[Rock music]
[clapping]
So, what do you think of my new album?
Can you feel it, Bob? Isn't it killer?
Not bad, Jagged, not bad,
but if you really want
to make something killer,
let's talk about this duet with Mr XY.
No way, he's not a rocker.
He's a baby. I bet he doesn't even shave.
This "baby" just pushed you
off the No 1 spot.
And? Doesn't make him
a true musician like me.
Penny thinks everything I do is killer.
Penny's your agent but I'm your real boss.
or rep a No 2 rock star.
Get real.
You have to modernise your music,
change your look, get a new style.
You wanna talk real?
I'm a genuine rock 'n' roller, Bob,
That's what people love about me.
Isn't that right, Fang? Yeah.
The artwork you did for my album
is a waste of my time.
Seriously, Bob? What is this trash?
It looks like a perfume ad.
That's what people want these days.
Well I don't.
My album covers exude the smell
of sweat and leather.
If your next album doesn't rank
No 1 in the charts,
it'll be your last
with Bob Roth Records!
I'd rather do nothing
than sing a pathetic duet with
a baby-faced nobody.
Jagged and I had an idea.
Its concept is modern
but it also respects
Jagged's own "rugged" style.
The girl who made
these glasses has real talent.
She gets my style.
She'll design the cover of my new album.
A schoolgirl?
See? That's just it.
She's the same age
as the target audience.
Here's her address.
[he groans]
[snarling]
OK. But think about that duet
with Mr XY.
Find that girl, Bob!
let me get this straight.
You want me to design
the album cover for Jagged Stone?
My all-time favourite singer?
That's right, requested
by Jagged himself.
I brought a few visuals
so you can get an idea.
This doesn't seem like Jagged,
more like a perfume ad.
It's the direction
of his new image, more modern.
Really?
I was thinking more
Don't think.
This is what is selling these days.
Sure.
We're in a hurry, we need a proposal
by the end of the day.
You up to it?
Yeah, OK.
[Bob] See you later then.
[Tom] My daughter, famous designer.
You're gonna kill it, Marinette style!
Boo-ya!
[electronic music]
[she groans]
Why does Jagged Stone want
to change his style?
XY's music is so cold
and lifeless, repetitive, mundane
The total opposite of Jagged's.
And what I've just done is
so not my style, either.
So why're you doing it, then?
That's what I was asked to do.
Follow your gut feeling,
do something that's really you.
But you heard what Mr Roth said,
"This is what's selling these days".
Yeah, but Jagged Stone wanted you
because of your style.
[groaning] The pressure I can't deal
Marinette, superhero,
defender of the innocent,
fighter of all the rights,
can't deal with the pressure?
[electronic music]
What happened to the raw
impulsive artistry that make this?
Yeah, about that Mr Roth told me
She represents our target audience.
Her modern concept is
exactly what you need.
It looks like the cover of that YZ guy.
Don't listen to Bob.
Can you do another one Jagged-style?
Yeah, sure
But I don't know if
You're my girl, Marinette, remember,
raw, impulsive artistry.
-We're all done here, Bob.
-No, we are
[snarling]
[Bob whimpers]
Just do your best.
[snarling]
We are not
Me? Old school? A has been?
Why you little perfume ad!
He's stealing my catchphrases!
He can't say that!
He's an insult to rock, and me!
[rock music]
[munching]
I feel a disharmonious soul,
an angry discord.
ideal prey for my evil Akumas
Go find that Jagged Stone
and rock his world!
[rock music]
Guitar Villain, I am Hawk Moth.
I'm giving you and your crocodile
the power to show the whole world
that you are the No 1 rocker.
Just make sure you get me
Ladybug and Cat Noir's
Miraculouses in return.
Yeah, let's rock.
Hey, Marinette. Hey, hi.
HeyOh,
What's going on?
I mean, how's up? I mean
[she sighs]
Adrikins!
There you are.
Amazing Chloe has a surprise for you.
She knows you're a fan of Jagged Stone.
I am.
So you get a private meeting
with your favourite star.
He's staying right here in daddy's hotel.
Is Chloe the best? Is Chloe the best?
Did you hear that?
Chloe speaking in the 3rd person?
Totally annoying.
No, the part where Adrien likes
Jagged just like me.
Now I definitely can't
mess up the artwork.
So now what?
I'm going to design
Jagged Stone's album my way
and no one else's.
Way to go. Follow your instinct.
[questioning sigh]
Talking bag,
new technology imported from Japan.
You and I like the same kind
of music, isn't that awesome?
I thought you liked Mr XY.
Of course. Don't you?
Not really.
Well, neither do I.
See? We have the same great taste.
A duet with Mr XY
will prove that Jagged's still
[gasping]
From now on,
you can call me Guitar Villain.
I'll never do a duet with Mr XY.
In fact, soon,
there won't even be a Mr XY.
Rockin' Riff Baby!
[rock music]
Soon, there'll be nothing
but Guitar Villain fans.
The one and only rocker.
Such symphony to my ears.
It won't be long before
Ladybug and Cat Noir show up
to meet their doom.
Hurry, Adrien. Get me outta here.
[she gasps]
Yeah, Guitar Villain.
Plagg, claws out!
[gasping]
Rockin' Riff, baby!
[Rock music]
[squeaking]
Rockin' Riff, baby!
[rock music]
Hey, Jagged, try and rock my world.
The name's Guitar Villain, pussycat.
Awesome Solo!
