During the SEALs raid on Kagura's office, Umezaki pulls out a [[Lahti L-39]] anti-tank rifle, but is unable to use it due to the AH-1W's 20mm suppressive fire. In order to increase her firepower, she modifies the L-39 to accept a drum magazine and turns it into a makeshift heavy machine gun, which was considered reckless by the owner of the machine shop where she finished her modification. The English DVD incorrectly translated it as "Ratti machine gun".

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.
