What is My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Anime About?
As it is a spin-off series based on “My Hero Academia,” it is set in the same world where heroes use their quirks to do good!
Koichi Haimawari always wanted to be a hero growing up, but he was blessed with a mediocre quirk like “sliding” that sticks his limbs to the ground and allows him to slide wherever he wants. He soon realized that becoming a professional hero would be impossible because his quirk wasn’t just up to the mark.
But that doesn’t stop him from doing good deeds. He uses his quirk to help people as much as possible, like returning lost items or assisting the elderly.
While professional heroes like All Might can legally use their quirks to fight crime and maintain law and order in society, certain people who aren’t registered are considered vigilantes.
One such vigilante is Knuckleduster, who encounters Koichi during a back alley brawl. Seeing potential in Koichi, Knuckleduster asks him to help him in his vigilante activities. He tells him about a new drug called “Trigger” and how it can boost the user’s quirk but take away their sense and rationality.
They are soon joined by a third member, Kazuho Haneyama, aka Pop☆Step, a freelance idol. Together, they create an unlikely team of vigilantes.
While all three of them want to do some good for society and take down criminals, none of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage and foolishness to give it a go!
