**Episode 2: Nana** Six-year-old Neito asks his grandmother, Kimi Monoma, whom he calls Nana, why she takes care of him instead of his parents. Kimi remembers how she came into taking care of Neito: her daughter, Cécile, dropped Neito off on Kimi's porch because she and her partner had a daughter and did not want Neito anymore. Back in the present, Kimi tells Neito that his parents died in a car accident.

**Episode 10: C00L K1DS** Neito laments to his Nana that he wants to fit in with the popular kids, and Kimi tells him he is perfect just the way he is. Neito looks at himself in the mirror and imagines what else life could be like for him. Kimi, wanting to support her grandson, draws him a hero costume (the concept eventually becomes his official hero suit). Neito almost rips up the drawing, but then decides not to.

**Episode 12: SPECIAL: Nana's Quirk** In this special episode, Neito's grandmother Kimi's quirk is shown. She makes marbles that contain the DNA of whomever she touches and then places them in water for them to grow into a baby. In this episode, she is seen giving baby marbles to Aiko Shinsou, Endeavor (Enji Todoroki), and Narihana Kaminari. A few other tidbits of information are shown, including that Kimi's clients are often infertile and she makes a lot of money off of her business. Narihana also comes into Kimi's office to complain about her son, who was a marble baby. At the end, young Neito comments on Kimi's quirk, saying that it is boring, to which Kimi retorts that it isn't a toy.
