According to Collider, a new My Hero Academia series has been announced to premiere this upcoming year. The spinoff of My Hero Academia titled My Hero Academia:Vigilantes has just revealed a new trailer showcasing what is to come from the series. During Jump Festa 2025, it was announced that the series is scheduled to premiere in April 2025.
Below is the trailer for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.
As per Collider, the description of the manga series posted by Viz Media is as follows: “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…”
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes will focus on the lives of individuals not in the regular series although some will make random appearances. This spinoff shows just how hectic things get for heroes who couldn’t get their hero license but still attempted to be heroic.
Below is the promotional poster for the series.
