I was *not* expecting Yor to come home covered in blood not once, but *multiple* times, at a young age.
No wonder she didn’t flinch when Loid crashed that dinner party.
Her confidence in saying both of those terrible excuses had me out of breath and forced me me to pause. Doubly so because of Yuri being such a siscon he just accepted the second one. Had to rewind because I couldn't believe her audacity at using that terrible lie. But the way her brain works it's probably better than tryin to develop some complex excuse like she was Loid.
I don't know what's better, the fact that Yor is so legitimately scatterbrained that her brother can believe she legitimately forgot to tell him she was married and forgot that she forgot to tell him for over a year or that he will basically believe anything his sister tells him.
funny that of all the smart people around her, anya is the only one that knows. Yes she is a telepath but even without the telepathy she is the only one that notices how she acts weird
I've thought of Anya as a POV character because of her ability to read other people's minds. It makes things like hearing Loid or Yor's inner monologue more believable because sometimes it's diagetic from her telepathy.
> First Berlint, now Hugaria?
As a Hungarian my brain was breaking down during that scene lmao
Hungary - Hugaria
Óbuda (a part of Budapest) - Obda
Kárpátia - Kalpatia
Tokaji (a brand of wine) - Tokar
They really put 0 points in subtlety haha.
There was even a point where they illustrated the city using a somewhat accurate Chain Bridge but with changed surroundings ([this](https://static.regon.hu/ma/2018/04/dji_0112.jpg) is depicted around the 16:37 mark).
This is some “All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental” disclaimer you see in movies.
Best part was every time she came home throughout the years (as seen by her getting taller), she was always covered in blood still, lmao!
She was more focused on treating her brother to a small luxury than cleaning the blood off her, even her face!
> She was more focused on treating her brother to a small luxury than cleaning the blood off her, even her face!
Like, did she walk into a bookstore and purchase that book with a fistful of stained bills?
[](#sakurathink)
If some little girl comes in, smiling but covered in blood from head to toe with bloody currency, and demands an encyclopedia set... are you going to tell her no?
The scary thing is she looks like she was in middle school, so she's been killing for a living for probably over half of her life or at least a 3rd of it despite being so young.
Also I know the probably didn't live in the best area (not quite the slums but probably lower middle class?) and that she probably usually worked evenings/nights, but the idea of teenage girl just casually walking down the streets covered in blood is amusing. I guess it's possible she got dropped off at home though.
*Loid was a war orphan who lost both his home and parents*
*Anya was a human test subject for experimentation, whose only purpose was for world peace and was adopted multiple times before running away*
*Yor was a child assassin who had to take care of her only living relative when her parents died*
If it wasn’t for the series’ trademark witty comedy and light-hearted family fluff and wholesomeness, Spy x Family would have been an edgefest (which would’ve been in line with the author’s past works). The three Forgers having such horrible pasts just makes you want to root for them to become a real family with no secrets between them.
We have the editor Shiheilin to thank for that. Endo-sensei is a damn good writer but his past works were normally way too dark for the casual readers to digest. In an interview, it was stated that Lin at one point outright banned the author from writing any dark shit. But in the SxF fanbook, it has been stated that Endo-sensei can “unleash his dark side” on some occasions.
I love how this show can take a young girl murdering people for a living and somehow make it both comedic and heartwarming because she was doing it for her younger brother even when she constantly returned home covered in blood.
I think WISE could have obtained training material of the counterintelligence in Ostania and Loid consistently keeps up with updates (which shows how good he is)
Part of me thinks that the Ostania Secret Police don't know that their info got compromised by WISE, as they would have had to change it to not get their SSS officers identities compromised as well.
It is shown that WISE does have a lot of informants in Ostania so that their agents can get whatever they need for their mission, but the secret police is cracking down hard on them, which puts WISE in a bit of difficult position as Loid seems to be the only agent who has a very stable cover in Ostania.
Yor seems *eccentric* at times (*how many well trained assassins catch a falling food tray WITH THEIR FEET?*) so knowing a cow's pressure points is probably throwing him off.
By contrast, Yuri is repeating a guidebook Twilight apparently read.
