Background
Tenma and Franz Bonaparta reach the Hotel Bergbach, and the boy Wim tells Tenma that Nina is in town looking for him. When Johan arrives, Bonaparta aims his gun at him but is shot by Roberto, who soon dies of his own wounds. Johan points at his forehead and asks Tenma to shoot him. Nina and Dr. Gillen arrive; she begs Tenma not to shoot and tells Johan she forgives him, but Johan draws a gun on Wim to force Tenma's hand. Wim's father, Herbert Knaup, arrives and, seeing a monstrous beast, shoots Johan in the head. As the authorities take statements from Gillen and Lunge and Tenma is about to be arrested, a paramedic asks for his help: Johan is alive with a bullet in his brain, and Tenma prepares to save him again, as he did in 1986. The final episode, "The Real Monster", follows.
