New details on the anime adaptation of Vigilante - Boku No Hero Academia: Illegals

The spin-off series to the popular franchise My Hero Academia reveals additional voice actors, the opening theme, as well as a dynamic key visual and a main trailer.

Expanded Cast and Music

- Ayaka Senbongi (The Ancient Magus' Bride) voices the antagonistic character Chikumi Hachisuka, a student with insect-controlling abilities.

- Kōsuke Toriumi (Free!) takes on the role of Sōga, a ruthless street thug.

- Tokuyoshi Kawashima continues his portrayal of police officer Naomasa Tsukauchi from the main series.

The opening song Kekka Ōrai is performed by singer Kenshi Yonezu, who describes himself as a long-time fan of the Vigilante series. This marks his first collaboration with an anime project.

The released key visual unites iconic pro heroes from My Hero Academia with the protagonists of the "Illegals" series, including Koichi Haimawari (The Crawler) and the newly announced antagonists. The trailer emphasizes the series' dark atmosphere: brutal battles, political intrigue, and the moral gray areas of vigilantism take center stage.

Based on the manga licensed by Kōhei Horikoshi, written by Hideyuki Furuhashi (story) and illustrated by Betten Court (art), the series explores the darker side of a superhero society. The source material, published between 2017 and 2022, spans 15 volumes and serves as a bridge to events in the main series.
