History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS01E21Pixelator

* TooDumbToLive: Given that akumatixed people have attacked before, you'd think that Chloe would A) realize that Pixelator is probably akumatized and B) stay as far away from him as possible. Instead, she lets him take her picture.

* VillainOverride: [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS01E09TheEvillustrator Once again]], Hawk Moth is forced to take control of his victim to remind them of their goal. This time, he's a lot more forceful about it, causing considerable pain and doing so more than once to make the point.

-->'''Jaggged Stone:''' He has come to everyone of my shows this year. He also send me stacks of letters, gone trough my trash, he even followed my mother to her weekly bingo night. \\

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Ivan and Alix are pillow-fighting in Chloé's room. They stop when the workers and Sabrina catch onto them.

* ShoutOut: Scene meets Pixelator is similar to one from ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''

* BrokenStreak: In an inversion of the usual pattern, Hawk Moth's defeat rant happens first, followed by Ladybug's WorldHealingWave and then her purifying the akuma. The latter two are justified, as Ladybug would have had a hard time of the last one with only one leg and her non-dominant hand.

* PairTheSpares: Minor characters Mireille Caquet ([[MiraculousLadybugS01E01StormyWeather Aurore's rival]]) and Theo Barbeau ([[MiraculousLadybugS01E03Copycat ex-Copycat]]) are seen embracing each other when trapped in Pixelator's picture.

'''Marinette:''' Eh, not really. It's just a bunch of elderly ladies getting together and having fun.

* ShoutOut: Scene meets Pixelator is similar to one from {{Terminator}}

[[caption-width-right:350:Look into the Lens…]]

* TheAllSolvingHammer: Cat Noir's Cataclysm frees everyone from the PrisonDimension easily.

* BadBadActing: Tikki is forced to pretend she's a cat when a civilian spots her and Marinette talking out in the open.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Adrien can't transform into Cat Noir with Chloé around him in the pixelated dimension, and forgets that Pixelator can shoot anyone into his prison.

* {{Improv}}: Tikki is forced to pretend she's a cat when a civilian spots her while talking to Marinette.

* OhNoNotAgain: Cat Noir says this word for word when he gets sent to the PrisonDimension again.

* OutOfOrder: This episode clearly takes place before "Darkblade", "Kung Food", "Antibug" and "Guitar Villain" because André has no idea who Jagged Stone is, and everyone acts like this is the first time they have seen him, or the first time he has met Ladybug. The most obvious example is that in "Guitar Villain", the previous episode in broadcast order, Jagged Stone wants Marinette to design his cover because he loves the glasses she made him. This episode shows her making the glasses.

* ShoutOut: The idea of trapping people in a camera is similar to the way Tori was trapped in ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'', only without a clone to take their place.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Ladybug's arm and leg get pixellated.

* CharacterDevelopment: At first it seems Jagged doesn't treat people who serve him well, given he snaps at Andre for thinking Fang needs a bubble bath and chewing out Marinette for not getting the glasses he wants. By the end of the episode, however, he offers himself as a HeroicSacrifice to buy Ladybug time, wears the glasses that Marinette designs, and offers four concert tickets; one is for Marinette as a reward for her hard work.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Adrien can't transform into Cat Noir with Chloé around him in the pixelated dimension, and forgot that Pixelator can shoot anyone into his prison.

** Adrien when he recognizes Pixelator as an akuma who targets Chloe.

* {{Squee}: Marinette's reaction when hearing that Jagged Stone wrote a song for Ladybug.

!!This Episode provides examples of:

* AnArmAndALeg: Non-amputation, of course. Ladybug's right arm and leg get pixelated by the Pixelator during her battles with him, causing her to lose her touch in battle.

* BackForTheDead: Adrien returns and transforms into Cat Noir to help Ladybug... only for him to get shot and trapped back into the PrisonDimension.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Ladybug shows her frustration over this when she can't use her Yo-Yo with her incapacitated right hand. She uses her nose to press the buttons instead.

** Also with how Ladybug wins: Hawk Moth rants, she yells out "Miraculous Ladybug!" and captures and frees the akuma, all in that order, rather than the usual way.

* {{Retcon}}: In the flashback shown in "Guitar Villian", Marinette gives Jagged Stone the glasses directly while he's in the elevator, here she gives them instead to Penny outside of Jagged Stone's room.
* ShoutOut:
** The idea of trapping people in a camera is similar to the way Tori was trapped in Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm, only without a clone to take their place.
