Ok there is something that I kept thinking about in miraculous: why are there non-zodiac miraculous in the Chinese miracle box?
Ok I know that the miracle box in the show has many miraculi in that one box for the classmates. But why so many unrelated ones?
Then I thought about the transformation of the Chinese design of the miracle box to the ladybug design. What if the transformation didn’t just apply to design but also capacity?
Introducing the miraculous box swap theory:
Basically, the miracle box can swap, gain, or lose miraculous and then reshape itself to fit them.
I think it all depends on context. Say for example, you are a guardian, you want a certain miraculous but you don’t have it, so you ask another guardian who has that specific miraculous to borrow / swap it for a while. That could explain why there are unrelated miraculi mixed.
The exchange happens and you swap miraculous by placing them on top of the sister box, magic stuff happens, and boom, a new slot is created for that miraculous.
Same thing goes for entire boxes, what if they could completely combine to form a new miracle box?
I theorize that the top miraculi (ladybug, black cat, fox, bee, butterfly, peacock, turtle) used to be a separate miracle box before it was combined with the Chinese zodiac box.
Fu’s Chinese box version specifically separates the non zodiac miraculi into their own top drawer. So it could possible remnants of the original box.
Thanks for coming to my dumb theory.
