My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Anime Will Stream on Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll confirmed it will be the streaming home of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, an anime spin-off of the main manga and anime series. We already knew it would debut in April 2025, but now that’s been pinned down to April 7, 2025. As usual, these will be simulcasts out of Japan, so only Japanese audio with English subtitles will be available when it first debuts. The original anime adaptation and two movies based on the series are already streaming on the service.

To go along with the reveal, there is a new trailer for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes that shows off the main characters in the new anime. You do need to turn on closed captions for the English translation. It starts by introducing Koichi “Nice Guy” Haimawari, the hero of the series and head vigilante. He meets Iwao “Knuckleduster” Oguro, a vigilante who takes him under his wing. Also in their group is Kazuho “Pop Star” Haneyama. The footage of them trying to be heroes in their own way is interspersed with moments in their college life. We also see their main opponent and goal to help wipe out a drug that enhances Quirks and makes people into villains. 

Here’s the full trailer. Toward the halfway mark, we get to hear the Kocchi no Kento theme song “Kekka Orai.”

The new key art also appeared, which shows the three lead characters and other prominent figures in the show. Here’s how that looks:
