A Wild Spy x Family Theory Suggests Loid’s Operation Strix Mission Is Fake
One fan of Spy x Family has put out the hypothesis that Operation Strix was all made up by WISE in order for its top agent, Twilight, to finally find happiness.
Loid of the Spy x Family has a crucial task to complete. He must pluck a family out of thin air in seven days as part of Operation Strix in order to stop a vile politician named Donovan Desmond from upsetting the delicate balance of peace between Westalis and Ostania. Despite seeming to be a menace, Desmond seldom ever makes an appearance in the image. In actuality, as the plot develops, Operation Strix seems to be less and less about maintaining the peace and more and more about Loid, Yor, and Anya becoming closer as a family.
Operation Strix, according to one Tumblr user named Robby Robinson, is really a hoax. This fan thinks Operation Strix was put up by the espionage agency WISE to get Twilight to settle down with a family because of his difficult upbringing and subsequent isolation. Here is how the hypothesis falters and why it could not be correct.
How Twilight’s Operation Strix Could Be Entirely Made Up
Operation Strix is Robby Robinson’s False argument is based on Donovan Desmond’s few appearances in the Spy x Family manga despite being portrayed as a danger. His behaviour never seems to indicate that he is the “evil guy.” The requirements of Operation Strix are absurd: why would Loid need a kid and a spouse to get close to Desmond when the target doesn’t even give a damn about his sons until they’ve shown that they’re “worthy” of his attention?
Twilight’s parents were killed in a conflict a long time before the current circumstances. He joined the army, propelled by his wrath and sadness, only to discover that he had effectively been exploited as a pawn by both sides of the conflict. For the sake of global peace, Twilight gave up his former life, including his identity, family, and friends, in order to completely embrace becoming a spy. But since his identity as “Twilight the Spy” has become so ingrained in him, he never imagined being able to have a family.
Loid has been alone for a very long time; yet, acceptance is not happiness. He has long accepted this as a result of his profession. With this in mind, WISE devised a complex scheme to give the impression that the spy was on a mission while, in fact, they were helping him adjust to the concept of leading a regular life.
There is undoubtedly evidence in the manga that might support such theory. There has been hardly any action from any of the Desmonds, even after seeing Donovan Desmond and his partner later on. Since Operation Strix started, Loid has focused more on becoming a parent than on spying. Although he is renowned for his impeccable disguises, his commitment to his job extends well beyond attempting to persuade everyone around him that the Forgers are a family. Even Loid’s WISE colleagues Franky and Fiona have seen a shift in him since the boundary between genuine and phoney has frequently blurred for him. Even yet, it seems improbable that Operation Strix is a fabrication.
Why Spy x Family’s Operation Strix Is Definitely Real
It is quite improbable that WISE will let its top agent to retire. The CIA is now training fresh recruits, although it seems that they are still rather far from Twilight’s calibre. In terms of resources, WISE is similarly understaffed; in Chapter 17, Twilight noted that Handler only has a small number of operatives at her disposal. Therefore, spending a tonne of money to replicate a scenario from Anya’s favourite television series Spy Wars for the benefit of one agent is much less conceivable — unless there was a strong reason for it. And to be honest, making sure one agent finds love isn’t a compelling enough motivation.
Given the importance of Donovan to the National Unity Party, it becomes reasonable that he would be more careful and avoid public appearances until absolutely necessary. It’s probable that he uses less overt means to start wars, such doing covert business. He becomes considerably more hazardous to deal with as a result. Melinda, Donovan’s wife, made her debut in Chapter 66. Yor was shocked by the chilly atmosphere she emanated in the close-up pictures of her face. Although her connection with Donovan is still unknown—whether she is in charge or under his control—her mere presence is enough to demonstrate the threat the Desmonds represent.
Yor discusses her possible relationship with Melinda with the shopkeeper in the same chapter. The Shopkeeper stops as she talks about Loid’s encounter with Donovan and says that Loid thought Donovan “seemed like a fine guy” and was “interested” in the National Unity Party. Although Spy x Family hasn’t yet revealed who the Shopkeeper or Garden are, the Shopkeeper’s response is unsettling enough to make one assume that Donovan is nefarious in some way, and the Garden’s boss doesn’t think highly of Loid being associated with him.
Donovan Desmond is the target of Operation Strix, but the main objective is to stop a war from starting. There is still dissatisfaction among Ostanian citizens, and radicals are wishing for war, so the tension between the West and the East is quite palpable. It is impossible to ignore Twilight’s purpose for being a spy. In the end, he aspires to a world without crying kids. Even if he longs for a family, the current state of the world makes it impossible. Loid is very attached to Anya because he sees himself in her, as RobbyRobinson described. Knowing this gives Twilight even more motivation to keep writing until he has created a world where no kid will be abandoned.
As a scheme to persuade Loid to resign, Operation Strix makes little sense. If anything, it serves as an even more incentive for him to go on with his job as Twilight. This is seen in Chapter 8.5 when Yor and Anya are enjoying themselves at the aquarium when the Forgers are there. If WISE thought that providing Loid with a family via Operation Strix would persuade him to get married, they were gravely wrong. Yor and Anya’s presence just makes him feel more personally motivated to go on being Twilight since he now has a family that he would stop at nothing to protect.
