Hey anime fans! I’ve been totally obsessed with Spy x Family lately (who isn’t?) and one question keeps popping up in my mind – what will our adorable telepath Anya look like when she grows up? Well. I did some digging and what I found is pretty amazing!
The Big Revelation: Meet Ashe, Anya’s Adult “Twin”
You guys won’t believe this, but Tatsuya Endo (the genius behind Spy x Family) actually gave us a sneak peek at grown-up Anya way before she even existed! Here’s the tea:
- Back in 2014, Endo created a one-shot manga called “Rengoku no Ashe”
- The main character, Ashe, looks EXACTLY like what Anya might look like as an adult
- Same iconic pink hair (just a bit curlier)
- Those signature black and gold horns we all love
- Even rocks a mature version of Anya’s classic outfit!
The Similarities Are Uncanny!
Let me break down what makes Ashe basically Anya’s adult version
Physical Features
- Bubblegum pink hair (Anya’s trademark!)
- Black jacket with gold trim (sound familiar?)
- Those distinctive black and gold horns
- Professional, mature appearance
Key Differences
- Ashe’s hair is slightly curled, not straight like Anya’s
- More serious facial expressions
- Quieter personality (very un-Anya-like!)
- Works as a nurse (hiding magical powers)
Will Anya’s Personality Change Too?
Here’s where things get interesting! While Ashe and Anya look like twins separated by time their personalities couldn’t be more different
Current Anya:
- Super energetic
- Totally goofy
- Wears her heart on her sleeve
- Lives for peanuts and spy adventures!
Ashe (Potential Adult Anya):
- Reserved and quiet
- More sophisticated
- Kinda mysterious
- Handles serious situations maturely
My Take on Anya’s Future
I personally think Anya might end up somewhere in between. Like, she’ll probably keep some of her goofiness (it’s just who she is!), but maybe tone it down a bit? Here’s what I’m thinking:
- She’ll definitely keep the iconic pink hair (it’s too perfect to change!)
- Might grow into a more balanced personality
- Will probably still use her telepathy powers, but more responsibly
- Could maintain her fun-loving spirit while gaining maturity
Why This Matters to Fans
As a huge Spy x Family fan, I think knowing about Ashe gives us something super exciting to look forward to! We might actually see Anya grow into this gorgeous, capable adult while keeping the quirks we all love about her.
Fun Fan Theories to Consider:
- Will she become a spy like Loid?
- Maybe an assassin like Yor?
- Or chart her own path entirely?
The Evolution of Anya’s Character Design
The way Tatsuya Endo has thought about Anya’s character development is pretty clever. He’s basically given us a before-and-after picture without actually doing it in the main story! Here’s what makes it special:
- Shows thoughtful character design evolution
- Maintains recognizable features
- Proves how much planning went into Spy x Family
- Gives fans something to look forward to
Final Thoughts
While we might have to wait years to see if Anya actually grows up to look like Ashe in Spy x Family, it’s super cool that we have this little peek into what might be! And tbh, whether she ends up looking exactly like Ashe or develops her own unique adult style, I’m just excited to see our favorite telepath grow up!
Quick Tips for Fans Following Anya’s Journey:
- Keep watching Spy x Family for potential growth hints
- Check out Rengoku no Ashe if you’re curious about Ashe
- Watch for any new character development in upcoming episodes
- Stay tuned for possible time-skip episodes!
What do you guys think? Would you love to see Anya grow up to look like Ashe? Or do you have a different vision for our favorite pink-haired telepath? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
P.S. – Whatever happens, I just hope she never loses her love for peanuts!
Note: All this speculation is based on comparing Endo’s previous work with Spy x Family. The actual adult version of Anya might end up looking completely different, but isn’t it fun to imagine?

Abilities and Skills
Telepathy: Anya is capable of reading the minds of other people and animals, her ability depicted as small sparks around her head. However, her abilities have their limits. Anya finds it difficult to understand complicated minds, such as Loids.[14] When she reads the minds of people with excessively strong emotions, like Yuri and Fiona, it causes a reaction similar to a heartburn.[15] She must also be within a certain distance of her target to read minds.[16]
Anyas involuntary use of her telepathic abilities made her a bit more aware of her surroundings. It enables her to see through Loids disguises, hear somebody being in danger,[17] and notice Yor sneaking into her school to give her the P.E. uniform.[18] It even helps her pick up on the enemies of her parents being nearby.[16]
Above Average Intelligence: Considering that Anya is actually a five-year-old child, she is still able to pass the Eden Academy exams, albeit barely, even though it is one of the best elite schools in the country. This could indicate that, although it may not seem like it, Anya is actually quite intelligent for a child her age.
