The crew is back to catch up on all that they missed, and boy did they miss a lot! The epic showdown between Wheeler and Fiona is here, and Endo is unrecognizable in his brutality this week. Crow, Blue, Roski, Syd, and Pines break down all the action and psychology in what is most likely the climax of the SSS Mole arc!

[wisehq]

I've seen some people theorize that Twilight will be to Yuri here what Franky was to Loid during the war; someone that'll change his perspective on the SSS & the conflict between Ostania & Westalis in general. Not sure how true that'll be, but I really want it to happen!

Also, we haven't seen Shopkeeper for a while (not counting Yor's fantasy). What if upon finding out Loid is a spy, Shopkeeper is actually chill with it? He doesn't seem to like Donovan & he probably would support Wise's efforts to keep the peace.

Interesting thought that Shopkeeper would be okay with Loid being a spy, that's a first for us. It's a bit questionable considering Garden is a fiercely loyal Ostanian institution, and helping WISE would be straight up treason, though it might be possible Shopkeeper sees Donovan as a greater threat to the country than WISE. Again, that seems unlikely, but then again Endo has surprised us before so we'll have to wait and see.

[wisehq]

I know this is unlikely, but I can't stop thinking about it! I've been thinking about how some people mentioned that Ostania & Westalis have both done terrible things & neither are entirely in the right. What I thought of is what if Project Apple was somehow a joint project between the two? Like Ostania brought over Westalian scientists who defected or something?

If Anya's backstory really is the endgame of the series, I can't help but think that both countries probably had a hand in what happened to her. How exactly that would work if they're at each other's throats though is anyone's guess.

It seems unlikely that Westalis and Ostania would help each other in any way, especially considering Project Apple likely took place during the war. Actually, it mirrors a lot of what was going on during the real life cold war, when both sides were trying to create psychic spies they could use against the other. The Men Who Stare at Goats is good book on the subject (there's also a movie with George Clooney, though that one is fiction whereas the book is non-fiction).

[wisehq]

Endo gave us more of what we wanted in this week's explosive chapter! Crow, Blue, Roski, and Pines return to gush over all the juicy drama, including the terrifying SSS director, Winston's strange absence, and last-but-not-least the fated Yuri vs. Twilight encounter! Also via Crow- If the recording seems a little choppier than usual it's because what is sleep

[wisehq]

Via @lacrow :

Due to a miscommunication several weeks ago between myself and @coolbluerays , our inbox has slowly been filling with crack spy family theories. To clarify, we were looking for plot-related theories at the time of us posting that, but instead we've been getting thoughts on what bottle of blonde Twilight uses to dye his hair and whether or not Henderson is a diabolical evil genius.

Naturally, I find this fucking hilarious.

So please, if you've got any more crack theories, send them our way! Depending on how busy this next episode is, we'll do a roundup of those that we can get to. The funnier the better!

[wisehq]

Mother's day has come and gone. Meanwhile, the crew are late to the party- and what better way to belatedly celebrate than to talk about mama and papa Forger fighting for no reason? Join Crow, Blue, Pines, and Roski as they theorize about the coming arc, along with discussing Endo's artistic style and all the new Spy x Family merch!

Crow, Blue, and Roski are back to discuss the latest chapter of SxF, along with giving their thoughts on the previous one (spoiler alert: they didn't like it). Stick around for the second half of the episode as the crew go over all the latest spy family news, including new details on the upcoming movie and season two of the anime, as well as the musical play and soon-to-be translated fan book!

[wisehq]

So far the last 2 chapters had Anya & Loid commenting on how strange "real" families are. I kinda wonder if the next chapter will be Yor-centric & follow the same pattern? Another outing with Melinda maybe?

If that's the route than Endo is taking with it then we can assume either a) he's going to delve further into the comparisons between the Forgers and the Desmonds or b) we're going to get the family reevaluating themselves in terms of their family dynamics.

Hard to say either way. There's been a lot of speculation in regards to the previous 2 chapters. Some people do indeed believe there's evidence to support those theories, though we're a bit skeptical until we see what the next chapter is like (whether it's all just filler until the next arc or not)

[wisehq]

I'm curious to know if you guys are gonna talk about Mission 77 on the podcast, or are you guys gonna skip it entirely?

We really don't have much to say about this chapter, so we'll be taking a break until the next update.

[wisehq]

Crow, Blue, and Roski have a lot of (loud) things to say this chapter- and for good reason! Join them as they discuss the ending of the hijacking arc, the controversy surrounding Loid, Melinda's tempestuous relationship with Damian, and the current state of the manga in general!
