This chapter, set to release on June 3, 2024, has been a hot topic on social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), with raw scans and text-based spoilers surfacing on May 30, 2024. Among these spoilers, the appearance of Koichi Haimawari, the protagonist of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, has garnered considerable attention.
Horikoshi Confirms My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is Now Canon
Koichi Haimawari, also known as “The Crawler” in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, is a central figure in the spin-off manga created by Hideyuki Furuhashi. Vigilantes began serialization on April 4, 2017, and concluded on May 28, 2022, spanning 15 volumes and 126 chapters. Initially conceived as a spin-off, the series explored a different narrative within the same universe, focusing on characters not crucial to the main storyline.
The presence of Koichi in chapter 424 of My Hero Academia marks a pivotal moment, potentially establishing Vigilantes as canonical. Traditionally, spin-offs are set in the same universe but focus on less central characters, leaving their canonicity ambiguous. However, Koichi’s inclusion in the main storyline suggests a more integrated narrative.

Chapter 424 will go into the aftermath of the final war, highlighting the reconstruction of the city by heroes with construction-suited Quirks. Key characters like Deku, All Might, and Bakugo, who played vital roles in the battle against Shigaraki Tomura and All For One, will also be featured. The war has left the heroes significantly changed, having risked their lives to defeat these formidable villains.
Koichi Haimawari’s cameo in this chapter, even if brief, signifies a major crossover. In the raw scans, he is seen flying, which seamlessly transitions to another scene. His inclusion has excited fans, who have long anticipated his appearance in the main series, thereby validating Vigilantes as part of the official My Hero Academia canon.
Chapter 424 of My Hero Academia not only progresses the main storyline by addressing the post-war scenario but also bridges it with the Vigilantes narrative through Koichi Haimawari’s appearance. This development fulfills the long-standing hope of fans to see Vigilantes recognized within the primary canon of My Hero Academia, enriching the universe with interconnected storylines and characters.
