Controversial opinion, but I think they should kiss.

>>287416598I hope Yor dies
>>287417734Becky...
How is it that nobody ever calls out Twilight on being "used goods"? If his and Yor's identities were swapped there'd be constant schizo meltdown in every single thread.
>>287417842Redacted is not used goods however. So it's a first love for both Redacted and Yor.
>>287417842men and women are not the same xittercuck
>>287417842Loid drugged the women and pretended to do the deed
>>287416645Fiona, please.
Dumpanon here, will dump chapter here as soon as possible.
>>287417842To be fair I don't think the misunderstanding about Yor "visiting hotels" to make a living from chapter 2 ever got addressed. So as far as Twilight knows she's used goods herself.
>>287417842There's no point in calling it out, but I do have less respect for men like this
>>287416598But if Yuri kisses LoiLoi, then what about Yor?
>>287418678Yeah, I think that's still in place. When she kicked him in 35, he read it as a rejection rather than embarrassment. He also seems reluctant to push her like he thinks her issues are something much harder to get over than just a lack of experience.
>>287418175Thank you, dumpanon.

>>287419190nips loved thunderbirds

>>287419490>HugSkinship progress?
>>287419490Holy shit. Physical touch aversion cured?
>>287419490
Sooo Yor is becoming more obvious with her feelings and Loid is becoming aware of his but is forcing them down?
>>287419550:(
>>287419550
>>287419551This seems to be mostly setup for the epilogue. I'm hoping Loid confrontswhat this "emotion" is during it.
oh my
>>287419598
>>287419551Thereabouts yeah, seems like so
>>287419643Damn Yandere Yor is something i never thought i need
>>287419643Really really good expression.
>>287419643Oh the parallels Yuri and Chloe all but confirmed
>>287419643
>>287419551more like Anya and co. interrupted him while trying to sort it out. Axeman made progress on Loid's side but ultimately still left it up in the air and unresolved
>>287419379I mean, this is about the most noble way they could have ended the hostage situation, but destroying your lives over a television program? Even if you get off light this will probably follow you forever. I guess it could speak to how messed up some aspects of Ostania are that people valued this show that much.
>>287419719
>>287419542Not quite, but it's progress. >>287419598
>>287419643This is what gets Loid horny, huh?
>>287419719Cloe is endgame
>>287419772
>>287419643>>287419688Deep inside, some part of Twilight felt somewhat... aroused, by that look Yor gave him.
>>287419490Wow a progre->>287419550>>287419598>whapHey, at least she controlled her tard strength and simply jumped back a little! But it was top cute to see her so worried. Or rather both of them being worried about each other. Both of them and Yuri got COMPROMISED to the bones. >>287419643great page even with the "people die when they are killed" line, lmao
>>287419841
>>287419841Oh dear, we've never seen Twilight's inner monologues break down like this before. Question is if he'll repress it or try to address it later.
>>287419841>>287419899>literally breaking off from his [REDACTED] programmingCOMPROMISED AND BASEDFamily becomes #1 objective
>>287419899
>>287419719>Loid, people die if they are killed
>>287419846mee too
>>287419643>"After all, I've done it to other people so many times. One moment they're perfectly healthy, the next there is a stiletto through their skull."
>>287419899Lmfao
>>287419841It begins (finally)
>>287419951End of the chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. All chapters can be found here https://mega.nz/folder/xxMBgC6A#P2VM5Gfn-4wyyLmdR8k_RwThis one is already uploaded. Until next time and stay safe, buddies.
>>287419598>>287419643>Yor tells Loid he's wrong and that he could've died>Loid realizes she's rightI love this. Loid needs confrontations like this. I definitely wasn't expecting them to come from Yor, but she's unexpectedly good at them. Broke right through to him.
>>287419951>Yuri is pimping Yor already out
>>287419951Oh yeah, this is the first time Becky and Yuri have met. And of course they immediately clash since Becky simps for both Yor and Loid.
>>287420009>blushing and playing with her hair
>>287420009Thanks anon
>>287419719Chloe is really the tardwrangler that Yuri needs.She has the same exact pull that Yor has, but has this "psychological" strength instead of the physical one.
>>287419745If I could force Negi to rewrite the ending of 5toubun to make Ichika win, I'd do it too.
>>287420009Dang, they both look so tired. But nice touch with Yor playing with a lock of her hair, not sure we've seen her do that before.
>>287419951>Becky meets Yuri>Franky meets Martha and Becky>Franky meets YuriDamn, this is quite interesting for characters to meet here for the first time (or at least, exist in the same space for the first time)
>>287420009Thanks OPBummed that there was no Kiss now i am sure it will be a last arc thing but still pretty Fun arc crossdresser Yuri was the best
That teasing about real emotion is such a cop out and this will continue to go unaddressed for a few more years I fear. It's pure stalling.And that is why I'm disappointed that once again Axeman is stalling with Twilight's development and not just saying what is going on.Yes, he's feeling something. Yes, he admitted to himself he's feeling something. But he also already knows about his feelings getting in the way and almost killing him which is why he buried them after Mole. And this latest incident doesn't give him a better understanding of what was already there. It's almost a repeat of Mole ending.But Axeman continues to skirt around it and isn't some breakthrough for Twilight.
>>287417842It's genuinely bad for both, but the reason it isn't called out is because unlike how men deeply care about a woman's status, women do not give a fuck about a man's status and in many cases prefer their men not be virgins at all. It's just a difference of values, like how women care deeply about what kind of job the guy has, but men don't give a single flying fuck if they're dating the queen or dating a homeless wretch.
Loid knelt to YorFiona knelt to YorBecky knelt to YorYor knelt to AnyaAnya knelt to Damian
>>287420009Thanks palAny chance there's gonna be a follow-up?>inb4 next chapter is back2school
>>287420009Thank you for the dump.It was a really good mini-arc with visible progress for multiple people. Yuri accepting LoiLoi (and confirming that Chloe got into his thick skull), Yor becoming quite open with her feelings and her need to play a part" and Loid's "part" actually crumbling down as his emotions start to reappear.The absurdity of coming back home in military armoured vehicle makes a great background for the Yor/Loid thinking about their true vocation.
>>287420196I feel like this "stalling" adds to the buildup. Sure with Wheeler he had that bit of released frustration in the shower, but here we see him outright nearly go into a madness mantra. It really feels like all these "stalled" moments are building up to something big. Sure I could be wrong, or Axeman may fumble it, but I'm not disappointed so far.I do still hope we get an epilogue to this once Yor and Loid get a moment alone together. Even if it is likely we're just going to go into the next standalone chapter or the next arc.
>>287420174Chloe will 100% make him crossdress again.His chief too
>>287419841>what emotion am I even talking about...?Loid starting to realize he loves Yor wasn't on my bingo card. I didn't expect him to connect the dots until someone else called him out on it.
>>287420174I almost feel like Axeman saw this fanart when we did and added the Yuri crossdress bit
>>287420196It's a millimetre of progress. This is probably the hardest we've seen Twilight's mission-brain break down, it's even visually represented. The series has always been a slow burn, so this is a step forward regardless.
>>287417842Because being a male virgin is the biggest turn off for a woman. It's not like women are specifically attracted to male sluts, but they want to know that a man is experienced and has been able to get other women.The only people who care about Loid being promiscuous are male religious fans, and unfortunately, no one cares what they think.
>>287420362>Even if it is likely we're just going to go into the next standalone chapter or the next arc.I don't know how you guys are so goddamn bad at identifying when the arc ends. This is chapter 119 all over again. It even ended the same way.
