Spy x Family Chapter 113 recap

Damian is struggling with his newfound feelings, which are buzzing around him like annoying insects. It doesn’t help that Becky paints a vivid picture of how Anya will leave him behind to marry Prince Tertius and become the princess of another country. At night, he has a nightmare about his annoying feelings of jealousy taking a massive form with its eyes and mouth forming the word ‘Buzz’. Damian uses his excellent swordsmanship to fight the monster, but it ultimately overpowers him. He wakes up in cold sweats and evades the questions when Ewen and Emile ask what’s wrong. After their insistence, Damian tells them that a friend of his is having trouble with jealousy and looking for advice.
Unfortunately, this causes an even bigger problem as Ewen and Emile believe that Damian has a secret friend who’s even more important to him than them. The two spend the whole night wide awake thinking about how Damian could be so upset with another friend. Despite that, they want to help their ‘boss man’. After failing to come up with a solution on their own, they decide to ask Mr. Green for advice. The former Navy officer says that the quickest way is to remove yourself from the source of your jealousy, but of course, that’s not possible for Ewen and Emile. Only a powerful person can cause a paradigm shift in their own thinking and not care about what others think.

He then tells them to imagine what’s bugging them as a literal monster called ‘Buzz’. When they imagine their feelings as a different entity altogether, it’s easier for people to understand them and manage it better. Both Ewen and Emile follow that advice and befriend the jealousy in their hearts. When they say this to Damian, he understands the logic and thanks them. They also say that a person with paradise fist (mispronunciation of paradigm shift) can make it happen. Damian also assures them that they’re his best friends and no one will ever take their places, soothing their jealousy.
At night, Damian befriends his own monster. In his dream, we see an intricate glove on his left arm, which is the ‘Paradise Fist’. He extends the hand toward the monster in an attempt to understand his own jealousy better. The next morning, Damian wears a boxy contraption on his arm, which is the physical manifestation of the Paradise Fist which he made. Becky is surprised to see him not be jealous anymore. Anya, who is approached by both Tertius and Freddy, ignores them. But she is interested in the weird glove Damian is wearing and absolutely loves it. In the end, Mr. Green tells Henry Henderson about what happened, making the older man jealous over why his students didn’t come to him for advice when he was their House Master.
Spy x Family Chapter 113 review

To call this chapter amazing will be an understatement. I absolutely loved the physical manifestations of jealousy, and how such a serious topic was handled in a careful and easy way. Damian’s character development in this chapter was also incredible, and I’m so glad to see him coming to terms with his feelings for Anya. I hope to see the two talk about Anya’s powers as he’s the only one she has talked to about it. Overall, it was sweet to see such a heartfelt update which contained everything from friendship to fantasy. Henderson’s jealous face in the end was just the cherry on top.
