A special illustration drawn by the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes manga artist, Betten Court, was also released. The text reads:
Vigilantes Anime About to Air!
“It’s finally starting!
It’s not exactly HeroAca, but it’s also kind of like HeroAca—such is the spin-off Vigilantes.
I’d be very happy if you could enjoy it alongside the main series, My Hero Academia!”

The story of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes manga takes place 5 years before the main story. VIZ describes the first volume: 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…
