Just few days ago, before this post was published, the Official Miraculous YouTube Channel released some new clips of the Episodes; "🐞 SOLE CRUSHER" & "🐞 OPTIGAMI". We got a glimpse into what is coming up for the next two episodes of season four! And in this post, we will be analysing both trailers to see what we've got coming up soon from the latest episodes in the series.
SOLE CRUSHER
During our analysis of the Sole Crusher episode, we get to see one of the new characters of the season, Zoé.
She is Chloé's half-sister. While she is in the car with Chloé, Chloé makes some rude remarks about her, commenting about her fashion-ware being bad/outdated, and you know, typical Chloé stuff... even though we have seen Chloé wear the exact same clothes for the PAST FIVE YEARS! - says who for not changing their fashion! Anyway, this gets her Akumatized, and gets her turned into Sole Crusher, which looks like a Giant Chloé by the way! I am not too fond of this episode's villain, as it does not look as inspiring or even as imaginative as the previous episodes from other seasons. The powers that this new villain holds, is when it steps on someone, they gets transported into another dimension, kind of like the "Pixelator" episode. You guys can let us know what other episodes that this is similar too, and how you guys feel about this entry into the series in the comments below. We do not get any good views on Marinette's new costume sadly.
OPTIGAMI
In the start of this, we see that Marinette and her friends are on their way to watch a show of Adrien's. Maybe another one of his fashion shows, we hint this, because of Chloé's Mother being there.
The highlight of this episode is how hawkmoth is digging deeper, and finding out new ways into how he is to find out Ladybug, and Chat Noir's identities with the addition of the Optigami, which is a strange sounding name, but it is, as described by fandom.com, that the "Optigami is a butterfly or moth-themed spy camera Sentimonster created by Mayura to find out the identities of Ladybug and Cat Noir." - MORE INFO HERE
Chloé's Mother once again gets Akumatized, and is spreading havoc once again onto the City of Paris. This episode is not really anything special, and it is starting to get a bit repetitive, seeing old villains being reused like this.
When Chloé's Mother is fighting with Ladybug and Chat Noir, we see how Mayura are using the Optigami, using computer screens to intersect on the fight, and giving Hawkmoth more instructions.

Conclusion
We do not think that Hawkmoth has gone too far yet to figure out their Identities, but we have seen a lot of interesting additions to the villains side of things, such as the Optigami. These episodes do not bring so much of anything new to the table, but do show well of how the episode is maturing throughout each and every watch. But sadly, as to how we feel in our opinion at this moment, these episodes are not the best from the series, not the most interesting, we wish to see something more entertaining and new in the future episodes. I guess we'll have to watch the whole episodes later, and write down a proper review on both of these, but don't hold your breath, because if the trailer is not making you excited, then that means that these episodes from this show are not going to blow your mind away when you see them. But we are still looking forward to what's coming around in season 4 of Miraculous Ladybug.
