Tsubaki | Rōnin!Toji series | 呪術廻戦

PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 | PART 4 | PART 5

Summary: Toji Fushiguro is a ronin denouncing the Zen'in name. The clan did not take too kindly to being humiliated and decided to set him up.

Word count: 733

Contains: Violence, Gore, Sexual themes of some sort.

a rōnin was a samurai who had no lord or master and in some cases, had also severed all links with his family or clan.

The ronin was being displayed for all to see, beatened and bloody facing the death penalty for the murder of his late wife. A murder he never committed. It was all a blur, one minute he was happy married with his wife and newborn son. The next moment, his son was crying and wailing in his room, while he screamed at his wife's lifeless body.

"Please, wake up!" He shouted, tapping her cold cheek.

"My love, you have to wake up, please. I'm begging you." He hugged her body and cried silently into her body. 

"Don't leave me..."

He gently lied her body down as he heard multiple footsteps coming this way. He felt numb, and could not move his body what so far to defend himself. All he could wonder was, why? Why her of all people? Still numb, he didn't even know he was already on the ground. He blinked for a second and he saw a crowd of people. A man above him with a kitana and a wakizashi sword in front of him.

They were waitng for him to end it all. He is seeing his life flash before his eyes. All be can remember was that clan. That damned clan.

The Zen'in clan is the most "prestigious" family in all of Japan. They along with 2 other big families are responsible for keeping things in line for the country. All seemed well in the clan until it wasn't. A man born disgraced by his own clan. Not living up to the promises of his father, he chose the way of the ronin. He wasn't as lifted as his elder brother was, but still there was something about him like lacked Zen'in.

The man was in his own, no support from anyone. He soon fends for himself. He's done this for a long time,  untill he met his late wife, Himawari. She was the daughter of a local swordsmith. She'd seen him every now and then, give him some food, water and eventually shelter.

"So, do you have a name? Or should I call you the mysterious man?" Himawari giggled.

"It's not that important.." He dismissed the conversation.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." She offered.

"You're determined aren't you?" He asked Himawari. He chuckled a bit and looked at her.

"Toji."

It was all the ronin could think about, until he heard his son crying from a distance. It was when he immediately jerked himself back and frantically looked at the executioner and audience with those feral green eyes of his.

"What are you doing?! Stop him!" A man yelled out.

Toji dodged the executioner swings with his kitana. He gripped the wakizashi sword and jammed it to his juggler, slicing his neck. The crimson coming from the executioner's neck was coming out at a rapid rate as he fell before the people.

People were screaming and panicking as Toji jumped down from the stage, and walked over to the other men who were holding his son. He didn't say much to know they had something of his and he'd like it back. They didn't hesitant giving him his son back. Toji gently takes his son, and just walks off.

No one was stopping him after what he did to that executioner. They don't know whohe is or where he came from. But all they do know is, he's not someone to fuck with.

News about this ronin spread and it spread FAST, it even got to the place of pleasure, Yoshiwara. Other women whispered to themselves about the strange man.

"Did you hear?"

"He slit the executioner's neck and blood was EVERYWHERE!"

The whispers were everywhere, it was fascinating at first but now it was annoying. There was individual that was just looking in the mirror. They had the look of annoyance about this ronin guy. They checked if everything was settled for their shift.

"Alright Y/N." You said. "Let's get these shitty clients out the way today."

"Y/N! Let's go! We've got men out here for company!"

You frowned heavily at the yelling, and for some reason, you blame your family for putting you in this position.

"The next time I see my father, I'm slitting his throat."

[bimgtt]

my assumption is that,

naruto used to feel hinata and went on a date and had sex, lead family life with children & hinata

but fell out of that passionate feelings

remained just love and companionship as a father and to the partner who is mother of his children, that's their connection became like that after few years of himawari's birth

but sakura forced sasuke into one night stand willingly and had sarada in hideout but sasuke left, sasuke did give sakura place in his life and promised will return till then asked to wait by that forehead tap and next time dialogue and thanks her for her devotion but sakura crossed the boundary and didn't respect his wish by forcefully causing one night stand when he wasn't even ready for sexual relation so some tricky way of sakura like how she fit her photo over karin photo,

then forcefully chasing after him when sasuke refused bc of her pregnancy and he left on a kaguya mission, sakura gave birth in karin hideout but i am sure sasuke wasn't there when sarada was born that's why they don't have at least one photo with sasuke but sakura and sarada have tons alone and together.

