Miraculous Ladybug Season 2 episode 18 ANANSI
The episode begins with Nino and Alya lip-syncing a dance to the game. Marinette watches and admires her friends’ sync while Adrien watches Alya and Nino dance on his cell phone because his father won’t let him go out with his friends.
Adrien expresses his hope that one day he will have the same connection with someone, but not until his father starts letting him out of the house more often. Marinette asks Adrien if he really can’t go with them. Adrien reminds Marinette of her father’s over-protectiveness, but believes that she will eventually realize that she is no longer a child
Soon after Nino and Alya finish playing, Alya’s older sister Nora walks in, having recently returned from a boxing match. Alya wonders why they were up so late and reveals that she and her friends were hanging out before dark to watch the World Cup fireworks at the Ferris wheel.
Nora objects to this, believing it’s too dangerous for Alya since there have been a lot of akumatized people in Paris lately, and Alya should stay home where it’s safe since she’s been in direct danger several times before. In “Pharaoh” she was almost sacrificed, in “Prime Queen” she was about to be pushed into the Seine River while locked in a mummy-shaped coffin, and in “Befana” she was turned into a charcoal statue.
Alya stands her ground, even reminding Nora that the twins were akumatized right at home. However, Nora believes that this wouldn’t have happened if she was here because she always keeps a close eye on her family and hates people who mess with her family.
This makes Marinette and Alya remember the time when Nora mistook a man in a banana costume who was handing out flyers for an akumatized victim and attacked her. Embarrassed, Nora claims it was an honest mistake and says that if she doesn’t learn to defend herself, she needs to stay where it’s safe. Nino claims that he can protect Alya if she’s ever in danger, but Nora just laughs it off. Nora would allow Alya to go out with Marinette and Nino if Nino could win a match with her, but that would be impossible because Nora is too strong because she often boxes.
With things looking like they’ll have to do without Alya, Marinette suggests that Nino beat Nora at arm’s length, adding that he was stronger than he looked. Alya doesn’t want the two of them fighting over her because Nora would easily defeat Nino and Adrien even warns Nino of Nora’s power and could hurt Nino, but the match is called anyway.
With Adrien serving as referee, Nino and Nora begin arm wrestling, but Nino is unable to pull Nora’s arm down. Marinette distracts Nora by pretending to see the akuma by announcing it out loud to everyone in the apartment. When no one is looking, he pulls Nora’s arm down, so Nino is declared the winner and Nora “lost” the challenge. Despite Nora’s insistence that they were cheating, Alya grew annoyed with Nora’s overprotective big sister mothering. She says she’s going out with her BFFs and doesn’t care what Nora thinks, so Alya leaves with Marinette and Nino to watch the fireworks on the Ferris wheel.
Sensing Nora’s anger, Hawk Moth sends akuma after her. It infects her boxing helmet and Hawk Moth offers Nora the power to show her sister how dangerous the world can be in exchange for Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir. He gave her the power of superhuman strength and Nora accepts the deal. She transformed into Anansi, a giant spider woman.
Meanwhile, at the Ferris wheel, Marinette, Alya, Nino, and Adrien watch the fireworks on their phones, though Nino sulks that he can’t protect Alya, but still insists that he would if the moment came. Soon after, to Adrien’s warning, he noticed a new akumatized victim attacking the Ferris wheel.
Adrien pretends to lose the signal and hangs up, transforming into Cat Noir. Alya, Nino, and Marinette realized that the akumatized victim was actually Nora when she climbed onto the Ferris wheel. With her immense superhuman strength, Anansi carried the entire rope hanging from the ferris wheel with her four strong arms and jumped to a great height from top to bottom, bringing the rope down with a loud crash.
When the others are attacked by Anansi, Cat Noir soon comes to their rescue, saying that Anansi destroyed his scratcher with all those handy arms she has, but Anansi retaliates and hits Cat Noir with all six arms while he dodges all of them. attacks. Anansi managed to kick him, grab him by the ankle and throw him into the center of the ferris wheel.
