Spy x Family Chapter 130 recap
The chapter begins with describing how the TV show ‘Five Year Love Plan’ ended with the heroine Emeria choosing the noble born Diff after waking up with amnesia over her long-term lover Sam. An-D, the leader of the terrorists says that it’s a horrible ending and Sam’s love should’ve eventually restored Emeria’s memory. He says that even the script was initially written to get Sam and Emeria together, but the Minister of Broadcasting changed it at the last minute. An-D says it’s likely because his affair partner, the opera singer, told him to, because she is a fan of Stuart, the actor who plays Diff.
An-D’s words rouse a lot of people, and Loid realises that the group has sympathizers amidst the production staff. The live studio audience also start talking about how they thought the ending was weird. The actors who were brought to the station also agree. One of the terrorists tells An-D that they’re getting supportive calls from the viewers. An-D assesses the situation and tells the actors that they won’t be prerecording the finale. Instead, they will be performing it live on air so that the ministry can’t interfere with the broadcast. Everyone agrees and the whole production crew and cast started a hasty, improvised shoot.
While the shoot is ongoing, one of the terrorists tells the live audience that since the next scene needs extras, they will have to appear on screen. To keep his identity hidden, Loid speaks up and starts talking to them about backgrounds. When they find his ideas interesting,An-d asks him to help them with backstage work so he doesn’t have to face the camera. Yuri asks why he is helping the terrorists, and Loid says he doesn’t care if it means he has to be pushed around by the bad people, he will do anything to wrap this up faster and get Yor home safe. After talking, they decide to work together to keep her safe.
At the shoot, An-D asks what they will do about the Joenna scene since the actress couldn’t come. One of his lackeys says that they will use another actress even though she doesn’t look like her. Suddenly, An-D spots Yor and calls her forward. He says that since she looks a lot like Joenna, she can play the part of Bumblina. Loid tries to intervene, saying he can change her look to be more like Bumblina’s but Yor suddenly agrees with An-D. Yuri celebrates his sister’s moment in the spotlight. After her hair and make-up is done, An-D says she won’t even need a wig for the role. Yuri hypes her up saying she looks cute.
The shooting begins, and when the actor who plays her lover says his line, Yor stumbles through her reply. But it works out since Bublina is also a very nervous character. When her scene ends, Yuri goes and talks to the staff to ask if they can give her more scenes. When they point out that Bumblina is a character who can’t vocalise her feelings well, Yuri wonders if they can show her off through action. Yor then jumps around and does some stunts, which the audience seems to love. Yuri goes through the script to look at Yor’s final appearance in the series, but he is shell-shocked when he realises that the actor and actress will kiss each other in the final scene.
Spy x Family Chapter 130 review
There were not many mentionable scenes in this chapter as it was mostly about the re-shoot. It was entertaining to see Yor step into the role of an actress and end up doing assassin stunts anyway. I can’t wait to see how Yuri tries to stop the kissing scene between Yor and the actor from happening. But I also have a feeling that Loid won’t enjoy Yor kissing someone else either. I have a feeling that after all this build up, the next chapter will show us some hilarious bits.
