Miraculous Ladybug Season 4 Episode 9 Gabriel Agreste Full Episode

Okay, let's talk Gabriel Agreste. Specifically, *that* episode. You know, the one everyone seems to have strong feelings about? Yeah, Season 4 Episode 9.

Am I the only one who kind of... enjoyed it? Before you throw tomatoes, hear me out! This might be an unpopular opinion, but I stand by it.

Gabriel's Shenanigans: A Love-Hate Relationship

We all know Gabriel is the worst. He's cold, calculating, and obsessed with getting his way. Basically, he's the reason for, like, 99% of the problems in Paris.

But, let's be honest, sometimes his villainy is just... entertaining. He's like a cartoon supervillain who accidentally stumbles into mildly funny situations.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a dramatic villain monologue? Or perhaps its the sheer audacity that makes him so compelling.

The Peacock Miraculous Problem

The episode really highlights his desperate struggle with the damaged Peacock Miraculous. It's messing with him. Big time.

Seeing him fumble, cough, and generally look unwell? Okay, a little bit of schadenfreude might be involved here. Sue me!

And let’s face it, the *Kwamis* are hilarious reacting to him.

Adrien's Unwitting Assistance

Poor Adrien. He's just trying to be a good son. Completely clueless, of course.

His attempts to connect with his dad are actually kind of heartbreaking. You want to yell, "Run, kid! Save yourself!"

But, then again, Adrien's naivety is what makes him so endearing. Even when he's enabling his dad's evil plans.

The Fashion Show Fiasco

Remember the fashion show? That whole thing was a mess! Gabriel, trying to manipulate events, looking stressed.

And then Adrien, just wanting to make his dad proud. A truly awkward scene to watch unfold.

It had me laughing and cringing all at the same time. It's like a train wreck you can't look away from.

Overall Thoughts: Guilty Pleasure?

Look, I'm not saying Gabriel Agreste is a *good* person. Or even a competent one, most of the time.

But Season 4 Episode 9? It's a wild ride. A trainwreck, perhaps, but a fun one.

So, maybe I'm alone in this. Maybe everyone else hates it. But I’ll happily admit I enjoyed watching Gabriel stumble.

The Brooch Reveal

The ending! The reveal of the brooch to Nathalie! It felt heavy for Gabriel.

He almost looked like he cared that Nathalie was suffering for him. ALMOST.

I like to think a tiny sliver of humanity peeked through there, or at least a sense of appreciation of her sacrifice, before going back into his villainous persona.
