The Vigilantes spin-off manga, penned by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, unfolds five years before the events of Deku's journey. The anime adaptation is once again brought to life by Bones Studio, and IGN's review of the premiere episode praises it as "a worthy spin-off of the popular superhero anime." Here's the official synopsis of the new anime:

Koichi Haimawari, a seemingly ordinary college student with dreams of becoming a hero, has resigned himself to a life without heroics. In a world where 80% of the population possesses superhuman powers known as Quirks, only a select few are chosen to become licensed heroes. Koichi's life takes a dramatic turn when he and Pop☆Step are rescued by the vigilante Knuckleduster, who recruits them to join his cause as vigilantes.
