** The entire concept of an EvilCounterpart to Ladybug sounds cool on paper, but in practice, Antibug has the exact same drawbacks Ladybug has, including having the time limit after using her SignatureMove.

not clear how that's supposed to be an example


* PetTheDog: Part of the reason why Ladybug doesn't take time to thank Chloé for telling her where the akuma is, in addition to her BerserkButton being pushed, is that she focuses on getting Sabrina to paramedics.
** Chloé taking Ladybug's advice and patching things up with Sabrina at the end. For all her grandstanding about it, it's clear from her private smiles that getting her only friend back is an outcome she's pleased with.

That doesn't actually make an example of the trope


* ButtMonkey: Meta-wise, Sabrina as Vanisher. She doesn't even get a cool costume or an episode title to go with her stint as an akuma.

Berserk Button trope doesn't just mean "something that makes someone angry one time"


* BerserkButton:
** For Ladybug, it's Chloé being her usual AlphaBitch self and lying to her about who the akuma might be, in a serious situation. Justified in that Chloé has caused an akuma to happen at least four times now and doesn't seem to realize it.
** For Chloé, it's Ladybug calling her a liar and not thanking her for the advice.

** Moreover, Vanisher and Antibug are among the least destructive and disruptive villains, with their actions taking placing almost exclusively at one location and mainly consisting of bugging Chloé (for Vanisher) and fighting the heroes (for both).

* CuttingTheKnot: Vainsher by comparison is the most efficient of Hawk Moth's akumatized humans since after spending a few hours tormenting Chloé, she waits for Ladybug and Cat Noir to show up, causes a distraction by dropping a flower and uses the diversion to try and pickpocket Ladybug's earrings. Certainly much more efficient than having a fight and ''then'' stealing the Miraculous.

Akuma don't exist, so they cannot cause SROs


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Chloé tries to live one of her fantasies by dressing up as Ladybug and attacking an akuma. Unfortunately, the akuma is after ''her,'' Chloé has no fighting experience, and Ladybug has to lock Chloé up briefly for her safety.

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Yeah, calling out the AlphaBitch for lying about who the akuma might be and not acknowledging that she made a good point will lead to her becoming an akuma in turn. Tikki explains to a depowered Marinette why this is wrong, but it's hard to see her point.

When someone invisible is attacking her, possibly under influence of akuma, she lies to Ladybug and Cat Noir about who her attacker might be, and dismisses an akumatized Sabrina as too spineless to be a threat. Then when she's proven wrong, she dons her own Ladybug costume and joins the fray, acting as TheMillstone. It's unsurprising that Ladybug gets fed up with her.
