Plot

Multiplication (14)

At sunset, on the rooftops of the Jardins du Trocadéro, Ladybug watches a live TVi channel broadcast on her yoyo about the heroes being defeated by Shadow Moth in "Strikeback". Ladybug zooms in on Flairmidable from a recording to show it to Cat Noir, mentioning that although she thought she had given Adrien the Dog Miraculous, she did not know it was actually Félix. While Ladybug goes on the internet to search for more information about Félix, a furious Su-Han appears, accusing Ladybug for failing as a Guardian for losing all the Miraculous.

Multiplication (70)

In his lair, Monarch de-transforms back to his civilian self. He tells the helplessly terrified Kwamis that Fluff is in the possession of Bunnyx, but assures them that he still has plans in store for the rest of them. Meanwhile, Ladybug and Cat Noir argue back against Su-Han, accusing him of not trusting them enough. This causes Su-Han to breakdown and apologize, as him being distracted by what the modern world has to offer has caused him to fail guiding the duo. Ladybug assures him that everyone makes mistakes, but Su-Han decides to head back to the temple to get reinforcements. Ladybug and Cat Noir decide to track down Félix by eating their space power-ups, transforming into Cosmobug and Astrocat respectively. Whilst travelling, Cosmobug visits Félix's Wikipage to find out more info about him; as it turns out, he was the son of an American billionaire named Colt Fathom. In the evening, they enter Félix's apartment in London and speak to his mother, Amelie Graham de Vanily, about her son's whereabouts. Amelie claims that her son was not home when she woke up because Félix was supposed to go to Adrien's house, but she thanks the heroes for their help. As they are about to go back to Paris, Cosmobug asks Astrocat if he thinks Félix could have been a victim of Monarch, and Astrocat replies that he is uncertain. A crestfallen Cosmobug says Félix was their only lead on getting back the Miraculous.

Multiplication (98)

In Paris, Cosmobug de-transforms back into Marinette in the sewers and gives Tikki a macaroon and goes back to her room, having memories of the Kwamis roaming around her room. She sadly puts her sewing box with the Miracle Box inside away in her chest drawer; after giving Tikki a reassuring smile, she eventually calls Alya to invite her over for a sleepover. Astrocat de-transforms into Adrien in his bathroom, giving Plagg a piece of cheese, then has an envisioned memory of Félix telling him that they were going to dress up as each other like they did when they were younger. Adrien, realizing that he should've taken Marinette's advice of standing up to his father instead of agreeing with Félix, goes to Gabriel's atelier to tell Gabriel that he doesn't want to be a model anymore firmly. Gabriel, despite being busy, accepts this with no worry whatsoever, causing a disbelieved Adrien to leave him be.

Multiplication (175)

During their sleepover, Marinette tells Alya about everything that had happen, and Alya tries to reassure her but Marinette believes this is all her fault, declaring she will have to try to stop loving Adrien because he distracts her from doing her duty, and she has to stop now more than ever. Just then, Adrien suddenly video calls Marinette, who is afraid of answering, so Alya picks up the phone instead. Marinette tells Alya to tell Adrien that she is not there, but when Adrien informs Alya that his father let him stop being a model, an overjoyed Marinette grabs the phone to congratulate him. The call ends with Adrien admitting that he really appreciates everything Marinette has done for him ever since he started school. Before he goes to bed, Adrien realizes how special Marinette truly is. Later, Gabriel looks out from his office window and sees that Nathalie has returned from the train, although they do not directly interact with each other due to their fallout. Shortly after, Nathalie goes to check on Adrien, who is already fast asleep. Grinning at him, she walks out of his room.

