Uncovering a frightening conspiracy of a mysterious organization.
In search of information about the mysterious phoenix disease, they head for the Arctic Circle.
When they get there, Black Jack has a duel with the beautiful assassin, Benitokage!
Shine... The love is Believe... the truth
Even if life is filled with sorrows,
no one will ever be truly lonely.
When I look up at the sky as I pray,
I feel as if I can hold your dear smile.
Although I struggle through a forest of dilemmas,
my feelings will endure for all eternity.
More than a thousand I love yous,
I want you to be here.
No one can replace you.
Your smile will be the light leading me to tomorrow,
and towards the sun in the sky.
Ever since the reunion with my father, Hazama Kagemitsu, a mysterious organization has been after my life.
The truth about the mystery of the Noir Project...
was that is was a project researching the secret of eternal life.
Twenty-one years ago, why did my father leave me and my mother and join the research team?
The man who knew everything, Dr. Jorujyu, died from the mysterious phoenix disease.
So now we're heading to his research lab in search of more information.
Beyond the Aurora
Based on "The Assassins are Coming!" by Osamu Tezuka.
It's getting cold.
Doc, everything's white and covered in snow.
May I see your ticket?
Thanks.
How far are we from Northtown?
We're scheduled to arrive at 12:05, so we're two hours away.
Are you going there to purchase diamonds?
Diamonds?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Many doctors are rich, so I thought that's why you were going.
Have a nice trip.
Two more hours.
I'll make it snack time!
What's wrong?
That conductor knew I was a doctor.
Someone's leaking information.
Could it be that assassin?
I found them.
They're in room 305.
Are you sure?
Yes.
A man with a scarred face and a small girl.
He said he was going to Northtown.
I see.
Thanks.
Did you hear that?
He's in 305.
Sounds like it.
Benitokage-sama, I thought the orders to assassinate BJ had been canceled.
You're only asking for trouble if you go against orders.
You'd better not take the organization lightly.
Let's withdraw from...
It's not about my job.
It's my way of life.
Black Jack!
Souryu, you go towards the back!
Doc, it's a dead end.
What now?
We'll be arriving at Field Town shortly.
Make sure you take all of your belongings when you get off.
We'll be arriving at Field Town shortly.
Is he on the roof?
So?
It doesn't look like he got off.
What are we going to do now?
We're closed for the night.
Come back later.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
I'm trying to find a place to sleep.
A place to sleep?
This isn't a hotel.
It's a pub.
Go away.
Hey now...
I don't care about comforts.
Yes, I've got a room.
I used to take in the occasional overnight guest, so I've got a couple of rooms.
Ohmigewdness...
I'll get you some clean sheets.
We're heading for the mountains, so can you get a car ready?
A car, huh?
Sir, you can't go to the mountains in a car.
I'll get you what you'll really need.
Are we really staying here?
We'll be leaving early tomorrow, so get to bed early.
Jeez!
Why so early...
Hush!
How does it feel to ride on a dog sled?
I love it!
Right, Doc?
This is as far as we go.
You'll need to walk from here.
The sled can't go beyond this point.
You can get to the spot you mentioned on foot within the hour.
Thanks for everything.
And thank you guys too.
Let's go, Pinoko.
Wait up!
Wait up, Doc!
Let's hurry.
The weather in the mountains is capricious.
Doc!
Don't let go of my hand!
Benitokage-sama! It's not safe to keep going in this blizzard!
Let's head back!
That's not going to be a problem!
We'll get to Jorujyu's shack if we keep going straight!
But...
Then let's split up.
You go around the forest.
I want some hot cocoa.
Come on!
We're almost there!
Where is he?
You can't get away!
Doc!
That noise...
Don't tell me...
Pinoko!
Hey! Pinoko!
Ohmigewdness.
Why?!
Why do you have to save her?!
She would've died if we left her there.
Fine!
I can't see ahead at all.
At this rate, we all will...
Damn!
Is this as far as we go?
Doc!
Doc, are you OK?
Come on...
Is this Dr. Jorujyu's...
Doc, the hot water's ready.
Good.
Let me see that.
I'll wash her body.
Doc?
She's fine.
It's not life-threatening.