Classical Language: Compared to her other subjects, Anya is mysteriously knowledgeable of classical language, which is considered advanced in todays society. Despite having barely learned the subject at school, as Loid notices she could have scored well on her test if she did not make so many spelling mistakes.[19]
After receiving tutoring from Sigmund Authen, Anya greatly improved on Classical Language and managed to get second place in the subject on her first final exam.
Resourcefulness: She is shown on numerous occasions to have a decent level of street smarts, saving both Loid and Yor from potential death using her resourcefulness and quick-thinking skills. From time to time, Anya has been able to trick Loid, despite his extremely observant skills and cautious attitude and use Yors protective nature to her advantage. She is also capable enough to design a trap and make a makeshift bomb, albeit with the knowledge of an aspiring assassin.
Basic Self-Defense: Anya has been taught by Yor some early basic self-defense. She is strong enough to send Damian flying several feet with a punch to the face.
Above Average Strength: Despite her size, Anya is capable of sending people who are slightly above her stature flying with a punch if angered. She was even capable of throwing one of Yors stilettos onto the roof deck despite its height.[20]
Special Moves
After getting kidnapped by thugs, Anya asks Yor to train her to be as strong as her so she can study hard and “not die” at school. Yor agrees and teaches Anya several special moves. Anya creates some of her own special moves as well.
| Special Move | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Killer Punch (必殺 パンチ, Hissatsu Panchi?) | One of the first moves taught to Anya by Yor during their training. The move is performed by striking a target with a quick and powerful punch. Anya used this move after Damian relentlessly bullied her.[21] Its power level is “300 Star Impact.”[22] | |
| Star Catcher Arrow (星を掴む (すたーきゃっち) 光の矢 (あろー) , Sutā Kyatchi Arō?, lit. Seize the Star) | This move was taught to Anya while training for her dodgeball game. Intended to be a knockout shot, this move requires putting ones whole body into the throw. Anya attempted to use this move at the climax of the dodgeball game, but failed when she instead threw the ball at the floor.[13] | |
| Rising Hope (希望を届ける (らいじいんぐ) 光の矢 (ほーぷ) , Raijingu Hōpu?, lit. Deliver My Aid) | This move is similar to Star Catcher Arrow in that it is also a throwing move. Anya used this move to throw Yors stiletto from the passenger deck to the roof deck on Princess Lorelei.[20] The move is used again during the Red Circus busjacking when Anya throws the S.O.S. message out of the bus.[23] | |
| Friendship Crash (なかよしくらっしゅ, Nakayoshi Kurasshu?) | Anya learns this move after Becky tries to help her and Damian become closer by teaching her a romance trope. The move is performed by Anya charging at her target with some bread in her mouth, then crashing into them. Anya attempted to use this move on Damian, but failed when he dodged it.[24] |
Eclipsing: In a phenomenon dubbed “Eclipsing” by the scientists at Anyas former laboratory,[25] Anyas telepathic abilities are temporarily disabled during the new moon.
General Skill: Anya is shown to be poor in a variety of skills, including studying, drawing, sports, and music. She often obtains single-digit scores for her tests and resorts to her telepathic abilities to get through classes and exams instead, refusing to study unless under Loids strict supervision and during her “Eclipsing.” Even when motivated to study during her midterm exams, she just barely passes. She tries to play a child-sized violin Loid buys her but causes the strings to snap with her bad playing.
Poor Grammatic: Anya has very poor grammatic skills. It is often that whenever she shows her personal notes to anyone, they cannot understand what she is writing, comparing it with a bunch of scrawls.
Poor Academics: Anya has low to sub-par abilities when it comes to academics, notably scoring very low in most of the tests she has taken at Eden Academy. She seems to have an over-reliance on her telepathy skills, especially when troubled, primarily using it to answer homework questions and sometimes cheat on tests. Her poor academics can be partially attributed to the advanced material she is studying, paired with her being younger than she claims to be.
Lack of Control Over Her Power: Anya is only able to control her telepathy at a small amount, which often leads Anya to unwillingly read every single thought of everyone around her.
Crowds: When Anya is exposed to huge crowds, she often tends to get dizzy or exhausted by uncontrollably reading most of the whole crowds minds, resulting in her suffering from nosebleeds. This is especially emphasized when the crowd has aggressive[26] or generally fearful thoughts[27][28], as these are apparently the first thoughts that alert Anyas powers.
Lack of Athletic Ability: Befitting her age, Anya is extremely poor when it comes to physical exercises, getting winded easily, having poor coordination and low strength, being unable to throw a ball properly despite Yors training, and her putting her full strength into it. This lack of ability has extended to various sports, including tennis, jump rope, swimming, and vaulting. Over time, her athletic ability has slightly improved, as Loid has reported to Sylvia that she can now jump over two vaulting boxes and jump rope five times in a row.[29] Her throwing ability appears to have also improved, as she was able to throw Yors stiletto from one floor to another.[20]
