Chapter #110 of theSpy x Familymanga series is perhaps one of the most important and shocking in the franchise. After Melinda’s confusing but humorous revelation thather husband was an alien, fans wondered how Tatsuya Endo, the creator, would logically explain this. The latest entry changed this hilarious moment into a monumentally important revelation.

Melinda claimed that her husband was an alien becausehe could seemingly read minds, a skill that she had personally witnessed. This revelation not only confirmsone of the main and darkest theories about Donovanbut also completely changes every interaction the main villain has had with the cast.

Donovan Desmond stands with an ominous look. Behind him, Anya as a test subject, Mr. Glooman, and Bond as a test subject can be seen.

Melinda Finally Revealed Her Husband’s True Secret

Chapter #110 of theSpy x Familyseries continued right after Melinda explained to Loid her belief that Donovan had been replaced by an alien. Shocked and confused by her words, Agent Twilight asked the woman to explain her reasoning, as he could not wrap his head around the idea. After a long talk in which the spy reassured the woman that Donovan would not harm her, Melinda stated that she came to that conclusionafter learning that her husband could read people’s minds.

Spy x Family May Have Revealed the Big Plan of Its Main Villain With a Small but Significant Detail

Donovan Desmond, the main antagonist of the Spy x Family series, might have revealed what his true plan is thanks to a subtle detail.

Moreover, she was not the only one who deduced this, as she explained thather son Demetrius had said something similar. As expected, Loid did not believe the woman but played along with her to obtain as much information as possible about his target. Nonetheless, fans of the franchise know that Donovan is not the onlycharacter with a unique ability;several others, like Anya, have similar skills.

He Is More Dangerous Than Fans Could Have Ever Imagined

Ever since he was introduced in chapter #37 of theSpy x Familymanga, Donovan has been a passive and mysterious figure, never contributing much to the story. Fans had been waiting for many years for him to become a pivotal figure in the plot, as he is the main and last antagonist Twilight will have to face before the ending. Yet, chapter #110 proves that he has always been more involved than readers believed. If he indeed can read people’s minds, then he already knows who Loid is and what he is after.

People will never truly be sympathetic with each other.

- Donovan Desmond.

Donovan is not taking his enemies seriously, but rather playing with them, as he knows that his abilities will always grant him a massive advantage over them. The revelation of his powers also completely changes the dynamic of the Desmond family, one that fans had been studying for a long time.Scenes like the Desmond family dinner in chapter #106have been completely recontextualized, as Donovan’s silence during this chapter might be proof of him reading his family’s mind instead of speaking with them.

Donovan’s Reveal Makes Anya More Important Than Ever

The Girl’s Powers Will Be Essential to Defeat Him

Donovan’s ability to read other’s minds makes him an outstanding danger for the heroes of theSpy x Familymanga. By simply being near them, the man could learn everything about their plans and create countermeasures to ensure his success.Anya’s powers will be vital for Loid’s victory, as she is the only character alive who can counter the main villain’s abilities. Donovan would also be unlikely to distrust a girl of Anya’s age, as she realistically does not pose any threat to his plans. Fortunately for the protagonists, Anya might be more powerful than the villain.

When talking about her husband’s changes in behavior, Melinda clearly stated that they began around the birth of either Demetrius or Damian. In both cases, this means thatDonovan’s abilities were acquired before Anya was ever a test subjectofthe enigmatic Project Apple, as she is officially younger than Melinda’s second son. This might imply that her abilities are far more advanced than Donovan’s, as they were the result of many more years of study. There is no doubt that Anya will be of vital importance for the security of Operation Strix and the world at large.

It will be beyond interesting to see what Endo has in store for readers in upcoming entries of his beloved series.
