Meanwhile, in the distance, the visual also features Knuckleduster, who is seemingly set to get down from the rooftop. This part of the visual might be a way for the anime to symbolize the character's decision to walk away from Koichi and Kazuho and step away from his vigilante activities.

Lastly, the teaser visual has also depicted the face of the anime's new antagonist on a building wall. As fans must have noticed, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has yet to reveal the antagonist's identity. However, the anime has made it clear that the new antagonist is somehow related to the same organization as Kuin Hachisuka. With that, fans can expect My Hero Academia: Vigilantes season 2 to continue focusing on the Ideo Trigger drug and its variants.
