Was that a reference to doctor Tenma from Monster?

Probably, but I'm more inclined to think that was a reference to Black Jack, another Tezuka work.

Indeed, it was definitely Black Jack. You can just tell by the bit they showed.

oh...I haven't gotten to read Monster or Black Jack yet...
I've read Ode to Kirihito and that supposedly was the precursor for Black Jack and Tezuka's whole medical manga genre

I remember Monster the anime and it did seem that way.. the old mans past really left him scared.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Nice Black Jack reference. Getting familiar with Tezukas work before reading this is paying off already.

That's want I thought too, but it seems form reading the discussion that I was Blackjack. Might have to catchup on Blackjack soon.

That was totally a Black Jack reference, and too bad we only got like his legs, I would've liked to see how he'd look in Urasawa's style.

Paul had a really sad childhood. But at least he managed to become great at music.
