Yor Forger gets his first friend at the age of 27, and it is Melinda Desmond, the wife of Loid's target

Episode 5 of the third season of Spy x Family (which is based on the events that occurred in chapters 65-66 of the manga) surprised us by showing us a moment that is as comical as it is crucial to the plot. Yor Forger during an outing he ends up meeting Melinda Desmond. After saving her from a fall, thanks to her great reflexes and excellent physical condition, yor is invited to join a volleyball game.

And although it seems that we are facing another situation in the plot of Spy x Familyit is important to note that this event marks a before and after, since it is the moment where Yor Forger He gets his first friend.

Let's remember that due to her double life as an assassin, finding a friend to yor It had been an impossible task, despite being a rather charming person. Although when it comes to his work we are dealing with a quite lethal character. We look at why this specific friendship is both the most important character development for Yor and the most dangerous turn for Operation Strix.

1. The Milestone: The desperate search for normality

The importance of this event is not that Yor Forger I didn't know a person I could call a friend, but I validated her role as a “normal mother”. The meeting occurs precisely because yor is having a crisis of confidence, feeling like an impostor for not knowing what candy to buy for Anya.

Our character analysis concludes that the “job” of assassinating I Forger in Spy x Family It deprived her of any normal social development in her youth. Therefore, when Melinda and her group instantly accepts her and praises her for her “strength” (in volleyball), yor He experiences, for the first time at the age of 27, the social acceptance and belonging to a group. His joy is too genuine because it fulfills his deepest desire to fit into society and form a genuine relationship with more people.

2. Narrative Irony: The Unintentional “Plan C”

The genius of Tatsuya Endou shines when introducing us for the first time «Plan C». loid (twilight) is stuck in his progress with his mission as a spy, his «Plan B» which consists of getting closer to your goal thanks to a future friendship Anya with Damien advances at a snail's pace. And just when it seems like he lost faith in him «Plan B«ironically, gives him a «Plan C» through the least person qualified for espionage and in the least unexpected way. It seems that Yor Forger Without realizing it, she has just relieved her husband and given him a new route to continue his mission.

The world's most important spy mission now depends on the socially awkward first friendship of a murderer who had never had a friendship before. Although the most notable thing is that loid You cannot control this variable and it is a pure human factor, which makes it doubly dangerous and exciting. The clumsiness of yor in Spy x Family turned out to be more effective than a master spy's strategy, causing concern in Anya for his future if he «Plan B« not working.

The Hidden Danger: A Friend or a Threat?

This friendship is a massive risk. yorin her social inexperience and her desire to keep her first friend, is extremely vulnerable. But the biggest danger is Melinda Desmond.

Our expert analysis of the character of Melinda (based on the manga) warns that she is not just any housewife. Your reaction to the name Anya is enigmatic and cold, and her position as wife of Donovan Desmond places it at the center of power. It is very likely that yorin his innocence, has entered directly in the surveillance network of the target family.

The Verdict

It is surprising how the first friend of Yor Forger It was at 27 years of age and it was just the wife of the target he has loida coincidence that expands the narrative of the work and allows the innocent side of the female character to be further explored.

My verdict as an analyst is that this turn raises the stakes of Spy x Family to a new level. It's no longer just about whether loid will be successful; It's about what will happen when the need to yor for a human connection clash with the reality of the Operation Strix. World peace now literally depends on the first friend of yor.
