There's a lot of good stuff to talk about with this chapter: the three of them still thinking of the others (minus Loid -> Yuri) as regular civilians and they must protect each other, the psych-out Twilight reveal, Yuri's terrifying faces, the hilarious twist ending.
But I think my favorite is that in Yor's what-if fantasy she factors in the fact that Loid always believes whatever stupid lies she spits out to cover herself.
But she still can't execute her plan in front of him! He'll think her so savage and vulgar!
Spoilers for Spy X Family chapter 129!!!
GUYS OK
Everyone's saying that next chapter we're gonna get a Twiyor kiss on live TV because the hijackers want to do a reshoot of the ending of Five Year Love Plan...
But what if, instead, only Yor is chosen for the reshoot, and she has to play the part of a loving couple with some random guy rather than Loid???
Loid would be FUMING with jealously, and Yuri would have some sort of crazy reaction... maybe this is how there two can finally work together! They have been in sync pretty much the whole chapter after all. They would work to put a stop to the reshoot before Yor has to kiss some random guy!
And who knows! Loid being jealous could lead to some flirty, possessive Twiyor moments... but maybe that's just wishful thinking 😉
SxF 129 SPOILER ALERT.
.
Endo knows we are afraid that Loid will be arrested and discovered sooner or later.
Because he keeps trolling us about it
SxF Mission 129
(Beware spoilers)
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 I didn't expect the ending of this chapter at all.
Narrative POV, according to Endo's usual pacing -- in which an arc usually about 6 chapter-ish long-- of course 2nd chapter into the "TV hijacking / Rabid fans" arc we will at the building up phase.
It really interest me how Endo really go to such a length, to patch any plot hole possible, and direct the story towards the only possible option left 🤭🤭 Although, of course we've yet to see how this story will progress, Endo has cleverly address our "anxiety" over the possibility of (too early) reveals or (too) easy solved hijacking problem. 🤭🤭
We all know that all three of Twilight, Yor, and Yuri are super capable individuals that could solved the hijacking problem within seconds. Especially since they most definitely want to protect the other who they think as "innocent civilian". But, Endo cleverly block all that, by showing their idiocy, and excluding Anya.
Now story wise, I love to see how Endo emphasizing the different way of thinking of these three character.
Twilight and Yuri, both thinkers and strategist, will of course analyze the situation--possible motives and the pros and cons if they move right then right there. Meanwhile, Yor--an action oriented person-- already jump into calculating the most efficient way to solve the situation. But of course none of them actually do anything yet, except in their own imagination. 🤣🤣
Couple tend to think alike, right?
I love how simmilar Loid and Yor's initial imaginations are:
Each of them believe that they can move fast enough that the other will not able to notice their movement.
It makes me wonder, will it will be like that when one day both Twilight and Yor knows each other real profession? 🤔
And their imagination both ended with simmilar fears too: the other was so dissapointed at them, and asked for a divorce.
Now this detail is interesting. Because while Yor's fear is expected (especially since Yor already admitted that she loves Loid), Loid's fear is quite different.
Why does he care so much about Yor's opinion of him being a spy? 😏😏😏
(We know why. But the spy boy himself didn't 🤣)
Meanwhile, Yuri's imagination starts different:
He starts the imagination by his usual "act first think later". And he knows by heart that Yor wouldn't let any harm befall him, and would definitely run after him and thus become the target of the terrorist. In which, Yuri will most likely try to deflect by doing reckless things that leads to his death.
I love how Yuri acknowledges Chloe's advice (that was quite literally hammered into his head), and stopped in doing so. He's growing little by little and I'm so proud of him.
Anyway, I love how different the vibes of these three imaginations were drawn by Endo.
And of course I love how Endo uses this imagination sequences to justify his selfish wants of drawing Yor's imagination in 3 full pages, showing off Thorn Princess badassery and ended it with this badass pose...
Oh yes, my queen.... slaaaayyy 🛐🛐🛐
Gimme moooreeee Endoooo 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖
Next section, we get to see how the three of them try to act subtly, by using the longest gag in SxF history: the bathroom problem 🤣🤣
The boys of course directly use the term without further ado
And how I thank the mighty deity that forbid Endo in letting such joke came out directly from Yor's mouth.... 🤣🤣
(She's just agreeing with whatever bathroom idea coming out of that man's mouth) 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, through these clever plot building, Endo has established that these three cannot use their super skills to do anything to descalate the situation. 🤭🤭🤭
Which means..... these three has to go along with whatever plot the Rabid Fans (a.k.a Endo himself) has been planning.
I've seen several fan speculation that Yor has to replace the missing actress, or maybe Loid and Yor has to act as replacements and act lovey dovey in front of camera.
Any possible scenario will be interesting for sure 🤭🤭🤭
I really can't wait to see how the real problem being addressed in next chapter. 🤭🤭🤭
Spy X family chapter 129 was so funny to me and yet I went to comments and let me tell you the people are so entitled to mangaka's time.
"nothing happened and I'm considering giving up on this series" bitch I would love to see you when Naruto was ending
Now what the hell just happened????
J'aime bien comment les trois analysent la situation, Loid est plus dans la discrétion mais craint de se faire griller par Yuri. Yor comptait agir en évitant les caméras mais craint d'être séparé de Loid en faisant ça. Yuri voulait s'éloigner de sa soeur et meure pour sa soeur mais au final renonce à l'idée. Même l'idée d'aller aux toilettes ne marche pas. Par contre les autorités qui n'hésiteront pas à faire feu si il y a de l'agitation et ce malgré les otages, c'est pas bon. Et pardon ? Les mecs ont prit en otage un plateau télé pour un remake d'un feuilleton ?!
I like the way of they analyze the situation. Loid is more discreet but fear that Yuri will discover his true identity. Yor wanted to act by avoiding the cameras but fears she will get seperate from Loid by doing that. Yuri wanted to get away from her sister and die for her but give up his idea. Even the excuse to go to the bathroom doesn't work. However, the authority won't hesitate to shoot if there some hustle despite the hostages. It's not good ! And excuse me ? The reason the guys make a terrorist attack it's for a remake of a show ?! What ?!
