During an accident in a nuclear plant, Kazuoki got locked inside a highly radioactive room to keep Kazuya and other people safe in the next room and died from radiation poisoning. His body was found still standing after he finished giving Kazuya surgery instructions to save an old friend. | |

Feel No Pain | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_19211122 | comment |
Feel No Pain: In one story Kazuya is kidnapped to work for the royal army of Qasar. The King wants him to "remodel" his soldiers into unrelenting killing machines, but K refuses to have any involvement in that. Then another doctor, Tetsu, shows up and inflicts this trope on the soldiers via a treatment that's supposed to be used to relieve the pain of patients with terminal cancer. The soldiers steadily lose their humanity as they fight and become willing to storm a hospital full of hostages. However, their leader Satoki comes to his senses when he accidentally shoots his own fiancée. After figuring out Satoki can still be cured and doing so, Kazuya sneaks into the King's bedroom and does neurosurgery to deprive him of pain for a set amount of time. On the next day the King suffers from various injuries without realizing it and becomes greatly worried. Upon hearing Satoki's confession of what they had done and why, the King acknowledges how he caused such suffering to his loyal subjects and begins to strive for a peaceful resolution to the civil war in his country. | |

Dragon Their Feet: Hashizume repeatedly targets Kazuya for the death of his boss Hidemasa even after the former president's grandson gives up on it. However, when Hashizume finally corners Kazuya and is in the middle of stabbing him to death, it just so happens K is operating on his own son. The hitman is forced to help out and ironically has to prevent all the other people from Jonan University from finishing K off. | |

Career-Ending Injury | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_2882c8c1 | comment |
Career-Ending Injury: A volleyball player called Sadahisa Otani who's friends with Kazuya gets his right arm ripped off by a train while saving a boy from the tracks. Kazuya puts him back together and gives him a training regimen to be performed until he gains his grip back. At the end of the story, the player does manage to earn the gold medal for his team at the Olympics. A young F-1 racer named Oda gets his eyes damaged by radiator steam while working on his car. Later his teammate, an expy of Alain Prost, burns to death in a crash but manages to protect his eyes so that their cornea can be donated to Oda. Sadahisa's brother Tatsumi, a Track and Field runner, is hit by a car in a later story and three ligaments on his right leg are severed. Kazuya provides him with an ingenious surgery and the motivation needed to get back to form. Tatsumi's rival Shuichi had been taking doping drugs from Dr. Tetsu and collapses from the side-effects after a very close victory. The media considers him virtually retired, but Kazuya and Sadahisa start helping him recover and redeem himself from his mistake as well. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Kazuya might be designed after Kenshiro but as a doctor he upholds the Hippocratic Oath and generally doesn't condone violence... Generally... He seriously considers kiling Sanada in response to him trying to assassinate his friends, but can't bring himself to let the villain die from what would've been a mortal wound. Kazuya takes part in the operation against the kingpin Silvara under the condition that that he'll be captured alive, but it soon turns out the soldiers involved had no intention of doing that. After the squad engages in combat with guerillas, Kazuya takes the time to perform first-aid on the one surviving enemy and takes him to safety. The squad moves ahead of Kazuya, but neither the leader Stewart or even Tetsu outright disagree with his way of thinking. | |

Rosha sees through them instantly and is further horrified to see his powers are doing nothing to help the poor pup. Luckily, Kazuya arrives in time to help them. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In one story, K is forced to use the corpse of a pilot who suddenly died and crashed the helicopter he was in for a skin graft surgery on another passenger, a attorney with fatal burn injuries, despite the man declaring it would be against the law to do so, and being willing to die if it meant K could be hired into his medical institute without any more complications. Dr. Asakura attempts to help as well, but gets knocked out by K. A rescue worker named Mochiji makes a call to a hospital regarding the victim of a traffic accident his group doesn't have enough time to bring to safety. On the other side of the line, K warns Mochiji that he'll have to perform a surgery by following his instructions, but will also be branded a criminal for doing so without medical qualifications. Mochiji still agrees, feeling sympathy for the patient since he also used to be a bike racer in his youth. | |

Author Tract | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: Naturally, several chapters deal with the importance of all physicians and others are about corruption on the medical establishment. Chapter 63 ends with the narrator remarking that Japan is seriously outmoded by other countries when it comes to organ transplants due to lack of donors, difficulty to have consent from a dead person's family and the unpreparedness of their medical system. Chapter 69 involves a girl who has to pretend being a boy to play professional Baseball. While the narrative supports men and women playing the sport on equal terms, both Takashina and Kazuya speak against trans people (Takashina making crude remarks while K argues people should accept their biological gender) when the subject comes up. | |

Friendly Enemy: Kazuya once gets stuck on an american battleship where the crew was supposedly suffering from food poisoning but was actually under the effects of damaged bioweapons they were secretly transporting. Kazuya was given no information or equipment to handle this, but then a soviet submarine comes and hits the ship with a torpedo filled with medicine because their goverment couldn't let Kazuya meet his doom there. The captains from both vessels bid farewell hoping to never have to face each other in combat. The drug kingpin Silvara is amicable to Kazuya, as he's familiar with his reputation and knows he shouldn't be killed. Even when Silvara's drug plantations end up destroyed he asks his forces to spare Kazuya and Tetsu on the basis that they're noncombatants and gets them sent back to America. | |

