Crocoduel⎮Miraculous Ladybug Season 4 Review

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

I love how Juleka gets the absolute worst look of any Akumatized villain, and yet they make up for it by giving her the absolute BEST Miraculous Hero outfit.

[@BlueBlazeKing]

Perfectly balanced…. as all things should be

[@birdofprey7415]

Cat Noir / Adrien has had 4 miraculous costumes : Cat Noir, Cat Walker, Aspik, and Cat Noir + the snake miraculous. He has also had 2 akumatised costumes being cat blanc and ephemeral and they were insane as well. I think the only lacking costumes were Aspik and Ephemeral

Marinette was pretty annoying in this episode. But I’m glad that she at least understood that she was being selfish and apologized to Juleka and Luka. Tbh, I don’t think that she was properly thinking about Luka when she asked Juleka not to have him at the party because she was so overwhelmed, but the fact that she understood this at all and apologized definitely shows that she never meant to hurt anyone. It’s good that her and Luka became friends in the end for real. Anyway, besides that…I really loved the development for Juleka’s character and how well Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Purple Tigress worked together this episode. Everyone pulled equal weight, which is needed in more episodes. Now we just have to wait for Wishmaker.

[@smartcookie1806]

@@Furrycat_Animations True, her reasoning was valid. But not wanting someone to be at their own birthday party because you’re scared of seeing them again is selfish and only thinking about yourself.

[@smartcookie1806]

@gamers station Marinette should be called out when she does something wrong (which she herself did), but it was acknowledged in the episode that she was wrong, and she apologized for it. She understood that she wasn’t thinking about Luka at all and made Juleka realize that she didn’t have to do something that was both impossible and rude.

Marriente has always been a selfish person, she has a unhealthy obsession with Adrien and goes to far that’s why she’s my least favorite character.

[@smartcookie1806]

@@butterflyindisguise3838 I mean, in this case, the worst consequence you can get is maybe Juleka being angry or something and Luka feeling sad about Marinette not wanting him there (both of which happened, though Juleka was more stressed than angry). There isn’t really any long-term consequence for something like that, and it’s very easy to make up for the kind of mistakes she made in this episode. It’s kind of the equivalent of getting into an argument with your parents or something and apologizing for it later. It isn’t really impactful in the grand scheme of things.

[@moth9507]

Everyone that isnt Adrien, Juleka or Luka was kinda acting off this episode. Aside from that though, I loved this episode quite a bit. I might not like the twin retcon, but the more Luka and Juleka the better. Also purple tigress (even if she's not purple >:( thats a dark wine/magenta) is probably the best designed hero so far. The stripes being lace fabric adds so much to the look.

@Edward Red Mendoza Thomas had said before that Luka was the older brother of Juleka (by two years, i think) but the age gap between him and Marinette was too great. Marinette is 14 turning 15 in season four but Juleka turned 16, so if they kept Luka as an older brother, then he would’ve been 18, so it technically isn’t even legal to date each other. so there was a retcon, but Luka’s age abs relation to Juleka was only stated by Thomas before Crocoduel

Not only that but Marinette having the AUDACITY to ask Juleka to uninvite her own BROTHER from THEIR birthday party at THEIR HOUSE!!!! Thank god she apologized because if she didn’t, I think I’d literally start to hate her forever.

[@zsand0123]

The tiger miraculous is a panjas bracelet or a “slave bracelet.” Apparently it’s pretty popular with the “goth” culture which is right up Juleka’s alley. It’s obvious they designed the miraculous to match her design. Although, we’ve seen some of the miraculous change pretty drastically to match the personality of the wearer, even going as way as to change shape or the type of jewelry it is

[@MonsterHighEpsBR]

Kim's monkey miraculous crown turn into a swimming ear protector!! Its so cool

[@zsand0123]

@StrawberryStar when Marinette wore the monkey miraculous, it turned from a crown into a headband and when Marinette wore the tiger miraculous, it changed its shapes to add three blue jewels and a different placement for the chain. Additionally, other miraculouses can minorly change shape between charged and camouflage mode, most notably the peacock miraculous which can often adds extra feather shapes to the miraculous when in camouflage mode. The mouse miraculous also slightly changes its shape depending on the wearer. If you look closely during Zoe’s transformation, the bee miraculous also takes on a slightly different shape when she’s wearing it. Not all miraculouses really have huge changes when they’re in camouflage mode, but based on what we’ve seen, we know it’s certainly possible. When I made that comment, I was mainly referring to the example of the monkey miraculous I mentioned above.

