My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is back with new episodes, and we couldn't be more excited considering we are still recovering from the emotional ending of My Hero Academia last month. Set five years before the flagship show, the spin-off releases its season 2 this week, and here's everything you need to know.

Adapted from the manga written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, the story focuses on unlicensed heroes who operate outside official systems, with college student Koichi Haimawari leading as the main character. What adventures are in store for him in the upcoming new season?
