00:00 "We are Ladybug and Cat Noir!"

00:04 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best moments in the lovable kerfuffle that is this show.

00:11 If you're not caught up yet, here's your spoiler warning for season 5.

00:16 "Those earrings are mine!"

00:18 "No, no! Adrien, help!"

00:20 Number 10. Swapping Miraculouses

00:24 It's always a treat getting to see the holders mix things up.

00:28 The most iconic swap has to be Mr. Bug and Lady Noir,

00:32 but we've also enjoyed seeing Alia become Scarabella, among some other iconic traits.

00:38 Plagg and Marinette, and Tiki and Adrien make for interesting duos,

00:43 and a breath of fresh air in a series that can sometimes get overly formulaic.

00:48 "You are Cat Noir, correct?"

00:50 "And that over there is... Ladybug?"

00:53 "There's been a little mix-up with the Miraculous. I'm Tiki, pleased to meet you."

00:57 While there's certainly a learning curve the first time in season 3's Reflect Doll,

01:02 when we see them step up to the challenge again in season 5's Passion,

01:05 they seem a lot more comfortable in the other's roles.

01:08 "You trust me?"

01:09 "Of course I trust you. Go! I'll handle Safari!"

01:12 By this time, there's not only a shift in the love square,

01:15 but they've already had a chance to fight a mile in each other's shoes.

01:19 "Why don't you try helping me instead of making fun of me?"

01:21 "Apparently Bugaboy doesn't have a sense of humor."

01:25 Number 9. Marinette tells Alia she's Ladybug.

01:29 "You're right! I keep secrets! I lie all the time!

01:32 I lie to my friends, to my parents, to everyone!

01:35 And the worst thing is, I can't do it any other way!"

01:37 As with all media that involves superheroes hiding their identities,

01:41 we always wait with bated breath for the moment someone finds out.

01:45 "You're... Carapace? But... the two of you know?

01:54 You know each other's secret identities?"

01:55 For all the time, three whole seasons worth,

01:58 that Marinette stressed the importance of keeping her civilian life

02:01 separate from her heroine one, we thought this moment would never come.

02:05 Luckily, Alia has been proving herself a true friend since the very beginning.

02:10 And when Marinette can no longer do it all on her own,

02:13 she confides in her best friend.

02:15 "It'll mess up everything, maybe even destroy it!"

02:17 "Marinette, I'm your very best friend."

02:20 "And I... am Ladybug."

02:24 It's a gentle moment and marks an exciting turning point in the series

02:28 as Alia becomes a bigger player.

02:30 Number 8. Luca Finds Out.

02:33 "You're not listening, Marinette."

02:35 "Everyone's allowed to be in love, even when things get complicated and-

02:38 What? Did you just call me?

02:42 How about Cat Noir?"

02:47 "I know two."

02:48 So yes, Marinette telling Alia was a big deal.

02:51 But an even bigger deal was Luca finding out the identities of both Ladybug and Cat Noir.

02:57 The show has shown us time and time again what happens if they find out each other's identities,

03:03 as holders of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses.

03:06 "No one can know about our secret identities."

03:08 "Count on me."

03:09 This puts all three of them in jeopardy the moment Luca finds out.

03:13 Since, realistically, all it would have taken was one bad day.

03:17 And Luca could have been akumatized, divulging Ladybug and Cat in the process.

03:22 "Marinette?"

03:24 It makes for some great tension the following season when Marinette discovers that Luca knows,

03:31 and he makes the decision to leave Paris in order to keep everyone safe.

03:35 Number 7. The Aggressed History.

03:38 "It will allow you to give life to your dream and to control it."

03:42 For those of you who were shouting the centi-monster theory from the roofs

03:45 long before this episode, you were probably stoked to find out that you were right.

03:50 While we don't know yet what season 6 will bring, right now, it's been heavily alluded

03:54 that Adrien, Felix, and Kagami are all centi-monsters.

03:59 "Until one day, the curious princess learned that she was expecting. She was pregnant."

04:06 The lore of this show is certainly above anything we expected when we first began watching,

04:10 but we're glad to see the writers have tracked into more mature themes,

04:14 and a slightly darker tone. The Aggressed Family history unfolded at a nice pace

04:19 that kept fans guessing and theorizing, so the whole story culminating in representation was

04:25 especially gratifying.

04:27 "The child realized that his life was linked to that ring,

04:30 and it was only when his father died that he could recover it, and his freedom along with it."

04:36 Number 6. The Plane Kiss.

04:38 "Adrien!"

04:39 "Adrien!"

04:49 How could you pick just one kiss? We hear you shouting in the comments.

04:53 Or how could you pick this kiss? We know. Maricat was one of the most popular ships in the fandom,

04:59 so we all lost our minds when it looked like it was becoming canon.

05:03 "What about this?"

05:14 With that said, of all the kisses these two have ever shared, the plane one felt the most real.

05:20 It wasn't a peck to defeat a villain, or one they'd soon forget, and it came at a time when

05:25 both of them were sure about their feelings. It also was riding off the high from coming

05:29 closer than ever to having their identities revealed, as well as a level up in their powers.

05:35 "Cracking jokes was all I was ever good for."

05:37 "You were perfect, kitty cat."

05:39 Number 5. All the times they ever found out each other's identities.

05:48 "Black, claw them!"

05:49 "Cataclysm!"

05:54 "Adrien!"

05:58 Since this is the moment we're all waiting for and the show seems to know it,

06:02 they've shown us what feels like every possible scenario,

06:05 and the reasons why it couldn't happen so long as Hawk Moth was active.

