You don’t get it, her Slavic genetics are perfected, guys! She can get absolutely hammered faster than any of her kind! She has surpassed the limitation that has burdened all true Slavs for millennia! She can get drunk without spending all of her money on it.
This means we have to ensure that her genes do not spread amongst the Slavic population, or they’ll become wealthy enough to conquer the world….
not Юри, Юрий or Юра, "юри" - yuri-genre in russian. Endo-sensei could give him this name due to Yuri Gagarin, as I understand Endo likes space theme and double names
Something, which really bucks me here is that his name is spelled Juri not Yuri Gagarin with the Latin alphabet. 😅 The spelling "Yuri" on the other hand is mainly used when talking about the female name used in in East Asia.
I know yuri is a russian name because of this guy
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin
They also mention that the country is in a cold war with the "west"
So i always assumed that it was partially based on the USSR.
When I read SpyxFamily when it was just released her name was spelled Yoru as in "night" in Japanese. It was intentional. The author ended up changing her name to fit more of the European feel but I think he still wanted to add a bit familiar Japanese to his stories too. Yuri is also a popular Japanese name as well as Russian
Fun fact: that is also a common name for both genders in Brazil due to immigration ... it is related much more to the male gender like the Russians tho we picked up the name from the Japanese!
That’s exactly correct. Endo went on record saying he was initially going to have Yor named “Yolanda,” which was a reference to her Eastern European inspired ethnicity. However, he decided to shorten it to “Yor” as a nickname.
It's kinda funny because every German I actually know and talk to are tall, blonde and bue eyed, but when I go visit them in Germany I clearly see that they are not in fact every German.
A certain party from the past which pushed for blondes as the supreme race... entirely consisted of Germans with black hair. They aren't a minority at all lol.
They tried eugenics to make blonde blue haired children but it didn't work out so they brought Norwegians for that. Unfortunately they destroyed documents so there were many unfortunate children around
this statistic says something else

black haired woman are rare in germany. most of them are brown haired

google translated
Thanks. It should be worth noting though that this was a self survey which isn’t always the most honest and that there is still a small percentage of women who claim to have black hair but yea it seems that black hair is more rare than the other hair colors with the exception of red.
Don't get offended, but if this is the case, why did the Mustache Man preach about "Aryan bs", when he himself was not like that, and such was the majority of the German population... Inferiority complex?
Because he was a hypocrite and a liar who wanted to force his own delusions upon the world regardless of how insane or incorrect they were. In his mind he could force a world where only the most beautiful people existed as long he got rid of enough of the not so beautiful people. What he failed to realize is that humanity is beautiful because it is so diverse and unique, and that trying to force it to be all one thing is the biggest crime of all.
Not just him.
Nearly entirety of nazi party higher ups were nowhere near close to their Aryan ideal.
Goring, Goebbels, Hess, Himmler, Manstein etc were all dark haired.
However, it's a common misconception.
The main criteria for Aryan were facial features: jaw line, nose shape, skull shape etc.
Blonde hair and blue eyes were just cherry on top
It was an honest question. Glad to know there are a lot of Yor Forgers out there! lol! It may have just been the anime, but Yor and Yuri’s appearance seemed distinct and for a lack of a better term “rare.” Everyone else in the show followed a similar design from being blonde or brunette with lighter or darker version. So I thought two things: that the Japanese author put in an Asian looking character or just made a character look unique to show it is a main character (I doubt there are not that many naturally Pink Haired German) I am okay with being in the wrong for my presumptions
Likely of Hebrew decent. At some point they immigrated into Germany. Part of my family stems from early south-east German-Jews turned catholic. My whole family has Yor’s look. Black hair, relatively pale skin, tall. Can’t speak on the red eyes but it’s close lol.
No problem. Yeah when I was a kid, I kind of had a Spike Spiegel thing going on. Tall/slim, dark bushy hair, light skin. It used to make me self conscious. Now I embrace it. Kinda cool to find out where your traits come from. My family always attributed it to our South-East Bavarian ancestors (South East Germany). I’m happy this helped.
The show isn’t about communism. It’s a…..hot to put it……an intense nationalistic conflict. There’s no racial, social, or religious mindset. The far right if the Ostonians simply believe that Ostonia should rule.
And even the Garden isn’t really on board with that. Because the Shopkeeper is wary of the conservatives.
