My Hero Academia: Vigilantes episode 7, titled Makoto/Truth, saw Makoto Tsukauchi approach Koichi, offering him help with his test preparation. In exchange, she wanted his help with her thesis. Therefore, Makoto went to Koichi's place and tutored him. Later, she set up a meeting time with him to collect data for her thesis.

Makoto was investigating how the people perceived the Naruhata vigilantes. Hence, she and Koichi went through the city, asking people questions about the vigilantes. Moments later, someone stole Makoto's laptop. But fortunately, Koichi and his friends recovered it. The anime ended with Makoto using her Polygraph Quirk to check if Koichi was the "Cruller." Given the incorrect name, Koichi succeeded in concealing his identity.

What to expect from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes episode 8?

According to the preview for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes episode 8, titled Major, the upcoming episode will see a hero called Captain Celebrity come to Japan from America, the Land of the Heroes. While this was a huge thing, the hero seemed full of himself, and Koichi was bad at dealing with such guys.

As seen in the preview, Captain Celebrity is set to approach Makoto Tsukauchi, which will notably leave Koichi jealous. With that, Koichi will conclude that All Might is the best hero after all.
