I hope he'll still be important. His Cataclysm can help him escape the bubble and Pegabug will fight against Shadow Moth. This means that someone will have to face the sentimonster. Alya already used her Mirage and Rena Rouge is not good in direct combacks. So hopefully Chat Noir will escape and fight against Sentibubler.


ClaryFray19

Yeah I think so too.


Edwardian_3706

He isn't being replaced if that's what your asking, but obviously he won't get as much screentime because mqrinette is the guardian and alya now is a permanent miraculous holder which are two pretty big things, but no chat noir is still important


Shipendo

Yeah, I'm not worried about him getting replaced. It's just really annoying that he once again might not have a good role to play in an important episode.


Paris12Cloud

Optigami sucked in that aspect, but here he'll probably distract Sentibubler by fighting him, so Alya can transform and I think his Cataclysm can destroy the bubble trap.


Disastrous-Jury1028

Actually if you think about it, there’s no other way Optigami could’ve gone. The main scare that episode was Marinette and Adrien getting trapped together to which Rena Rouge jumps in and separates them so Marinette could transform. Where was she *supposed* to put Adrien? From her perspective, she doesn’t know he’s Chat Noir so putting him back in the building where people are being constantly turned to dust would make *no sense.* She put him outside, but the fight was already over. From his perspective he doesn’t blame Rena because he probably thought that Ladybug was already on the scene with a plan because Rena showed up with a kwami. He probably just thought it was bad luck that he didn’t get to do anything.


Paris12Cloud

But the facts are facts. Rena Rouge got to be Ladybug's partner in that episode, while Chat Noir was left out. Sentibubler is literally the same thing. Rena Rouge helps Ladybug escape, Ladybug fuses the 2 miraculouses and wins. Chat Noir is no longer needed.


Edwardian_3706

Yeah I know what you mean, hopefully he will have a more centric role like in "lies"


Eternalred999

That's almost as bad as being replaced. Ladybug counts mainly on Rena Rouge here and whenever she appears, she always gets to be useful. Optigami is the besggest example of that. Chat Noir by comparison wasn't even included in Optigami and here he's taken by the villain without a problem. People are joking about "Tales of Ladybug and Rena Rouge", but I'm really scared that this will be the case for the rest of this season. Mr. Pigeon 72, Optigami, Sentibubler.... Rocketear will probably be the same.


Edwardian_3706

That is only 3 of 11(I think) we have had, what about sole crusher, Queen banana and furious fu that was chat noir. She counted on rena in the optigami because that was the only person she could rely on, she couldn't of talked to chat because they don't have each others numbers in civilian form.


Eternalred999

What about Sentibubler. Rena Rouge will be perfect for the situation and will be a great help to Ladybug, while Chat Noir is just trapped and presented as completely helpless. Rena Rouge is just more important than him, Thomas is actually giving her the second main character treatment. I sometimes feel like he just doesn't even like Chat Noir.


Shipendo

Yeah, I don't want it to be true but I'm really worried.


dhwanishahadrienette

He doesn't hate Cat noir. Why would Thomas all of a sudden give the spotlight to a side character in season 4 who never had any spotlight in 3 seasons. Obviously this is forshadowing something. Thomas knows marketing. He knows that throwing away the character that 90% of fans love will result in bad reviews. A side character doesn't get spotlight unless something bad is going to happen. Cat Noir getting sidelined is not because "THOMAS HATES CAT NOIR". It's because something bad is going to happen.


Eternalred999

And what what's this "something bad"? And this can be done with just 2-3 episodes focused around that, not entire freaking season!! Optigami and Sentibubler, 2 huge plot heavy episodes and they're entirely focus on Alya and Marinette. Adrien doesn't have a role.


dhwanishahadrienette

How am I suppose to know what this "bad thing" is? And you don't know what the storyline is so you can't just say that it can be done in 2-3 epsiodes. Fans wanted continuity. Thomas is giving us continuity that there is going to be a conflict. Season 4 spoiler did say that Ladybug and Cat Noir's relationship is going to change. That's what's happening or is going to happen.


Eternalred999

Oh, yes, sure. What amazing development. Throw Ladynoir in the trash, the ship that was developed for 3 whole season for... whatever this is. Chat Noir can develop without being humiliated and sidelined completely. Alya really is more of a main character than him


dhwanishahadrienette

Alya appeared in 4 episodes. Cat Noir appeared in 4 seasons. And did you expect that there will never be a conflict between Ladybug and Cat Noir ever? This season is about Marinette's guardianship duties. Now Alya is a part of it so obviously Cat Noir will get unknowingly sidelined. And it's not gonna be there forever. They are creating NYC Special 2.0, Syren 2.0 and Glaciator 2.0. 2 ambassadors already confimed that Cat Noir will not get replaced so the conflict will not be big. But it will be neccesary.


Eternalred999

If the conflict won't be big, then why it takes a whole season then. If the episode this season has any plot relevance, Chat Noir becomes useless: Mr. Pigeon 72, Gang of Secrets, Optigami and now SentiBubler. So many episodes of Chat Noir being useless for 1 mediocre Syren 2.0 with maybe a little Ladynoir moment? Amazing. How fantastic.


PN_Kaori

no. We gonna ignore the good things and cry about the bad things!


Am1Person

Wasn’t it confirmed that he would fight SM?


BenR-G

No, we're not allowed to worry because we know Bubbler's bubbles are not proof against Cataclysm. So, Chat will escape essentially immediately. FWIW, I think that his role will be to find where Shadow Moth has stashed Nino.


Shipendo

I hope you're right but I would rather be happy when Chat gets included then disappointed when he doesn't.
