My Hero Academia to Finally Reveal Its Most Important Flashback Yet (New Trailer Released)

by

The anime series My Hero Academia is adding a long-awaited flashback episode, and a new trailer gives fans a preview of Shota Aizawa’s past. While the main TV anime series recently concluded, wrapping up the hero-villain war, there wasn’t enough time to show everything from the manga. Creator Kohei Horikoshi couldn’t fit all the details into the show, so this flashback will fill in some missing pieces.

Even though My Hero Academia: Vigilantes doesn’t always get the spotlight, the next episode promises to be a standout. The series has consistently featured Shota Aizawa, a pro hero who frequently interacts with Koichi Haimawari and the other vigilantes. Now, fans will finally get a detailed look into Aizawa’s past as a student, with a major story arc debuting in the next episode. Check out the trailer and poster for a sneak peek!

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Shares Trailer for Aizawa School Days Arc

The next episode of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, which will be released in Japan on February 9th, will adapt the ‘Aizawa School Days’ arc. This arc explores Aizawa’s time as a student at U.A. Academy with Present Mic and Midnight, and reveals his connection to Oboro Shirakumo—the student who would later become the foundation for the character Kurogiri in the main My Hero Academia series. The original anime didn’t have time to fully explain this backstory, so this episode will offer a deeper look.

This arc of the My Hero Academia spinoff is incredibly important for understanding the series’ backstory. It explains what happened to Shirakumo and how he eventually returns, and it provides a much deeper insight into Aizawa’s personality and motivations before the events of the main story. Because the spinoff takes place years earlier, this arc directly connects to the main storyline and offers crucial context for understanding Aizawa’s reaction to the revelation about Kurogiri later on – it’s a must-read for fans who want the complete picture.

What’s Next for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes?

What’s interesting about the upcoming Aizawa School Days arc in the My Hero Academia anime is that it’s not following the order of events from the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes manga. Based on the trailer and available information, it looks like the entire flashback will be contained within a single episode. This could allow the rest of the season to focus on new developments, and it appears the arc that originally happened before the flashback is now being moved to a later point in the season.

Season 2 of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has been building up danger for Koichi and his team, and he’s also getting better at using his powers. Everything is coming to a head as the season nears its end in the next few weeks! Now is a great time to start watching – it’s currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
