overworkedunderwhelmed:

I very much doubt that Marinette will actually end up akumatized…especially after her near miss in Zombiezou and especially so early into the new season. It doesn’t hurt that we also see her fighting with Chat Noir and Chameleon later in the promo.

Assuming she is successfully able to dodge, with as much as a planner as Marinette is, I can’t help but wonder if she’s actually going to have a conversation with Chat Noir about just how close she’s come to falling prey to an Akuma.

The big question is whether she would do that as Marinette or as Ladybug. Trying it as Ladybug would be risky for obvious reasons because he might be able to put the pieces together. But trying to broach the topic with him as Marinette is unlikely unless he reaches out first.

So maybe – just maybe – if Marinette is not able to save herself here, then maybe Adrien comes around at just the right time to help send that Akuma flying…

And leaves a curious kitty to seek Marinette out on his own time…
