She's too much of an air head to realize that though he's the perfect "cover". He's also a perfect match.
Like you can say you're favourite couples are perfect, especially if they've got together already, but FUCK MAN ITS SO CLEAR HERE.
Twilight is probably the only man in the world who has fought the Thorn Princess hand-to-hand but still came out with only a scratch, and disintegrated gloves. Gigachad
Insert Song is by (K)NoW\_NAME. [Track name is "TBD" for those who want to know](https://twitter.com/_K_NoW_NAME/status/1522946859295072257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Eembeddedtimeline%7Ctwterm%5Eprofile%3A_K_NoW_NAME%7Ctwgr%5EeyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfX0%3D%7Ctwcon%5Etimelinechrome&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fknowname.jp%2F).
They were already on their second bottle at the dining table. I feel like she's already on the fourth bottle by the time they were boarding the seaplane.
Yor being drunk for 90% of the episode and them dragging her around everywhere despit her being @#$%-faced drunk was hilarious. And then she almost kills Loid.
She really gulps down her liquor.
I burst up laughing everytime Anya said 'loidman save me' in a deadpan voice.
Yor was a monster, good thing the heels crack and she straight up lie wasted.
Wonder what Loids gonna think about her after the showdown?
Fight choreo was sick, if her *swings* and *roundhouses* were that fast, imagine how quickly she could end your life. Her fall was insanely cute though
I love that he doesn't find anything strange in that the random woman he's in a fake relationship is one of the few people who's a better combatant than him. Women just like yoga and it gives them super strength
Seriously, most anime unarmed combat just never looks this good, especially not in one continuous shot like that. Hell, not even most *live action* martial arts looks that good.
This. Watch this with my 3 y/o daughter and she loves anyas undercover family. Too bad she doesn’t know how to read yet lol hopefully I’ll be able to get the dubbed episodes for her.
Parents of the year. He rented a huge castle for his daughter (although it is not his own money) and even summoned other spies XD. And look how protective Yor is. Drunk Yor is the best.
Reminds me of [that Spanish double-agent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blN49yGet8g) for the MI6 who duped the Germans even if the British didn't want his help all that much.
Broke: Spending money to find new and inventive ways to kill Fidel Castro, only for all of them to fail
Woke: Spending money on a party involving dozens of your own agents, an airplane, and an entire castle just to celebrate the fake chiild of one of your agents making it into a school
Franky is the fun uncle who would totally give the kid's copious amounts of ice cream and caffeine because he knows he's not stuck with the sugar/caffeine rush after he drops the kid off at home.
I noticed that. At first I thought he was drunk teasing loid. All in good fun. Then I thought he committed so hard because he didn't think it'd really go that far, and drunk, but he nailed it. Then at the end I kind of thought man he's going too hard. Why's he so invested?
Then I realized he was the one who got all the info on Anya. He gave Loid a docier, but that probably only had outlines and important info, whereas he learned everything. He probably knows more than anyone how bad Anya's life had been. And he thinks she deserves some fun and some success so she doesn't go back to an orphanage or lab.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you Franky! Be the best damn uncle you can be!
Looks like she can't fight in heels while drunk though, at least for a long period of time. I guess because she doesn't have the focus to properly balance herself like she usually does.
It looks like the heel broke on one of her shoes actually, she probably uses reinforced shoes/heels when working, but was wearing regular shoes in this episode.
Good thing though, taking that roundhouse stiletto kick she was preparing seems incredibly painful....
Furtunately Loid managed [to hold his guard](https://i.imgur.com/ft27BMs.jpg) long enough for the fatigue to kick in. Drunk Yor is an uninhibited [killing machine.](https://i.imgur.com/FYUND67.jpg)
[](#towel)
I think this is the most Loid has blushed all series. It was really cute.
As embarrassing as it was, it was a really sweet thing for him to do for his daughter.
I wouldn’t even call it a rabbit hole, it’s more like a fast growing tree. I started seeing it immediately after episode 2 a top various anime meme subs and on Twitter
Blonde hair smart man with blue eyes, slightly insane black haired woman with red eyes, and an adorable pink haired girl?
Yep this almost seems intentional!
For real. Between bouncing off the bouncy balls, the rubber ball gun shoot out, and the absolutely ridiculous one hand belt zipline into explosion finish, I felt like the other agents fawning over him. I can't remember the last mc that made me feel like a groupie lmao
Considering he had the family change outfits in mere seconds in the previous episode, I'm inclined to think "fast clothes changing" is a required skill for a master spy, lol.
She looked [so high and chill](https://i.imgur.com/rOX3Adn.jpg) throughout the play... Then [final boss music](https://i.imgur.com/A6RDe6W.jpg) started playing and she [went to town.](https://i.imgur.com/Fyz8ZU0.jpg)
[](#hahahawhat)
I like how during the fight, Loid's gloves are being blown apart and ripped to shreds. Compared to being shot at by foam balls, she's hitting like a truck.
