In the daytime, I'm Marinette.

Just a normal girl, with a normal life.

But there's something about me that no one knows yet.

Because I've got a secret.

Miraculous, simply the best

Up to the test when things go wrong

Miraculous, the luckiest

The power of love always so strong

Miraculous

Miraculous

"Pretension"



2pm, fencing class,

4pm meeting with your mother,

4:30pm Ikebana workshop--

If I get out of fencing class early enough--

--we'll have 4 minutes and 37 seconds left to spend with each other!

D'you think I should disguise myself?

In case your father comes to pick you up?

Not today.

I know he's too busy...

Besides, no one will tell him that we met!

Did no one ever tell you...

that stealing other's energy against their will...

isn't nice?

I told you!



No magic can heal this wound!

A Cat Noir cataclysm...

it can't be healed!

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HEALING?!

All I need is... time!

More time!

To seize Ladybug's and Cat Noir’s Miraculous!

Then I could wish for anything --

I could fix everything, save my wife,

You too, Natalie...

and save myself...

You're forgetting my part of the deal, Gabriel-san!

As always, you're losing yourself in sentimental trifles.

Our vision of the future is much bigger than that!

We are connected, as are our children!

They were made for each other, and I will not tolerate another glitch in our plan!

Whether it be Adrien's cousin --that Felix boy --

or this Marinette Dupain-Cheng who keeps lurking around your son.

My daughter's behavior is exemplary,

and I expect the same from your descendant!

I promise you I'm going to regain control over Adrien.

And seize ALL the Miraculous.

Ladybug's, Cat Noir's... and the Peacock!

As it turns out, Felix had the bright idea of leaving this behind during his last visit here...

Interesting.

YOU KNOW WHAT, ADRIEN?!

No more mustaches and four minutes and thirty seven seconds dates,

THAT’S OVER!

I've been doing some thinking, and we shouldn't have to hide!

Oh, hey Kagami, how are you?

Hello Marinette,

I'm fine, thank you!

I'm sorry, Marinette, it's my fault...

I just couldn't talk to my father...

NO!

DON'T APOLOGIZE!

It MAKES SENSE that you didn't make it work!

Because that's YOU!

I mean, not you, you, but you as in "NOT ME"!

Your dad doesn't have a problem with YOU anymore,

he's even become super cool, making you pancakes, giving you all the freedom you need...

He's come such a long way, and that's amazing!

But he does have a problem with ME!

He feels worried...

and I would be too, if I were him!!!

He thinks I'm one of those fans who follow you everywhere,

shower you with hand-knitted gifts

and know every single one of your middle name days...

Isn't that what you used to do, Marinette?

Yes... except no!

I mean yes!

But I was doing it out of love, and besides, I've changed a lot!

You're right.

Really, you think I've changed a lot?

No.

Well, not that much.

But you're right to want to talk to Adrien's father.

I too have been running away from my responsibilities for too long.

It is time I talked to my mother.

You kept me waiting, Kagami.

Four minutes and thirty-seven seconds goes by fast.

Once I've convinced your father,

we won't have to count the seconds anymore.

Everything's gonna be okay.

HELLO!

How are you?!

Everything's going to be okay, don't worry.

Maybe I should've warned your father beforehand, sent him a letter or a text or an email or...

You're right, Marinette.

My father has changed.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Yes.

Perfect timing, you two! It's snack time!

Dad, Marinette and I need to tell you something!

Of course, of course!

Marinette, are pancakes okay for you?

Uh... sure!?

Adrien, how was practice?

Great, dad!

His practice always goes great!

Adrien, you may leave us now, please.

I think Marinette and I will be more comfortable talking alone.

But... I'd rather stay here with Marinette...

Adrien, I'm your father,

and I am asking you to go up to your room.

I'm listening, dear Marinette!

Uh... well...

We came this close to having to endure another serving of pancakes!

Can't your father consider a change of menu?

I mean, if he really wants to cook, I have a recipe for a Roquefort tartiflette -

Plagg, I've got to go back down there!

I can't leave Marinette all alone!

Well go ahead then, what's stopping you?!

I can't...

I can't disobey my father!

Then stay here with me and relax!

What are you worried about?

And that's why I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding!

You're right Marinette,

there is a misunderstanding...

You see this pancake?

It's your future.

If it's not big enough for you, I can make it just the way you like.

Simply tell me what you want:

double pancake?

Triple pancake?

With jam? Maple syrup? Bananas?

All you have to do is ask,

and you'll have everything you wish for!

You know...

I remember the hat you created for Adrien.

You're talented.

And, with my support,

the daughter of the local bakers could become the world's greatest designer.

The perfect pancake awaits you!

The only thing you won’t be able to do with that pancake...

is share it with Adrien.

And to prove my point:

do you see him in this kitchen?

No.

He's not with you, and he never will be.

Because Adrien has a destiny,

and that destiny does not include sharing pancakes with you.

