The dream of what kind of doctor Tezuka Osamu, legendary manga artist and also a licensed doctor, wanted to be... Black Jack!

Black Jack consists of a rogue doctor, aliased Black Jack, who for private and safety reasons [since the time of losing his license to practice medicine] must practice medicine in the shadows. He lost his medical license when performing a surgery on a dying patient, which was against the head doctor's orders, thus having his license revoked. Since then, he had turned into a lone connoisseur of the medical field -- mainly surgery. That's right, most of the cases delivered to him require "cutting open" his patients and removing the cancerous, life-threatening, disgusting or simply something that you just wouldn't want in your own body.

Throughout Black Jack, heavily moral led themes are present, which runs fairly close to how a real-life situation would be. So it's not all hack and slash or action like many other animes but don't be waned! Black Jack is also a fighter, when needed that is but only to save a life of someone in danger or someone who might be seen to be heavily ill.

He may not be your average hero with super powers or control a large mecha that could save the entire world, no. But the reality of what it means to be a hero from a rogue doctor's point-of-view and also realizing that even from mastering your skills, not every life can be saved... Black Jack delivers and keeps on delivering.

With a stitched up face and a generally hideous yet handsome look, Black Jack is a lone hero that you do not want to miss out on. Tezuka Osamu's greatest work, Black Jack!
