I’m pretty sure someone pointed it already, but I wanted to expand it a little.
So, the akumatization scene in “Silencer” is probably one of the best scenes in this episode.
First of all, when Luka sees Marinette being mocked by Bob Roth he becomes enraged. He isn’t just angry, he is furious. There is a great shot of Luka’s hand squeezing the mask. You can see his hand fidgeting, the blur in the background adds to the dense atmosphere, it makes you focus.
But the thing I wanted to bring attention to the most is the actual akumatization. The whole process is basically just Hawk Moth’s monologue. Luka says nothing. He just puts on the mask and transforms. There’s no “Yes, Hawk Moth” or any other line. Just silence.
I came up with two ways how we can portray this. I think they work along each other, I mean, they’re compatible.
The more obvious explanation is of course the connection between this move and Luka’s villain persona. Silencer talks, but he does it in a rather unconventional way, so there’s that.
But I also think this shows what are Luka’s true intentions. He doesn’t care about the miraculouses. He doesn’t care about Hawk Moth. He wants the powers to “serve justice” as he claims. He wants to punish the ones that disrespected Marinette, him and KittySection.
I may be wrong, but throughout the whole episode Silencer doesn’t even try to take Ladybug’s and Chat’s miraculouses. There is an intense fight, yes, but he treats them as obstacles between him and Bob, who needs to be put down.
Hawk Moth says something to him once. Unfortunately I don’t know what they are talking about because I don’t understand French, so that means my theory may have a hole in its logic. But I can’t do anything about that until someone puts the subs on.
The whole idea of this post is how this part expands Luka’s character. In contrast to his usually calm nature, when he becomes angry, he really is angry. The akuma works on him, but on a different take. He becomes a crazy villain, but he knows what he wants to do. He uses the akuma as a weapon for himself, not for Hawk Moth. He is still independent. He is determined. He wants justice, not only for him, but for his loved one.
