Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir 5x16

1. In the daytime, I'm Marinette.

2. Just a normal girl with a normal life.

3. But there's something about me that no one knows yet.

4. 'Cause I've got a secret.

5. Here. You need to hydrate more, you know.

6. Thanks.

7. It's time. I'm sorry. I have to go meet the others.

8. You don't have to apologize.

9. It's not your fault that Marinette hates me for no reason.

10. Just go.

11. I admire you so much, you know?

12. I don't know how you do it.

13. I, too, was in love with a boy once.

14. When he didn't wanna see me anymore, I was in pain for so long.

15. I couldn't get him out of my head.

16. But you managed to turn your love for Adrien into a friendship.

17. You even helped Marinette get closer to him.

18. If it hadn't been for your big heart,

19. none of what's happening today would be happening today.

20. You're so perfect, Kagami.

21. I'm proud to have you as my best friend.

22. Best friend? Really?

23. Mm-hmm.

24. That's it. You both finally know you're in love with each other.

25. Under normal circumstances, that would have been a done deal long ago.

26. But since you two lovebirds are the most awkward—

27. I mean, the shiest kids on earth,

28. Marc and I thought you could use a little kick in the a—

29. A little help.

30. Our plan is to help you live out a magical moment

31. that will make you wanna kiss each other

32. without needing to say a word.

33. So we've reserved a pod on the Ferris wheel just for the two of you.

34. The place will be magical.

35. Your pod is programmed to stop at the exact moment

36. the sun sets over the city.

37. The view will be magical.

38. There, pigeons trained by Mr. Ramier

39. will release rose petals to rain all around you.

40. The moment will be magical.

41. - But I'm allergic to pigeons. - There's no risk since you'll be in a pod.

42. A pod streaming Kitty Section's romantic music live!

43. Even the sound will be magical!

44. - It'll finally be kissy time! - Magic!

45. A camera will allow us to make sure

46. that everything's going according to plan.

47. The magic of the kiss!

48. And that way, you'll have a photo of your first kiss.

49. And from there...

50. Ta-da! Perfect love for life!

51. But I can't kiss him.

52. I mean, of course I want to kiss him,

53. but I haven't even been able to tell him that I love him yet.

54. Can't I just hold his hand for starters?

55. But that's just it.

56. If you kiss, you won't have to tell him.

57. Kissing is a miracle cure for all your problems.

58. A kiss can wake a princess and bring her back to life!

59. It makes the birds sing and the squirrels dance.

60. So you two just turn off your brains, follow the comic book,

61. kiss each other, and that's it.

62. End of the show. Everything is magically sorted out.

63. Hence the name "Magic Kiss."

64. I'm not so sure. What are you basing that on?

65. Just about every fairy tale, shojo manga, and Hollywood romantic comedy ever.

66. Oh. And it works in real life too? Who knew?

67. But what if I need to get out?

68. What if Marinette wants to leave?

69. I wouldn't want her to feel cornered or pressured into anything.

70. That's the whole idea of the magic kiss.

71. You can't escape it. You can't escape destiny!

72. Oh, I don't know.

73. Can't we just wait for things to happen in their own time?

74. If you're waiting for Adrien to do something,

75. then you can be certain nothing will happen.

76. One, two, three.

77. Stop, stop!

78. Nino, have you never touched a guitar before?

79. Uh, no, dude. This is my very first time.

80. Well, then why did you replace Luka?

81. It didn't look so hard when he was playing it.

82. It's no big deal. It's okay. Stay focused.

83. You can do this!

84. Kiss in nine, eight, seven—

85. Can we get off now?

86. No!

87. Three, two...

88. One!

89. That's okay. We'll find something else.

90. Don't bother. It's not you, it's me.

91. I don't have the magic in me!

92. - More tea? - Don't change the subject, Gabriel-san.

93. Why are you so anxious to move up the date of the Diamonds Ball?

94. Oh, it's just a scheduling issue.

95. Your lies show an unacceptable lack of respect.

96. I'm not lying.

97. Your heart beats louder than a taiko drum. Why do you want to move up the date?

98. Because I don't have much time left.

99. I've always seen Marinette acting funny in my presence.

100. I thought that was just the way she was.

101. I thought it was sweet. I thought it was just her charm.

102. But now that I know it's because she loves me

103. and she freaks out about telling me, I feel bad,

104. 'cause it means this whole time, she's been uncomfortable around me

105. and I haven't done anything to help her.

