The latest chapter of Spy x Family may be brief, but it has introduced the first appearance of Anya’s mother, sparking numerous theories about what may have transpired with her. Many fans eagerly speculate that Anya’s mysterious backstory could lead to more than anyone could predict.
Although Chapter 111 only provides a fleeting glimpse of Anya’s mother, observant fans have discovered a detail that could significantly deepen the mystery surrounding Anya and her mother.
A post by u/Electronic-Video-496 on Reddit, in the Spy x Family subreddit this week, cleverly pointed out that both Anya and her mother are seen wearing hospital gowns, specifically with strings tied at the back. This detail implies that there may be much more to Anya’s past than what we currently see.
The new detail about Anya from Spy x Family raises concerns among fans
While Anya has been a central figure in the story, we still know very little about her origins and her mother’s history, making it increasingly unclear about her father’s whereabouts as well. However, with the recent detail suggesting Donovan may have a connection to Anya, the latest chapter provides fans with a brief look at Anya’s mother, potentially serving as the starting point for a storyline surrounding Anya’s mysterious past, giving fans the answers they’ve always desired.
Fans have theorized about the hospital gown that Anya’s mother wears: “It’s likely that the gown is a uniform used in experimental facilities.” This theory suggests that both Anya and her mother could be part of a research project involving Anya’s strength. The implication that the mother-daughter duo has been subjected to experiments could paint a rather dark picture of Anya’s origins.
Another post on the Spy x Family subreddit introduces a different dark theory regarding Anya’s mother. The post by u/fourangers states: “Could Anya’s mother have spoken about birds and freedom, indicating that she may have escaped but couldn’t take her daughter with her?” This speculation suggests that Anya’s mother might still be alive.
However, some comments below the post argue that Anya’s mother may have already passed away, with one user suggesting a rather chilling theory: “I think it’s possible that she died while helping her escape. I always find it hard to believe that Anya could manage to escape at such a young age, but this could explain it.”
While the fate of Anya’s mother remains unconfirmed, the theory suggests that she may have indeed aided Anya in her escape, as Anya is notably young and the circumstances of her escape remain unclear.
“Following Anya’s emotional reaction during the dialogue, I suspect that her mother has indeed passed away. My theory is that Anya has also witnessed her mother die, which is why she breaks down when asked about her mother in the beginning of the story.” This was another comment made below the post.
As this discussion highlights, the possibility of witnessing her mother die or sacrificing herself to ensure Anya’s escape could explain Anya’s immediate breakdown when asked about her mother at the beginning of the series. However, there is also a chance that Anya has no memory of her mother at all, considering that this chapter does not reveal any details about her mother’s face.
Now, all we can do is wait for the next chapter of Spy x Family to see how Tatsuya Endo will further explore Anya’s story, and whether he plans to delve into the emotional depths of her tragic past.
