Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This OVA dropped during the anime's post-time skip filler era, explaining its standalone 'what if' tournament structure with no canon stakes.
The 'jounin vs. genin' premise directly mirrors the original Team 7 bell test dynamic, making this essentially a 26-minute callback to Naruto's own origin story.
