Synopsis: The year is 1968, and the world is swept up in the Vietnam War and student protests. In this time of turmoil, a mysterious young man with white and black hair and a scar on his face is enrolled in medical school. His genius skills with a surgical knife achieve many a medical miracle and are getting noticed. This hero origin story reveals how this young man earned his medical degree and the name of Black Jack.
The drama will be an original story about the past of the brilliant mercenary doctor Black Jack, during his days as a medical student. In particular, the story will address questions such as why Black Jack does not have a medical license, why he seeks such expensive fees for his services, and how he is connected to his fateful rival Dr. Kiriko. On Christmas day, a bomb explodes in a shopping mall. The explosion was perpetrated by a serial bomber. A 9-year-old boy Kuro Hazama and his mother Mitsuko (Naho Toda) are seriously and transfered to a university hospital. With the elite skills of surgeon Dr. Jontaro Honma (Masachika Ichimura), Kuro survives, but is shocked to learn his mother is in a coma. Dr. Honma tells Kuro that when medical science advances, Michiko might one day awake. Kuro decides then to become a doctor. 15 years later, 24-year-old Kuro is a medical student and his mother is still in a coma. Kuro researches ways to awaken his mother. One day, on the street a medical student named Yuna (Riisa Naka) is about to give aid to a woman whose heart has suddenly stopped. But at that time, Kuro tells Yuna that there is a measure which should be done before giving cardiac aid. With Kuro's advice, the woman's life is saved. Meanwhile, Yuna's father is the chief director at the university hospital. A few days later, Kuro and Yuna meet again. Yuna (whose father is the chief director at the university hospital) has become interested in Kuro. She discovers that Kuro, without a license, treats patients who were rejected from the hospital.