Awesome Solo!
Welcome to my fan club.
[rock music]
[rumbling]
[she gasps]
Do see what I see, Tikki?
If you see a dragon, then yes I do.
I've gotta transform.
Tikki, spots on!
Cat Noir, you OK?
Good to see you, milady.
Cat Noir, your stick!
[he yells]
[he chuckles]
You're wasting my time.
I've got a concert to get to.
We've gotta follow him.
His power comes from his guitar.
We've gotta stop him from playing.
I won't let you do this solo.
[electronic music]
You're an insult to the music world, XY!
An hologram?
[whimpering]
Where's the real XY?
He's not here.
The concert's not till tonight.
I'm just setting up the special effects.
Awesome Solo!
[rock music]
[exploding]
Where's Mr XY? Answer me!
On TV. He's at the TV station.
Rockin' Riff Baby!
[gasping] You again?
To the TV studios, Fang.
He'll get there before us!
We'd better make sure
he doesn't find XY.
how can I help?
Ladybug says we're in danger.
Mr XY, we have to leave now.
What the heck?
Ladybug said you're not safe.
Hit the credits.
[dramatic music]
Where's that studio?
[Receptionist] Third floor.
[frustrated sigh]
Awesome Solo!
[Alec] Everything will be fine.
It's just a precaution.
We must get you to safety.
What's he gonna do,
blow me away with his "evil guitar solo"?
YES!
We'll catch him,
and get you to the Eiffel Tower
in time for your live concert.
[puffing] Who cares?
My roadies can project my image.
Live concerts are so 10-minutes-ago.
[cackling]
[whimpering]
Good job, Fang.
I've found you at last, XY.
Ready for the show?
Dude, are you Jagged Stone?
Was Jagged Stone
Now I'm Guitar Villain!
[he laughs] Don't worry,
you don't deserve to become
one of my fans.
I've got something special
in store for you
something with a little rock 'n' roll!
No!
[Cat Noir] Back to square one.
We're in for quite a concert. You ready?
To Rock 'n' Riff, baby!
[rock music]
[cheering]
[cheering]
Hello, Paris!
You said your music is
the only killer music around,
is that right?
I-I d-didn't mean it.
Listen, Mr Guitar
we cando the duet your style.
[whimpering]
[whimpering]
[cackling]
Too late. I'm going to show you
what killer music really is.
Ultimate Solo!
[rock music] Stop, please.
Talk about being
between a rock and a hard place.
[yelling]
Easy, easy, nice dragon.
Enough already,
we've got a stuffed kitty to rescue.
[Cat Noir]
Well, the bug mastered the dragon.
How d'you like the concert?
Still think your music is
the only killer music?
N-No. Please don't.
[whimpering]
-Awesome Solo
-Not so fast!
[dragon roars] My dragon?
Ladybug, Cat Noir, hurry!
Nice job.
Too late.
Nothing can stop Guitar Villain.
Rockin' Riff Baby!
We only rock to the real Jagged Stone.
The Akuma must be in his guitar.
How we gonna get to that?
[Ladybug] Let's go backstage.
Where did they go?
[groaning]
You OK?
Too bad.
They're gonna miss the final song.
[cackling] Solo!
[whimpering]
Are you scared?
Or is it too awesome for you?
Please, Mr Guitar Villain.
Lucky charm!
-Extreme fixing gel?
-You plan on doing his hair?
[rock music]
Actually, yes!
Go get him, Cat Noir!
Maybe you haven't heard it properly.
Cataclysm!
Awesome Solo!
[he groans]
[he screams]
I can't see! Where are my fans?
don't forget me!
[screaming]
[he squeals]
Music's over, Akuma.
Time to de-evilise!
Rock 'n' Roll!
Bye-bye, little butterfly.
Miraculous Ladybug!
POUND IT!
What's he doing here?
He came to tell you that
you've underestimated his music
This guy's crazy!
Thank you.
How about an autograph, Jagged?
I still have work to do. Bug out!
[they gasp]
Don't do your victory dance
just yet, because one day,
I'll play you my favourite music,
the anthem of your defeat,
Ladybug and Cat Noir!
[rock music]
Done!
Jagged Stone will love it.
I hope so, it's 100% Marinette.
It's my awesome solo!
[Tikki] Rock 'n' Roll!
Yeah, this is it.
You did it, girl.
I can almost smell
the leather and sweat
radiating off of this design.
[he sniffs]
You actually are smelling it.
I made a scented sticker
for your album.
I want it. I gotta have it.
It's authentic. It's original.
It'sso jagged.
No, you can't. It's not what
Fine, then I'm outta here.
I'm sure another record company
would be perfectly happy
with a No 2 chart-topper.
[Bob huffs]
[excited squealing]
I've just designed the cover
for Jagged Stone's new album.
I'm so proud of you, Marinette
Hey, Marinette.
I'm a huge fan of Jagged Stone's
and I saw you designed
his album cover.
I-I did. Crazy, isn't it?
I wanted to ask if
I could get it autographed?
O-OK, sure I'll ask him.
No actually, I meant you.
Me?Me?
If you wouldn't mind.
Awesome! Thanks, Marinette.
[growling]
Did I imagine it or did you sign
an autograph for Adrien?
I can't feel my legs.
Hold me up. I'm gonna fall over.
Is he still around?
It's OK, he's gone. You can fall over.
This is the happiest day of my life.
[Marinette] Rock 'n' Roll!