Sasuke wasn't ready to be in a sexual and parental relation bc of journey at that time, sakura forced herself onto him sexually and made him a father who was unwilling or not prepared at that time that's why sasuke didn't maintain communication with sarada and sakura but with naruto only and why sakura so tensed throughout the gaiden and secretive,

but sarada's plea and wanting o be loved by father reconsider his decision to stay away from his family in gaiden and he now pretending to be a couple with sakura in front of sarada for her sake and trying best to be loving and protective father to sarada but his marriage with sakura loveless and only sarada connected them and he always on mission but he always feels different around naruto,

a warm and passionate feelings with naruto joking and laughing and he felt like dying when naruto in danger, naruto feels the same warm and passionate feeling around sasuke even after years, which he also used to feel around hinata and children but died out soon now after few years of himawari's birth, with only sasuke remains that's why he gets positive and full of life and forget about work when he hears sasuke is near or sasuke's hawk sent message,

naruto's love for boruto parental love remains strong

sasuke's love for sarada parental love has bloomed and trying hardest to improve

sasuke's love for sakura is that she is part of the family and hardworking and well wisher like kakashi and grateful to her for taking care sarada and that's all he doesn't feel deep about sakura, just he is grateful for sakura being in the family and as sarada's mother as a capable and strong mother,

naruto's love for hinata has become like sasuke's love for sakura when naruto fell out of that warm and romantic feelings to hinata after years of himawari, just like sasuke he feels now grateful for hinata being in his life as children mother but that passionate feelings don't exist anymore between them

and sasuke and sakura had no so such feelings among them just that sakura desperately forced herself on sasuke before their relation can bloom like naruhina but sakura's desperation destroyed that development and it never went to that blooming stage rather only survived because of sarada's existence that sasuke ready to accept her and grateful for her as sarada's mother and taking care him and sarada in the family currently

but naruto and sasuke still feel after years after years that warm and passionate feelings for each other that's why sasuke smiles near naruto when he doesn't near anyone except sarada or his calm face becomes terrified when naruto is in big danger( but very calm face when sakura is in danger even in gaiden)

and naruto who wanted to ditch his duties or anything if it means to meet sasuke and to be near sasuke( he doesn't even sleep with hinata in same bed only eats together with children)

i don't know how to characterized what that warm and passionate feelings of narusasu is?

whether you think it's platonic soulmate or romantic with semi physical intimacy(not sexual at all but touches more deeply and affectionately. than towards their wives) or confusing deep brotherhood or deep mutual friendship for life .

Why NejiTen should be canon

Before I say anything, I can recognise that NejiTen is not canon, although I want it to be lol. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, so I ask that you respect mine, and if you want to challenge it, you can *politely* do that in the comments.

The major countering ships to NejiTen are: NejiHina and LeeTen, so I will talk you through why these ships don't work out.

First with LeeTen (because I don't want you quitting after the drama of NejiHina). Lee and Tenten are seen as very close throughout the series, though Tenten makes it clear that she finds Lee annoying and hot-blooded. This is the opposite to Neji, who Tenten seems to admire a lot, since she liked to train with him, and even put on lipstick in the manga for his chūnin exam finals. They seem like the perfect best friend duo, in my opinion. Romance doesn't need to be involved in every since best friend duo, there are enough of them already. In the Boruto series, Lee is seen with his son, Metal Lee. Many think that Tenten is the mother, due to the eye shape, and I think she could easily be. I mean, she's the only kunoichi in Konoha in the same age group as Lee (I think, I haven't fact checked yet), and the girl in his team. Tenten is probably the easiest choice for Lee's wife that Kishimoto could've made. However, if they were to be married and have had a son together, they would now be divorced. This therefore means, that if they had got married, then the relationship would not have worked out, and LeeTen would've failed. If they had not got together, then Lee would've married a different woman, and even if Lee then divorced that mystery woman, they clearly do not have mutual feelings for each other any more. They might have had feelings for each other, at different stages of their lives, but they either both grew out of their crushes or it was only one-sided to begin with.