Multiplication (201)

The next day at Collège Françoise Dupont, Alim Kubdel comes to Miss Bustier's class to announce that Ladybug had authorized him to say that his daughter Alix has been chosen to be Bunnyx; she will be travelling back in time to protect her Miraculous, and she will return once Monarch is defeated. An evidently pregnant Miss Bustier assures everyone that not everyone needs to be a superhero to support Ladybug and Cat Noir in these hard times, but Mylène expresses her fear of Monarch, and even Max states that Monarch has 78.95% of the Miraculous and it's unknown if he is going to win. Ivan promises to protect Mylène, and that she can get past her fears by doing Yoga. However, Chloé argues that because Ladybug and Cat Noir won't give up their Miraculous already, they're putting everyone in danger, and that she could've helped them if she was still Queen Bee, but Lila dejects this, mentioning that everyone makes mistakes, and the young Ladybug, who has many burdens and responsibilities, should be forgiven for hers. The entire class agrees to support Ladybug.

Multiplication (256)

A montage showcases the events of the next few weeks: to resist Monarch's reign, Mylène teaches her own yoga class, Nora teaches Alya and Nino how to defend for themselves, and Ladybug and Cat Noir do various patrols. However, disinterest increasingly grows as no akumatization occurs; less and less people attend the yoga class, with only Ivan eventually being the only person to attend; Nora and her standees play video games instead; Ladybug and Cat Noir even pass their patrol times with card games. During all of this, Adrien grows more affectionate towards Marinette, attempting to kiss her whenever they meet at school; Marinette, still trying to grow out of her crush on Adrien, rejects these kissing attempts through offering handshakes, irritating Alya and Nino. Meanwhile, Adrien grows suspicious of his father seemingly allying closer with Tomoe Tsurugi. In an unknown tech scanning place, Gabriel handles an operation in which Adrien and Lila take turns standing in the middle of the room, lifting their arms for a the scanning machine to process them.

Multiplication (274)

A few days later, when Adrien tries to kiss Marinette again with Alya's help this time, Ikari Gozen appears at Françoise Dupont, claiming she wants to destroy the old Paris and create a brand new city. Marinette and Adrien hide in an alleyway and metro station respectively to transform. Marinette, who is still shaken from her losing the Miraculous, is motivated by Alya and later Tikki, with Tikki assuring her not to let doubt get to her.

Multiplication (388)

Ladybug and Cat Noir begin to battle against Ikari Gozen, to no success. On the rooftops, Ladybug tells Cat Noir that only his Cataclysm can destroy Ikari Gozen's akumatized object - her sword - but Cat Noir can't reach her because she is too fast. Unexpectedly, Ikari Gozen uses the power of Multitude to multiply herself into twelve clones to fight Ladybug and Cat Noir. Now jokingly dubbed "Ikari Dozen", she continues to destroy countless buildings and even the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug deduces that Ikari Gozen must have the Mouse Miraculous, and the duo aim to get that Miraculous back next. Summoning her Lucky Charm, Ladybug gets a fishing rod. She lures the clones to the school, where Ikari Gozen thrusts her sword into a window, causing it get stuck in a room. Cat Noir Cataclysms the sword; it gets destroyed, releasing the Megakuma, which Ladybug captures and purifies. When Tomoe is deakumatized, Ladybug and Cat Noir ask her if she has the Mouse Miraculous, but as it turns out, she does not.

Multiplication (456)

As she and Cat Noir are about to detransform, Ladybug restores the damage with her Miraculous Ladybug, and gives Tomoe a Magical Charm. While driving away in Tatsu, Tomoe, via a smartring, tells Gabriel that "the prototype worked". At a tech conference, Gabriel makes an announcement of his latest creation: smartrings called Alliance. As it turns out, Adrien and Lila are the rings' virtual assisstants; this was the reason why Gabriel had scanned them, to effectively relieve Adrien of his modelling career. The rings also include akuma alerts created by Tomoe. Adrien, Gabriel, Lila, and Tomoe are congratulated onstage for their participations.

Multiplication (498)

In a post end card scene, in their home in London, Amelie knocks on a bedroom door to tell someone that it is tea time: said person is Félix. Amelie assures Félix not to worry, claiming she'll protect him from those who think he is a villain. After his mother leaves, Félix wears the Peacock Miraculous and Duusu appears, asking where Nathalie is, and Félix if he is his new holder. Félix claims he is much more than that.

