I saw your image in the flower that is blossoming sorrowfully
I love rain, yet it felt frosty today
The season changed, the forest was colored,
The wind played a tune, memories gushed out
Gather the pieces of the moon, decorate the dream, and sleep
Even if I sprinkle the sand of time, I cannot return to the past
Those searching for the meaning of life are all travellers
I set my course on this endless journey
for the place beyond the thorny path....
The artist of life who produces miracles through his godlike scalpel skills.
The genius surgeon whom the era has yearned for.
Black Jack.
Your tongue is pale.
Does food not taste good to you?
You must be a picky eater then.
Oh! Huh?! Yucky!
What are you doing, Gonta?!
Me?
Didn't you do it?!
Gonta, I'll move you to the back of the line!
Um, Doctor,
you aren't as pretty when you're mad.
Yeah, yeah!
Shush!
Hey! Don't run!
Dr. Shimizu, you have a guest from the mainland.
From the mainland?
Who is it?
Pouring Rain, then Love
Originally by Tezuka Osamu "Pouring Rain"
Um...
Are you Mr. Shimizu Ikuo's sister?
Yes, but my brother died.
I just heard the news.
This was where he was buried under a mudslide?
I'm sorry to hear that.
He was the school doctor here.
He was trying to rescue a kid right here when he became a victim of the disaster.
It was about a year ago.
So, how did you know my brother?
My tools were stolen when I was on an official visit overseas.
I was devastated that I couldn't operate on a patient.
The man who gave me the scalpel that saved that man's life was Dr. Shimizu.
Because of that scalpel, I was able to save a man's precious life.
"The Shimizu Family Sleeps Here"
This is to thank him for that time.
A scalpel?
This isn't an ordinary scalpel.
It's very dear to me.
I even spent a lot of money by asking a well-known smith to sharpen it.
It's a very special scalpel.
I wanted Dr. Shimizu to try it.
I'm sure he'd appreciate your intentions.
Besides, my brother is gone now.
Then you can use it.
You're a doctor too, correct?
Thank you, but I practice internal medicine, so I don't use scalpels.
But it should come in useful someday.
I will not ever perform surgery.
Please take it back.
This is your treasure, right?
My brother handled both the duties at school and the village clinic.
I came here to help my brother.
But now I handle both of them.
Bye, Doctor!
Goodbye.
When does the next ferry leave?
The next ferry?
I think...
Doc, you're late.
You said you'd be right back!
Missy.
What are you waiting for, Missy?
The ferry won't be coming tonight, because of the storm.
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, Doc?
If there isn't a ferry, use an airplane!
There are no airplanes?
Then I will...
Hello?
Isn't it a small island?
Just like my home.
So, did you consider working for a clinic in a bigger town?
I loved my brother,
so I wanted to help him.
But you've remained on this island even after his death.
Well, I have nowhere else to go.
So it grew on you?
Yes.
It really is too bad that Dr. Shimizu is gone.
We promised to have a drink together when we met the next time.
Yes, he was a skilled doctor.
By the way, I haven't asked you for your name yet.
I am Shimizu Kiyomi.
I'm Black Jack.
Dr. Shimizu!
Our little Masashi just vomited and is rolling around in pain!
Is it food poisoning?
I'll be right over.
Dr. Shimizu!
Right after my kid told me his head hurt, he started vomiting!
Yours too?
Does he have a fever?
Doctor, my Ayako is...
Doctor, both my wife and kid are vomiting!
They won't stop!
It must be food poisoning.
Dr. Black Jack.
Doctor,
I'm sorry, but is looks like there is a mass outbreak of food poisoning.
Would you please help me?
A mass outbreak of food poisoning?
Yes. I must go tend to twenty or thirty people.
Would you help me?
Food poisoning is handled by internists.
I'm a surgeon.
But Doctor, it's an emergency!
This isn't the time to argue about one's specialty!
Anyway, I shouldn't be involved in it.
Doctor, aren't you going to help me?
My job is to flash scalpels around.
And yours is internal medicine.
You said so yourself.
Fine, then!
Let's go.
I'll visit them all by myself.
I can't believe his attitude!
All the kids who bought and ate the food that came on the last ferry must be getting sick.
Doctor, what should we do?
Keep him rested and also make sure he's warm.
If his diarrhea persists, give him some warm water or tea to drink.
You feel dizzy?
Then let's try this.
Please come to the clinic if his condition worsens.
I'm really understaffed.
But he is so...
Oh, Mr. Principal.
Oh, Dr. Shimizu.
What a disaster this is!
And you're the only doctor around.
Actually, there is one more,
but he's useless.
There are more patients over there, so excuse me.
Thank you!
I won't play tricks anymore.
Gonta, show me your usual energy.
You'll get well soon.
Come on, Gonta.
The school principal fell off a cliff.
He's been seriously injured.
When?!
I just passed him on my bicycle.
Looks like a strong gust hit his bicycle.
He has serious internal bleeding,
and there's a chance some of his internal organs have ruptured.
There were strong winds tonight on top of the epidemic in the town.
I thought there was a good chance someone might be injured.
You stayed at the clinic, just in case?
That's right.
The roads here are bad, and it's dark, so I thought maybe I should stay here.
Did the food poisoning affect their vision?
Or did they have any problems speaking?
No, there were no signs of nervous system abnormalities.
Then it must be just regular food poisoning.
Botulism would have been bad.
Everyone should be fine after a couple days.
Now, it's my turn.
