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 Hound, a secret government paramilitary organization under the control of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Phantom cats are mystical beings capable of taking both human and feline forms as well as manipulating all form of eletronic signals. This ability makes the cats master of information manipulation. Physical attack against the cats in human form will not permanenetly harm them as the cats have the ability to regenerate in human form. Hound's specially designed EM field generators, 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.

SEAL operators disguised as mailman, delivery man and vegetable salesman attacked Kagura's office with MP5K PDW. The PDW stocks are removed for better concealment.
Indigo Shooting Star used Sterling SMG when attacking Kagura's van on the freeway in Breakthrough. When she ran out of ammo, she simply discarded the Sterling and picked up another.
The old man who took the Kagura crew in during Breakthrough had a secret stash of Soviet weapons under his living room tatami, which include at least two PPSh-41 submachine gun. Kagura company president Yuka Kikushima used one during the fire fight.
During the fire fight in the old man's house, Indigo Shooting Star's primary weapon switched from a M4A1 to a M16A1, also fitted with a M203 grenade launcher.
Hound's V-22 Osprey is armed with GE M134 minigun. During the attack on the DDK building, the M134 was used to destroy the water tanks on top of the building to stop the sprinkler system.
A Browning M2 heavy machine gun is seen mounted on top of the turret a JGSDF Type 90 tank stolen by the Cats. Hound also deployed M2 on their personnel transport (disguised as garbage trucks) during the attack on the DDK building.
Indigo Shooting Star used a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle in her first attempt to take out Umezaki, intentionally shooting Umezaki's hat off and rupturing the gas line of Kagura's office. The ruptured gas line caused an explosion when Himehagi lit a cigarette.
During the SEALs raid on Kagura's office, Umezaki took out a Lahti L-39 anti-tank rifle, but was unable to use it due to the AH-1W's 20mm supressive fire. In order to increase her firepower, she modified the L-39 to accept a drum magazine and turned it into a 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".
In a final attempt to kill Umezaki, Indigo Shooting Star used a NTW-20 anti-material rifle to shoot the nature gas pipe line near the hot spring where Umezaki was taking a bath. The gas was once again ignited by Himehagi's cigarette.
A disguised USMC AH-1W Super Cobra fired its M197 20mm gun to cover the SEAL team's extraction. It was referred to as "20mm Vulcan" by Umezaki and Eiko Rando. However, in the US DVD release, it was incorrectly translated as "20mm Balkan".
USMC AV-8B Harriers IIs were armed with GAU-12 25mm gun pods. A Harrier hijacked by the Cats were used to shoot down two other Harriers and strafed the Hounds.
Hound uses modified HK69 grenade launcher to fire special grenade that would allow them to seal the Phantom Cats. HK69s are also used to fire smoke grenades.
During the assault on the Russian cargo ship, Umezaki fired several HE grenades from her Milkor MGL launcher, but failed to breach the hull of the ship.
A RPG-7 can be seen in Umezaki's office locker, but it was destroyed by the AH-1W's 20mm fire before it could be used. Several Phantom Cats were armed with RPG-7s during the attack on the DDK building.
