As I stand in the wind on a hill by a port town,
my head feels unusually empty.
I was watching the town from the south side of the shore.
And so I sunk my unsteady passion into the depths of the sea.
This surging power...
It's something hidden in everyone, everywhere.
Day after day, everyone tries their best.
But people get annoyed when I mention it.
It makes me glad...
that I found my place here.
I searched for the reason
why we can believe in the same air
as long as we're alive.
He weaves the thread of life with his miraculous control of a scalpel.
The genius surgeon who lives on a cape.
His name is Black Jack.
I want to capture your heart with my silly smile...
Just look straight at me...
Sheesh! Just when I swept it all up!
I hate spiders!
Get off!
N-No! No! No! No!
No!
Oh, my goodness!
A ¥1,000 note?
Pinoko, what have you been doing?
Doc, we found money.
Money?
The Robin and the Boy
Originally "The Robin & the Boy" by Tezuka Osamu
Let's see...
¥25,320.
That's a mystery.
Mysterious money coming to the Black Jack residence...
There must be something behind this.
I don't care.
We have a lot of year-end expenses, so this is a great help.
Girls are too pragmatic.
But Doc told me not to use this money until we find out where it's coming from.
Then I'll solve the mystery!
Really?
Then I'll work hard at it too.
The New Year's Day mochi are at stake here.
Sharaku,
what's that weird thing?
It's the detector I designed.
A detector?
We can find things that are buried under the ground.
Someone must have buried money around here.
And that money got carried by the wind to the Black Jack residence.
That's what I've deduced.
And that "someone" might be a bank robber.
A robber?!
This investigation might become dangerous.
Dangerous?!
This is the spot!
A large sum of money must be here.
What's this?!
Oh no!
The water main broke!
What the heck were you doing?
We were searching for the source of the money.
I thought there might be some criminal behind this.
Idiotic.
Anyway, if you catch a cold, you...
Hey, come over here!
What is it, Doc?
Look at that.
A bird!
The bird has money in its beak!
That's a Japanese robin.
Japanese robin?
It's strange to see one at this time of year.
The Japanese robin is a migratory bird, right?
They're only in Japan during the summer,
so it should have migrated to another country by now.
I wonder why it's still around.
Wait! Robin!
That robin left the money.
But why is the bird...?
This is an even greater mystery!
He brought ¥1,000 and ¥500 yesterday.
And ¥300 for today.
It's now over ¥50,000.
It's said that robins bring happiness,
but I never knew that they brought money too.
I wonder why he's bringing it to us?
Should we ask him?
What are you doing with that perfume?
Just watch.
Good!
Doc, that's where the robin's nest is?
Doc, there's a female bird here!
Her wing is injured.
Injured?
Don't tell me he wanted me to treat that injury.
The injury is almost healed.
I think someone already treated her.
There's money here too.
Owie!
That happens when you try to take money from a nest.
Not the money.
This.
A medicine bottle?
"Midori Pharmacy"
Yes, I remember that well.
A while ago, a boy visited me with an injured wild bird.
Its wing is injured.
Can you make medicine to treat it?
Please.
I prepared the medicine for its injury.
That boy treated the robin using that medicine,
and he told me that its mate kept watch from outside his window.
Isn't that an adorable story?
Eventually, the robins became friends with that boy,
and they visited me on his shoulders.
That boy was going to school while working on the side.
It seems it was a stretch for him to keep paying for the medicine,
but, because of his efforts, the robin's injury got much better.
He's such a caring boy.
The boy said that he was going to give this medicine bottle to the bird.
The robins probably learned the effects of the medicine too.
They're very smart.
But what about it?
That robin is bringing money to my place.
Money?
But why?
We're trying to find out why.
Do you know anything about that boy?
He's a newspaper boy.
You know, I haven't seen him lately.
"Machinaka Newspaper, Distributor"
That boy quit.
Quit?
He was a hard worker, but he fell ill.
Where does he live?
He lived here while he was working for me,
but I don't know what happened to him since he quit.
How terrible!
You chased him away just because he fell ill?
Don't blame me!
He left on his own!
He said that he didn't want to cause any trouble for me.
He has no family, so I'm sure he didn't go too far.
A newspaper boy?
I haven't seen him.
Okay, let's go.
He's a friend of birds.
I don't know.
I used to see him, but I haven't lately.
We can't find him.
We don't even know what he looks like.
This is like trying to grab a cloud.
I know!
We can ask the birds!
This is it!
The last room, right?
Excuse me.
This is...
Doc!
It must be his kidneys.
Who are you?
Ahem.
He's the best doctor in the world.
He can cure any disease.
A-A doctor?
Why didn't you see a doctor sooner?
I have no money.
Come to my clinic right now.
You'll die if we don't treat you now.
But I don't have any money to pay for it.
I've already received the treatment fee.
From the requester.
It was the beginning of summer when I found the robin.
While I was delivering newspapers, I found a female robin who was injured and struggling.
I took her home and gave her medicine, and she started to get better.
So I gave her the medicine and returned her to her nest.
I started to enjoy watching the robins while I delivered newspapers.
By the end of the summer, she seemed to be much better,
and showed me that she could flap her wings.
But by then, I'd started to...
There's ¥57,238 here.
The robin gathered the money and brought it to us day after day,
even when it was windy or rainy.
That robin must have known that I'm someone who can treat illnesses.
Even after the migration season,
he was still concerned about you and kept bringing me money.
It's quite enough for the surgical fee.
I guarantee that I will cure your illness.
Let's start the operation.
Pinoko, prepare the anaesthetic.
Aye-aye!
Clamps.
Here.
Doc, the robin brought money again.
Tell it we don't need money anymore,
and that he's fine now.
Will he understand?
Who knows?
Money again.
How dangerous!
You can stop this now!
You've done enough.
You should rest until spring.
I might be greedy, but I can't accept any more money.
It's enough.
You don't need to bring any more money.
Then that idiot ran to the police box.
Seriously?
Then he got caught himself.
It's carrying something.
That's money!
I'll take it away!
Yeah! Me too!
It's gone...
Dang.
I'll go visit the robins' nest tomorrow.
If I show them that I'm fine, they'll...
The robins will feel relieved too.
Here. This is your medicine.
Largo! Stay quiet!
The robin brought money again.
Doc! Bad news!
Bad news!
What's the ruckus about?
I found blood along with the money from the robin!
What?
He carried the last bit of money while enduring great pain.
It's me.
See? I got better because of you.
"Robin's Tomb"
Look, the robin is...
Robin!
Take care!
I want to capture your heart with my silly smile.
Only look straight at me.
Being kind isn't good enough.
I want to get in touch with your true heart,
deep within the you that nobody else sees.
Being in the gentle sunlight,
I wish on the clover that plays the melody of dreams,
and I search for a ray of hope beyond the blue skies,
because I want to stay by your side forever.
The promise we made long ago in a far away place...
is finally coming to a realization, overcoming the incredible distance,
just as it was led by the light.
Something is happening inside this man's mind.
It's not necessarily a lie.
As long as I'm cured...
It's an invisible man!
One day, it came out with no warning...
Because of it, I can't even go out.
Doc!
No way!
Don't touch me.
Who's talking?
The other me.
The other?

No! No!
N-No!
Oh, my goodness!