Trivia

  • Internationally, this episode premiered in Brazil on Gloob.
  • The episode shares its name with the concept of the Mouse Miraculous.
    • Mylene Harpele, as the current holder of the Mouse Miraculous she is held back by many fears but that equally measures her process for many ideas.
    • Besides its power, it also means multiplying the skill or process of something.
      • Several people came up with multiple ways to deal with Monarch's threats.
      • When selling the Alliance ring, it had digitized versions of Adrien and Lila.
        • This also allowed Adrien to have more free time since he is no longer a model and as a way for Gabriel to keep up appearances.
      • Over time the Order of the Guardians developed Mirakung Fu technique to subdue rogue Miraculous holders.
    • In mathematics, multiplication can also be interpreted of the process of combining matrices, vectors, or other quantities under specific rules to obtain their product.
      • Tomoe tested a prototype of the Alliance ring, allowing Gabriel to go through selling the products to he can give his akumatize victims Miraculous powers.
    • The powers of Multiplication remind us that we are never alone, its wise to get or need things from many sources not just one, as well as other problems.
      • When Emilie passed away, Gabriel let no other love enter his heart while Adrien let many in his friends, the kwamis and the love he shared with his people.
      • Marinette wasn't the only one getting bullied by Chloe everyone was except Socqueline, as she was only one to stand up to her and yet she didn't rally anyone else to do it likely because Socqueline knew the real problem because it wasn't her that needed to stand up to Chloe everyone else did especially Marinette which came true in "Origins" and "Revolution".
      • In "Risk", Gabriel believed that Marinette's cautiousness was the only reason behind her constant winning when it was more than just that in a way she was everything he wasn't.
      • With so many outcomes or details sometimes it's impossible to remember every single one meaning if a detail is forgotten it can led into trouble as Gabriel and Nathalie were so sure the Rabbit's Watch could fix everything but due it's nature it's the most dangerous.
      • With so many to choose from it can be impossible or overwhelming for someone to decide like the Guardians and the Miraculouses despite them finding the right jewel it can be hard to find the right person especially in a city of many.
      • By Monarch in "Evolution", for every miraculous he fused his strength grew weaker.
      • As shown by Marinette and other holders, a single person must fulfill many roles when being a holder: besides just being a fighter or a superhero, they must also be a protector, a guide, caretaker, diplomat and more.
      • The power of Multiplication works best when scattered or separated involving a lot of space but numbers won't mean anything if we're all put in one place.
    • Sometimes how multiplication can only cause previous problems to get bigger, making the situations harder to control.
      • Such as the problem with akumas if the original one isn't caught then it multiplies, and creates multiple copies of an akumatized villain, as shown in "Origins".
      • In "Sapotis", the titular villain multiplied very time they ate causing millions to appear to the point where it overwhelmed the heroes.
      • When Marinette became the guardian as of "Miracle Queen", the care of the kwamis multiplied from one to sixteen, dealing with the pressure of taking care of so many at once at first.
      • With Felix's betrayal in "Strikeback", Ladybug and Cat Noir's problem of rescuing the kwamis multiplied from two to fifteen.
      • Because of Monarch's relentless hunting, he caused Marinette's fear to multiply leading to her pushing everyone away, including Cat Noir, but it backfired, making everything worse.
      • By preventing Adrien from not telling Marinette about the Diamonds Dance, Gabriel forgot that his son wasn't the only one with the knowledge nor the messenger.
      • How someone's lies like Lila's can spread far and fast in "Revelation".
      • In "Action", when it came to group's effort dealing with plastic pollution.
      • Everyone's actions with the miraculouses caused big problems in Paris.
    • How we should be thankful for the little things we get and not get greedy for more nor have they or others takeover.
      • Like Chloe and the little time she had as Queen Bee but she didn't want it to end.
      • Gabriel should've appreciative of the little time he and with Emilie instead of trying to take more.
      • Socqueline tried to remind Marinette to be confident against Chloe but she found it easier for Socqueline to do it for her.
    • The meaning also has a different definition of having or involving numerous factors, outcomes, and choices, yet also mean they might repeat their actions and live through the same situations or mistakes again.
