Best Miraculous season 1 episodes

4999 duels later, Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins, part 1), episode 25 holds the top spot in the favorite season 1 episode of Miraculous ranking, with Volpina, episode 24 trailing close behind.

Just 3 ELO points separate the top two, with Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins, part 1), episode 25 at 1357 points and Volpina, episode 24 at 1354. The sharpest divide appears further down: 35 ELO points set Volpina, episode 24 apart from Antibug, episode 17 in third place at 1319 points. The podium reflects fans' attachment to the season's final arc, with both the origin story and Lila's debut claiming the highest positions. At the opposite end, Rogercop, episode 8 sits at the bottom with 1036 ELO points, while Mr. Pigeon, episode 6 and Animan, episode 16 share 24th and 25th place at 1058 points each. The lower ranks suggest that standalone villain-of-the-week episodes fail to generate the same enthusiasm as mythology-heavy installments.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
