Vigilantes will start airing on April 7, 2025 exclusively on Crunchyroll. This is the same day as the Japanese release

Koichi is the main character of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. He is a college student and works in a convenience store (a part-time job, it seems). He lives in a rented, beat-up penthouse at the top of an old (and, frankly, seemingly abandoned) building.

New episodes of the My Hero Academia prequel series will stream the same day it airs in Japan. Though the main My Hero Academia anime series is set to end later this year, its gritty prequel is about to make its streaming debut on Crunchyroll.

A prequel to popular anime “ My Hero Academia ” is coming exclusively to Sony’s Crunchyroll streaming service outside of Asia next month.

A prequel to My Hero Academia will be released on Crunchyroll outside Asia on April 7. The series, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, follows Koichi Haimawari as he becomes a vigilante. The anime is produced by Bones Film and directed by Kenichi Suzuki.

Academia season 8 will be its last, which means at one of the defining shonen of the past decade is about to end. Or… is it? The beloved anime will be wrapping up this year, but a new adventure in that world is just about to begin.
