CODE LYOKO ENGLISH - EP36 - Marabounta

CODE LYOKO - EP36 - Marabounta
When Jeremy deciphers part of Franz Hopper’s journal, he comes across an interesting theory about multi-agent systems. It states that while a lone, small program working alone is incapable of the slightest imaginative response, a group of small programs working together is said to be capable of performing highly-complex tasks. Jeremy believes that a program of this nature would be a fantastic weapon to use against XANA! On the basis of this latest discovery, Jeremy creates a new program he calls, Marabounta! He launches it. At first, “Marabounta” is an effective weapon for our heroes against XANA’s monsters, but before long, things start going horribly wrong!

Even XANA knows the Marabounta's dangerous. And he even THANKS the Lyoko Warriors at the end. Man, I love when sentient world-conquering AIs are given personality.

The Marabounta is a good concept, but it needed to be fleshed out more.

[@Gameface9782]

This show does a great job giving Xana and even the monsters personality

I love this episode, one of the best in the series. Plus I really appreciate William here for lecturing Ulrich to tell Yumi how he feels about her already before he decides to move in. A lot of the fans hate William for getting between them (not like they needed the help...), but really, William actually first gave Ulrich a chance before making his move.

[@TheIDRIS2000]

I agree. Unfortunately, Ulrich was swallowed by his pride and refused to listen to William's advice. Because of that, he almost lost Yumi.

There's the Dark Monsters from the games but the Scorpion would be terrifying due to it being able to move very fast, can leap across long distances, has a sharp tail that it uses to attack and it's huge, like more huge than a 6FT muscular human.

[@mactin7214]

Got say after rewatching this episode, "Marabounta" might be one of my favorites from the series. Most of time the show followed a formula, the kids having to deal with Xana and getting to the tower in nearly every episode and the ones that don't involve them getting to a tower that Xana activated Xana is still the main threat of the episode.While I don't dislike the formula of the show that they follow, this one changes that formula into making both sides work together. It's would have been nice to see more of this type of episode, I'm just glad that it was made and aired for us to see.

[@jediblackbelt2443]

Somehow I think XANA's thoughts on the matter would be summed up in the words of Doctor House, to Jeremie; "You're an idiot."

William lets Ulrich talk with Yumi first before and let’s him know what he’ll do if he’s too late. William knows he’s new so he doesn’t actually want drama

[@silvieee4556]

Jeremy throughout the series: - always telling everyone to hurry up - Everyone: - rarely talk back - Yumi this episode: "Hey Jeremy, can you maybe hurry up." Jeremy: "Hey, I'm doing my best here!!" Smh Jeremy 😧

[@potato1341]

Easily one of my personal favourite episodes. The enemy helping out the hero, even if it's for their own personal gain is always a special occurrence. The ability to see even a hyper virus what has more than enough times try to kill these guys brutally *team up* with them for once to destroy a common enemy is too good.

[@nobgs4505]

And the fact that, instead of having the monsters there go right back to attacking the warriors, has them BOW and leave peacefully shows that XANA still has some honor in him too.

The latter episode that William was involved in the group, the scene at the bridge with Yumi, he stated that he can't swim. So there is an inconsistency here.

He actually was going to tell Yumi that he's not just flirting around with her because she thought he was and was going to tell her he flirts because he wants to form an actual relationship with her. But she cut him off due to the timing so he made up not being able to swim.

It’s strangely awesome to see the monsters helping. Though it sucks Jeremy never revisited this concept of making their own support creatures.

[@AzureMoebius22]

The failure with his virtual Blob probably completely turned him off from that idea. That and the risk that his support drones could be corrupted.

[@artistanthony1007]

The thing is his team are humans and they have something that XANA doesn't so there's no point, XANA is a logical program and doesn't like to take risks, he has alot of things that beat them but he has some lacking stuff, the emotions and nature of feelings like love being one of the stuff he fails at. Also the MAS was consuming so much resources in the Supercomputer that vehicles could not be done and that is a perfect reason to just ditch any artificial programs.

[@yubelzlord9734]

Ah, here it is. Best episode in the show imo. The only ones to rival this are probably the ones when William is finally recovered from XANA and the last one which is full of flashbacks. I even remember watching this ep when I was 7 and seeing that scene with the krab lifting up Aelita on its head. Epic ♡

[@Bthakilla4rilla]

I really liked this episode for a lot of the different things that it did as opposed to the usual "XANA attacks, the Lyoko Warriors stop him, return to the past and then make some bad joke" Despite this, there is a pretty big plot hole. The Marabounta attacks Aelita, but what is the actual threat of this? Yumi was caught by it and all it did was divirtualize her. What suggests Aelita would die if it caught her? The characters' actions and dialogue points to it, but again, look at Yumi as an example. On top of this, the entire problem could have been negated entirely if Aelita was just devirtualized, which Jeremie can do himself, or via friendly fire.

[@BattlestarZenobia]

F Aelita can only be devirtualised inside a tower by activating Code Earth

[@eddieb.klighton9398]

At this point in the series, she can't be devirtualized the normal way. If she were, she'd disappear completely. It isn't until season 3 that she can be devirtualized normally

[@AzureMoebius22]

William gave Ulrich a piece of advice but he just didn't listen to William. That's pretty bad though I love them both. But sometimes Ulrich's lack of courage to confess his feeling makes me want Yumi to pick William 🤣

[@machmodeling]

Honestly, if Ulrich would keep sulking about little things like this and ignore our alerts that XANA's attacking, then I would kick him out of the group because he becomes unreliable, but then his memories of Lyoko can't be erased, unless he can erase them with a RTTP like he did with Laura in Evolution.

[@TheTimeFlyzShow]

That's a horrible idea seeing as he's come in clutch many times.

[@infinitypercival5958]

machmodeling Well I guess when you put it in that context about Ulrich's dismissal from the team, it would make it understandable, not at all like in the previous episode. That was pure garbage. But would you really go THAT far to try and erase his memories about Lyoko? I think I would just be more like "Ulrich, until you learn to be more reliable and not to sulk over bullshit reasons, you're ass is officially out of the gang...... again."

[@DBZFANX1000]

They are nearly dieing with just 4 of them coming in clutch everytime doing that is kinda a death wish. Also ulrich is often the last one standing he is needed. I mean understand but i don't think he is somebody you would slack on. Sissy who was about to tell everyone and get lyoko shutdown is the type to never recruit again, or william because he didn't listen and he was already a conflict maker in the group like sissy or jim, but then he actually becomes a real problem because he lets himself get caught. Making him a liabillity that needs saving despite the fact he went in to a place he had knowledge of showing he is not really a smart listener which is basically what jeremie is good for in lyoko to figure out plans of xana or give warnings. Ulrich sulks sometimes but everyone does even aelita has done it and when she did it she go to lyoko alone which is a stupid decision. which is less painful then ulrich sulking since aelita is the entire plot and the key to xana winning. So in that case it be more safe to kick aelita too then but they have to take risks and nobody else can go to the tower. All of them make problems even jeremie and most of the time he doesn't even get punished for it so kicking ulrich for when he has problems be insane.

[@user-Jay178]

This was my favorite episode because the Lyoko warriors and X.A.N.A works together and the end where they bowed.
