History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS03E14Kwamibuster

* AbsenteeActor: Unlike all the other Miraculous spotlight episodes, Mullo, the mouse kwami, is barely seen and never speaks. Mullo will probably get more characterization when a proper Mouse hero is introduced.

* CuttingTheKnot: Ladybug uses an elaborate Fox illusion and the power of all the available Miraculous to convince Cat Noir that she isn't a student at Collège Françoise Dupont. Cat Noir manages the same thing by just by pretending not to know what kind of school it is.

** Kwamibuster is most definitely an homage to the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}. A character dressed in a somewhat plumber-esque costume, determined to prove the existence of supernatural creatures, and both wield blasters that fire plasma beams in a wave formation. Cat Noir also uses a couple lines from the first film.

* MesACrowd: Multimouse's ability involves splitting into a bunch of miniature copies of herself.

* WhamEpisode:
** Marinette takes up the Mouse Miraculous and becomes Multimouse.
** While she doesn't activate all of them, Marinette wields '''every. Single.''' Available Miraculous in the Miracle Box (leaving just the Turtle Miraculous, which is still on Master Fu's wrist). A grand total of '''''sixteen'''''.[[note]]All twelve Zodiac Miraculous, the Fox, Bee, Ladybug and Cat Miraculous.[[/note]] Master Fu notes that no one else has ever wielded so many at once.
** The game-changing rule that neither heroic partner can learn the other's secret identity without both losing their Miraculous is introduced (as a retcon).

* ClippedWingAngel: While wearing multiple Miraculous grants the wielder access to a variety of abilities, it also appears to take a massive strain on the body. Marinette is winded just by wearing the Miraculous. She takes some of the strain off by using Multimouse's powers to split herself into several copies so she's not wearing more than two at a time, and using the kwamis as transport so she doesn't wear herself out getting there, but even so she can barely walk by the end.

* TheRealSpoofbusters: The eponymous akumatized science teacher Ms. Mendeleiev, disgraced by disbelief of her claims of invisible on camera, intangible, supernatural creatures. She gets a backpack and nozzle that shoots out a beam that sucks them in.

* AbsenteeActor: Unlike all the other Miraculous spotlight episodes, Mullo, the mouse kwami, is barely seen and never speaks. [[spoiler:Mullo will probably get more characterisation when they become active when new more permament Mouse hero is introduced.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: Ms. Mendeleiev - a ''science'' teacher - thinking that a trashy game show on which both the other contestants are [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} cloudcuckoolanders]] is an appropriate forum to go public with a discovery that would turn established science on its head if proven.

* WhatAnIdiot: Ms. Mendeleiev - a ''science'' teacher - thinking that a trashy game show with other contestants who are Cloudcuckoolanders is an appropriate forum to go public with a discovery that would turn established science on its head if proven.

* CassandraTruth: People rather believe that the pyramids are alien spaceships and snow is boogers from a giant living in the clouds than that Kwamis exist.

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: After Ms. Mendeleiev shows her drawings of Tikki and Plagg, Marinette comes to the conclusion that Cat Noir goes to the same school as her and probably suspects the same thing of Ladybug. Adrien comes to a similar conclusion, and they both go out of their way to throw the other off about their own identity.

* TheSwarm: While they don't attack her, all of the kwamis Marinette selected charged at Kwamibuster to distract her for long enough for Multimouse to enact her plan and also purposefully get caught to defeat her.

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: After Tikki and Plagg are captured, Marinette goes to Master Fu for a new Miraculous. Not only does she grab every other available Miraculous (bar the Turtle), but she manages to use them effectively in a Trojan Horse Gambit. Furthermore, she manages to throw off Adrian by detransforming in front of him as Multimouse to hand over the Mouse Miraculous to Ladybug.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Plagg's hunger for aged cheese nearly got kwamis exposed in this episode. Tikki's attempts to stop him clue their owners in to the fact that both go to the same school, which they then have to explain away as to avoid exposing their secret identities.