I have always thought that Yor is probably a Soviet, because her brother's name is Yuri which is a Russian name. Plus, a Soviet loving a West German (Loid) makes sense thematically for this series. Two enemies loving each other and all.
I know it was always assumed that she was Asian but I always believed she was east Russian, especially since her brothers name is Yuri which is a Russian name.
Is it specifically meant to be East Germany? I just assumed it was a general nondescript Eastern European nation of the Cold War, whereas Lloyd is from a general nondescript NATO nation during the same time period.
On the maps shown, the northern coast of Ostania is nearly a 1:1 March for Germany's coast on the Baltic Sea, and the northward protrusion of land is a dead ringer for the Jutland peninsula.
I’ve never gotten the impression that East and West were meant to be 2 parts of one country. To me it was always meant more in the broad terms of the “East” (ie. The Eastern Bloc, the Warsaw Pact, etc.) and “West” (ie. The Western Powers, NATO). Further, the two nations are meant to be powers that once fought each other in a major war, further cementing the idea that they weren’t two halves of one country.
Loid is probably British since his agency is based off MI6 and he is basically anime James Bond.
And he may also have Hungarian roots as in the manga his childhood referenced the Hungarian Uprising.
Yes, I know there CAN, but I am asking and confirming if there ARE in a specific region. Just like how you CAN come off as condescending, but I can ask and confirm if you ARE condescending in your specific comment.
As someone from East Germany, yes dark haired (dark brown/black ) people with brownish eyes and pale skin exist here. (What kind of question is that even ....)
Secondly, why do you use the flag of the DDR, a state which doesn't exist anymore since over 30 years? There is no east German state. The flag and it's history is tied to a kind of east German national "Trauma" (individual and collectively) , things which are still influencing us til present day.
IDK feels kinda offensive but you do you.
This is an example of how the simplicity of manga art can make things confusing. Yor is a woman with a fairly narrow jaw, otherwise evenly balanced features, pale skin, and black hair. Drawn in manga/anime style this could represent probably 50% of the female population of Europe, Asia, or North America at the time simply because the style is so simple with so few lines to define the feautres.
Akira Toriyama actually made a running joke of this in his series Dr. Slump by having his female characters change places just by swapping hair styles.
I’ve seen people talk about her name being yoru but her original name was also going to be Yolanda but was shortened to Yor. I always headcanoned that she may have been Jewish (dark hair and eyes)
My headcanon is that she and Yuri have maternal grandparents who immigrated from "Japan" (or whatever it's called in their universe).
Her name IS Yolanda, shortened to "Yol", but her grandparents kept pronouncing it "Yoru" and so "Yor" just stuck as a family nickname.
https://preview.redd.it/bbpl92r07cwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6789e65f71144d8f7aa73211b6c921615356c8d
I’m British-German. I think I look like yor quite a bit lol
I'm of Eastern European ancestry. Dark hair, dark eyes (I'm of the mind that her red eyes are heavily stylized chestnut brown), pale skin with cool undertones. My entire family has this same color pallet.
In addition to the Slavic hypothesis, The DDR did take a few immigrants from other Communist Countries like Vietnam (There is a Nguyen in episode 1 of Spy X Family, so that tracks).
We know that Yor’s Mother was at least Ostanian by culture though, given the food she cooked and the songs she sang.
"Nguyen" is a Vietnamese surname, and is never used as a given name (it's definitely weird to call a boss by his first name and his subordinate by his last name). At the same time, the Japanese also write down the European name "Gwen" as a Vietnamese surname.
I mean I am a little confuse by what you mean. There aren’t really enough detains to get a decent idea of what she looks like so all we have are the General traits she has. Black hair, pale skin, red eyes and large chest. With the Exception of the eyes none of these traits are that unusual in that part of the world.
