3

Pinoko, refuses to believe that Black Jack is dead and continues to dig through the rubble of their bombed out house. For a while, she lives in the diner owned by Jack's friend Tetsu, but later reluctantly agrees to be adopted by a family that runs a local hospital. It is then revealed that Black Jack survived the bomb blast set by the assassin Benitokage, thanks to help from his friends, Toriton the killer whale and the father and son fishermen. Jack remains in hiding to prevent placing Pinoko and his friends in danger, and suspects that the bomb is similar to the one which almost killed him 21 years ago. During his investigations, Jack discovers an old group photograph in the clinic once owned by Dr. Honma, Black Jack's mentor, which includes Dr. Honma, Dr. Kreutuzer and his father. After Pinoko finds him, Jack comes out of hiding to continue his search for the assassins. (Source: Wikipedia)