You should go get some rest.
You have to work tomorrow.
No, I'll help.
This is a job for a surgeon.
Then I'll help disinfect.
What an amazing sharpness...
So this is the scalpel?
As I thought, there is a tear in the ileum.
A rock must have punctured it when he fell.
He's so dexterous.
He's wonderful.
Looks like he's fine now.
Is it true the principal was seriously injured?
Yes.
But a surgeon operated on him, so he's fine now.
Did the replacement for your brother come?
No,
but he is better than my brother was.
You've been stuck on this tiny island for so long.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Since you have to wait, I'll fix you something good to eat.
Then I would like some rice and tea.
Ochazuke?
Do you like that?
Yes.
Then for tomorrow, would you like...
Ochazuke.
If there's no ferry until the day of tomorrow...
Ochazuke.
This is so mean.
Would you try my real cooking at least once?
Someday.
Doctor!
Dr. Kiyomi!
Oh, Dr. Crazy Quilt, you're still around.
Don't talk to him like that!
The mayor is asking you to comment on the completion of the new auditorium.
Why do you have patches?
Stop that!
How rude!
For a certain reason, someone else's skin was transplanted onto me.
Do you think all of my skin should be the same color?
Definitely!
Then it will look good when you marry a beautiful woman like Dr. Kiyomi.
Quit talking nonsense and go back immediately!
The ferry isn't coming today again?
A tropical storm?
Does there happen to be a good-looking female doctor there?
And is she feeding you ochazuke or something?
Remember, don't cheat on me!
Cheat?
I can tell!
What?
Nothing.
I am proud to have an auditorium for this small school as grand as the ones in Tokyo.
Doctor, please say a few words.
But...
Don't be so bashful.
OK.
I am Shimizu from the clinic.
This is a very nice auditorium.
But wasn't there something else we should have done before building a new auditorium?
I believe we should have reinforced the cliff behind the school instead.
With this torrential rain, the soil might be loosening and there could be another disaster soon.
We could have more victims like my brother.
People of this village and our esteemed officials,
I ask you to work on the cliff, not this auditorium!
What's the matter?
Why do I feel so calm when I'm with him?
Why can I cry so openly around him?
I haven't felt so relaxed since I lost my brother.
It's...
Right, it's...
Why haven't you gotten married?
I'm just a hooligan.
I am the stink of the medical professionals.
I can't possibly get married.
But you perform such wonderful surgeries.
You're even more wonderful.
You're working so hard tending to the kids, all by yourself.
It doesn't matter how skilled you are or what your specialty is.
What's amazing is how you can keep up with it all.
But...
I'm thinking about leaving this island.
Why?
Because you're leaving.
Absurd.
That's stupid.
No, it's not stupid.
I'm serious.
Forget about me.
I guess I'm just distracting you.
No.
No.
No!
No...
Absurd.
That's stupid.
I guess I'm just distracting you.
Forget about me.
Not there.
It's dangerous under that cliff!
They can't hear me.
Move away from there!
What?!
People with type O and type A blood, give your blood for these two!
If they die while the principal is on medical leave, it will be my responsibility.
Doctor, please save her!
Move out of my way.
Are you going to work on both of them at the same time?
Can you really do it?
That's hard to believe.
I'm in awe.
His hands are moving like a machine.
Mr. Mayor, both of them have five internal ruptures each.
Will the village pay the fee for the surgeries?
It'll be ¥ 100,000,000.
We don't have that kind of money...
You still have the money you were going to use to pay the construction company for the auditorium, don't you?
But that's...
You should ask them to wait.
You didn't have the money to fix a cliff that posed an eminent danger,
but you couldn't wait to pay for an auditorium?
Her coronary arteries are underdeveloped; they're too small.
She cannot withstand an operation.
But with five internal ruptures, she can't be saved without one.
I just need to complete this fast.
Dang it! I won't let them die like this!
The operations are complete.
Now, go home.
Will they live?
I can't tell.
But I'm isolating the patients!
So leave!
Black...
Dr. Black Jack,
will the girl live?
Yes, she will.
Good.
Thank you, Doctor.
Doctor,
What is it?
when I saw the kid getting swallowed by the mudslide, I wanted to save her.
I thought that was my duty.
Yes, that's right.
But don't talk anymore.
You're overtaxing your heart.
But I won't make it, will I?
What are you saying?!
I wanted to live a little longer on this island.
Stop that!
Cheer up!
And live!
You still have hope!
Doctor,
can I have the scalpel?
The scalpel?
Your wonderful scalpel.
Thank you.
Now I have no regrets before I die.
Ms. Kiyomi, don't say that!
You finally called me by my name.
Dr. Shimizu,
are you awake?
You've been healed!
And the girl as well.
She stayed here until a few moments ago.
Where's Dr. Black Jack?
See ya!
Ms. Kiyomi, you're alive because this island needs you.
Doc!
I love you, darling; If I can be united with you,
I couldn't be happier...
I wanted to see you forever
I'm laying on the grill,
being heated up by you,
so much that I change color
I dress up with sparkly grains of decorations
I love you, darling; Please love me more and more
I love you, darling; If I can be united with you,
I couldn't be happier
How does it taste?
Can't you operate on Largo so she'll be smarter?
That's...
This research will lead to a cure for children who suffer from brain damage.
People destroy nature.
That's bad.
Nadare did...
I warned you back then.
If only Nadare were as intelligent as a person...
Daigo...

Doc!
