History Awesome / MiraculousLadybug

* Hawk Moth introduces himself via a HugeHolographicHead made of butterflies, demanding Ladybug and Cat Noir turn over their Miraculous. [[spoiler:Ladybug tells him off by catching and purifying the entire swarm.]]

[[AC: Rise! Ladybug Part 1]]
* [[spoiler: Alya establishes herself quickly when she stands up for Marinette against Chloe despite being a new girl at school.]]

[[AC Rise! Ladybug Part 1]]
* Alya establishes herself quickly when she stands up for Marinette against Chloe despite being a new girl at school.

* Reflekta already ''knew'' Ladybug's plan to swipe her akuma. She sends in André as a decoy, acting just like any villain would, and when their guards are down, she prepares to [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp]] Ladybug and the already-transformed Cat Noir. The one thing she wasn't counting on, however, was that she already transformed Cat Noir, he [[TakingTheBullet takes a shot]] meant for Ladybug and doesn't get affected, [[NoSell not at all.]]

* [[AlphaBitch Chloé steals Marinette's derby hat design]]. Does Alya try and handle it? No. [[BadassNormal Marinette casually exposes Chloé for stealing her design]] with proof, causing Chloe to [[BreakTheCutie completely lose it and run away crying]]. Best of all, [[TranquilFury despite presenting in front of Adrien and his father, she did not crack once.]]

* Cat Noir deserves some credit for continuing to fight even after he'd been hit by Reflekta's conversion powers. He's without any of his powers, and in heels that he can barely walk in, and he still proves to be just as useful to Ladybug in helping her defeat Reflekta.

* The photographer gets points for shutting down Chloe's attempt at [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections to force him to put her in the same row as Adrien]], not even caring what she has to say after she states that her father isn't a photographer aside from remarking he could use an assistant. He then tells her to get into position or he'll make her sit in the front row where she claimed only "children" should sit.

* Marinette resisting Manon's PuppyDogEyes at the end, after falling for them at the beginning of the episode.

* Marinette as Ladybug and vice-versa shows just how much of a pain Chloé is to both her alter egos after being forced to take a Selfie with her, finding out she was, [[LampshadeHanging once again the reason for someone being akumatized,]], and getting everyone she takes advantage of to ditch her.

* Ladybug finds herself cornered, and her Lucky Charm is a power cord. What does she do to turn the battle in her favor? [[ImprovisedWeapon Use the power cord as a second yo-yo]] and [[DualWielding dual-wield against Lady [=WiFi=], Cat Noir, Rogercop and the Evillustrator]]! She manages to turn everyone against one another, first by getting Rogerop to restrain the Evillustrator, giving her what she needs to throw them into Lady [=WiFi=]. And just before The Puppeteer can take control of Ladybug, she [[HoistByHisOwnPetard uses Lady [=WiFi=]'s runes to freeze her]], incapacitating everyone. The way she casually walks by and destroys the Akuma is the icing on the cake.

** Chat/Adrien also gets props for not generalizing his hurt about the way his own father treats him and showing a clear desire to set things right, even if part of him probably feels that his own father deserves the Bubbler's actions.

* After Hawk Moth gives his deal to Manon, he usually tells her to collect the Miraculouses. Instead, Manon already ''knows'' about them, and she gives Ladybug and Cat Noir a hell of a hard time.
** Credit to Manon in General for being the youngest one to become a villain.

* Lucky Charm vs Anti-Charm. And it shows why Antibug was a "cheap copy" of the original Ladybug since Lucky Charm was a bag of marbles and Anti-Charm was a {{BFS}}. Antibug loses the Anti-Charm in a matter of minutes, thanks to Cat, while Ladybug with Cat's help weaponizes the marbles to make Antibug slip and give her an opportunity to swipe her akuma.

* This episode was a big TheDogBitesBack moment for Chloé. After having enough of her for about sixteen episodes, Sabrina becomes [[BeCarefulWhatYouSay The Invisible One after Chloé calls her invisible]] and makes her life a living hell. Sabrina even came ''this'' close to getting the Miraculouses, by [[CuttingTheKnot simply lifting Ladybug's earrings]] while invisible.
* Ladybug finally showing Chloé that she's just about had it with her brattiness and LeeroyJenkisn tendencies by tossing Chloé into an elevator and telling her to quit getting in her way.

* Lucky Charm vs Anti-Charm.

* Meta-wise, ''Miraculous Ladybug'' showing their main female protagonist as a skilled gamer, with having Adrien and Max acknowledge it.

* Chloé wants to do anything to take Marinette down. When she wrongly accuses her of stealing her bracelet, she orders Officer Roger (Sabrina's Father) to arrest her. It leads to first Tom [[GoThroughMe defending her daughter]], followed by Officer Roger refusing to arrest Marinette, followed by Chloé telling her dad, the ''Mayor'', of all people, ordering him to do it. Officer Roger ''still'' refuses to arrest Marinette, and, keep in mind, that [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu he's not backing down from two of the most powerful people in Paris]]. Yeah, this leads to him getting fired and turned evil, but it takes guts to stand up to people like these.

* Like The Pharaoh, [=RogerCop=] easily dispatches of Ladybug and Cat Noir during their first battle. He even made it clear that Chloé was not that much important to her by ignoring every plea she made. He only turned his attention to her when using her to make André give him charge of the police, and using them to try and capture Ladybug and Cat Noir.

'''Nathaniel/The Evillustrator:''' You like to walk all over other people, but you don't like it when [[HoistByHisOwnPetard others trample on you]], do you, Chloé? ''Do'' you?!

* Alya thinks she will find out who Ladybug is with the textbook she found. While not looking, Marinette casually pockets it back, all without drawing attention to herself.
