Plot[]

Guitar Villain (27)

In a room at Le Grand Paris, Jagged Stone is playing a new piece on his on electric guitar before being greeted by his agent Penny Rolling and his manager Bob Roth. Jagged Stone asks for Bob's opinion, to which he replies that it's not bad. However, in order to increase Jagged Stone's popularity, Bob suggests recording a duet with the new number one star, XY. Jagged Stone immediately refuses, resulting in an argument with his manager. Jagged Stone says that Penny agrees his music is the best, while Bob retorts that he requires that Jagged Stone be on top of the sales. Jagged Stone then angrily shoves back Bob's suggestion of an album cover design, proclaiming it's not "him." Bob tells him this look is the one that is gaining popularity and insists he uses it. Jagged Stone argues back, and, remembering the sunglasses he is wearing were made by a high school student, requests that Bob asks her to design the album cover.

Bob enters Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie and requests that Marinette creates the album cover. He hands her XY's album to show her the style he wants. Marinette comments how the style is not Jagged Stone's style, but Bob insists she uses it as it is popular. Marinette eventually accepts the offer and her parents proudly hug her. In her room, Marinette is sketching the album cover while listening to XY's music, which she clearly dislikes. After a while, Marinette turns off the music in distress and complains about her distaste for XY's music, questioning why Jagged Stone would change his style and lamenting on her design. Tikki asks why Marinette designed it like that in the first place, to which she says she did as she was told. Tikki tells her to follow her instincts, but Marinette declines, saying she has to stick to Mr. Roth's expectations before complaining about the pressure. Tikki answers that Marinette should be able to handle pressure.

Guitar Villain (62)

Later, Marinette is before Jagged Stone, Penny, and Bob in Jagged Stone's room with her proposed cover. Disappointed, Jagged Stone tells her that he doesn't like it and it isn't his style and throws the design in disapproval. Marinette agrees before admitting it was Mr. Roth's request, but Jagged Stone requests she remakes the cover in his style. After some encouragement, she agrees and heads off to redo the album cover. Penny takes Marinette to the exit, encourages her to do better. Bob Roth calls out at them, only to be snapped at by Fang, much to his charging.

Guitar Villain (86)

After the others are gone, Jagged Stone is watching an interview with XY on TVi. The new pop star acts arrogant and foolish, claiming all music is related to technology to program what people expect, angering Jagged Stone. To make matters worse, XY completely aggravates Jagged Stone by describing him to Nadja Chamack as old, out of date and worthless. Jagged Stone becomes so furious, that he exasperatingly rages at XY, and in fit of rage, throws his tablet into Fang's mouth and starts aggressively playing his guitar to vent his frustration.

Hawk Moth senses Jagged Stone's frustration and sends an akuma after him and it possesses his guitar. Hawk Moth offers Jagged the chance to be the greatest artist of all time and seek revenge on XY, and akumatizes him into Guitar Villain, also akumatizing Fang into a dragon.

As Marinette thinks of an idea for the album cover, she meets Adrien outside. Before she can say Adrien's name correctly, Chloé shoves her aside and tells him that she organized a meeting with Jagged Stone for him. As they walk inside the hotel, Marinette realized that Adrien is a fan of Jagged Stone and decides to make the cover, this time with her own style.

Guitar Villain (126)

Inside the lobby, Chloé and Adrien encounter Guitar Villain and his dragon. Guitar Villain shoots purple energy waves from his guitar and causes two nearby people in the lobby to dance uncontrollably. Once the elevator doors behind Adrien and Chloé open, Adrien sets her inside. Once the doors close, Adrien then transforms himself into Cat Noir so he can stop Guitar Villain.

After Guitar Villain makes several citizens—in addition to several pigeons and cars—dance uncontrollably, Cat Noir arrives. Guitar Villain starts to fight him, using his orange energy wave which he calls "Shocking Riff". Marinette has seen the commotion, and she quickly transforms herself into Ladybug. She arrives just in time to save Cat Noir from being burned into ash by Dragon Fang.

Guitar Villain (202)

Dragon Fang flies away with Guitar Villain to the Eiffel Tower to start his revenge on XY. Once Guitar Villain gets to the Eiffel Tower, he punches what he believes to be XY, only to realize that he is actually a hologram. Guitar Villain then angrily asks Théo Barbot where the real XY is. After he first refuses to answer, Guitar Villain destroys the set around him with his "Awesome Solo" and Théo immediately tells him that XY is at the TVi studio. After Ladybug and Cat Noir follow and save Théo from dancing uncontrollably, Guitar Villain commands Dragon Fang to go to the studio.

Guitar Villain (258)

However, Ladybug immediately phones Nadja Chamack and warns her and everyone else in the studio that XY is in danger. By the time Guitar Villain gets into the studio and the recording room, XY has escaped outside with Alec. But when Cat Noir and Ladybug try to get him to safety, Guitar Villain and Dragon Fang swoop in and take XY to the Eiffel Tower. They follow them to the Eiffel Tower as night falls.

Guitar Villain (287)

At XY's concert, Guitar Villain has tied-up XY and is about to make him walk the plank on top of the Eiffel Tower. While Ladybug and Cat Noir are climbing up the Tower, he plays his guitar and green energy waves which he calls "Ultimate Solo" start to cause tremendous earthquakes around him. Once Guitar Villain stops playing, Ladybug uses her yo-yo as a grappling hook so she can pull herself and Cat Noir up faster. But Dragon Fang appears and pulls the string away, sends purple energy waves after them. Assuming that the akuma is inside the guitar and that it's too hard to get, Ladybug flies Dragon Fang into the top platform, and she and Cat Noir start climbing the Eiffel Tower again. At the same time, XY is about to fall because the plank under him is about to break.

