Why is no one talking about this?
Incoming Miraculous Ladybug Theory guys
I think we all got a bit too distracted by Bananoir in Feast to take in everything it gave us.
For example, Fu canonically has siblings??! At least 2? One being a sister who I'm presuming he was fairly close to?
So Fu possibly has living relatives that are direct descendants of his siblings. Possibly characters we'll get to meet huh?
(Like really, look at these two, this must have been devastating)
Or is it possible that we've known these relatives the entire time?
And that they are none other than our very own Marinette and Sabine?
Think about it, Marinette's maternal family is Chinese.
The Temple of the Miraculous where the monks live is in Tibet, a southwestern region of China.
Let's also not forget about Marinette's great-uncle the famous Chinese chef Wang Cheng.
A great-uncle who still lives in China, and speaks minimal English (French?)
(I actually went to look this up and I present you with, "While his native language is Mandarin, he is able to speak a little English, although he states his abilities are terrible." In case anyone else was curious.)
But Wang Cheng huh? Wang Cheng. Wang.
Seem familiar? Because it just may. Wang is Master Fu's first name.
Master Wang Fu
Coincidence?! I think not.
I think Fu's loving younger sister went on to keep Wang a family name and have it passed on through the generations even if she lost her surname through marriage.
For us to now arrive at his like great-x7-niece Marinette Dupain-Cheng
(In case you're wondering, I did do math to come to the conclusion of that approx. 7 greats.
Because here's some canon numbers I have for you:
-Master Fu is 186 and a half years old
-The show takes place in the year it debuted 2015 (though since months/Christmas has canonically passed it's now 2016)
-This means Master Fu was born in 1829
-The temple was destroyed 172 years before
-The year this happened is stated in the news report to be 1844
-Master Fu was selected to become a guardian when he was younger than Marinette, so he was 13 at the oldest
-Master Fu was 15 at the time of the temple's destruction
-Fu's siblings are younger (I approx. the sister is ~2 years younger)
-France was taken in 1940 in WW2, so Fu was 111 in the backwarder flashback)
So I'm headcanoning this for now
I also want to add in the fact that not only does Sabine enjoy meditating, I'd like to remind everyone that she's skilled in martial arts. Not sure if it's relevant but the reminder of how badass she is, is always nice. But perhaps this was like pseudo-guardian training. And this is why it's also hard to akumatize her.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
