Recap / SPY×FAMILY - Manga: Great Cruise Adventure Arc

While Yor is hired as an assassin to protect a mob heiress, her "husband" Loid, and "daughter" Anya end up on the same cruise, the Princess Lorelei, having won tickets in sweepstakes. Along the way, they encounter various assassins and wiretaps.

Tropes present in the Great Cruise Adventure Arc:

• Affably Evil: For a hit-man who's willing to kill a baby and his mother, the assassin ringleader is pretty friendly and laid-back. He makes it very clear that he doesn't want any infighting among the Carnival of Killers, pointing out there is plenty of award money for everybody. He also wants to keep the civilian causalities to a minimum, killing another assassin for daring to suggest that the group should kill every baby and mother on the cruise ship just to be sure they got their target. With that being said, when he finds out that the Princess Lorelei is set to explode, he still cuts his losses and abandons his supposed comrades, fleeing in a lifeboat to fight another day.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: It's implied that Snoops was planning on turning on the other assassins even if their assassination had gone off as planned, as he had planted time bombs all over the ship without telling anyone else. When the leader of the assassins finds out about it and attempts to flee with him on Snoops' raft, Snoops pulls a gun on him.
• Consummate Professional: To the assassin ringleader, assassination is simply a job with a steady paycheck, one that he takes no unprofessional pleasure in, any more than a butcher would killing cattle for his daily bread. Therefore, anyone who takes unnecessary sadistic joy in killing is a disgrace to the profession, and a mad dog that should be put down as quick as possible.
• Contrived Coincidence: Anya wins passes for the same luxury cruise ship that Yor is assigned to by her superiors.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: With most of her family gone, all Olka wants to do is start over and leave the country so she can raise her son in peace, far away from Ostania's criminal underworld.
• Mama Bear: Olka will do anything to protect her son Gram, including drastically changing her physical appearance and hiring assassins to protect them from a Carnival of Killers.
• Mob War: Olka Gretcher and her son Gram are the only survivors of a massacre perpetrated by Leonardo Hapoon, the new top crime boss, against the Gretcher Crime Family.
• No Honor Among Thieves: Several assassins conspire to cooperate in killing the Gretchers and sharing the prize money, but secretly plan to kill the others and claim the bounty for themselves.
• Sent Into Hiding: Olka and her son Gram are the last survivors of her family's massacre, and are forced to go on the run to escape a similar fate.
• Sinister Surveillance: Thanks to the bugs Snoops planted around the Princess Lorelei, he can hear everything that's going on around the ship, with the exception of a few select spots.
