Wow this is definitely the best episode so far. It was a little surprising that even Black Jack had trouble with this illness, but not everything can go smoothly as you want. Dr. Kiriko (or 'Mozart') is also a really interesting character who I look forward to seeing more of in future episodes.

A good episode indeed. Black Jack presents some really interesting characters. It's a shame so few people seem to have watched this show though.

Yes! He finally saved one!

God that disease is up there on the worst of all time scale, glad she pulled through.

The disease is terrible as it is, add fictional parasites and things become even crazier. I was suspecting something when they buried that dog, didn't think about biological weapons though.

Another great episode and it's always good to see more of Dr.Kiriko. Interesting to see that he didn't try to send her on a "peaceful" death but instead let Black Jack do his thing this time.

The patient story, the disease and its mystery cause were all pretty good, leading to my favourite OAV in the series (the first one not far away).

5/5

"the little village of Angers" XD I know it isn't the real city of Angers but it was weird hearing that.

Funny how after 20 years, Anorexia is still a thing for women
Especially models and actresses
They ate and immediately vomited what they ate

Doctor Kiriko "Mozart" is weird, he was supposed to be a rival & nemesis to Black Jack
But he helped him, I guess he's not a bad guy
Only his views of "saving" patients are different

Oh god, a parasite that can mimic
Thankfully not exist in real life.. not yet :P

This time Black Jack successfully keep the patient safe and sound till the end
No one died this time!

Amazing episode. My favorite thus far. Really did well showing how a fictional pathology can still be very realistic (Saying this mainly because of the previous espisodes). Never doubt Dezaki in delivering the best.
