Such a sad back story on Young Toshinori and Nana's last moment's/fight with AFO But damn this was a good back story! It Ties in well to explane why Toshinori went to America after the UA.
But Man is All For One even more menacing and scary looking with his face intact!

I have to love that All Might says he thought of Nana as a mother. It truly reminds me of Deku, and how he probably thinks of All Might as a father figure.

Of course it's only 3 minutes, it was adapted from a bonus chapter from Volume 0 (a special movie tie-in volume) and was like half a chapter long.

There's a reason they released this OVA alongside the film's DVD/Blu-Ray release as a bundle. They're meant to be watched together, starting with the OVA, then the Two Heroes movie. :P

What a waste!

It should've been long enough in order to build that Nana Shimura scene.

Consider it PV more than anything.

Short but enticing nevertheless!

Really cool short, I really wish they’d just make an episode or at least a half-episode, with some Original additions making up to 12 minutes runtime or so, but this managed to get the point across brilliantly so no biggies. I could tell that All Might’s master would pass away in such a way, dying to protect All Might or so, but it still hit me even knowing this would come. All For One is creepy as ever, “Thanks for the Comedy!” and then that trademark wicked laughter, jeez. As expected, All Might’s homeroom teacher was ruthless but good thing he suggested All Might to fly overseas, no wonder that played a big role in making him the world’s Symbol of Peace.

I hope the 4th Season will touch on this matter too and hopefully elaborate on it however the circumstance then demands it to. Eagerly looking forward to the much anticipated 4th Season now! Plus Ultra!

Really short yet powerful. However, I wish it would have lasted 12 minutes at least but well.

All Might saying he considers Nana as a mother was quite emotional. It really makes me wanting to see Deku saying something similar at some point since All Might is mostly like a father for him too.

I didn't think it was going to be such an impactful special (mainly for its duration...), but I'm glad it surprised me in a good way.

Poor Toshinori, to lose Nana (his mother figure) in such a way, but I'm happy that he could honour her by becoming the "Symbol of Peace".

I feel like they could have done so much more with just another 60 seconds or so. I feel like it was too short to feel very impactful at all in any meaningful way.

It was indeed a bit short. Still managed to be poignant yet also encouraging since we're already familiar with the characters.

Good stuff.

More of this please, I would have sat through a two hours content of what this came from, but I guess we can only get this much information on a canon plot line.

It's unfortunate that the episode wasn't longer. Still, though it was quite impactful and I liked it.

Can't believe I skipped this . It's so important for the plot. Prediction.

Nana died to save All might from All 4 one. AND THEN following the same pattern All Might will die to save Deku from Shigaraki.

Hopefully it doesn't come true

So Gran Torino sent All Might to America to keep him away from All For One until he had achieved mastery of One For All. I always wondered how he ended up there.

It just makes me wonder more about Toshinori's backstory, though. He was given All For One as a middle schooler according to one of the openings, so he probably only knew his master for 3-4 years. I'm sure we'll learn the rest eventually.

It was interesting to see All Might in his younger days. We also got to see his master, Nana.

I'll be watching the movie next.

What is up with these OVAs, why are they all so good lol. I like seeing All Might put up his hair and practicing smiling so he can be the symbol of peace for Japan one day.