Second. The NejiHina incident. I'm sorry, but I will have to go on for even longer than LeeTen, because some people don't understand that this ship is incest, and I'll tell you why. Excluding the fact that Neji had strong resentment towards Hinata for quite a period of time, they still wouldn't work out. Their relationship only evolved into *family* love, as confirmed by Kishimoto, just as Boruto loves Himawari, or Temari loves Gaara. What's wrong with a "big brother-little sister love"? Why must everyone make everything romantic? Neji cares deeply for his cousin, as does Hinata. She calls him 'Big Brother Neji', showing that she only sees him as her older brother. Besides, Hinata was so deeply in love with Naruto, she would've never agreed to the marriage. Moving on, a lot of people, from a range of cultures, some of which invite cousin relationships, think that Neji and Hinata getting married and producing heirs is okay. Some of them (purposely?) forget that the reason you don't have kids with your sibling is because it increases the chance of genetic defects dramatically. Although having kids with your cousin is legal (at least where I am), it still has quite a high risk. These people try and back it up by saying that the Hyūga clan would've wanted a pure Hyūga-blooded heir. Hm... Uchiha clan, anyone? Sure, this was common, but there are plenty Uchihas that are so distantly related that it would be fine to have offspring (such as Itachi and Izumi). The same could be said about the Hyūgas. Maybe Neji would've been their best option for a pure blood husband, but there would've been other choices, more people that were much further distanced in relation. I've got this far, and I haven't even mentioned another key fact: you know that Hiashi and Hizashi are twin brothers, right? Identical twins, to be exact. Lemme show you something: "Identical (i.e., monozygotic, or MZ) twins share 100 percent of their genes". You see that? It means that Hiashi and Hizashi share the same DNA. And this means that Neji and Hinata are genetically closer than cousins. They're actually genetically half-siblings. Hm. The Hyūgas are smart enough to figure out that it probably isn't the best idea to inbreed them, right? Well. That doesn't matter, because even if they overlooked all this incestuous evidence, there's this. Hinata isn't even the current heiress. If Neji survived the war, he would not have married Hinata in Boruto. If the Hyūga clan forced him to marry the heiress, and have children to keep a pure bloodline, he would've married Hanabi. Hanabi is the current heiress, so she would be the one married to Neji. Got it yet? Neji and Hinata would never have happened.

The last reason NejiTen should be canon: their chemistry. Tenten is shown to greatly admire and respect Neji, constantly calling him a genius, and she has blushed because of him in the manga several times. He believed in her abilities enough to sit under the practice dummy she was hitting with kunai. Neji comments that her fight would be interesting, showing that he thinks she is a good fighter. He is also shocked at her defeat, further proving that. In the first databook, Kishimoto confirms that Neji and Tenten trained every day for a month in preparation for Neji's chūnin match against Naruto. During this training, Neji reverse engineered and perfected the moves only reserved for the main branch of the Hyūga clan, mainly the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and the Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven. You should also note that while all the other contestants trained with jōnin, Neji chose to train with Tenten. "During one of their training sessions, birds are shown flying in the sky and Tenten tells him that she is exhausted and can't keep going. Neji responds that he thinks he used too much of his chakra and faints. Tenten is seen running to him and asks him if he's alright." Tenten wore a different outfit to watch Neji's match, and as I said, in the manga she also wore lipstick. After his fight with Kidomaru, Neji remembers seeing Lady Tsunade with Tenten. In the Shippuden, during Team Gai's fight with Kisame, Neji rushes to Tenten's side when she seems to struggle in the Water Prison.

In the image above, it shows the two finishing each other's sentences. They can communicate with little dialogue and know what the other is thinking with only one word. Tenten winks at Neji and invites him to go to the bathhouse with her, both in the anime and the manga. Later, after Neji's death, in the manga, she expresses anger, thinks about Neji and asks why he left her. In her memory, Neji doing the "nice guy pose," which has been performed in the past by Gai, Naruto and Lee. The pose signifies that one will keep their promise until death, as Lee states to Sakura during the beginning of the Sasuke retrieval arc after Naruto does the pose and promises to her that he will get Sasuke back. Neji doing this pose before Tenten implies that he promised her something that he intended to fulfill until his death. In the anime, Tenten holds her hands in a prayer and asks why he left her as she remembers Neji doing this "nice guy pose" to her, then she walks away crying and says that she's never going to forgive him. The implied promise that Neji made to her is not known, but it was significant enough for Neji, who tends to be stoic and serious, to use the cheerful and significant pose his "hot-blooded" sensei and teammate have used in the past. When caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Tenten dreams of more mature versions of Lee and Gai as well as Neji being alive and by her side. She's the only person whose Tsukuyomi dream involves not only Neji being alive, but being with him.

