Black Jack the Movie

<Story

At the 1996 Olympics, astonishing new world records were set in more than 10 different events, and the athletes who set records that defied conventional human wisdom were hailed as "super-humans. The emergence of "metahumans" was not limited to the world of sports, but also extended to the fields of art and science, bringing about extraordinary innovation and progress in each field. Black Jack visited London after hearing that a girl he had treated before had developed a new disease. However, by the time he arrives, the girl has already passed away in an inoperable state. He was shocked to witness the pathological autopsy of the girl. The organs of the 14-year-old girl were in the same state of disuse as those of a 90-year-old man. Who and why? Black Jack discovers a hidden conspiracy, and the evil hand of a mysterious organization closes in on him!
