In my mind, I'm King

for all the comedy, Spy x Family is actually a really good deconstruction and commentary about how War is nothing but useless violence and how propaganda is so dangerous to the dehumanization of “the other”. and there are SO MANY good moments that stick out (the Handlers speech to the terrorist students, Franky talking about psychology in the war , Twilight own thoughts after the war etc…)

but personally this is one of my favorites in both its simplicity and symbolism. Here you have a Man from Westalia, and a Woman from Ostania, both orphaned during the war, and have committed incredible acts of violence to survive in that world and provide for the people in their lives they want to protect, turned into weapons by their governments to commit further acts of violence in the name of peace, all while both were raised on propaganda to believe the other country is full of nothing but horrible monsters.

and yet, and yet

beyond the war and violence and bigotry and arbitrary state lines and nationalism, they were both sung the same children lullaby by their mothers as children.