>>287420009>Ear piercing holesVery neat detail, glad Axeman didn't overlook that because I totally would have
>>287419951Well becky does it have a bazookerwhen is Anya getting her silenced pistol
>>287420362>I feel like this "stalling" adds to the buildup.I don't recall any story that grants something from a multi-year buildup like this. Except money, of course. It is a stalling. The worst part for me is that I'm kinda getting into it, and that's not how a good story should work.
>>287419598>Don't worry, Yor, I wouldn't die even if they killed me>>287419643>No, people die if they are killed
>>287419841>>287419899>Loid so lost in thought that he was actually caught off-guard by Anya's shoutYep, he's more compromised than ever before
>>287420552They overshot it by like 5 years but a little earlier and ash/satoshi finally winning a pokémon league could have been a great built up to thing
>>287419379And off they go, An-D and co., the real heroes of this arc o7>>287420009Thanks for the dump
>>287419841>For the sake of my mission >For the sake of my mission >For the sake of safety of my family >For the sake of my mission >Dental plan>Anya needs braces
>>287420600After losing in XY, it was insulting to have him win after his apparent lobotomy in SM.
>>287420644lol
>>287420644She's still too young for that, her baby teeth probably aren't even all out yet
>>287420644Heh
>>287420362>I do still hope we get an epilogue to this once Yor and Loid get a moment alone together.I'm worried about Anya being up. I was hoping she'd be asleep so they could have a serious talk when they got home. To be fair, though, Anya was MVP in getting Yor to admit her feelings. Maybe she could do it again.
>>287420600They literally only let him win a literal who farmer's league because of the massive backlash when he lost against that Charizard dude.
>>287420009So what are the odds she managed to gain the courage from this to plant one on him
>>287419643>It seems to happen around me a lot for some reason, I wonder why
>>287420600Man, I was fucking there for the live watch of the XY final match. What a god damn travesty. And it's almost worse that he had to go to Alola and compete in their first ever league to finally get a win.It's like losing the big poker tournament in Vegas and then running off to the Philippines to set up their first national poker tournament just so you could win and get a "National Poker Champion" plaque to hang on your wall.
>>287419942What a failure of a spy
>>287421117She got scared by their faces being too close so I don't think she's there yet. Getting close, though. This subplot has been going on in the background for years and this is the second time in, I think, under a year that Axeman heavily teased it. There has to be payoff soon, though I wouldn't expect more than a cheek kiss until the end.
>>287420196>And this latest incident doesn't give him a better understanding of what was already there. It's almost a repeat of Mole ending.Mole arc was just a waste of time and this arc is more proof of it. I've long been disappointed with how Axeman curtailed everything by forcing Fiona to save the day and erasing any tension of Yuri suspecting Loid's true identity. He never let Loid address the source of his actual weakness was before shifting the blame on Wheeler, so we couldn't even say if he progressed or regressed as a result of what happened to him. But it looks like contrary to what people kept saying about it all these years, Loid never actually understood anything about his feelings in that arc.In hindsight, it feels like Axeman realized that he wrote the arc too early into the story and had to scrap every possible long-term development for later chapters. The best thing to come out of it was the epilogue with Chloe's scolding since it did seem to elevate her importance in Yuri's eyes even before this arc.
>>287419309My heroes
>>287421280>I wouldn't expect more than a cheek kiss until the endHonestly I already expected nothing more than this, I just want to see it happenA full on lip kiss isn't going to happen until a decade later
>>287419550>the fucking shojo shadingAxeman really knows his shit I'll give him that
>>287417842Yada yada, a key that opens every lock versus a lock that is opened by every key.
>>287419643Girl, your cover is slipping.
>>287419719>Shut upIt funny when Loid gets fed up on Yuri's bullshit lol
>>287421365Pretty sure he's been using such shading techniques since the earliest chapters, and this example is on the more subtle side
>>287419053>Anya sees Yor being flirty with a stranger>never fully acknowledges her for the rest of the chapterI know Anya was only in like three pages and had maybe five lines, but there's a slim chance she thinks Yor was actually cheating and is mad at her, which could be very funny.
Here is the japanese version of that panel.Some people are trying to see if there's any hidden meaning in the way the phrase are arranged.There's probably nothing, but you never know.
>>287419899>Martha driving an armored personnel carrierHoly based!
>>287419745One of the SSS high command had an affair with an actress form the show and that was a big reason for the shitty ending, the terrorist as bad as they were treated the people nicely and fixed the ending. This puts the government in a bad light for the general population
>>287421533I thought I saw a really screwed swastika from the thumbnail
>>287419806I'm 100% sure this is the first time in his life he felt horny

>>287419951I would have said exactly the same thing as Anya there at her age. Does the ride have a bazooker in it?
>>287419841There we go. Emotionally compromised.
>>287421758He has been for a long time but this is the first time he has confronted it
>>287421117Nah, Loid needs to be in danger once again before she realize that she has to do things before something bad happens
>>287421413I am DYING for Loid to meet Hemlock to see if he can pick up on obvious assassin tells when they appear in people that aren't his wife.
>>287417842Unironically it's because women don't care if he's used goods as long as he isn't falling for other women
>>287421932Should be able to, Yor is his blind spot
>>287419841Abort mission [REDACTED] is compromised.

>>287419078This panel
>>287421416They honestly act more like siblings than Yor and Yuri do
I wonder if Yor got to keep the costume, and if we would ever get to see it brought back or at least referenced again
>>287419643Kinda hypocrital coming from an active paid assassin
>>287422080Yeah lolThe show basically went from one cuck ending to another
>>287421932If they do meet and he's able to clock Hemlock immediately, then he really did fall in love at first sight with Yor.>>287422082Of course they do, Yor is functionally Yuri's mom more than his sister so Loid gets all the actual sibling rivalry.
>>287422104how? its just a factual statement given from experience

kissbros...
>>287422268Two more weeks, trust the plan
>>287422294and the pregnancy?
There are more chances of Frankly kissing Fiona than Yor and Loid kissing, lol.
>>287421699Give me a break, it was one line that I read more than a month ago. Shit is even worse then, he changed things because his mistress was a fan of the show
becky NO!
Becky is so hot
>>287419841>>287421533The drop shadow in both the English and Japanese versions is very effective to show the absolute cacophony in his mind. It almost looks like his thoughts are shaking. Not even Melinda's schizo meltdown looked this disturbed.The whole setup is great. He's in full Twilight mode, calm and sure of himself, and then his mind suddenly snags on "emotional." He drifts further off-topic, trying to identify what this emotion even is. Then he immediately snaps back into Twilight mode, possibly from just not wanting to entertain that thought at all. This lasts all of two seconds because the thought he jumped back to was the need to potentially sacrifice Yor if the situation called for it, which his mind instantly rejects. And then everything breaks down. "The safety of my family" and "sacrifice my family" clashing right in the middle is the icing on the cake.Fantastic couple of pages.
>>287418986 Is he a "Sistercon"?
Who would win?
>>287422734my dick
>>287422734One has magic...
>>287422734Yor wouldn't die to a giant hippo falling on her.
So Chloe definitely won the Yuribowl right
>>287422772
>>287422772nooo you cant post heckin ai art think of the starving artits!
>>287422772Why is Gemini art so unispiring?
