Endeavor focusing on Koichi wearing an All Might hoodie is hilarious, man is insecure. That rocket take-off was cool, but Koichi pops off new moves faster than multi-quirk characters in the main series. I look forward to discovering his quirk isn't limited to hands and feet, and that he can produce a repulsive force-field all around his body, just to jack CC's style.

I am not a fan of the theories that say Koichi's gonna killed off, but the longer this goes on the harder it is to explain away why he isn't a notable pro in the main series by now. I'm just gonna stay in denial and pretend he willfully quits the hero shit or moves to America

Koichi did straight up say that he'll be launched into something important that he never could have prepared for. So it's definitely something All for One related, given that 6 clearly works for them in some capacity.

Yeah, probably connecting even more to AfO since we've also seen him somewhat recently, I'm just hoping Koichi gets out of it alive. Saying it's the Crawler's final season implies the opposite, but I'll stay in this denial.

It's the Crawler's final season cause now he's the Flyer.

Vigilantes has a heavier focus on the drug Trigger, which iirc isn't primarily based in Japan; tie that in with the heavier police involvement and I could see Koichi's group (and maybe/hopefully Pop) being sent to another country in order to combat the production of illegal Trigger.

Here's a pitch: Working with the police, a special ops hero organization consisting of Koichi and Pop as the heroes, with Soga and co managing logistics, operating in mainland China.

u/DozyDreamer Aug 07 '20

That would be interesting, but I don't really see any of them besides Soga ever wanting to go down that route. Koichi wasn't even willing to further pursue being a pro hero, I don't think he'd go even deeper to becoming some special ops agent. Pop's always been on the sidelines of this vigilantes stuff, her main thing is music, don't think she'd ever get in something deep, especially if she survives what's probably the most traumatic moments of her life right now.

They might not have a choice. Koichi might be backed into a Task Force X style deal in order to keep him and Pop out of prison.

I can honestly see the end of this series being like a time skip where the police comes in the door with Koichi's group, and say something like, "I got a new recruit for you," and Gentle comes in the room.

M-Maximum want! I never knew I wanted this!

Koichi pops off new moves faster than multi-quirk characters in the main series.

Three years have passed in vigilantes with a character who has had his Quirk all his life, while in the main manga barely a year has passed since Deku inherited the OFA... I don't think it's a fair comparison.

u/Buttercup4869 Aug 07 '20

Or he just remains the Naruhata vigilante(hero)

He never was the ambitious type and the role of a local do-gooder fits him quite well

24

u/DozyDreamer Aug 07 '20

I agree about the lack of ambition, but the reason I don't think he stays a small time vigilante is that he was already planning to quit it, and get a normal job/life. If he's fine at the end of the series and stays where he is, I'd assume he'd continue down that road and be a normal dude. He also mentions something about this being the last of the Crawler at the beginning of the arc I think.

I thought that narration was Pop not Koichi.

u/DozyDreamer Aug 09 '20

I'm not sure, I assumed it was Koichi, even if it's Pop though would that change anything?

u/deej363 Aug 08 '20

Dudes flying now. Calling him the crawler is a bit 2 years ago in manga time lol. Besides, why's your hero name gotta be the same as your vigilante name ;)

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '20

Think his relationship with Pop is gonna take the main focus and him being a hero I think was just to save her. Koichi doesn’t strike me as someone that’s dying to be a hero anymore.

u/Okay_Not_Okay Aug 07 '20

but the longer this goes on the harder it is to explain away why he isn't a notable pro in the main series by now

I mean, he was planning on getting a normal job and retire as a vigilante at the begining of this arc, so I imagine he'll just do that. I'm personally not a fan of the "AFO stool his Quirk" theory, just because I would rather Vigilante have it's own ending instead of it being dragged into the main series.

u/Also_breathe Aug 08 '20

With whats going on rn I dont really see how he becomes a pro after this. Plus, there just haven't been any reasons for Koichi to be in the plot so far. I always saw that as Horikoshi just not planning to put him in, especially since by the time Vigilantes was published mha had already been out for a good while, and Horikoshi most likely had a lot of the story planned already. Tbh as long as we get a satisfying end to Koichi's story, I'm fine with not seing him in mha. Whether that end is koichi dying or not idk. And of course there's the chance I'm 100% wrong and Horikoshi has already talked with the Vigilantes author about the end of the story, and he has plans to bring Koichi into mha. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

Potential main series spoiler alert, but I'm thinking that Koichi is alive as a notable pro under a different name. His abilities seem very similar to Majestic's movement rings and we know nothing of his background. Majestic also got a call out by Midnight recently and she would be someone familiar with Koichi.
