The series, set five years before the main storyline, follows Koichi Haimawari, a college student with a modest quirk who becomes a vigilante hero.
Produced by Studio Bones, the anime features returning staff from the main series, including Yosuke Kuroda for scriptwriting and Yuki Hayashi for music composition.
