Black Jack

Black Jack

Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' life (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.

Black Jack and Pinoco go to a middle eastern town after leaving the damaged Sky Hospital. While there, Black Jack is arrested and accused of murder. He is cleared of the charges thanks to a Japanese businessman named Aritani. Black Jack makes an agreement with Aritani, saying that he would repay the favor. Later, Aritani is convinced to take the fall for his company which was funneling money illegally. After claiming to be responsible for the dirty play, Aritani is thrown in front of a train in an assassination attempt disguised as a murder. Desperate to save Aritani's life, Black Jack uses some of his savings to buy out the hospital Aritani was being kept at after he inspires the proper owner with his determination. Black Jack saves Aritani and receives his first real lead on the group after his life.
