What Is The Stendhal Arc in MHA Vigilantes?

Stendhal in the Vigilantes anime - My Hero Academia

This and the next sections contain spoilers for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.

The Stendhal Arc is the second arc of the story, but it is a short one, lasting from Chapter 9 to Chapter 11. It introduces a new Vigilante called Stendhal, who initially helps the Naruhata team a lot. However, Stendhal has some deadly convictions that make things go wild.

In fact, My Hero Academia fans will soon realize that they already know Stendhal from the series, but he has taken on a new identity and goes by a different name in the original story.

Who Is Queen Bee In Vigilantes?

Queen Bee is actually the name of Kuin Hachisuka's Quirk in the story, but she also takes that name as her identity. Hachisuka is a part-time Villain who was introduced in Episode 3. Her Quirk allows her to send numerous bees to gather information or transport substances — she uses them to infect people with Trigger. She is also able to control hosts with her ability.

Actually, Hachisuka is able to control a major character and a relative of another major character with her Quirk, but that will be properly revealed later in the series (perhaps in Season 2). While she is not the main Villain, she is one of the most important and memorable antagonists in the series.

My Hero Academia is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed in many languages.
