Even though My Hero Academia has concluded (the anime still has one more season), a new series is scheduled to start up in the spring of next year. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was revealed during the My Hero Academia panel at Jump Festa ’25.
The announcement was made on stage by the voice actors Yuki Kaji (Shoto Todoroki), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Katsuki Bakugo), Daiki Yamashita (Izuku Midoriya), and Kenta Miyake (All Might) who were hosting the panel. A teaser trailer was revealed alongside a new key visual, both of which were shared on social media.
The anime is being directed by Kenichi Suzuki, with series composition and script by Yosuke Kuroda, character designs by Takahiko Yoshida, art direction by Yukihiro Watanabe, colour designs by Haruko Nobori, 3DCG director Mizuki Sasaki, music by Yuki Hayashi, Shogo Yamashiro, and Yuki Furuhashi, sound direction by Masafumi Mima, and animation production by Bones.
In a world where nearly 80 percent of the population are born with unique abilities, many of these use their powers for good, but there are some, who choose to use them for more malevolent purposes. This is the story of the “vigilantes.”
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, a prequel manga to Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia, is written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, was serialized first in Jump Giga before transitioning to Shonen Jump+ from August 20th, 2016 until May 28th, 2022. In North America, VIZ Media distributes the English-translated manga in print and digital formats.