      • Gabriel akumatized numerous people with different powers sent out to capture Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous, yet the duo came up with varied solutions to deal with them.
      • Due to Gabriel's threat, Ladybug and Cat Noir's team grew with more miraculous holders.
      • Marinette tried various attempts to tell Adrien she loves him, to where Adrien, as Cat Noir, tried numerous to tell Ladybug he loves her.
      • Chloé bullied people in so many ways possible.
        • After losing the Bee Miraculous, she kept complaining her status as Queen Bee would be better.
      • In this episode, after realizing his feelings for Marinette, Adrien tried multiple ways to kiss her but Marinette came up with many excuses.
      • In "Catalyst (Heroes' Day - Part 1)" and "Ladybug", Gabriel, as Scarlet Moth, akumatized multiple people at once.
      • This is similar to time travel, the Rabbit Miraculous and one of the many reasons why it's hardly ever used because the ways of time isn't limited to one outcome but many.
      • Such as like Tikki explaining the importance of capturing the akuma in "Origins" after Marinette failed to catch it likely came from when one of her previous owners failed too.
      • Even though Felix in "Emotion" didn't realize it, he put Ladybug in the same situation they were in "Strikeback".
      • Like in "Simon Says", "Hack-San" and other situations where the same thing wasn't repeated twice.
      • In "Destruction", when Gabriel demanded Orikko to give him the powers he wanted the kwami politely refused knowing it happened before.
        • Like how Ladybug and the guardians thought of precautions in case they were on the verge of being discovered.
    • Also, the Mouse Miraculous represents not to underestimate anything or anyone that is small, how wise it's not to give in to insecurities because you are/feel small and how something of that stature can lead to great good, but also to great evil.
      • A good indicator to show the potential of the Miraculous depending on who they're being used and how they are used.
      • When it comes to the kwamis, despite being very small, using their own power without a holder always comes with magical and disastrous consequences, previously mentioned and/or shown in "Style Queen", "Truth", "Gang of Secrets", "Sole Crusher", "Optigami", "Dearest Family", "Ephemeral", and "Deflagration".
      • People purchased the alliance rings for protection and for easier functionality in their lives, yet little did they understand their true intentions was to hunt down not just Ladybug and Cat Noir for their jewels but anyone, and by the duo discovering that the akumatized villains are able to use the Miraculous superpowers stolen by Monarch, and with no way of knowing how or retrieving the actual Miraculous back, they realized that Monarch was stepping up his game.
      • Like with Gabriel and Nathalie choosing to do the wrong things they did, the consequences they would eventually have to own up to only ended up multiplying to the point of irreversible damage, with Gabriel's cataclysmed arm and Nathalie's sickness from her continuous use of the damaged Peacock Miraculous.
        • It also added up the problems to and for everyone else.
      • When Gabriel was so desperate in "Risk" to defeat Ladybug that he forced her and everyone else into being risky without anyone noticing as Ladybug said in "Simpleman" that even the most simplest of powers can be dangerous.
        • As well as it took a group of children to save the day.
      • How the events of "Cat Blanc", were caused by simply Ladybug dropping a gift for Adrien in her hero form.
      • From "Gigantitan", "Glaciator", "Stoneheart", "Horrificator" and others Ladybug, Cat Noir and the team had to deal with opponents that were bigger than them.
      • "Despair Bear" and "Robostus" where the heroes had to defeat a villain who were small, but caused big trouble.
      • When Cat Noir summoned Cataclysm in the titular episode to keep Anansi from getting his ring, it was never considered by her or Hawk Moth to use an object as a way to use up his superpower.
      • Had Gabriel told the truth in the first place, then so many things never would've happened because of him.
      • Adrien felt so small due to his home-life that when he became Cat Noir, he felt like he mattered and someone cared about him, he gained everything he couldn't at home but when Ladybug became the guardian and relied on the others more, he felt small again to the point where he gave up his powers in "Kuro Neko" and he grew desperate to get what he wanted back in "Strikeback".
      • Gabriel's world perspective seemed so small just to make himself feel big.
      • How both Chloé and Adrien were dealing with similar problems in their past but the details of them both were small but different.
      • Before Shadybug and Claw Noir reformed, Betterfly was the only hero in his world fighting to make the biggest difference.