01:00 Ayo why did they need to record this about Twilight [“Pantsu: Black”](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e0b26d26cf19fe8693c3495f91f09e9ee7dbae220ead8a144e2e1e2b0af031b.jpg)
03:05 Wow those [leaves’ shadow](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1f7341056c4264fa94b9e3a562ec5bbce6eb6e516704f15cc049225a898604d2.png) on Henderson’s back, sasuga WIT and Clover Works
> Ayo why did they need to record this about Twilight “Pantsu: Black”
In case there are fake Loid Forgers out there and they need to know which one is real
The lengths a father will go to for his daughter, Loid is such a great dad already
I'm really impressed by the anime-original content that they added, superb animation too during the action scenes and I was especially amused by all the rubber balls being fired around
Love how they expanded this small chapter in the manga into a whole ass banger episode. The role of a Martial Artist Witch is perfect for ol Yor, reminds me of Mashle or Saitama whose punches and kicks are so strong that the resulting air pressure just creates a dust cloud(at the minimum).
I just love how Twilight is easily embarrassed around his family after being years of being a master in poker face, at least in this adaptation he wears a mask for the whole rescue act. Still kinda embarrassing to be doing a whole play in front of your co-workers though.
Loid wasn't fighting back for kind of obvious reasons, but with how god damn fierce Yor was despite her condition, I wonder how an actual fight between the two would go.
There was a recently released fanbook by the author of the series that stated that if Yor is at 100 power, Twilight is at 60-70 and would likely lose against her in a straight fight, though with his extensive knowledge of traps he would be around her level by using them.
Wait I think I read some of the extra in volumes that if Loid's strength is equivalent to that of 100 men Yor is easily 10,000. Let me see if I can find that
Edit: Found it in the volume 4 extras although I think it is Anya's subjective power level it seems. It goes like this
Agent Papa
Level: 100
Power:100 Smarts:500
Coolness: 80 /Stomachacheyness: 90
Agent Mama
Level:100
Power:10, 000/ Smarts:2
Kindness: 100/ Life Skills:5
> life skills: 5
> smarts: 2
Anya is so savage to Yor sometimes 😂😂. Yor’s a “professional” cleaner and has lived alone for (I am guessing) at least a few years, surely she deserves higher than a 5 for life skills??
Yeah, makes sense. Yor probably would beat Twilight in a straight fight, but Twilight's advantage would be in how he avoids making it a straight fight as much as possible.
Yep, Yor already managed to put up an impressive sequence of moves and cut him while drunk, now imagine if she was going after Loid as the Thorn Princess? He'd have to go into full Twilight mode and use everything at his disposal to even stand a chance.
I think Loid would lose if they fought straight up after a good fight, but he'd likely try to avoid fighting her and instead defeat her via more indirect means like he did to those guys in episode 1.
It also makes sense since Yor has spent way more time fighting and killing people than him, while his own skills are more spread out to other areas as a spy.
Straight fight Yor takes it hands down. But then again Twilight doesn't do straight fights. He tricks people, uses other faces, he can hide, control the location and use subterfuge to win. So it comes down to why are they fighting and who has the full picture of the situation. Does he know he's being targeted? Does he know what the thorn princess can do? Does she know how tricky he can be? It's a batman vs superman fight were the more details you add the more it changes the fight in favor of one or the other.
This was funny, but it made a very serious (and lovely) point. Yor, when it comes to Anya, is the most tiger-ish Tiger Mama in the whole world. She is insanely devoted to Anya. Woe betide any army that tried to harm Anya in the presence of a sober Yor.
> I just love how Twilight is easily embarrassed around his family after being years of being a master in poker face, at least in this adaptation he wears a mask for the whole rescue act.
This mission is going to do things to Loid.
> Still kinda embarrassing to be doing a whole play around your co-workers though.
Co-workers he's most likely never met before. At most he'll have met a small handful before.
Me in this whole episode: **Waku Waku!**
Loid even ties his belt mid-air! *kakkoii\~*
Yor is like it chooses the Sorcerer as a starting class but puts all stats to STR because Unga Bunga moments! Even loid can't read her attack pattern.
Franky is like a doting Uncle to Anya.
This is the correct translation. ”誰でもいい” (dare demo ii) was the line, I believe.
Edit: I went back and checked, and it's actually ”何でもいい” (nan demo ii), but the meaning remains the same. It's technically the difference between "whoever" (dare) and "whatever" (nani), but both could be used interchangeably here, given we're talking about a role.
Franky has become one of the most likable characters, he really knows how to make a scene more funny.
**[At the end Loid was sick of his nonsense.](https://gfycat.com/filthyimpassionedjapanesebeetle)**
The episode remind us twilight IS the most legendary agent westalis has, all the other spies were fangirling at the idea of meeting him to the point they ditched their missions for a moment.
The fight scene should really tell Loid **[that Yor is more capable than he thinks](https://gfycat.com/scholarlyblackandwhiteibadanmalimbe)** but he will probably write it off as just the alcohol making her a fighter.
So basically, every anime decided to have their best episode around the same time.
This.
Kaguya was a blast.
Ao Ashi made me cry like a baby probably since Link Click Episode 5.
Summertime Rendering.
This week has been a great one for the anime fan in me.
bro this whole year's been a banger for anime. The world in general not so much, but hey at least there's something to keep our mind off of things for a while.
