What Are Kwami? 

I honestly love how adrians Kwami literally is the reason Atlantis sunk and an entire planets worth of species went extinct and he still doesn’t think he’s dangerous

I thought that adult miraculous users could use their powers more because they are more *experienced*

I feel like it’s important to note that the transformation phrases are all just “transform me” in the original French so they probably don’t mean anything

Plagg litterly killed every dinosaur.

You forgot the Leaning Tower of Pisa Plagg: “I didnt see it”

The creativity in this show is PHENOMENAL.

Something came to mind when you brought up the illness caused by the peacock miraculous. I think the illness caused by a broken miraculous is basically a form of radiation poisoning. The jewel allows a person to channel the power of a kwami in a safe and stable manner. Being divine/ magical beings it stands to reason that the kwami are sentient bundles of cosmic radiation. So if a person were to use their powers with a broken miraculous it would make sense that the person would be, at least partially, exposed to huge amounts of energy in the form of "magical radiation." This would make sense in regards to Natalee's symptoms. She suffers from dizziness and respiratory distress in the form of a severe cough. Later on she even has trouble standing on her own in the New York special. This indicates that her lungs, circulatory system (heart and blood vessels), and brain/ nervous system have been compromised. These are all the bodily system that are closest to the peacock miraculous when worn by a person. To be specific, wearing the peacock miraculous on the chest would expose the heart, lungs, and brain to "magical radiation" poisoning. Does anyone concur?

Does anyone else find the Kwami's ultra-thin antennae a little hard on the eyes? Is it just me?

Even if the writers of this show sometimes make questionable decisions, with such a complex and creative plot like this, I can’t help but trust that they know exactly what they’re doing. I’m so excited for future seasons and specials.

One could even see all the kwamis as guardian angels

“Flying bug mouse” easy explanation

Awe but can we just talk about how all the Kwamis are so cute and adorable in their own way-

‘ two love struck idiots dancing around each other “ This is literally he best summary of the love square in my opinion.

I just thought that Emellie was the original holder of the Peacock miraculous because Adrien said to Plagg she had ‘dizzy spells’ as well as Natalie. That’s probably why Gabriel Agreste lost Emillie and why he wants Ladybug and Cat noir’s miraculous!

The lure in miraculous ladybug is underrated. The fandom focuses on the shipping too much.

“In the comics” The...what?!

Excellent video! One piece of lore I find interesting is regarding transformation phrases, and weirdly it's dub-specific. The transformation phrase in the French dub is simply 'Kwami's Name + Transform Me', but as people in English-speaking countries know, everyone has a unique one in our dub. However, in the New York special the villain Techno Pirate activates the eagle with the phrase "Wings of Prey" whereas Sparrow/Eagle says "Wings of Liberty". This was confirmed by Thomas Astruc to be an intentional detail. I love this reveal, since all the way back to the season 1 finale where we first hear Gabriel say 'Dark Wings Rise' I thought it sounded weirdly sinister for a magic item system that is SUPPOSED to be used for good. The reveal suggests that there's a system for using the Kwami for evil even if that isn't their main purpose. Maybe there was some kind of split in the Guardians a long time ago?

“In the canon, Kwami’s don’t have parents. They are instead created when an abstract idea or emotion comes into existence.” Saving this for later.

I have a comment to make on why Gabriel’s methods are interesting and unique: I think it’s interesting how Gabriel is creating villains not for a random ‘I want to destroy the world mwhahahaha’ reason, but just as bait for the heros. He doesn’t want the destruction or revenge, he only wants to create something sinister enough to warrant superhero aid. Consequently, here is why his method typically fails. He is reliant on the wishes of his villains, and he can’t totally control them. He bases his akuma off of negative emotions, and they magnify the person’s feelings from there. So in the show, when the miraculous are in reach of hawkmoth, it’s usually the flaring emotions that hawkmoth magnified that get in the way of him recovering what he wants. A specific example would be Reverser. The villain had struck both Lady and Chat, and they were in a vulnerable position. But the strong emotions that Mark/Reverser had for getting revenge on Nath and Mari made him turn away the opportunity to get to his targets first. Basically, when Hawkmoth akumatizes others, he has to wait for them to get their sweet revenge before he can get what he wants. That’s his downfall, because it gives the heros a slot of time to save the day. Gabriel has akumatized himself before, like in the Collector. Once he recognizes the error in his plan, he will surly do it again, with a more direct method of beating the heros. He has become Scarlet Moth before, and he’ll do it again. Now that at the end of Miracle Queen he figured out how to fix the peacock miraculous, he will not be stopped from advancing with full force. The broken miraculous was the only thing truly holding him back. One other thing! I don’t remember who, but another commenter made a good point about ‘magic radiation’ that might come with using a broken miraculous. Because of this point, I think that if the miraculous is fixed, it will only slow Nathalie’s growing sickness, not cure it, because she is already infected. Anyways, those are my predictions and thoughts on the show! Ty for reading :)

