    For better or worse, it's pretty unambiguous.

    The series is a comedy-adventure first and foremost. I wouldn't take this as serious as Black Lagoon, which itself has cartoony physics because it is playing after being a John Woo film. SPY x FAMILY is very much in line with Jump's usual fare of super-acrobatics treated as if they're normal.

    We don't see Twilight sinking in an ice bath after a fight like this is Atomic Blonde.

    It's probably most in line with something like of Gunsmith Cats, which in case anyone hasn't seen it or read it, includes scenes of throwing a child through a car to avoid hitting them, grenades that somehow don't kill, and a character deliberately catching bullets in the forehead because he wears a steel-backed bandana. Realistic? No. Entertaining? Yes.

    Spy x Family is described as a "cheerful spy action series." It shares a lot of tonal similarities with the Black Cat manga. People die very conclusively in this series when it serves the plot. Yor kills people with extreme efficiency much the same ways the Chronos members did.

    Yor is absurdly strong, and it is generally played for comedy. The whole series is intentionally such.

    I'm not really sure what else people are expecting. Did people want Keith to escape so that Sylvia can shoot him in the face?