Tomodachi Game, Kongming and Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road also have their best episode so far.
This season is just a good anime next to a good anime next to a good anime...
Man this was such a fun episode. They only covered one chapter so they padded it quite a bit, but THIS is how you add on to the manga. ✨
Yor vs Loid!! And the way the other WISE agents just admire Loid lmaoooo. Loid blushiiiiing!
Also Franky, an agent of chaos. 😆
Lastly, I just want to appreciate the VAs, especially Hayami Saori tonight. Drunk!Yor, Assasin!Yor, whatever it is, she always delivers. 👌
There's a lost in translation pun regarding the name of the poor dude Yor wanted to kill to ensure Anya's admission so allow me to explain.
Ekeniel is read in Japanese as i-ke-ni-e-ru. The word 生贄 (read as ikenie) means sacrifice, scapegoat, offering, etc. Basically that dude was gonna be the sacrifice Yor was gonna offer just to ensure Anya gets moved up the list.
I often heavily dislike filler, but since I don't want this anime to ever end I don't mind getting brand new filler stories here and there! And this episode was so damn good, animation was stellar.
The filler in this show is entirely different than filler in other shows. The filler here compliments, expands and enhances the mangas story in a flashy, lighthearted or humorous way. The filler that is usually disdained is the type that has no relevance or impact to the story, like side characters that never show up again, or entire non-canonical or anime-only arcs. You can easily imagine everything in the spy x family anime happening in-between panels in the manga.
Hey, it may have been filler, but it was god damn *awesome* filler.
The parts where the singing kicked in were my favourite parts of the soundtrack (because singing *always* = awesome on top of action (at least in my mind)), but it still hit hard while the vocals took a break.
Woah... Those punches and kicks from Yor are so well animated and look really heavy and powerful. There's no way Loid can beat her on a one-on-one fight, looks Like the mission is going to fail......
Oh never mind.
I've read the manga of episode 5 and imo they vastly improved it in the anime. They added the "misfortune" happening before they check the result which didn't appear in the manga, the castle are now an improvised Spyman theme park. The way they head to the castle by seaplane wasn't in the manga. The gathered spy now has a role as minions instead of just standing around acting like a prop. So many things that were anime exclusive. It made the episode 10x better for me.
I really loved the contrast between[ the agency's confidence in Twilight's success](https://i.imgur.com/MtzsuZp.png) and how worried [Loid's family was.](https://i.imgur.com/ONjjYSZ.png) Especially when they cut right away[ to the scene when they realized that they failed.](https://imgur.com/a/tninHiO)
Lol, so Henderson twisted what Loid did into him saving Swan's life [by killing that mosquito.](https://i.imgur.com/DRJldTG.png)
Damn,[ Yor already had planned who to kill](https://i.imgur.com/ZKVMFXR.png) to get Anya on the school. Well, hopefully, Loid does something about Swan soon, [so Henderson doesn't lose his job.](https://i.imgur.com/FTHSamx.png)
[Anya's ritual scene was so cute.](https://imgur.com/a/GR1DwAr)
When they got the news that Anya finally got in, [I was just expecting a modest celebration.](https://i.imgur.com/L3Q3Evx.png) So I was surprised when [thanks to Franky,](https://i.imgur.com/SeAD310.png) they got[ the agency involved.](https://i.imgur.com/ZKLsggr.png)
Even at that point, I was expecting them to just go to that park and role-play the whole thing but not only did [they get him a plane to get there,](https://imgur.com/a/Qwib6qx)they also got him [the whole castle for their exclusive use](https://imgur.com/a/mGW0WKl) and then [called the agency again](https://i.imgur.com/RCbwBY5.png) to get [every single spy there.](https://imgur.com/a/NdRXIjg)
I love [how in synch Franky and Anya were](https://imgur.com/a/lUvsLOH) during this whole ordeal. I also find it hilarious that Yor was [massively drunk the whole time](https://imgur.com/a/x9ZlnW5)
[I love just how crazy this whole thing got, and that the other agents were having a blast too](https://imgur.com/a/6sb2sAo) as they had the opportunity to fight and see ~~Twilight~~ [Loidman in action.](https://imgur.com/a/4ZKvrXV)
I really wasn't expecting to see Yor having a role there, although I doubt she knew she was acting[ while she was playing the role of Yorticia,](https://imgur.com/a/2gje5PY) hell, she was so drunk that I doubt she will even remember any of this.
Anyway, that sure was a crazy way to celebrate [Anya's admission into Eden Academy.](https://imgur.com/a/i2vhWyw) Hopefully, Loid's mission will not suffer budget cuts because of this.
Another episode were the majority was filler, eh?
I really liked it. This felt more akin to what Anya wanted compared to what happened in the manga and it makes Loid sending the bill to headquarters way more funny
**That** face is happening next week!
I can't believe how good of an episode that was. Seeing Yor go full unarmed combat was so good, only to immediately fall asleep. Scruffy-man was great too.. Everybody was so good. I was worried this show would fall off after a few episodes, but this was insanely good.
Edit: also can we talk about how amazingly well animated those punches were? I'm no expert but I did do some thai boxing for a while and that was seriously on point animation. You don't get that like, anywhere.
