A sequel, based on the books "Blaze Mes 1990"[2] and "Cerisier Center 1991"[3] by the same author,[4] is scheduled to air in July 2024.
[6] In Tojo, Takashina will face Seishirō Tokai, a genius surgeon whose (non-mechanical) surgical technique has a 100% of success, but whose attitude alienates everyone around him.
He aims for the position of president of the Japanese Medical Association, pinnacle of research medicine in Japan, and plans to open a new hospital that specializes in cardiac surgery.
He has heard about Yukihiko Amagi, a devilish, world-renowned genius surgeon that works in the Heart Center in Australia's Gold Coast, and wants him for his team.
His rival from Teika University, Professor Keisuke Nishizaki, who is seeking the post of president of the Japan Surgical Society, as is Saeki, has gone to Tojo, as have clinical trial coordinator Kaori Kinoshita and editor-in-chief of the medical journal Hideto Ikenaga, to watch Saeki in action, when a sudden emergency arises.
On another day, Tokai works on patient Koyama to save his life, but he still needs another surgery to replace his mitral valve.
Kurosaki, the attending surgeon, operates on her, but, unknowingly, leaves some of the tumor he was removing, and that is noticed by Tokai in a post-operative examination.
A Japanese version, the "Caesar" was introduced in Tojo as a clinical trial, and Saeki puts Takashina in charge of it.
Seeing no benefit, Saeki proposes Nishizaki to combine teams into one, with Tokai, Takashina and Sera at the helm.
Teika staff went to Tojo, but immediately felt overwhelmed with Tokai's presence, as he was in charge of the Darwin surgeries.
He asks Saeki to reveal the whereabouts of "Tatsuji Iinuma", the patient he is looking for, as a condition for performing a reoperation to cure him completely.
Sera is to deliver a letter that Saeki gave him, to a doctor called Yukihiko Amagi, who is attending a medical conference in Australia.
They find a boy unconscious on a beach on the Gold Coast and Kakitani decides to give him first aid.
That was Amagi, a world-class genius surgeon, called a diabulous (devil) in the medical world, who played with people and money.
His plans for the new hospital draw resentment from those around him, And to add to it, he boasts that his introduction in the Japanese medical world will be performing a public surgery.
Amagi is the only one in the world with a way to handle successfully direct anastomosis, an advanced form of coronary artery bypass grafting, and he says that he will show it off.
His daughter Asami tries to gather the money by selling the recipe and rights to an apple pie that Shigeno developed.
However, he is scolded by Saeki saying he should explain the situation to local people first, and tells him that he will hold a public surgery to announce his appointment as director of the center, as well as its name.
Amagi instead tries to persuade Mizuno, a director of the business association coordinating investments for the new hospital, to undergo direct anastomosis surgery.
Amagi asks Shingyoji, the president of the Sakuranomiya City Medical Association, to introduce him to patients for public surgery.
