| ~ Billy Squire explaining the Red Circus' downfall into terrorism to Henry Henderson |
The Red Circus are major antagonists in the Spy × Family series. They serve as the overarching antagonists of the Extra Mission 2 from the Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc and the titular main antagonists of the Red Circus Arc.
They were a former student organization in Ostania, until the SSS started cracking down on their protests, causing them to devolve into a terrorist group.
History[]
Background[]
The Red Circus was originally founded by Ostanian college students demanding greater freedom. Biddy Squire became a member despite the objections of her father Billy Squire, wanting a better future for Ostania. After a few days, the SSS opened fire on the peaceful student demonstrations, killing Biddy and several others. This event led Billy into madness, as he took over the remnants of the Red Circus and re-organized it.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc[]
After the Red Circus falls to terrorism, the Garden sends Yor Forger to clean them out. She defeats them without any trouble, despite being injured in her butt.
However, it later turns out that Yor had overlooked a member, who saw her during her date with Loid. Despite all his efforts to kill Yor, he eventually gives up after failing two times in a row.
Red Circus Arc[]
Billy Squire hijacks two of Eden Academy's school buses to rescue the imprisoned members, promising the police that he will release 5 students for each member released.
Meanwhile, Anya, who reads Billy's mind, witnesses his memories with his daughter. Using these, he manages to get into Billy's heart, and eventually convinces Billy to surrender.
Angered by Billy's surrender, Vadim tries to escape using Anya, but is stopped by Martha Marriott with a taser. And the Red Circus is completely disbanded.

Trivia[]
- Beffiting the Cold War theme of the series, the Red Circus' origins is a nod to the various left-leaning political student movements that occurred around the world during that period, usually in nations that were living under the several dictatorships funded by the United States government at the time.
- Although not explicitly stated, it's heavily implied that the Red Circus is a communist organization, as they are described as a "far left group" who have an ideology centered on equality and a disdain for the upper class of Ostania. The "Red" in their name could also be a nod to how the color was adopted by various communist and socialist movements throughout history, most notably the russian Bolsheviks, as part of their iconography.
- This would also be somewhat ironic, considering Ostania is based off the real life East Germany, which already was a socialist nation.