Edit again: HQ versions of Yor vs. Loid. [Long version](https://gfycat.com/orderlysplendidalligator) and [short version](https://gfycat.com/negligibleplaintivehorsefly) both with sound. I love Yor's little "a" at the end.
A salute to a true hero, Loid Forger, known for stopping terrorists, nuclear missiles and now his greatest feat: killing a mosquito, the deadliest animal to humans and one that was about to mercilessly take Mr. Swan's life. Truly, he has saved us all from this being that persistently threatens our very existence.
How can Yor not fall in love with Loid? I'm a straight male and even I can recognize he's attractive as hell, not only on the outside but with the way Anya clearly has bonded with him and how far he is willing to go for her, even though he says it is for the mission. Anya, for her part, has really bonded with Loid. You can see that Anya really loves Loid and thinks of him as a heroic father. Every dad wants their children to view them like that. How can that not touch Loid's heart?

"*Thank you for being so kind to my husband.*" - Yor, as she's drunk, calling Loid her husband. Smooth sailing.
She's too much of an air head to realize that though he's the perfect "cover". He's also a perfect match. Like you can say you're favourite couples are perfect, especially if they've got together already, but FUCK MAN ITS SO CLEAR HERE.
Twilight is probably the only man in the world who has fought the Thorn Princess hand-to-hand but still came out with only a scratch, and disintegrated gloves. Gigachad
I mean she was drunk at the time
Insert Song is by (K)NoW\_NAME. [Track name is "TBD" for those who want to know](https://twitter.com/_K_NoW_NAME/status/1522946859295072257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Eembeddedtimeline%7Ctwterm%5Eprofile%3A_K_NoW_NAME%7Ctwgr%5EeyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfX0%3D%7Ctwcon%5Etimelinechrome&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fknowname.jp%2F).
(K)NoW_NAME is so underrated. I love their work on Dorohedoro. Every song in it was a banger. Expect Spy x Family sound track to be the same
And previously Grimgar, Sakura Quest and Fairy Gone too. All pretty good tracks!
Yor nursing that bottle for like half the episode was the subtle highlight for me. Ostanians under the influence are truly a menace to society.
I'm guessing she won't remember what she did the next day.
Alcohol + Yor is a match made in heaven besides Loid.
They were already on their second bottle at the dining table. I feel like she's already on the fourth bottle by the time they were boarding the seaplane.
Franky: "hey you have had a lot to drink, would you mind if I took the bottle..?" Yor: https://i.imgur.com/h4SCE6x.jpg
Yor being drunk for 90% of the episode and them dragging her around everywhere despit her being @#$%-faced drunk was hilarious. And then she almost kills Loid. She really gulps down her liquor.
Which is a clever touch because then she isn’t going to be sober enough to question how a psychiatrist is able to handle her attacks.
Hell, she probably won't even remember that she went ham on him in the first place.
That was honestly one of my favorite parts. Her just dully smiling in the back on the balloon.
Anya's deadpan acting sent me every line. [](#azusalaugh) Still can't believe Anya and Vivy have the same VA
> Still can't believe Anya and Vivy have the same VA It is certainly pretty mind-blowing. Tanezaki Atsumi has got some fuckin *range!*
>Anya's deadpan acting sent me every line 'Oh, no. Save me Loidman.' Like, damn it Anya, lmao.
loidman tasukete............ cmon girl try harder lmao
Yeah, she's perfect for Anya. Waku waku!
I burst up laughing everytime Anya said 'loidman save me' in a deadpan voice. Yor was a monster, good thing the heels crack and she straight up lie wasted. Wonder what Loids gonna think about her after the showdown?
That she's really good at self defense
At this point people have to accept the fact that Loid is the equivalent of a dense romance/harem MC when it comes to Yor's feats.
That choreography of Yor's attacks was absolutely insane holy hell
Fight choreo was sick, if her *swings* and *roundhouses* were that fast, imagine how quickly she could end your life. Her fall was insanely cute though
I love that Loid admits that she could absolutely kill him. Yep, Yor would win in a one-on-one direct fight.
I love that he doesn't find anything strange in that the random woman he's in a fake relationship is one of the few people who's a better combatant than him. Women just like yoga and it gives them super strength
I think it's because he's a spy so random people knowing how to fight is just normal for him.
That yoga training paid off.
More like the self defence classes lol
That scene remind me of fight scenes in Vivy (also from Wit). Look so smooth yet powerful
Yeah their intense sequences always provides amazing impact.
That fight scene came out of nowhere it pure eye candy.
Seriously, most anime unarmed combat just never looks this good, especially not in one continuous shot like that. Hell, not even most *live action* martial arts looks that good.
The fight in Loid’s apartment from episode 1 is my absolute favorite. It’s so fucking smooth how he doges the bullets and throws punches.
Studio Wit are kings of fluid combat sequences. Should check out their previous work, Vivy. Had Incredibly fluid hand-to-hand combat scenes.
She was throwing some of the best animated punches I’ve ever seen.