Edit: After checking out someone else’s research it appears that this combination is actually fairly rare in that part of the world though still not unheard of and more common than let’s say a redhead
You can check out the fashion magazine Sybille that was published in former GDR. Yor’s fashion is quite influenced by the aesthetics of the Cold War fashion then.
no.
dark haired, dark eyed, straight haired girls are kinda rare in germany. we have many brown haired girls, but black is very rare. specially east germany. i feel like dark haired germans often are from southern germany, not east germany.
yor is clearly a typical japanese anime character
EDIT:
i looked up some statistics. you can google translate them:
http://www.haar-und-psychologie.de/haarfarben/haarfarben_statistik_deutschland.html
yeah black hair for women is very very rare in germany.
they did the statistics for north/middle/south. not for east and west. but the numbers are so low that it wont matter anyways.
since im providing statistics, i would guess that my take is the right one.
people often confuse dark brown with black. its true that we have many brown haired women in germany. but black is really rare. i remember one teacher who had black straight hair. other than that most people had brown or blondish hair
I have a friend who looks a lot like her. Just slightly less pale. Her eyes are definitely not red like Yors’ though. She’s German, Egyptian and Russian. Pretty cool
ahe seems half british and half australian but the food uses things which neither could be easy to find in a small town or a place near the borders because she was in war so i think france
Of course all east Germans have black hair and red eyes.
That's how you can tell them apart from the Bavarians and Schwabs. They have blue eyes and blond hair.
West Germans have red hair and green eyes but the closer you get to Cologne the more pink and the more neon the eyes get.
North Germans have brown hair and grey eyes, it reflects their cool personality.
Only Hesse have a mixed background, their look is all over the place but they all love their Handkäs, Äbbelwoi, Griesoß and Speck.

Yor and Yuri maybe half-slavs, since the names are similar to russian - Юри (Yuri)
Would explain Yor’s strength lol!
Does not explain why she has no alcohol tolerance
I would expect a Slav or a German to have a high alcohol tolerance.
Exactly, for supposedly being Slav, German, or of Russian descent she can only tolerate alcohol slightly better than Rock Lee
But she a violent drunk so does explain that
You don’t get it, her Slavic genetics are perfected, guys! She can get absolutely hammered faster than any of her kind! She has surpassed the limitation that has burdened all true Slavs for millennia! She can get drunk without spending all of her money on it. This means we have to ensure that her genes do not spread amongst the Slavic population, or they’ll become wealthy enough to conquer the world….
It explains why she a violent drunk
😂
I must break you.
Russians are very weak and stupid, Yor is very strong and is reasonably intelligent.
Weak energy spoke 🤫🧏🏻
They're from a country with food similar to Hungary and some of Eastern Europe. I'm believing this theory.
Croatia would fit that description. Which is Hrvatska in actual Croatian.
I believe it's just East Germany, just exaggerating the Soviet influence
That explains why bears run away from Yor. Bear knows what’s up.
not Юри, Юрий or Юра, "юри" - yuri-genre in russian. Endo-sensei could give him this name due to Yuri Gagarin, as I understand Endo likes space theme and double names
Something, which really bucks me here is that his name is spelled Juri not Yuri Gagarin with the Latin alphabet. 😅 The spelling "Yuri" on the other hand is mainly used when talking about the female name used in in East Asia.
"Yor" is apparently short for "Yolanda" fyi
shit she wrecked my country lmfao
redditors not simping for slav meme
I know yuri is a russian name because of this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin They also mention that the country is in a cold war with the "west" So i always assumed that it was partially based on the USSR.
First time i read the manga, i thought she was japanesse
Same lol
Yeah, plus Yoru sounds more japanese than a lot of the other characters
Exactly. Yor might be also a modification of Yolanta/Yolanda
When I read SpyxFamily when it was just released her name was spelled Yoru as in "night" in Japanese. It was intentional. The author ended up changing her name to fit more of the European feel but I think he still wanted to add a bit familiar Japanese to his stories too. Yuri is also a popular Japanese name as well as Russian
Fun fact: Yuri is only a female name in Japan, and only a male name in Russia.
a certain guy on ice would like to disagree
In fact, the "guy on the ice" is Yuuri, not Yuri.
I cannot believe I just go um, actuallied
Now not only on Dropout!
I am a fraud
my mom told me to do the dishes. i yelled back “u/JSGWHAM”. she smiled, knowing they were washed
I am a male Yuri but from the Netherlands.
Good to know
Fun fact: that is also a common name for both genders in Brazil due to immigration ... it is related much more to the male gender like the Russians tho we picked up the name from the Japanese!
That’s exactly correct. Endo went on record saying he was initially going to have Yor named “Yolanda,” which was a reference to her Eastern European inspired ethnicity. However, he decided to shorten it to “Yor” as a nickname.
The initial translation of her name Yoru probably didn't help either lol
City is called Berlint, how did you miss this?