>>287422642i'm curious did axeman save up this kind of a panel long ago, or it's just something that popped in his head right awayi'm curious because it's a huge tone-shifting page that caught me off guard. not for the first time thoughyeah i guess it's just his style lol
>BBCofor fucks sake the shitposters ruined my brain
>>287416598So I get reimbursed on manga books I buy and I got the first child volumes of this series but so far I've only seen it on Netflix the first two seasons which I'm watching again right now and then I'll watch the movie online and then I'll see season 3 on Netflix. Is there anything I should pay more attention to with the actual manga?>>287422812What is unispiring?
>>287422849You might genuinely want to jump into a noose, Anon.
>>287416598Is the series meant to take place during the Cold War, and are the two countries based on any specific real-world nations or just one singular country?
>>287422877Blame the spammers on every board. Fucking hell
>>287422734i love my girl but elsa fucking negs yor, end of the discussion
small worry beck
>>287422794There's no competition for Yuri to be fair
>>287422896Ostania is East Germany. Westalis is West Germany. It's meant to be the 1960s.
>>287422896They are loosely based on East- and West-Germany during the Cold War, but it's mostly aesthetics. The history is completely made up (for example, the two Germanys were never at war with one another, and East-Germany didn't have elite schools for rich people since it was a socialist country.)
>>287422798Wtf is that child monster on the background
Loid should have asked Yor why she suddenly wanted to act?
Spiderman kiss scene, but it's after a joint mission.
>>287422558I would like to differ
Do you guys think we're getting a Chloe chapter in the near-ish future? She hasn't directly appeared since 114 and wasn't watching the TV in this arc, but just now Yuri brought her up twiceWe're overdue Loid and Yor meeting Chloe. (Also, hope we can see Yuri-Franky interactions next chapter)
>>287422904I blame you for not being able to filter them out while reading. If you internalized the shitposting this hard, it's too late for you. Kill yourself.
>>287422959next chapter should be about these two
>>287422371To clarify a bit more, wasn't the mistress also the actress herself? She basically had her boyfriend enable her to act out her own fantasy of which actor she wanted to end up with.
>>287423056it's over
>>287423053I don't even know who that is.
>>287422434I forgot to mention it when I came to the thread but reading the chapter seeing her say senior disciple made me want to see wuxia themed fanart of spy x family
>>287422772>>287422798
>>287423079mistress is the singer not the actress
>>287423079No, the mistress was some other opera singer or something that had nothing to do with the show itself. She WAS a guest in the live show Yor and Loid were at, but she didn't have a role in the TV show proper
>>287421533looks like a sword that's stabbing something to me, the middle portion
>>287422849Same, it's hard not to see it now
Who cares, where's Becky
>>287419490>>287419550>>287419598Cute!>>287419643Or maybe not...
>>287423195In the chapter
>>287422988>>287422987Did the two countries used to be one before they were split between two sides in this world’s equivalent of the Cold War? And are they basically proxies for conflicts, similar to how various wars during the Cold War were arguably fought between the USSR and the democratic world? I’d rather not get into specifics that might be too controversial.
>>287419841NOOOOOO Fiona we need you to fix Twilight.Don't let him be compromised
>>287423088Yuri’s not-girlfriend with the purple hair, from the secret police.
>>287423053>Also, hope we can see Yuri-Franky interactions next chapterWe'd need something to motivate it, like Anya introducing them, since Franky was upset to even be in the same room as an SSS member and I doubt Yuri wants to talk to one of Loid's friends.
>>287422671Proof?
>>287422929The hell with her, she wants rich people to win.
>>287423397The secret panel Axeman never meant for us to see.
>>287423224I don't think they were ever one country, though there's a very important subplot about a dead empire that's been brewing behind the scenes that both Anya and Yor have connections to that seems like it could've potentially been made up of parts of both countries. We don't know what's going on with that.
>>287423289Yuri's what now?
>>287423224Westalis and Ostania have always been treated as the two major powers at least on their continent, with the two big wars in the backstory being between them rather than world wars.As for if they were ever one country, the closest they've come to hinting that is a propaganda statement about the first big war being a war of "unification" or something like that, but overall the two nations are treated as having been separate for a very long time at least and to have little in common in the present.
>>287423289>purpleI'd call her hair red, not purple. It's an auburn or maroon.
>>287423289Why does she like him anyway? Is it just to give Yuri the mandatory love interest, or was there an actual reason she liked him?
>>287423634Axemannu made Chloe because everytime he saw Fiona x Yuri art it made him seethe with rage.It's true I just know.
>>287423079No, she's just some random celebrity (woman who sleeps around) and the communication minister was just a simp
>>287423474His girlfriend in all but name. Their relationship is like Loid and Yor’s.
>>287423634They knew each other in college, I got the impression he intrigued her with his bratty behavior and exceptional grades, leading to her wanting to see just who he really is.
>>287421370That line has always been BS, because it makes it seem like men are the ones pushing for the right to be able to sleep around. The fact is, if women were truly bothered by it, they would cut back. but women aren't bothered by it; they just want to be able to slut around themselves.
Praying, hoping, begging for an immediate continuation to today's chapter instead of putting compromised Twilight on the backburner like so many other things.
>>287420009Great Arc
>>287417101a full tank is the least i will accept
>>287423752I'll be frank, I have no recollection of such a character.
>>287419224cut and print? it's a live show
>>287419053>mom is a whoreAnother reason for Anya to change of mother.
>>287424048Are you new to the manga? She was introduced in the Wheeler arc, had a major appearance right after it, and had several smaller but still memorable appearances after that. She's by no means a major character, but it's hard to miss her.
>>287423996If that artist continues to put out Loid and Yor icha icha books then that will become a reality. We're currently at 6 books of them having raw sweaty, nakadashi, leglocking, and kissing sex.
>>287419899>literally coming to save this shit arcHeh.
>>287423634It's both. Yuri needed a love interest for Axeman to sink Yuri/Fiona once and for all after no one gave a shit about Franky/Fiona, and Chloe was introduced as his old college classmate that accepts both the good and bad parts of his personality.
>>287422342Two years, I promise
>>287423946That's Yuri in the dress btw.
>>287422929
>>287424165I've been reading the manga for a few years now (I guess since season 1 aired, but I didn't watch that other than some clips on youtube). I wouldn't call myself a big fan. I just read every new chapter and then don't think about it too much other than posting in these threads every few weeks or so.Now that I briefly skimmed the wiki article of that arc, I do remember her. But I don't find her that memorable.
Chapter artCute yor
Two war orphans licking each other's wounds is hot.
>>287419598>>287419643>bro just wait until the end I swear something will happenWell now it is confirmed to be the worst arc of the entire series.
>>287417842Purity in men is of no value
>>287420009Mission compromised, let's abandon Loid
Is the movie anything from the manga or is it an original story like most one piece movies?
>>287421370A car station that services many cars is good, but a car that has to stop by on every station is shit. What a retarded argument. (And I keep seeing it used as if it was wise or profound.)
>>287424751Completely original but a fun little side story especially during the wait for S3
>>287424751Code:White? It's its own original story
>>287424574:>
>>287423224>the USSR and the democratic world? Why did you say USSR twice??
>>287424574So what's the context of these
>>287424782You keep seeing it used because internet virgins do not understand sexuality in women. And think that a woman shouldn't want to have sex.
>>287419379Incredible, my utmost respect towards these people
>>287425102Those misc Anya images are just Axeman being an idolfag and pandering to them.
>>287424691I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but dang this look for Yor has inspired a lot more fan art than the sexy military garb she had on for the Garden arc.
When are we going back to the main plot (Desmond)
>>287425207If Twilight was there with her then we would have gotten much more military camo Yor art
>>287424715There's going to be one more chapter. Axeman has a fascination with having the penultimate chapter end with things feeling unresolved and everyone looking off into the distance. Especially in LoidYor arcs for some reason, though he arguably did this with the Martha and bus arcs too to some extent. He has never ended an arc with things just up in the air like this.
