A special video has also been released featuring the latest performance by FeatherHATS with the “Marukane Department Store Song REMIX”.

For those unfamiliar, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes began its run in Jump GIGA back in August 2016. Written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, the manga later transitioned to Shonen Jump+ and officially wrapped up in May 2022 after 15 thrilling volumes. The story explored the lives of underground heroes and vigilantes operating outside the spotlight of official hero society—making it an essential companion to the main MHA saga.

The anime is in expert hands over at BONES FILM, with Kenichi Suzuki (of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fame) taking the director’s chair. The script and series composition are managed by MHA veteran Yosuke Kuroda, while Takahiko Yoshida (Cells at Work!) handles character design. On the music side, Yuki Hayashi, Shogo Yamashira, and Yuki Furuhashi are crafting the score that fuels every emotional beat and scene.
