After all, who doesn't love it when an anime delivers not only action, but also songs that touch the hearts of fans? That's exactly what Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals brought with the premiere of the lyric video for the song "Looking for you," performed by the talented Hasegawa Ikumi , the official voice of Pop☆Step .
- Black Clover: Return could surprise fans in the summer of 2025
- The Beginning After the End Ep. 6: Arthur's Training
The video, which is already available on YouTube, arrived shortly after the airing of episode 5, broadcast on May 5, 2025. Furthermore, it delves into Pop's deepest feelings as he recalls significant moments from his past with Kōichi. As the clip progresses, the carefully chosen images accompany the emotional lyrics, making the experience even more impactful for fans. Surprisingly, a new visual highlighting the duo in the episode that revealed this part of their past was also released.
An official spin-off that conquered the world
First of all, it's worth remembering that Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals is an official spin-off of Kōhei Horikoshi's acclaimed manga. Although the script is by Hideyuki Furuhashi and the artwork is by Betten Court, the work connects directly to the official My Hero Academia .
Published between 2017 and 2022 on the Shonen Jump+ platform, the manga gained fans not only in Japan but also abroad. After all, who can resist a plot that explores the behind-the-scenes world of heroes who, although illegal, cannot turn their backs on those who need help? Therefore, while official heroes fight villains using their "quirks," vigilantes operate in the shadows to protect the innocent.
Currently, the anime adaptation is being directed by Kenichi Suzuki — known for his work on Cells at Work and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean — and, similar to the main anime, is being produced by Studio Bones.