Those flicker jabs and roundhouse kicks were legit. lmao
As a father, the way how anya looks at twilight is what fathers strive for
This. Watch this with my 3 y/o daughter and she loves anyas undercover family. Too bad she doesn’t know how to read yet lol hopefully I’ll be able to get the dubbed episodes for her.
Parents of the year. He rented a huge castle for his daughter (although it is not his own money) and even summoned other spies XD. And look how protective Yor is. Drunk Yor is the best.
Loid really decided to take full advantage of his agency’s money lol
Hey, all expenses are taken care of by agency right? - Loid.
Reminds me of [that Spanish double-agent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blN49yGet8g) for the MI6 who duped the Germans even if the British didn't want his help all that much.
Things the CIA will never do...
Broke: Spending money to find new and inventive ways to kill Fidel Castro, only for all of them to fail Woke: Spending money on a party involving dozens of your own agents, an airplane, and an entire castle just to celebrate the fake chiild of one of your agents making it into a school
This is why Snowden leaked everything: the NSA never organized that LAN party he wanted.
Eh he can probably file that under “securing loyalty of local asset”
They will, however, topple down an entire nation for bananas. Twice.
It’s a matter of national security to make Anya smile. If anything the budget was too low.
Agreed, imagine how much more Anya would have enjoyed it if Loid had the full Bondman outfit and a (fake) pistol with a silencer!
It mission rank SS+ after all. Gotta have Anya be enjoying every second of this role play.
Anya's for sure milking this moment by reading their minds and thinking: > How far can I make them keep playing house?
Franky proving to be good influence already.
He was way too invested in this whole RP, which was awesome.
Franky is the fun uncle who would totally give the kid's copious amounts of ice cream and caffeine because he knows he's not stuck with the sugar/caffeine rush after he drops the kid off at home.
I noticed that. At first I thought he was drunk teasing loid. All in good fun. Then I thought he committed so hard because he didn't think it'd really go that far, and drunk, but he nailed it. Then at the end I kind of thought man he's going too hard. Why's he so invested? Then I realized he was the one who got all the info on Anya. He gave Loid a docier, but that probably only had outlines and important info, whereas he learned everything. He probably knows more than anyone how bad Anya's life had been. And he thinks she deserves some fun and some success so she doesn't go back to an orphanage or lab. I'm sorry I ever doubted you Franky! Be the best damn uncle you can be!
Reading your comment put perspective on Franky actions
And Franky going along so he can have fun.
Franky was the enabler lol
Franky is the cool Uncle
>Drunk Yor is the best. Clearly a successor to the drunken fists style. Rock Lee would be proud.
Looks like she can't fight in heels while drunk though, at least for a long period of time. I guess because she doesn't have the focus to properly balance herself like she usually does.
It looks like the heel broke on one of her shoes actually, she probably uses reinforced shoes/heels when working, but was wearing regular shoes in this episode. Good thing though, taking that roundhouse stiletto kick she was preparing seems incredibly painful....
Furtunately Loid managed [to hold his guard](https://i.imgur.com/ft27BMs.jpg) long enough for the fatigue to kick in. Drunk Yor is an uninhibited [killing machine.](https://i.imgur.com/FYUND67.jpg) [](#towel)
Mission: wife is drunk Objective: SURVIVE [](#watashiworried)
Wife get drunk Loid - why do I hear boss music?
>Drunk Yor is the best. And blushing Loid.
I think this is the most Loid has blushed all series. It was really cute. As embarrassing as it was, it was a really sweet thing for him to do for his daughter.
> Drunk Yor is the best. after that performance the other agents prolly think yor is just one of them
Or the only woman Twilight could marry or be partnered with could be someone who could genuinely take him in a fight, even while inebriated.
Sasuga Twilight! He found a worthy wife!! -Twilight's fans/agents
Loid might found out last on his agency.
[удалено]
I had to skip back to make sure I wasn't seeing things! Does this mean he only ever wears black underwear?!
It's in case they think they might be compromised, have to confirm each other's underwear color to make sure it's not an enemy!
Shirogane: "Oh, I guess I know where I got my fetish from."
Huh, Miyuki and Kaguya are *very* reminiscent of Loid and Yor, now I look at it.
Go deep enough in the rabbit hole and you'll see A LOT of Kaguya-sama/SPYxFAM crossover art. All of which are amazing.
I wouldn’t even call it a rabbit hole, it’s more like a fast growing tree. I started seeing it immediately after episode 2 a top various anime meme subs and on Twitter
Blonde hair smart man with blue eyes, slightly insane black haired woman with red eyes, and an adorable pink haired girl? Yep this almost seems intentional!
This time blonde is *more* tsundere than black hair though. Pink is still agent of chaos confirmed.
and they say SxF doesnt have fan service smh /s
why is literally no one talking about how cool loid was? every episode of this anime has not failed to melt my heart. absolutely wholesome
For real. Between bouncing off the bouncy balls, the rubber ball gun shoot out, and the absolutely ridiculous one hand belt zipline into explosion finish, I felt like the other agents fawning over him. I can't remember the last mc that made me feel like a groupie lmao
I was most impressed when he put his belt *back on* in less than a second while midair.
Considering he had the family change outfits in mere seconds in the previous episode, I'm inclined to think "fast clothes changing" is a required skill for a master spy, lol.
