Once in a time when Japan was at war.
There were men whose existence was erased from history
After, their service was never spoken of again.
Do you call yourselves imperial soldiers with that?!
Not enough spirit!
Tokyo - Military Academy
FASTER!
Want to die!?
Keep your head down!
Don't slow down!
You ok?
Hang in there.
You ok?
What's are you bastards doing over there!?
I apologize sir!
He has a high fever.
Don't make excuses for him!
This is for the victory of the great empire of Japan!
Bastard
Even crawl, just move!
I'll go!
GO!
Bastard
Disobeying a superior officer's order!
Out of the way.
Crawl even, just move!
Captain!
What?
What's with that look!?
Seize him!
Judgment Superior officer violent murder case report Sentence is as followed
Order The accused is sentenced to death
Any last words?
I'm prepared.
Take off my blindfold.
PLACES!
FIRE!
Today our military is really foolish.
Exicuting someone protecting a friend.
Surely an extremely foolish move.
The situation is hopeless.
Accepting dying in vain?
Or
If you want to live you only have one path left.
Spy.
I'm Yuki from D Agency
Ex-Military cadet.
Strong sense of justice and soft-hearted.
Don't joke around Yuki-san.
I don't think this boy is suited for our D Agency.
Family broke up at a tender age.
No spouse and no next of kin.
Of course with just that he's ideal.
But foolishly he enlisted in the military.
To go so far as to bring in someone from the military
I'd never have thought they'd beak into D Agency.
Beckoning only to die in vain.
How long are you going to stand out there?
I'm coming in!
Starting today I'm at your service!
I've come prepared to throw away my life for my county!
Army infantry first regiment.
2nd battalion first company.
Correction!
The military you is dead.
This building's appearances was made to be a normal trade company.
We are part of the Army but no one knows about D Agency.
What about Lieutenant Colonel Yuki?
He was once an active international spy.
The intelligence agency felt it was necessary
to ignore the objection of the high-ups and establish D Agency
Don't call him Lieutenant Colonel here call him Yuki-san.
How many stairs did you just walk down?
Twenty-two.
From the bottom the 9th stair has a crack.
On the right railing there is a spot.
I see.
This is the trainee room.
What a stuffy appearance!
You look like military personnel.
He is military personnel.
Everyone here including me are civilians
There is not one from the military like you.
Let's start the test.
Where is Saipan?
It's not here.
It's missing and is ocean.
What items are on the table under the map?
Teacup.
Inkwell.
Two pens.
Book.
The title is Robinson Crusoe.
A match.
Ashtray.
Shikishima cigarette butts.
The shoji problem
7 - d Checkmate with gold.

The next test is
It's a waste of time.
From today he will be joining your training.
Got that?
When opening a safe or lock.
the most important thing is sound.
That and feeling with your fingers
It depends on your ears and fingers.
At the start I guess...
If you open it in 10 minutes it's good.
Amazing!
All counties have spies.
You must be an expert in all guns and weapons.
Those expertise must be driven into your head.
He's good!
A superior spy moves as one part of a division.
In the past a single spy has avoided a war.
And many times they end them too.
But that spy was captured by the enemy.
And they know who he is.
What do you do?
Kill the enemy or...
Self terminate
As expected Military-kun your head is empty.
Death is the worst option.
You must not give up till the end.
Whether self terminating or killing
Death at most will draw others attention.
Don't want any unnecessary inquiries
We'll lose the results we've gotten.
Therefore we teach you this at D Agency
Don't die!
Don't kill!
That was close.
I know why they scouted you from the military.
You're the one Yuki-san gets angry at.
Shall we play a game?
Standard play.
The stakes?
Our pride.
Can you do it?
Let's do it.
Pair of Aces.
Flush.
Two pairs.
I win.
Straight.
Queen is high.
What's wrong?
You're weak.
I win.
2 cards.
Cards open.
Jack card open.
I'll take your pride!
You lost again.
You're really weak Military-kun.
So that's how.
No one said this would be a normal game.
Our partner in the gallery tells us the other's cards.
But we don't know who is helping who.
Various information battle.
As an outsider only you didn't have a partner.
Just like Japan now.
I'm the Joker?
That's why we call it this.
If we finish our training
Possibly 10 or 20 years we can live out our lives.
Besides enemy infiltration there are duties you have to do.
So you without a family are needy.
You think those who can't tolerate solitude can be spies?
The sick friend you helped will be killed in action on the front line.
All alone, it must be lonely.
A surprise attack
Isn't civilized.
It's a declaration of war.
Who is the one that can't tolerate solitude?
Stop it!
For your mother who raised you alone you joined D Agency.
Something like that.
The one that's needy is you.
Cut the cord.
That's why I hate military people.
Don't talk like you know everything!
Don't die. Don't kill.
That was the problem before.
It's impossible for someone who has feelings to be a spy.
Live the rest of your life as you like.
Die as you like.
You're going?
Take care of your mother.
You should be careful.
That soft-heart will someday turn to resentment.
Colonel Howard Marks
British Intelligence
New model bomb.
This invention changes everything.