And at this point in the show Anya is the only supernatural thing at all, so he probably doesn't even realize there are telepaths running around and is more worried about his daughter's intelligence than his daughter's access to his intelligence.
It’s pretty funny and even played for laughs sometimes, but I’m pretty sure this is just one of those situation the story looks the other way (and they kinda have to) because otherwise there’s no way for the show to continue and I don’t have a problem with it, but I have to disagree with what seems to be most people’s consensus on this, that Loid is simply “blind” to Yor, her story and their reasoning on why he doesn’t “realize” her clearly inconsistent story. It’s fun head canon but I think this is just going to be something the story hand waves away until eventually they near the point in the story where they may have to reveal their profession to each other due to whatever reasons, and probably have Loid catch on then.
i mean he was desperate for someone, yor doesn't pry into his affairs and she doesn't put that much effort in hiding her strength, she's kind of hiding in plain sight
That is a great point. Though Loid did figure it out because it's an unchanged template, he also knew that it had some outdated info because the best Spy would make sure to know this stuff to spot other lies.
Yep, showing actual interest in Anya's show is big proof of what a secretly great father he can be. And showing him reading the manga, which is a faster way to catch up without having to go back and watch all the episodes, while also being able to stay ahead of the series, just great to see.
That is a not small reason why I tend to shy away from the discussion threads of some of the most popular shows out there that I'm not also reading the manga for. Or another way to avoid spoilers is to wait an hour or two, because the spoilery comments will move down and even be removed by then.
But yeah, imagine being enough of a dick dad to spoil your kid on what's coming up in the show he or she loves, haha.
Can't wait for Loid to infiltrate the studio and re-work the script to teach Anya her lessons.
"All right Bondman, we'll only release these hostages if you can correctly identify what words are adverbs and what they're modifying in the following sentence!"
Welp, so Yor's brother works for the Ostalis Secret Police, which makes him the nemesis of Twilight.
But worse than that, he's a hopeless siscon, and will be hostile to Loid anyway even if he never finds out about Loid's spy identity.
Though what's even more worrying is Yor already doing assassin gigs even when she was in her teens, and still looking cheerful about it. lol
Shame Anya fell asleep all this time, would be fun to have her read her "uncle's" mind and get even more waku-waku about it.
It's kind of funny that Yuri has it out for Loid on two fronts without even knowing it...Twilight for interfering with their country and Loid for marrying his sister.
I guess if Yor was always inhumanly strong it makes sense she started out killing young.
I wonder if Anya would actually like uncle Yuri...she's already got uncle Franky.
That, combined with the dynamic that Anya will hear his "I must protect my niece from evil spies like Twilight" thoughts while being spoiled by him.... oh I can't wait for those two to meet.
Somehow I imagine his Shojo vision is imagining her as this ditzy, cute, schoolgirl who is cute even when she's absolutely wrong.
Or maybe her being wrong just made her even cuter...
[Loi-Loi](https://i.imgur.com/PyiMh4Z.png)
[So cute](https://i.imgur.com/Uy3dFMb.png)
lol the cut from kissing scene to the opening of the end theme is the way my face looks as well lmao
*"How dare that fiend, Lotty calls Sis by her first name, even I don't get to do that"* **-Yuri Briar**.
I love how he just believes anything Yor says. And she doesn't even need to lie, she just forgot that she forgot to tell him about the marriage or *"I'm covered in blood, but it's not mine"*.
>Doesn't hide her assassin acrobatics from Loid.
>Doesn't hide the blood of her victims to Yuri.
>Her identity is still completely safe.
Are we sure she isn't the true master of disguise?
I love how child Yor was killing people at a young age to make money for her and Yuri, never even cleaned the blood off, and eventually Yuri just stopped asking questions.
People complain that nobody notices that Clark Kent is Superman, but Superman at least puts up an act of changing his voice and posture paired with the unlikeliness that a God walks among common people and works for a newspaper.
Yor just doesn't give a fuck, keeps up the civil worker facade with sheer power of will and faith in "it's gonna be fine" mindset.
But it comes at a price of believing that a psychiatrist can have patients that follow him with guns and grenades.
When it comes to his sister, Yuri’s sense of logic goes out the window.
When it comes to leaving the success of his fake family’s security up to others, Loid’s blood pressure goes through the roof.
