The calm before the storm is officially over. Just when you thought the Naruhata crew might catch a break with a fun idol performance and a heartfelt farewell party for the West’s #1 favorite foreign hero, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 Episode 10 pulls the rug right out from under us. If you’ve been keeping up with the release schedule, you knew this moment was coming—the Sky Egg arc is finally here, and it’s bringing the chaos.
Episode 10 dropped on March 9, 2026 , and let me tell you, this isn’t just another street-level scuffle. This is the moment where the underground world of vigilantes crashes headfirst into the glitzy, high-stakes realm of professional heroes. The Tokyo Sky Egg—the venue for Captain Celebrity’s grand farewell concert—becomes ground zero for a terrorist attack masterminded by the sinister Scarred Man (aka Number 6). And caught in the middle? Our favorite trio, a stage full of aspiring idols, and a Captain Celebrity who is about to face a crisis that forces him to choose between his image and thousands of innocent lives.
Spoiler Warning: Light spoilers for Episode 10 and general vibes from the Sky Egg Arc ahead!
Captain Celebrity’s Worst Nightmare Begins
Let’s talk about the elephant—or should I say, the flying tank—in the room. Captain Celebrity has spent this entire season (and the last) as this almost comically invincible figure. Sure, he’s vain, obsessed with his image, and constantly dodging his adoring (and terrifying) fan club, but his Quirk, Flight, essentially makes him a one-man army. He’s strong, he’s unstoppable, and he knows it.
That overconfidence becomes his biggest liability in Episode 10.
As the festivities kick off at the Sky Egg—complete with Pop☆Step getting the opportunity to perform on a massive stage alongside real Pros like Edgeshot and The Wild Wild Pussycats—the Scarred Man unleashes his new weapons: the Bombers . These aren’t your run-of-the-mill thugs; they are monstrous, destructive creatures designed for one purpose: to cause maximum damage.
And damage they cause. The attack isn’t just about fighting heroes; it’s about structural sabotage. The Bombers begin tearing apart the Sky Egg itself, putting everyone inside at risk of a catastrophic collapse .
This is where Captain Celebrity’s crisis hits. To save the 200,000+ people in the building, he can’t afford to fight back. He has to use his immense strength to literally hold the building together. He becomes a sitting duck—a human pillar trapped by his own sense of duty, unable to defend himself from the Bombers swarming around him . Watching a hero who usually dominates the battlefield be reduced to a stationary target is genuinely tense. It’s a brilliant narrative choice that strips him of his agency and forces him to rely on others for once.
The Pro Heroes Assemble: Edgeshot and Best Jeanist Step Up
While Captain Celebrity is stuck holding up the roof, the other Pros waste no time jumping into action. This episode gives us a delightful taste of the top heroes doing what they do best.
Edgeshot, the Ninja Hero, is an absolute standout. He’s not just there for show; he’s tactical, precise, and lethally effective. We see him coordinate with Best Jeanist to take down the Bombers plaguing Captain Celebrity. In a moment of pure anime cool, Edgeshot uses his Foldabody Quirk to pierce through a Bomber, allowing Best Jeanist to restrain it with his Fiber Master . It’s a seamless combo that shows why these two are top-ranked Pros.
The episode does a fantastic job of balancing the raw power of these established heroes with the scrappy resourcefulness of our vigilantes. While the Pros handle the large-scale monster threat, it’s clear that Koichi and the others are going to have to navigate the human chaos unfolding inside. There’s a great moment where Edgeshot checks on a battered Captain Celebrity, acknowledging the sacrifice he’s making . It’s a subtle nod of respect that adds depth to both characters.
The Real Horror Behind the Bees
If the Sky Egg disaster provides the blockbuster action, the B-plot of this episode reminds us why Vigilantes shines brightest when it gets dark. We cut back to the ongoing hunt for Hachisuka, the Bee Girl, and the revelations are… unsettling, to say the least.
This episode confirms that Hachisuka is operating far beyond simple villainy. We get a glimpse into her twisted modus operandi: she infiltrates households, incapacitates the adults with her bees, and essentially squats in their homes while they are either dead or completely catatonic . The image of her laughing while sitting next to the corpse of a man she called “father” is the kind of chilling visual that sticks with you long after the credits roll .
The forum discussions are buzzing (pun intended) with theories, and it’s easy to see why. Is Hachisuka the one in control, or is she just a vessel for the queen bee lurking behind her eyepatch? The episode leans heavily into the body horror aspect, implying that she stores her bees in her false eye and uses them to implant and control others . This isn’t just a street-level thug; this is a parasite-level threat.
Meanwhile, Knuckleduster’s quest becomes more tragic. We finally see the source of his obsession: his wife, lying in a hospital bed, unresponsive, her condition worsening . The flashback confirms that Knuckleduster found her collapsed, bees swarming around her, with Hachisuka standing over her. This is deeply personal. He’s not just looking for a villain; he’s hunting the creature that destroyed his family. His training montage—where he obliterates a punching bag while staring at an old photo of Hachisuka—is raw, angry, and sets the stage for what promises to be an explosive confrontation .
Pop’s Big Break and Koichi’s Clueless Charm
Amidst all the impending doom, we can’t forget our main trio. The episode takes a necessary beat to focus on Pop☆Step’s dream. She’s been offered a chance to sing at the department store event, which Makoto—in her typical overachieving style—escalates into a massive indie festival featuring Captain Celebrity himself .
This subplot serves two purposes. First, it gives Pop a moment to shine and grow as a character, pushing past her fear of failure. Second, it hilariously highlights Koichi’s social obliviousness. When Pop comes to him for advice and emotional support, the guy is a total blank slate . He means well, but his complete inability to read the room or offer any sort of comforting words is both frustrating and endearing. It’s a classic Koichi moment that reminds us he’s still just a college kid trying his best, even if his best involves sliding across walls at night.
This lighthearted setup is the perfect calm before the storm. We know, and the characters suspect, that Hachisuka is planning to crash the party. Knuckleduster is already stalking her from the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike . The stage is literally set for all these threads—the Pro Hero spectacle, Pop’s idol debut, and Knuckleduster’s bloody revenge—to collide in the worst way possible.

Final Thoughts: The Calm Before the Collapse
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 Episode 10 is a masterclass in tension-building. It successfully juggles three distinct tones: the high-octane disaster movie at the Sky Egg, the psychological horror of Hachisuka’s lair, and the earnest slice-of-life charm of Pop preparing for her concert.
While some reviewers have critiqued the show for occasionally losing focus, this episode manages to weave its threads together effectively, all pointing toward an inevitable, chaotic convergence . The Sky Egg disaster is just beginning, and with Number 6 pulling the strings, things are about to get much, much worse for everyone involved—especially a defenseless Captain Celebrity.