>>287419053thanks for delivering as always
>>287425200I don't think it's pandering so much as him just using Anya as an avatar to express himself cause she makes funny faces and she's easy to draw. Yor is also sometimes included because she also makes funny faces sometimes. Loid is usually reserved for expressing frustration or exhaustion.
What Loid sees.
>>287425207Most fanartists are girls and Bumblina is cuter than military Yor.
>attend mass last night>after mass someone has a decal of Anya making that 'heh' face on the back of their car.
>>287416645Loid NTRing Yuri
>>287425488Those Anya images are direct references to idol shows he attends or watches. It's 100% pandering to them and not the same as him drawing a picture of dead Loid to show he's tired.
>>287422642I really like this because it's finally chipping away at the overlap between mission and family that Loid has that's always made his character feel so stagnant compared to everyone else. Being a good husband and father always benefitted Loid's mission, so his incentive to care for Anya and Yor could always be written off as just that.But here he finally pulls on the thread and has to question why he prioritized Yor's life over his even though he's technically the most valuable asset of his mission. He can't even fully process the idea of going through with either choice because he's just that unused to thinking sentimentally. It just further proves his methods and rationale as a spy are all a massive cope for his own trauma from the war, not something he must rigidly adhere to in order to be a good spy.
>>287424715Not even close, it's easily in the top 3 for the comedy alone.
This arc was great.
>>287425828I agree but only if the payoff next chapter is something special. If we skip around again and a scene when everyone gets back home is omitted then it's lacking something, but still better than other arcs.
>>287424239>Franky/FionapukeI would rather one of them die.Someone needs to fucking die in this story
>>287425267>Its actually the nose that is most noticeable if it isn't camoed well.
>>287425828Too bad, you're getting a dozen Eden chapters (raughs)
This manga is slowly becoming a shoujo.
>>287425858I know some people are hoping for a cheek kiss, but I don't know if Loid starting to key onto the idea that Yor likes him is what he needs right now. Maybe it could get him to take another look at his own feelings, but I think it's more likely to end up being a distraction.A talk may be good. Or maybe he sees his gun when he's putting his stuff away and it makes him think back to what happened. I really just want him to think about it.
>>287425981Anon she's thinking about kissing him.
>>287426103Yor would NEVER
>>287426093Forget the cheek kiss. That aint happening.Yor already said her part and her window to thank him with a kiss sorta vanished when she chastised him for being reckless for her sake.What I also want is just for Axeman do keep going and have Twilight think more about it instead of leaving it at what we got today. He was questioning his un-spy like actions back when he got shot, and he's doing it again now. But the man who overthinks is not allowed to connect any dots about what is going on. He's just left confused and we move on.Something more concrete would be appreciated instead of faltering now.
>>287425953Well, they're both favorites for that happening. Fiona keeps death flagging herself and Franky's the most disposable character whose death could actually create meaningful change in the story. I could also see Yor killing the SSS Lieutenant or someone from WISE killing McMahon. Just to make everyone pissed off at each other for maximum endgame drama.
I hope at the end Loid leaves and Anya becomes an orphan againStupid bitch
>>287426341This
>>287425102I see wife sex.
>>287424183Sauce?
>>287416598Palcomix VIP made a comic of this series. The husband, wife and daughter did it.
>>287426341Let's abandon Anya!
>>287419550>You can see Loid reflected in her eyesCute!
I... I don't like yandere Yor... She's scary...
>>287417842Why would they?
Do you guys like comedy arcs where the focus is on Loid and Yor, with Anya taking a temporary back seat?
>>287419899I swear an APC painted pink would have been my mom's ideal vehicle for taking us to school as a kid
>>287423296Axe-man could do something with Franky being more of an uncle to Anya than Yuri
>>287419643The eyes say it allThose are the eyes of a woman who does not want to lose you
>>287419379>elder god tier>villains whose motives are hard to find fault in and arguably better than the hero's
>>287425207>sexy military garbI mean, that's not overtly sexy unless you like women in uniform
>>287426543Ideally all of them would be present doing something like the Cruise or Bomb dog arc. Or the Code White movie. But Anya has gotten pretty flanderized and boring as of late so I don't mind if she's ignored for the arc.
>>287419309Mad respect for these guys for owning their act
>>287426085Too slowly, the main couple would've already fucked at least twice.
>>287425293Man. I was never one to waifufag, but Yor on the couch hugging a pillow is really damn cute.
>>287426543Yes, though I agree with the other anon. I'd prefer all three of them together, but with the old Anya. Not who she is now. I liked her interaction with Yor at the end of the Garden arc, though, so maybe she just needs to be separated from the other kids.
>>287426307I don't know if Loid realizes that this isn't the first time he's almost gotten himself killed for Yor. If he does more flashing back next chapter, maybe he'll connect the two. I'd really, really like him to get to the question of why rather than shying away from it.The bit about him not liking the idea of Yor with other men is also as of yet unaddressed, but I don't think that part needs to be looked at immediately. It's part of the aforementioned why, but having Loid realize he loves her and is encroaching upon being in love with her at the same time is probably too much of an ask.
>>287426726>>287426932I feel about the same. Anya is written as a joke character more often to her detriment now. But Anya from the boat and dog arcs was still clever and driven even if she got distracted by her own whims. Maybe she would've helped here too, but I think this situation where Loid, Yor, and Yuri all neutralized each other and were forced to cooperate to hide their own secrets was a fun twist.
>>287426377Yordere underrated.
My best friend is a blond tall dude and his wife has long, dark hair like Yor. Reading Spy x Family is fun when inserting my friends into these characters because they really do somewhat look like them.
>>287427368does your bestie know you fantasize about him and his wife?
>>287427432Probably not. Nothing wrong with some irl shipping though.
>>287421533Pic related is just wishful thinking, but imagine if Axeman actually hid a message in that panel.
>>287425200I know about the idolfaggotry, but what's the specific context of that pic and the similar ones that he sometimes uploads? Pic rel.
>>287425633I wasn't saying it wasn't him being an idolfag. Just that the reason he uses his characters for it rather than drawing the idols themselves is that he likes to express himself through his characters, but usually uses them for specific things.
Could they have been any less subtle with this???
>>287426331It's funny how perfectly Nightfall's character fits in Loid's monologue about death being the most foolish end for a spy because it creates a trail that can lead to other people from the agency getting exposed as well. It really feels like she's built for sacrifice given how many different people keep telling her that she's going to get herself killed and that her death wouldn't be too emotionally damaging to most of the cast but could trigger a lot of story developments from its fallout. That said, this being marketed as a family-branded story keeps me from believing he'll ever pull the trigger to kill her off.
>>287428098>big bond cockAnya is corrupting Becky pure love...
>>287422342Douzo
>>287428193
>>287428098Big Beckys Cock? I don't get it....BUT LOID WILL! Heyoooo
>>287420154I actually really liked that panel despite it being mostly dialogue. Having characters meet and interact for the first time always injects new life into the story.
>>287428098No no, keep trying to repost and force it, everyone know that's the best way to make it stick. Not tiresome at all goy. Try again in a couple hours.
>>287419643It took 7 years but Twilight finally met the Thorn Princess.