06:11 Although none of them were the true reveal, it was sweet seeing their reactions every time.

06:15 "Don't worry about Cat. I mean that. It happens to everyone."

06:19 We also got a glimpse of what a true romantic relationship would look like between them,

06:27 at times when that seemed so far out of reach. And a special shout out to Adrien's reaction here.

06:33 "No, it's that. I just found out that one of my closest friends

06:36 is the person I love and admire most in the world."

06:39 Cue the swooning.

06:40 Number 4. Cat Blanc.

06:42 "I would put that cataclysm away if I were you, Adrien."

06:46 "How do you-"

06:48 You know an episode made an impact when we're all still talking about it several seasons later.

06:56 Not only is it epic with the whole time travel storyline,

06:59 but we're also introduced to possibly our favorite villain yet.

07:03 "Give me your miraculous so I can make everything go back to the way it was!"

07:06 This is another episode that shows us a major what-if scenario,

07:10 this one leading to the destruction of all of Paris.

07:13 It's our first real look at why Ladybug and Cat Noir can't be together just yet,

07:19 and the memory of this outcome directly affects how Ladybug treats Cat Noir after that.

07:24 We get to see Cat Blanc again in representation,

07:28 where his biggest fear lines up with the bad timeline, and it's utterly heartbreaking.

07:33 But somehow we don't think this was his last appearance.

07:36 "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I couldn't have done that!"

07:41 Number 3. Ladybug Loses.

07:44 After becoming Guardian, which was also a huge moment in the series,

07:48 Marinette had more than ever on her plate.

07:50 The season 4 finale gave us so much.

07:53 Felix's cleverness and the suggestion of bigger motives at play was excellently done.

07:58 "Fetch!"

07:59 Plus, there are few moments in 'The Love Square' that make our hearts squeeze more

08:10 than watching Adrien comfort a crumbling Ladybug,

08:14 or their tender moment on the rooftop together.

08:16 "We're gonna get them back one by one, until the very last,

08:20 and we'll make sure this never happens again."

08:24 "You and me?"

08:26 Making her lose was probably the biggest way the creators redeemed a protagonist,

08:30 who many were beginning to grow frustrated with at the time.

08:34 Cat finally got his apology,

08:36 and their relationship as a team grew stronger than ever from that point on.

08:41 "I really made a mess of everything."

08:43 "My lady."

08:46 "No."

08:46 Number 2.

08:54 Monarch's Wish and Defeat

08:56 "Stop Monarch at all costs. That's what she would have wanted.

09:00 Transform back. Transform back."

09:03 "What? Why? Wake up!"

09:07 If we thought the season 4 finale was intense,

09:09 we were nowhere near prepared for that of season 5.

09:13 Marinette wearing the miraculouses of both the Ladybug and the Black Cat

09:17 is somehow the most tame part.

09:19 "Found you! Marinette Dupain-Chang?"

09:24 "No! Tiki, flag, unify!"

09:26 Monarch and Ladybug come to know each other's identity,

09:29 and we get to see Gabriel's deep grief over losing his wife.

09:33 "I just can't live without her. I love her so much.

09:38 When she left me, the world shut down around me."

09:41 Mind you, this comes only after Ladybug gives him the verbal

09:45 and physical smackdown of the century.

09:48 She also gives him the opportunity for redemption,

09:51 though that's swiftly disregarded.

09:53 Honestly, it was worth the stress just to see the Kwamis in their true forms.

09:58 "I am Gibby, the Kwami of reality."

10:08 Completely epic.

10:10 We wish Cat Noir had been part of it all,

10:12 but we have a feeling this big moment will be saved for season 6.

10:15 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

10:20 Marinette is almost akumatized, only to ruin a heartfelt Mary Cat moment.

10:25 "Marinette, resist! You have to resist!"

10:30 Tiki and Plagg find out.

10:33 Knowing who the other holder is creates tension, and comes in handy later on.

10:38 "Spots off."

10:38 "Claws in."

10:42 The holders meet their Kwamis.

10:50 You can't beat an origin story.

10:52 "What's this doing here?"

10:53 "Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A mouse! A bug mouse!"

11:07 "Everything's okay!"

11:08 Felix finds Emily.

11:10 We can't imagine what was going through his mind.

11:12 "No, no!"

11:15 Cat Noir cataclysms Monarch.

11:22 The stress Adrian feels afterwards is heart-wrenching.

11:26 "No! Why'd he do that? Is he crazy?"

11:46 Number 1. The Umbrella Scene

11:49 "Hey."

11:52 Through all the chaos and twisting turns this show has to offer,

11:57 this is the scene we keep coming back to.

11:59 While there are plenty of iconic moments in the series,

12:02 the image of Adrian handing Marinette his umbrella is a defining one.

12:06 "I've never been to school before. I've never had friends. It's all sort of new to me."

12:12 It's the very start of something new.

12:18 We see the umbrella pop up a couple of times after that,

12:21 notably in season 4 when it's revealed Marinette has kept it all that time.

12:26 "Wow, you've had it all this time?"

12:29 We have no doubt the symbol will come up again in the future,

12:32 especially seeing the way their romance has developed,

12:35 and we can't wait for the full circle moment.

12:37 We know we missed tons of great moments,

12:41 so let us know which ones you want to see included in the next video in the comments below.

12:45 "Pound it, Mr. Bug."

12:46 "Uh, aren't you forgetting something, m'lady?"

12:50 "Uh, a kiss goodbye?"