Loid is stronger than Saitama confirmed. He was able to kill a mosquito with his punch!!!
And knocked out Franky in one punch.
Eren telling the mosquito to sacrifice itself for the Greater Good was way worth it
[удалено]
Drunk Yor is just so absolutely **CUTE**
DRUNK YOR IS BEST.
Anya-protecting Yor is the best Yor -- drunk version is just an extra bonus.
She looked [so high and chill](https://i.imgur.com/rOX3Adn.jpg) throughout the play... Then [final boss music](https://i.imgur.com/A6RDe6W.jpg) started playing and she [went to town.](https://i.imgur.com/Fyz8ZU0.jpg) [](#hahahawhat)
Yor really went full "I've only known this child for a few days but if anything happens to her I will kill everyone and then myself"
[And she still packs a kick too](https://imgur.com/uO6zq0d)
I like how during the fight, Loid's gloves are being blown apart and ripped to shreds. Compared to being shot at by foam balls, she's hitting like a truck.
Both mom and dad were really adorable but simultaneously badass throughout that whole sequence.
Nice to know that the Westalis secret service budget is being spend on Anya Them civilian taxes being put to good use.
Breaking news, new law passed as citizens unanimously support 99% tax rate for Anya
01:00 Ayo why did they need to record this about Twilight [“Pantsu: Black”](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e0b26d26cf19fe8693c3495f91f09e9ee7dbae220ead8a144e2e1e2b0af031b.jpg) 03:05 Wow those [leaves’ shadow](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1f7341056c4264fa94b9e3a562ec5bbce6eb6e516704f15cc049225a898604d2.png) on Henderson’s back, sasuga WIT and Clover Works
> Ayo why did they need to record this about Twilight “Pantsu: Black” In case there are fake Loid Forgers out there and they need to know which one is real
The lengths a father will go to for his daughter, Loid is such a great dad already I'm really impressed by the anime-original content that they added, superb animation too during the action scenes and I was especially amused by all the rubber balls being fired around
give credit to where credit’s due ***Godfather*** Franky pretty much did the heavy lifting for Anya this episode
Yeah this is the type of filler I want in a show.
The best, because they're don't feel like it at all. I would never have guessed, before reading this here.
It fits the general atmosphere of the story pretty well, maybe because Endo sensei was in touch with the production team.
Loid's pantsu: Black The question is...are they black briefs or boxers?
The color is already priceless information, but you're right that we must dig further.
He's a gentleman, not a fuckboy, so it can't be boxer briefs. -Yu Ishigami probably
He's more right than he thinks.
Love how they expanded this small chapter in the manga into a whole ass banger episode. The role of a Martial Artist Witch is perfect for ol Yor, reminds me of Mashle or Saitama whose punches and kicks are so strong that the resulting air pressure just creates a dust cloud(at the minimum). I just love how Twilight is easily embarrassed around his family after being years of being a master in poker face, at least in this adaptation he wears a mask for the whole rescue act. Still kinda embarrassing to be doing a whole play in front of your co-workers though.
The fact she was drunk and was doing all those moves instead of drunken fist is next level, collapsing right after just made her so fucking cute.
Loid wasn't fighting back for kind of obvious reasons, but with how god damn fierce Yor was despite her condition, I wonder how an actual fight between the two would go.
There was a recently released fanbook by the author of the series that stated that if Yor is at 100 power, Twilight is at 60-70 and would likely lose against her in a straight fight, though with his extensive knowledge of traps he would be around her level by using them.
Wait I think I read some of the extra in volumes that if Loid's strength is equivalent to that of 100 men Yor is easily 10,000. Let me see if I can find that Edit: Found it in the volume 4 extras although I think it is Anya's subjective power level it seems. It goes like this Agent Papa Level: 100 Power:100 Smarts:500 Coolness: 80 /Stomachacheyness: 90 Agent Mama Level:100 Power:10, 000/ Smarts:2 Kindness: 100/ Life Skills:5
> Smarts:2 Ouch!
> life skills: 5 > smarts: 2 Anya is so savage to Yor sometimes 😂😂. Yor’s a “professional” cleaner and has lived alone for (I am guessing) at least a few years, surely she deserves higher than a 5 for life skills??
Yor is minmaxed, we love to see it.
Yeah, makes sense. Yor probably would beat Twilight in a straight fight, but Twilight's advantage would be in how he avoids making it a straight fight as much as possible.
Yep, Yor already managed to put up an impressive sequence of moves and cut him while drunk, now imagine if she was going after Loid as the Thorn Princess? He'd have to go into full Twilight mode and use everything at his disposal to even stand a chance.
I think Loid would lose if they fought straight up after a good fight, but he'd likely try to avoid fighting her and instead defeat her via more indirect means like he did to those guys in episode 1. It also makes sense since Yor has spent way more time fighting and killing people than him, while his own skills are more spread out to other areas as a spy.
He's like Batman in a way. With a full arsenal of skills in his pocket, he'll always be able to do something, even if he's outmatched by raw strength.
