Cyber City Oedo 808;
File 2: Psychic Trooper
 
2808. Computerised crime proliferates in the neon ghettoes of the automated cyber cities. The Cyber Police combat this escalating crime rate by drafting high-tech criminals into the force. Failure to complete an assignment within the given time results in instant death - but successful missions reduce the convict's sentence.
File 2 focuses on the mohawked computer-hacker Gogul, a super-heavyweigth boxing champion with electronic eyes. Beaten to a criminal by an unidentified mechanical construct, he unearths a covert military operation to manufacture a cyborg killing machine: The Psychic Trooper. A fusion of human corpse and cyborg body the trooper combines super strength and mobility with devastating firepower. With their first prototype now ready, the SDF (Self-Defence Force) want to test its invincibility against a live target: Gogul. Lured to the test by his former partner, Gogul has no alternative but to face the mighty machine and fight to the death.
A 3-part OAV series, Cyber City Oedo 808 is a tense, futuristic thriller following the adventures of a three-man cyborg team in 29th century Tokyo.
