James subdues Henderson's killer, then takes his place and infiltrates Osato Chemicals to find more information. However, Henderson is stabbed to death before he can reveal more. Henderson theorizes that a third power is using Osato Chemicals, a vast multinational corporation, to launch spacecraft from Japan to attack US and Russian space crafts and trigger war between the two superpowers. One, a beautiful woman named Aki, takes him to the home of Dikko Henderson, a British intelligence official living in Japan who has discovered information about the rogue spacecraft. He is ordered to Japan to meet with members of Japan's SIS. His assassination in Hong Kong was a ruse to trick his enemies into believing he was dead so he can continue his mission undetected. As soon as Bond's casket hits the sea floor, it is retrieved by MI6 agents and taken to a submerged submarine, whereupon the casket is opened and a healthy Bond emerges. News is made of Bond's death, and he has a funeral by being buried at sea. When the police arrive, the woman has disappeared and Bond is found dead. Two men burst into the room with machine guns and spray the bed. She leaves the bed and pushes a button that levers it into the wall.

In Hong Kong, MI6 agent James Bond is enjoying a romantic encounter with a Chinese woman. Great Britain, however, believes the alien ship landed in the Sea of Japan based on tracking of the ship from a station in Singapore and that a British official in Hong Kong is following this lead.

The US believes the pirate spacecraft is Russian in origin, having tracked the ship in orbit before it ventured into the atmosphere the US is to launch another capsule in three weeks and will regard interference with the ship as an act of war, and will launch a military attack on Russia should the capsule come under attack itself. Radio contact is lost and the spacecraft opens up and swallows Jupiter 16, in the process severing the other astronaut's lifeline and leaving him to die in space.Ī contentious meeting between US and Soviet diplomats follows, brokered by a member of Britain's foreign service. As they maintain radio contact with bases in Hawaii and Houston, one of the astronauts ventures outside to make routine repairs, when radar picks up another spacecraft closing fast. Orbiting over the Earth is Jupiter 16, a US space capsule manned by two astronauts. This film reveals the features of Blofeld, who was previously a partially-unseen character. With one side blaming the other, and an American moonshot just a few days away, Bond goes undercover on a remote Japanese island with local agent Kissy Suzuki, to find the perpetrators, bringing him face to face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Russian spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. Connery later returned officially, one last time, in Diamonds Are Forever (1971). After its release in 1967, Connery stepped down from the role, leading to the hiring of George Lazenby for 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979's Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. Significantly, however, the film depicts Bond's first meeting with Blofeld, whereas the novel depicted a later encounter, due to the films not following the books' publication order. No and Goldfinger had taken liberties with the source material, You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to deviate substantially from the original novel, although it retained many of the characters and the Japanese setting of the original.