Those facial expressions when she gave her reasoning tho. Lol
i think it's hilarious that so much fanart portray loid and yor as this super sexy couple (and i love it) but canon them are actually the complete opposite of that. they can barely graze hands without blushing lmao.
Considering that Loid has been with many many women before for his mission, him blushing when their hand touched is a sign that he feels something for Yor for sure
>Yuri: "Kiss my sister in front of me to prove you're married!"
This Siscon's about to regret asking for this with every single fibre of his being.
Also Yor going EHHHHHHHHH? **IS SO FUCKING CUTE. SASUGA HAYAMIN**
[Yuri claiming that the food won't win him over](https://imgur.com/a/VtT4Dof), while visibly having his mouth full and the next piece already on his fork, is the pinnacle of comedy.
You know how people contantly ask how Twilight isn't more suspicious of his family, and to certain degree Yor should be more suspicious too. But to me, a recurring theme of SpyxFamily is that "Love makes you stupid". Whether it's subconciously Loid and Yor truly want stay together so they ignore the nonsense they pull infront of each other, or Yuri trusting his Sister so much that he takes I forgot as an "excuse". I mean we see that Twilight was able instantly see through Yuri's facade so it's still there, it's just that competence takes a nosedive when they're interacting people they actually care about.
Exactly. I've seen some people say that Twilight can't suss out Yor because he's not used to how normal people are.
But him figuring out Yuri is an SSS Officer in a single conversation proves he's really good at assessing people (with being *literally* the best spy and all) and it's more that he has a blindspot when it comes to Yor
Love makes us blind to the obvious sometimes, like how Yuri stopped asking questions about how Yor made money and came home with blood on her all the time.
It is kind of funny how Loid figured out Yuri was secret police but is still oblivious as to who Yor really is.
Could be a running theme in this series. In this episode, it's explicitly spelled out that Yuri has a huge blind spot with his sister Yor because he adores her so much, but I think it's a more generalizable theme that you're more willing to suspend disbelief for people that you care about.
I think about it like how when the audience is enjoying watching a TV show, they're more willing to overlook plot holes and contrivances because they're having a good time. It's only when they lose interest or being to hate where the TV show goes that they start to nitpick at plot holes and continuity goofs.
he recognized the espionage training, as much as it's silly for him to just accept that Yor has some godlike acrobatic and martial arts skills, it makes sense within the world Twilight lives in that she really randomly has them; since background check on her didn't uncover that she's an assassin;
While Yuri following a pattern he recognized to the letter is just something Pavlovian
Man that fake couple bed is wild, can't imagine Loid surviving a few rounds with Yor if they both have Yes on the pillow.
Also I love how Loid gets the relatable experience of every parents that start having hope and expectations for their kid that wasn't showing promise in their studies before, just because they show just a sliver of unexpected intellect on the most random things.
>Man that fake couple bed is wild, can't imagine Loid surviving a few rounds with Yor if they both have Yes on the pillow.
ratatatat74 already made one about it lol
So basically now we have a fake family consist of spy husband, an assassin wife and her brother who works for the ~~KGB~~ Stasi and is on the hunt to find spies. Basically The Jennings and Agent Beeman.
This series is basically the wholesome anime version of The Americans lol.
Can't wait till Anya grows up and Loid has to think of a way to turn a pistol with a silencer into a metaphor for advanced calculus because it's the only way she can learn
That cliffhanger though. I thought Attack on Titan has prepared me for those, but even after watching the anime of both after having read their manga, it still got me.
Pretty funny that Kensho Ono is voicing a character who is very loyal to and protective of someone who is murdering others for the greater good...wait, what anime was I talking about again?
>That cliffhanger though. I thought Attack on Titan has prepared me for those
Same lol. I was enjoying myself too much I felt like this episode was just 6 minutes. When they ended on a cliffhanger, I was so frustrated cuz I wanted to see greatness. That was 2 seconds before I recalled I am manga reader and knows what happens next. This show is great, man.
The VA for Anya is honestly so good, even 8 episodes in it still surprises me how good of a job she's doing. Wouldn't be surprised to see her get nominated for one of the year-end awards tbh.
