After the final episode of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes premiered this week, Toho officially announced that Season 2 is underway for the hit prequel to the beloved anime series My Hero Academia, based on the original manga created by Kohei Horikoshi. A teaser trailer and teaser visual have been revealed, hinting at the events to come in the upcoming sequel season. Season 2 will arrive in 2026 and will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide, excluding Asia.

My Hero Academia is a Japanese anime series based on the popular comics by Kohei Horikoshi. It is set in a world where about 80% of the population has a superpowered Quirk. Heroes protect people and society from accidents, disasters, and villains—criminals who use their Quirks for evil. The story of Izuku Midoriya and his classmates at U.A. High School and their growth, fights, and friendship unfolds as they aim to become heroes. The anime series will release its eighth and final season in Fall 2025.

Vigilantes season one featured Koichi Haimawari is a dull college student who aspires to be a hero but has given up on his dream. Although 80% of the world's population has superhuman powers called Quirks, few are chosen to become heroes and protect people. Everything changes for Koichi when he and Pop-Step are saved by the vigilante Knuckleduster and get recruited to become vigilantes themselves!
