Goku Midnight Eye is a {{Cyberpunk}} manga series by Buichi Terasawa. It ran from 1987 to 1989 and received a pair of OVA by Creator/{{Madhouse}} under the direction of Creator/YoshiakiKawajiri. It takes some superficial inspiration from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.

* PsychicAssistedSuicide: The peacock assassin kills in this fashion, taking control of their minds and forcing them to kill themselves.

* {{Expy}}: Down to his wise-cracking, womanizing personality and hair style, Goku is pretty much [[Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra Cobra]].

In the faraway year 2014, private eye and former cop Goku Furinji has a bad night. He is investigating a number of suicides of police officers when he encounters the person responsible for those suicides, a mysterious woman who promptly ensnares him in her hypnotic trap, and the only way to survive is to stab his own eye out. Fortunately for him, he wakes up fitted with a cybernetic implant that allows him to access nearly every computer on Earth and the Sun Wu Kong rod, a multipurpose weapon that can extend to quite a length. Now turned into the most powerful man in the world, Goku resumes the investigation only to find out it falls deeper into the net of underground rulers.

* FemmeFatale: Naturally, being a cyberpunk work, Goku encounters a few, among them the peacock assassin with the hypno-tail.
* FullFrontalAssault: The peacock woman goes around in only panties, possibly for extra hypnosis.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The midget assassin is killed by his own gynoid when it blasts him through the head with a laser.

* MindOverMatter: The villain of the second OVA has telekinesis.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: As said above, Goku doesn't wear a shirt on his suit, yet nobody points this out. Apparently, either future fashion is that weird or Goku has a pass because he is a hunk.

* InstantExpert: At least in the OVA, Goku masters the Sun Wu Kong rod offscreen and apparently quite fast. One can almost forget he is supposed to be a detective and not a pole vaulting champion when watching him RoofHopping with the damn thing.