1:38 I kept replaying this scene cause plagg using Cataclysm was so cute 😭 How can a little cute paw be so destructive?! 🤣✨

That intro is amazing tho. The kwamis have personalities and i love that

You know I honestly want an episode where chat opens up about his abuse to ladybug or just marrinette because it would really make them closer and explain why chat noir renounced plagg in the special and spread awareness

That intro was put wonderfully together I was vibing with it! Well done!!!

I’ve not watched this show in years O-O things have changed

I like how you go so in-depth with what the kwamis are...

Can you do a theory on who will be paired with the unclamed Kwami and what weapons & powers they might have?

I love this show. Anyone who thinks it’s slow in plot, I can understand your struggle, but fUUUUUck this lore is so goOd

About the "Currently unknown location" where the Temple of Guardians was... It was proably im Tibet. In the Volpina episode, Plagg and Adrien are looking in his dad's office, and he has a book about Tibet. I did some research, and it makes sense geographically too.

How did she manage to incorrectly pronounce marinette’s name when they literally say it all the time in the show

i really hope to see more impressive feats from Cat Noir in future episodes. I know that Ladybug is the main character but most of the time it feels like Cat Noir doesn't even need to be there.

the transformation phrases are something from the English dub , because in French they just say transform me.

Gabriel: it was a joke nooroo Me: AWWWWW GABRIELS FIRST JOKE awwwww

something to note is that it seems there are also “evil” transformation phrases because in the new york special, Liiri responded to the phrases “Liiri wings of prey” and “Liiri wings of liberty”

3:24 plagg came into the world when the big bang happend because he is the kawami of destruction

That moment when you're bored and get the notification lol

kwami are literally zodiac creatures

I love kwamis they are so adorable and they remind me of guardian characters from shugo chara.

Adrien is so oblivious just like Luz how sweet

one little thing about the phrases, in french the transformation phrase is "Kwami name, transforme moi" basically transform me. The claws out, spots on, let's pounce is an english thing to embellish the transformation. The only transformation that has broken the transforme moi in french is Pigella's in which Rose uses the phrase "Daizzi, alegrá" which translates to Daizzi, Rejoice or Cheer Up.

I have discovered the big link between akumitized villains and which Kwamis they will get. Alya is a journalist ( recently not very good one) when she was akumitized into Lady WiFi she became obsessed with the truth trying to break illusions. Later she got the fox which is the Kwami of illusion. Twisting the truth. Nino became bubbler because he wanted to protect kids from over controlling adults and he got wayzz the Kwami of protection. It’s even more symbolic with Chloé. She wants to change but do to her parents she stuck. Paralyzed. Queen wasp allowed her to unlock that change. And the bee Kwami paralyzes

The one question no one has really answered for me is how Gabriel got the miraculous

Adrien and Plagg's bond. Healthy. Marinette and Tikki's bond. Somewhat healthy. Natalie and Duusu's bond. Somewhat healthy. Gabriel and Nooroo's bond. Unhealthy. Alya and Trixx's bond. Healthy ish. Nino and Wayzz"s bond. Healthy. Master Fu and Wayzz'a bond. Pretty healthy. Alix and Fluff's bond. Healthy ish. Chloe and Pollen's bond. Healthy till Hawkmoth ruined everything so screw him! Max and Kaalki's bond. Healthy. Luka and Sass's bond. Healthy. Kagami and Longg's bond. Healthy. Kim and Xuppu's bond. Healthy.

1:36 plagg is best kwami hands down lol. not only for his powers BUT FOR HIS PERSONALITY TOO

Thought I'd leave a meme here Nooroo (Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste's Kwamii): M- Master, The Butterfly Miraculous is not to be used for evil Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste: Nooroo, remind me of its powers Nooroo: It can give powers to those going through Anger or Sadness Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste: and whats its transformation quote Nooroo: ...Dark Wings Rise...

Quick thought for the time limits on younger Heros. The jewels of the miraculous limit and focus the power of a kwamii. Could the age of a holder vary the amount of restrictions on the magic as a safety measure. We've also see that just wearing more that 3 miraculous causes exhaustion.

Fan Theory: Adrien is the Hawkmoth of the future.