      • Like in "Lady Wifi", "Antibug", "Reverser", "Silencer" and other episodes and situations so many akumatizations and problems couldn't been prevented if people did things that were small.
  • This is the second time Tomoe gets akumatized following "Ikari Gozen", this time however into Ikari Dozen, a new variation of Ikari Gozen.
  • This episode shows the normal transformation sequences of Ladybug and Cat Noir for the first time in Season 5.
    • This is also the first time both transformations appear in the same episode since "Psycomedian".
    • This is the first time Ladybug's normal transformation sequence has been seen since "Queen Banana".
    • This is the first time Cat Noir's normal transformation sequence has been seen since "Rocketear".
  • It's revealed that both Marinette and Adrien feel guilty over what happened in "Risk" and "Strikeback":
    • Marinette for letting her love obsession with Adrien getting out of hand, which led to the kwamis' capture.
    • Adrien upon realizing that he should've fought for what he wanted himself instead of relying on someone else.
      • As their alteregos they fell for the love trick being blinded by their desires for their loved ones.
  • This episode contains flashbacks to previous episodes' events, from "Gamer", "Style Queen", "Gorizilla" and "The Puppeteer 2".
    • The "Puppeteer 2" flashback reveals that Marinette is indeed aware of the mistakes in her love life.
  • This is the fourth appearance of Su-Han after "Furious Fu", "Ephemeral" and "Strikeback".
  • Some details can be detected from the article about Félix on the Wikipedia copy shown on Ladybug's yo-yo:
    • The image of Félix is this wiki's header image of Félix when this episode was still in production.
    • The family tree on that site is almost identical to the Agreste family tree as seen on this wiki. It is unknown if this is a deliberate nod to this site or not.
    • According to it, he is a triple medalist in kung fu and horsemanship, a chess prodigy, and the youngest to graduate high school in England.
    • The words on the Wikipedia copy are also backwards. Once translated backwards, they identify as the English words Born, Nationality, Family and Activity.
  • The first half of this episode occurs on the same day as most of "Risk" and the total duration of "Strikeback" and "Evolution".
    • This holds the record for most episodes happening during the same day, being four.
    • The vision callbacks of Marinette and Félix in Risk were reused and reanimated.
  • Before Su-Han arrives, Ladybug mentions they should use "hyper speed", which possibly suggests one of the Miraculous potions grants speed powers.
  • It's revealed that Su-Han didn't help Marinette with her duty as Guardian because he let himself be distracted by the modern world.
    • The phone he shows as evidence shows what appears to be a parody of TikTok.
      • Since Su-Han has a phone it's unknown if he ever got Marinette's phone number.
    • It's revealed that it has been four months since the events of "Furious Fu".
      • Furthermore, this reveals that the events of season 4 have occurred within four or so months.
  • It's revealed that Félix's last name is Fathom, and that his father was Colt Fathom, an American billionaire.
    • It's also revealed that Colt Fathom died in the previous year, making it the first time death is explicitly mentioned in the show.
  • It's revealed that the Graham de Vanily family is part of the British aristocracy, with Amelie having the noble title of "Lady".
    • Since Emilie is also part of the Graham de Vanily family, it's possible she also held the title of "Lady" like her sister.
  • This is the eighth episode that partially takes place outside of Paris, after "Miraculous Shanghai", "Startrain", and "Miraculous New York", and will be continued with the upcoming "Miraculous London", "Miraculous Rio", "Miraculous Dakar", and "Miraculous Tokyo".
  • Despite Amelie telling Ladybug and Cat Noir that she doesn't know where her son is at the beginning of the episode, it's revealed in the post-endcard scene that she lied to them; Félix had returned home, yet she was doing her best to protect her son from the superheroes who think he is a villain.
    • Due to her being unaware that Cat Noir is Adrien, she technically lied right in front of her own nephew.
    • Her naivety was similar to Shifu's from Kung Fu Panda as both were blind from what their love for their children was turning them into.
      • She acted just like her brother-in-law and Tomoe condemning their children in situations or consequences most parents should never put their children.
  • Adrien finally tells his father that he doesn't want to be a model anymore, concluding a mini arc established in "Wishmaker" and "Risk".
    • Despite the fact that Gabriel had allowed his son to stop being a model, he continues using the latter's image for his commercials and creations, having digitized Adrien.
