Inspector Lunge suspects Dr. Tenma in the deaths of three doctors and the disappearance of the Liebert twins; however, he is eventually promoted to chief of surgery. Nine years later, he meets a criminal who warns of an impending monster.
The three doctors are found dead, while the twins are reported missing. Tenma becomes a prime suspect for the murder. The chairman reinstates Tenma as the chief surgeon. Nine years later, a suspect in Lunge's robbery investigation is operated by Tenma and can only say one sentence after waking up.—Naveen Srivatsa
