Yet another fantastic episode, but I must wonder why the hell they didn't arrest Black Jack right there?

Same here. How the hell did he get away with punching the other guy (whatever he was called)?

Only Black Jack can remove a cancerous tumor in the field using only moonlight as ilummination. LOL

Yeah his doctor skills are unmatched, and yet it changed nothing. The public will never know, pretty tragic. There's no way Black Jack would kill him.

So far, I haven't been watching anime episodes, but entire films. The direction the OVA seems to take is no matter how skilled Black Jack is, complications surrounding each case challenge not his skills as a doctor, but his moralities and his neutral stance during cases. I'm seriously enjoying this so far.

That is why that population of Japan is languishing like this. They make a tremendous effort to haven't sex.

A tumor ablatio under the moonlight, how romantic !

4/5 It would be great if not all women weren't hunting the hero so hard.

Maria is a badass

Should have kill that hat lackey American guy
I mean doctor shouldn't kill, but still that guy is so despicable
Ordering to kill people, anyone can do that, they should do it themself

I hate it when he's trying to save people only to see them die in front of him :(

My best guess is that they recognized BJ as a neutral party, and since their leader only seems concerned with exerting political power, a rogue doctor who punched him for seemingly personal reasons is probably the least of their concern. BJ just got lucky.

Haha yeah, that seems to be a recurring theme so far. All the women are throwing themselves at BJ's feet and he's just like, "Lol, no thanks." I just hope this doesn't happen every episode like the first three. Male-female relationships that aren't romantically motivated are hard to find in a lot of media. :/

this show has been really great at not giving happy endings, the stories it tells have so much more impact because of this. cruz getting shot down while climbing the border was deep as fuck

I love the shot with the brush torn off in flames. It's so symbolic!

It's amazing how Jack gets out of any situation unscathed. Let's write on the conventions of anime ...

O episódio todo é uma romantização de comunistas contra o EUA. E este ainda é o primeiro episódio em que o Black Jack ameaça a vida de alguém, provavelmente, em pró da ideologia de quem cuidou deste episódio.

Interesting episode... but honestly the weakest one yet? No resolve, bunch of stuff made no sense, not to mention its probably referencing the Middle east? America? Mexico? Former USSR and its former states??? Overall the episode was all over the place and meh

Two episodes in a row that are latinamerica-adjacent, I'm quite surprised, we're usually more on the ignored side


These storeis so far all have been on the anime-original side no? I wonder who's the one that thinks up these scenarios



I'm quite suprised how much of an emotional impact Maria seemed to have on BJ - suspended bridge effect? or was she genuinely his type?
