My Hero Academia: Vigilantes episode 1, titled I'm Here, introduced fans to Koichi Haimawari, a dull college student who wished to become a hero. Unfortunately, he believed his quirk was unsuited for the job. Instead, he used his quirk to help people while cosplaying as All Might and donning the "Nice Guy" persona.

One such night, three villains confronted him and a freelance idol Pop☆Step. The villains wanted to expose Pop☆Step on the internet. Koichi tried to rescue her but failed. That's when vigilante Knuckleduster jumped into action. He defeated the three villains with some help from Koichi and checked their tongues as part of his investigation.

The episode later saw Knuckleduster recruit Koichi as his apprentice. He explained to him about a drug that was making its rounds in the city. The drug called "trigger" was capable of enhancing one's quirk at the expense of their rationality.