Guitar Villain (387)

Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a can of extreme hold hairspray appears. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug asks Cat Noir to distract Guitar Villain while she climbs above them. Cat Noir is about to use his Cataclysm as a shield against Guitar Villain's "Shocking Riff", but fails. Luckily, Ladybug uses the hairspray to stiffen Guitar Villain's hair in front of his face, preventing him from being able to play his guitar. But before she destroys the guitar, Ladybug quickly saves XY from falling with her yo-yo. This ends up making him land on the guitar and break it, revealing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it. She then tosses the hairspray and cleanses the city, returning everything, including Jagged Stone and Fang, back to normal.

The next day, Marinette finally finishes the album cover for Jagged Stone. The latter is so impressed that he decides to use her drawing for his next album, much to Marinette's delight. Bob Roth tries to deny this, but Jagged Stone leaves it, much to Bob Roth's dismay. Later, Nadja Chamack announces that Jagged Stone's new album became the number 1 of sales, overthrowing XY on the ranking.

Guitar Villain (475)

At Collège Françoise Dupont, Adrien asks Marinette if she would sign an autograph for him. After she does, Chloé watches Adrien leave and starts chewing on a magazine of Jagged Stone out of jealousy. Marinette now declares to Alya that it's the best day of her entire life.

Trivia[]

  • Internationally, this episode first premiered in France.
  • This episode's name and the villain's name is a pun on "Guitar Hero", a title given to particularly virtuous guitarists (mainly rock or metal).[8]
  • When Guitar Villain calls Cat Noir: "Pussy Cat" which refers to Spike speaks to Tom in "Tom and Jerry"
  • The French name of this episode is "Guitar Vilain".
    • "Vilain" means "wicked" or "nasty" in French.
  • The events of this episode take place after "Pixelator", as Marinette makes the glasses and gives them to Jagged Stone in the latter episode.
  • The glasses Marinette mentions and the cover of Rock Giant she makes appear in "Marinette and Fashion".
  • Plagg does not appear outside the transformation sequence.
  • Hawk Moth does not urge Guitar Villain to take the Miraculouses after their deal is sealed.
  • After Ladybug catches the akuma, she says "Rock 'n Roll" instead of "Gotcha."
  • The Miraculouses' time limit is not mentioned, making it the second episode after "Stormy Weather" not to be mentioned it, and later being followed by "Furious Fu".
  • On the back cover of the magazine with Marinette and Jagged Stone, there is the same advertisement of Adrien that appears in "Dark Cupid".
    • The pose Marinette has on the front cover is the same as the one she has on the picture Ladybug sends to Cat Noir in "The Evillustrator".
  • The issue of Metal Lourd magazine in the final scene is dated April.
    • Because magazine articles are usually written at least three months before they are published, it is likely that most of the episode takes place in January or earlier.
    • Because magazines often hit the stand before the publication date on their cover, the final scene may take place in March or April.
Sandboy (419)

The usual pattern.

Guitar Villain (351)

The pattern without the spots.

  • Fang, as a dragon, is able to snap Cat Noir's staff with its jaws, but cannot free himself once Ladybug ties them shut with her yo-yo. Crocodiles indeed have very strong jaws when it comes to closing them, but once closed, they are much easier to keep that way.
  • One of the people Guitar Villain makes dance is Xavier Ramier, the man who was akumatized in Mr. Pigeon.
  • Adrien asked for two autographs in this episode, one from Jagged Stone and one from Marinette.
  • This is the only Season 1 episode to have a different Lucky Charm background, not having the spots on the sides.
  • As demonstrated by Cat Noir, the user of the Cat Miraculous can not only use their power to destroy anything they touch, but also as a means of self-defense. And this is the only episode in season 1 where it's done compared to how he usually uses it.
  • When the magic ladybugs are flowing through the hotel, Bob and the unnamed woman aren't seen being returned to normal.

Errors[]

GV (434)

An invisible vase.

  • Fang visible snaps the string of Ladybug's yo-yo, ending up with a snapped string. But she inexplicably still has it moments later to save herself from falling to her death. And then uses it to control fang.
  • After feeding Fang the tablet, Jagged Stone's boots turn white.
  • When Marinette is working on her first version of Jagged Stone’s new album she isn't seen wearing her purse. But after the scene shifts focus on XY's album for a few frames and returns to her, the purse suddenly appears.
  • After the second time Bob Roth is shown talking with a female interviewer, Adrien and Chloé disappear. They are shown again in the next scene.
  • Marinette's right pigtail clips her collar when she talks with Jagged Stone about the cover.
  • When Guitar Villain fires purple energy wave towards Bob Roth and the female interviewer, you can briefly see that a vase was supposed to be in front of it when the wave goes past it.
  • When Fang leaves Le Grand Paris as a dragon, its wings clip the pillars.
  • In the scene where Guitar Villain zaps the cars to make them dance, he doesn’t zap the white car, but it still starts dancing.
  • When Marinette speaks to Tikki in the elevator, her hair clips through her shoulders.
  • Alya's hair clips the bannister before she pats Marinette's head.
  • When Ladybug says "The akuma must be in his guitar", when Cat Noir says "How are we going to get to that" and when Ladybug says "Let's go backstage" a piece of Cat Noir's mask isn't connected to the rest of his mask.
GV (824)
  • As Guitar Villain fires orange energy toward Ladybug and Cat Noir while he said "AWESOME SOLO.", he fires the purple energy toward them.
  • When Guitar Villain grabs XY, it's more like XY grabs himself.
