#sxf cruise arc

[yuzukahachimir]

All these "just for the mission"wildcards Loid used and still use are no longer credible the moment he was missing Yor presence in the cruise arc and don't let me talk about that smile towards Anya.

The love he feels for them but he doesn't see it...

[cresneta]

Season 2 | Yor totally thought that Loid skipping with Anya was cute, and I shall not be convinced otherwise. This is one of the few headcannons of mine that I'm personally not willing to budge on.

I also believe she thought he was cute when she watched him watching the penguins at the aquarium. Just look at her little blush and laugh! They were on completely different pages when that happened, but still!

While I'm sure she likes other sides of him as well, I do think she likes this slightly dorky side of him that Anya often brings out of him. I think if she saw that scene from the cruise arc where he tried on that infamous outfit at the gift shop, that she also would have thought he was cute in that scene (he might have died of embarrassment though).

Waiting for the inevitable over-rationalization of feelings

SEASON 2 AND AN ORIGINAL MOVIE FOR SPY X FAMILY IN 2023??? YO???

[twiyorbase]

The cruise arc has begun and Yor has looked beautiful in every scene!

The people who worked on this chapter said: "Yes, she must look beautiful" 🌹

[tare-anime]

Wohooooo

I love how anime team make Yor's final fight with such intensity just like any of Shonen heroes final battle!!

Super awesome!

And finally they play the song in the Cruise Arc trailer.

Also, I love this anime original addition.

How Loid is so ready to catch a falling Anya from the upper bunk bed.

Yor treating her own wounds, and apparently she hides in the 3rd class room too.

And last but not least....

I love how they add the Forger getting ready for the adventure at the resort!

I thank anime team for this particular beautiful Yor shot 🥰🥰🥰

Gosh!!! She's so pretty!!

Kudos for Muse Indonesia's admin for choosing this particular shot as the tumbnail. You really have wonderful taste, brother 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

Anyway, next week we will finaly have chp 56.

I'm bummed that they didn't expand the chapter to whole eps, but eeh... I hope they did Endo's art of scenery justice.

And of course, please give us the best TwiYor crumbs shots, anime team!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Spy x Family || Season2 Episode 7

[professoruber]

Who is Leonardo Hapoon? (Spy X Family Analysis and Theory)

During the Cruise Ship Arc of Spy X Family, Yor is tasked with protecting the last surviving members of the Gretcher crime family from the new boss of the Ostanian underworld; Leonardo Hapoon.

While it is not explicitly stated, it does ppear that the man in the white suit shown in this image is Hapoon, as Shopkeeper is talking about Hapoon’s actions and the white-suited man does not appear as one of the hitmen mentioned.

What makes Hapoon stand out is that he appears identical to a previously shown important character... one of the scientists who experimented on Anya.

Both Hapoon and this scientist are shown with dark hair with a single bent strain of it covering their foreheads. Along with round glasses and similar facial structures. It seems very likely these are suppose to be the same person. Given Anya’s young age, this scientist is confirmed to have be active only a few years ago so its very plausible for him to sitll be active and involved with the underworld.

This same scientist was also later shown to have been involved with the experimentation of Bond. 

According to Handler, there are rumours that the subjects of ‘Project Apple’ were sold off on the black market after the new Ostanian government shut it down. This would fit in with Hapoon, who appears to have been a lead scientist on this project, being heavily involved in organised crime to such an extent that he is able to seize control of the largest criminal organisation in Ostania. 

Perhaps when the ‘new administration’ axed his work, he turned to the black market to continue it. Or perhaps he was already involved with the underworld. It is difficult to make any assumption since we no little of his motivations. 

The scientist who is likely Hapoon states Anya needs to learn to use her powers for ‘world peace’, 

By contrast, it is mentioned a few times that Hapoon is apparently seeking a war between the east and the west. This would go against the scientist’s stated desire for ‘world peace’. Of course, it's quite possible Hapoon was lying to Anya or his underlings. While he may be believed to want war, the only attempt by those hired by him to start one was done without his instructions. 

While this scienists/crime lord appearing multiple times is certainly mysterious, what makes him even more so is this:

This is Corporal, a friend of Twilight from his childhood in eastern Westalis. 

Notice his dark hair, the cresent strain of which is covering his forehead, and his round glasses. Or what about those large round ears also shared with the scientist?