Japanese Army Headquarters
Colonel Takano Gentaro
Spies can change the situation.
As you were hoping for D Agency will steal the plans.
Got it?
Colonel Takano is different from his predecessor.
Use your strong point don't use clever lies.
If you fail then D Agency will close immediately.
In that case take responsibility and self terminate.
Spies are underhanded cowards.
They act in contrary to Bushido.
Naturally even without using you.
It is possible that the imperial army may lose.
Make no mistake in that.
On-site military police may take the plans before you.
Nevertheless we'll still get it.
Show me you can take it.
They don't understand the importance of intelligence.
They think they can win with only spiritualism.
Japanese Army Headquarters
Colonel Sasahara Shigenori
Every nation has been frantically searching for this.
Is there a chance of winning?
So far has there been a time we failed?
Their goal is the crush D Agency.
Even if it's going well they will intervene
I'm not scared of the unchanged military.
What's I'm scared of...
is who I appoint to this mission.
I was summoned by Yuki-san...
Your training is over.
From today your name will be Kato Jiro.
Where is the mission?
Accross the sea to a southern country.
Many countries interests are tied up there.
The embers of the World War still smolder, the Devil's Capitol.
There, a Jewish scientist who the German army captured
created the plans for a horrible new type of bomb.
New type of bomb?
But immediately following that those plans
Alias Black Note, were taken by someone.
That note
you will retrieve it.
Who has Black Note?
Appointed to another location American Ambassador Earnest Graham
Even though he hasn't finished his term of office.
Reports say he is suddenly going back to his country.
Don't be too impatient.
American Ambassador
Earnest Graham
Two weeks left.
A game until Graham leaves to return to America.
Copy Kato Jiro by tomorrow.
Already memorized it.
Kato Jiro from Hakata.
Along with his trader father he went to America in his teens.
After returning to Japan succeeded the family business but bankrupted.
A new land appealed to him.
Opening a photo studio overseas, a young business man.
3...2...1...
Getting close to Graham the first day would be sufficient.
That would be great, Kato-kun.
The players in the game are
America, Germany, The UK and the USSR.
Other countries catching wind of it is a possibility as well.
One more thing. there are some formidable guys.
Barbarians who like war of the sake of war.
They want to use this to close D Agency.
To get their hands on the plans
They would be willing to murder Graham.
If they do that then with America...
War....
Without killing or getting killed get the plans.
Sounds fun.
You have to become Japan's Joker.
Jitsui, Odagiri, Kato
Come back with black note.
I'm sorry!
I'll do it.
You cut your finger.
You're late reporting in.
Earnest Graham from the American west.
Poor growing up.
That complex can be seen in every part of his life.
Symbolically in his hats and umbrellas.
And he is obsessed with Chess.
Seems for his vulgar prosperity that it's a necessity.
In chess his player personality come out.
Graham is vain but a coward.
His disire for control is strong.
I'm getting close to finding the note.
I'm glad.
What I asked for?
Use it carefully.
The military police are getting more active.
We don't have time, hurry.
Tokyo - Asakusa
That's enough. Stop! Stop!
What are the on-site military police doing?
My apologizes soon they'll be prepare.
Don't fall behind!
D Agency beyond expectation work quickly.
Right.
Now!
Stand!
We heard you were banished from D Agency after a shooting incident.
That true?
Yes.
I was betrayed by a man name Yuki.
Don't be so formal.
We are on your side.
What do you want with me?
What is happening with the plans?
At home I have...
a poor mother.
We'll give you money.
Just tell us what you know.
The on-site British Intelligence Department caught wind of it.
The greatest spy organization in the world.
Taking the note from Graham
Is only a matter of time.
Quickly kill Graham and the others and take the note.
But the superiors....
I should wait for those coward's orders?
Only if we have the new bomb will the imperial army have certain victory.
Loyalty wins!
That cowardly bunch are more than just ranked higher.
Simply replacing the heads.
The government is the same!
Everyone of them is weak! It's revolting!
British Ambassador's residence
Take the plans by 0300
Kill any opposition along with Graham.
The fate of the great empire of Japan is on the line.
Understnad?
Yes!
You're in the way!
Move!
This isn't it...
Military police are useless.
Sleep till morning.

Amei!
Mama!
Thank you for last night.
A dangerous...
You're Japanese right? You have an accent.
Where is your birthplace?
I don't have one.
In Japan I don't have a place to return or family.
I've always been alone.
Just like me.
This is a nice studio.
So many wonderful photographs.
No matter what country you go...
families are something to be envious of, right?
Right.
If you want shall I can take one?
This is the last one.
Move your chin a little.
Please wait a minute.
I'm finished.
When they're developed I'll give them to you.
Can I keep this too?
Yes.
I'm happy.
Thank you.
Why are you living in that house?
Even with that happening...
If you want I could help-
Please stop!
'I'll take you with me to America.'
Graham told me that.
If I do as he says I will get American nationality.
I can have a place to return home to.
This is Grahams diary?
And the likelihood of it being written in special ink?
None.
He only writes about women.
