While My Hero Academia is currently in its final arc when it comes to the story of Deku and the students of UA Academy, the spin-off series of Vigilantes is also reportedly inching toward its finale with the protagonist of the series, Crawler, arriving on the cover for a new collection of chapters from the spin-off. With Crawler currently being joined by some of the movers and shakers when it comes to the world of professional crime fighters in Hero Society, it will be interesting to see if the young vigilante makes an appearance in the main series before its grand finale.
Currently, there are no plans for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes to receive an anime adaptation of its own, but considering the territory that the spin-off has covered so far, there are certainly some big moments for the franchise that would make a splash on the small screen. Aside from telling the story of heroes that operate outside of the system of the official crime fighters of hero society, the spin-off also takes the opportunity to dive into the past, giving us stories from the early lives of characters such as Eraserhead, Present Mic, Midnight, Mirko, and many others.
Twitter Outlet Manga Mogura RE shared the new cover for a My Hero Academia: Vigilantes collection, showing off a battle-damaged Crawler as fans wonder what the future will hold for the young vigilante once the spin-off series comes to an end in the pages of its manga series:

Crawler has yet to make an official appearance in the main series of My Hero Academia, leaving many fans wondering if the young vigilante will ever team up with Izuku and the other students of Class 1-A. If you haven’t read the spin-off before, Crawler’s Quirk allows him to “slide and glide”, aka slide across smooth surfaces which has definitely come in handy during his heroic career. While this power might not seem all that on the surface, Crawler has found some unique ways to utilize the abilities at his disposal.
What do you think of this new cover for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes? Do you think that Crawler will make an appearance in the final arc of the main series currently playing out in the pages of its manga?