[@giorgiasegalla1558]

The cat miraculous becomes of a slightly pink color when marinette wears it in the episode where they exchange the miraculous

[@wrknjob]

I can't tell if Marinette actually forgot or pretended to not know that Jagged was their dad because whatever tone she was speaking in it was in French, but she was probably pretending.

You know the fourteenth webisode of Miraculous Secrets called "Friends" hinted that Marinette/Ladybug may give Miraculouses to all of her close circle of friends (Alya, Rose, Alix, Juleka and Mylène) throughout the course of the show and it was right. The only one of her friends that she hasn't given a Miraculous to yet is Alix, but we all know that she will at some point in the future as mentioned in the episode "Timetagger".

[@pondersprocket2274]

Far as I'm aware, Juleka's power is that of "clout," which I think is supposed to mean two separate things based on its definition. Clout is defined as "influence" but can also refer to a powerful punch. So when Juleka delivers her final blow and says "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, but... talk it over instead of arguing," I *think* the implication is supposed to be that, along *with* the punch, her words have more influence, compelling them to listen to her. I don't know to what extent that could apply , but that's how I understood it and I felt that it made perfect sense given Juleka's personality and how difficult it is for her to request things of people.

[@Zilkenian_Davenport]

I just remembered who Luka reminds me of: William, from Code Lyoko. He comes in much later in the cartoon, is part of the team for an episode (before being kidnapped by XANA), and in Evolution he becomes the voice of reason for the group most of the time, while being some sort of third party wheel. The likeness is really uncanny at times.

[@edra2005]

This show has a striking resemblance to code lyoko Both take place in France Both feature a scary villain with the power to possess people and manipulate real world events Both have teenagers become warriors/superheroes to defeat the villains Both have some system to return everything to normal (Miraculous Ladybug/Return to the past) after the villain of the episode is defeated

Next to Mari being selfish idiot and by poor baby Sunshine being neglected (what a suprise), I was so annoyed by how fast Jagged and Anarka made up after Juleka confronting them. Like, no it doesn't work that way, especially when we know that they hated each other so much that Anarka didn't even told them that who their dad is. I have a parents who don't speak to each other for years and every time I tryed to hint that it's very exhausting they snapped at me, sometimes even try to put some blame at me (I was child/tween at that point). So no, it's not that easy and please don't think it magicly will be. Anyways, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Exultation in this sense would be "raising the rank". The rank might be physical attributes such as or maybe just strength, so she would rank up in power for one go which would lead to the punch she preformed

[@alinahlamis783]

I didn't even realize it was JULEKA when I saw the thumbnail and that's... really cool, actually. Finally, another alter ego that's not too obvious at first glance. I mean, the miraculous probably has some magic or whatever that hides their identity, but still, it's really nice seeing how this show is just so concerned about secret identities and such. Also, seeing as how she looks kinda tall and slender in the thumbnail, I didn't even think of a tiger at first...actually, the animal I thought of was something like...a ferret? Something like that. xD But yeah, agree on what he said on the video that this is the best costume, transformation and color scheme so far. The most eye catching thing about Juleka, to me, has always been her purple hair gradient, and having that be completely covered up in her hero form and instead making her eye color stand out more by moving her bangs make it better as a disguise. As for the name...I dunno, Purple Tigress just instantly reminded me of Amethyst's "Purple Puma" thing, which was her wrestling stage name, and another tiger themed character from some cartoon called "El Tigre." Don't have a problem it with actually, except that only purple thing on her alter ego is probably the top part of her hair.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

First, I have never heard anyone feel bad for Gabe even sarcastically. Despite the chaos in this episode, I still think Luka is a good brother to Julika. Again, no one is perfect. I pictured gabe with a imaginary list that looks like this. So gang of secrets is out What is next? Truth Kagami is not here so the lies plan is out. Can I get Lady wifi? What episode will be next? Oh I know, let’s combine two of them. I hate to say this, but I cannot be the only one who said finally when Ladybug got knocked down by a heavy obstacle. Now you got a small glimpse of what Cat Noir goes through. I am glad he still kind of saved the day, but I still felt he was under utilized. Did they know Adrien was not going to be there, because they did not mention him once in regards to the party. Knowing Adrien, he may have tan away or cancelled the shoot to hang out with his friends. I agree with you about Julika just being the best transformation and costume of the entire show. Props to her for defending herself. Go Julika.

Ikr! Plus when I first search up Lukas age it shows that he's 17 and an older brother to Juleka, I honestly don't know why they changed them to be twins imo

[@kittykatycupcake318]

[@sammartina8574]

Marinette was really lovable at the start of the episode with her concern for getting Luka akumatized. By the end of the episode, I was just relieved that it wasn't IMPOSSIBLE to reconcile what I had just seen with Marinette being a good person. So that makes it a notch above Party Crasher, Animaestro and Ikari Gozen. I suppose it would be out of place if Marinette's disrespect for other people's boundaries never came up again, given that it was hammered into the ground in season 3. But I still didn't like seeing it.

