"My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Begins April 7 On Crunchyroll"​

"With now less than a month to go before the premiere of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, the spinoff of the popular series, it’s time for a new trailer that reveals a bit more of the plot, shows off all the animation work and teases cameos from the original MHA show. Plus, there are posters now!

The show takes place several years prior to the beginning of My Hero Academia, and introduces us to Koichi Haimawari, a young man who dreams of being a hero, if only circumstances would allow it. In this case it’s not the lack of a quirk, but the fact that you need to attend a school like the one Deku goes to in order to be officially recognized as a hero, and Koichi can’t get in."

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"“My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” Season 2 Coming to Crunchyroll January 2026"​

"The eighth and final season of My Hero Academia will release on October 4, 2025, but even after the main series ends, we will still continue to get new content in the franchise as we’ll get season 2 of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes almost immediately after the main series ends, with a release date of January 2026 given.

So far, we just have a release date and that’s it. No trailer or anything else really to go off of. The first season of Vigilantes was given a same day dub by Crunchyroll, a fate that could be possibly bestowed upon season two. Most likely, season two will also consist of a single cour of 13 episodes like the first season. Season one of Vigilantes streamed on Crunchyroll in the Spring 2025 anime season, so season two is set to stream less than a year after the first."
