A viral infographic claiming that the popular manga “SPY x FAMILY” would enter a “Divorce Arc” has been confirmed to be false. The misleading information, which spread rapidly across social media, featured an illustration showing protagonists Loid and Yor Forger seemingly prepared for a deadly confrontation, supposedly triggered by the revelation of Yor’s secret profession as an assassin.
Origin of the Illustration
The image in question is authentic but taken out of context. It appears in Chapter 79 of the manga and represents Yor Forger’s imagination during a conversation with her work colleagues, not an actual plot development.
Misinformation Spread
The rumor gained significant traction on social media platforms, particularly among fans who had speculated about a potential confrontation between the main characters. Many believers interpreted it as a sign that the series was approaching its conclusion.
Fact-Check
The rumor is demonstrably false
Β confirms the source material. As SPY x FAMILY is published exclusively through the Shonen Jump Plus digital service, advance plot leaks are virtually impossible, unlike traditionally printed manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump or Weekly Shonen Magazine.
Context of the Scene
The actual context of the illustration reveals it to be a moment from Yor’s imagination during a scene where she worries about appearing too satisfied in her marriage, fearing it might raise suspicions about its authenticity among her colleagues.
The incident highlights the rapid spread of misinformation in social media environments, where verification often takes a backseat to viral content. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and seeking official sources for manga and anime news.
