Living in a society of superheroes is difficult. Even more so when the spotlight only shines on professional heroes, those legally allowed 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 like the “glide” that binds him to the ground, he soon came to the conclusion that he could only admire them from below. Despite this, Kouichi finds satisfaction in using his Quirk to perform everyday good deeds, such as returning lost items and helping the elderly cross the street.
However, Kouichi's peaceful life takes a turn for the turbulent when he is rescued from an alley fight by the Watcher, or illegal hero, Knuckleduster.

Set in a time before the events of the original story, Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals follows Kouichi as he decides to take on the reputation of a villain and become a Vigilante, operating in the shadow of the law to prevent crimes from getting out. to the surface.