>>287428127>this being marketed as a family-branded story keeps me from believing he'll ever pull the trigger to kill her off.I think he'll do it. To someone, not necessarily Fiona. The Martha arc was brutal, Loid's flashback was only marginally better, and Yor's backstory is guaranteed to be a bloodbath. Even Bond was shown to have been tortured.If you're saying he won't kill Fiona because she's a recurring character, I don't think that would save her either. She's not especially well liked, nor would her death absolutely destroy a character that is like Yuri's death would do to Yor. I think the only secondary characters with plot armor are Yuri and the kids and maybe Chloe. I don't know why, I just feel like Chloe is safe.
>>287420344>mini-arcThis arc was as long as most of the other arcs, about five chapters with another one likely to wrap it up in the next. Only cruise arc doubled the length.
>>287428758Crusie arc was so fucking ass. Yor can not carry that many chapters.
>>287426543I like arcs where Anya and Twilight are bouncing off each other. There hasn't been one in ages.
>>287419379I can't believe the terrorists are gonna get executed for this
>>287428758If it ended here, it would technically be the shortest by a single chapter as most are 6-7. Though it won't. There's obviously an epilogue.>>287428788You are wrong.
Man I sure hope that Yuri doesn't go back to being an insufferable mood ruiner the next time he shows up. And that him softening up was literally only for a chapter and he doesn't get any character development after all.His behavior this chapter doesn't instill confidence that he learned anything.
>>287428965I hope he does. Hating Yuri is the best tell of a midwit fan.
>>287429011Wanting a character to stay static is the biggest tell that you're talking to a genuine idiot however.
Fiona is so far behind everyone else, character wise it is not even funny
>>287429060I don't think Fiona's really meant to be a dynamic character. She was created just to move Loid and Yor along. She did that with her introduction, though admittedly Axeman didn't seem to know what to do with her after that. She calls Loid out as being compromised to the reader occasionally, but it's odd that she hasn't interacted with Yor again since. They're supposed to be foils.
>>287429060Fiona was surely going to die to prove some point to Twilight, but her status as a "fan favorite" meant she was spared that fate and now Axeman doesn't know what to do with her since he hardly writes about Twilight let alone WISE.
>>287428657>If you're saying he won't kill Fiona because she's a recurring character, I don't think that would save her either.This is what I'm getting at. The series has never shied away from death nor is that ever a disqualifier for family-brand shows, like Detective Conan for example. But it seems harder to get away with killing off a recurring character for good even if it would make sense for the story.But who knows, neither of these manga are finished so we could see character deaths happen to recurring support characters once the authors actually start wrapping it all up.
>>287417842men and women aren't same. man can't choose random woman and have sex with her by the end of the day.
>>287421370A truly moronic way to address this issueYou can't just reframe it with a metaphor and then act like the figurative ideas apply to the real thing with no justification for itYeah, a key that can open any lock is usefulBut you have to explain why a man is comparable to a key or the point becomes useless
>>287419551pretty much. One step forwards, 2 steps back. Ideally there is more development about Redacted's feelings, but this is popular enough there might be a demand to just keep it going for as long as possible
>>287419643The best she has ever looked
>>287429145I don't think Fiona is meant to be Yor's foil in the same way that Yuri is meant to be Loid's. One anon called her the anti-Yor and that's still probably the best way I've heard her be described. She doesn't just have nothing in common with Yor, she's her total opposite. There's no real reason for her to want Twilight, and she likes the chase more than actually getting what she wants.>>287429335Well, Loid did win the popularity poll...
>>287429335The arc or the trend? This arc seems exceptionally pre-planned with how well everything was laid out so I don't see it going beyond its projected end next chapter, but if you mean the trend, yeah, I could see that. LoidYor development has been a big point of interest for Axeman lately. Kind of nuts after how much he dragged his feet on it over the years.
>>287429840The manga. For various popular manga there have been rumors and statements that things tend to drag out because it makes money for the publishers so they want it to go on for as long as they can. Often times that is what is blamed for a lot of popular manga ends being mediocre. That and the usual work schedule for mangaka. A large part of why One Piece has the schedule it has is because Shonen Jump is terrified of what happens if Oda were to fall ill, die, or the story takes a nose dive in quality. I think it's caused actual changes in the industry with how mangakas are treated and how things are edited. This arc for SpyXFamily was great, I've enjoyed every bit of it. I just hope we see real development from it and it's not a return to normal so that more chapters can be made for people to consume
Has Yor given anyone paizuri?
>>287430129Redacted will be her first and only. He just needs to survive it.
>>287420009based chapter, thank dumpanon!
>>287427285Man she looks beautiful hereI would risk death for a wife like that
>>287430294>t.
>>287419806If that were true, he would've fucked Fiona through the floorboards already.
>>287419490>>287419550>>287419598>If you were to die, what would become of Anya?It's sweet that Yor is saying all this to Loid while still under the impression that he doesn't love her the same way she loves him. She really thinks he's just risking his life over nothing by protecting her so she has to invoke Anya to stop him from doing it again. But obviously if that was really the case, he wouldn't have been so brain broken on the elevator once he realized what he did for her.
>>287419876I think that whap was actually earned this time. Yor did it out of true worry and frustration for Loid's actions than her own embarrassment.
>>287424782But a car station that exclusively services you to its full extent is even better. I don't fully agree with the key/lock analogy either for a different reason but this is just equally retarded.
Does anything ever happen? I stopped watching after season 2.
>>287431695We're currently waiting for Anya's sibling to arrive.
>>287431799Is this true? How long does it take to get to where they acknowledge each other's feelings?
>>287431799I hope so, but feel like that's going to part of the conclusion and epilogue
The tease of a Yor hug
>>287431695Yor realized she was in love with Loid last year and Loid seems to be cluing in on feeling something for Yor with this arc, but we won't know what the payoff will be till next chapter. Also Donovan's an alien or something.>>287431848Anon's just fucking with you, but for reference, the major romantic developments are about 60-70 chapters after where you left off. The anime won't reach it for at least a few more years. But go read this >>287419841 if you wanna see Loid short circuiting over whether to prioritize Yor's life or the mission. It's very cute.
It's super real you guys.Please believe
>>287431988I want this to be real so bad, but fear that it would be the conclusion of the manga.
>>287424574HD
>>287419224Shonenfags look like this?
>>287419643Loid probably just got the weirdest but most passionate hardon he's ever had from a single sentence
>>287432008The epilogue is them coming back to Ostania ten years later from wherever they ran away to in the final chapter, greeting Yuri with his five new nieces and nephews.
>>287419643HOT
>>287421353w-what's going on here? are they having breakfast in bed or something?
>>287433081Well... I mean it could be seen that way.
>>287419841>Main realizing the women he's been dating is an important and unexpectable integral part of his life This is literally EVERY MAN ever. Seriously. Not a joke. Every guy starts dating a girl, thinks it's nothing (just a thing, youknow?), and then suddenly find themselves jumping in front of a gun for herAnother case of SpyXFamily normalizing normal relationship evolution
>>287433081Protein shake.
>>287419309>fucking secondaries REEEEE
>>287431471I think she knows that he was protecting her because she's not surprised when Yuri tells her, but she thinks he was just doing it because he's a kind person. You're right that Yor has a very warped perception of what Loid feels for her, though. She's elevating not even Anya but Anya's feelings over her own life. And she thinks this will work. In other words, she thinks Loid would be more upset over sad Anya than dead Yor.Yor placing no value in herself has been part of her character since the concept stage, but I don't even think she realizes they're friends, let alone that he's having an internal crisis over her.
I need to see a page of Twilight looking like this once he realizes what those feelings are.