But I can only apply first aid here.
We have to take her to a full-service clinic.
I hope the blizzard'll calm down.
I'm going to look for clues about the Noir Project.
Dr. Jorujyu was one of the key members of the Noir Project.
The challenge the human race must face.
It's the only resistance we vulnerable humans could muster.
There must be a clue somewhere.
That's...
Benitokage-sama!
It's cold!
It's OK now.
The door was just blown open by a gust of wind.
But I still feel a breeze.
Doc, there's something under the table.
What?
It's a trapdoor.
A trapdoor?
Pinoko, look after her.
OK.
This is it.
You shouldn't move yet!
You're...
You finally woke up.
This is...
Doc, treated you.
Why?
Why did he save me?
The growth and circumstances of phoenix disease...
This is it!
Doc!
Being merciful to your enemy?
You're naive, Black Jack.
I'm the one you want, right?
Let go of Pinoko.
As long as you do as I say, she'll be safe.
Come here, Pinoko!
Doc!
It looks like the wound opened again.
Pinoko, get ready to apply first aid.
But Doc...
Black Jack! Don't take me so lightly.
I could never live down the shame of being pitied by my enemy.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Pinoko, get ready for an emergency operation.
It would've been bad if the scalpel had punctured her heart.
Anyway, I'm surprised out blood types match.
I guess we were destined to cross each other's paths.
Damn, the wound is deep.
Pinoko, wipe my sweat.
OK.
Why is it shaking, Doc?
It's the early signs of an avalanche.
An avalanche?
The ground is quite loose because of the diamond mining.
Then we better get away!
We can't leave the patient.
Clamp.
Why?!
She tried to kill you so many times!
She spoke badly about you just earlier too!
Pinoko!
A life must be saved as long as it can be‒no matter whose it is.
Isn't that right?
But...
Look at this.
The heart is beating with all its might.
It's crying, "I don't want to die."
It really is...
Pinoko, give me a clamp.
Aye-aye!
Hurry, Doc!
Just a little more!
We're almost done!
OK. Done!
We'll get in the cellar!
Hurry, Doc!
Dammit!
The document I finally found!
Doc!
It looks like the avalanche is over.
Doc, what will happen to us?
We'll be crushed if we move around carelessly.
We'll have to sit here for a while.
Somebody! Help us!
It's no use.
We'll be crushed under all this snow and debris.
You saved my life,
but we're already done for.
It's ironic that we're dying here together.
Why are you trying to kill me?
You dedicate your life to saving other people's lives.
I do the opposite.
You were the one who stole the artificial heart from the hospital, weren't you?
Why?
I only did it under the orders of the organization.
It was named the Type Hydra.
The hydra was an immortal serpent in Greek mythology.
Is this somehow related to the phoenix disease?
I'm sorry, but I'm an outsider to the organization.
Have you seen this?
Do you know about them?
That's...
Anything will do.
The second...
The second man from the right is Dr. Kuma.
Dr. Kuma?
Yes.
He should be somewhere in the Gabonese Republic in Africa.
The lamp...
Doc!
Benitokage-sama!
Souryu.
Black Jack!
Stop it!
It's OK.
It's OK for now.
I'll get help for you when we get to town.
Keeping things even between us?
I guess.
Let's go.
Doc,
the aurora fills the sky.
Yeah,
it does.
The shadow covering the door, an obstacle we can't see yet.
I take notes on everything from north to west.
There's a frail, pale flame whose
glaring rays
pierce into my eyes.
I'm stuck in an endless loop.
This costume shines light into the darkness.
The black grove is producing buds.
If you set off on your journey before dawn,
the image of the moon shatters on the sea of miracles.
To the wind headed for the future, make a gust!
Uncovering a frightening conspiracy of a mysterious organization.
The time to say goodbye to Pinoko draws near.
Having you around is a nuisance.
I hate you, Doc!
Isn't is tough to live away from the one you love?
Is that really happiness?
Please save my brother!
Please use my liver.
Don't be absurd!
Black Jack 21 - the Next Karte.
Pinoko, Go Back to Japan!
Black Jack never gives up until the very end!
Time to find Sharaku!
He was right here!
Look for me next time!