106. But you didn't know.

107. Doesn't take away from her suffering.

108. I wish she could feel more at ease when she's with me.

109. Otherwise, one day it'll be too late and she'll give up.

110. What can I do to help, Adrien?

111. Thanks. But it's not up to you or anyone else to help.

112. I'm the one who's gotta do something.

113. I know everyone wants to see us happy together,

114. but it's putting a lot of pressure on us.

115. The important thing is that we feel good when we're together, right?

116. I'd do anything to make that happen.

117. Looks like your doubts are finally gone.

118. Yes, Kagami. I'm ready.

119. Made for each other. Just as planned.

120. Perfection calls for perfection.

121. - What are you doing? - I'm gonna prepare a special picnic

122. for the two of us.

123. No friends around, no outside pressure. And I'm inviting Marinette right now.

124. Hopefully she can be herself and finally open her heart and soul to me,

125. free of her fears.

126. You've changed, Adrien.

127. Thanks to you, Kagami.

128. Marinette is a very lucky girl.

129. A message from Adrien.

130. Oh, no. It was just a matter of time.

131. After last night, he's finally figured out how pathetic I really am

132. and he's calling it quits.

133. Marinette, you have to take things as they are,

134. not the way you think they're going to be.

135. Read the message.

136. - Oh! - So, what does it say?

137. He's inviting me over to his home. Just the two of us.

138. What should I wear? How should I greet him?

139. Kiss him on the cheek or shake his hand?

140. What if there are awkward silences that need to be filled?

141. Oh, I'm never gonna have time to prepare any talking points!

142. Marinette.

143. Right, Tikki. No more complicated plans.

144. I have to take things as they are. I'm not gonna plan anything.

145. In fact, I'm not even gonna change my clothes.

146. But, Marinette, you're wearing your pajamas.

147. Mm. Well, precisely.

148. If he really loves me, he'll love me in my pajamas too.

149. All of our plans are falling apart. You were supposed to control your son.

150. And you, your daughter.

151. My daughter is so perfect, she doesn't need me to control her.

152. Well, it appears she does.

153. It's not my child who is falling for someone completely wrong for her.

154. But she seems to be the one encouraging him.

155. Take control of your son, and she'll have nothing left to encourage.

156. Organize the dance as soon as possible.

157. Don't fail capturing Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

158. It is imperative that this situation be resolved before you... leave.

159. Kagami, we're going.

160. I didn't know you and Kagami weren't seeing each other anymore.

161. You were such a perfect couple. It's a shame.

162. Kagami's perfect, but not perfect for me.

163. You underestimate yourself.

164. You and Kagami are of the same design.

165. I just feel better with Marinette.

166. You're clinging to Marinette because her mediocrity allows you

167. to shine with less effort, but you're better than that.

168. There's no one better than Marinette, Dad.

169. If only you knew her. She's generous, funny, creative, brave.

170. Mom told me how you met. You two came from different worlds,

171. but that didn't stop you from loving each other.

172. Why shouldn't it be the same for Marinette and me?

173. Adrien, I'm your father.

174. I know what's best for you better than you do.

175. That is why I'm forbidding you to have any relationship with Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

176. I know I disappointed you, Mother,

177. but much to my regret, love cannot be controlled.

178. Don't try to convince me that you don't love him anymore.

179. He loves Marinette, and Marinette is my friend.

180. Some knots can't be undone.

181. When the knot cannot be undone, the samurai cuts right through it.

182. You're not gonna let your father tell you what to do, are you?

183. What do you want me to do, Plagg? He's my father.

184. "I'm sorry, you can't come. I can't talk to you."

185. Are you gonna be okay?

186. It's probably because his father wouldn't allow it again.

187. We'll see each other some other time.

188. Nothing to worry about at all.

189. You have to take things as they are.

190. Father forbids any relationship with Marinette.

191. But how am I supposed to do that when we're in the same class?

192. Hmm.

193. Adrien, listen to me.

194. When it comes to your love life,

195. you're free to decide whatever you want to do.

196. Don't let anyone else tell you how to act. Not now, not ever.

197. You're right, Nathalie. I don't know what came over me.

198. Ah! He's available again.

199. See? He's acting completely random. He's perfect for me.

200. You're right. It doesn't change a thing whether I worry or not.

201. So why worry? Come on, let's go.

202. Since we're back home, why don't you get changed before we leave?

203. No way, Tikki. What if it breaks the magic of the moment?

204. You start putting on socks,

205. next thing you know you're making foolish plans all over again.

206. I've decided that I'd be in my pajamas, so pajamas it is.

207. Ah.

208. Shh.

209. Thank you.

210. I forgot something.

211. - Don't go anywhere. - Mm.

