It’s very possible that AFO simply got really weird over Nana being a woman, the only female OFA holder. But I maintain that going after her bloodline down to her grandson to turn him into his successor is more than just working out his weird mother issues. Maybe he actually loved her in some way, since he’s a human being not a mythical creature, and maybe he sublimated that into being weird about Nana specifically. But I keep coming back to how Nana felt like she had no choice but to completely cut ties with her son, a decision which clearly tore her heart out. If she was THAT scared of AFO hurting her children she wouldn’t have had any to begin with and used it as motivation to defeat him before getting pregnant. But she got pregnant anyway, fully knowing AFO was at large and gunning for her as the holder of OFA. Why would she do that? This is just speculation, but I believe that it’s because before that point there was no indication that AFO would hurt her children. It’s not his style. For example, why did the adults put so many UA students on the front line facing AFO in the final war? Because, the students were more-or-less safe from AFO; sure he might scare them but deep down, All-Might, Eraser Head and the other faculty from that era didn’t think AFO would harm kids. And they’re right, because AFO didn’t actually hurt any of the students, even though he could have slaughtered them. All-Mighty and the rest know him not as Satan, but as a chuuni old man who’s dedicated to his larp, someone who wants to turn the world into his vision of a comic book. He’s not normally a hardcore killer, so the UA adults sort of just “trust” that he won’t kill the students. So then WHY was Nana so terrified of her son being targeted? Because I think AFO must have lost his mind at finding out about Nana having children, and lashed out savagely, wary beyond his normal behavior, and Nana got spooked.