They are shown constantly beside one another throughout the entire story, similar to the couples Asuma and Kurenai, and Shikamaru and Temari. While Neji is very formal and strict, he is shown to be comfortable around Tenten. He isn't shown to mind when she teases him or winks at him. He is also rarely portrayed as a character who apologizes to anyone, but he is shown apologizing to Tenten. In both the manga and anime, birds are present during the scenes where Neji and Tenten are shown alone together. In the manga, the only male character Tenten is shown alone with is Neji.

Other Trivia include:

Tenten's name and Neji's themes compliment each other. "Tenten" literally translates to "heaven heaven" in Chinese, while "Hyūga" translates to "place in heaven." In the new Chūnin Exams arc, Neji is shown holding two heaven scrolls with the characters 天天

Tenten's weapons shop in Boruto is named 忍具転転転, which directly translates to "Ninja Tools Turn Turn Turn." Furthermore, the characters "具転転" in the name translate to "revolving." Thus, the name of Tenten's weapons shop can be a reference to one of Neji's primary moves, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.

During the blank period, Tenten wears a uniform that includes a dress with a flame pattern similar to the flame in the Hyūga clan's emblem.

Neji and Tenten are depicted as compatible: the Databooks reveal that Neji is a Cancer and Tenten is a Pisces. In Western astrology, Cancer and Pisces are considered a compatible and harmonious pairing. The Databooks list Neji's blood type as O and Tenten's blood type as B. The blood type personality theory popular in Japan considers O and B blood types romantically compatible.

Neji, during his death, is portrayed as a Phoenix on fire. In the anime, Tenten utilizes the moves "Twin Rising Dragons" and "Exploding Dragon Strike." In Chinese folklore, the Phoenix and Dragon pair symbolize perfect harmony and balance between yin (Phoenix) and yang (Dragon).

Among the Konoha 11, Neji and Tenten were the only ones who were 18 years old during the Shinobi war, whereas Naruto and Hinata were 16 years old and the rest were 17.

Neji and Tenten share the same hairstyles as Hashirama Senju and his wife Mito Uzumaki.

Took a jab at redrawing screenshots from the series. Decided to start with one from Freaking Out, redrawing Arthur from my Himawari au over it. This look is actually going to be his final look, but I'm still in the beginning stages of the story so he still has his spikey hair and old clothes for now.

🎃 Live Reports & Behind the scenes Pt.2

According to the interview from some audiences after the reveal of 6th’s and 7th’s cast, they thought it’s funny that team Bad Boy felt oddly cool to them, while on the other hand, team Hero were also cool but with even more chaotic vibes than the previous one —Everyone did wonder in unison that what went through the organizer’s head when they decided to put them together. Well, Raiden and Saji were the only exceptions since both of them were naturally pretty dedicated to their team titles.

Raiden got a bit carried away as he started laughing like some maniac by the end of his show. And in consequence of that, his temporary teammates were just… letting him be before all left the scene like nothing happened.

Since the beginning of the 9th show, the ladies of team “SolaLune Fairies” were seen solemnly walking out of the backstage with a dark long veil covering most part of their face and their outfits. Each of them were also noted to hold a bouquet with different flowers. Lola were red tulips, Evelyn were blue roses, Moriko were sunflowers, and Miku were moon orchids. But once the first beat of the song dropped out, they suddenly changed their moods and threw their veils away ...showing off their party dresses which were delicately designed just for each of them (ultimate kudos were given to those from the costume team). Thus, the true catwalk showdown began! 

