It's an adaptation of a flashback of the second arc, it reveals how he got his scar.

You can watch it even if you didn't watch the first arc.

You can, but it'll probably lack a lot of emotional depth for you.

^What this guy says.

Come to think of it, I probably need to rewatch it (it's been years lol).

Moved from Anime Discussion

While this story was also shown in the television series, the OVA did it better from my perspective. It was much more theatrical with a lot better animation, and the story itself was slightly tweaked to feel a lot more dramatic, which I think worked better to create an isolated tale as opposed to something that served as a quick flashback that then transitioned back into the present-day of the main series. I'd say it would be worthwhile to watch the television series first then watch the OVA afterwards, but that's just me.
