Fans of My Hero Academia can now bring a piece of U.A. High School’s iconic style into their everyday wardrobe.

The first collection, now available, features cropped hoodies, utility jackets, fitted rompers, and cargo sweatpants.

In a recent comment tied to My Hero Academia’s final art book, creator Kohei Horikoshi stirred the fanbase by teasing the idea of a potential spin-off. The series, which is nearing its anime conclusion, has already left a massive legacy across anime, merchandise, and fandom spaces. But now, it seems Horikoshi may not be entirely ready to close the door, especially if it means exploring the world from a different angle.

My Hero Academia is, like many shonen anime and manga series, heavily influenced by the behemoth that is Dragon Ball. Series creator Kohei Horikoshi acknowledged this influence in a piece from a year back, although everyone seems to have missed the reference.

Between the release of the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes anime series, the conclusion of the My Hero Academia manga, and the announcement of the series' eighth and final season, it has been a major few months for the superhero anime.

My Hero Academia: Vigilanteshas carved out its own corner of the franchise by focusing on characters that challenge the hero society. The spin-off is recognized for its gritty and eye-opening take on heroism from a much different and far more relatable level. It offers a more morally gray narrative compared to its predecessor, and it expands the world of heroes and villains in a way that adds greater depth to the overall series.

With new revelations learned in episode #9, however, it's becoming clear that Koichi's Quirk is actually quite different from what everyone believes it to be.

Fans of My Hero Academia are eagerly awaiting the series' final season, which is set to debut in October 2025. However, some lucky fans won't have to wait that long to get a first look, as Anime Expo is offering a sneak preview to attendees.

My Hero Academia is packed with thrilling characters, especially the villains. From Tomura Shigaraki to Stain and All For One, the series successfully offers fans antagonists with clear motivations, backstories, and a strong sense of purpose. They become the driving forces behind the story that challenge the core values of both the cast and the hero society as a whole.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has made it clear that it's not afraid of doing things that the main My Hero Academia series has shied away from. Now the spinoff series is taking things to the next level as it examines a topic that's truly worth looking into: hero worship.
