Becky Has a Crush on Loid in Spy x Family

As an expert on all things anime and manga, one series that has captured my attention (and the hearts of millions of fans worldwide) lately is Spy x Family. This charming spy-comedy follows the "Forger family" – intelligence operative Twilight, assassin Thorn Princess, and the telepathic daughter who brings them together.

Becky‘s Puppy Love Sets the Crush in Motion

While the central trio grapples with faux parenthood amidst dangerous missions, they also attract some admirers along the way. The first to display affection is young Becky Blackbell, Anya‘s classmate and friend. This precocious child is an avid viewer of soap operas and dramas well beyond her years. In Becky‘s eyes, Loid Forger checks all the boxes for her dashing first crush:

  • Handsome and well-dressed in a suit?
  • Mysterious charm from being Anya‘s new adoptive father?
  • Polite with a dazzling smile that causes flowers to bloom?

As evident from daydreams where Becky proudly brags about her "boyfriend" to classmates, she believes Loid epitomizes the male lead love interest (Chapter 30). While her feelings are not serious, they kickstart the recurring gag of females old and young attracted to this suave spy.

Fiona‘s Unwavering Devotion to Her "Prince"

The next admirer to enter the scene also hails from Loid‘s real career as Twilight. Fiona Frost – better known by her Nightfall codename – crosses paths with Loid during a secret intel swap. Upon seeing him without his prosthetic disguise, Fiona instantly recognizes her longtime crush. As quoted:

"No doubt about it! That tall nose, that sharpened face, those piercing eyes behind glasses…You‘re my prince!" (Chapter 30).

Unlike other women Loid manipulated with his charm, he had genuine conversations and even danced with Fiona years prior. Experiencing him display real empathy, vulnerability and ideals (despite his mission) left Fiona enamored ever since. This crush persists despite rejection, as Fiona reminisces fondly on their moments together and carries a torch for reuniting someday.

As a fellow spy herself, Fiona understands Loid‘s solitary nature yet hopes he may one day share his true burdens with her. While he maintains distance, subtle details suggest that Loid does feel a connection – he opts to spare Fiona‘s life despite orders to kill her for knowing his identity.

Undercover Wife Yor‘s Budding Affections

Rounding out Loid‘s suitors is his fake spouse, Yor Briar Forger. Unlike flustered Becky or devoted Fiona, Yor does not outwardly show romantic interest initially. She commits fully to their sham marriage and her "Thorn Princess" assassin missions. However, as the Forgers bond through their parental roles, traces of authentic affection emerge on Yor‘s side:

  • Jealousy – When Fiona clings to Loid‘s arm begging to replace Yor, she furiously drags him away insisting "he belongs to me!"
  • Longing – Yor lovingly gazes at their family photo when separated on solo missions.
  • Gift-giving – She handmakes Loid an origami penguin, symbolizing the story of a devoted mate.

Sure, these could merely be Yor‘s commitment to their assignment. But from lingering closeness during intimate dances to frequent blushing, I would speculate there are hints of genuine care taking root! As Anya notes, even Yor‘s subconscious mind may view Loid as "my man" (Chapter 31).

So in summary, while Becky‘s schoolgirl crush catalyzes the trend, agent Fiona and faux wife Yor show deeper ties could be forming with Loid. But the aloof spy remains focused on fatherhood and his mission – though perhaps not immune to cupid‘s arrow forever!

As both an anime fan myself and pop culture commentator, I will be keeping an eagle eye on these budding romances as Spy x Family continues!
