After he became proficient in his use of firearms, Tenma ventured to Frankfurt, where he was investigating the recent murder of the Springer couple. While walking through their estate, he came into contact Otto Heckel , a thief and con-man who was looking to see if there were any good pickings. Unfortunately, the police arrived at that time and the two had to make a quick escape.
They paid a visit to a man carrying a message from Johan , who said to. Tenma his fate had already been decided. The individual killed himself right after.
Heckel soon came to realize just who the man he'd spent the day with was -- Kenzo Tenma, a former surgeon now wanted for murder -- and thought the two could earn a couple bucks if they went according to his magnificent plan of making Tenma an underworld doctor. Although Tenma had no intention of permanently staying in such a position, he did treat and save the life of a terrorist.
This interaction important to the storyline because it's when Tenma first starts to show significant moral development; the old Doctor Tenma would have saved the terrorist in a moment's notice, but the new one forced the man to think about the innocent civilians that died by his hand and made him repent before saving his life.
Next, Tenma learned Johan was once enrolled in an institution called Kinderheim , a government-run East German orphanage that tried to shape the students enrolled into perfect soldiers. He also learned that in ,. While trying to uncover just what the horrendous secret was, he came across a man by the name of Hartmann who was once the director there.
He talked about how brilliant and perfect Johan was even before enrolling, but before he got to the grand revelation of '85, the two were interrupted by Hartmann's adopted child Dieter.
Tenma was surprised to see the boy, as he had run into him earlier that day and treated some of his wounds. They arranged for him to come back at another time and hear the whole story. A few visits later, Tenma realized that Hartmann's kind exterior was just a cover-up for the fact that he had been been abusing Dieter. Next, Tenma decided to add kidnapping to his string of crimes and took the boy to a local hospital.
He told the nurses he'd be back in a few hours and not to let anyone -- under any circumstances -- take Dieter unless it was him. Tenma paid a visit to another orphanage that had been running for quite a while. He first tried to make arrangements for Dieter to move into it, but was unsuccessful.
Afterwards, he and the caretaker, Erna Tietze , began talking about Kinderheim It turned out that the orphanage he was currently visiting was the one Nina, or Anna at the time, stayed at while her brother was in Kinderheim. As for Kinderheim's secret, it was revealed that Johan manipulated all the staff and students to massacre each other, leaving alive only him and Christoph Sievernich.
From there, he and his sister were adopted by the Lieberts and stayed with the family until that fateful day in April After that, he decided to go pick up Dieter, but was surprised to hear Hartmann had already come and gone. He found the two in Kinderheim's ruins; Dieter in a tall, royal-like chair and Hartmann standing right behind him in a rather psychotic state. In the end, Tenma managed to convince Dieter to leave Hartmann for good and join him on his journey.
Next, the two travelled to a small village where they met Petra and Schumann ; Tenma tried to leave. Dieter in safety of the villagers but the boy refused and they started heading towards Frankfurt again. On the way, they learned of the Neo-Nazi group's plan to burn down the Turkish district of Frankfurt. Tenma ended up being captured by the group and Dieter ran to the city to warn the people of what was to come.
After some cruel treatment, the former doctor met Helmut Wolf , a man who one might say is "close" to Johan -- he found the twins starving and half dead on the Czech-German border when they were about seven or eight and saved their lives; in return, Johan had been kind enough to ruin Wolf's, killing any person who ever knew him by name. You could say he and Tenma were almost in the same position, except that because Wolf had transformed into a withered husk as a result of his age, he was rendered useless when it came to killing Johan and instead asked of Tenma to do so.
After, he was met with a nice message left by Johan on the top of a water tower about how the "monster inside of him is about to explode. Following that, he helped Tenma to escape from the police, who Gillen had called before realizing his friend's innocence. Within Tenma's game of cat-and-mouse with Johan, he was also playing a match against Lunge, who had been hot on his trail and lived only for the persecution of his beloved Tenma.
After learning of a killing that occurred Freiham,. Both men came to the same conclusion -- well, sort of -- Tenma knew that Johan was not responsible and Lunge also realized "Johan" aka Tenma was not the killer because there was feeling at the crime scene. Unlucky timing caused the two of them to meet face-to-face, and Tenma would have been caught had the real killer not shown up and wounded Lunge.
In the end, Lunge's persistence caused him to almost bleed to death but Tenma saved him after he passed out. Tenma and Dieter met up with Heckel again and he attended to more wounded people of the underworld. One of.
After he received treatment, the group sat around and ate some of Heckel's cooking. At the same time, Eva's life began to intertwine with Tenma's once again: she had recently hooked up with Roberto , Johan's most loyal follower, and had been bribed by him to shoot Tenma. Roberto had followed Eva and, after she betrayed him, decided to shoot her before making an escape himself. Tenma tended to her wounds then left her with the former mob boss as he set off for Munich, since the man had hinted that a "charismatic young man" had had affiliations there not too long ago.
In Munich, he ended up coming into contact with Julius Reichwein , a former professor of his who had been dragged into the whole Johan mess after one of his therapy clients was forced to commit suicide because of the young. After Reichwein was saved by Tenma Roberto was trying to kill him for knowing too much , he offered to put him and Dieter in a safe house for the time being.
