Ep. 8: Black Jack untersucht nicht alternden Koma-Patienten in England

8

Black Jack finally arrives in England searching for Dr. Stein when he hears of a man who's been in a coma for 65 years but has not aged. Dr. Stein wants to analyse him seeking information about eternal youth, however the patient's niece has hired Dr. Kiriko to end his life. Instead, Jack successfully operates on the patient who regains consciousness, but begins ageing rapidly and dies. Shortly afterwards Dr. Stein tell jack that it was him who urged Dr. Honma to try organ transplants on Jack 21 years ago after he was severely injured in an explosion. As Dr. Stein dies from a curious ailment called "Phoenix disease" he gives Jack the name of Dr. Jorujyu, currently in New York, who was also in the old group photograph and who may be able to help Jack with his quest.
