5 Shocking Ways Damian’s Jealousy Blew Up In Spy X Family Chapter 113
The latest installment of Tatsuya Endo’s beloved series, Spy x Family Chapter 113, has finally dropped, and fans are buzzing about the sheer hilarity and character development packed into this 'slice-of-life' chapter. Released on the biweekly schedule, this new chapter, available to read right now in late December 2025, pivots away from the high-stakes espionage of Operation Strix to focus entirely on the chaotic, yet heartwarming, school life of Anya Forger and her classmates at Eden Academy. The central theme? An explosive surge of jealousy from the second son of the Desmond family, Damian Desmond, all thanks to the machinations of the ever-dramatic Becky Blackbell. This chapter not only delivers on the comedy but also significantly deepens the complex, evolving friendship between Anya and Damian.
The manga continues its streak of blending action, comedy, and genuine emotion, but Chapter 113 is a pure masterclass in character-driven humor. Prepare for a deep dive into how Damian's carefully constructed composure completely crumbled, the hilarious lengths Becky went to, and the surprising advice the 'Lackeys' sought from a very unexpected source.
Character Profile: Damian Desmond, The Second Son
Damian Desmond, often referred to as the 'Second Son' of the powerful and enigmatic Donovan Desmond, is a central figure in the Eden Academy arc of Spy x Family. His existence is paramount to Loid Forger’s mission, Operation Strix, as befriending him is the only way for Anya to get close to his reclusive father. Here is a quick look at the young scion:
- Full Name: Damian Desmond
- Age: 6 (Approximate)
- Affiliation: Eden Academy (Imperial Scholar Class 3)
- Family: Donovan Desmond (Father), Melinda Desmond (Mother), Demetrius Desmond (Older Brother)
- Goal: To achieve the prestigious Imperial Scholar status to earn his father's praise and attention.
- Key Relationships: Anya Forger (Rival/Crush), Becky Blackbell (Antagonist/Classmate), Emile Elman & Ewen Egeburg (Lackeys/Friends).
- Personality: Tsundere, prideful, easily flustered, secretly dorky, and desperate for familial approval.
- Current Status: Continuously struggling to maintain his cool exterior around Anya while secretly harboring strong, confusing feelings for her.
Damian's character arc is defined by his internal struggle. He is a boy of privilege who is deeply insecure, a classic 'tsundere' who masks his genuine kindness and dorky interests with an arrogant facade. Chapter 113 weaponizes this internal conflict for maximum comedic effect, pushing his jealousy to the absolute limit.
The Five Stages of Damian’s Jealousy Meltdown
Chapter 113, a truly memorable 'casual chapter,' is a masterclass in exploiting Damian Desmond's hidden crush on Anya Forger. The narrative is entirely focused on the fallout when Damian perceives Anya is drifting away from him, primarily engineered by the series' most enthusiastic shipper, Becky Blackbell. The entire episode can be broken down into five hilarious stages of his emotional collapse, proving that even a Desmond can't handle a love triangle.
1. The Trigger: Anya’s New Friends and the 'Lackeys' Betrayal
The entire debacle begins when Damian notices Anya spending an unusual amount of time with other classmates. What truly sets him off, however, is the perceived "betrayal" from his two loyal followers, Emile Elman and Ewen Egeburg. The lackeys, in a surprisingly sweet and funny subplot, are also feeling neglected and jealous that Damian is focusing all his attention (and frustration) on Anya. This shift in the school dynamic creates a perfect storm of envy that Becky is quick to exploit. The simple sight of Anya laughing with others sends Damian into a spiral of internal rage and confusion, a classic 'jealous Damian' moment that fans adore.
2. Becky Blackbell’s 'Romantic Soap Opera' Scheme
The true genius of Chapter 113 lies in Becky's role as the puppet master. A devoted fan of romantic soap operas, Becky realizes she has a golden opportunity to create her own real-life drama. She actively and deliberately begins "screwing with Damian," fueling his jealousy with subtle comments and exaggerated displays of closeness with Anya. Becky's goal isn't malice; it's pure entertainment and a desire to see her best friend, Anya, in a dramatic, romantic scenario. Her antics are so effective that they even manage to draw the attention and stern disapproval of the esteemed Housemaster, Mr. Henderson, who finds himself accidentally entangled in the children's emotional chaos.
3. The Lackeys Seek Advice from Mr. Green
In one of the chapter's most unexpected and hilarious side plots, Emile and Ewen, feeling utterly lost and overshadowed by the Anya-Damian drama, decide to seek guidance. They bypass their usual confidante and instead approach Mr. Green, a teacher at Eden Academy, for advice on how to deal with their feelings of being left out. This detail adds to the chapter's topical authority by expanding on the personalities of the supporting cast. The sight of the two elite students anxiously asking a teacher for friendship advice is a delightful example of the manga’s ability to find humor in the mundane struggles of childhood, even within the context of a prestigious institution like Eden Academy.
4. Damian's Desperate, Dorky Attempt to Reconnect
Driven to his breaking point by Becky's manipulation and his own confusing feelings, Damian attempts to win Anya back. However, because he is a 'tsundere' and a Desmond, his attempts are predictably awkward and endearing. The chapter shows him reverting to his "inwardly dorky self" in a bid to reconnect with Anya. His attempts at being cool or aloof fail spectacularly, but it’s this genuine, unguarded side of him—the side that is completely unlike the cold demeanor his father, Donovan Desmond, expects—that proves effective. This vulnerability is a key element of his character development.
5. The 'D-Word' Confession and Friendship Win
The climax of the chapter is the resolution of Damian’s emotional turmoil. Overcoming his jealousy, the chapter strongly hints at Damian finally admitting, in his own convoluted way, how much he cares about Anya. While not a full-blown romantic declaration, it’s a significant step forward in their relationship, solidifying their unique bond. Damian manages to "win Anya back over," confirming that their dynamic, while rooted in rivalry and Operation Strix, is fundamentally evolving into a genuine, if complicated, friendship. This adorable conclusion leaves fans excited for the future of the 'Damian and Anya friendship' storyline, demonstrating that even without Loid Forger or Yor Forger present, the younger cast can carry an entire, heartwarming chapter.
The Future of Anya and Damian: Operation Strix Implications
While Chapter 113 was a lighthearted, casual detour, its implications for the overarching narrative, Operation Strix, are significant. The entire mission hinges on Anya Forger maintaining a close relationship with Damian Desmond to facilitate a meeting between Twilight (Loid Forger) and Donovan Desmond. The successful navigation of this jealousy plot ensures the following:
- Strengthened Bond: The emotional turmoil and subsequent resolution have strengthened the bond between Anya and Damian. This makes the possibility of future interactions, and thus Loid’s access to the Desmond family, more likely.
- Character Growth: Damian’s willingness to overcome his pride and express his feelings (even his dorky ones) shows significant personal growth. This makes him a more reliable path for Operation Strix than a purely hostile rival.
- Becky’s Influence: Becky Blackbell’s sharp social instincts, while used for comedy here, prove she is a powerful, albeit unintentional, ally. Her ability to manipulate social dynamics could play a role in future Eden Academy events.
Chapter 113 is a testament to Tatsuya Endo’s masterful storytelling. By focusing on the smaller, character-driven moments, he not only delivers a hilarious and adorable chapter but also subtly advances the critical relationship that underpins the entire global peace mission. Fans should look forward to the next chapter, which may return to the espionage plot or continue the delightful antics of the Eden kids.
