This two-episode OVA extends the Diamond no Ace: Second Season story as a manga tie-in, released alongside two Act II volumes. The first episode follows Seidou High's baseball team through an off-season stretch the main series skips, while the second checks in on pitcher Eijun Sawamura's teammates as the story heads into Act II. Bundled rather than broadcast, it fills the gap between the TV season and the ongoing manga.

Bundled with the Blu-ray volumes of Mob Psycho 100, these short specials pull Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama and his mentor Reigen Arataka away from psychic battles for quick comedic bits rendered in retro 8-bit pixel art instead of the usual animation. Nothing here advances the story between Mob and the Claw organization: these are downtime gags with the same cast, styled like an old video game.

His constant companion Ohta drags him through the same listless school routine: napping in class, dodging gym, doing anything at all with the least effort possible, while classmates like Miyano and Shiraishi occasionally get pulled into the joke. Nothing here builds on the main series' story; the shorts are gags run at blink length with the same cast.
