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

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

The My Hero Academia: Vigilantes anime will prove to fans that Best Jeanist was always a strong, brave and intelligent hero who’s worthy of his high ranking, especially during the climactic Sky Egg Arc, in which he will get to display his incredible powers in a way that will surely leave an impact on the audience.

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.

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.

Vigilantes takes place years before the events of the main series, and follows a trio of underground heroes who illegally start fighting criminals to protect their town when the heroes don’t show up.

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.

Vigilantes, a prequel to the popular series, will premiere on April 7 on Crunchyroll for audiences outside Asia. The show follows Koichi Haimawari and his vigilante companions as they fight crime without government approval.

Vigilantes will be here April 7, and Crunchyroll has revealed that it will be offering a simultaneous release. The anime series, which is based off a manga by Hideyuki Furuhashi, Betten Court, and Kohei Horikoshi,