After all the teasing to throw their bouquets to the audience like in the wedding, it was still unknown who those ladies decide to give their bouquets to at the end. Maybe it was their lover/ bestie or etc. Who knows anyway? But as the show title hinted, they might probably give it to their fairest…

Before the 10th show starts, the camera caught Kanade having a high-five with Lola in the same fashion as those two boys from the first half. 

Despite not being much active around these days, Hana Izanami (@snowmantita) was spotted coming here in secret to cheer for her friends.

The 11th show was obviously one of the best highlights of this event, given 6 of them were actually the famed performers to begin with! In addition, Queen card was the one who planned most details of the performance herself. Besides, some of them were really going all-out to the point where they attempted to compete with each other even. No wonder this show received very loud applause as a result, just like their team’s name implied.

There was one funny moment getting leaked out from the backstage. It was the photo of two gentlemen who literally had no idea why they were put in the same line with other talented showmen in the 11th show. Saigo seemed to be deep in thought about how much the staff have spent on props and special effects, while Nishio… He was caught flirting with other participants —Well, let’s hope that he wasn’t flirting with the wrong person there.

Despite the chill and anti-climax vibe that was very contrast to the intense impression from the previous show, the final show performed by team Bakemono was unexpectedly the children’s most favorite! Why was that? The secret of success not only lied in the lyrics of the song, but also its cute and catchy choreography. Moreover, they had also brought in the massive number of candies to throw into the crowd.

And due to some interviews with the parents, they told that this show truly deserved to be the closing show as it was in fact spoke the moral of this spooky event… 

Before the show started, it was a record of five of them chatting with each other. And although it was all according to the script, Asahi confessed that they had retaken it so many rounds he actually lost count of.

And just as the name of their team indicated, they were all wearing the yokāi costumes! For example, Asahi was the Oni, Kohaku was attempting to look like Kasa-obake (even if it came out rather funny), Taria was Karasu tengu, Honoka had animal ears so maybe she was bakeneko or kitsune, and Ayaka wore triangle headband with a kimono to represent the yurēi ghost.

From what live reports said, despite being the performers of the show, both Asahi & Kohaku were noted to really enjoy their time the most —These two spiritual(?) twins loved throwing candies like they’re playing with snow, while Honoka and Ayaka might seem a bit stiff due to their not so great experiences with people. However, Taria was the one making them warm up and enjoy the moment just like other children did —Who else would understand the kids best if not someone with a children’s heart?

The women who participate in this event serve as inspirational leaders and role models to their communities and fans all over Japan.

We have a lot of fun and exciting stuff planned for today, for both our lovely ladies and you, the audience and those watching at home! But first let’s go over the activities our contestants will be competing against each other in!

Note: Each Round will begin with a starting post in which our contestants have a time limit of 1 hour to prepare themselves until it’s time for them to go on stage (aka, making a post on their own respective blogs) then a poll will be conducted and open for a certain period of time before closing. At the final round, all the votes will be grouped together and the one who has the most will be crowned this year’s “Miss Hypmic”!

Round 1 — Fashion Show (Part 1 - ‘Represent Your City!’)

Pretty self explanatory, we’re easing the girls into the first round by a standard fashion show! But there’s a twist, we’ve given the girls a theme and they have to try their best to dress according to the theme. What’s the theme, you ask? I’m glad you asked! The theme for this section is: “Represent Your City/Division” meaning the ladies will have to show their Division Pride with how they dress!

Round 2 — Talent Show

Once again, it’s self explanatory. Our lovely contestants will have the opportunity to wow the crowd and the judges with any special talent or skill they have! Whether it’s singing, acting, gymnastics, and more! There are no limits except murder to what they can do and we eagerly await their showcases! (Note: You don’t necessarily have to write down what talent your OCs have in full detail, a picture or video will work just fine!)

Round 3 — Fashion Show (Part 2 — ‘Beach Episode!’)

Next, our beautiful contestants are back on the runway but this time it’s to have some fun in the sun with the second theme of the fashion show segment, “Beach Episode!”. Get ready to watch the girls put on their cutest or sexiest swimsuit and strut their stuff!

Round 4 — Singing/Rapping Competition

We’ve heard how these girls rap both in a group and solo but can they carry a melody? Let’s put their singing skills to the test with a singing competition! Each contestant must choose one song of their choice to sing (or rap) in front of the audience and judges, solo performances only so no duets or pair ups!

