That my Question With Halloween a few days away i figured this needed a Fallow-up

so what do you think would be a Spy X Family Halloween and what would be the plot and would Anya where a costume in it? Is her mission about getting the best candy? Or something else?

Just spit balling there so what would be your ideal Spy X Family Halloween how hilarious would it be how wild is the plot I imagine having a few horror moments maybe it starts with Yor doing an Assassination and the story writes itself from there considering its a Halloween story that or Three house of Horror thing

I imagine Yor in a very bloody mission & has sorta a sad end like a Winter Soldier comic story with nice epilogue seeing Loid & Anya returning from taking Anya Trick or Treating which looks like to be it's own adventure from look on Loid face

So What your Idea for Spy X Family Halloween story?

Please put Spoiler Bars on any Manga Spoilers

I grew up with anime and manga, and my tastes have changed a lot over time. Even though I still read One Piece today, I’ve moved on from all the “new gen” battle shonen and the like. I didn’t read anything besides One Piece for quite a while, but then I discovered Spy x Family and it’s wonderful.

It’s generally the humor and yet the seriousness in many chapters, that captivates me. On top of that, I’m currently catching up on the manga by reading a few chapters a day whenever I have time. The story isn’t strictly linear with every chapter, sometimes there are chapters that just show funny everyday moments and I like that, because you can just enjoy the moment of reading this chapter, and if you forget some of it, it's no big deal.

However, the reason this image became one of my favorite pages is because of the arc leading up to it, featuring Martha. The way it depicted war, suffering, hunger, love, happiness, and hope in just a few chapters was impressive, followed by a chapter where Loid complains that the only news being broadcast is about a sea lion. I liked Yor’s take on this, that boring news means good news, and that the world can therefore find peace at that moment.

This double spread perfectly conveyed that sense of peace and tranquility without words, using only images. The visual presentation here is simply perfect!

I don’t know if that was the mangaka’s intention, but at least it had a huge impact on me!

I cleaned up some panels from the latest chapter; the dynamic between Yor and Gympie is so funny!

Imitating someone up to their eyes

By DonHatter

I thought it would be good to list things to get a good overview. I mentioned 'Desmonds' in the title as they provide info about Donovan in their experience (I won't go over observations of them as individuals). Every piece of info is accompanied by the chapter number in brackets.

Donovan Desmond: (former) Prime Minister and succeeded + current chairman of the National Unity Party (political party, anti-West) during the war, resigned as Prime Minister afterwards.

"Grave threat to the truce between East and West." - WISE (1)

Visited Damian at Eden upon his request after imperial scholar meeting. Disregarded Loid's attempt of making amends (Anya's punch). Essentially shuts Damian down due his complaints regarding being punched. "Our children may share our blood, but they aren't us. They're essentially strangers. It is impossible to understand strangers. In the end.. people will never truly be sympathetic with each other." (38)

Demetrius has (close to) no contact with him. In the past they had a close relationship, Donovan barely left his side, used to watch him study. - according to Damian who heard stories. (93)

Student at Eden during war, Henderson was teaching. "We will never be free of war ... Human beings are simply liars ... So long as that doubt persisted, history would be doomed to repeat itself ...we can never know the true intentions of others ... and we are hiding our true intentions ... I desire peace as much as anyone ... rather with dialogue instead of weapons ... warring like this is the best we humans are capable of ... I can't imagine an end to war." (99)

Made a rare visit home and asked staff to prepare a family dinner. ~long silent dinner~ "This has been a most worthwhile evening." (106)

Donovan hasn't done anything to Melinda (physical abusement). He has become a completely different man shortly after Damian was born. He began to push away everyone around him and barely spoke to anyone at all, including his wife. (110)

Fell ill and collapsed, he seemed like a different person afterwards - reclusive and foul tempered. (121)

Ordered Melinda not to meet with the assembly member she planned to see without her telling about her work plans of the day. (121)

Acquainted with prof Authen - he was meeting with various scholars. Conversations regarding ways to treat neuroses of soldiers, development new medicines, etc. Mention of former director (Surjay) of Loid's hospital.* (122)

Donovan and Authen haven't met again once since he resigned as Prime Minister. - according to Authen. Can potentially be debunked due last page: "Does Desmond know about this?! Could the plan still be underway?!" (122)

