Recap of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Episode 1

In the opening episode, titled “I’m Here,” viewers are introduced to Koichi Haimawari, an average college student harboring aspirations of becoming a hero. Despite his ambition, Koichi grapples with the belief that his quirk is ill-suited for heroism. Nevertheless, he takes to the streets in a cosplay resembling All Might, under the guise of “Nice Guy,”to assist others.
During an encounter with three villains who threatened Pop☆Step, a freelance idol, Koichi endeavored to intervene but fell short. This is where the enigmatic vigilante Knuckleduster intervened, handily defeating the adversaries while revealing his own methods of justice, including the unusual check of their tongues as evidence in his investigation.
Subsequently, Knuckleduster takes Koichi under his wing, shedding light on a dangerous substance called “trigger,” which amplifies a person’s quirk at the cost of their sanity.