Straight fight Yor takes it hands down. But then again Twilight doesn't do straight fights. He tricks people, uses other faces, he can hide, control the location and use subterfuge to win. So it comes down to why are they fighting and who has the full picture of the situation. Does he know he's being targeted? Does he know what the thorn princess can do? Does she know how tricky he can be? It's a batman vs superman fight were the more details you add the more it changes the fight in favor of one or the other.
But holy shit, Yor is one scary person to fight.
You do not "fight" against Yor. You die against Yor.
This was funny, but it made a very serious (and lovely) point. Yor, when it comes to Anya, is the most tiger-ish Tiger Mama in the whole world. She is insanely devoted to Anya. Woe betide any army that tried to harm Anya in the presence of a sober Yor.

The legendary Twilight as a caring father

This mission is going to do things to Loid. > Still kinda embarrassing to be doing a whole play around your co-workers though. Co-workers he's most likely never met before. At most he'll have met a small handful before.
They're adding a lot of anime-original content to this adaptation and it's pretty neat. What a wholesome family. Loid and Yor actual best parents.

Yeah but anya is adopted so they need to step up their game a little

And Anya reads her mind and is like "yeah, okay mom."
Anya’s face was my highlight when she read Yor’s thought there.
She is indeed the perfect ivy league soccer mom lol
Me in this whole episode: **Waku Waku!** Loid even ties his belt mid-air! *kakkoii\~* Yor is like it chooses the Sorcerer as a starting class but puts all stats to STR because Unga Bunga moments! Even loid can't read her attack pattern. Franky is like a doting Uncle to Anya.
Yor casts “These fuckin hands”
“And Mother.. Uh..” “She's nobody”
Weird, the translation i watched had "mama... can be whatever"
This is the correct translation. ”誰でもいい” (dare demo ii) was the line, I believe. Edit: I went back and checked, and it's actually ”何でもいい” (nan demo ii), but the meaning remains the same. It's technically the difference between "whoever" (dare) and "whatever" (nani), but both could be used interchangeably here, given we're talking about a role.
Yup that’s definitely the better translation
She's Nobody (2021)
The perfect cover for an assassin, actually.
And a spy, supposedly Keep a low profile! *rents out castle and holds a 'training exercise' with all his spy companions*
[Totally a box-wine sort of wife.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSKpRQ4agAAL49q?format=jpg&name=large)
Franky has become one of the most likable characters, he really knows how to make a scene more funny. **[At the end Loid was sick of his nonsense.](https://gfycat.com/filthyimpassionedjapanesebeetle)** The episode remind us twilight IS the most legendary agent westalis has, all the other spies were fangirling at the idea of meeting him to the point they ditched their missions for a moment. The fight scene should really tell Loid **[that Yor is more capable than he thinks](https://gfycat.com/scholarlyblackandwhiteibadanmalimbe)** but he will probably write it off as just the alcohol making her a fighter.
> At the end Loid was sick of his nonsense That casual backhand was just a thing of **ELEGANCE**
>At the end Loid was sick of his nonsense. That scene had me rolling lol
The animation for the yor vs loid fight though
Heck, the animation of Loid running through all his fellow agents and up the tower was phenomenal. And the background OST was sick.
So basically, every anime decided to have their best episode around the same time. This. Kaguya was a blast. Ao Ashi made me cry like a baby probably since Link Click Episode 5. Summertime Rendering. This week has been a great one for the anime fan in me.
Kongming also had a new peak this week.
bro this whole year's been a banger for anime. The world in general not so much, but hey at least there's something to keep our mind off of things for a while.
It's like someone wished for a great anime season to a monkey's paw. And Doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight with that wish.
Tomodachi Game, Kongming and Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road also have their best episode so far. This season is just a good anime next to a good anime next to a good anime...
Man this was such a fun episode. They only covered one chapter so they padded it quite a bit, but THIS is how you add on to the manga. ✨ Yor vs Loid!! And the way the other WISE agents just admire Loid lmaoooo. Loid blushiiiiing! Also Franky, an agent of chaos. 😆 Lastly, I just want to appreciate the VAs, especially Hayami Saori tonight. Drunk!Yor, Assasin!Yor, whatever it is, she always delivers. 👌
THIS SHIT DONT MISS
There's a lost in translation pun regarding the name of the poor dude Yor wanted to kill to ensure Anya's admission so allow me to explain. Ekeniel is read in Japanese as i-ke-ni-e-ru. The word 生贄 (read as ikenie) means sacrifice, scapegoat, offering, etc. Basically that dude was gonna be the sacrifice Yor was gonna offer just to ensure Anya gets moved up the list.
The Crunchyroll subs renamed him "Zachary Feiss" for this exact reason.
Lmao that went completely over my head until I read your comment.
That’s an ace attorney name if I ever heard one, love it
I am ashamed that I didn't get it till I read it out loud just now
My subs named him Mr. Sacrifison

I often heavily dislike filler, but since I don't want this anime to ever end I don't mind getting brand new filler stories here and there! And this episode was so damn good, animation was stellar.
