10 Best Loid Quotes in Spy X Family (2024)

Loid Forger is not just Spy x Family's main hero, he is one of the wisest and most nuanced characters in the show. Living under the nickname, Loid Forger, his true identity is Twilight, a world-renowned spy. His current mission, Operation Strix, is his most difficult yet, requiring him to form a fake family in order to fly under the radar as an average dad.

Loid is not just a strong fighter and clever spy, he is also a caring husband, and great at dealing with children, which he discovered when he adopted Anya for his mission. Although his father and husband roles are fake, he plays them well and with sincerity.

Loid is wise, disciplined, and guided by strong morals that aid him in always doing the right thing.

10 "Friends Are Important. Cherish Them."

Loid Urges Anya To Remember the Importance of Strong Friendships

When Anya got into a fight with Damian at school, Loid was careful to remind her to consider her priorities. Although he does not want his daughter to be mistreated, it is crucial that she gets along with Damian. Gaining access to Damian's father is an integral goal of Operation Strix.

Loid urged Anya to remember the value of friendship and how important these bonds are. The opportunity to make friends is one of the best parts of the school experience. Loid's advice was helpful to Anya because she became friends with her classmates like Becky and even patched things up with Damian.

9 "The Mistake Was Endangering That Child in the First Place. How Did I Not See That? Making a World Where Kids Don’t Need To Cry... That Was the Whole Reason... I Became a Spy in the First Place."

Loid Reveals the Unshakable Personal Value That Led Him To Choose His Spy Profession

In this telling quote, Loid reminds viewers why he chose his spy profession. His desire to protect children from harm is admirable, and it is this value that led him to his chosen career. Loid hopes that one day the world will be a loving place for children to feel secure.

This is also why Loid is developing such an attachment to Anya, even though he insists she is just a pawn in his mission. Despite his protests, he appears to genuinely care for her as his own daughter and will stop at nothing to protect her from being hurt. His passion for keeping children safe is yet another reason he is anime's best father.

8 "You Gotta Be Careful. Because There’s Someone Else Back Home Who’d Be Heartbroken if Anything Happened to You."

Loid Warns Bond, the Family Pet, To Take Care of Himself, Lest He Risk Disappointing Anya

These touching and insightful words are spoken to Bond Forger, the family pet. Loid warns Bond that he needs to exercise caution because Anya would be devastated if any harm ever came to him. Although this message was spoken specifically to Bond, it could apply to any member of the Forger family.

Although the family was created intentionally for the purposes of a spy mission, it has grown into something greater. Whether they admit it or not, they all care for one another. If any one of the Forgers left the family or was harmed, it would negatively impact the other family members, proving that Loid's words to Bond ring true on a larger scale.

7 "Ignorance Isn’t Bliss. Ignorance Is Weakness. Ignorance Is a Sin."

Loid Values Self-Awareness and Careful Consideration of Decisions Before Making Any Choice

Spy x Family is often considered to be a lighthearted slice-of-life series. It does have those elements indeed, but there is a more serious story at its core. The overarching plot follows a war between two nations and Loid's efforts to protect world peace.

This quote stems from Loid's experiences dealing with war. He explains how crucial it is to know what you are fighting for and not blindly follow a cause without understanding every detail. Loid is an intentional person who thinks through his decisions methodically, so it makes sense that he would never want to be ignorant in any aspect of his life.

6 "Hopes of Marriage? The Joys of an Ordinary Life? Those Joined My I.D. Papers in the Rubbish Bin on the Day I Became a Spy."

Loid Gave up Dreams of Family, but Found Himself Leading the Life He Never Thought He’d Have

The life of a spy is not an easy one and no one understands that more than Loid Forger. Loid has spent years without a family, a partner, or a steady and predictable job. He made all of these monumental sacrifices because living a normal life is impossible for those with careers like his.

Ironically, although Loid claims to have made his peace with never having "an ordinary life," he seems to deeply enjoy his time as a father and husband in the Forger family. From helping Anya study to going on dates with Yor, Loid stumbled into an average and delightful life. He is living in a way he never dreamed he would be able to when he entered his job.

5 "If Belittling the Feelings of Children Is a Part of Eden Academy’s Educational Philosophy... Then I Have Chosen the Wrong School."

Loid Stands up to Professor Swan’s Cruelty and Boldly Protects Anya’s Feelings

In one of Loid's most noble moments yet, he stood up to Professor Swan during Anya's Eden Academy entrance exam. Professor Swan began grilling Anya with uncomfortable questions about her childhood and birth parents, causing her to burst into tears. Upon seeing Swan's provocation of Anya, Loid became enraged and punched the man.

Even though it could have completely jeopardized Operation Strix, Loid was unwilling to let a child suffer for the sake of his mission. The fact that he was willing to fail at his mission to keep Anya happy proves that he cares for her. Loid is not willing to sacrifice his morals for any reason, and that makes him a respectable hero.

4 "Of Course, I Believe That Working Hard To Be Your Best Self Is Admirable."

Loid’s Focus On Personal Growth Is Admirable, Giving Him a Satisfying Character Arc

Self-improvement is always at the forefront of Loid's mind. He is the most hardworking character in Spy x Family. Loid is willing to sacrifice anything in order to contribute to the success of his missions.

This quote is one of Loid's wisest remarks, expressing the importance of always working diligently to be a better version of oneself. He is dedicated to improving, not just as a spy, but as a human being. This makes his character arc satisfying to watch because he is always growing and changing positively.

3 "Very Little of What My Daughter Says and Does Makes Any Sense to Me. But by Acknowledging Her, Even When I Don’t Understand, I Can at Least Create an Opportunity for Dialogue."

Loid Is a Careful Listener to Anya, Even When Her Behavior or Remarks Confuse Him

Loid and Anya sometimes butt heads. Whether it's over Anya refusing to do homework or Loid misunderstanding a comment she makes, they do not always see eye to eye. In this line, Loid explains that he tries his best to relate to Anya even if he does not fully understand her.

By meeting Anya on her level, Loid has built trust and established himself as a father figure she can depend on. Although they do have their disagreements, as most parents and children do, they try their best to find common ground, even when it's difficult. Loid's dedication to getting to know Anya deeply only helps their bond grow.

2 "Completing Such Mundane Missions That Require Patience Makes a True Spy."

Loid Acknowledges the Importance of Composure When Completing Spy Missions

The saying "patience is a virtue" rings true for Loid Forger. His spy profession requires patience and careful behavior. One small mistake could ruin a mission, so he is constantly walking on eggshells.

Being a spy may seem to be an action-packed career, and oftentimes it is. However, Loid acknowledges the fact that not every mission is larger-than-life, some of them are boring. It is his willingness to work just as hard at the lackluster missions as he does at the exciting ones that makes him a great spy.

1 "Striving To Live Up to One’s Ideals Is an Admirable Thing, of Course, but When Those Ideals Start to Constrict You, It’s Easy To Lose Sight of Who You Are and Where Your True Strengths Lie."

Loid Always Works To Live Up to His True Potential

Loid often finds himself at a crossroads. He wants to be the best spy he can be, but still make honorable decisions. He explains that he never wants to become so dedicated to an ideal version of himself that it keeps him from living up to his potential.

Loid often finds himself pulled in different directions. It is crucial for him to have a clear understanding of who he is and what he values, and he seems to. In this quote, he elaborates on this point, hammering home how important it is to him to reevaluate the path he is on and make sure it aligns with his values and virtues.