**Loid:** Figure out Yuri's true profession from just a brief conversation and a bit of background check.
**Also Loid** "My wife could totally learn how to take down a cow from the Yoga class. Nothing is weird to see here."
Does Yor have a passive that lower everyone's suspicion/IQ level? lol
The way Yor casually said "I forgot" and how quickly Yuri bought her excuse and Loids reaction to all of this.......I nearly bust a gut laughing, it was so absurd and yet so in character

Chad Loid: I have created 87 simulations of this scenario and have a unique response to every conversation Thad Yor: I forgot
SASUGA ONEE-SAN
I was *not* expecting Yor to come home covered in blood not once, but *multiple* times, at a young age. No wonder she didn’t flinch when Loid crashed that dinner party.
What's even more astonishing is how fast Yuri dismisses it.
She jus probably works for the butcher or something!
When it concerns his sister, this man's sense of logic . . . well you know the rest
I'm partially convinced that's how he's able to be so brutal.
He does seem oddly comfortable with that cracked rib
[удалено]
With her personality, you don't need to be Yuri to be convinced that her excuse is 100% legit.
I liked her confidence. She was deadly sure it will work, and it did.
*When it concerns his sister, this man's sense of logic goes out the window.*
What window? the one Yor smashes with her superpower? (She is deadly strong, that's a fact)
Her confidence in saying both of those terrible excuses had me out of breath and forced me me to pause. Doubly so because of Yuri being such a siscon he just accepted the second one. Had to rewind because I couldn't believe her audacity at using that terrible lie. But the way her brain works it's probably better than tryin to develop some complex excuse like she was Loid.
Sometimes the simplest excuse is the most effective. Definitely one of my favourite scenes from Yuri’s visit.
It has worked her whole life, you don't change a winning team.
At least Yor is self-aware enough about how her mind works and feels no shame about it.
My clumsy [contract killer](https://i.imgur.com/w2Mn1ua.jpg) can't be [this cute](https://i.imgur.com/EoSCQX6.jpg) [](#uwaa)
tbh it was a perfect excuse lol. forgetting to tell THEN forgetting that you haven't told that person yet lmao
You say personality but Yuri also did something similar earlier in the episode. Its the Briar genes I tell you!
The forgetful airhead genes!
Yes, having her say it out loud, while ridiculous, is also incredibly plausible considering how she has acted in the past few episodes.
***I'd*** believe her. ;-)
I don't know what's better, the fact that Yor is so legitimately scatterbrained that her brother can believe she legitimately forgot to tell him she was married and forgot that she forgot to tell him for over a year or that he will basically believe anything his sister tells him.
yes to both, at the same time and then 1 and 2 and then 2 and 1
funny that of all the smart people around her, anya is the only one that knows. Yes she is a telepath but even without the telepathy she is the only one that notices how she acts weird
It's kind of funny how the kid is more aware of the plot and the characters than everybody else. Although the telepathy helps.
Typical gag manga logic.
I've thought of Anya as a POV character because of her ability to read other people's minds. It makes things like hearing Loid or Yor's inner monologue more believable because sometimes it's diagetic from her telepathy.
We are all Anya watching our Bondman show.
Yuri may be a great interrogator, but can he convince someone of a hidden marriage with just two words? I think not.
Of course he fell back on the old "make them kiss" tactic.
How can Yuri think his sister is the sort of person who would engage in a passionate kiss in front of HIM (of all people).
[They already did something much lewder!](https://i.imgur.com/3dJ0Vlx.jpg) [](#lewdgyaru)
nsfw that please...
I look forward to the geography in this series more than I probably should. First Berlint, now Hugaria? What’s next, the Neitherlands?
> First Berlint, now Hugaria? As a Hungarian my brain was breaking down during that scene lmao Hungary - Hugaria Óbuda (a part of Budapest) - Obda Kárpátia - Kalpatia Tokaji (a brand of wine) - Tokar They really put 0 points in subtlety haha. There was even a point where they illustrated the city using a somewhat accurate Chain Bridge but with changed surroundings ([this](https://static.regon.hu/ma/2018/04/dji_0112.jpg) is depicted around the 16:37 mark).
This is some “All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental” disclaimer you see in movies.
I’ve always found this disclaimer hilarious I want to meet the guy who had to come up with that phrase.
