Trivia
- The episode was known as "Ladybug in Shanghai" when Jeremy Zag first announced the special.[1] Its previous name, "The Chinese Legend", was revealed at the Miraculous Ladybug panel at SDCC 2016.[2]
- Current title is "Miraculous Shanghai".
- During a Miraculous Ladybug Panel at Anime Expo 2016, it was revealed that one of the upcoming specials would be in 2D rather than the usual CGI style.[7] This was later revealed to be "The Chinese Legend", since, if greenlit, the special would be too expensive to make in 3D.[8]
- It is currently unknown if this is still the case, as months later, the official Miraculous Ladybug Tumblr blog responded to a question that all of the specials would be CGI, which would include this special.[9]
- Revealed by Jeremy Zag, Marinette will meet her maternal grandmother in this episode.[7]
