…and we aren’t ready in the slightest.
As longtime Miraculous fans (including us) can attest, Season Six has been incredibly outstanding. A feat made even more impressive as it serves as the first chapter of the series’ second arc.
While Gabriel’s days as Hawk Moth/Monarch are long behind him, his past actions are having more consequences for our heroes now than they ever did while he spent his days scheming to obtain the powers of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous.
Lila, who now seems to be holding all the cards with the Butterfly Miraculous in her hands, has become increasingly bold and strategic with her moves. Making power plays not only directly, but also behind closed doors alongside Tsurugi, who herself appears to be working with the still-shadowy entity known as “The Kingdom.”
The stakes are growing rapidly and are dangerously close for our heroes—who are, sadly, unaware of just how much danger they, their secrets, and the city of Paris are truly in.
Secrets that are causing major problems.
Secrets so fragile they could shatter like glass if things don’t improve.
And it looks like that is about to happen.
Secrets, lies, and the lengths one is willing to go to protect the people they love have become the linchpins of this season. Sure, the series has never been a stranger to the balancing act between truth and deception. But this time around, everything feels even more heightened.
Throughout our coverage of Miraculous Season Six, we have talked at length about how Gabriel’s final request has ultimately caused more problems than he ever did during his last act. While Adrien feels increasingly lost and confused, Marinette inches closer to a complete mental collapse every time we see her.
Something that appears even more frighteningly true in the long-awaited trailer for the final episodes of Season Six.
Can we officially say, on record, that after this Marinette deserves a month-long beach vacation with nothing but a small kitchen to bake in and her sewing machine?
Because she does.
Dearly.
While she has spent years keeping secrets—her identity as Ladybug, the Miraculous, and everything else—it’s all beginning to wear on her. She no longer has anyone like Master Fu to turn to, and her only true sounding board is Tikki. Marinette’s thoughts aren’t just racing anymore—they’re beginning to short-circuit her entire emotional state.
It’s understandable.
But it’s equally painful to watch.
Having always been such a caring and empathetic person, carrying so many secrets and feeling as though deception has become her entire life doesn’t just weigh heavily on her heart—it feels as though she’s slowly losing pieces of herself she never imagined could disappear.
That would be overwhelming for anyone.
Even an adult.
For a teenager…
It feels nearly impossible.
But she isn’t alone in those struggles.
Kagami is fighting demons of her own—both the inner truths she continues to hide and the complicated relationship she has with her mother.
It’s just as difficult to watch.
We can clearly see what both girls are enduring, even if neither fully understands what the other is carrying. They have become fascinating parallels to one another, and in many ways Kagami has steadily grown into one of the series’ most important characters, standing just behind our leading duo.
And with her mother becoming increasingly entangled in darker secrets and dangerous alliances—something Kagami may not yet fully understand—the situation only becomes more dangerous. Not just for Kagami herself, but for the other heroes and ultimately the world.
Honestly…
I hope that once this arc is over, Marinette’s parents adopt her.
Kagami deserves a loving home.
With secrets, lies, and doubt creeping further into our core cast, the weight of protecting Paris continues to grow. So too does the danger becoming more aggressive and powerful with each passing day.
Something major is about to happen.
Something that will likely change these characters’ lives once again.
The only question left isn’t whether they can fight.
It’s whether they can stay together.