Tenma agreed, but then ended up leaving Dieter with the psychiatrist and escaped on his own. He planned to shoot Johan on one of his weekly bird walks with Schuwald , a businessman he had recently become the secretary of, but came into contact with a former soldier who told him a regrettable story of his past then assured the birds around him that blood would never be shed again in the forest.
Because of Tenma's compassionate heart, that conversation meant he could never bring himself to shoot Johan there. After Tenma read in the newspaper about the killing of "Margot Langer" also known as Blue Sophie , his intuition told him Johan was involved, so he decided to.
The girl was an underworld doctor, and only seventeen years old. He helped her out with some of the patients then they had a conversation afterwards which confirmed his suspicions about whether or not Johan was involved. Following that he snuck into the University of Munich library with hopes of killing Johan at Schuwald's book donation ceremony the following day. Overnight, he had recollections of his own childhood. Unfortunately for Tenma, his scheme to execute Johan did not follow through exactly as planned.
Throughout the speeches, he assumed his position on top of the bookcase, waiting for the perfect opportunity to fire his gun. Instead firing a gun like he intended however, a real fire broke out and the civilians were all trapped within the library's locked doors. If it's any consolation, Tenma ended up shooting someone for the first time; he was faced with a "kill or be killed" situation between himself and Roberto, and shot the unlucky hit man off the library's balcony onto the floor, seemingly killing him.
After, he shot off the doors' hinges, freeing all of the flames' captives. Instead of filing out with the others though, Tenma re-entered the burning landscape in yet another attempt to end the young man's life. As always, he met some sort of road block -- this time it was Nina, who insisted that he mustn't shoot. He too made the same proclamation when she tried to kill her brother.
In the end, Nina became trapped under a burning curtain and Johan escaped while Tenma saved his sister. A few days later, Schuwald, through his son Karl , sent Tenma a message that the mother of the twins might very well be alive in Prague.
Tenma set out on a journey to Prague, while coincidentally Johan, Lunge, Nina, and Dieter were also heading in that direction none of the parties came into contact though. While he was on a train, he met a "freelance journalist" known as Wolfgang Grimmer. The two talked a bit, and Grimmer realized Tenma's discomfort when the police were checking his passport -- which was actually fake -- so he created a diversion which made it easy for the former doctor to secretly jump off the train.
Grimmer joined him not long after and gave him tips on how to secretly cross the Czech-German border without being seen by the patrol officers. The two then parted ways, not knowing how closely related their separate reasons for coming to Prague really were. Tenma successfully crossed the border and began digging up as much information about the twins' mother and her history as he could. At the same time, Grimmer and Jan Suk were struggling with the secret police and Suk ended up in a position which mirrored the situation Tenma dealt with in ' three superiors poisoned and only one man to.
Internally, the reason for so much conflict was merely that there were many groups of people who wanted a tape containing a drugged interrogation with a certain little boy who sent Kinderheim into ruin. Tenma knew that the whole situation was somehow related to Johan, and decided it would be best to find Suk as soon as possible. He paid a visit to the detective's mother , a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease, in the hospital. She mistook the middle-aged Japanese man for her son as a child, and started teasing him about how she knew where his secret hideout was.
When he learned of Suk's little hiding spot, he figured that was at least a starting point to search for the detective. Upon arrival, he was faced with many injured and deceased members of the secret police, a screaming Suk, and a smiling Grimmer with blood dripping from his hands.
Grimmer explained to Tenma the situation and everything that had been happening to him and Suk the last couple. At a hotel, he revealed to the doctor that he was once an inmate of Kinderheim and had consequently developed an alternative personality, "The Magnificent Steiner," who shows up in stressful situations and fights with a superhuman, beast-like power.
Later, the two men met with Karel Ranke , the former head of the Czech Secret Police who offered to them the safe return of Suk currently in one of his organization's hospitals in exchange for the tape. They agreed with the condition that the three of them listen to it first. The group collected the tape from its secure location in the hands of Suk's mother, but when they got to a certain point a voice had taped over the material, leaving a message for Tenma instead.
Johan had gotten there first. After the young detective's release, Tenma and Grimmer split ways. From there, Tenma stopped by the home of Tomas Zobak who was the former editor of picture book author Franz Bonaparta , a man Tenma's investigations revealed to be a very important figure in the twins' lives.
Right after Tenma left, Zobak called the police and he was arrested within minutes. Tenma's arrest generated a lot of havoc amongst the characters in the Monster universe. Everyone, from Schuwald. The time of Tenma's arrest also occurred right when Lunge learned that Franz Bonaparta existed, and therefore Johan did too. When he crossed paths with Tenma in the police station, he whispered that the hardest people to interrogate are the ones who say nothing at all.
Tenma took his advice and it proved to be successful. Ultimately, Fritz Verdemann and Alfred Baul were hired to represent him in court. Verdemann was a top-notch lawyer known throughout Germany, and Baul was supposedly another legal expert.
However, upon meeting with Tenma during a prison consultation, Baul turned out to be Roberto, who had actually survived the events at the library.
In the cells, Tenma met Gunther Milch , another inmate who could practically be dubbed an escape artist. The two planned to confess guilty, which would mean they'd be transferred to another building by vehicle. It's easy, free, and your work on the wiki can be attributed to you.
