| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Idk why but I find some parts of the episode to be kinda silly. Seems like there's a bit of a rude lady this episode though. I think Hazuma is always ready for a challenge so... Not much man service this week :o |
 |
| So the black guy and blondie are deserters from Vietnam war ? No wonder why they can't go to hospital. Dr. Honma here ! (Although it's only in Hazama's imagination) |

| I find it hilarious that the same guy who in episode 2 casually (and perfectly) performed a full face transplant 50 years before the first time it was done in the real world is now saying "I can't perform miracles". That said, much better episode this time. Convinced me not to drop the show. |
| Everyone in this show is a asshole. |
 |
| The activist guys in this were a bunch of fucking jerks, and especially that selfish bitch with the gun Still, Hazama has delivered yet again and shows that he's just better than everyone in this series but I can't stand how they take advantage of him |
| Man just because they're in an organization for "justice" doesn't mean they're entitled to have their buddy saved, alright. Even threatening the only person who can save the man wouldn't do anything, if you shoot him, the guy still won't be saved. So ungrateful too, "are you trying to get me killed?" No, the opposite, actually. What a twist though that he was working for CIA. Hazama meets all the shitty patients there are in the world huh. It was interesting though when Hazama was having an internal conflict about whether or not to save the man. It does feel like you're turning a blind eye or running away if you can do something about it, yet you're not. The only reason for turning away is that you don't have a medical license, yet you are perfectly more than capable of performing the procedure. It's a big reason of course, but I liked the narration at the end, "At that time, Hazama did not know that there were no right or wrong actions to take in medicine." |
| Time just flies by watching this anime. Incredible Btw why did they let hazuma out at the end? Didn't get that part |

 |
| It seems like every episode, Hazama meets more and more fucked up people. It's a shame that people always seem to be taking advantage of him. What I found really interesting about this episode was that internal conflict he had with himself about whether or not he should go through with the procedure. I just thought that was a good way to illustrate just how difficult his situation was. Anyway, looking forward to next episode's asshole-of-the-week lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I feel so bad right now. I feel so bad for Hazama. He only did what he thinks is right but still ended up being the wrong one. |
| Fucking knew it , everyone he saves end up being an asshole in some form . |
| good episode this week. learnt more medical stuff. The egoistic woman really pissed me off (actually the whole grp does, but the woman is the worst of the bunch)  Felt the exact same way lol. |
 |
| DAMN , That is one hell of a surgery. INSANE! And the egoistic woman really pissed me off. |
 |
| Now that was Black Jack alright Great episode |
  |
That bitch. I was hoping Hazama would shut her up and I'm glad he did. The CIA guy was also an asshole. He should have been grateful.  I hate it when someone gets in trouble for doing the right thing. At least they released him but I feel like he'll face more repercussions for operating on that deserter.  |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| That bitch takes the cake for the most annoying character in Young Black Jack so far. Hazama did right! 4/5 |
 |
| I don't like the pro-war anti-anti-war activist undertones of this episode.... It seems to be aimed at dehumanizing deserters and anti-war activists. Hell this almost feels like propaganda. The people who help those deserters are crazy immoral assholes.... -,- Well as a pacifist I did not enjoy this episode, this ever-present filthy jingoism made me disgusted. |
| I am a human. |
| Great episode overall, as expected from a Black Jack Anime. Next week's looks to be even better, since it'll be an arc covering the Vietnam war. Oh boy! |

KKRais said: That said, much better episode this time. Convinced me not to drop the show. +1, the best episode so far. Hope they continue like this. |
| damn people in this anime sure are ungrateful assholes , Episode 1 , the father of the little kid he saved treated him like shit after he learned he wasn't a Doctor yet even though he was begging for him to save his son and now that fucking egoistic bitch , i hate violence towards women but hazama should've beat the crap out of that bitch . that deserter was an asshole too , Hazama just saved his life and did an extremly difficult and dangerous surgery and how does he thank him ? by sending him to prison of course. Waiting for the newt episode to see what kind of asshole we'll get to see XD |

Glad Hazama SHTFU |
 |
| That guy is just so ungrateful, even after he got saved. Everyone of them even in the past two episodes are just selfish. SchwingBoner said: That bitch. I was hoping Hazama would shut her up and I'm glad he did. I really wanted to punch her too. |
| I loved it! The beginning was so cute/funny it was hard to believe that Black Jack is the same Black Jack from the original series, but it was so good to see him acting so silly. The woman was an asshole and so was the guy he saved, but oh well, that's why he turned out to be the cynical man he is, as someone already said in this thread. I was really glad when he shuted that woman's mouth too. Really good episode ~ |
| so black jack is released from the prison just to be sent to vietnam right? |
| Darn, not that surprised he did the surgery, but I know I wouldn't of because of how ungrateful those people were. |

