Okay so everyone remembers the episode Intuition, right? Specifically the scene where Astro Chat reactivates Monarchβs Second Chance instead of taking the Miraculous? Yeah well Iβm still pissed at the fandom for being annoyed that he did that
First and foremost: he has not only used his Cataclysm but is now trapped in a Shell-ter IN SPACE! Need I remind you that at this point he WILL transform back in less than five minutes, which means, guess what? HE WILL DIE IN FIVE MINUTES IF HE DOES NOT GET BACK TO EARTH
βOh but he couldβve unified and been fineβ but he CANβT! As seen in Re-Creation, the Kwamiβs arenβt attached to their Miraculous anymore which means he still wouldβve transformed back!
βOh but even if he died, Ladybug couldβve brought him backβ okay and how is she going to do that when Bugfighter has destroyed her yo-yo and currently has her trapped? Sure Claudie couldβve helped out, but Astrobug had no way to summon a Lucky Charm and, as we learned in the New York special, wouldnβt have been able to repair the damage Bugfighter caused
So, once again, say it with me: HE WOULD HAVE DIED AND STAYED DEAD
βWhat about Bunnyx?β Adrien dying straight up wouldnβt be something Bunnyx would interfere with because, guess what? Adrienβs life doesnβt outweigh the rest of the universe
But technically speaking, yes, Bunnyx COULD save Adrien, but thatβs only IF it would directly result in Marinette/Ladybugβs Akumatization and for no other reason
In other words, no matter how stupid of a decision it seemed: Astro Chat resetting Monarchβs Second Chance was the best choice because not only did it inevitably result in their victory, but ALSO unknowingly sped up Monarchβs death via Cataclysm