212. Huh?

213. It's better this way.

214. Wow.

215. - Adrien, what's in there? - Take a look.

216. Wow!

217. Uh, maybe you would rather watch a movie?

218. You're kidding, right?

219. - Oh! - Gotcha!

220. Yes!

221. Nathalie.

222. You gave Adrien a counterorder?

223. The power you have over Adrien doesn't mean you can go that far.

224. You were right, Nathalie.

225. My mother would like me to get closer to Adrien.

226. I think I've fallen in love with him again.

227. But I don't wanna cause them any hurt.

228. They're my friends, and they're obviously meant to be together.

229. I feel so weak for being a victim of my own feelings.

230. It must be so hard.

231. But just know that I'll always be here for you.

232. Oh, I'm sorry. Someone tried to call me. I have to call them back.

233. Mr. Agreste, I was just about to call you.

234. You were supposed to be keeping an eye on my son.

235. Most importantly, protecting him from toxic people

236. like this Marinette Dupain-Cheng!

237. Things are already in motion, sir.

238. I believe you know Kagami Tsurugi?

239. This young lady needs to be perfect so badly

240. that she sees any emotion she might be feeling as weakness,

241. and it's devastating every time.

242. So much so that she's already fallen prey to Monarch more than once.

243. What does this have to do with me?

244. Kagami is in love with your son.

245. This whole story with Marinette and Adrien is breaking her heart.

246. Monarch will probably turn her into a super villain soon.

247. If Marinette and Adrien learn that their love was hurting their friend,

248. it would poison their relationship in the end.

249. What a sad situation, don't you think?

250. All that's left to do is wait then?

251. Exactly, just wait.

252. I'm sorry. That was my mother,

253. she couldn't remember where she'd put her—

254. Aw.

255. I wish I didn't have to tell you this,

256. but I can't stand to see you suffer like this anymore.

257. You can't attach so much importance to your friendship with Marinette.

258. She doesn't feel the same way.

259. I know this, because I have been through such similar pain myself.

260. What are you talking about? Marinette isn't like that.

261. She's the nicest girl I know.

262. She's always trying to help others.

263. That's what she got me to believe too, at first, until I finally opened my eyes.

264. If you look closely, it's not Marinette helping everyone else.

265. It's everyone helping Marinette.

266. She pretends to be weak in order to take advantage of all of you.

267. As a result, you all feel like you have to help her.

268. Poor Adrien. Since you two are no longer a couple,

269. he's got no one to protect him.

270. He too, has fallen into her clutches without realizing it.

271. Don't you think it's weird that Marinette only ever stutters,

272. face plants, acts all uncomfortable in front of Adrien?

273. That's because from the beginning, she set her eyes on him.

274. With people as perfect as you and Adrien, things are bound to work.

275. You are the ones who should be together. You're the ones who belong together.

276. There's no way. I need to talk to Marinette.

277. Don't waste your time.

278. Manipulators like her always manage to lie their way out of trouble,

279. and of course, Adrien would stand up for her.

280. Toxic people like that are dangerous,

281. and you just need to get as far away from them as possible as soon as you can.

282. I know it's terrible, but there's nothing else we can do.

283. Lila Rossi was right.

284. Kagami's emotions are powerful.

285. Luckily, I have just the recipe to reconcile her.

286. Oh, Kagami, no! You mustn't let yourself get so upset.

287. Not you. You're too perfect.

288. Riposte Prime, I am Monarch.

289. To help you take revenge, I am giving you back your powers.

290. But this time, to help you cut through the veil of lies,

291. I am also giving you an extra weapon.

292. Wayzz! Your power is now mine.

293. Transfer.

294. I am entrusting you with the essence of the Miraculous of Protection.

295. What good's a sword without a shield?

296. It's time to unmask Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

297. What do you see in that one?

298. - A horse. - Mm.

299. How about that one?

300. Uh...

301. Mm.

302. Are you sure you're ready?

303. Yes.

304. Mm.

305. I've never admired the clouds in my pajamas with anyone before.

306. Is it always this amazing?

307. Adrien, I—

308. How convenient.

309. All that awkwardness,

310. all of that hesitation that made you so charming.

311. The moment you get what you want, they disappear.

312. - Kagami? - No, I am Riposte Prime.

313. Ha!

314. Adrien, move away from that liar, right now.

315. Kagami, we've talked about this.

316. Marinette's finally less afraid now.

317. You pathetic, naive fool.

318. You were too weak to take the initiative when it came to loving me,

319. but now you're ready and willing.

