Exaltation
Ladybug wants to celebrate the success of a mission by inviting Black Cat to dinner. Black Cat thinks it's a test to see if Ladybug knows how to keep his private life. Black Cat leaves Ladybug, disappointed.
She is annoyed and tells Alya about it.
Adrien wishes to see Marinette who does not wish to see him at all. She only thinks about Chat Noir.
Black Cat goes to see Marinette who, overcome with emotion, goes with him for a walk.
Monarque is aware of this and wants to take control of Marinette.
The wait is over and the dust has settled over Paris. With "Nemesis," the 26th and final episode of Season 6, "Miraculous, les aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir" has closed one of its boldest chapters to date. Season 6 premiered in France on TFOU in March 2025 and finished its French run on October 11, 2026. Across those 26 episodes, Thomas Astruc's superhero phenomenon did something few long-running animated series attempt: it changed the status quo for good. If you've just finished the finale and are still processing it, this debrief is for you.
A new cycle that took real risks
To understand why "Nemesis" lands so well, you have to remember where this season started. Season 5 ended the Agreste family arc, the storyline built around Gabriel Agreste, voiced with chilling restraint by Antoine Tomé as Hawk Moth and later Shadow Moth. Season 6 is the first season of a brand-new arc. With a new holder of the Butterfly Miraculous turning Parisians into akumatized villains, the writers had the freedom to rethink the show's formula. The premiere, "Climatiqueen," made that clear immediately, and the season kept introducing threats that felt different from the old villain-of-the-week pattern, including a wonderfully imaginative antagonist in the early episodes.
