【SPY×FAMILY】Lloyd is a disqualified spy! Verification summary

For Lloyd, who has lived as a spy for a long time, his children and his wife are unknown to him.
Because he doesn’t know what they are thinking, he can’t keep up with them rationally and struggles to deal with them.

However, as for why he struggles with his children, it’s not just because he has no experience of being a parent …….

Lloyd was a war orphan, and as a child, no one gave him a helping hand and he could only cry.
He felt that he was too helpless at the time, and he felt that he was not good at the sight of a child crying because it reminded him of such a past.

But he is not a child-hater.
Rather, he wants to make sure that he doesn’t have children like he did in the past.

Twilight became a spy in order to create a world where children don’t cry.
She believes that continuing to carry out her mission as a spy will help her achieve that tremendous dream.

As a person with that kind of blue-skinnedness, he can’t be ruthless in some ways.

Shortly after taking in Anya, when she is taken away by enemy forces, he does something uncharacteristic of a spy: he rides in alone to retrieve Anya.
In addition, when she and Anya attended an entrance interview for the Eden School entrance exam, she couldn’t control her rage at the interviewer’s thoughtless questions that made Anya cry, understanding that she had to endure it for the sake of her mission, and she exploded with emotion and tried to quit the exam herself. ……

Putting personal feelings before the mission is a disqualifying act for a spy.
In that sense, there’s no room to argue that the current Dusk is corrupt as a spy.

Nevertheless, in order to carry out Operation Owl, he has to play the role of a normal family with Anya and Yol, and a normal father would have a natural right to get seriously angry if his children are disrespected.
Ironically, Lloyd’s actions, which can be said to be a disqualifying act for a spy, can be said to be a perfect answer for an ordinary father who is the keystone of Operation [Owl].
In other words, the more perfectly he tries to carry out this mission, and the more smoothly he proceeds, the more Dusk loses himself as a spy.

As mentioned above, Dusk appears to be cold-hearted, but in reality, he is incapable of being ruthless and easily influenced by his emotions.
Still, he was able to become the best spy in the west because he had no one to make his emotions surge.
With a child named Anya and a wife named Yol, his stronghold is crumbling.

Eventually, as Operation Owl reaches its climax, Lloyd will have to make a big decision.
In order to accomplish his mission, he must remain a spy, and in order to do so, he must get rid of the two members of his family.
If you don’t want to be separated from them, you’ll have to brand yourself a disqualified spy.

The letter “x” is used to signify not only a crossover or collaboration, but also a competition.
Thus, the title “SPY x FAMILY” could mean “both spy and family”, “spy and family story”, and “spy vs. family” …… i.e. the choice between relative spies and family.

What choice will he ultimately make?
That is also one of the themes of the story “SPY x FAMILY”.

Summary

SPY x FAMILY has been trending since its first episode, and a big part of its popularity has been Dusk’s humanity.
If he was just a ruthless spy, he wouldn’t have lit up so instantly.
Many readers would have been thrilled with him because he was the main character, because he was a spy, but he had a sense of justice, heat and humanity that was typical of a shonen manga character.

As a father, he’s new to the world, so the way he treats Anya is awkward, but it’s still funny and heartwarming to see him slowly become more like a father.
He and Yeol are a perfect match for each other, and I hope they eventually become a real couple!
