Operation Strix: Now in English!
Spy X Family continues its delightful world domination, and guess what? Episode 10, "The Great Dodgeball Plan," has landed with a hilarious thud in English dub! Get ready for more Anya-isms, Loid's deadpan seriousness, and Yor's... well, Yor-ness, all delivered with fresh voice acting.
This episode centers around the Eden Academy dodgeball tournament. It sounds simple, right? Wrong! For Loid, it's another crucial step in Operation Strix. He needs Anya to win that tournament to secure a Stella Star, bringing him closer to Donovan Desmond. Talk about high stakes on the playground!
Anya's Superpowered... Dodgeball?
Let's be honest, Anya is no sports prodigy. But, she has a secret weapon: her telepathy. She can read her opponents' minds, but can she actually dodge those flying balls of doom?
The humor comes thick and fast as Anya tries to use her abilities to her advantage. Imagine reading the mind of a hyper-competitive kid about to unleash a dodgeball at your face! It's chaotic, it's stressful, and it's ridiculously funny.
"Waku waku!"
And Anya, in all her adorable glory, definitely delivers the waku waku moments. Even if she doesn't quite understand the rules, her sheer determination (and the occasional peek into someone's brain) makes her a force to be reckoned with. Sort of.
Yor's Mom-thly Advice (and Kicks)
Of course, no Spy X Family episode is complete without Yor. This time, she steps up to provide some "helpful" advice to Anya. Think assassin-level combat skills translated into dodgeball strategy. Let's just say it involves a lot of powerful kicks...though not at the dodgeballs themselves, hopefully.
Yor’s earnest desire to help, combined with her skewed perception of "normal" activities, is always a highlight. Her misunderstanding of the game adds another layer of comedic brilliance. It’s just so heartwarming to watch her try to be a good mom, even if her methods are a little…unconventional.
Loid's Elaborate Schemes (as Usual)
Poor Loid. He just wants to complete his mission! But with Anya's unpredictable actions and Yor's... unique training methods, his carefully laid plans are constantly going awry.
Watching Loid's stoic facade slowly crumble as he tries to control the chaos is comedy gold. The internal monologues about the importance of dodgeball for world peace? Pure genius.
The Dub Delivers!
The English dub cast does a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. The voice actors capture the nuances of each character's personality perfectly. Anya's cuteness is amplified, Loid's exasperation is palpable, and Yor's sweetness shines through.
If you've already seen episode 10 in Japanese, give the English dub a try. It’s a fresh way to experience this hilarious and heartwarming episode. And if you're new to Spy X Family, this is a great starting point to get hooked on the Forger family's wacky adventures!
So, grab your popcorn (or peanuts, Anya's favorite!), settle in, and get ready for some dodgeball-fueled hilarity. Operation Strix is in full swing, and the English dub makes it even more enjoyable!