>>287434089And Yor looking like this too
>>287433848Yeah, that's exactly it. She thinks that Loid is kind enough to throw his life away to protect anyone, even her. But it's hard to blame Yor for thinking this way. When she asked more directly about how he felt about her and their marriage, his answers all left her with the impression that he was acting considerate towards her instead of being invested in their relationship. And if he can't realize why he's willing to risk his life for Yor then she's not going to figure it out yet either.
He's on the cusp of realizing that he cares about Yor more than he should. He doesn't even have to call it love yet. But have the next chapter actually finish that train of thought instead of ignoring it in favor of some other story beat.Anya straight up stopped him from realizing what he feels this chapter. It can't end like this else the author is a coward.
>>287434474I'm not so sure he was about to make any kind of breakthrough. Indeed his thoughts seemed to be breaking down into panic or a madness mantra. Perhaps Anya distracting him was in fact what he needed in order to calm down and reflect on things later.
>>287434569I'm worried that the "reflect on things later" is happening next year however.
>>287428965Nah, I hope Yuri comes back and tries to get his sister to break up with Loid.
>>287434629>HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T PUT A BABY INSIDE MY SISTER YET LOILOI
>>287420009Neat little arc. Concise while allowing room for jokes based on the absurdity of it all.
>>287434629He probably won't try to break them up, but he'll definitely be an annoying little cockblock.
>>287417842something something master key and broken lock
>>287416598Spy family has been hitting bump limit more and more what happened?
>>287419643>>287419841Seriously didn't expect Yor to make Loid become so conflicted over his spy and family duties.
>>287434770An engaging arc centered on more than one main character.
>>287434722yeah after this arc he has pretty much accepted Loid as his brother in law>>287434770read the current arc.
>>287434569I wouldn't mind seeing him break down. Normally it's done for comedic purposes but I think most people are invested in seeing the characters reach their breaking points.
>>287434597I genuinely cannot imagine it won't be addressed in the epilogue. It feels like it's the only issue that's still open from this arc.
>>287419224>>287419260>>287419309>>287419379>filmed their preferred ending>everyone watching loved it>surrender and release their hostages>audience becomes their stalwart defenders>even the police are reluctant to arrest themTotal terrorist victory.
>>287419899Since when Anya called them papa and mama? It was father and mother before.I really need to re-read this.
>>287425630Exactly. It's canon even.
>>287434770What in the fuck are you talking about, every single thread is led to bump limit by the Yor spammer no matter the reason, he just disappear sometimes depending on the OP.
>>287434770I didn't realize how rare this was. They used to all hit bump limit then the Martha arc killed everyone. Aside from the Melinda sort-of-arc and the Garden arc, threads were always below until this arc. Spyfags go into hibernation unless there's shipping or aliens.
>>287435425Inaccurate, though I'm curious who this mysterious Yor spammer is. Are you talking about that guy that used to try to get the whole thread to participate in his fetish? Cause he's been gone for a while.
>>287417842he isnt
>>287435379Don't know what weird translation you've been reading, but Anya has never used such formal language for Loid and Yor.
>>287435379Anya has ALWAYS called them papa and mama. This isn’t a new thing with her. Are you sure you’ve read the manga?
>>287435199What conclusion is reasonable to expect from this though? It feels like Axeman has always either aborted Loid's introspection monologues or have him deflect by projecting on another character whenever an arc has him approach a breakthrough.
>>287419643loid probably thought she was talking about her parents, which probably hurts even harder since all 3 of his family are orphans
>>287435522I think he's talking about the anon that keeps spamming fanart
>>287419841some random jap on twitter pointed out that his internal conflict spells すき (love) in the rawsprobably not a stretch, I wouldn't doubt if it were on purpose
>>287419899>BB Co.hehe
>>287435722Too much of a stretch imo.You can make a lot of characters with that shape. It'd be neat if it was true though.
>>287435671Meh. Sharing fanart has always been part of our thread culture. I agree it's a bit more than necessary, but it doesn't bother me that much, I guess.
>>287435652She might've been. Yor is an assassin but she was an orphan first. We still don't know the circumstances surrounding her parents' deaths and how it might've affected her.
Stop picking on Endo, you freaks
>>287419224>anya is a battle shounenbabMy opinion of her has reached a new low.
>>287435840Yuri even got a four leaf clover for Bond (because he’s such a nice guy.)
>>287419841Compromised.
>>287435863we love the man
>>287419224>loid with the fin sign cute
Between this panel, Yor grimly reminding Loid that people can suddenly and unexpectedly die, and Loid’s internal monologue about how a spy’s death is the worst case scenario because it can expose their organization, I wonder if this is Axeman foreshadowing himself killing somebody off. Not a member of the Forgers or Briars of course, no way Loid or Yor or Yuri will come to any real harm, but I wonder if Sylvia or Fiona might be on the chopping block.
>>287435652>>287435856I saw people talking about this elsewhere. It's an interesting idea, especially because there's a beat panel of her grimacing and clutching her fist against herself for a moment before she turns deadly serious and tells Loid that "People die. They can die, just like that." She's usually very cavalier about murdering people so this bitter, dead-faced reaction to death certainly stands out.>We still don't know the circumstances surrounding her parents' deaths and how it might've affected her.>inb4 she found them if they weren't outright murdered in front of her
>>287435626The next chapter should be Loid and Yor hugging and kissing for 20 pages.
>>287421364yor will initiate a cheek kiss, but it'll be twilight to initiate the liplock
>>287436187Fiona has had death flags since the start, Sylvia is too much of a bad bitch to ever die
Family ooting next
Forehead kiss when?
>>287435626That I don't know. I agree that Axeman's track record with Loid is terrible, but this is the first time there's been Loid development since Axeman put his nose to the grindstone. Maybe this time will be different? Doesn't hurt to be optimistic.It may be recency bias, but this arc at least feels like the most development Loid has gotten at once since the beginning of the manga. Especially if his feelings are indeed starting to turn romantic.
>>287435579>>287435580Not that anon, but in Japanese she calls them "chichiue" and "hahaue" which is quite more formal than "mama" and "papa.
>>287436228The verb she uses on that page in the original is equivalent to saying "pass away"; it's a gentler way to refer to dying. Most comments I've seen seem to think she phrases it this way because she's an assassin, but I have seen some that wonder if her parents' deaths also contributed to her view of life being fragile.
>>287416598I dropped the manga after the bus arc, should I hop back on? I know the chapter schedule is agonizing and the plot is slow so is it better to wait for one more year or catch up?
>>287420009soon
>>287436830Except she still gets that wrong. She calls them "Chichi" and "Haha" which is how someone would politely refer to their own parents in conversation, not what they'd call them to their own family. There isn't a good equivalent to this blunder in English, so they go with Papa and Mama, which has the same plausible deniability when Anya is talking about them to other people but less formal than Loid wanted her to be with them.
>>287437425Just catch up now. Loid and Yor have not kissed, but their relationship has still made progress. After this chapter, the suspense and tension of not knowing what will happen in the next is killing me (in the best way.)
>>287422959she should take him to her apartment and fuck him
>>287437544Alright then. One more question, how’s my boy Bond?
>>287423634>Why does she like him anyway?literally male yor with all the quirks and good looks that are very attractive for cat-like tsunderes (Loid and Chloe)
>>287437700Largely irrelevant, sadly. Bond has been featured in a couple chapters since the bus arc, but his precognition hasn’t really been used lately.