But...

N-no!

That can't be!

Adrien and I are in love and—

I don't think you understand, child.

So, let me put things differently.

Life is like fashion.

You think you have a choice, but all you have is the illusion of choice.

And I decide what choices are given to you..

YOU'RE WRONG!

Fashion is about listening to people!

It's about understanding who they are,

what excites them,

and creating the clothes that will help them express their inner world,

help them connect with others,

and make their dreams come true!

Haha, no.

That's not fashion.

That's making dresses for your dolls...

Fashion is about creating a way of thinking, a way of life.

...an industry that relies on an uninterrupted trend renewal

that forces you to either throw away everything you have and buy more,

or - worse! - to be "out of fashion"!!

Thanks to the clothes I create,

the celebrities who wear them,

the advertisements I design,

and lastly, the Alliance rings that broadcast them,

I create an idyllic vision -

a perfection -

that everyone aspires to achieve...

while keeping it just out of their grasp...

You finally understand the difference, don't you?

You listen to people's desires, and create what they want.

Somehow, people make you.

Whereas I create people's desires.

They buy what I decide they'll buy.

They think what I want them to think.

I'M the one who makes people!

You think you love Adrien,

but you're just under the spell of this world I've created.

A world where Adrien is a star, shining high above.

A world where you are just part of the crowd below, looking up at him.

That is why nothing can ever happen between you two.

The only choice I'm offering you is this:

either you eat this pancake and have everything, except Adrien.

Or you refuse the pancake and you'll have nothing...

Except your childish dreams.

So, will you take your pancake with maple syrup or jam?

I recommend jam.

Slightly bitter, but really delicious!

I...

I think I've lost my appetite.

NO!

I FORBID YOU!

Marinette!?

I love you Adrien.

I won't abandon you, ever!

Go get her!

Now!

I'll always be there for you.

You know what the problem is with your pancakes?

Way too much flour, not enough butter.

You’re using an old, completely outdated recipe.

No one likes them like that anymore.

And that's the good thing about being a baker's daughter:

I don't even need to try them to know that they're tasteless.

What have I done?

Which is why, Mother,

I don't want you thinking of me and Adrien as a couple anymore,

out of respect for Adrien's and my feelings,

and Marinette's as well.

What do you see here, Kagami?

Our family crest, and that crest dictates your behavior!

A duty.

If you’re not your own Master, then you’re already your own slave!

How can you ever be part of the Masters...

if you’re a slave to your own emotions?

Do we understand each other, Kagami?

No one should have to endure such words.

Sunroof activated!

Sunroof activated!

Sunroof activated!

Sunroof activated!

Felix is back.

It is time to recover the Miraculous of the Peacock.

Akumatize me.

Your wish is my command, Tsurugi-san.

Kaalki, your power is now mine!

Voyage' my megakuma!

MATAGI-GOZEN...

That monster Felix has endangered our children enough!

I am giving you the power to take back what was once ours

and stop him from doing anymore harm!

Let the power of my arrows put our descendants back on the straight path of their destiny!

Pollen, your power is now mine!

Transfer!

The essence of the Miraculous of action will give you the power of paralysis.

Orikko, your power is now mine!

To ensure our success, I am transferring the essence of the Miraculous of Pretension to you.

It will give you the ability to grant yourself...

the power of your choice!

Transfer!

Sublimation!

I am granting myself the power of a SUPER SENSE OF SMELL!

Now I can follow your trail, ARGOS!

Mullo, your power is now mine!

Transfer!

And finally, the essence of the Miraculous of Migration.

It will allow you to teleport anywhere.

Transfer!

Matagi-Gozens...

Seize Ladybug's, Cat Noir's and Argos's Miraculous.

Then our children will live happily ever after!

Well spoken.

Let go of me right now!

STOP!

I'm not your enemy!

I just want to talk to you!

Multitude!!

Look for him, his trail is bound to turn up somewhere!

Voyage!

What is it you want to tell me?

I...

I don't know!

But ever since I saw you...

I haven't been able to stop thinking about you!

I felt that you and I — we're the same!

...We have so much in common, and yet you're also so different!

I've never met someone like you!

We don't even know each other!!!

I know you...

I've been following you non-stop, and --

Even better!

You follow me, you spy on me...

and now you've kidnapped me so you could get to know me?!

Uh... yes!?

You are utterly incompetent at social relations.

You can't take someone away against their will!

Sorry...

I won't do it again.

I just wanted to protect you from your mother.

She can't talk to you like this.

I can't believe I stood up to Gabriel Agreste like that!

You were incredible, Marinette!

Tikki... Spots on!

I can't believe she had the courage to stand up to my father!

This girl really is no pushover!

Plagg... Claws out!

Argos must have transformed back.

It doesn't matter, we have a way to track down Felix, too.

Kagami, don't move!

I've come to save you from that good-for-nothing!

