Vigilantes Season 2 Drops January 5 with 13-Episode Run
The My Hero Academia spin-off returns with its second season starting January 5, 2026, featuring 13 episodes exclusively on Crunchyroll. New episodes air every Monday through March 30.
The wait is over for fans still processing the emotional finale of My Hero Academia. The spin-off series returns with fresh episodes starting this week, bringing back the unlicensed heroes who operate in the shadows.
Set five years before the main series events, this adaptation of Hideyuki Furuhashi's manga brought a stranger, more experimental edge to the franchise when it debuted last year. College student Koichi Haimawari takes center stage as the lead character, navigating a world where heroes work outside official channels.
Release Timeline and Schedule
Season 2 kicks off January 5, 2026 at 5:00 AM Pacific and 8:00 AM Eastern. UK viewers can catch it at 1:00 PM GMT.
The season runs for exactly three months. Episodes drop every Monday, wrapping up March 30. Here's the complete episode schedule: Episode 1 arrives January 5, followed by episodes on January 12, 19, and 26. February brings episodes on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd. March concludes the season with episodes on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and the finale on March 30.
Episode Count and Availability
This season matches the first with 13 episodes total. That's significantly shorter than typical main series seasons, which usually run 25 episodes. The final season broke that pattern, but Vigilantes maintains its compact format.
Crunchyroll holds exclusive US streaming rights. The platform continues its partnership with the franchise, making it the sole destination for American viewers.
