* DuelingDubs: In Latin America, there's two dubbed versions of the 2004 TV series, one dubbed in Colombia (and used by Animax) and another most recent one, dubbed in Mexico. The Mexican one was done with the explicit purpose of replacing the Colombian one, as the quality of the latter is... ''not very good'', to put it in kinder words.

** The same can be said of the Black Jack movie, the plot of which revolves around "super-humans" succumbing to disease and fatality while trying to do what they love.

* Remember Pinoko, the ClingyJealousGirl sidekick of Dr. Manga/BlackJack in the anime and manga of the same name? Well, would you believe that she's an ArtificialHuman constructed by the aforementioned doctor from a woman's underdeveloped parasitic twin and some spare parts while he was drunk? It's totally the truth, we swear.
** There's also an episode that deals with a love triangle between a young doctor, his fiance and - get this - a ''surgically altered, sapient deer''. [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/forrealspeople.JPG We have pictures if you don't believe us.]]
