Geobreeders: Difference between revisions
Geobreeders (1998) and Geobreeders: Breakthrough (2000) are two OVA series based on Akihiro Ito's on-going manga of the same name. The story depicts members of Kagura Total Security as they fight against the Phantom Cats. Kagura's main business rival is the Hound, a secret government paramilitary organization under the control of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (since pest and animal control are part of the Ministry's mandates).
Phantom Cats are mystical beings capable of taking both human and feline forms as well as manipulating all form of electronic signals. This ability makes the cats master of information manipulation. Physical attack against the cats in human form will not permanently harm them as the cats have the ability to regenerate in human form. The Hound's equipped with special EM field generators that, when deployed, can neutralized Phantom Cats' abilities such as regeneration or escape through telephone lines. In order to eradicate them, Cats needs to be "sealed" using specially designed tags or other devices.
The OVA storylines are considered canon and are incorporated into the main manga story.

Indigo Shooting Star uses a Sterling Patchett Suppressed version submachine gun when attacking Kagura's van on the freeway in Breakthrough. When she runs out of ammo, she simply discards the Sterling and picks up another.
The old man who takes the Kagura crew in during Breakthrough keeps a stash of Soviet weapons under his living room tatami, which include at least two PPSh-41 submachine guns. Kagura company president Yuka Kikushima uses one during the fire fight.
