In recent times, anime fans have taken a liking to spy stories thanks to Spy x Family, written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. The narrative offers a great deal of action mixed with an emotional element of a makeshift family that serves as the main character of the series. However, it looks like the story is slowly leaning toward the supernatural and extraterrestrial genre.
Spy x Family follows the story of the Forger family, which is filled with a mysterious bunch of characters. Loid Forger is a spy who is trying to maintain the peace between two rival nations, Westalis and Ostania, while Yor Foger, his “wife,” is a trained assassin. They have an adopted child named Anya Forger who has mind-reading abilities and a dog named Bond who can see the future.
Although there were some intriguing supernatural aspects from the start, they were all linked with scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs. But the recent Chapter 109 of the Spy x Family manga has shaken the entire fandom by introducing the concept of aliens and UFOs within the narrative.
Spy X Family’s Chapter 109 brings the biggest twist
Since the beginning of Spy x Family, Loid’s mission has been to gain information on Donovan Desmond, the chairman of the National Unity Party of Ostania. This mission is called Operation Strix and it is the main reason why Loid formed the makeshift family. The recent development in the mission brought him closer to Donovan’s wife, Melinda Desmond.
Loid used his fake profession as a psychiatrist and somehow managed to get Melinda as a patient with unintentional help from Yor. During their first session, Loid gets into a conversation with Melinda trying to gain her trust and extract some information about her husband Desmond. However, their conversation takes a weird turn when Melinda mentions UFOs.
Melinda asks Loid whether he believes in UFOs and extraterrestrial life forms, which completely confuses Loid. As he tries to understand the situation, Melinda makes the revelation that her husband is actually an alien. This disclosure startles Loid to the point that he asks Melinda to repeat it again. This is probably the biggest twist in the Spy x Family narrative.
Spy x Family fans are shocked by the twist
Since the beginning, Spy x Family has majorly focused on genres like action, comedy, slice-of-life, and drama. This was one of the main reasons why Spy x Family became such a popular manga in such a short amount of time. However, this twist about Donovan being an alien has completely changed the story and has introduced some unexpected elements.
Thus, when Chapter 109 of Spy x Family hit the internet, fans of the series couldn’t control their emotions and decided to express their opinion on X about the twist.
While some fans expressed their shock, others pointed out how the series is going in the Dandadan lane with the introduction of aliens and UFOs.
*sigh* Here we go again… Gotta call the Dandadan crew at this point lol
