My Hero Academia: Vigilantes to Finally Make Anime Debut in 2025


As a seasoned anime enthusiast with years of watching and analyzing under my belt, I must say that I am genuinely thrilled about the upcoming anime debut of “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” next year. The prospect of delving into a spinoff series that is set five years before the events of the main series, offering insights into the hero world before Izuku Midoriya and his peers embarked on their careers, is simply intriguing.

Next year, we’ll finally witness the anime debut of “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” a spinoff series from the popular “My Hero Academia.” This means that while the main anime will conclude next year, fans won’t have to wait long to continue their heroic adventures with this spinoff.

The series titled “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” is a captivating spin-off from Kohei Horikoshi’s initial “My Hero Academia” manga, and it unfolds five years prior to the main storyline. This offshoot provides significant milestones for characters that aid in understanding some of the gaps within the anime’s narrative of the original series. Excitingly, more fans will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in this spinoff when it debuts next year. To mark this announcement, a sneak peek at the new anime has been revealed, and you can view its teaser poster below. Additionally, a special trailer is available for viewing in the video provided above.

What to Know for My Hero Academia’s New Anime

Originally penned by Hideyuki Furuhashi with art by Betten Court, “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” is an authorized spin-off that unfolds years prior to the storyline of the primary “My Hero Academia” series. Announced during Jump Festa 2025 this past weekend in Japan (as detailed in a press release), the new “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” anime is set to premiere sometime in April as part of the Spring 2025 anime lineup. Similar to the main “My Hero Academia” series, animation production will be handled by Studio Bones.

In “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” we follow a fresh protagonist, Koichi Haimawari, an aspiring hero who assists his community with his powers without an official hero license. Unlike the licensed heroes we often see in the main storyline, Koichi works independently and safeguards his neighborhood as “The Crawler.” Similar to the main series, it doesn’t take long for Koichi to find himself in situations far beyond what he initially imagined when he began his vigilante hero work.

Why You Should Be Excited for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

The anime adaptation of “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” has long been anticipated by fans due to its spinoff nature yet significant connections to the main series’ plotlines. Set as a prequel to “My Hero Academia,” this spin-off delves into the hero world prior to when characters like Izuku Midoriya embarked on their promising student careers. This perspective offers a closer look at heroes such as All Might during their prime, which is not typically depicted in the original series.

This spin-off series holds significant value because it’s an integral part of the main storyline in My Hero Academia. It delves deeper into Shota Aizawa’s background, which was previously hinted at but not fully explored in the original series. As a result, viewers will be able to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the My Hero Academia universe when this long-anticipated spin-off premieres next Spring. It’s definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
