Spy x Family Cliffhanger: Project Apple Returns

Spy x Family has started to plant the seeds for what could be another major arc as the final moments from the newest chapter have revived the mysterious Project Apple. Spy x Family recently wrapped up a special arc that delved into the past of Henry Henderson and Martha Mariott, revealing not only their shared romance but also more about the history of the war between Westalis and Ostania. Now, it seems the series is gearing up to return to a grander narrative. The newest chapter has started to sow intriguing seeds regarding more secretive government programs that Loid Forger thought had been resolved.

When Bond Forger was first introduced to the series, it was revealed he was a dog that had been part of Project Apple. This project involved experiments on animals to give them special abilities. Though Bond’s abilities remained hidden from Loid, there are now rumblings of Project Apple still being in operation by some hidden groups. When Loid encounters a seal that appears to be more intelligent than usual, he begins to worry whether Project Apple really has ceased.

The story continues in Spy x Family Chapter 103, where Anya enjoys a break from school. The Forger family sees a news report about a seal named Belle, which has been separated from its pack and surprises people by appearing far from the ocean during its migration. Loid decides to visit the river, hoping to catch a glimpse of Belle. Anya and Bond manage to spot the seal hiding among some reeds.

Anya reads Belle’s thoughts, discovering the seal is scared of humans chasing after it. The seal even seems to thank the Forger family for not being threatening. Loid notes Belle’s intelligence and recalls previous information about Project Apple, wondering if research teams might still be operational. Although he brushes it aside for now, this incident hints at a bigger mystery unfolding.

These kinds of experiments, including Anya’s origins, remain significant mysteries in the Spy x Family universe. It looks like fans might be getting closer to understanding how these elements will eventually come together as the manga progresses.
