Spy x Family chapter 117 delivers one of the most intense clashes in the current bow, putting Yor Forger face to face with Hemlock, the teammate who betrayed her at the most vulnerable moment of the mission. After the surprise attack on the previous episode, the new part of the story focuses entirely on the duel between Garden's two killers, exploring not only physical combat, but also the ideological conflict between them.
Yor Fight for Love, Hemlock, For Solitude
Since the beginning of the chapter, Hemlock makes it clear that it considers affective ties a weakness. He states that only the "strong love loneliness" and despises the affection that Yor demonstrates for his family. His speech is accompanied by an arrogant and violent attitude that resembles the worst side of Garden, the one who sees the killers only as disposable tools.
Yor, on the other hand, does not try to argue. She lets her actions speak for herself. Even wounded, with torn clothes and blood running from the arms, she remains firm, using all her skills to resist. The difference between them is not just in combat techniques, but the reasons that move them.
The battle: instinct, technique and sacrifice
The fight is intense and long. Yor is cornered several times, but shows creativity and resistance, using not only the blade but also the cable of the sword to react. At one point, she breaks her own gun to counterattack, surprising Hemlock and reversing the situation.
This act symbolizes how willing to go far to protect those who love. She is not fighting for Garden's glory or approval, she is struggling to make sure no one touches her family again.
Hemlock is defeated and confronted with his own hypocrisy
In the final moment, Yor manages to disarm Hemlock and knocks him a direct blow. Without shouts of victory or provocations, she just says, "I won. I don't move with my family anymore."
The phrase is short but powerful. Hemlock, lying on the floor, cannot react. Defeat is not only physical, it is ideological. Someone who took strength out of his ties defeats precisely the one who said he was invincible that he didn't depend on anyone.
The chapter ends with a scene that mixes humor and criticism: Hemlock's colleagues ignore him as he tries to isolate himself and reaffirm that he doesn't need anyone, treating him naturally as part of the group. This reveals that, deep down, he always sought acceptance, even denying it all the time.
Connection to the previous chapter of Spy x Family
This outcome is a direct sequence of the tension built in chapter 116, where Garden's mission to protect the Miteran Alce is compromised by Hemlock's betrayal. Now, with Yor surviving the attack and proving its strength, the balance within the organization can begin to change. Thus, the director's presence observing everything at a distance indicates that there will be internal political consequences on Garden and Yor can become a key piece in the next chapters.
