My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

New trailer for upcoming My Hero Academia: Vigilantes available; voice cast revealed

Just month after being officially confirmed at Jump Festa ’25, a new trailer is now out for the anime adaptation of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.

In the video, university student Koichi Haimawari unenthusiastically works part-time at a convenience store. With his Quirk Slide and Glide, Koichi aspires to be someone greater by helping those in trouble. When the vigilante Knuckleduster offers Koichi the opportunity he’s looking for, he becomes a partner in tracking down and defeating any villains they encounter.

Fans will easily recognize the appearance of two Pro Heroes Shota Aizawa and Tensei Iida (Tenya’s older brother) in the trailer.

So far, the confirmed voice cast includes Shuichiro Umeda as Koichi Haimawari (The Crawler), Ikumi Hasegawa as Kazuho Haneyama (Pop★Step), and Yasuhiro Mamiya as Iwao Oguro (Knuckleduster).

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.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is scheduled to premiere in April 2025.