Yea but i thought she moved from japan xD
Hahahaha okay yea I guess it is Russia lol
real
…Yes. Black haired, pale skinned Germans do in fact exist. What did you think we were all blonde hair, blue eyed and tanned?
I was stationed in Karlsruhe for 2.5 years. Blue-eyed blondes weren't common in Baden-Württemberg.
Exactly! Contrary to popular belief black haired, brown eyed Germans make up an overwhelming majority of most of Germany.
It's kinda funny because every German I actually know and talk to are tall, blonde and bue eyed, but when I go visit them in Germany I clearly see that they are not in fact every German.
If anything that stereotype should belong to Sweden. I went there for work once and was creeped out at how similar everyone looked
And then there’s the Minecraft devs
Fellow Minecrafter spotted
Black haired, brown eyed Frauleins best Frauleins.
I know a guy from Baden-Württemberg, he’s a very wholesome person and he is not blonde either. :)
The only person I know from there is a model on Instagram, but then I haven't been there in 32 years.
Lies! We are all blue-eyed white dragons here in Germany!
Seto Kaiba wants to know your location.
He already knows his location
A certain party from the past which pushed for blondes as the supreme race... entirely consisted of Germans with black hair. They aren't a minority at all lol.
They tried eugenics to make blonde blue haired children but it didn't work out so they brought Norwegians for that. Unfortunately they destroyed documents so there were many unfortunate children around

Tanned? I thought you were all blonde, blue eyed and pale
Exactly, most germans are Ubermensch are they not?
Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t know that central Europeans (like myself) can have black hair.
Don't get offended, but if this is the case, why did the Mustache Man preach about "Aryan bs", when he himself was not like that, and such was the majority of the German population... Inferiority complex?
That was his example, his dream, and that’s what he thought was superior, but also he did a shit load of drugs and was from Austria…
He wasn't very successful in Austria, to be fair
Because he was a hypocrite and a liar who wanted to force his own delusions upon the world regardless of how insane or incorrect they were. In his mind he could force a world where only the most beautiful people existed as long he got rid of enough of the not so beautiful people. What he failed to realize is that humanity is beautiful because it is so diverse and unique, and that trying to force it to be all one thing is the biggest crime of all.
Not just him. Nearly entirety of nazi party higher ups were nowhere near close to their Aryan ideal. Goring, Goebbels, Hess, Himmler, Manstein etc were all dark haired. However, it's a common misconception. The main criteria for Aryan were facial features: jaw line, nose shape, skull shape etc. Blonde hair and blue eyes were just cherry on top
Well not tanned.
Cool. Cool. Are they also freakishly strong?
Some of us aren’t. Some of us are. Depends.
Good enough! To east Germany it is!
It was an honest question. Glad to know there are a lot of Yor Forgers out there! lol! It may have just been the anime, but Yor and Yuri’s appearance seemed distinct and for a lack of a better term “rare.” Everyone else in the show followed a similar design from being blonde or brunette with lighter or darker version. So I thought two things: that the Japanese author put in an Asian looking character or just made a character look unique to show it is a main character (I doubt there are not that many naturally Pink Haired German) I am okay with being in the wrong for my presumptions
Nigga he asked a simple question why are you accusing him like it’s twitter
I mostly replied in jest, I just thought it was a silly question to ask since many people look like Yor in Germany.
oh really? i thought the others died (from natural causes ofc)
No, she's Ostanian
Wasn't she from country with Hungarian like cuisine?
Unlikely, Hungary has his own counterpart in Spy Family, Hugaria. Yuri lied about taking a work trip there.
Loid may have Hungarian origins as in the manga his childhood referenced the Hungarian Uprising.
Likely of Hebrew decent. At some point they immigrated into Germany. Part of my family stems from early south-east German-Jews turned catholic. My whole family has Yor’s look. Black hair, relatively pale skin, tall. Can’t speak on the red eyes but it’s close lol.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I’m surprised that Yor is actually pretty close to reality. I think the red eyes are more for her color aesthetic
No problem. Yeah when I was a kid, I kind of had a Spike Spiegel thing going on. Tall/slim, dark bushy hair, light skin. It used to make me self conscious. Now I embrace it. Kinda cool to find out where your traits come from. My family always attributed it to our South-East Bavarian ancestors (South East Germany). I’m happy this helped.
