YMMV / SPY×FAMILY CODE: White

Go To

  • Accidental Aesop: Kids, don't open suitcases from strangers.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Anya's daydream about the poop god giving her permission to go is basically surreal in the context of the film, and has little to do with the plot beyond Anya's desperation to avoid defecating the microfilm out.
  • Complete Monster: Colonel Snidel is a high-ranking member of the Ostania military intelligence who seeks a microfilm to accelerate the potential war between the East and West countries. Using fear to control his soldiers, even making a point to kill every spy he comes across, Snidel, when he finds out that Anya accidentally swallowed the microfilm needed for his upcoming attack, threatens to disembowel her to acquire it, much to the horror of his own lackeys.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: When the Toilet Humor in the climax threatens to get too gross and repetitive to be funny, the animation cuts to a bizarre sequence in a completely different artstyle that's so ridiculously over-the-top that it starts to become funny again.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Colonel Snidel is a truly despicable man from the beginning, but crosses into this trope when he orders his henchmen to disembowel Anya to get at the microfilm they think she's swallowed even though biology is likely to force her to poop it out soon anyway, then threatens to disembowel them instead when they hesitate. After that, when Anya does give in, his threats to kill them if they don't wade through the sewage tanks to find the microfilm on the double and to disembowel Anya regardless just in case the microfilm is still stuck in her system don't seem out of place at all.
  • Squick: A full 10 minutes (maybe more) is given to the villains' trying to get Anya to poop out the microfilm. This includes, but isn't limited to: trying to get her to use a training toilet; to her dancing in order to avoid going in her pants; to a daydream of talking to a poop god giving her permission to go; to her finally going and the main villain telling his subordinates to swim in the sewage tank. To top it off, when we finally see it, its color, shape and size would have made it really difficult to find among fecal matter. Mercifully, the movie doesn't show any realistic poop on-screen, as is customary in Japanese works.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • The fact that Anya doesn't get to try the Meremere.
    • Anya wants to accompany Loid to find the cherry liquor (the last ingredient of the Meremere) but when Loid rejects it, she goes to the bedroom, saddened. She hugs Bond out of sadness.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The chef at the Rubbles & Bonds has a likable backstory and most of the movie is spent trying to get him the ingredients he needs to make a special cake for the protagonists. He's even established to be a former fighter pilot in a story that includes a lot of aerial combat in the finale. He's never seen again after they leave his restaurant, and doesn't even pass on the recipe to them when they're shown trying to make it in the last legs of the movie.
