Awesome / Raise Your Voice Against Liars

• The entirety of Adrien's Persona Awakening. After unknowingly following the Thieves to the Metaverse out of concern for their safety despite how they treated him, he ends up detransformed and at the mercy of Shadow Gabriel. However, the sheer rage of finding out his father is Hawkmoth spurs him into instantly awakening to his Persona, with just the awakening itself releasing a blast so powerful it knocks back both all the shadows surrounding him and the Phantom Thieves! He then proceeds to dispose of the Contigive version of himself in two blows, easily clearing the horde of Shadows by himself, and would have killed his Father's Shadow right there had he not stopped to yell at him. For the final piece in Adrien's character development of not being spineless, it did not disappoint.
  • His Persona Maccabaeus itself is equally awesome. Wearing black armor that leaves smoke wherever it goes and wielding a massive Warhammer it was intimidating even for the experienced Phantom Thieves.
  • And right after, he massively calls out the Phantom Thieves for never bothering to even try to help him with Gabriel before despite the Parisian ones knowing about his life, and then still not trying to protect him, even after learning that Gabriel was Hawk Moth and had murdered Audrey, rightfully pointing out that his safety wasn’t important to them. This, along with the earlier events, not only shows that Adrien is NOT the push over that allowed Marinette to be nearly bullied to death by Lila anymore, but also forces the others to realize that they held their representatives hold ups against him (Chat Blanc, the whole thing with Lila) for far too long and that Adrien suffered because of their petty behaviour, prompting them to apologize and finally start treating him decently.