Final Round — Costume Contest (‘Nightmare Mode’)

And last but not least, the final round will be a costume contest! Our ladies will come back to the runway one last time to show their dark side in the final theme of the fashion show segment which is “Nightmare Mode”! Let’s see how the girls get freaky yet fabulous in the final event to win the crown!

I believe that’s all there is to it! We hope you are excited and looking forward to the competition which will be broadcasted to the entirety of Japan! For those of you watching at home, make sure to tag your PROFILE with the tag #miss hypmic 2023! We wish you a very good day!

To kick off the event, here’s a special performance from our lovely ladies!

i refuse to let clamp off the hook for underutilising himawari's fucking fascinating character setup and traits but on a less serious level im obsessed with the concept of her as an instigator of chaos.

like she's way less airheaded than she seems and it doesn't come off like Default Airhead Girl Behaviour or even Default Girl Companion That Ships Her Friends primarily (like not as hard as some other series by comparison I mean she's very I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE by default) specifically she just seems like someone that thoroughly enjoys being a little shit in a sincere way and giggling at her dumbass friends and has a shade of high emotional intelligence about it all. like she's just girl of all time. she's i don't know where im going with this just take this low effort meme from when i watched the holic stage play on youtube this isn't a coherent thought it's like 2am ill come up with better thoughts later

Second Division Reunion

Since I posted my Second Division battle picture I figured I'd share this one too. I like the idea of these three being friends after being teammates in the war so whenever Kurotsuchi visits for kage meetings they meet up.

My Review of Spy x Family

How did I get into this anime? Out of the many, many, many sequels I had on my plate for the spring 2022 anime season, I knew I had to see this one. Fans have been pumping this anime up nearly a year in advance as being the next big thing. Too bad the fandom died once Chainsaw Man reared its head. Crunchyroll started to promote this anime months in advance too. So here I am!

Twilight is a secret agent who keeps the peace. He is the master spy of Westalis and will happily prevent any kind of turmoil between Westalis and their neighboring country Ostania. Twilight has been able to do all of his tasks flawlessly. His next mission might be his most difficult one yet. In order to investigate this one politician, he must infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy. In order for this mission to be a success, Twilight must embark on the toughest challenge of all. Twilight must start a family. Twilight (despite his handsome face) is more of a married to his work kind of fella. Even the whole thing about having a fake family seems a little too much.

So, Twilight adopts a fake persona, fake name, a woman to be his fake wife, and a kid to be his fake daughter. At this point, Twilight will be known as Loid Forger. First, he adopts a daughter from an orphanage. Anya is a six-year-old with an unbelievable power. She’s an Esper and can read peoples minds. As for the wife, he picks a ditzy City Hall worker named Yor. And yes, she has a secret as well. Yor is a secret lethal assassin. And she’s okay with posing as his wife so that people around her stop being suspicious of her being a single woman over 25. But Loid asks Yor to be his wife so that he could get Anya into Eden Academy. That school prefers the two-parent household. And of course, for Anya’s well-being!

There you have it, a spy, an assassin, and an Esper start a family and play house.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: As I said before, Crunchyroll got first dibs on this anime early on. I think they recognized the popularity of the manga and thought this would be their big cash cow of the year before the next cash cow came six months later. They were even faster than normal releasing the dub to this. It was even leaked less than a week from the Japanese premier. The popularity of this series is downright insane. Although I will stick to the Japanese version! Nothing against the English cast, but I just prefer Atsumi Tanezaki voicing Anya. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST: *Twilight/Loid is played by Takuya Eguchi (known for Cheren on Pokemon BW, Takeo on Ore Monogatari, Kakeru on Fruits Basket 2019, Shuuji on Tokyo Revengers, Ryouma on Love Stage, and Julius on Re:Zero)

*Yor is played by Saori Hayami (known for Shinobu on Demon Slayer, Shouko on A Silent Voice, Yotsugi on Monogatari, Anju on 86, Yumeko on Kakegurui, Himawari on Boruto, and Sachi on SAO)

*Anya is played by Atsumi Tanezaki (known for Uo on Fruits Basket 2019, Futaba on Bunny Girl Senpai, Juno on Beastars, Emilia on Durarara, and Mujika on The Promised Neverland 2)