Has been visiting the hospital a lot. During his recent visit he headed to the neurosurgery section, visiting a VIP patient (former Prime Minister Chapman) who's asleep. (138)

Owes Chapman "a great debt". Is here to say his goodbyes - according to *former hospital director Surjay. (138)

"There's something so frustrating about not being able to understand others' thoughts. ... This man (Surjay)... does he still... toward me? Is there really no ulterior motive in... calling... here? Idk... but... maybe it doesn't matter." - Donovan (139-2)

Donovan used to spend time with Demetrius unlike with Damian. He used to console Demetrius when he cried, as well as showing empathy and a genuine smile. (141)

--

While this is about Donovan, I'll be mentioning some things about Chapman too since it's in strong relation to him (138-139):

Prime minister and National Unity party's chairman prior to Donovan.

'The one who started the war' gained public reputation.

Strict hospital visitation policy per family's request. Condition not made public.

His doctor is not allowed in, barring medical emergency.

Brink of death, family hasn't visited. - according to Surjay.

--

Let me know if I missed anything and I'll edit it!

(Also, I'm pretty much joining the theory that he swapped brains with Chapman. So, the mind in the body of Chapman, who lies in the hospital, is the real Donovan.)

Guys like seriously. Loid told anya to tell the world that he is her biological father. And he always trusted anya with it ..he knew that that she said won't tell yor , yuri or anyone in school . Same with eden college entrance exam . He told her to memorize answers . Seriously . Is it just me ?

Twiyor and YuriChloe are my favorites, but I think they’re all cute in their own way. It still makes me quite sad that Henry and Martha didn’t end up together.

P.S. I forgot about Sigmund and Barbara; I'm very sorry.

For me: the nicknames she gives Frankie and Damian

Is it the old music of the XIX century, is it the music of the 60's from our world, is it a entierly new genre ?

did anya stick them on with super glue or smth 😂

This chapter hints that Gympy could also be a test subject in Project Apple. So that means we have been introduced to 4 test subjects of the project so far: Anya, Bond, Donovan, and now Gympie. And all are running free or living a free life.

Why was this done to the test subjects, why were they freed? Wasn’t it wiser to just neutralize or "unalive" them after the war ended because there would be an obvious risk of compromising the secrecy or confidentiality of a secret project of that kind?

So I'm curious as to what exactly happened to Project Apple after the war ended. Could it be that the test subjects were freed after an outer intervention, possibly from the enemy state? What are your theories on that?

There are quite a few similarities between Hemlock and Twilight that I find interesting.

- Obsession with an overarching goal: Twilight is driven by his desire to maintain peace between East and West, while Hemlock is driven by his mission to purge nations of traitors. Both place their respective ideals above their personal lives, allowing their missions to define their identities.

- Becoming the best at their respective professions, regardless of the personal cost: Twilight suppresses his emotions and buries his sense of self to become the best spy he can be. Hemlock, on the other hand, physically distances himself from others, seemingly believing that isolation is necessary to become the best assassin he can be. Both are willing to sacrifice their personal happiness in pursuit of professional perfection.

- Viewing emotional attachments as weaknesses: Both struggle with the idea that personal relationships might compromise their effectiveness. In Hemlock's case, this belief has given rise to his theory of isolation, leading him to deliberately distance himself from others. Twilight similarly approaches emotions and attachments as potential liabilities, although his experiences increasingly challenge that assumption.

- Gaslighting themselves to preserve their professional identities: Perhaps the most interesting similarity is how both rationalize their actions whenever their behaviour contradicts the identities they have constructed for themselves. Twilight repeatedly gaslights himself whenever he does something for Anya or Yor, insisting that his actions are merely necessary for Operation Strix or the Forger family's cover. Hemlock does something similar with Gympie, rationalizing his concern for her and the things he does for her as being related to his mission, his responsibilities, or his professional identity rather than acknowledging the personal attachment behind them. When their emotions or personal attachments interfere with their missions, they attempt to explain away those contradictions rather than fully confront what they reveal about their inner selves.

However, I think the most significant difference between them lies in their emotional and analytical intelligence.

