What is My Hero Academia: Vigilantes About?
For those unacquainted with the series, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is a prequel spin-off centered around Koichi Haimawari, a young man with a relatively weak, movement-type quirk called Slide and Glide. Despite his weak ability and his perceived inability to become a hero, Koichi does everything he can to help those around him, taking on the alias Nice Guy.
However, pro-heroes can’t always be everywhere all at once, and there are undeniably limits to the number of people they can help, which is precisely where vigilante heroes like Koichi come in. Despite his initial lack of faith in himself and his quirk, Koichi’s life takes a turn when he and the self-proclaimed idol Pop Step are recruited by the vigilante hero Knuckleduster, thus kicking off the trio’s superhero adventures.
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is streaming on Crunchyroll.
