The success of the Spy x Family anime has brought a wave of new fans to the much-loved comedy. Over time, we’re learning more about Loid’s work for Westalis’ spy organisation WISE. However, very little is revealed about the group that Yor works for in Spy x Family.
Just like Loid, Yor receives her missions from a large, shadowy organisation. However, her group has different ambitions from WISE.
Note: Beware of mild spoilers from the Spy x Family manga that are yet to be addressed in the anime.

Who Does Yor Work for in Spy x Family?

+ 2It is revealed later in the Spy x Family manga that Yor is part of a mysterious assassination group known as Garden.
Garden is a group of lethal assassins operating in Ostania. Very little is known about Garden, and they are usually regarded as an urban legend. However, they are very much real.
It’s worth noting that Garden is different to the State Security Service, the Ostanian intelligence agency where Yor’s brother Yuri works. While the SSS is officially tied to the Ostanian government, Garden operates outside those parameters.
So far in the Spy x Family manga, not all members of Garden have been revealed. It’s believed that just one of them – such as Yor – is strong enough to kill an entire military troop.
The main mission of Garden is not to stop a war, like with WISE. Instead, they exist purely to eliminate traitors and anyone that threatens Ostania – including Westalian spies.
Does that Mean Yor is the Bad Guy in Spy x Family?!
click to enlarge + 2You don’t need to worry. While the ending of Spy x Family is yet to be revealed, it’s highly unlikely that Yor is going to turn bad.
Yor joined Garden as a child, when she and Yuri were orphans, so she could provide for her brother. She continues her work with them in the present so she has money to spend for herself, along with the fact that it’s all she’s ever known and her greatest strength.
It has been hinted in the manga that Yor has considered leaving Garden and her assassination work since joining the Forgers.
It can also be debated whether Garden are the bad guys at all. In the Cold War-inspired world of Spy x Family where covert operations run rife, Garden, like everyone else, is trying to maintain some semblance of peace. Everyone – WISE, SSS and Garden – is going about it their own way, often with complete distrust for the others.
Perhaps some time in the future Yor’s involvement with Garden will come to a turning point. We’ll just have to keep enjoying the series until then!
