Nondevor posted:Heck, I'm sure they can turn a date night full of incidents into something romantic anyway. See: end of chapter 2. There will absolutely be a chapter, that will begin with them wanting to kill each other, will consist of them demolishing the neighborhood while fighting each other and will end with them kissing passionately. That's non-negotiable.

gnome7 posted:Not to say that I think the manga would be better if he was more suspicious of her, it's just a very funny blind spot for this otherwise overcautious super spy to have. Same for Yor, who completely bought that a car chase with gang of criminal is a completely ordinary event in the life of psychiatrist. I love the implication that them being super spy/super assassin their whole lives, their expectations for physical prowess and general competence of an ordinary person is just completely skewered. "Yes, of course she kicked that grown man through wall, what's so weird about that, everyone can do it, no?"

Even though this chapter wasn't as packed with gags as usual (not saying there weren't any, or even that there were few), I liked it. We needed a chapter that makes it clear where exactly is Loids and Yors relationship (pretty much nowhere) and sets up a starting line from which it can develop further and this one did it nicely. Also Yor and Yuri are apparently family of superhuman alcoholics and this both amuses and terrifies me.

Anya reacting in the background to thoughts and inner monologues of other characters is one of my favorite running gags.

Mulderman posted:Yor... What kind of life have you had up to this point... It actually kinda makes sense - the vast majority of dogs Yor encountered were probably guard dogs of people she was sent to assassinate. Also people are sleeping on Becky and the fact that she considers pink tank, or pink jet, a suitable presents for her.

While I recognize that introducing a love rival is super cliché move, the chapter did actually pretty good job in making me like Nightfall and I hope she eventually ends up with the only man fit for her - Daybreak.

CommissarMega posted:I thought it'd have been obvious, what with Yuri's uniform/job, his nation being 'Ostania' and the whole setting being set in a not-Cold War, it was obvious it was Not!East Berlin. Reminder that Twilight's main target is wealthy businessman as well as leader of a Ostanians nationalistic party and a plot point in one of previous chapters was his company buying out the company of one of Damien's schoolmates. Which doesn't really track to communism, even Soviet-era style communism very well.

chiasaur11 posted:She held down a job and lived on her own for years while maintaining her cover. That requires a certain amount of general life skills, even if Yor's domestic skills have more enthusiasm than effectiveness. You just made me realize that unless she lived her whole live on takeaways and restaurants, Yor had to be able to eat, survive and tolerate her own cooking.

While it's fun to theorize about it, I think it's far too early to go for Loid vs. Yor showdown. We still don't know basically anything about who is employing Yor, or how, or why, so I assume this will be about the organization (Garden?), the various characters in it and their relationship with Yor. We were already teased about like 3 of her colleagues in this chapter, I assume that at least one of them will be introduced soon.

A slow start, perhaps, but I'm really liking the focus they are giving to Olka and her son who might, or might not be an esper. Also of course Yor is bad at the bodyguarding, her whole thing is being a murder savant.

It's interesting that after dozens of chapters of relatively light-hearted cartoony violence we are suddenly getting what looks like a bunch of coldblooded murders.

I really like how it still showcases Twilight's competence. Loid wanted to become the ultimate dad, succeeded slendidly, and Anya had the exact reaction any kid sharing family with the ultimate dad would have to him.

Omobono posted:Didn't Lloyd know his wife is incredibly strong while finding nothing strange in that fact? Why is he suddenly shocked? I'm fairly sure he too is strong enough to pull that stunt. I think he could hand-wave most feats he saw Yor do until now as skills granted by the combination of "esoteric yoga excercises" and "special-forces-grade combat training every civilian has clearly acces to". Meanwhile the thing in this chapter is just pure, superhuman strength. Also, Yor > World Class Chefs.

"I've lost everything I cared about. The only things that were left in my world were the things I despised. And that was reason enough to pick up a gun." drat it Loid... On the other hand, Scruffy and Loid knowing each other for decades, was simultaneously the most and the least surprising reveal in this chapter.

One of the main reasons Loid should kiss his wife is that the alternative is Yor kissing her husband, and I'm not sure Loid would be able to survive that.

IIRC, there was interview with Endo where he said that he was in some serious creative slump and that Spy x Family basically reinvigorated his love for writing, so I don't think he will abandon it anytime soon. Another reason would be the fact that it's one of the most popular shonen manga currently and basically prints money.

Huh, so they are starting the dog arc AND doing the bonus chapter with 2 episodes left until the end of season 1? That's....interesting. (I will laugh my rear end off if they end the season with the clocktower cliffhanger.)

I have really hard time seeing Donovan Desmod opening up to anyone, including his wife. I assume he is courteous and observant, but otherwise an enigma to her. Also I echo the overall sentiment, this is a really good way for Yor to get entwined into the main narrative. Lt. Lizard fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jul 24, 2022 |