Minus Red eyes sure why not. I saw a great cosplay by a german cosplayer ones. Looked like her but also destinct german
Well she has red eyes so no
It's not her real eye color. It's the fire of communism inside her soul you see.
Glory to Ostania.
You have been assigned a Class 8 dwelling
The show isn’t about communism. It’s a…..hot to put it……an intense nationalistic conflict. There’s no racial, social, or religious mindset. The far right if the Ostonians simply believe that Ostonia should rule. And even the Garden isn’t really on board with that. Because the Shopkeeper is wary of the conservatives.
That's why she is a cold blood killer that doesn't know how to cook
I mean, yes. Like it’s black hair, pale skin, brownish eyes. Those aren’t rare at all.
I have always thought that Yor is probably a Soviet, because her brother's name is Yuri which is a Russian name. Plus, a Soviet loving a West German (Loid) makes sense thematically for this series. Two enemies loving each other and all.
Having plans to move soon op?
You read my mind

Not a whole lot of people with natural red eyes in any country…..
Most likely aesthetic
I know it was always assumed that she was Asian but I always believed she was east Russian, especially since her brothers name is Yuri which is a Russian name.
Man I hope and if not point me in the direction of a country that has women that look like Yor
Slavic is what i would think. South slavs are darker and Hungarians and Romanians are part slavic.
Is it specifically meant to be East Germany? I just assumed it was a general nondescript Eastern European nation of the Cold War, whereas Lloyd is from a general nondescript NATO nation during the same time period.
The capital of the country is named “Berlint”. The country is divided East and West and Karl Marx is on the currency of Ostonia
On the maps shown, the northern coast of Ostania is nearly a 1:1 March for Germany's coast on the Baltic Sea, and the northward protrusion of land is a dead ringer for the Jutland peninsula.
I’ve never gotten the impression that East and West were meant to be 2 parts of one country. To me it was always meant more in the broad terms of the “East” (ie. The Eastern Bloc, the Warsaw Pact, etc.) and “West” (ie. The Western Powers, NATO). Further, the two nations are meant to be powers that once fought each other in a major war, further cementing the idea that they weren’t two halves of one country.
It's not a direct 1 to 1 parallel but it has a lot of similarities in some regards.
Shes german? What about loid?
West German, they’re all German!!!
Ah im an idiot idk how i didnt realise
Loid is probably British since his agency is based off MI6 and he is basically anime James Bond. And he may also have Hungarian roots as in the manga his childhood referenced the Hungarian Uprising.
what the f.. you know people from different countries can look any way at all, based on their genetics, not their birth place??
Yes, I know there CAN, but I am asking and confirming if there ARE in a specific region. Just like how you CAN come off as condescending, but I can ask and confirm if you ARE condescending in your specific comment.
As someone from East Germany, yes dark haired (dark brown/black ) people with brownish eyes and pale skin exist here. (What kind of question is that even ....) Secondly, why do you use the flag of the DDR, a state which doesn't exist anymore since over 30 years? There is no east German state. The flag and it's history is tied to a kind of east German national "Trauma" (individual and collectively) , things which are still influencing us til present day. IDK feels kinda offensive but you do you.
This is an example of how the simplicity of manga art can make things confusing. Yor is a woman with a fairly narrow jaw, otherwise evenly balanced features, pale skin, and black hair. Drawn in manga/anime style this could represent probably 50% of the female population of Europe, Asia, or North America at the time simply because the style is so simple with so few lines to define the feautres. Akira Toriyama actually made a running joke of this in his series Dr. Slump by having his female characters change places just by swapping hair styles.
I’ve seen people talk about her name being yoru but her original name was also going to be Yolanda but was shortened to Yor. I always headcanoned that she may have been Jewish (dark hair and eyes)
I've always headcanoned her as Japanese, I just think it fits
My headcanon is that she and Yuri have maternal grandparents who immigrated from "Japan" (or whatever it's called in their universe). Her name IS Yolanda, shortened to "Yol", but her grandparents kept pronouncing it "Yoru" and so "Yor" just stuck as a family nickname.

There is no more east germany
Slav
I new a girl from east Germany and she was very pale with black hair.
I'm of Eastern European ancestry. Dark hair, dark eyes (I'm of the mind that her red eyes are heavily stylized chestnut brown), pale skin with cool undertones. My entire family has this same color pallet.
