* AbusiveParents: Adrien comes to the painful realization that both of his parents have been controlling him with his amok for ''years''.
** As in canon Felix's father is this. Unfortunately for Felix, he's been SparedByTheAdaptation and thus is still able to abuse him.
* BrokenPedestal: Adrien quickly loses his respect for his father after learning he's Monarch. When he learns he threatened to snap Felix out of existence, he's not even surprised, just bitter.
** His trust in both of his parents shatters after they try to control him, before they realize they no longer have his Amok. He doubts he'll ever be able to trust them again, despite Nathalie advising him to give them time.
* AdaptationalBadass: Void, Cat Noir's new akumatized form. While he's only in that form for about a minute, per Monarch's words he can destroy thoughts as well as physical objects.
* CuttingTheKnot: Discussed and ultimately averted. Marinette, knowing that Monarch will target Chat Noir's bell from her experience with Chat Blanc, considers breaking it before he is fully akumatized in the hopes it will prevent it from happening all together but fears she'd ultimately do more harm than good and instead just breaks it the moment the akumatization is complete.
