Shanghai.exe is major character from the Touhou doujin game Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Owing to the very lax approach to copyright issues on the part of ZUN, the Touhou series as a metrical boatload of fan-made games. While many of these emulate the top-down shooter-style of the original series, fans have made Touhou versions ranging from everything between Super Mario (Super Marisa) to Age of Empires (Touhou Boshuen - Age of Ethanols).

Following in the same line, Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network essentially is a Touhou-fied version of Mega Man Battle Network; with Alice Margatroid taking the role of Lan Hikari and her doll Shanghai taking that of Mega Man proper. Despite of this palette swap in characters, Genso Network largely resembles the original Battle Network, and indeed is so true to it that Capcom repeatedly unleashed its lawyers.

The situation thankfully ended in a compromise - with Capcom delivering a list of assets more or less copypasted right from Battle Network itself, and the developers replacing said assets with generic placeholder tiles.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Shanghai.exe fought in 8chanmania XLIX, where she fought Ran Yakumo. Though initially confused by the fact that Shanghai had not only learned to talk, but also came with quite an attitude, the fox quickly did away with her.