Could she actually just go around the city and make charms for all people? I didn't think it was like her lucky charm power up that she could only use once per transformation or that the charm only gave protection for a single emotion. It'd just be a really boring show if no one got akumitized because everyone was wearing a charm.

[@Wright805]

She can only create a charm for someone AFTER they've been Akumatised.

[@jayfeather464]

I feel like Luka is gonna figure out who Marinette is soon. Before the akumatizations she told him that she would talk to him later then afterwards when she told him to run away as Ladybug she told him the same thing and you can see he has this look of shock and questioning on his face. He might figure it out like Alya did with Nino. It also says Luka has been akumatized twice because of her. Once on Truth and I assume the second will be in Episode 5. I'm not sure if shes given him a pendant yet tho as this episode highlighted him almost getting akumatized but the akuma didn't get close enough for us to see if he was protected on not. Luka is also the holder of a Miraculous that deals with time and we know when dealing with time travel whats seen cant be unseen and it looks like heroes that deal with time have exceptions (Bunnix knowing everyone's identities) to knowing peoples identities. So yeah I think Wishmakers gonna be that episode where Luka finds out either CN or LB or BOTH of their identities.

15:10, the tiger miraculous is a Panjas bracelet. When Juleka was akumatised into Reflekta, the object the akuma possessed, was a Panjas bracelet. Juleka always wears a Panjas bracelet so her walking around with a camouflaged tiger miraculous, wouldn't arouse any suspicion, since she always wears one. No one would even notice. Kim on the other hand, has a circlet. That's a miraculous you can't walk around with

[@happymeals9912]

Crocoduel is the episode full of Shadowmoth's funny moments. Watching Shadowmoth getting jebaited three times by all of them is just hilarious. 😂 And btw, no. Marinette didn't hear that Jagged is Luka's father, because it happened after Ladybug and Cat Noir already swam away.

[@lilymadkins3558]

I disagree that its false narrative. While their break up wasn't primarily about her feelings for Adrien. Literally EVERYONE in the episode Truth kept screaming that Marinette was in love with Adrien Agreste over and over again. Luka himself said he is completely okay with Marinette being in love with Adrien in the bridge scene. Mr. Pigeon 72 perfectly explained that Marinette was only lying about not having feelings for Adrien the whole time too. I am really glad this episode addressed it. All the "flirting" and "romance" in Lukanette where all always one-sided. Even if Marinette wasn't Ladybug. Marinette could NEVER love Luka the same way she loves Adrien. Which is why Adrienette is the endgame.

[@km09l]

EXACTLY

[@emircanozad914]

@gamers station You are just overreacting to it. You gotta chill.

[@frederickbeatson2238]

Exactly, It was all Luka and by that I mean all that flirting in the past was just one sided basically Luka trying to make moves on Marinette which I find very stupid of him. But a few things that made me disappointed about the whole lukanette thing is that first of all why are Marinette's friends trying to interfere like it's just so annoying this is Marinette's choice she doesn't have to go if she feels uncomfortable 😕. They were all just being bad friends literally they planned to trick Mari into coming with them like who does that to their own best friend/ friend I wouldn't do that to mine. They didn't ask Mari for permission they were all just like, "Hey, let's trick our friend into coming with us to the party so she can see her ex again and be uncomfortable! We can totally do this without asking any permission not like we have to." I think that's just rude. Another thing that made me disappointed was how every one was treating Juleka even Rose. The moment Luka walked away sad they made what was supposed to be Juleka's special day into Marinette's and Luka's friendship reunion it was so bad they made it all about Mari. Juleka was clearly a bit bothered by this but because she is very self-centered she didn't say anything and just went along with it. Even Luka was a complete dush bag your sister ran away crying and instead of being concerned for your own sister on her birthday all he did was complain about Marinette it's like all Luka cares about is Marinette I know they have their sweet moments but they acted careless and blind towards Juleka in this episode. And last why is Luka still in love with her this is episode 12 and Truth is episode 1 it's so ridiculous 🙄 how come you have feelings for someone you knew liked someone else since the beginning and someone who broke up with you probably 10 months after. ( We don't really know the timeline in miraculous so this is obviously a guess. ) this shows Luka's inability to move on. He got himself into a situation that ended up breaking his heart it's like he keeps on expecting Mari to come back to him he is too hopeful he needs to let go he should have done that but he didn't so it was Marinette who had to put her foot down and tell him she just wanted to be friends.