We've come to save you, Kagami!

I'm the one who's come to save you!

Duusuu, spread my feathers!

Felix abducted my daughter,

and you want to stop me from saving her!?

Whose side are you on, Ladybug and Cat Noir?

FOLLOW ME!

You will never escape us!

You take those two, kitty?

I'll take the other two...

...and Felix!

Teach him a lesson, M'Lady!

So this is what heroes do?

Not only did you help that monster escape...

...but now you're going to fight me,

a mother trying to save her daughter?

Hey, M'lady, when you think about it, they're not wrong...

We all want the same thing!

If we let them save Kagami...

We could seize the opportunity to get Felix's Miraculous back!

Too risky!

They're under Monarch’s influence!

Mrs. Tsurugi!

Reject the Megakuma and let us return your daughter safely back to you!

If you're not with me, you're against me!

Cataclysm!

Fleeing is the weapon of cowards...

And this staff is the weapon that will bring your downfall, Cat Noir!

We're about to lose him!

Claws in.

You know, if you leave me here, my mother will calm down.

She'll stop attacking you!

I’m not here to return you to your mother...

but to set you free from her!

I don't need you to set me free from anything.

I can very well set myself free!

If I were you, I wouldn't stick around.

She doesn't seem to like you!

You're not going anywhere, Kagami.

VENOM!!!

She doesn't seem to like you either!

My mother pretends to come to my rescue...

and then shoots arrows at me?

And you never met my father.

He was a thousand times worse.

But... Don't you need it to fight?!

Fighting is no longer my priority.

All I care about is your safety.

No, impossible.

NO!

NO!

NO!

Fall my feathers.

Plagg... Claws out!

I don't understand...

You have the Miraculous of the Peacock,

why don't you create a Sentimonster to get us out of here?

First of all, don't call them that.

I refuse to create a being only to manipulate them,

control them,

abuse them...

and end up destroying them.

I found Kagami and Felix...

Felix has transformed back, now's the time!

When you bring a living being into this world,

you have a responsibility towards them.

Your duty is to protect them,

love them,

help them discover their own meaning to their existence...

To deprive them of that is monstrous.

Are you talking about...

...yourself?

I'm talking about us.

FELIX!!!

SET KAGAMI FREE!!

And this time you're going to give us back the Miraculous of the Peacock!

I am nobody's prisoner!

Felix is not your enemy!

He's like me.

He doesn't know how to express himself...

Everyone is wrong about him!

Including me.

Do you... understand what's going on?

I'm not sure of anything anymore, Kitty!

And now... you're going to give me back my daughter...

and relinquish all your Miraculous!!!

Kagami!

Take this.

I'm counting on you!

Now is a time to trust Felix!

WE'LL COVER YOU!

Trust them.

Duusuu, spread my feathers!

KAGAMI! YOU'RE UP!

No more evil-doing for you, Megakuma!

Time to de-evilize!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Miraculous Ladybug!

Mrs. Tsurugi,

this Magical Charm will remind you that, in case of a problem, Monarch will never be a good ally.

You can, however, always count on us.

Pound it!

Pound it!

We let him get away with the Miraculous of the Peacock...

I hope we won't regret it.

How could we fail? Our plan was perfect!

It was your pretension that was our undoing, Tsurugi San.

How... dare you?!

Despite what you claimed,

your daughter is not under your control.

She's the reason we failed.

Mother.

I can no longer accept your dictating my behavior.

To follow one's heart is not a weakness!

I was wrong about you.

You are weak, controlled by your feelings.

You are not up to our family's ambitions!

But I will not let you add humiliation to the disappointment you already are to me...

And if I have to force you into obedience for that, then I will.

You're no longer worthy of our family crest.

All things considered...

I understand why you like that Marinette Dupain Cheng so much!

You do!?

She really is an incredible young lady...

Such passion.

Such determination...

Enjoy your time with her, my son.

Those are precious moments, creating memories you will cherish deeply...

when you're in London next year.

May I go up to my room?

I think I've lost my appetite.

But of course Adrien.

You're free.

You really want to send him to London?!

It's for his own good.

And I don't know who could stop me.

What you did today with my father was heroic.

I wish I had your courage.

I'll always love you, you know.

Adrien... is everything all right?

Of course everything's all right.

Good night, Marinette.

Good night, Adrien.

Of course?!

Of course?!

NOT "OF COURSE"!

Nothing's all right AT ALL, that’s for sure!

How are you going to be Cat Noir if you're in London?!

And Marinette...

how are you going to be together if you're not together?!

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!

I don't know, Plagg...

but I hope we’ll figure it out.

Were you followed?

My mother thinks I'm at Ikebana class.

The ring you gave your mother was a fake.

This is the real one.

How is this possible?

The last of the Tsurugis isn't your mother --

it's you.

The rules of your family no longer have to be those created by your ancestors...

From now on, they’re yours to make.