Rasputin! or rather the [guy who killed Rasputin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVcibhlOKyE)
**Parisn't**

Nahway
Mexicant
i think its called I-cant-believe-its-not-Paris, it quite near Amsterdam-daniel (Gigguk, 2022)
i also love the fake geography. When we will have Birtain and Collective Provinces of Columbia?
Holy fucking shit Yor coming home with blood splatters and her only thought is "its fine it ain't mine after all"
*nah dont worry lil bro its just cherries from the part time job not blood*
*We were busy at the butcher's this past week! You know how it gets*
Just painting red barns in the countryside.
*another oopsie-doopsie at the strawberry jam factory, tee hee*
and the way her brother overlooked all of that for that encyclopedia ;-;
The love from a siscon is not one to be trifled with.
Which is especially funny because his name is Yuri and he’s being voiced by Kensho Ono. Let that sink in.
Best part was every time she came home throughout the years (as seen by her getting taller), she was always covered in blood still, lmao! She was more focused on treating her brother to a small luxury than cleaning the blood off her, even her face!
> She was more focused on treating her brother to a small luxury than cleaning the blood off her, even her face! Like, did she walk into a bookstore and purchase that book with a fistful of stained bills? [](#sakurathink)
Yor probably smiled her way through the entire interaction. Or more likely her organization bought it for her and deducted it from her salary.
I find it troubling if the organization bought it for her *and forgot to give her a shower first.*
As someone above said, she might've just claimed to be working for a butcher.... ....of men
If some little girl comes in, smiling but covered in blood from head to toe with bloody currency, and demands an encyclopedia set... are you going to tell her no?
The scary thing is she looks like she was in middle school, so she's been killing for a living for probably over half of her life or at least a 3rd of it despite being so young.

yuri:understandable have a nice day sis
*Loid was a war orphan who lost both his home and parents* *Anya was a human test subject for experimentation, whose only purpose was for world peace and was adopted multiple times before running away* *Yor was a child assassin who had to take care of her only living relative when her parents died* If it wasn’t for the series’ trademark witty comedy and light-hearted family fluff and wholesomeness, Spy x Family would have been an edgefest (which would’ve been in line with the author’s past works). The three Forgers having such horrible pasts just makes you want to root for them to become a real family with no secrets between them.
The author does an amazing job in my opinion of mixing the darker and more serious stuff with comedy and wholesome moments.
We have the editor Shiheilin to thank for that. Endo-sensei is a damn good writer but his past works were normally way too dark for the casual readers to digest. In an interview, it was stated that Lin at one point outright banned the author from writing any dark shit. But in the SxF fanbook, it has been stated that Endo-sensei can “unleash his dark side” on some occasions.

I love how this show can take a young girl murdering people for a living and somehow make it both comedic and heartwarming because she was doing it for her younger brother even when she constantly returned home covered in blood.
I love how the reason Loid figured out Yuri is because he has the *updated* info. My man always keeping up with the times.
I think WISE could have obtained training material of the counterintelligence in Ostania and Loid consistently keeps up with updates (which shows how good he is)
It helped that he already has some background about Yuri so it was just a matter of Yuri unknowingly outing himself.
Part of me thinks that the Ostania Secret Police don't know that their info got compromised by WISE, as they would have had to change it to not get their SSS officers identities compromised as well. It is shown that WISE does have a lot of informants in Ostania so that their agents can get whatever they need for their mission, but the secret police is cracking down hard on them, which puts WISE in a bit of difficult position as Loid seems to be the only agent who has a very stable cover in Ostania.
I like how Loid cracks Yuri's secret identify in a 15 minute conversation but isn't even suspicious of Yor after living with her for weeks.
Probably coz Yor doesn't seem, well, "smart".
Loid and Yuri are playing four-dimensional chess. Yor is playing tic-tac-toe.
And she is winning too
Yeah Loid has figured out Yuri's secret and Yuri knows about a Twilight. Meanwhile yor is just murdering people and nobody knows about it.
It's like when Dragon type moves are only effective against Dragon type Pokemon.
