Summary

'The Enemy' gives the message that humanism rises above all man-made biases and hindrances. Dr Sadao maintains the morals of therapeutic calling in treating an adversary. The story is an incredible exercise of harmony, love, sensitivity, individual inclination and humanism.

Sadao was a Japanese specialist. He contemplated in America and came back with Hana, a Japanese young lady whom he met there, and wedded her in Japan and settled down easily. While the vast majority of the specialists were sent to serve the Japanese armed force in the World War II, Sadao was permitted to remain home since he was needed by the old General who was biting the dust.

However, one night into his uneventful life came an American Navy-man, shot, injured and kicking the bucket. In spite of the fact that reluctant to encourage his foe, Sadao brought the youthful officer into his home and furnished him with the therapeutic guide. He was in risk from that minute. Before long his workers left him. Dr Sadao saw that the officer was getting great and completely okay. When his patient was no more needing him, the specialist ended up being his professional killer, contriving to slaughter him in his rest. 

He educated the General of the American and the General guaranteed, he would send his private men to slaughter the American. Sadao anticipated the American's demise each morning however to his agony the man was as yet alive, more beneficial and presenting peril to him. Now Sadao turns into the genuine man in him, a genuine person who understands the basic worth of human life and general fraternity. He supposes past nations and landmasses and races and wars. He finds no motivation to trust that the American is his adversary. Sadao salvages the American. Hence Sadao transcends thin biases and acts in a genuinely philanthropic manner.
