OVA
Description
Leona Ozaki, a Japanese Buddhist police officer, transitioned from Osaka’s Women’s Motorcycle Police Unit to Newport City’s Tank Police division, sparking friction with squad leader Charles Brenten over her gender and perceived incompatibility with the unit’s aggressive tactics. A botched high-speed pursuit of criminal Buaku led her to inadvertently destroy Brenten’s prized Tiger Special tank, nearly costing her position. Refusing defeat, she repurposed the wreckage into Bonaparte, a nimble mini-tank optimized for speed and resilience. This invention cemented her place in the Tank Police despite frequent reprimands for collateral damage caused by her fervent tactics.
Bonaparte’s unmatched agility in combat became both her signature and fixation; she reacted fiercely to even superficial damage, straining her partnership with co-pilot Al’Cuad Solte, whose quiet affection she overlooked. Though ruthlessly efficient in confronting criminals—employing a MAC-10’s spray-and-pray brutality and wrestling-inspired takedowns—she revealed flickers of vulnerability, notably when Al risked his life shielding her.
Her mechanical aptitude, described as evoking a “tingly” sensation, predated her tank career. While relentless against lawbreakers, she pursued cases like Smart-Ball’s lethal matches to shield civilians. Over time, she evolved from a brash recruit to a seasoned officer, with manga iterations hinting at slightly warmer receptions to Al’s advances than her anime counterpart.
In *New Dominion Tank Police*, Bonaparte’s destruction led to a successor model tailored to her specifications. Later continuities like *Conflict One: No More Noise* recontextualized her role as Newport’s pollution cleared and the Tank Police formalized, standardizing Bonaparte’s design. Her clashes with adversaries—android catgirl assassins the Puma Sisters, cunning Buaku—balanced tactical patience with unyielding resolve, once permitting Buaku’s escape to dismantle his network strategically. Brenten’s eventual recognition of her skill marked her quiet reshaping of the unit’s machismo culture, proving competence over confrontation.
