What to expect from Spy x Family chapter 72?

Chapter 71 ended with police halting the bus using a road spike and surrounding it. It seems they made it in time before the kidnappers could reach their destination. This means the kids stand a chance of being saved, assuming that the members of the Red Circus don't resort to more violent measures.

Yuri picked up information on the hijacking, so there is a chance he might make an appearance. The last thing he would want was to see his sister bothered if something were to happen to Anya.

On the other hand, Twilight's handler got a whiff of the situation as well, so it is likely that she had a hand in the police getting there on time. Given the current situation, the Red Circus' demands are unclear, but that should be revealed in the next chapter.

Spy x Family chapter 71 recap

Chapter 71 kicks off with Yuri Briar, Yor's brother, finding out about the highjack situation. Initially reluctant to act, he realizes that Yor's most precious Anya is on the bus, and anything happening to her would greatly distress his beloved sister. However, the Lieutenant at his base prevents him from taking any actions, taking into account that Anya might possibly recognize him.

Elsewhere, Becky's father was deeply bothered by the news. In a fit of desperation, he considered dispatching all the tanks and jets he had to rescue his daughter.

On the bus, Anya, thanks to her telepathic abilities, found out that the bomb strapped to her was fake. She began to play around with it, which got the other children panicking.

Looking to take a stand and help Anya, Damian stood up and asked to be strapped with the bomb in place of Anya. As a result. Billy Squire happily complied and strapped him with a bomb as well. Now on edge, Anya reassured him and revealed to him that the bomb was fake.

Just then, the bus rattled to a halt. Outside, police had finally arrived and quickly surrounded the bus after using spikes to bring it to a stop.