If this kid is unrelated to Hapoon then this is a major concidence considering he shares such distinctive features with the man. Hapoon also does not look much older than Twilight himself, and it is completly plausible for them to be about the same age.

It is shown later on that ‘Corporal’, along with Twilights other friends, ended up enlisting in the Westalis army during the Westalis-Ostania war. At this stage his face does not entirely resemable that of Hapoon, but is is worth noting he is only a private. It was established earlier when Twilight lied about his age that you need to be at least 18 to enlist, meaning he is still a teenager and likely not fully developed.

His friends, including ‘Corporal’, end up dying due to the operation they were assigned to being reckless and poorly planned. Only their dog tags returned though, with bodies not being mentioned. We know desertion existed during this war, Frankie himself deserted from the Ostanian army.

If Hapoon witnessed the horrors of war firsthand could that motivated him to take morally dubious actions in the name of world peace? If his friends died due to poor planning could that have motivated him to experiment on mind-reading children and future-seeing dogs so that a lack of information is never a threat again? If incompetent Westalis military officers are responsible for his hardship could he have turned against Westalis in revenge?

We can’t be certain, but I do feel at the very least that the character design similarities between the scientist, Leonardo Hapoon and Twilight’s childhood friend are all too similar to be coincidences. 

And what will Twilight do when he meets up with his assumed dead friend who now rules the Ostania underworld?

EDIT:

So I’ve been told that Hapoon’s design was changed in the release of Volume 7 (thank you @hhellenn), which admittedly does weaken this theory by making them not as similar and adding some more credence to the possibility that the initial similarities were a coincidence…

But even still, I do think it appears likely Hapoon and the scientist are the same person. As per this image, the change she’s mostly in the form of his hair now being brushed to the side instead of dangling over his forehead. He still has the round glasses and oval ears, as well as the same hair colour and similar general facial shape.

Plus there is also the connection with Corporal as well having an uncanny resemblance to the scientist, indicating there is meant to be some kind of connection between all tjis.

However it’s difficult to say for complete certain until we get a better look at Hapoon (instead of just a brief shot in the background).

[such-a-downer]

The distress is so evident

[concernedbrownbread]

Thinking about how people who come out of trauma might hold it together while in a bad situation, but fall apart in a better situation because they realise it's finally safe to. Thinking about Twilight having nightmares. Thinking about screaming maybe.

sxf 86

between the cruise arc and the mole hunt arc, chapter 86 with loid’s thoughts sorta paralleling yor’s in chapter 56 is crazy 🫡

i guess that’s what happens when you live together and are also in love but can’t see it yet

[yuzukahachimir]

There is no time this moment of Yor don't get me emotional.

One step away from death,Yor realize why she fought in the past and realize why she stills fights in the present.

She sacrificed herself for Yuri to have a good life and now for Loid,Anya and Bond.

God bless this kind of moments

[bluembelle]

i adore the chaotic nature of anya and loid's father-daughter relationship!

one of my favorite anya reactions is this umimpressed/flabbergasted reaction hahahah so i wanted to redraw it in my style! tried a little experimenting in how i usually color.

decided to sort of collage loid in his fabulous cruise fit, confidently ready to buy everything for HIS DAUGHTER to make an effort for her for THE MISSION! and his hilarious reaction to her dragging him

[twiyorbase]

I saw people a little worried that the next chapter I adapted from 51 to 53 + an extra because of the pacing. If you allow me, I'm going to remind you of something.

Chapter 52 is basically unbridled action scenes that do not have major dialogues to deal with, so they could simply be adapted into approximately 10 minutes of the episode.

This, added to the fact that bringing together all the combat and Yor's epiphany in the same episode, seems quite logical to separate the climax from the previous chapters. Although well, this is just my opinion and something that I would like to share even if it is very far from what is customary on this account 🥲

Sorry if it's very subjective, I'll go back to the usual content.

[tare-anime]

Thank you so much Anime team (and Muse Asia) for making this panel justice!!!

OMG!!!!!

I was so anxious last week when the preview showed us that they'll animate 3 chapters plus 1 short mission??

But.... they prove me wrong!

The picture quality is awesome. the fight choreography is awesome. the song and music are awesome!!!

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Best episode EVER!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!

The real spy x family ogs remember the cruise arc being criticized when it was first rolling out chapters bc it was "too long" and now it's being regarded as the best sxf arc. The amount of arguments I got into with people bc I tried explaining to them that the arc needed the long length was excruciating.
