The Prince Bullet Train - Tumblr Posts
What if...
I finally watched Bullet Train despite my immense disliking of Brad Pitt and safe to say I absolutely loved the movie. Lemon and Tangerine absolutely stole the show with their Thomas the Tank Train Engine related bickering. I was also watching John Wick and thought:
What if Bullet Train and the John Wick series was in the same universe? What if John Wick was on the actual bullet train?
Everyone would probably be dead, and MAYBE he would have seen straight through the Prince's manipulations on the train.
I can just imagine how the interactions between the twins and John would go with him being confused as to why Lemon keeps classifying people as trains.
I see him getting along with Ladybug with the man's attempts to be a pacifist, but ultimately fails by killing people on 'accident'. I saw a post and I think it's because he is extremely well trained and experienced that he was sort of giving them a 'do you really want to fight me?' but that is another talk for another time.
I am sure that the Elder and John would get along very well, the Elder would more than likely give John the best advice. That would extend to Yuichi who did everything to protect his son Wataru while being blackmailed while John would do anything for his dog (and preserving Helen's memory)
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
My own headcannon as to Bullet Train characters' sexuality and gender, because I read the book and am going to see the movie again and I have a lot of thoughts (also looooots of projecting on my part):
Nanao/Ladybird: ace and transmasc. Confused in general. Goes by he/they but fine with any pronouns.
The Prince: probably aroace and non binary or genderfluid
Kimura/The Father: the bi icon we need but don't deserve 😔
Lemon: demiboy, goes by he/they, also demiromantic
Tangerine: aro. Fight me on that one (actually please don't). Can't decide for his gender though.
The Hornet: lesbian and ready to kick ass, she/her
Maria: omni and transfem *-*
The Wolf: the token straight of the group
Ladybeetle: this is Tangerine. Tangerine loves his personal space.
Ladybeetle: this is Lemon. Lemon also love Tangerine's personal space.
•
Lemon: I will put down an A to make "A".
Kimura: I will add onto your A to make "AT".
Ladybeetle: I will add onto your AT to make "RAT".
Tangerine: I will add onto your RAT to make "BIOSTRATOGRAPHIC".
Lemon: *flips the board*
•
Ladybeetle: you know you are famous when you see pictures of you everywhere you go.
Maria: these are wanted posters.
•
Kimura: I'm gonna need a human skull but you can't ask why.
The Prince: only if you don't ask why.
The Prince: *pulls four pristine human skulls out of their bag*
Kimura:...
Kimura: this one will do.
The friend group meme but with Bullet Train characters:
Every friend group should include:
A Bimbo (Lemon)
A Mean Bisexual (Tangerine)
An Even Meaner Lesbian (The Hornet)
She/Theys (The Prince)
And He/Theys (Kimura)
A Token Straight That's On Thin Ice (The Wolf)
An Astrology Bitch Who's Got Everyone's Birth Chart Memorized (Maria)
And A Short King (Ladybug)
Differences between movie Bullet Train and book Bullet Train -i know there's probably a lot of these posts already but still-:
(Warning: spoilers ahead. For both the book and movie)
(Also not all the characters are there because... i didn't want to)
The Father/Kimura: if sass could kill, book Kimura would have the biggest body count. Homie might be trapped, but he's still going to use sarcasm no matter what. This man can actually be scary sometimes, he's a recoverring alcoholic, he's sassy, and movie Kimura... is there.
The Prince: movie version? Dora the Explorer's evil clone. She's annoying, she's lucky... and there we go. The book version? 100000× that. He is the nastiest 14 years old I've seen. Electrocutes his classmates for fun, has the biggest god complex ever, very good at manipulation.
Tangerine: very hot in both. In the book, the same way Lemon will talk about Thomas the Tank Engine whenever he can, Tangerine talks about books as much as possible. When getting angry, he starts quoting stuff. He's pretty much a poker faced guy the entire time, and he keeps a lucky charm Lemon gave him for the whole ride.
The Elder: well, there's two of them in the book; grandpa and grandma. And oh, grandma is so fucking badass. Also, there's no 'White Death' in this, so their wrath is focused on The Prince... those two are scary as fuck.
The Hornet: there are also two of them in the book! Pretty much insignificant, tbh. I think they were a big part of the plan but I honestly forgot them.
The Wolf: movie Wolf? Tragic backstory, dead wife, dead mother, ruined wedding. Book Wolf? A bully that got knocked on the head and wants to get revenge because of it.
Bullet Train characters as D&D classes and alignements because I am bored and still brainrotting (idk how many d&d and bullet train tumblr fans there are but uh yeah):
Tangerine: lawful neutral, ranger
Lemon: neutral, paladin
Ladybug: chaotic good, bard
Wolf: chaotic neutral, fighter
The Elder: lawful good, cleric
The Father: neutral good, wizard
The Prince: lawful evil, rogue
The White Death: neutral evil, sorcerer
The Hornet: chaotic evil, warlock

I just started Yellowjackets, but I'm convinced they would be an iconic duo. They would either be besties or kill each other.
I do not care for them at all (I love them so much)
