Happy birthday to the cunning, funny and all out ultra charming @amimons ♥︎🥳

Have two idiots being stupidly in love in the autumn leaves 🍂

Noe Luksus

Well, we have a pretty big new character drop, and I am dying to deep dive! This slimy dude right here, Noe Luksus.

I kept thinking, god, this guy looks so familiar. The blonde hair and white and black outfit is giving re-verse Adrien from the Paris special, but there's something about his face shape that's totally bothering me.

And of course, it takes me til the very end for that AHA moment. 😅

But once it hit, boy, did it all start falling into place! (After much discussion this morning with friends!)

Here's what we all managed to collect:

So right out with it, Noe calls Audrey "Mother," and DING DING! Suddenly I realize why he looked so familiar! He's literally a male Chloe. And now I don't know how the hell I didn't see it sooner!

Secret Sibling stuff aside, (Like seriously? If I had a penny for every time Chloe got a secret sibling... I'd have two pennies 😂)

So now we have Chloé, Zoé and now Noé? Yeah, it follows the pattern. (Real original naming system there, Audrey.)

They all also have different last names, (Bourgeois, Lee, and now Luksus) but out of the three, I feel like Noe and Chloe look the most alike. So is AnaximAndré the daddy? I'm curious to know how the heck this all works. Okay, so how does mister greaseball fit into this whole thing?

He's trying to purchase the Gabriel company from Adrien. He owns, or is part of, a lot of companies.

Which are all arranged in the shape of a crown. (Oh yeah, that's not obvious or anything) Now it's interesting to me that if these companies are connected to the 'Kingdom' as I suspect, then is Gabriel's company not already in the web of companies? Adrien has inherited the company; we get that info in Revelator. So the Kingdom, and Noe, need to get their hands on it. And it's now been placed in the hands of a child.

Now, why this connection to the kingdom is important:

The "Kingdom" has identified Gabriel Agreste as the "Diamond" and told us that he is dead. Then they introduce the new "King of Luxury", where it hovers over the Diamond symbol, implying that the "King of Luxury" is replacing the Diamond.

Then Audrey calls Noe "Diamond dear." And yes, it's a little on the nose, and yes, it could be a nickname/pet name. (Sure.)

But you know what I think is interesting???

His name. Luksus. Luksus LITERALLY means Luxury in Danish, Polish, Norwegian, and in German its spelled Luxus, but is similar enough for me to include. (There may be other languages too i didn't look that deeply.)

His first name, Noé, could possibly refer to the biblical name Noah, (Meaning comfort, quiet, rest) but I also found that in Danish and Norwegian, Noé means "Something" or "Anything". I don't know if his first name has as much significance as his last name, but I thought I'd throw that in there.

Then it was mentioned that the symbol for his company kinda gave off a Louis Vuitton vibe, and then-- found this!!

A Louis Vuitton, (Luxury brand) bag that is literally called NOE? 🤔

Then, at the end of it all, he says this: "Now everyone in Paris knows who I am."

Because he's the new face. He's there to replace Gabriel in the public eye. They wanted his name and face out there, publicized. I dunno about you, but I think we can all say hello to our new King of Luxury, Noe Luksus.

Thanks to @jigglypuff1994, @fandomofone and @raspberrycatapult for everyone's input and research and theory spinning!!

SPOILER FOR NOE EP!!! I'd probably need to see more of Audrey and Noe's interactions before getting a grasp on their dynamic, but so far I'm getting this vibe from Audrey. Noe (the favourite child who has proven himself to be a true insufferable capitalist lol), Zoe (the traitor who she can't be bothered with), and Chloe (the one in the middle of Noe and Zoe, where her views align closer to Noe's yet she failed when obtained power as per s5, so she needs training to get better at it?)

