My Hero Academia is setting the stage for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes’ grand finale with the newest chapter, and has given fans the first look at Koichi Haimawari’s official hero costume with its final moments! The spin-off series has been building towards its climax ever since the Naruhata War arc first began, and it had tested Koichi more as a young vigilante than any other fight he had been in to date. With the fight putting a giant target on him due to his admittedly illegal heroic activity, he is now forging ahead as a proper pro hero heading into the final chapter.
The final moments of the previous chapter had teased that Koichi was signing up to work as a sidekick to Captain Celebrity, and with the penultimate chapter of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes taking place a few months since the fight with Number Six, it’s revealed that Koichi has been working hard as a proper pro hero. Based out of Captain Celebrity’s agency in New York City, fans get a first look at his true hero gear (which means no more All Might hoodies!) with the final moments of the chapter as he gets ready to hit the field:

Chapter 125 of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, the second to last chapter of the spin-off series overall, does not focus too much on Koichi himself as it reveals how Naruhata and all of his old friends have been moving on since all of the chaos caused by Number Six months ago. It’s revealed that he’s pretty much moved on as not only has his former home been torn down as part of an effort to build back the destroyed Naruhata in a better way, but Kazuho Haneyama then reveals he’s been working hard in the United States.
The final moments of the chapter tease Koichi ready to help out following a call from New York City’s mayor, and he’s been dubbed the Skycrawler as his official hero name. His gear has changed as well as while he still has a hoodie, and it seems the All Might hair flair has been altered a bit to better seemingly be more fluid with the hoodie itself. He’s now donned some slick body armor, too, so he’s much more protected and seemingly stronger than he ever was as a vigilante.
What do you think? How do you feel about Koichi’s official hero gear as the Skycrawler so far? Curious to see how the rest of his life turns out in the coming final chapter of the series?