Everywhere Graham goes
he deceives women telling them he'll take them to America.
He violates them
The women he insistently pursues
their unmoving bodies
he throws out.
That girl Rin is fated to that huh.
Taking such a worthless thing was a waste of time.
Use my tools for more important things!
Graham sets off for America in two days.
We don't have time.
There is a party tomorrow.
I'll get it then.
I can't forgive anymore failures.
Where is the note?
He's tired.
Let's let him sleep.
Who are you?
It's better if you don't ask.
Apart from that...here.
The ambassador won't take you with him to America.
He's deceiving you.
The place for you to return to
is not with him.
You should be happier.
To the corner of Web and Chanbai Street please.
Hurry!
I won't go back.
I don't want to go back.
I want to go somewhere else.
I'll take you to a truly worthy place.
Tomorrow morning at six at Pujon fish village.
Ok.
I promise.
To find you a place to return.
I'm happy.
We can't.
In the new place.
Next time.
I'm waiting for tomorrow morning.
Who are you working for?
The UK? Germany? the USSR?
What meaning is there working for a country?
Family or birthplace it's all muddled.
A country caring more for winning war than people should be destroyed.
Besides this note will turn into money.
Your aim is money?
I have to survive on my own.
That wrong?
You would have been dead in ten seconds what a waste.
British intelligence.
They're persistent.
Well then see you.
Her real name is Ono Mariko.
She's a spy without a country and lives for money.
Don't tell me you got trapped in a honey trap.
What happened to Black Note?
Don't underestimate me.
It's here.
Get in the car, mission complete.
Ignore her, hurry get in!
Hurry they'll...
British Intelligence Department
Stupid man.
In the unlikely event of capture in an enemy country.
And under torture.
Give into their coercion and suggest being a double agent.
Doing so the enemy country will absolutely use you.
They may want you to distribute false information
At that time you have a unique chance.
When sending secret code...
making typos or anything suspicious won't be tolerated.
Result, you only send secret code with no typos or missing words.
That's fine.
In the case of D Agency routine transmitted secret code
Intentionally making typos is mission procedure.
Meaning a flawless code is a false message.
At the same time
It's an SOS for help to free you from capture.
When aware of the SOS
A sleeping cooperative agent called 'sleepers' goes into action.
Normally loyal to their orginization but
only in a time of emergency will they help.
One type of double agent.
There for do not give up until the end.
Death is the worst
Option.
Stupid man.
I told you I would take you with me.
Right!
I wanted to take this back.
Now we're even.
You are really-
Soft-hearted
I know.
Anytime now I'd like to breath some fresh air.
Borrowing this.
Hey!
At exactly two hours after the SOS.
Rescue car is here.
2 more minutes.
Rescue car?
Are we really going to jump from here?
You still ok?
The bullet didn't hit right?
Hurry up and save me!
We jump in 10 seconds.
Ok?
I can't hold on!
A snugly bed is coming!
Now! Jump!
I dropped the picture.
I liked it.
I'll just take another one.
D Agency has retrieved Black Note.
The plans for the new bomb have been decoded.
What?This enormous development cost!
The possibility of successful development is 10%.
Bullshit!
If we had these funds we could make how many battle ships.
Think we can use this!
Who gave the order to retrieve Black Note?
You bastards
On your own you committed hostilities against British Intelligence.
With your ranking
What were you thinking?
Only choice is to take responsibility for it.
D Agency has retrieved something like this.
Quickly kill Graham and the others and take the note.
But the superiors....
I should wait for those coward's orders?
Only if we have the new bomb will the imperial army have certain victory.
Loyalty wins!
That cowardly bunch are more than just ranked higher.
Simply replacing the heads.
The government is the same!
Everyone of them is weak! It's revolting!
This would certainly lead to a court-martial.
If the superiors heard this what would happen?
Who the hell..?
Arriving exactly 2 hours later, as expected Military-kun.
What's more amazingly you were with a princess.
I went against the savage military personal.
I'm jealous of your mission.
Don't tell me you're old mother?
I was born in Paris and raised in Venice.
So rich that I hate my family.
Now let's change cars.
Hey! You're still alive.
He seems fine above all.
Have to restock the good fireproof sheets.
My hair is a little burnt though.
Hurry they're coming.
English gentlemen are punctual.
Make that persistent.
I still don't want to die.
This is your fault.
A job that's easier on life.
Kato-kun!
Is it ok? the Princess?
We were deceived.
My spy tools!
There it goes. What a waste.
Well here you go.
What's up Kato?
or rather already 'Nakane'?
Next stop America.
I'm off to France.
Germany.
Hard driving General
We're going to go fast.
Hold tight!
Notice from the Department of the Army.
Next term the budget for D Agency is increasing.
Next term?
That's slow.
Bastard is that what you wanted from the start?
Do you think letting the new bomb go to the enemy is better?
Any time now our humanity
I don't think can manage a thing like that.
It's like opening Pandora's box.
They may die next.
I hope you're joking.
Yuki!
Do you think Japan will survive this war?
If you let our D Agency handle it.
Possibly...
