Introduction
The enchanting world of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir has captivated audiences with its compelling blend of action, romance, and superheroism. Central to this universe are the Miraculouses, powerful jewels granting extraordinary abilities to those who wield them. From the iconic Ladybug and Cat Noir to the lesser-known heroes, the Miraculouses are the lifeblood of the series. But how many Miraculouses exist in this vast and ever-expanding world? Let’s delve into the mysteries and explore the complete list of these amazing objects.
The essence of the Miraculous universe is the power these objects provide. Each Miraculous is linked to a specific Kwami, a tiny being that embodies an abstract concept. When a human wears a Miraculous and summons their Kwami, they gain incredible powers tied to the nature of that Kwami.
The Core Miraculouses
The foundation of the Miraculous universe is the symbiotic relationship between the hero and the Kwami. For example, the Ladybug Miraculous, worn by Marinette Dupain-Cheng, transforms her into Ladybug, granting her the power of creation. The Kwami associated with this Miraculous is Tikki. The other half of the core duo, Adrien Agreste, uses the Cat Noir Miraculous and its Kwami, Plagg. Plagg gives Cat Noir the ability to destroy. These two are connected by fate and destiny and form the core of the series.
Beyond these central powers, many other Miraculouses exist, each with their own unique abilities and Kwamis.
The Fox Miraculous
One of the most versatile is the Fox Miraculous. With Trixx as the Kwami, the wielder gains the power of illusion, able to conjure realistic but false images. Alya Césaire, as Rena Rouge, has frequently utilized this power to create distractions and deceptions. This Miraculous is key to the team’s strategies.
The Turtle Miraculous
Next, the Turtle Miraculous, once wielded by Master Fu and later by Nino Lahiffe as Carapace, provides protection. The Kwami Wayzz embodies this defensive ability, allowing the wearer to generate a shield and safeguard themselves and others. The Turtle Miraculous is essential for keeping the team safe and providing cover during battles.
The Bee Miraculous
The Bee Miraculous, with Pollen, brings the power of subjugation. When Chloe Bourgeois is active as Queen Bee, this power permits her to paralyze her foes. It’s a powerful tool for controlling situations, though Chloe’s personality often complicates its use.
The Peacock Miraculous
The Peacock Miraculous grants the power of emoti-creation or amplification, linked to the Kwami Duusu. Originally misused by Gabriel Agreste in its corrupted form as Mayura, the Peacock Miraculous is a complex object with the potential to create Sentimonsters—beings of emotion that can be controlled by their creator. The powers are immense and complicated and are often used by the villains.
The Butterfly Miraculous
On the other hand, the Butterfly Miraculous with its Kwami Nooroo, is another extremely powerful object, but with a slightly different purpose. Nooroo gives the Butterfly Miraculous the ability to grant others their powers. This ability allowed Gabriel Agreste, as Hawk Moth, to empower his akumatized villains. This Miraculous represents both the threat and the means to overcome it, which sets up much of the show’s conflict.
The Dragon Miraculous
The Dragon Miraculous with its Kwami Longg, grants control over the elements. When wielded by Kagami Tsurugi, as Ryuko, it bestows power over water, wind, and lightning. This versatility makes it one of the strongest Miraculouses.
The Snake Miraculous
The Snake Miraculous, with Sass as its Kwami, holds the power of second chances and time travel. Luka Couffaine, as Aspik, can rewind time with this power, giving him the ability to correct mistakes. This allows him to strategically manipulate time.
The Mouse Miraculous
The Mouse Miraculous, with Mullo, has the power of multiplicity, allowing the wielder to divide themselves into multiple entities. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, in this form, as Multi-Mouse, can be in several places at once. This helps her to strategize and gain an edge.
The Monkey Miraculous
Another interesting object is the Monkey Miraculous. Xuppu is the Kwami, and the power it offers is provocation. Kim Lê Chiên, in his role as King Monkey, uses this ability to disrupt his opponents.
The Pig Miraculous
The Pig Miraculous, with Daizzi, provides the gift of wish-granting. Rose Lavillant, as Pigella, can make wishes come true. This makes this Miraculous exceptionally powerful and useful in various situations.
The Tiger Miraculous
Next is the Tiger Miraculous, with Roaar. Juleka Couffaine, as Purple Tigress, uses intuition and is given the power of insight.
The Ox Miraculous
The Ox Miraculous, with Stompp, provides resistance. Ivan Bruel, as Minotaurix, can withstand significant attacks.
The Horse Miraculous
The Horse Miraculous, with Kaalki, permits tele-portation and the creation of portals. Max Kanté, as Pegasus, can jump through space, creating new pathways.
The Dog Miraculous
Finally, the Dog Miraculous, with Barkk, gives the user the power of obedience. Sabrina Raincomprix, as Miss Hound, can make her opponents obey her.
Important Aspects
While we have discussed a great number of Miraculouses, the complete list may change as the story continues.
The Miraculous Box
The Miraculous Box is a key element. The Miraculouses are not just individual objects; they belong to a greater system. This box is a repository of all the Miraculouses and their associated Kwamis. Throughout the show, the guardian of the Miraculous Box is the person responsible for safekeeping and ensuring that they are wielded responsibly. The box also symbolizes balance, with the dual powers of creation and destruction being held in perfect equilibrium.
Balance of Powers
Furthermore, the balance between the Ladybug and Cat Noir Miraculouses has a deep thematic significance. Their respective powers of creation and destruction are intended to be used together in harmony. This symbolizes the need to balance different forces. The show frequently portrays the challenges that arise when this balance is disrupted.
Impact on the Narrative
The Miraculouses drive the series, as their existence has shaped the plot’s developments, with each new Miraculous adding complexity. The appearance of more Miraculouses alters the show’s challenges. Furthermore, the Miraculouses’ ability to be used by different people has generated many exciting storylines. The possibilities for storytelling are endless.
Limitations
However, using the Miraculouses has drawbacks. The more power that the Miraculous wielders use, the more likely they are to reveal their identities. Furthermore, the time limitation for how long a person can use the Miraculous can cause an even more significant drawback. These limitations add drama.
Conclusion
