Spy x Familyhas its fair share of action and comedy, but the deeper missions of its core protagonist group often experience heartwarming moments of clarity and wisdom in the series. Loid Forger soon learns that the family he forms for the mission also takes up a place in his heart, with an especially crucial companion in his wife,Yor Forger. Yor is a vital part of Loid’s mission, and while they have plenty of secrets from one another when Yor isn’t comically drunk, she can offer impressively wise advice to a brooding Loid inSpy x Family.
Loid grew up in an incredibly turbulent period in his home country of Westalis, and living undercover in Berlint, Ostania, would weigh on even the smoothest WISE operator inSpy x Family. Yet, he keeps his cool despite stressful developments he can’t divulge, including setbacks in Anya’s education and numerous near-misses against Ostanian counterintelligence. But thanks to Yor,Loid Forger remembers the importance of embracing peace in a time without conflict, a major theme inSpy x Family, and Loid’s ultimate goal in the series.
