Spy x Family fans are seeing a long-overdue change in one of the series’ most debated characters—Yuri Briar. Known for being Yor’s protective younger brother and a key figure in the State Security Service, Yuri has often caused discomfort among fans because of his obsessive behavior towards his sister.

Now, in Chapter 114 of the manga, readers get to see a different side of him—one that hints at growth, self-reflection, and even a possible change in his future actions. This chapter gives hope that Yuri is finally moving beyond his one-sided obsession and accepting the reality of his sister’s new life.

A Night Out That Changed Everything

Chapter 114 begins with Yuri and Yor spending time together after a long gap. It’s clear from the start that Yuri still finds it hard to share his sister’s attention with her family—Loid and Anya. When Yor talks about wanting to buy gifts for them, it makes Yuri visibly jealous.

Later, during dinner, Yor happily shares how much Loid and Anya mean to her. This makes Yuri act out, leading to both of them getting kicked out of the restaurant. Yor, although a bit frustrated, calmly reminds Yuri that he will always be her little brother. She thanks him for everything he’s done for her in the past.

The moment is short but touching. It helps Yuri realize that he’s not the center of Yor’s world anymore, and for the first time, he seems to accept that.

A Lonely Apartment and a Big Realization

After their dinner, Yuri returns to his apartment—alone. This part of the chapter gives us a peek into his emotional state. He begins to reflect on his life. For years, his main goal was to protect Yor. He tried to become the perfect citizen and took on a dangerous job in the secret police, all to make sure she stayed safe.

But now, Yor has a family and people she loves. Yuri starts to wonder if he made the right choices. Just when the mood feels heavy, he gets a phone call. His co-workers invite him out for drinks. Instead of declining like he normally would, Yuri accepts. This small moment is big for his character—it shows he might finally be ready to move on and focus on his own life.

Is Yuri Finally Changing?

Yuri has always been one of the smartest and most skilled characters in Spy x Family, but his unhealthy obsession with Yor made it hard for fans to truly support him. This chapter gives hope that his personality is evolving. If he continues on this new path, he could become one of the most loved characters in the story.

A less jealous Yuri could also mean fewer problems for Loid. As a spy pretending to be Yor’s husband, Loid often faces Yuri’s harsh questioning and suspicion. If Yuri stops interfering, it could make Operation Strix run more smoothly.

Chloe Might Finally Get Her Chance

Fans also noticed something else—Yuri’s co-worker Chloe, who has a crush on him, might play a bigger role now. If Yuri lets go of his obsession with Yor, he might finally notice Chloe’s feelings. This could lead to a new romantic storyline, something fans have been hoping to see for a long time.

Could Yuri Reveal His Secret First?

Towards the end of the chapter, Yuri seems worried that Yor might one day find out about his real job. He works for the State Security Service, and he knows this would upset her. He wishes he could be honest with her. This makes fans wonder: Will Yuri be the first in the story to reveal his true identity?