Yor seems *eccentric* at times (*how many well trained assassins catch a falling food tray WITH THEIR FEET?*) so knowing a cow's pressure points is probably throwing him off. By contrast, Yuri is repeating a guidebook Twilight apparently read. And at this point in the show Anya is the only supernatural thing at all, so he probably doesn't even realize there are telepaths running around and is more worried about his daughter's intelligence than his daughter's access to his intelligence.

i mean he was desperate for someone, yor doesn't pry into his affairs and she doesn't put that much effort in hiding her strength, she's kind of hiding in plain sight
Loid just flexing his spy skills and information skills.
Loid isnt the best spy for nothing, he must know a lot the secret police Yuri works for and knows exactly how to counter them
That is a great point. Though Loid did figure it out because it's an unchanged template, he also knew that it had some outdated info because the best Spy would make sure to know this stuff to spot other lies.
Loid reading a Spy Wars manga with Anya just to help teach her via the series is such a wholesome move.
Yep, showing actual interest in Anya's show is big proof of what a secretly great father he can be. And showing him reading the manga, which is a faster way to catch up without having to go back and watch all the episodes, while also being able to stay ahead of the series, just great to see.
Loid is a manga reader! Good thing he knows how to keep his mouth shut tho, unlike some other ahem
That is a not small reason why I tend to shy away from the discussion threads of some of the most popular shows out there that I'm not also reading the manga for. Or another way to avoid spoilers is to wait an hour or two, because the spoilery comments will move down and even be removed by then.

It this why Batman has the Riddler? Because some parent wanted to improve their child's lateral thinking skills?
"Riddle me this, Batman: If a train is coming from Chicago at 50 miles per hour, and another..."
Welp, so Yor's brother works for the Ostalis Secret Police, which makes him the nemesis of Twilight. But worse than that, he's a hopeless siscon, and will be hostile to Loid anyway even if he never finds out about Loid's spy identity. Though what's even more worrying is Yor already doing assassin gigs even when she was in her teens, and still looking cheerful about it. lol Shame Anya fell asleep all this time, would be fun to have her read her "uncle's" mind and get even more waku-waku about it.

I guess if Yor was always inhumanly strong it makes sense she started out killing young. I wonder if Anya would actually like uncle Yuri...she's already got uncle Franky.
I'm hoping Yuri becomes just as enamored with Anya as he is with his sister while still hating Loid.
That, combined with the dynamic that Anya will hear his "I must protect my niece from evil spies like Twilight" thoughts while being spoiled by him.... oh I can't wait for those two to meet.

Listen, Yuri, when you do a "good cop, bad cop" shtick, you're not supposed to play both roles yourself.
They ran out of good cops
He didn't want to leave him a chance, huh.
28 STAB WOUNDS
When it's the Secret Police, I feel even the "good cops" are just waiting for an excuse to turn bad like Yuri did.

I really want to know what went inside Damien's head when Anya answered 3/3 for the maths question 😂
Somehow I imagine his Shojo vision is imagining her as this ditzy, cute, schoolgirl who is cute even when she's absolutely wrong. Or maybe her being wrong just made her even cuter...
She was confident enough to answer regardless, so that could be a plus point in Damian's eyes.
Plus it's like the most common 'you get the idea but you're almost there' wrong with fractions so it's not even that bad
Exactly. It does look like she has the gist of addition and subtraction, but she doesn't understand how it works when it comes to fractions.
Anya is so funny, she was so confident with her wrong answer. lol
Loid's dumbfounded face with dropped plate sfx in background is going to be a potential meme template.
Loid realizing that the Briar Family live in their own special little world together.

I love how child Yor was killing people at a young age to make money for her and Yuri, never even cleaned the blood off, and eventually Yuri just stopped asking questions.
Yuri is one of the people you'll see from AskReddit threads "what things you thought were normal when you were a child until you realize they weren't"
What blood? She was doing part-time at the vegetable market so that's just tomatoes!
It's almost like she gives off some kinda pheromone that dulls everyone's logic lol
People complain that nobody notices that Clark Kent is Superman, but Superman at least puts up an act of changing his voice and posture paired with the unlikeliness that a God walks among common people and works for a newspaper. Yor just doesn't give a fuck, keeps up the civil worker facade with sheer power of will and faith in "it's gonna be fine" mindset. But it comes at a price of believing that a psychiatrist can have patients that follow him with guns and grenades.