I hate people who feel like they're entitled to be saved, like no bitch save yourself or beg for it. Life isn't going to be handed to you. |
| Those two are freaking jerks. It's been a while since anime characters make me this mad. I was hoping Hazama would punch that girl in the face and the other faggot in the balls. Also, since when did Hazama and Okamoto get along? She's casually lurking around his house like they are dating or something.. |
 |
| Yeah, it looks like in every episode there will be an asshole. Besides that, best episode so far. I really enjoyed it. |
| Everyone is an asshole besides Hazama. Can't believe how much shit he has to get for saving people all the time. |

| Finally starting to pick up, getting to what makes the series so great. Didn't expect this to be so good, but this author seems to have great talents. zerorequiem_ said: HaXXspetten said: Now that was Black Jack alright |
 |
| A lot better than the first 2 episodes Also Black Jack was fully clothed for the entire runtime. Very impressive self control :D |
 |
| Loved the episode. That bitch was pissing me sooo much. It really shows how different Hazama is from the OVA when he is older. A great surgeon. I like Okamoto a lot. |
Shuhan said: Everyone in this show is a asshole. That was so satisfying when he shoved that bitch against a wall. Really wanted to punch her in the face myself. This anime gives good life lessons "everyone's an egoist". |
| Near the end, he said "There were no right or wrong actions to take in medicine." That depends on how you look at it. I get what he's implying; from a moral standpoint, it makes sense if you do what you feel is right at the time...but from a literal perspective, then all sorts of shit can get fucked up, i.e that recent news story about the doctor leaving a baby's severed head inside the mother's womb, whom later died from the complications. If that's not wrong, I don't know what is. Seems like all of this is swept under the rug because the CIA agent Smith went back undercover into the organization to continue his mission of finding deserters,and possibly taking out the group (so we can assume we'll never see Hazama's underclassman and the women ever again), especially since only Hazama was detained and not those two, as they still needed them to show them their escape routes and roundup the rest of them. But, none of that matters to Hazama. This is also a pivotal moment in Hazama's life, since he made the decision to do what he felt was right, no matter the repercussions of possibly never getting his medical license. 3 Episodes in, and Young Black Jack certainly keeps that bitter-sweet undertone...in this case, he saved a life, but that life would continue his undercover mission of bringing the deserters back to the hellish battlefield. |

| Instead of commenting on the political connotation behind this anime and this episode in particular: at how it 'dehumanises' activism and desertion and so, I want to point out the medical aspect of this episode in particular. Decompressive craniectomy is one hell of a surgery to begin with, and Hazama managed to pull it off with such ease, especially during the drilling process. It immediately reminded me of the J-Drama Jin, during which the first episode involved the same procedure to remove the blood tumour in the brain from trauma. The anime could have afforded to show more of the surgery, instead of spending too much time in rather trivial matters IMO. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Another beautifully done episode. I loved how humanistic they portray this show to be. War is definitely no joke, and you cannot help but see the many points of views in this very episode. Each party believes their cause is right and just, but in the end it matters little when you are laid out on a treatment table, fighting for your life. I won't say that Anti-war activists are wrong, or that a government forcing mandatory conscription into the army is wrong or whatnot, but in the end it didn't matter at all. Because Hazama saved the CIA agent's life, he ended up ruining the lives of those deserters and the activists (probably). I think the show went out of it's way to paint the activists in a bad light (they were too extreme in their beliefs imho), just so you wouldn't feel so bad about their end when the dust settled, but even if the activists weren't as extreme as portrayed in the episode, Hazama can't be faulted for saving a life. I think this show does really well to show us how no one, be it an innocent boy, a mafia boss, or an undercover agent for a tyrannical government, should be judged by the doctor for things that they'd done (or will do) when they're on the operation table. That should always be the essential mantra for all doctors. Guilty or innocent, a life is a life, doctors really have not right to dispute that, and at the same time they should not be held responsible for what happens to that life after they've saved it. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Okamoto and Hazama are so cute. XDD Damn, this episode was awesome. Better than the first two, I loved it. That woman though, she really pissed me off. Jerkhov said: zerorequiem_ said: This series continues being awesome, I can't even... I want to see more of Doctor Honma in the later episodes. D; |
 “The dreams and ideals we believe in, seem they might just fall apart if we take our eyes off them.” |
| Dam, you can't help but feel sorry for Hazama for all the assholes he has to deal with : / People always tend to take advantage of another's goodwill. |
 |
| > is pacifist > has a gun lol ok Also Smith looked soooo much like a fully white version of Sentaro Kawabuchi from Sakamichi no Apollon before he got his hair cut... |
| ...every episode is full of drama |
