One the greatest episodes of the series, when Tony and Doug landed in Japanese Island in March 17th 1945 when the WWII coming close, unfortunately Tony sprains his ankle in the fall, they walking around and find out a little shaky whereof is a kind of an observation spot from Japanese Army which had a radio to warning Japanese forces if it's needing for and meet an old and harmless Sgt. Itsugi (Kam Tong) that so friendly bandaged Tony's ankle.
Suddenly appears a kamikaze pilot Lt. Nakamura (Mako) from out of nowhere defying ours heroes for a fight, firstly with injured Tony, always stating both as "Joe" claiming himself that all Americans guys is just "Joe", after won a fight between Tony with bamboo sticks, he changes his mind and decides leave them at forest to aftermaths hunting them at your manner.
Doug wisely seeks behind of the shaky a storage of munition, taking many garnets in order to use when the crazy Nakamura finds them, meanwhile in Time Tunnel Complex Col. Kirk demands that some Japanese official at Japan's Emabassy could help them, Dr. Nakamura (Philip Ahn) appears and can recognize the island to ascertain the exactly coordinates to be able to transfer Tony and Doug before the island can be bombed by both enemies in south Pacific.
However Dr. Nakamura didn't had good memories from such place, because his son previously schooled in America and became a kamikaze pilot had failed in his mission, aftermath was dishonored by own father a Naval Officer who ordered left him there to made Hara-kiri by his cowardliness.
Thus the behavior of Lt. Nakamura explains itself why he defied Tony and Doug, he wants to die with honor at least, the fabulous Mako had a stunning acting as Lt. Nakamura, portraying a mad kamikaze soldier that stolen the show for yourself, one my favorite episode.
