SPY x FAMILY Threatens Anya's Safety in Intense New Bus Hijacking Arc Visual and Trailer Reveal

The celebrated global phenomenon, SPY x FAMILY, is set to escalate the stakes dramatically as the anime unveils a thrilling new visual and a suspense-laden trailer for the highly anticipated Bus Hijacking Arc. This pivotal narrative shift marks a critical, high-tension chapter for the beloved Forger family.

According to an electrifying promotional video distributed by TOHO Animation, this intense sequence which promises heightened action and significant emotional depth made its debut in Japan on November 8, 2025, at 11:00 p.m., broadcast across TV Tokyo and its affiliated networks.

The Bus Hijacking Arc, faithfully adapting Tatsuya Endō’s source manga (also known to dedicated readers as the Red Circus Arc), is once again being brought to life by the collaborative genius of Wit Studio and CloverWorks. Season 3 sees the return of Yukiko Imai in the director's chair, ensuring continuity and quality in the animation execution.

The newly released visual immediately immerses viewers in the crisis, portraying Loid, Yor, and young Anya caught amidst the chaos of a hijacked school bus, visually underscoring the immediate danger. The accompanying trailer further heightens the sense of peril, strongly suggesting that this mission will be the most dangerous Loid and Yor have faced yet, particularly as the safety of their precocious, telepathic daughter, Anya, is directly compromised by the unfolding events.

Behind the scenes, the established creative team maintains its excellence, with Rino Yamazaki handling the series composition and Kazuaki Shimada continuing his role as the character designer, guaranteeing the signature visual aesthetic fans expect. The auditory landscape for this arc is equally compelling. The opening theme, "Hi o Mamoru" performed by Spitz, establishes a poignant and introspective mood, contrasting sharply with the drama. Following the action, the ending song, "Actor" by Lilas Ikuta, beautifully emphasizes the emotional resonance and underlying stakes of the Forgers' complex existence.

International fans can follow the drama closely, as SPY x FAMILY Season 3 streams globally on Crunchyroll shortly after its Japanese airing (excluding Asia), complete with the prompt availability of the highly popular English dub.

This Bus Hijacking Arc is widely anticipated to serve as a major turning point, successfully merging the franchise's celebrated blend of sharp humor and genuine heart with elevated sequences of action and suspense. Building on its multi-season success, a blockbuster feature film (Code: White), and even successful stage musical adaptations, SPY x FAMILY continues its reign as a cross-media powerhouse, deepening its global impact within the modern anime landscape. The commitment of the production team to meticulous pacing, nuanced character dynamics, and superior animation promises that this new chapter will deliver an unforgettable mix of nail-biting thrills and the warm, found-family charm that has cemented the series’ status as a contemporary classic.