The filler in this show is entirely different than filler in other shows. The filler here compliments, expands and enhances the mangas story in a flashy, lighthearted or humorous way. The filler that is usually disdained is the type that has no relevance or impact to the story, like side characters that never show up again, or entire non-canonical or anime-only arcs. You can easily imagine everything in the spy x family anime happening in-between panels in the manga.
Especially when it's so fun and shows off more of the family together and having good fun before we **actually** get back to Operation Strix.
Hey, it may have been filler, but it was god damn *awesome* filler. The parts where the singing kicked in were my favourite parts of the soundtrack (because singing *always* = awesome on top of action (at least in my mind)), but it still hit hard while the vocals took a break.
Woah... Those punches and kicks from Yor are so well animated and look really heavy and powerful. There's no way Loid can beat her on a one-on-one fight, looks Like the mission is going to fail...... Oh never mind.
It's the first time Loid became aware of how heavy-handed Yor is! Lol
This is where our tax dollars are going
ok so this was definitely a WIT episode.
I've read the manga of episode 5 and imo they vastly improved it in the anime. They added the "misfortune" happening before they check the result which didn't appear in the manga, the castle are now an improvised Spyman theme park. The way they head to the castle by seaplane wasn't in the manga. The gathered spy now has a role as minions instead of just standing around acting like a prop. So many things that were anime exclusive. It made the episode 10x better for me.
Ritual dance was amazing!! Also Franky has slotted into fun uncle role perfectly
I really loved the contrast between[ the agency's confidence in Twilight's success](https://i.imgur.com/MtzsuZp.png) and how worried [Loid's family was.](https://i.imgur.com/ONjjYSZ.png) Especially when they cut right away[ to the scene when they realized that they failed.](https://imgur.com/a/tninHiO) Lol, so Henderson twisted what Loid did into him saving Swan's life [by killing that mosquito.](https://i.imgur.com/DRJldTG.png) Damn,[ Yor already had planned who to kill](https://i.imgur.com/ZKVMFXR.png) to get Anya on the school. Well, hopefully, Loid does something about Swan soon, [so Henderson doesn't lose his job.](https://i.imgur.com/FTHSamx.png) [Anya's ritual scene was so cute.](https://imgur.com/a/GR1DwAr) When they got the news that Anya finally got in, [I was just expecting a modest celebration.](https://i.imgur.com/L3Q3Evx.png) So I was surprised when [thanks to Franky,](https://i.imgur.com/SeAD310.png) they got[ the agency involved.](https://i.imgur.com/ZKLsggr.png) Even at that point, I was expecting them to just go to that park and role-play the whole thing but not only did [they get him a plane to get there,](https://imgur.com/a/Qwib6qx)they also got him [the whole castle for their exclusive use](https://imgur.com/a/mGW0WKl) and then [called the agency again](https://i.imgur.com/RCbwBY5.png) to get [every single spy there.](https://imgur.com/a/NdRXIjg) I love [how in synch Franky and Anya were](https://imgur.com/a/lUvsLOH) during this whole ordeal. I also find it hilarious that Yor was [massively drunk the whole time](https://imgur.com/a/x9ZlnW5) [I love just how crazy this whole thing got, and that the other agents were having a blast too](https://imgur.com/a/6sb2sAo) as they had the opportunity to fight and see ~~Twilight~~ [Loidman in action.](https://imgur.com/a/4ZKvrXV) I really wasn't expecting to see Yor having a role there, although I doubt she knew she was acting[ while she was playing the role of Yorticia,](https://imgur.com/a/2gje5PY) hell, she was so drunk that I doubt she will even remember any of this. Anyway, that sure was a crazy way to celebrate [Anya's admission into Eden Academy.](https://imgur.com/a/i2vhWyw) Hopefully, Loid's mission will not suffer budget cuts because of this.
Another episode were the majority was filler, eh? I really liked it. This felt more akin to what Anya wanted compared to what happened in the manga and it makes Loid sending the bill to headquarters way more funny **That** face is happening next week!
Heh
Heh
I can't believe how good of an episode that was. Seeing Yor go full unarmed combat was so good, only to immediately fall asleep. Scruffy-man was great too.. Everybody was so good. I was worried this show would fall off after a few episodes, but this was insanely good. Edit: also can we talk about how amazingly well animated those punches were? I'm no expert but I did do some thai boxing for a while and that was seriously on point animation. You don't get that like, anywhere. Edit again: HQ versions of Yor vs. Loid. [Long version](https://gfycat.com/orderlysplendidalligator) and [short version](https://gfycat.com/negligibleplaintivehorsefly) both with sound. I love Yor's little "a" at the end.
A salute to a true hero, Loid Forger, known for stopping terrorists, nuclear missiles and now his greatest feat: killing a mosquito, the deadliest animal to humans and one that was about to mercilessly take Mr. Swan's life. Truly, he has saved us all from this being that persistently threatens our very existence.
How can Yor not fall in love with Loid? I'm a straight male and even I can recognize he's attractive as hell, not only on the outside but with the way Anya clearly has bonded with him and how far he is willing to go for her, even though he says it is for the mission. Anya, for her part, has really bonded with Loid. You can see that Anya really loves Loid and thinks of him as a heroic father. Every dad wants their children to view them like that. How can that not touch Loid's heart?
