What Is My Hero Academia: Vigilantes About?

In a world where most inhabitants possess unique abilities called Quirks, “My Hero Academy” follows the storyline. Those who use their powers for good can obtain licenses and work as official heroes through an agency. However, those who engage in crime-fighting without a license are considered vigilantes. The spinoff series, “My Hero Academy: Vigilantes“, unfolds five years before the main storyline’s events and revolves around a vigilante named Koichi. Equipped with a Quirk that allows him to move swiftly across flat surfaces by touching three different parts of his body to the surface, he goes by The Crawler in his crime-fighting endeavors. He allies himself with other vigilantes to combat supervillains.

The manga “Vigilantes” was distributed by Shueisha under their Jump Comics+ label in Japan and in the Shonen Jump+ magazine. This series ran from 2016 to 2022, spanning over fifteen volumes, making it a six-year run. It was the second spin-off of “My Hero Academia,” coming after “My Hero Academia: Smash!!” and followed by “Team-Up Missions.” Unlike the main series, “Vigilantes” doesn’t heavily involve characters from the primary storyline. Although prominent heroes like All-Might make minor appearances, the focus is primarily on original characters not associated with the main series cast.

In the spin-off of “My Hero Academia,” fans get an exclusive glance into the universe’s past, revealing events before Deku acquired One for All’s power. While the primary series delves into superhero work as a profession, “Vigilantes” concentrates on individuals operating outside the system. The atmosphere is significantly distinct between those trained to be heroes and those who learn through experience.
