My predictions and theories for the rest of season 4
With only six episodes left and known air dates for four of them, I feel like now would be a good time to say what I expect and predict from each episode we have yet to see. Now, this could be entirely wrong, entirely right (probably not), or something in between, but this is what I think we may see in each of the upcoming episodes.
- Being as this season has been using “micro-arcs” throughout the season, consisting of usually two episodes that are connected somehow, it is likely this episode will follow suit. The episode will probably connect in some way to episode six.
- Based off of this I think that the guardianship will have some presence and exploration within the episode
- Also there’s a chance we may see Su Han arrive in Paris, intent on finding the miracle box as we see in episode 6
- Lila hasn’t really been present this season and while there is a chance she is in the episode I’m thinking that more likely than not, she isn’t
- Strong Ladynoir episode, before the conflict begins so there will probably be little to no tension between the two
- I’m thinking this episode will just be filler and hopefully a nice fluffy episode to calm us before the storm of what else remains
- Being as how we haven’t received a synopsis or any spoiler trailers/images I can’t really give more of a prediction than this
- Originally, I had thought that this would be a Ladrien episode, but after receiving the synopsis and trailer, I’m not so sure, there will definitely be Adrinette though
- Okay, okay I know that cannon isn’t the biggest fan of Marichat and that they already got their episode this season, but for some reason this episode gives me Marichat vibes
- I’m thinking that something, maybe a disagreement or something else happens between Sabine and Marinette. This season has shown heavily the consequences of Marinette’s heightened responsibilities, especially in her relationships with others and having this episode involve a fracturing relationship with her mother, fits the pattern that season 4 has shown so far
- I think though that if the above point is correct, Sabine will learn by the end to trust her daughter which thus explains her mindset and perspective in “Dearest Family”
- There’s a miniscule chance that she’ll discover Marinette’ secret but seeing how “Dearest Family” played out, this happening doesn’t make so much sense
- Being as how we haven’t received a synopsis or any spoiler trailers/images I can’t really give more of a prediction than this
- Of all the unaired episodes this is probably the episode we know most about. As such, I have the most ideas about this episode
- I follow the majority in thinking that Catwalker is probably Adrien, his mannerisms and overall demeanor just don’t really match Felix, and with the way Ladybug is blushing at him, I highly doubt that Catwalker is Louis from the future
- I think that the conflict that “breaks the camel’s back”, the thing that causes Adrien to give up his miraculous, is probably a misunderstanding. As many people have pointed out, she’s wearing an earpiece at the time, she could have been addressing someone else or perhaps she was overwhelmed by many things going on at once. Either way, I feel like a misunderstanding is what breaks Adrien and causes him to think that he’s inconsequential to her
- Based on how surprised she is by him in the trailer, I don’t think Ladybug knows who Catwalker is, that is to say that she didn’t pick him, Plagg did
- This is a weak prediction, because I think that it likely won’t happen but there’s a chance that she discovers that Catwalker is Chat Noir
- I think that regardless of wether the above point is true, Chat Noir will almost certainly have his miraculous back by the end of the episode, if not by the end of “Penalteam”
- I think that the majority of the Ladynoir conflict will be talked-out and resolved in this episode, bringing their partnership, slowly but surely, back to where it was
- However, I also think that it will not be fully resolved and their relationship will continue to heal in the following episodes
- So, I thought there might be Lila here, but based on the spoiler we got and that she isn’t even there with the rest of the class, I’m thinking that her only appearance may be in the finale
- From the leaked concept art, we know that the akumatized person in this episode is Chloe, which also means another Mega-Akuma
- We’re going to (probably) get a huge influx of new heroes, meaning that Penalteam will likely be a difficult villain to defeat
- I think that the resolution from the Ladynoir conflict will likely be tabled for this episode and will instead be focused on in the finale
- I could be wrong but I think that this episode, other than the new heroes will be a filler episode
- I’m grouping these two episodes together because it gets too complicated trying to decipher which plot points go into which episode
- Thomas Astruc teased that the Chat Noir in the finale could be Felix, but like, no. based on what little we’ve gotten and the implications of it being Felix it just make sense.
- By implications I am of course referring to the fact that a miraculous wielder controls what their suit looks like, and it would mean that Felix would be aware that he is identical to Chat Noir (and would know that he is Adrien) which is I guess plausible but would mean that Felix is in more than three episodes (which we know he isn’t since it was confirmed he was in only three episodes) an episode to show this development and both parts of the finale (in addition to “Gabriel Agreste”) basically, it doesn’t work
- I think that the Ladynoir Conflict arc will come to a close in the finale, their communication will improve and they’ll work as a team in the way we have always seen them
- All the little threads and unresolved plot points will come to a head. Something will probably happen with Alya and/or Luka. I think that the secrets Alya keeping from Marinette will be discovered (and will be fodder for my prediction for the cliffhanger, but I’ll get to that)
- If Adrien is a sentimonster, it will probably be confirmed in this episode. the same is likely true for Felix, since he also has not been officially confirmed as a sentimonster
- Lila will take over as Hawkmoth and/or will by privy to Shadowmoth’s identity. As mentioned in a previous post, I think that the picture we got of Adrien with the peacock, is probably Felix and possibly with the fake miraculous put in the same at the end of “Gabriel Agreste”
- I think that Marinette will confess to Adrien, but either due to his own volition or pressure/force from his father, Adrien will reject her
- I predict that there will be some development of feelings for the reverse lovesquare (or this could just be me hoping)
- Just based on the clips we’ve gotten I’m guessing that in fighting the villain, they start with a large team that due to various reasons, gets diminished until, like every season finale, it’s just Ladybug and Chat Noir against the world
- Though there are a number of possibilities I see for the cliffhanger, the one that I keep thinking is that Marinette gets Akumatized caused by a combination of feelings of rejection, betrayal (by Alya and/or Luka), and being overwhelmed, drawing a full circle to the start of the season
This is all I have for now, sorry it’s so long! This all being said I have no idea what the rest of the season holds and based on the way the finale in particular has been hyped up I am simultaneously scared and excited
