The sequel to Wax's Operation G Reloaded and the ending episode of the Operation G trilogy.
Fuushi Mashima is holding a fighting tournament in Stadium Alpha. Houka Honbuki, a rising star fighter, is entering said tournament with her teammates, Akina and Haruka Chinai. However, they quickly figure out that noone aside from tournament entrants is nearby. As Akina investigates, they quickly figure out something is wrong.
WARNING! This is chock-full of spoilers!
The ten Story Arcs are, in order:
- The Fuushi Saga
- The Stadium Alpha Tournament: The first tournament.
- The High Point Tour: Similarly to the original Operation G, a tournament located inside a skyscraper, and the number of contestants is lower, as there can only be one entrant per team, with the other serving as substitutes and strategists.
- The Izumi Saga
- The Roaring Stage: A tag team tournament fought in a linear stage.
- The Thunder Festival: A tournament with a different aesthetic, as it is hosted in an ancient-looking city.
- The Shakurou Saga
- The Stone Tower Tournament: A tournament fought in an old tower, with the finals being fought on the ceiling of the tower.
- The City on the Water: A tournament fought in a city inspired by Venice.
- The Kokujin Saga
- Barrier Alpha: The teams start to question the transitions in-between tournaments, as they remember little. Team Shinrei's attempt at forcing the railroading causes some distortion and the plot returns to Stadium Alpha.
- The Light Festival: Team Kokujin offers the truth to whoever reaches the finals of the tournament, reusing the tournament setting of the Thunder Festival.
- The Eiko Saga
- The Rebellion Arc: Eiko is exposed as the person responsible for the fake world. She sets herself up as the organizer of the next tournament, with Team Kokujin as normal entrants for the first time. The tournament goes way off the rails.
- The Free World Arc: Eiko lets the other characters have a glimpse of the world of Reloaded.
Operation G Free provides examples of:
- Affably Evil: Eiko is still the same Eiko from Reloaded, she's just a bit forceful and won't have any ending she doesn't like.
- Alternate Continuity: Ringoto is back despite having been killed in Reloaded along with many characters, including Houka, this one's main character. Eiko actually made a fake world where she is judging everyone, even beyond death.
- Alternate Timeline: Very particularly so. Eiko has stopped the flow of time for everything but this parallel world.
- Amazon Brigade: Houka's team is her, Akina and Haruka: all girls. Likewise, Team Haihan, formed with Frieda, Ibara and Houka-2.
- And Then John Was a Zombie: Fuushi has this realization midway through the series of tournaments: he is the one responsible for "staging all the mess". Eiko just didn't let him remember.
- Awful Truth: Only to the characters, but the fact that there's only two survivors to Reloaded, Fuushi and Eiko, is one to the characters here.
- Badass Family: There's even Teisou and Seichi teams based off of this.
- Bash Brothers: Played full force with almost any pair of brothers this time. Several teams were formed due to family ties, with Team Seichi and Team Teisou being shining examples. Except that Team Teisou's leader is Team Dad Ringoto.
- Big Bad: Eiko
- Blessed with Suck: This time, all transformations from the original are gone. All of them. The only power in place, shared by everyone, is an equally-powerful God Mode, but there are few actual changes.
- Book Ends: To change for Reloaded's Contrasting Sequel Main Character. This time, the main character is Houka again.
- Bully Hunter: In a certain light, this is Eiko's motivation, except her methods to do so is store the entire cast in a Pocket Dimension out of time and observe, and only allow those who turn better out of it.
- Call-Back: Few actual call-backs are made. There's a few long-runner teams, but even then the rosters are modified due to the teams changing and every single person present participating in tournaments.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: Many characters are insanely strong because they trained for it. Hilbert is the local patron saint of this as it is is fighting style. Houka is the only girl sporting this.
- Clone Army: Played with as noone other than tournament entrants even exists but there's one team full of clones called Team Haihan.
- Dark Messiah: Eiko has gone down to this.
- Death Is Cheap: Once again, everyone comes back.
- Death Is the Only Option: Some characters (those that feel disliked by Eiko, mostly) think this of her new world. Theodor sends a message by staging a mass suicide attempt. Even though it doesn't stick.
- Divine Date: Despite all the mess she caused, Eiko still loves Shakurou as in the original Operation G timeline.
- Dream Match Game: The story equivalent. Considering it does involve bringing people back from the dead for a tournament.
- Dueling Messiahs: Theophanie tries to break this Alternate Universe to liberate everybody, clashing with Eiko who created the fake world in her attempts to free the nicer ones.
- Elite Mooks: The 3 Eiko "sub-units" that she uses for self-defense. Each of them is able to fend off an entire team.
- Epiphanic Prison: The entire world in this.
- Everybody Lives: Eiko has decided this as the ending, so even attempts to suicide don't work.
- Gone Horribly Right: In retrospect, the original Operation G. Eiko is playing with the God Tropes far too much.
- Grand Finale
- Heel–Face Return: Lots. The most glaring is Ringoto.
- Kick the Dog: Eiko making everyone unable to die counts as this to all those who went through with Theodor's mass suicide gambit.
- Lighter and Softer: Each character's individual personality. Once again, for good reason: Eiko decided so.
- It's not limited to personalities: characters do start dying at one point, but it doesn't stick.
- Lotus-Eater Machine
- Me's a Crowd: There's three Eikos running around on top of the actual one.
- Nebulous Evil Organization: None this time. There's no organization aside from the tournaments.
- Not Me This Time: As everyone remembers Ringoto and Mashin, they get accused of being responsible for the alternate world. Turns out they aren't and they have to say it.
- Not Just a Tournament: Averted this time. The fact that it's really just a tournament (with no background whatsoever) sparks out the realization of a problem existing.
- Numbered Sequels: The title is a play on this, being a butchering of "Operation G III". It also hints at the nature of this: it is entirely free of background or reason. Also, freedom is explored as depriving the other characters of their freedom is the reason Eiko is treated as the main villain.
- Poor Communication Kills: So much. Eiko does not even let Fuushi know of her plans.
- Power Creep, Power Seep: Invoked. Eiko let everyone hit God Mode, giving everyone powers on par with Ringoto and Mashin.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: Team Kokujin, with emphasis on boss squad as they are the bosses of each tournament. Hell, Fuushi proves he's a boss when he's called out by Akina: he proceeds to defeat Team Shinrei (Akina, Haruka and Houka) all by himself.
- The Rival: Houka-2 now has this approach to Houka rather than trying to attack her on-sight (Reloaded), or kill her just because she exists (Operation G). She outright announces herself as such, and the Final Boss of the tournament.
- Rule of Three: Teams are made of three members, with nobody serving as a backseat coach.
- So Last Season: Once again, the rosters rotated, and almost every character leveled up in power.
- Super Mode: Everyone has God Mode.
- Took a Level in Badass: Houka remained weak throughout the original Operation G, and that stayed through Reloaded. This time, as shown by her going God Mode for a spar which is the first fight, she's done being weak. It's not limited to her, as everyone got to levels of power alike to Fuushi, Eiko's second-in-command.
- Tournament Arc: A long series of them.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Eiko and Theophanie. Eiko forced everyone into an alternate reality even beyond death to make everyone nicer. Theophanie wants to break this world to discover the one beyond, unaware that she was actually dead.
- World Limited to the Plot