The machine reduces as much of the cancer with thermotherapy as Yasunori's body can stand and then goes against its directives by flashing the lamp, which lets the other doctors retrieve him and remove the rest of the cancer via surgery. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: During an accident in a nuclear plant, Kazuoki got locked inside a highly radioactive room to keep Kazuya and other people safe in the next room and died from radiation poisoning. His body was found still standing after he finished giving Kazuya surgery instructions to save an old friend. Dr. Nanase gets locked inside a sealed-off room without air circulation and with a severely injured Kazuya. She manages to fix his bleeding arm and give him the single oxygen tank available before passing out. Thankfully, Kazuya wakes up right after and uses a chemical reaction with his own blood and Oxydolum to produce more oxygen until the bad guys open the place again. When a young Kazuya and his mother Kyoko get caught in a landslide, the boy suffers from severe blood loss and his type is Le(a-b-) of all things. By the end of the story Kyoko locks herself with him and transfuses her blood until she dies in his place. When Dr. Sorimachi makes a desperate deal with the black market to obtain a kidney for a patient, he finds it came from Cunanan, a victim of organ traffickers who then happens to get sent for treatment on the hospital he works in. Sorimachi suffers mortal injuries when he stays behind to retrieve Cunanan's other kidney from the traffickers' headquarters. Hashizume is beaten and stabbed to death while guarding the operation room a heavily injured Kazuya was being treated in, in gratitude for his hated enemy having saved his son's life. | |

Gag Penis: Dr. Yasunori Mamo has a habit of casually walking around bottomless, much to the shock of anyone who sees him like this. Even his character profile page has him half-naked with a mosaic over his genitals. | |

Locking MacGyver in the Store Cupboard | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_673999b1 | comment |
Dr. Nanase gets locked inside a sealed-off room without air circulation and with a severely injured Kazuya. She manages to fix his bleeding arm and give him the single oxygen tank available before passing out. Thankfully, Kazuya wakes up right after and uses a chemical reaction with his own blood and Oxydolum to produce more oxygen until the bad guys open the place again. | |

Dying Declaration of Love: Ryuichi tells a story of how he fought to become a doctor to earn the hand of his mentor Fumiyo in marriage, only to learn she suffered from terminal cancer and accidentally hasten her death in his grief during their last conversation. He keeps a x-ray marked with an "sa" that Fumiyo gifted him in her final moments, but doesn't understand what it means until Kazuya turns it upside down and notes the trachea in the picture forms a "Yes" with the two letters. | |

Tatsumi never presses charges against Tetsu and keeps what Shuichi is doing a secret from the media. After recovering from his injuries, Tatsumi narrowly loses against Shuichi, which makes Tetsu feel validated despite Shuichi nearly dying from the side-effects of his treatment. | |

Tetsu makes the effort of helping Kazuya reattach the arm even if he thinks it's impossible under the circunstances, while Kazuya can't help but acknowledge the villain's surgical skills as well. | |

Drugs Are Bad: A story arc starting in chapter 135 starts with Dr. Quaid asking Kazuya and Asakura to treat his son, who has fallen into a coma from drug overdose. Jeff Ekland, the vice-chairman of the Quaid Foundation, sends Kazuya and Tetsu alongside a squad of soldiers to curb drug trafficking in America by capturing a drug kingpin called Silvara on the border between Brazil and Colombia. Things turn complicated when Kazuya realizes the nefarious Tetsu had vaccinated everyone with plague capsules to prevent desertion and that the soldiers were actually under orders to kill Silvara. Kazuya ends up encountering the man himself and learns that not only the locals depend on the drug plantations to make a living but also that Jeff is actually their biggest client. The most xenophobic man alive, Jeff intends to take over Silvara's operations, redirect all of it to Japan to ruin the country and also to get Kazuya and Asakura assassinated while he's at it. | |

Expy | |
| Super Doctor K (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Kazuo Mafune once worked as an assistant to Tetsuo Hara, which explains why Dr. Kazuya is pretty much Kenshiro with a slighty different haircut. His personality and some of his superhuman traits all match Ken's. Hell, he even wears a typical post-apocalyptic cloak everywhere in a plain contemporary setting. German doctor Wilhelm Kaiser looks just like Stroheim from Jojos Bizarre Adventure and comes complete with the "German X is the greatest in the world" catchphrase. This manga was running concurrently with Battle Tendency at the time. In chapter 92, Kakyoin from that same series appears as the evil Dr. Sanada Takeshi. His design is pretty much shamelessly the same, and even his plan to set a parasite upon K is analogous to Kakyoin possessing a teacher with Hierophant Green when he's first introduced as a villain. That Jotaro already was cut from Kenshiro's cloth and like him Kazuya gets to personally judge Sanada because the police is made to ignore the villain's next ploy, makes the whole reference fit like hand in glove. | |
