Spy x Family suffers criticism due to original content

Episode 10, “The Great Dodgeball Plan,” tells the story of a “dodgeball tournament” held during Anya’s school year. The companions, led by Anya, who learned Yor's secret strategy, are excited to enter the competition. However, Bill Watkins, who has a body that doesn't look much like an elementary school child, stands in her way as an enemy and she is forced to fight a tough battle.

In addition to the 'Dragon Ball' stuff, there are also descriptions that are reminiscent of 'HUNTER x HUNTER'. For example, the scene where Damian stands up and defends Anya is based on a dodgeball match that Gon and Killua had with Razor. Additionally, there are parody elements of works such as SLAM DUNK, Captain Tsubasa, Kyojin no Hoshi (Star of the Giants) and Samurai Giants. For some reason, many of the works are old, and fans who knew these original stories seem to be enchanted.

Some fans of the original manga also commented, "Can't they just adapt the original story as is?" Since the original SPY x FAMILY manga is a comedy but with very few parody elements, some may not accept the sudden change of style in the original added content. To become some kind of successful social phenomenon, it seems important not to do certain things that only a few can identify.
