While Amano has had to be rescued by Sailor V from minions of the Dark Agency, he has also seemed to avoid falling into traps by the Dark Agency. It is usually after he accidently discovers the Dark Agent's plot where Sailor V has to rescue him. In one case, he even had a chance working directly with Sailor V when she got trapped in a video game and he took the video game controls, playing as Sailor V, directing her moves and defeating the youma in the video game.
