History Characters / BulletTrain

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a grown man with a friendly nature who can gush for hours on end about his favorite cartoon and even carries ''Thomas and Friends'' stickers with him. He's also a professional hitman with an impeccable killing streak and a walking LieDetector.

* LieDetector: He has insisted since his introduction that he has great skill at reading people by assigning them the personalities of different characters from ''Thomas and Friends'', which seems to be mostly played as a cheap joke about his obsession with the show. However, as the story progresses, he turns out to be genuinely good at this.

->''"People think that I'm just some young girl. Someone’s future wife, or... future mother. But I'm not in someone else's story. You're all in mine.''"

!!Yuichi [=Kimura/The=] Father

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He dearly loved his wife. [[spoiler: Her death is what kicks off the plot.]]

* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler: He orchestrated the movie’s entire plot to seek revenge on those he blamed for his wife’s death, but callously mocks the Elder’s quest of retribution against him for murdering HIS wife.]]

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: Prince states it to be his trademark in dealing with assassination attempts, having killed several opponents who tried to kill him with their own weapons. [[spoiler:In his fight with the Elder, he tries to have his throat slit by his own katana]]. However, when he really wants to kill a certain target, he uses his own handgun. [[spoiler: It backfires on him in the climax when the Prince sabotages his gun so that he unknowingly kills himself.]]

* AmbiguousGender: Its a snake and from first glance, it's hard to tell if it's a boy or girl.

* {{Irony}}: InUniverse, Ladybug finds it ironic that Lemon, who is obsessed with ''Thomas and Friends'', has zero knowledge of how to conduct a train. He justifies it by stating it's a metaphor for life, not an instruction on actual train driving.

* UnluckilyLucky: Views himself as being incredibly unlucky. [[spoiler:To an extent he is half right - while his luck gets him into some less than desirable situations, it also gets him to the end of the movie alive]].

->''"Everything I learned about people, I learned from Thomas."''

* CassandraTruth: In the past, [[spoiler:he warned his former superior that allowing the White Death to rise higher in their ranks will only lead to their destruction. If the boss had listed to the Elder's advice, he may have avoided such a horrifying fate]].

* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: His head winds up getting blown up by his own rigged shotgun in the climax. He is even missing half of his face before he dies.]]

* CarryingTheAntidote: [[spoiler:The Hornet has boomslang antivenom on her in case she gets poisoned. After Ladybug gets partially injected with the venom, he quickly injects the rest of it into her to force her to dig out her antivenom. To his shock, she only carries one dose]].

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the book the Prince is a very dark male version of the AlphaBitch, a [[StrawNihilist nihilistic]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who delights in getting his terrified lackeys to torment those weaker than him to prove his worldview. He becomes morbidly obsessed with Kimura after he stands up to him and with meeting and killing Minegishi, someone feared by all, after picking on a classmate whose father is connected to the gang boss - getting the former on the train to kill the latter. In the film, this is simplified considerably - she is [[spoiler:the daughter of the White Death (Minegish's film equivalent), and is obsessed with revenge on him for ignoring her existence]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler:Was once regarded as a lieutenant to his former boss. And based on the fighting skills he displays in the present, it stands that he was more than worthy of the position]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Even as an older man, he's leagues ahead of his assassin army, outclassing the Elder in a swordfight after many of his mooks had failed.

* RiggingTheGame: He plays RussianRoulette in a very specific matter (which includes rolling the revolver cylinders on his arms), implying that he’s cheating and that he’d never get shot by his own gun.

* WalkingDisasterArea: Ladybug reflects on several previous jobs he worked on, almost all of which became violent, bloody affairs through sheer happenstance. The film implies that the events occurring on the train are pretty much just what happens when Ladybug goes anywhere. He doesn't mean to cause violence and bloodshed, those things just always happen to be near him.

* BladeOnAStick: He fashions a spear by taping a kitchen knife to a pole in preperation for the final battle at Kyoto.

* LoneWolfBoss: All jokes aside, the Wolf is the only one of Ladybug's opponents [[spoiler: whose presence on the train the White Death didn't arrange.]]

->''"I'm not in someone else's story. You're all in mine.''"

->''"No one really knows the truth. But what is known is this Russian... worked his way up the ranks. Bit by bit, kill by kill. And very, very fucking quickly became one of Minegishi's closest advisors. And those loyal to him said: 'Hold your horses. This geezer ain’t the full ticket. He ain’t to be trusted. He's dangerous.', they said.
'A modern plague', they said. 'A White Death.'"''

** [[spoiler: Alternatively this could be a case of PoorCommunicationKills, since everyone who was in his plans was meant to die a horrific death on the train, indicating that she is indeed worthy or at least he isn't blaming her for the death of his wife, unlike his son.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: Despite having taken over the Yakuza, his life has been filled with tragedy in response for his sins: [[spoiler:he was [[TheLostLenore married to a woman he adored]], but was given two horrible children, a incompetent, deadbeat son and a girl ([[WantedASonInstead that's it, that's what bothered him]]), his wife got killed as a result of a series of unfortunate events[[note]]He was called away due to his men getting attacked in South America, so his wife's convoy was mistaken to be the White Death's by an assassin who fatally wounded while she was her on her way to bail his son out of jail, and then, the only surgeon who could have saved her was killed by another assassin.[[/note]], afterwards, he became a shut-in and spent a long time formulating a plan to kill everyone marginally involved in his wife's death, only for outside forces and Fate itself to intervene and ultimately deny him the death of the one man who directly killed his wife (Carver, whom Ladybug was filling in for). He then ends up getting heavily injured after fighting with one of the sole survivors of the Yakuza clan he slaughtered and still being on the bullet train when crashes, ultimately killing himself when he unknowingly blows his head off with a rigged gun he took from the daughter, whom he spend her whole life neglecting]].
