Living in a superhero society is difficult. Even more so when the spotlights only shine on professional heroes, those legally authorized to use their special powers known as Quirks in public for the greater good.
Kouichi Haimawari grew up aspiring to be a hero, but with a mediocre Quirk as the “slide” that binds him to the ground, he soon came to the conclusion that he could only admire them from below. Despite this, Kouichi is satisfied using his Quirk to carry out good daily actions, such as returning lost items and helping the elderly to cross the street.
However, Kouichi’s peaceful life turns to the turbulent when he is rescued from a fight in an alley by the watchman, or illegal hero, KnuckleDuster. Knuckleduster, who sees Kouichi a potential hero, asks him for help discovering the origin of a dangerous drug known as Trigger, which enhances the user’s Quirk at the expense of his rationality.
Set in a time before the events of the original story, Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals follows Kouichi in his decision to assume the reputation of a villain and become a vigilante, operating in the shadow of the law to prevent crimes from going out Surface.