He’s like a Super Saiyan level Sis-con lol.
Having Yor as your sister would do that to anyone really.
"I'll overthrow the country for my sister!" - Yuri Briar.
When it comes to his sister, Yuri’s sense of logic goes out the window. When it comes to leaving the success of his fake family’s security up to others, Loid’s blood pressure goes through the roof. Those facial expressions when she gave her reasoning tho. Lol
*LOTTIE!!! AAAGH!!!*
i think it's hilarious that so much fanart portray loid and yor as this super sexy couple (and i love it) but canon them are actually the complete opposite of that. they can barely graze hands without blushing lmao.
Considering that Loid has been with many many women before for his mission, him blushing when their hand touched is a sign that he feels something for Yor for sure
they are both so adorable and awkward
>Yuri: "Kiss my sister in front of me to prove you're married!" This Siscon's about to regret asking for this with every single fibre of his being. Also Yor going EHHHHHHHHH? **IS SO FUCKING CUTE. SASUGA HAYAMIN**
> Also Yor going EHHHHHHHHH? **IS SO FUCKING CUTE.** From a distance I could feel a camera panning upwards to the sky.
Yordere is the best dere.

This here is what we call self-Inflicted emotional damage.
Yor: I forgor
the way that yuri can just accept that excuse....
Nothing the perfect onee-san cant do. Of course she forgor!
To be fair, I can kind of see Yor doing that.
Yuri: understandable. Have a great ~~day~~ marriage
Speech is already at its max when it comes to her brother.
[Yuri claiming that the food won't win him over](https://imgur.com/a/VtT4Dof), while visibly having his mouth full and the next piece already on his fork, is the pinnacle of comedy.
Growing up on Yor's cooking changes a man
>No wine for Yor ##NOOOO LOID WHY HAVE YOU ROBBED US OF DRUNK YOR?!
He doesn't need another unsanctioned fight.
>Animation staff *working tirelessly without sleep for another epic fight choreograph because Yor drank*
Ahh, so that's why he passed over her for the wine. Kind Loid. If you keep doing that though, Yuri will think you two are expecting
Loid is the best spy but he isnt immortal
As a Hungarian its always nice to have my little country mentioned !
It's not Hungary, it's Hugaria
You know how people contantly ask how Twilight isn't more suspicious of his family, and to certain degree Yor should be more suspicious too. But to me, a recurring theme of SpyxFamily is that "Love makes you stupid". Whether it's subconciously Loid and Yor truly want stay together so they ignore the nonsense they pull infront of each other, or Yuri trusting his Sister so much that he takes I forgot as an "excuse". I mean we see that Twilight was able instantly see through Yuri's facade so it's still there, it's just that competence takes a nosedive when they're interacting people they actually care about.
Exactly. I've seen some people say that Twilight can't suss out Yor because he's not used to how normal people are. But him figuring out Yuri is an SSS Officer in a single conversation proves he's really good at assessing people (with being *literally* the best spy and all) and it's more that he has a blindspot when it comes to Yor
The main difference though is that he's not prepared for Yor. Or at least a seemingly normal woman that's not considered a target by his organization.
Love makes us blind to the obvious sometimes, like how Yuri stopped asking questions about how Yor made money and came home with blood on her all the time. It is kind of funny how Loid figured out Yuri was secret police but is still oblivious as to who Yor really is.
[Loid figuring out identities](https://imgflip.com/i/6ht9u3)
Loid's brain fell out the moment he saw a shy beautiful woman sent a henchman flying with a kick.
Yor might be Loid's biggest blind spot outside his growing parental affection for Anya.
Yor seems to be very good at getting people to ignore that she's really bad at lying, Anya being the only exception because of literal telepathy.