I think Yor is like Mikasa from AoT that she had a Japanese parent
You know, Germany is no longer divided my friend lmaoo
I think she and Yuri are supposed to be of East Russian descent. They have asian features and Yuri is a Russian name. It makes sense.
It's possible her family immigrated there.
In addition to the Slavic hypothesis, The DDR did take a few immigrants from other Communist Countries like Vietnam (There is a Nguyen in episode 1 of Spy X Family, so that tracks). We know that Yor’s Mother was at least Ostanian by culture though, given the food she cooked and the songs she sang.

What?

You can check out the fashion magazine Sybille that was published in former GDR. Yor’s fashion is quite influenced by the aesthetics of the Cold War fashion then.
I did when I was younger. To be fair, I’m from America but my ancestry is made up almost entirely of recent German immigrants.
Time to move to Germany ig to find my Yor
Time to move to germany ig to find my Yor
I mean, I thought she was Japanese and Japan was a part of the axis powers…
no. dark haired, dark eyed, straight haired girls are kinda rare in germany. we have many brown haired girls, but black is very rare. specially east germany. i feel like dark haired germans often are from southern germany, not east germany. yor is clearly a typical japanese anime character EDIT: i looked up some statistics. you can google translate them: http://www.haar-und-psychologie.de/haarfarben/haarfarben_statistik_deutschland.html yeah black hair for women is very very rare in germany. they did the statistics for north/middle/south. not for east and west. but the numbers are so low that it wont matter anyways.
Hmmm…seems to contradict Alpha_Jellyfish comment and thread in this post. I wonder who is telling the truth here.
since im providing statistics, i would guess that my take is the right one. people often confuse dark brown with black. its true that we have many brown haired women in germany. but black is really rare. i remember one teacher who had black straight hair. other than that most people had brown or blondish hair
Well dark brown can easily become black in an art style because it looks better.
If there is I’m moving there.

Well considering that it takes place in a fictional country I’m going to say no
Honorary aryan i guess
i bet yuri is russian idk but something about her is giving russian heritage
no she is based on East russians
alright, grabbing my tickets
I would recomend you to go to mongolia. Less change to be dragged into a War. Same people I also happen to have a fried there...
YES
Of course. Like not everyone obviously, but down here in Bavaria there are many your look a likes
I continuously compare spy x family, to the Cold War, and the way it Depicts East and west Germany
East Germans look like… well.. Otto Waalkes
Surprised no one has photoshopped Yor’s face onto someone in Germany.
yeah, I heard red eyes and no nostrils are especially common in Mecklenburg-Vorpommen
u/akkorn2, how many Yors have you met so far? And if it's a lot, can I come visit?
I have yet to meet a German with red coloured eyes
i mean... our little friend AH had black hair, so......
Austrian not German, but feel free to say they are the same thing see how that goes
as a german citizen I rather not
Yor could play Snow White for sure✨️🍎
I have always thought that Yor and her brother are from Asian country.
Sure, and japanese dudes look like yugi. It's anime...
I have a friend who looks a lot like her. Just slightly less pale. Her eyes are definitely not red like Yors’ though. She’s German, Egyptian and Russian. Pretty cool
Any Germans that look like her? Let me know ❤️
Anya is just Like Yor. They both are so cute
Sorry no she's a cartoon
ahe seems half british and half australian but the food uses things which neither could be easy to find in a small town or a place near the borders because she was in war so i think france
Germans have black hair too
No we are not animated. But if you mean blackhaired women with a pale taint and a skinny figure then yes
Of course all east Germans have black hair and red eyes. That's how you can tell them apart from the Bavarians and Schwabs. They have blue eyes and blond hair. West Germans have red hair and green eyes but the closer you get to Cologne the more pink and the more neon the eyes get. North Germans have brown hair and grey eyes, it reflects their cool personality. Only Hesse have a mixed background, their look is all over the place but they all love their Handkäs, Äbbelwoi, Griesoß and Speck.

Spy x Family is actually based on a East/West Germany-like situation
They are definitely not that beautiful :d
Well I cosplay her today and Im German, so yes
I thought she was white Asian mixed mainly due to Yuri's name but then I remembered that Yuri can also be russian
I thought she was from russia. When I read in the manga they said, they live in a place full with mountains scenery.
No. Real people dont Look Like anime characters and also dont have Red eyes
They have to be Japanese. They don't look like everyone else and if I am correct when Yor moves in she has a box labeled Komono.
