## Trivia

* This is the sixth episode in which Juleka was re-akumatized into Reflekta, the first time being "Reflekta", the second time being "Reflekdoll", the third being "Félix", the fourth being "Ladybug", and the fifth being "Gang of Secrets".
	+ This is the only episode where Reflekta's clones have her copying power, instead of just Reflekta herself.
* The word Guiltrip is a combination of the term "guilt trip", which is defined as an experience of feeling guilty.
	+ It may also reference the fact that Guiltrip's purple bubbles rip the guilt from its victims, thus "guilt rip".
	+ "*Guiltrip*" is also the title of a 1995 Irish film.
* This is the second 11th produced episode to introduce a new hero, following "Desperada".
* It's revealed that Rose had an unknown illness since childhood that causes her to have headaches and bouts of vomiting that can return any unexpected moment.
	+ Rose is the third person to use a Miraculous while under an illness, following Nathalie and Emilie.
	+ Unlike Nathalie and Emilie, Rose's illness was not caused by a Miraculous.
* This is the first time neither Tikki nor Plagg were shown in an episode.
	+ This makes Daizzi the only kwami to appear in this episode.
* This episodes shows one of the few times an akumatized villain goes against Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth's wishes. This time, it was Reflekta, who let herself be captured by her own sentimonster in order to go in a guilt trip voluntarily.
	+ Ironically, what Shadow Moth told her to do ends up happening, as her friends end up being captured by Guiltrip.
* When Nino is in Guiltrip, he references "The Bubbler", as he is guilty that he couldn't help Adrien stand up against his father.
	+ However, it's revealed that it's referring to "Sentibubbler" as Alya believed at first that Nino was akumatized but was told it was Shadow Moth's creation.
* This is the first time Cat Noir attempted using Cataclysm on himself.
	+ Had Cat Noir used the Cataclysm against himself, he would not have died immediately, but would have been seriously injured, as seen in "Miraculer".
	+ This is the seventh time Cat Noir attempted to use his powers on a person as of his own free will following "Troublemaker", "Malediktator", "Miraculous Shanghai", "Ladybug", "Miraculous New York" and "Furious Fu".
* This is the third time both heroes are affected by a sentimonster, following "Reflekdoll" and "Truth".
* The Pig Miraculous being worn on the ankle, its ability to grant gifts that represent one's greatest desire, and Pigella's name all allude to the classic fairy tale *Cinderella* (known in French as *Cendrillon*).
	+ Chloé also nicknames Rose "Cinderella" in "Despair Bear" with this episode possibly foreshadowing these events.
* Pig Miraculous's superpower is Gift and Daizzi's concept is **Jubilation.**
* This is one of the few episodes in which both Ladybug's and Cat Noir's transformations aren't seen.
* Ladybug gives the akumatized victim the Magical Charm before using Miraculous Ladybug. This leads to her giving the charm in her special suit. It's the first known time she does this.
* Cat Noir is shown to know what happens when a Sentimonster is cataclysmed, seen in "Reflekdoll", "Truth", and "Queen Banana".
* This is the second episode in which an akumatized villain appears, but Ladybug and Cat Noir don't fight them, as Reflekta didn't try to fight them or obey Shadow Moth's orders following "Gigantitan".
	+ This is the second episode after "Christmaster" in which an akumatized villain voluntarily allows Ladybug and Cat Noir to destroy their akumatized object.
* This is also one of few times a character has seen the akuma before it hits its target and yet, this is also the first time someone notices an amok before it hits its target.
* It's revealed that Marinette doesn't only make birthday presents just for Adrien but for all of her friends.
* It's revealed that, despite her new power and updated suit, Marinette's transformation is still affected by a timer.
* Juleka receives two different Charms, a Magical Charm from Ladybug to protect herself from Shadow Moth's attacks, and an Akuma Charm from Ladyan so that she can become Reflekta if she wants to.
	+ It is also revealed that Rose Lavillant has received an Akuma Charm from Ladyan prior to the events of Gang of Secrets.
	+ Coincidentally, both Rose and Juleka start to develop feelings for Ryan.
