Fans of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes have reason to celebrate as the series makes its much-anticipated return. After the emotional finale of the main My Hero Academia series last month, the spin-off is set to deliver a fresh batch of episodes, picking up five years before the events of the original show. With a unique focus on unlicensed heroes, this season promises to dive even deeper into the world of vigilantes operating outside the law.
Adapted from the manga by Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court, the story centers on Koichi Haimawari, a college student who leads a group of underground heroes. The first season, which debuted last year, brought a new energy to the franchise, introducing fans to a weirder, more unpredictable side of the My Hero universe.