ENGLISH CAST: *Twilight/Loid is played by Alex Organ (known for Makishima on Psycho Pass, Arima on Tokyo Ghoul, Decim on Death Parade, Norway on Hetalia, and Doranbalt on Fairy Tail)

*Yor is played by Natalie Van Sistine

*Anya is played by Megan Shipman (known for Mare on Overlord, Keimi on One Piece, Hanamaru on Love Live Sunshine, Momo on Fruits Basket 2019, Yuzu on Citrus, and Takitsubo on Index/Railgun)

DISLIKED CHARACTER: I think everyone can come to an agreement with this one as we rise up to cheer when this guy got socked in the face!

Nobody makes Anya cry!

SHIPPING: So, is this fake family going to work? Can a spy and an assassin put up an honest front in public without giving an inch? I mean they’re both very good at their work, but even this is a stretch.

It might be too soon to be tossing around love when it comes to Yor and Loid. Respect for each other, yes. But when you get the kiss scene brought on by Yor’s brother Yuri, yeah, these two aren’t ready for real. Yor was going to slap Loid, but thankfully it was Yuri that got the blow. Unfortunately, this does happen again and this time Loid was on the receiving-end of that knock-out slap. But if we’re going to talk about obvious crushes, why don’t we talk about Damien?

Too bad Anya thinks you’re such a shit-head.

We don’t really get much in the shipping category after the first few episodes. I mean, once you propose with a grenade pin in front of an explosion, there’s no way you can outdo that. But things took a wild direction during part two when Fiona Frost came into the picture. Apparently, she was originally going to be Loid’s fake wife for the mission if she wasn’t on a long mission of her own. So, once she returned to town, she wanted to do away with Yor and become Loid’s next wife. And that’s because she LOVES him. Not Loid Forger, but Twilight, the spy. And yes, this is a notice-me-senpai woman. Loid was Fiona’s senpai! It is literally a notice-me-senpai moment!

ENDING TO PART ONE: Loid’s mission has been going along okay. He managed to find a wife and child and have that child get accepted to that prestigious school in order to make nice with the son of the elusive politician. But Loid now has a new thorn in his side that comes in the form of a jealous brother-in-law. It would be enough for Loid to deal with Yuri’s unhealthy jealousy of his sister’s marriage. As it turns out, Yuri is part of the secret police set to detain and force confessions on those considered to be a spy in the country. Worst of all, Yuri knows the existence of a spy named Twilight and has vowed to catch him. But we’ll probably deal with more of this as the series progresses as a whole.

Meanwhile, Anya is having her own problems at school. She knows getting along with Damien will lead to world peace (eventually). Problem is she finds him to be a shit-head and the face she makes around him has launched a bajillion memes. As we all know, the first day of school ended with Anya earning this school’s version of a demerit because she socked Damian in the face. Not just that but Anya’s test scores are really bad. A lot is riding on her succeeding at this school. On the plus side, Anya did gain some attention in her class’s dodgeball game against another class with the world’s biggest 6-year-old.

Seriously, what are they feeding this kid? I’m convinced this isn’t a first grader and that he’s an undercover narc.

But Anya earned notoriety when she saved a kid from drowning. Anya’s psychic ability was able to aid her with that and she was able to help the lad without seeping out the secret about being an Esper. Because of this moment, the school gave Anya a ‘Stella’, the one honor Eden bestows upon the best and brightest. And she will receive a puppy…later! We did catch a glimpse of the future furry friend that’ll become a Forger in part two. For now, it’s time for a trip to the aquarium. Mostly, this trip is just for Loid to keep up appearances in front of the neighbors so they don’t think he’s cheating on his wife or something shady. Loid was also doing spy work during this outing. Okay, that’s it for Spy x Family’s first half.

*three months later*

PART TWO: Anya gets a doggy!

Like I said prior, Anya is getting a dog as a reward for saving another kid from drowning. And just like the rest of the members of the Forger family, this dog has a special quirk as well. He has future sight or something like that. This dog was put through some experiments and this was the end result. Also, he’s a dog that’s being used by bad guys as a ‘bomb dog’. The first couple of episodes were dedicated to Anya and Bond. It was kinda thrilling with Anya escaping danger, Yor unknowingly beats up the bad guys, and Loid just being kick-ass.

