Spy×Family Season 3 continues its highly anticipated run with the recent release of Episode 47, which premiered on Saturday, December 6, 2025. This latest installment, often referred to as “Mission 47” following the series’ naming convention, delves into separate but equally engaging storylines for Loid and Yor Forger, highlighting their unique challenges both in their professional and “normal” lives. The episode features Loid’s psychiatric expertise coming into play and a memorable, alcohol-fueled outing for Yor with her coworkers.
Unpacking “Mission 47”
Episode 47 offers a dual narrative, providing fans with a deeper look into the individual lives of the Forger parents beyond their unified “family” facade. The episode deftly balances the espionage and action elements with the endearing slice-of-life comedy the series is known for.
Loid Forger’s Psychiatric Consultation
One of the central plots of Episode 47 revolves around Loid Forger in his cover identity as a psychiatrist. Following a recommendation from Henry Henderson, Thomas Austin, a teacher from Anya’s Eden Academy, seeks Loid’s professional help. Austin, who was present during a recent busjacking incident, is experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
Loid, known for his keen observation skills as a master spy, quickly ascertains that the busjacking might not be the root cause of Austin’s distress. Instead, he uncovers deeper marital issues impacting the teacher’s well-being. This segment provides a rare glimpse into Loid’s genuine capacity as a medical professional, even as he utilizes his WISE resources (like Fiona Frost) to gather information, blurring the lines between his cover and his espionage duties. The exploration of Austin’s fears and Loid’s attempts to help him navigate his personal life adds a layer of unexpected depth to the episode.
Yor Forger’s Chaotic Coworker Outing
In parallel, Yor Forger’s storyline takes a more comedic turn. After assisting her coworkers Millie and Camilla, Yor is invited out for dinner and drinks as a thank you. Known for her notoriously low alcohol tolerance, Yor’s attempt to blend in and appear “normal” quickly spirals into chaos. As she becomes increasingly intoxicated, her assassin instincts and lack of social grace clash spectacularly with the casual office mixer.
Her coworkers, initially unaware of the true extent of Yor’s strength and peculiar personality, witness firsthand the destructive potential of a drunk Thorn Princess. This segment offers plenty of laughs as Yor misinterprets conversations, speaks her mind in surprisingly aggressive (and occasionally English) bursts, and inadvertently causes mayhem. It also subtly highlights her ongoing desire to understand and participate in normal social interactions, despite her true profession.
Spy×Family Season 3 Overview
Spy×Family Season 3 officially premiered on October 4, 2025, bringing the beloved Forger family back to screens. The new season continues the adventures of Loid, the Westalis spy Twilight; Yor, the assassin Thorn Princess; and their adopted telepath daughter Anya, along with their precognitive dog, Bond.
Season 3 Premiere and Episode Count
The first season of Spy×Family comprised 25 episodes, split into two cours. Season 2 followed with 12 episodes, continuing the numbering from where the first season left off, with “Mission 26” being its debut. This consistent numbering means that Episode 47 is indeed a later episode in Season 3, following Mission 37 (the end of Season 2). While an official episode count for Season 3 hasn’t been definitively stated, it is widely expected to be around 12 episodes, similar to Season 2.
The third season features Yukiko Imai taking over as director, with the primary cast and remaining staff reprising their roles. The opening theme, “Hi o Mamoru” by Spitz, and the ending theme, “Actor” by Lilas Ikuta, further enhance the new season’s atmosphere.
Continued Narrative and Popularity

The series, based on Tatsuya Endo’s immensely popular manga, has sold over 38 million copies by December 2024, solidifying its status as one of the best-selling manga series of all time.
