A dramatic post-Episode 11 visual for the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes TV anime has been released, with Knuckle Duster sharing the space with an incensed, teeth-baring Kuin Hachisuka.
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes premiered on April 7 JST and is available on platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, Ani-One Asia Ultra, and Bilibili. It is based on the Shueisha-published manga drawn by Betten Court and written by Hideyuki Furuhashi. Viz Media describes the manga’s premise as:
Koichi Haimawari couldn’t make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage—or foolishness—to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave…
The manga debuted in 2016 and concluded in 2022, with a one-shot being released in April 2025. The series has been collected into 15 volumes.
