Spy agent title full#

Full Metal Panic! lampshades this in the case of Sousuke Sagara, who attends school under his true name and makes little effort to hide his past as a Child Soldier adopted by Former Regime Personnel despite the fact that he's supposed to be Kaname's secret bodyguard.It is an antique and rare Porsche 356, which is something so unique that no one can possibly miss, even if they are completely car-dumb.

Said Porsche is not a 911, which is cool but fairly common and well-recognized.

Members of the Black Organization in Case Closed are supposed to be so secretive almost no one knows the organization exists, yet they always wear black suits and/or Conspicuous Trenchcoats and one of its members drives a damn Porsche everywhere.

The general consensus is that, after decades of killing people for money, Duke's untouchable and he knows it.

Golgo 13 is known in civilian life as Duke Togo.

In addition, spies really do introduce themselves as their real names as James Bond does, because having a fake name is a good way to get caught.Īn obsolete version of this is the supposedly-inconspicuous trenchcoat, fedora and shades, or the slightly less outdated black suit, tie, and shades, both of which most modern audiences would describe straight away as ' a spy outfit'. Naturally, this also helps to avert You Just Told Me and related slip-ups that might get you caught out. This is for the very simple reason that it's far easier to get caught out in a lie if you are lying all the time, whereas you are more likely to be trusted (and thus do your job better) if a suspicious opponent digs into your backstory and finds that it's everything you said it was. As a matter of fact, this is often Truth in Television- Real Life spies will deny or cover up the fact that they are spies, but otherwise they will try to keep their cover-story as near to the truth as possible (as permitted by the circumstances).
