Koichi impresses Knuckleduster with improved moves, though Pop is irritated by Makoto. Public interviews reveal mixed opinions about the vigilantes. After Makoto’s laptop is stolen, Koichi pursues the thief, though Jube and Ichimoku stop him. Makoto uses her Polygraph Quirk on Koichi, which he passes, baffling her.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Episode 8 will feature the arrival of a top-ranked American Pro Hero known as Playboy Hero: Captain Celebrity. He is known for his flashy behavior and womanizing reputation. Captain Celebrity will rescue Koichi from danger this episode and will immediately annoy Koichi with his egotistical approach and prioritization of media attention over proper hero conduct.
Captain Celebrity will also approach Makoto in a friendly, possibly flirtatious manner, creating further tension with Koichi. As the boy observes the contrast between genuine heroism and celebrity image, new personal and social challenges will begin to surface around the foreign hero’s presence.