    • This means Marinette's friend group finally realize that she was right about what she said about Adrien's feelings on being a model.
  • Adrien starts to realize how special Marinette is to him.
  • Nathalie returns to the Agreste mansion, but it's unknown if she still lives there or works for Gabriel. But having in consideration her absence during the time skip, it's possible that she had moved out and completely resigned her job as Gabriel's assistant.
  • To justify Alix's absence, her father Alim, with Ladybug's permission, reveals to her class and teachers that she had become the superhero Bunnyx to protect the Rabbit Miraculous and that she will only return once Monarch is defeated.
  • As of this episode, Miss Bustier is seen in an advanced pregnancy state, therefore officially connecting the series with the Miraculous New York special.
  • The first scene in the montage in which the camera zooms up to Ladybug and Cat Noir on top of the Eiffel Tower is a reanimated version of Marinette on top of the Eiffel Tower at the beginning of the series' intro.
  • This episode shows Parisians doing their best to cope with Monarch's threats:
    • It's revealed that Mylène and Ivan do yoga, with Mylène having her own yoga club.
      • Interestingly, one of the members of the club seems to be the elderly woman who gave Marinette similar earrings when she was looking for her Miraculous in "Miraculous Shanghai".
    • Nora practices her kickboxing with standees of Shadow Moth.
      • Additionally, Alya is seen with her hair tied up in a ponytail for the first time while she was practicing boxing with Nino Lahiffe.
    • However, these attempts eventually died down when weeks passed by and no akumatization had occurred.
  • This episode has the biggest time gap within a montage, as weeks pass since the day Gabriel obtained all of the Miraculous in Ladybug's Miracle Box until the day of Tomoe's re-akumatization into Ikari Gozen.
  • Ladybug's Lucky Charm object in this episode being a fishing rod was lightly foreshadowed in the Brazilian Portuguese dub in the scene in which she and Cat Noir play cards, which is stated to be Go Fish.
    • In the English dub, they play rummy instead.
  • It's revealed that Tomoe Tsurugi has become an ally of Monarch and that she helped him create technological rings that allow Monarch to transfer the powers of the Miraculous to his akumatized villains to whoever wears them, with herself serving as a test subject. These same rings are later released for public dispersal.
  • In Ladybug's transformation sequence, her hair has been re-edited to look darker.
  • This is the first appearance of the Magical Charms in season 5.
  • This is the fifth appearance of the space power-ups, chronologically following "Miraculous Shanghai", "Miraculous New York", "Dearest Family" and "Ephemeral".
    • Cosmobug and Astrocat travel through the Channel Tunnel, confirming that the space power-ups work underwater.
    • The scene where Cosmobug and Astrocat are talking to each other in their spacesuits while in view of the full moon is reanimated from "Miraculous Shanghai".
  • Félix wears the Peacock Miraculous for the first time, meeting Duusu formally.
  • This is the third episode where Adrien wears his pajamas, following "Kuro Neko" and "Risk".
  • This is the tenth episode in which the heroes use ear communicators, following "The Dark Owl", "Gamer 2.0", "Lies", "Queen Banana", "Glaciator 2", "Ephemeral", "Kuro Neko", "Penalteam" and "Strikeback".
  • This is the sixth episode that features a post-credit scene, following "Miracle Queen", "Gabriel Agreste", "Optigami", "Sentibubbler" and "Dearest Family".
    • It's also the first not to feature Gabriel Agreste.
  • The scene where Monarch detransforms resembles Hawk Moth's identity reveal in "The Collector".
  • Not counting episodes which don't have end cards, this is the fourth episode to have an end card in which Marinette doesn't appear, following "The Collector", "Malediktator", and "Félix".
  • As of this episode, like Adrien in "Oni-Chan" but unlike Monarch, Marinette too got what she wanted but wasn't happy about how it happened in the terms of Alix becoming Bunnyx.
  • Ikari Gozen is the first villain which Ladybug and Cat Noir originally fought with an ally, but fought alone when they were re-akumatized.
  • This is the ninth time where Ladybug's Lucky Charm resembles an akumatized villain's object from before it got akumatized following the fishing rod from the "Miraculous comic issue 2".
  • This is one of six times in season 5 that Cataclysm is used to destroy an akumatized object, the others being "Jubilation", "Perfection", "Migration", "Adoration" and "Representation".
  • The first half of the episode happens before "Destruction" and "Miraculous Paris", while the rest happens after them.
    • Alongside the previous three and the next episode, it forms a pentalogy called "The Rise of Monarch".[3]