This confirms that Plagg really did killed the dinosaurs And not the asteriod

THE INTRO OMG I CANT STOP RE-WATCHING IM SO NOT LYING

Something I find interesting is Natalies transformation line. As seen in the NY special with the hawk miraculous and the butterfly miraculous when being used for evil the transformation line changes. Natalie’s line is just “Spread my feathers” which has zero signs of evil. I think this is because she just wants to help Gabriel and his son be happy again. Then again this could be nothing since in the french version they all have the same transformation line.

"transform quickly" the holders taking there time

The phrase to transformation is only for the English dub. In French (the original dub) it is always "Transformez moi", which means "Transform me", so it really doesn't have any importance in the show.

When I saw a glimpse of Luka transforming: This video's awesome!

Is it me or does Plagg look kinda cute

Fun fact: in french, the transformation phrases to every kwami is: (kwami name) transform me".

I really want to see a collaboration with you and cartoon apocalypse I think that would be a very good video since you both know a lot about MLB

I'd love to see a video from you that goes over the transformation words, the miraculous powers, the kwami and what abstract idea they represent, how the the powers act/ work, and the cultural inspiration behind the powers/ kwami.

Ive noticed something in the shang hai special, when fei has her "miraculous" that has the different animals, there's a dragon one and that is also called long, but instead of having a suit she turns into the dragon and still can manipulate objects like water. 🤔🤔

'a silly cartoon about two love struck idiots dancing around eachother endlessly in a love square' -SO ACCURATE OMG to all the teenagers who spend all their time watching this show for 6 year olds (that includes me) this is what your life has become... help....

So are we just not gonna talk about that AMAZING intro of all the transformations ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

10:36 In French they just say “transform me” so I’m assuming the English translation made it so it was more interesting

Duusu! She's so precious!

I loved the inclusion of HOME’s music, he’s one of my favorite artists

What if Plagg was born at the exact time as Tikki?Creation and destruction always and always come together.

Can we talk about how smooth that intro was tho? Nice job 👏 👍 👌 😀

I love how (almost) every transformation starts with the mask

One thing I was always curious about is the uncorrupted use of the butterfly miraculous- is the transformation phrase always 'dark wings rise' or does it change when it becomes corrupted? When being used by 'good guys', does it still use negative emotions, or does it use positive ones to create superheroes that are idk particularly happy that day?

that intro was AMAZING

it’s so cute how happy tikki & plagg act when they’re together 🥰🥰

*i have a question does Tikki Go into one earring? When transforming?*

The begining:SO SATISFYING Also..each time she said “marionette” it just..rlly didn’t seem right

me seeing this video in my reccomend and the first time seeing your channel:oh,this seems like a cool video me when starting to watch the video:already obsessed with the intro

“Does the sinking of Atlas ring any bells?” “I had too much cheese” I love that scene XD

Imagine if marinette was in America and took the salmon miraculous to be a salmon hero

Ooof that intro was epic.

I think the main miraculous’ Ladybug miraculous, cat miraculous, fox, bee, turtle, etc. were the first miraculous’ made. I could be wrong!

I have to point it out. You're intro is legit a hype

there's a kwami for despair There's a kwami for despair THERE'S KWAMI FOR DESPAIR

First off yes I would love to see that second maybe one miraculous for Episode because I would love to know all of them outside of watching the show

Honestly I live the creativity of this show is amazing. I used to think it was aimed at like little kids but wow it has alot of lore damn

Please do more of these kinds of videos, i love watching them!

You know what? "A silly cartoon about two lovestruck idiots dancing around each other endlessly in a love square" sums it up pretty well

yay lias back and with mlb content

the intro for this video was amazing, now i want it on repeat w the akamatizations w that music playing

Honestly, I was only into miraculous because of how interesting kwamis and miraculous are, I kinda wish we could get more backstory about how kwamis and how miraculous are made

I WANT SEASON 4!!!!

0:25 I'm wheezing-

Thanks for summarizing everything! Really cool and informative video ❤🦋

Ok, after watching this, I might start watching this show. This lore is actually fascinating.

Kwamis are kwamis?

There is comics?

great video !! music, content, everything ! ^^

the kwamis and history behind them is my favorite part of the show

The way she says Marinette bothers me ;w;

Wow u really called them "idiots" 😕

Hi Lia, I know you probably won't do this, but can/will you be doing a review on the miraculous shanghai special?

0:43 -- I thought for SURE that was a live-action MLB movie and I was about to flip out! 😂😂

Bug-mice.

Ah yes I forgot this show existed haha

The intro in this video is the best intro I've ever seen

"they were probably so there owners could transform quickly and remember them" Me: Have you seen how long it takes just the Ladynoir duo to transform? Lol
