Mission: Yozakura Family – Episode 11 Recap

The 11th episode of Yozakura Family’s mission kicks off with Futaba dedicating her time to teaching Taiyo how to improve his reflexes. After an intense training session, they make their way back to the mansion, where they are greeted by Mutsumi Yozakura. While tidying up, Mutsumi discovers an album and starts reminiscing as she flips through the pages.

Evidently, the album showcases photographs from the period when Nanao successfully obtained his Spy License. Taiyo, unaware of this examination, inquires about it. Futaba clarifies that a Spy License is comparable to a membership card provided by the Spy Association.

The test is conducted annually and successfully passing it earns a spy not only their license, but also various perks. As revealed in Mission: Yozakura Family episode 11, the Spy License has different levels, ranging from Bronze to Gold.

As one ascends to a higher rank, the rewards and benefits also increase. Futaba proudly announces that she holds a gold-ranked license. After discovering the existence of the Spy License, Taiyo expresses interest in taking the test.

Upon appearing at the scene, Kyoichiro informs Taiyo that he is eligible to take the test. However, he also cautions him that all members of the Yozakura family have successfully passed the test on their initial attempt, and he does not want Taiyo to bring shame upon their family name.

Continuing on, episode 11 of Mission: Yozakura Family turns its attention to Shion’s room where Ayaka Kirisaki is shown in tears after accidentally causing a glitch in Shion’s computer system.

Despite being able to easily defeat zombies and demons, Futaba’s fear of ghosts and curses is revealed in the episode. Her Aikido skills are ineffective against these entities, causing her to shiver at the mere thought of them.

Mutsumi and the rest of the group disclose that Futaba needs to be looked after whenever she becomes frightened. As seen in Mission: Yozakura Family episode 11, the siblings take care of Futaba until she overcomes her fears.

At night, Mutsumi reads the story of Momotaro to help Futaba fall asleep. However, Mutsumi Yozakura falls asleep after reading only two lines, and Taiyo steps in to finish the story. Futaba expresses gratitude to Taiyo and wishes him luck on the Spy License test.

The tenth episode of Mission: Yozakura Family centers around the Spy License exam, in which Taiyo competes against other candidates. Mutsumi supports him as he successfully passes the initial round.

Following the initial round, Taiyo makes his way back to the lounge where he is unexpectedly targeted by a candidate seeking to claim the bounty on his head. Fortunately, a blonde-haired spy steps in to defend Taiyo and reveals his true feelings of love for him.

Mutsumi discloses that the individual in question is Tsukiyo Hoshifuru, also known as a “womanizer,”who enjoys flirting with people regardless of their age or gender. Taiyo becomes irritated by his comments and actions, but does his best to ignore him.

Eventually, Taiyo, Tsukiyo, and the rest of the group make it to the final test, which requires them to obtain the Spy License before the venue collapses. The atmosphere at the exam becomes chaotic as the ground starts to crumble beneath them.

Despite one of the candidates pushing Taiyo aside in a bid to overtake him in the race, the ground beneath Taiyo unexpectedly gives way. In a split second, Tsukiyo comes to Taiyo’s rescue by using his fan to propel him to safety, but unfortunately, this act results in Tsukiyo being disqualified.

Despite this, Taiyo Asano firmly grasps Tsukiyo’s hands, preventing him from falling. In episode 11 of Mission: Yozakura Family, the spy can be seen using his fan to soar through the air and land safely in a designated area.

Upon disclosing his true identity as the exam proctor, Tsukiyo explains to Taiyo that a spy must possess humanity, a quality which was demonstrated through his recent compassionate action, unlike the other candidate who had failed to do so.

In the conclusion of Mission: Yozakura Family episode 11, Taiyo is declared the winner and praised for successfully passing the Spy License exam. The episode ends on a cheerful tone as Tsukiyo admits that he still has feelings for Taiyo.