320. Would you have gone this far if it weren't for her little act?

321. Another chump who tried to protect Marinette

322. and is now paying the price.

323. Hide there. I'll get help.

324. Too late.

325. Kagami, what's happened to you?

326. There has to be some misunderstanding.

327. If I hurt you without realizing it, tell me.

328. I'll do anything to make it up to you.

329. You're good. You almost had me fooled again.

330. Run, Marinette!

331. Stay here, my sweet Adrien.

332. I'm going to take care of Marinette

333. and stop her from hurting everyone else around her.

334. Uh?

335. And then we can finally be happy again. You and me.

336. No!

337. Marinette, you really are a great actress.

338. Kagami, listen.

339. Never again!

340. We've gotta bring Kagami to her senses.

341. Plagg, claws out!

342. In here, your little puppy eyes won't fool anyone anymore.

343. Turn into Ladybug. Maybe your lucky charm will help you get out of this prison.

344. But then everyone will know that Marinette is Ladybug.

345. I'm stuck.

346. - Cat Noir! - Kagami,

347. we've been on the same side before.

348. You used the Miraculous of the Dragon as Ryuko.

349. Trust me, put the sword down.

350. Don't try to manipulate me.

351. Kitty, I know you can't hear me, but do what you usually do.

352. Cataclysm before you think, and it'll be perfect.

353. Please, please, please, pretty please.

354. Cataclysm!

355. Oh, thank you, Cat Noir. I was so scared.

356. - Get to safety. - No!

357. Tikki, spots on!

358. Lucky Charm!

359. Olive oil?

360. - Hi, Kitty Cat. - M'Lady, just in time!

361. There's no honor in defending a liar.

362. We already saved that girl before. She can't be what you say she is.

363. Cat Noir is right. You're mistaken.

364. You can't pretend to know someone you just crossed paths with.

365. I know her better than you do!

366. How about a well-oiled baseball game.

367. Hey. She ruined our fun.

368. No more evil doing for you, Megakuma.

369. Time to "de-evilize"!

370. Gotcha!

371. Bye-bye, little butterfly.

372. Miraculous Ladybug!

373. Kagami, take this magical cha—

374. It won't solve my problems.

375. Mm.

376. Uh, Cat Noir, I have an urgent appointment.

377. I'll leave you to it. Thanks. Bug out!

378. Well, uh, bye then?

379. Hmm?

380. Kagami! Ah.

381. Uh...

382. Uh, well, I'll leave you to it then.

383. What happened to you, Kagami?

384. Please forgive me, Marinette.

385. Even though you lied to me and manipulated me,

386. that did not give me the right to attack you like I did.

387. Huh? Why do you think I would do that all of a sudden?

388. I thought we were friends.

389. Lila opened my eyes.

390. Lila?

391. Look, I don't know what she told you, but—

392. She warned me that you'd always manipulate your way out with lies.

393. Then maybe you'll listen to me.

394. Marinette's not a liar or a manipulator.

395. She's brave, generous. She listens to others.

396. Unlike Lila, her actions prove it every day,

397. and that's why I love her.

398. I'm sure deep down you can feel it too.

399. I'm sorry. I let my emotions get the better of me again

400. and cloud my judgment.

401. I'm so weak. Please forgive me.

402. Don't try to push your emotions away.

403. Look them in the eye. Acknowledge them.

404. Figure out what they're trying to tell you

405. and turn them into energy to move forward.

406. That's real strength. Love yourself the way you are.

407. Just like we love you the way you are.

408. I love you both!

409. I truly wish you two being in love wasn't so painful to me, but it is.

410. We're sorry.

411. It's not your fault.

412. Want to try again?

413. I'm going to head home. You're not mad, right?

414. I understand. It's all right.

415. We have all the time in the world.

416. Mm.

417. The worm is in the fruit.

418. It's only a matter of time before their relationship becomes spoiled.

419. Why don't you find another partner for your son,

420. so you can control him better?

421. I'll think about it.

422. Oh, Kagami, I was so scared for you.

423. - All because of that horrible Mari— - Quiet.

424. I'm going to try to tell you how I feel as best I can.

425. I don't know why you think these things about Marinette.

426. I think you're wrong about her. I love Marinette.

427. I love you too.

428. I'll still be your friend if your friendship is genuine,

429. but you won't use me against her.

430. I am not a puppet.

431. Of course I'm being genuine with you.

432. I'm sorry if I ever led you to believe

433. that I was trying to turn you against Marinette.

434. That was never my intention.

435. I just wanted to share my feelings with an open heart with my best friend.

436. Mm.
