Extra Mission 2

After wiping out an armed cell of the Red Circus terrorist group, Yor lets her guard down during a phone call and takes a bullet in the rear from a survivor she missed. She limps home with groceries, and her agonized expression convinces Loid she is furious with him, a misunderstanding he resolves to fix for Operation Strix's sake. The next morning her scowl is even worse, so Loid proposes a date. Remembering coworkers teasing her about never going on one, Yor accepts to better play a married woman, while Anya is left behind with a reluctant Franky, bought off with a cheque.

Loid has 862 date scenarios prepared, but Yor's refusal to sit, walking beats riding in her condition, eliminates 794 of them on the spot. Anya, worried her family might fall apart, convinces Franky to tail the couple in disguise; Loid clocks them in seconds and pretends otherwise. Stop after stop fails: tight pants would press the wound, and the cinema, club, zoo, spa, and pond all founder on her inability to sit or relax. Both spiral, Yor from pain and Loid from mounting despair at his uncheerable wife.

Dinner brings real danger. The sole surviving Red Circus member happens to wait tables at the upscale restaurant Loid chooses, recognizes the "Thorn Princess," and doses her cocktail with blowfish toxin. Anya catches his thoughts, panics that an exposed Yor would mean divorce and abandonment, and has Franky sneak her through the vents. She arrives too late, but Yor's freakish poison tolerance turns the toxin into a blessing: it numbs her wound completely and restores her cheer. The waiter's fallback plan, an improvised bomb, ends with him slipping on olive oil and getting blasted by his own peanut-based device, after which a spy-suited Anya materializes, threatens him into leaving Yor alone, and tells him to treat his girlfriend Catherine well. He faints, resolving to go straight. The couple end the night happily gazing over the city, Yor hoping for another date sometime. Come morning the numbness wears off, and Loid faces her pained scowl all over again, none the wiser.

Yor survives a revenge shooting by a Red Circus remnant but conceals the injury, setting up the chapter's central misunderstanding. Loid stages an elaborate date to placate her while Anya and Franky shadow the couple in disguise. The surviving terrorist, working as a waiter, poisons Yor's martini with blowfish toxin, which her poison immunity converts into painkilling relief.

Anya covertly neutralizes the waiter's bomb plot and scares him into abandoning revenge entirely. The date ends warmly with Yor asking for a repeat, though the returning pain restores Loid's confusion the following day. The Red Circus survivor debuts here.

Published in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue #47 of 2019 and reprinted on Shōnen Jump+ in November 2020, this special is numbered Chapter 15.1 and collected in Volume 3. Episode 26 adapts it. Endo originally planned a closing gag built around one of Franky's inventions but cut it for page count, and Anya's walking-away pose near the end deliberately mirrors Loid's from Chapter 1. The Volume 3 printing adds shading around Loid's eyes in one panel that the digital release lacked.
