Episode Recaps & Spoilers
(This section will be updated weekly as new episodes air.)
Episode 1: “Berlint Panic” / “The Informant and Nightfall” (Aired Oct 4)
The season kicks off with a bang! The first half sees the Forgers at a park, but relaxation is cut short when Bond foresees a disaster involving a construction worker and his excavator. What follows is a chaotic and hilarious sequence where Anya tries to subtly prevent the incident, leading to an impromptu “mecha” battle as Loid and Yor also intervene in their own unique ways.
The second half shifts focus to WISE, pairing the stoic agent Nightfall (Fiona Frost) with Loid’s informant, Franky Franklin. The two go undercover, faking a relationship to infiltrate a nightclub on a mission. Their clashing personalities provide fantastic comedic chemistry and showcase some excellent teamwork in a surprisingly dangerous situation.
What to Expect in Future Episodes
Episode 2 will likely focus on developing Anya’s relationships at school, particularly her ongoing mission to befriend Damian. Meanwhile, Loid will be tasked with a new undercover mission, and Yor will continue her hilarious struggle to balance her secret life as an assassin with her duties as a loving mother.
Episode 3 is expected to kick off the intense Red Circus Arc, with the hijacking of Anya’s school bus. This event will put the Forger family’s skills—and their bond—to the ultimate test.

Season 3 sees the return of the beloved voice cast and production team. The main cast includes:
Loid Forger: Takuya Eguchi (Japanese) / Alex Organ (English)