As soon as I saw the name of the episode was Noé I told my friends jokingly that it had to be Chloé and Zoé's secret brother because the name ends the same and then it turns out I was right jfjdjdjdjd (and as soon as I saw his face I was like okay that is def a male Chloé face 💀)

I agree with you on how Audrey views each of her kids. Of course we'd need more information on how she interacts with Noé, is she a puppeteer and he's been "trained" to act exactly how she wants, or is he just as much of a "mastermind" as she is and she sees him as her equal of sorts? Or something else. But right now he def plays into what she wants and expects so he's her favorite!

I'm also wondering if one of these kids could be a sentimonster or not, considering the rich kids of the evil organization's track record hahaha and if so, which one(s?) it is. And if that's the case, what difference does it make in how Audrey sees them? But I'm getting ahead of myself here and throwing random theories than what we have right now 😂

Rewatching Oni-chan after Yaksi Gozen hits different, specifically the scene where Lila is annoyed when seeing Kagami in Adrien's fencing photo and then boasts about how she lived in Japan for a few years like hello?? 🤠 Her also fixating on Kagami in ML Perfection - I thought it was just because she wanted to ruin Marinette's friendships outside of her class but it was something more personal 🤠

There are sooo many past episodes that we can rewatch with new lenses after Yaksi Gozen for real!!

Thanks for pointing all these stuff out anon 👀 love how you were able to catch all these stuff... And I agree, her trying to get closer to Kagami in S5 was surprising so with that new layer of possible information, it makes lots of sense and makes it all super intriguing! I can't wait to get more information and confirmation about what Lila's relation is to Tomoe, if she's indeed her daughter or something else, but there is definitely something going on !

[emsylcatac]

so i remember at the end of s5 protection (?), Kagami tells Lila over the alliance call on how she'd like to be friends and Lila was all "oh you're MORE than a friend, you're like a sister to me :) " like ???????

‼️‼️Anon!!! You have such a good memory omg!!! 🤯 I checked and it's not at the end of Protection, but at the end of Perfection (which makes even more sense in terms of what Kagami represents to Lila with that new theory) :

(I roughly translated to English the French version)

And since I rewatched part of Protection to answer your ask, it allowed me to rewatch Lila calling Kagami "perfect" more than once 👀

Really well spotted anon!!

[ssoapp]

So this was heartwrenching….

This absolute behemoth of a scene made the whole episode for me.

[ninadove]

So what do we think of the "You're not a precious diamond. You're just a stone." line now uh?

[emsylcatac]

Kagami and Lila having the same French VA takes a whole other sense all of a sudden

[kisilinramblings]

Tomoe seems to have dropped the secret council's name during the flashback when she received a call with Gabriel.

She makes a reference to "Le Royaume". Literally the Kingdom.

And like we could have deduced by each symbol, the Kingdom's 12 seating members are "Kings" of a particular field.

[kaiosa]

He's good! Even Felix was tricked.

[little-mari-on-a-roof]

miraculous airing an episode about the Louvre at the same time as it got robbed irl was not on my bingo card for 2025

[chatblancofficial]

Someone ROBBED the Louvre!? HOW??

[little-mari-on-a-roof]

with small chainsaws and a freight elevator according to police sources

[little-mari-on-a-roof]

help the part of the museum that got robbed is the exact one that's mentioned in the episode... the Apollo gallery was going through it this morning

[emsylcatac]

now tht the group therapist left (Luka), everyone was like "guess we should go to a licensed therapist now"

Hahahaha exactly, I bet the lack of music metaphors from the professional therapist took them by surprise at first 😂

[serosedflamio]

WAR IS OVER

[cookiedough77]

adrien in therapy:

"hey google, can i call cps on a dead man?"

oh she will have a FEILD DAY when the truth comes out

[bklily]

God I know they won't show it but I would KILL to see Adrien's therapy sessions.

Adrien, on his 5th consecutive hour ranting about all the shit Gabriel did to him: Oh, and don't even get me started on the Sensory Deprivation Chamber.

His therapist, who by the second hour was wondering if it's possible to call child protective services on a dead person: Dear Christ, the WHAT.

[little-mari-on-a-roof]

Wreckless Driver was such a good episode
