The My Hero Academia: Vigilantes TV anime has received a climax trailer in advance of Episode 12’s June 23 JST premiere.
The promotional video previews both Pop Step’s performance situation and Knuckle Duster’s one-on-one with 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. The anime adapts the Shueisha-published manga drawn by Betten Court and written by Hideyuki Furuhashi, which is a spin-off of Kohei Horikoshi‘s My Hero Academia. 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 My Hero Academia: Vigilantes manga ran from 2016 to 2022, with a one-shot being released in April 2025. The series has been collected into 15 volumes.