>>287436823I think my expectations are just tempered by his history and his own admission that Loid has changed so little over the course of the story. It's not that I'm pessimistic, but that I can't imagine what kind of change he would allow Loid to have even if he's this deep into the story.I agree that it feels like Axeman's finally gotten into a good rhythm this past year compared to the three that came before it. There's a continuity through all the arcs since the winter festival, which is probably why it feels like the beginning of the manga. Everything stays connected even if it's not immediately resolved.
>>287421533>>287423138That's sort of how I'm taking it. The standard reading is vertical, which has his "correct" logic.>For the sake of my mission, my safety->For the sake of my mission, I'll sacrifice myself.>For the sake of my mission->For the sake of-But it keeps getting interrupted by the "incorrect" emotional horizontal reading.>For the sake of my mission, my family's safety->For the sake of my mission,>I'll abandon>my family.>For the sake of my mission->For the sake of my mission->For the sake of my mission-
>>287437807Bond turning into a rarely used plot device rather than a character was probably inevitable. He's a dog. Even if he's an artificially smart dog, he's still a dog. It's nigh impossible to develop his character because there's little character to develop. He's also can't talk so he's limited in how much he can affect other characters.Bond's precognition being restricted to places he'll actually be also limits him a lot, I think. Axeman can't do cool stuff like have him see Loid walk into a trap on a mission or see Yor get shot and then have him spring into action to prevent these things from happening because there's no way he'd be in those places naturally.
>>287437807Damn, well at least he’s been used. Thanks for the info, anon. I’ll catch up and pray we get some good shit these upcoming chapters.
>>287428657Fiona isn't liked.She's LOVED
>>287438564Axeman played fast and loose with the rules of Bond's precognition when he wrote him seeing an aerial view of Loid dead from the bomb in the dog arc, so I don't see why he doesn't occasionally do something like that as long as he doesn't abuse it too often.
>>287437845rare loid
>>287431950Holy hot damn so this is another case of will they won't they? Guess we're never getting chronicles of what happenes AFTER they get together, which already sounds infinitely more interesting.
>>287438838Yeah kinda. We know they will get together but basically everyone expects that to only happen towards the end.>Guess we're never getting chronicles of what happenes AFTER they get together, which already sounds infinitely more interesting.Them getting together prior to identity reveal has more dramatic potential than them getting together after so I would really like if that happened. Even if it means they break up and have to get back together later.
>>287438946how could loid abandon his family, and in extension operation strix? only if he abandons it all... but returns to save them because he loves them!
>>287438340>For the sake of my mission, I'll sacrifice myself.I would say this one isn't mission "correct." For the sake of his mission, he's supposed to NOT sacrifice himself. That was the whole point. He's supposed to sacrifice Yor, but he can't make himself accept that and so he keeps defaulting back to sacrificing himself.
Loid-investigates-Yor arc soon?
The henderson getting framed mystery arc should have been a henderson was murdered mystery arc
Loid getting some milk and ciggies arc when?
>>287439287bro couldn't even do it when it was just him and Anya, there's no way he can do it now
>>287439362Memory loss Arc
>>287419899Nothing will snap you back to reality better than your own (fake) daughter's retardation
>SxF thread with almost 500 posts>it’s not a pedo threadHoly crap it’s a Christmas miracle
>>287439500the chapters have been good for a while now which keeps the shitposters away
>>287439199Yeah, it could be rephrased. The vertical text is him thinking about himself (自分) while the horizontal text clashing with it is about his family (家族). Even though they used to overlap without issue on his mission, his priorities have shifted to where his safety is becoming less important than that of his family's, which caused him to start breaking down. It wasn't a problem before, but Yor made him realize how serious it's gotten.
>>287439233It would be funny if this was just the entire subject of the epilogue chapter. Could lead to a cute payoff.
When Loid finally comes to terms with his feelings for Yor, will he be able to hide them? Or will she notice a change in his behavior?
>>287439979
>>287421419It's the shoujo filter coming back again.
>>287419550Shattered clavicle
>>287436228>>287437257Seeing how quickly the shutters come down here, I wouldn't be surprised if "haha I'll be ok, I'm not going to die or anything!" turns out to be some unpleasant phrasing as far as Yor's past is concerned.
>>287440578Yor getting weird about death at all is what suggests to me there may be something more there. The pause and the glance downward before she starts talking gets me. She stopped to think about something and it wasn't pleasant.It would be neat if her backstory was somewhere near-ish on the horizon. There was already some Nielsberg tease back in 114 with Yor startling at the idea of going back there. I really want them to go there. Imagine a little family trip arc with Yor's backstory speckled across it. The epilogue could emphasize how much the Forgers saved her.
>>287439793cute Fiona
>>287425858>>287426093I think it's a 50/50 chance we get another chapter ending this arc or if it's back to school arc shenanigans
How was code:white?
>>287442008Fun and pretty, but inconsequential.
>>287419643Finally, some fucking character development
>>287442008Fun but also sorta rehashed.It had to be easily digestible for cinema viewing audiences so the plot is straightforward and also doesn't affect the manga canon.
>>287441820There's another chapter. Don't be stupid. Afterwards we're getting a break then maybe a school or other low stakes chapter to give Axeman time to recover and maybe plan what's next. He deserves it. This has been a great arc.
>>287442008First half is "every joke you've already seen in the anime, but now with snow", second part is original stuff that will never be mentioned by anyone, ever. Overal fun, inoffensive, inconsequential. If you want more usual shenanigans, that's exactly what you will get.
As much as I want to see a definitive confirmation that Yor decides that she's unworthy of Loid's/Anya's love while Loid realises his feelings and tries to kill said feelings before he witnesses another tragedy like in the childhood, I just want a chapter or two for their another date where they can just feel that "it's alright for this one last night" and have fun together.Without alcohol and without Twilight. Just Yor and [Redacted]. I don't even need a kiss (which would be much appreciated), but maybe coming home tired and falling asleep on the couch while hugging each other would be enough for me. Both of them are much closer to each other than they realise, and such hug would show how they unconsciously deeply trust each other enough to expose their weaknesses (falling asleep) to each other. Such falling asleep would show how those two orphans, full of mistrust for other people, ready to kill at the drop of a hat can find a safe haven in each others arms.
>>287441197>>287440578If her parents really did some "go hide with little Yuri, we won't die" and then she somehow saw her parents taking the bullets for their safety, then it really makes sense that she instantly went into broken/punished Yor mode.This is literally the exact same thing if someone would pull a bombing and dead mother in one sentence in front of Loid.
>>287442035Sort of like every anime movie then.
>>287419643Yandere kino
>>287442455A night where they decide to indulge themselves for once because it'll be the first and last time they allow it is very sappy and cliche, but I'd also like to see something similar to that.An awkward night out where neither of them are themselves but still oddly comfortable with each other.
>>287417842Because how many women are lining up around the block to be the first to have sex with a man? Almost zero.
>>287419643Funny how REDACTED got instantly turned on the moment Yor's mask slipsI'm kinda hopeful that REDACTED would give Anya lots of siblings if he finds out that Yor is an assassin
>>287442707I've always had the feeling that Yuri is largely in the dark about what happened to their parents. He knows they died, but Yor shielded him from the specifics. I don't have much to base this on beyond that Yuri still exhibits a lot of childish innocence in their flashbacks while Yor seems to have lost hers immediately.
>>287442455>>287443031Why does it have to be the first and last time they drop their guards and be themselves with each other? Why the fuck can’t we just get an ending where Loid and Yor decide to stay together because they love each other, and Anya, too much to leave?