Errors

  • When Félix is seen holding the Peacock Miraculous before putting it on for the first time, it is seen in its camouflage mode instead of its charged mode, and, when he put it on and Duusu appears, the Peacock Miraculous turns into its activated mode instead of its camouflage mode.
    • When Duusu first sees Félix, he asks where Nathalie is, saying her name out loud. As Nathalie was her holder, she shouldn't be able to say her name.
      • However, as Nathalie wasn't Duusu's holder from "Truth" to "Strikeback", she might be able to say her name, similarly to Tikki and Plagg being able to say Adrien's and Marinette's names, even after they were their temporary holders in "Reflekdoll".
      • Moreover, it’s unknown why she even asked where Nathalie was, as her previous holder was Gabriel.
  • When Monarch detransforms, and the Kwamis come out of their respective Miraculouses, Orikko isn't seen amongst them.
    • Also, when Gabriel is threatening the kwamis, Stompp suddenly disappears halfway through his dialogue.
  • The recorded footage that Ladybug shows Cat Noir is most likely when the Miraculous heroes from "Strikeback" were seen running on the buildings with Flairmidable, wearing the Lucky Charm sunglasses as they head to face the sentimonsters. However, several errors can be seen:
    • Paris does not appear to be in ruins.
    • Rooster Bold's black hair is missing; only his mohawk is seen, making him look partially bald.
    • Minotaurox doesn't have the design lines on this suit.
    • Carapace and Ryuko are missing in the footage, even though Ladybug called them that day, along with the fact that they were featured in the original scene of the heroes heading off.
    • None of the heroes are wearing the Lucky Charm glasses.
    • Ladybug is not wearing her upgraded suit.
  • The clock in Félix's apartment reads a few minutes to midnight, even though Big Ben shows the time is 9:00 both before and after this scene.
  • When Nathalie returns to the Agreste mansion, she appears to be sitting in the driver's seat, but gets out from the back.
  • Max says that Monarch has 78.95% of the Miraculouses (equal to 15 out of 19). However, there was no way he could've learned the Peacock Miraculous was with Félix.
    • It's possible, however, that he assumed that Monarch was no longer in possession of the Peacock, as its symbol wasn't shown during his announcement speech.
  • In Ladybug's transformation sequence, the fifth spot of her earring isn't completely black.
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Ladybug says that Ikari Gozen had multiplied herself into 12 copies, and both she and Cat Noir even call her "Ikari Dozen", even though she had multiplied herself into 16 copies.
    • In the English dub, she says instead "she made identical copies of herself".
  • When Monarch detransforms, he says "Dark Wings Fall" though he should've had the Dragon and Dog Miraculouses activated as well, as seen in Evolution, meaning he should've said "Reverse Morphosis".