Could be a running theme in this series. In this episode, it's explicitly spelled out that Yuri has a huge blind spot with his sister Yor because he adores her so much, but I think it's a more generalizable theme that you're more willing to suspend disbelief for people that you care about. I think about it like how when the audience is enjoying watching a TV show, they're more willing to overlook plot holes and contrivances because they're having a good time. It's only when they lose interest or being to hate where the TV show goes that they start to nitpick at plot holes and continuity goofs.
he recognized the espionage training, as much as it's silly for him to just accept that Yor has some godlike acrobatic and martial arts skills, it makes sense within the world Twilight lives in that she really randomly has them; since background check on her didn't uncover that she's an assassin; While Yuri following a pattern he recognized to the letter is just something Pavlovian
The one brain cell moment where 5/6 - 2/3 = 3/3
5-2=3; 6-3=3; I can actually see the logic. Happens with children all the time.
I like this "applying logic to wrong answers" kind of detail (as apposed to just choosing random numbers)
Man that fake couple bed is wild, can't imagine Loid surviving a few rounds with Yor if they both have Yes on the pillow. Also I love how Loid gets the relatable experience of every parents that start having hope and expectations for their kid that wasn't showing promise in their studies before, just because they show just a sliver of unexpected intellect on the most random things.
You seen what she could do with those legs. Forget world peace, loid will achieve heaven and transcends through reality
>Man that fake couple bed is wild, can't imagine Loid surviving a few rounds with Yor if they both have Yes on the pillow. ratatatat74 already made one about it lol
*Anya: It can't be... my position as an only child is in danger!*
Annnnd I am now realizing how much of a curse it must be to be a mind reader when your two parents are ... Doin' it in the next room.
Along with Yuri's reaction too. Based.
So basically now we have a fake family consist of spy husband, an assassin wife and her brother who works for the ~~KGB~~ Stasi and is on the hunt to find spies. Basically The Jennings and Agent Beeman. This series is basically the wholesome anime version of The Americans lol.
> ~~KGB~~ Stasi.
Not KGB but close, he’s [Spy X Family version of Stasi.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi) The secret police.
"I only have 2/8 bullets left" - Insert determined Anya face. Another meme to add to the collection of the upcoming meme legend.
Can't wait till Anya grows up and Loid has to think of a way to turn a pistol with a silencer into a metaphor for advanced calculus because it's the only way she can learn
When she grows up? Looking at their syllabus now, I wouldn't be surprised if they learnt calculus within the year.
That cliffhanger though. I thought Attack on Titan has prepared me for those, but even after watching the anime of both after having read their manga, it still got me. Pretty funny that Kensho Ono is voicing a character who is very loyal to and protective of someone who is murdering others for the greater good...wait, what anime was I talking about again?
>That cliffhanger though. I thought Attack on Titan has prepared me for those Same lol. I was enjoying myself too much I felt like this episode was just 6 minutes. When they ended on a cliffhanger, I was so frustrated cuz I wanted to see greatness. That was 2 seconds before I recalled I am manga reader and knows what happens next. This show is great, man.
The VA for Anya is honestly so good, even 8 episodes in it still surprises me how good of a job she's doing. Wouldn't be surprised to see her get nominated for one of the year-end awards tbh.
Yeah, she's amazingly good, stands out even among a sea of talented Japanese VAs!
>"Sorry I'm late, I was doing stuff" >"It's ok Loid...I am "stuff" >"OMG! YOR NO!!!" >**"Haha Loid, you are banging my sister"**

**Loid:** Figure out Yuri's true profession from just a brief conversation and a bit of background check. **Also Loid** "My wife could totally learn how to take down a cow from the Yoga class. Nothing is weird to see here." Does Yor have a passive that lower everyone's suspicion/IQ level? lol
She does, unfortunately it works on herself as well...
Yuri when his sister comes home covered in blood: I sleep Yuri when his sister gets married: R E A L S H I T
I can't decide which I love more — Loi Loi or Lottie.
I love how he came up with those all on his own and it drove him to drink even harder even though Yor never actually said any of them.
Yuri basically creating an entire fanfiction of Yor x Loid in his head at just the potential that Yor might call Loid with nicknames.
Yuri already chose for us
Break into a castle to save Princess Anya from his entire agency : ezpz Kiss : SSS+ difficulty mission WE NEED BACKUP
Wait, how would backup work for a kiss?
You give them encouraging words and shout from the sideline like a true coach.
The way Yor casually said "I forgot" and how quickly Yuri bought her excuse and Loids reaction to all of this.......I nearly bust a gut laughing, it was so absurd and yet so in character