>>287442455>>287443031Add a little page of each of them waking up, realising the situation and deciding to just continue sleeping while snuggling even more ("it's just this one time") and my shoujo self would scream from happiness.Is it cliche? Yes. Is it sappy? Obviously? Do I want it to happen? HELL FUCKING YEAH
>>287419550CUTE
>>287427368cute
>>287443311No you misunderstand.This isn't their ending. This is them thinking that they need to bury what they feel and move on because Yor doesn't see herself as deserving of that love and thinks Loid will never love her, and Twilight knows that getting attached will ruin him.So they indulge just to get it out of their systems but of course it backfires. They went in thinking it was the first and last time but neither can actually let go of what they feel.Of course their eventual ending is a mutual love happy family ending.
>>287443311Because this is Axeman we are talking about?It takes just one week off meds for it to happen!Jokes aside it would be basically the cliche about dropping their family/emotions before the big finale/showdown. But this doesn't actually need to be the endgame. The SSSS vs WISE vs GARDEN vs Aliens can happen, and the last arc can actually be the revival of Westfalia/Ostania and eventual unification. Our MCs already know each others secret identities, now they just need to realise that their "roles" actually became their "true selves" and they now need to learn how to have "normal life". I don't want to see all of that in the epilogue, it would be too much for it.The epilogue can be about a near future, I would be happy enough with seeing some kids from the Loid x Yor and Urui x Chloe parings, while Anya and her boyfriend Damian take care of them. Give me a whole chapter of happiness and optimism. Give me one last title drop that actually drops the "spy" part and final title is just a "family" for maximum feels.
>>287443525>Give me one last title drop that actually drops the "spy" part and final title is just a "family" for maximum feels.I would cry like a little bitch if that happens and I'm all for it.
>>287419643I hope she gives him the same look when they discover each other’s secrets.Dramakino.
>>287419841THE WALLS START TO CRUMBLE
I'm interested in what Loid's reaction is going to be if he does come to terms with having feelings for Yor or even just caring about her more than the mission. What can he even do?
>>287419643I like the idea that for just one moment, Loid saw a murderer where Yor was standing. The same look he's seen a myriad other times in people from a completely different world than the one his family is in. And it's gotten him completely confused and unsure of his own judgement, because how could she possibly be that? It's actually rocked him to the core, but he can't identify the real reason why.I need MORE PROGRESSION THOUGH HOLY SHIT, WHY IS THIS SO SLOW.
>>287444009I could see him taking more missions away from home because he thinks it'd help him stay professional. Unfortunately he forgot that absence makes the heart grow fonder and he'd be even worse when he got back.Easy mini-arc idea right there. Send Twilight away for a bit and watch him crumble some more.
>>287443525Ok, I understand now, I see the vision. Not convinced it’ll happen this way though, but I wouldn’t be mad if it did. >>287443548I can get behind all of this except dropping “Spy” from the title, and the idea of Loid or Yor retiring. I don’t want either of them retiring or living a normal life. That sounds boring, and honestly sounds out of character, given how long they’ve both been at their jobs. I get the impression neither really knows how to “settle down”, and Garden especially doesn’t take resignations, so they’d never let Yor retire. There’d be a fight if she tried.
>>287444009Request to get swapped out of the mission because he's been compromised. He'd ensure his family get the resources to live he wanted to give them when he wondered what would become of them after the mission all those chapters ago.Then Yor and Anya start looking for him and manage to find him using their unique talents that the spy agency couldn't have possibly planned for. And that's how they'll all finally find out all of their respective secrets.
>>287444173There's a popular expectation for the ending to involve the Forgers faking their deaths and fleeing Ostania for a while. That gets Yor away from Garden, Loid away from WISE and more importantly the SSS, and Anya away from both governments. Bittersweet route is that they never come back, but Yuri knows they're alive out there somewhere and Damian can unexpectantly meet Anya again in college. Cotton candy route is that Garden implodes, the government gets rid of the SSS, WISE just lets Twilight go, and everyone just kind of forgets about Anya so they do get to come back eventually. No matter what happens, though, the Forgers are together.
>>287444175>Request to get swapped out of the mission because he's been compromised.I don't see him doing this. I think he already knows he's compromised since he lied to Nightfall about it rather than doing the responsible thing and owning up for the mission. If Sylvia caught him and told him he had to leave them, he'd go, unhappily, but if he can keep the wool pulled over her eyes, I think he'll do it as long as possible.
>>287416598Is spy x family LGBTQ?
>>287444483What development Garden has gotten really doesn't paint them as an antagonistic enough force to need to be escaped or dissolved. I suppose there is enough murkiness in Shopkeeper for something to happen, but his refusal to bend to the SSS and political whims makes him seem pretty principled.
>>287444928Well it right there says it isn't just that some people like to interpret it that way.
>>287444928>Loid Gets Big Titty QTYes. Axeman is stunning and brave.
>>287445060Must be fun when she is a teenager and reads Loid's mind during breakfast about how he wants to bend Yor over the dining table and fuck her there and then.
>>287445133They'll pay Franky to invent some tinfoil horns she wears to block that out.
>>287445133On the table, in the hallway, on the couch, in the kitchen, by the front door, etc. They're going to need a no mind reading policy soon.https://litter.catbox.moe/y388rzyzg7bh2s9e.jpg
>>287444980If Yor obeyed Shopkeeper's every whim for the rest of her life and never got rusty, she and probably Anya would be fine, but Shopkeeper would never be okay with Twilight. Their primary targets seem to be traitors that sell information to the west, with Shopkeeper also implied to be anti-west during the Garden arc. While a spy is not technically a traitor, they might as well be for Garden's purposes.Garden doesn't seem to want war, but Shopkeeper is very antagonistic on a personal level. If he's not even loyal to Yor, I don't think I'd trust him with her family. Plus, he's just kind of a dick. He turned at least two children into disposable child assassins so he fails SxF's nice to kids litmus test pretty bad.
>>287445133$50 says they never find out about Anya’s telepathy and remain forever baffled by her behavior. Also word of god says her “horns” have nothing to do with her power; they’re purely aesthetic, inspired by Axeman’s work on his previous manga Ashe of Purgatory.
>>287445321>Their primary targets seem to be traitors that sell information to the westI'm not convinced of that, given the majority of people we know were killed by them have been terrorists and conventional criminals (the informant Franky worked with who may have been killed by them is part of a world that sells information to pretty much anyone who can pay them).As for "turning children into disposable assassins," the members of Garden seem too well trained and few in number to really be called disposable, quite the opposite really. And I'd wait on seeing the circumstances of recruitment before judging that part.
>>287445461In fairness Shopkeeper has been too willing to attempt to decapitate Yor in a surprise attack. Too me that says disposable despite us only knowing about a few members.If she died there, then she died there and we'd move on. That sort of thing. So I sorta agree with that other anon in that he seems willing to just prune even his own assassins.
>>287445536Shopkeeper seems like the sort of guy who wants only the best working under him. The opposite of nameless, disposable fools like the ones Yor dispatched on the cruise ship. The fact that Yor dodged his attack with the shears proved to Shopkeeper that she hadn’t grown soft after spending time with Loid and Anya, so he felt confident in giving her the mission. If she hadn’t dodged it, well, clearly she wasn’t cut out for the job anymore. It’s certainly ruthless, but I can see how the leader of an organization of assassins would come to think this way.
>>287445461They're pretty explicit on the traitor thing early on. Both Yor's first victim and the one she envisions during her fantasy of Anya shadowing her are labeled as traitors. The other anon already hit the nail on the head with the disposable thing. Shopkeeper does not value Yor. He even said that once they lose their strength, they're worthless. His ruthlessness is just not the mark of a non-antagonist.