After those episodes just comes the usual stuff you would expect these characters to do. Loid is on some mission that turns into something else. Yor can’t cook. Anya gets bad grades. Mr. Scruffy-head can’t get a date. Yuri is an idiot with a sister complex and apparently the hardest working stomach in history. But things do pick up when we meet Fiona Frost (a.k.a. Nightfall). There seems to be a lot of people out here with some major secrets that could contradict and conflict with others. Adding Fiona was just asking for trouble given her feelings towards Twilight.

Oh right, Twilight is Loid. Did you guys forget that?

ENDING: Nearing the end of this season, we’ve witnessed a few moments that could be considered a special moment, but were just bait-and-switches. Adding Fiona as a character brought on a lot of drama as Yor does feel intimidated by her. We even got a scene of Loid and Yor alone together to sort things out. And by sort things out, Yor got shit-faced to a point where you need subtitles for the subtitles, she was that fucking wasted. Oh, and Loid got knocked out by Yor. Not just anyone can knock out the world’s best spy. But the world’s best assassin could.

I often find myself wondering if Loid and Yor could be anything other than a fake couple. Loid is only using Yor (and Anya as well) for the sake of his long-term mission. And Yor is kinda sticking around so that she doesn’t get in trouble with the secret police because they find single women suspicious. Yor has a lot to hide too. But we often get scenes where these two characters get close to each other. Unfortunately, those scenes are followed with Yor giving Loid a big smack down. But then we get this touching scene where Loid remembers his mother due to hearing Yor sing a lullaby. I’m conflicted with these two! Maybe more will progress in the future.

Oh yeah, Loid and Fiona dressed incognito in a tennis tournament the episode prior. There’s such irony with these two posing as a fake couple here. Whatever! I’m still on Team Yor!

The final episode, we finally meet Donovan Desmond. This is the man that Loid has been waiting to get close to and investigate for the mission. The one man that could make or break the peace between Westalis and Ostania.

This guy…he looks like a lobotomy victim. He has a face that a bad guy makes before Bugs Bunny blows them up with dynamite! I stand by what was just said. 

Eden Academy is having a gala that has an attendance of the elite; famous people, successful alumni, politicians, and others. This includes someone like Donovan Desmond. He’s a powerful politician and is Damian’s father. This is Loid’s chance to speak to his target. Loid was able to come close to the Desmonds in the guise of finding a charm that belongs to Anya and formally apologize for Anya’s behavior when she and Damian got accepted to Eden. Their meeting was short, but at least Loid was able to meet the elusive politician. He’s rarely in the public eye and even his own sons barely see him. Well, just meeting him in an informal fashion isn’t going to cut it. Loid and the spies must do what they must to keep the peace. So, there’s going to be more stories from the Forgers. Guarantee it!

One week before the finale, there was a formal announcement that not only Spy x Family was going to return in 2023 with a second season, but they were also getting a movie. Well, I am beyond excited here because I loved this series. Yes, I felt a lull and hit a wall while watching the second part. I’m just going to say the stories between getting Bond and meeting Fiona was that point for me. For others, I honestly thought that people fell out of the Spy x Family anime once Bleach and Chainsaw Man came out during the fall season. Thankfully, these animes didn’t air on the same day. One thing that I would like to see more of that I felt kind of a lack of throughout the series is seeing Yor in action. I mean besides watching her in regular settings where she does something out of the ordinary. I want to see more of Yor in assassination mode in an assassin mission. I feel like I only see Yor in action during the opening and ending themes.

But that’s my small want from the series. I gotta give the kudos to the collaboration between Wit Studio and Cloverworks. The animation was amazing. I was surprised at how much I loved this anime going into it. I fell in love with nearly all of the characters. Yes, even odd-wads like Yuri and Fiona. I’m looking for all the upcoming projects Spy x Family has and will give a full recommendation for just about anybody. I know that sound kinda broad, but this anime has a little bit of everything that could satisfy many folks. It has action, comedy, and schmaltzy drama on occasion.

If you would like to watch Spy x Family, every episode is available for streaming on both Hulu and Crunchyroll.
