In the vibrant world of anime, I’ve found myself drawn into the second half of “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” this Spring. The English dubbed version of this captivating series has brought aboard a renowned star from the “Dragon Ball” universe to breathe life into America’s latest top hero. This spin-off has offered an intriguing perspective on Japan’s hero society, providing insights into how it has evolved since Izuku Midoriya and his peers joined U.A. Academy. Yet, it also delves deeper, casting a spotlight on the global landscape of hero societies, revealing more about the world beyond Japan.
In “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” we’ve been given a closer look at the less glamorous aspects of the hero world. It’s become evident that not all who are labeled as criminals within this system are truly evil, and it seems even the heroes themselves aren’t always above reproach. This is particularly true with the introduction of the latest hero, Captain Celebrity, voiced by renowned voice actor Sean Schemmel, best known for his work in the “Dragon Ball” series as Goku and others.
Have you seen Sean Schemmel portraying Captain Celebrity yet? The latest installment of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is currently available for streaming, with options for both subtitled and dubbed versions, on Crunchyroll!

Dragon Ball Star Joins My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
In Episode 8 of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, Captain Celebrity, a hero hailing from the U.S., made his anime debut. Known as one of the top heroes in his region, Koichi Haimawari encounters him within their neighborhood. It turns out that this American hero is merely seeking fame, exaggerating situations to gain attention from the press. He possesses flight and super strength abilities, yet only uses them when requested by the police or for media coverage of his actions.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that Captain Celebrity, who often finds himself embroiled in controversies, is known to have traveled to Japan with the aim of improving his tarnished reputation. His past is littered with scandals involving numerous women from the U.S., and it seems he’ll be playing a significant part in Koichi’s life going forward. This implies that they are bound to encounter each other in unexpected ways, and a renowned actor will lend his voice to bring him to life in the upcoming English dubbed version of their story.
Captain Celebrity Spotlights My Hero Academia’s Broken Heroes
In “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” we’re seeing that the hero system might be more flawed than fans initially thought. Characters like Captain Celebrity exemplify this, as it’s been suggested that the hero system originated from the U.S., leading to discussions about whether its purpose was to control those with superpowers (quirks). Ultimately, only a select few were officially designated as heroes in the U.S.
In an amusing twist, Sean Schemmel from Dragon Ball brings rugged edge to Captain Celebrity, while Christopher R. Sabat as All Might mirrors this in Dragon Ball. These characters are almost doppelgangers, emulating the dynamic between Goku and Vegeta. They share similarities, yet their fundamental differences breathe life into their relationship. This theme has now extended to My Hero Academia: Vigilantes too.