Twilight is highly intelligent in both respects. He can analyse situations rationally, read other people, and understand their emotional states, even when he struggles to acknowledge his own. His ability to empathize with others is precisely what makes his self-deception so interesting: he can recognize the emotional complexity of other people while remaining remarkably resistant to the implications of his own feelings.

Hemlock, by contrast, seems much more limited in his emotional understanding. His isolation theory suggests that he has mistaken emotional detachment for emotional strength, treating human connection as a liability rather than recognizing its potential value. Where Twilight's worldview is increasingly challenged by his experiences with the Forger family, Hemlock appears more committed to preserving his existing beliefs.

Ultimately, both characters try to subordinate their humanity to their professional identities, but Twilight possesses the emotional intelligence to question that approach, even if he isn't fully conscious of doing so. Hemlock, on the other hand, seems far more trapped by his own ideology.

That contrast makes them particularly interesting to compare: both are defined by their missions, but Twilight's capacity for empathy gives him a path toward change that Hemlock may be unwilling—or unable—to take.

So I'm thinking that after this, Yor and Gympie break into an apple facility,

only to find that someone else has already broken into it..

For a while it seems that he's been in the background

Endo has a habit of dressing the characters in new outfits, what if there was a fashion show arc?

There could be designers featured at the academy, (something about looking for their next model for their ‘back to school’ catalogue or something) having the kids showing off for the catalogue. They could get Yor and Loid going undercover for some covert mission or another and they get to dress up.

Idk seems like fun 😁

I’m not really sure what OC or non OC fan art is sorry 😅

Mantis as yor
Human torch as loid

I really liked the Forgers' ski vacation, but this dance party was truly a 10/10!

The challenges at the beginning were fun, but that quiz was so hilarious. I thought it was such a nice touch when Anya answered all the personal questions, while the other girls knew things like how many companies the Desmonds own.

The best part was when Damian realized how close the Forgers are, because his dad is his favorite person.

[SPOILERS FOR CHAPTERS 119–136]
In Chapter 119, Loid and Yor have a conversation about whether their marriage will continue. Yor is asking for his personal opinion, but Loid responds from a professional standpoint, saying that he wants their contract to continue. To me, this shows that he doesn’t fully understand what she’s really asking him, and his answer leaves Yor disappointed.

But what really caught my attention was Chapter 120. Why is Loid still thinking about something that happened the previous night, when the conversation is already over? Why is it occupying his mind to the point that he’s spacing out during a WISE briefing? More importantly, his expression is different, and he’s concerned that Yor has barely spoken to him since that conversation. The scene isn’t played for comedy; it feels unusually serious, especially considering how personal the situation is.

Eventually, Loid decides to put Plan von Durchbruch aside because he needs to understand Yor better.

And this is where I think the turning point begins. When you try to understand someone on a deeper level, you start paying more attention to them and questioning their motives and reactions. Why did they say that? Why did they act that way? The more you think about these things, the more that person occupies your mind. To me, Loid’s decision isn’t simply about resolving a misunderstanding. It’s the beginning of a deeper interest in Yor herself, even if he isn’t fully aware of what this change means yet.

Looking at Chapters 128–136, this development becomes even more apparent. The progression between Loid and Yor is fascinating, especially in how their interactions have changed. Since when have their moments carried this much depth? And since when has Loid started questioning Yor herself, rather than simply focusing on the situation she’s involved in?

Previously, Loid would often give the benefit of the doubt and find explanations for her behavior, even when his own decisions were influenced by her. But now, her mere presence in certain situations seems enough to throw him off balance.

I think this comes down to two things: the effect Yor has on him, and the fact that he’s beginning to struggle to understand her. The more she affects him in ways he can’t explain, the more reason he has to try to understand her.

Which brings me back to Chapter 119. Maybe its significance isn’t simply that Loid got distracted by a conversation with Yor, but that the situation stayed with him and pushed him to think about her rather than simply move on.

So, do you think Chapter 119 was a turning point in Loid and Yor’s relationship? Do you agree that it marks the beginning of a shift in Loid’s feelings toward Yor, from a warm familial attachment to a more personal interest in Yor herself?🙏

She is said to the strongest assassin in the Garden and most people who try to fight her are usually curb stomped.
