Vigilantes Season 2 Main Trailer and Key Visual Released, January 5 Premiere Date Revealed

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 has received a main trailer and a key visual, along with the announcement of a January 5 premiere date.

Visuals for Fat Gum and Monika were also released. Kazuyuki Okitsu is voicing the former once again, while the latter is revealed to be played by Kana Ueda.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is based on the Shueisha-published manga drawn by Betten Court and written by Hideyuki Furuhashi. Viz Media describes the manga’s synopsis as such:

Koichi Haimawari couldn’t make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage—or foolishness—to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave…

The manga is a spin-off of Kohei Horikoshi‘s My Hero Academia, which has its own, soon-to-end TV anime adaptation. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes ran from 2016 and to 2022 and is collected into 15 volumes. A one-shot was released in April 2025, shortly after the anime’s first season started airing.
