My Hero Academia: Vigilantes release schedule – When are new episodes out?
There's a new My Hero Academia spin-off in town!
If you're a My Hero Academia fan impatiently waiting for season 8 to arrive, we have some good news for you: The new spin-off series is about to begin, filling the void between seasons.
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is adapted from a spin-off manga series by writer Hideyuki Furuhashi and artist Betten Court - in other words, not the original creator of My Hero Academia, Kōhei Horikoshi.
This prequel story takes place five years before the events of the main manga and anime, following a new protagonist named Koichi Haimawari.
Set in the familiar, superpower-filled world of My Hero Academia, this series will reportedly have a slightly darker tone, with Koichi becoming an unlikely hero.
He's a college student whose underwhelming quirk failed to qualify for pro hero training, but he ends up being recruited by a badass vigilante to fight crime.
Set to stream on Crunchyroll, here's everything you need to know about My Hero Academia: Vigilantes' release schedule!
