In director David Leitch's 2022 action comedy Bullet Train, Brad Pitt's operative Ladybug found it difficult to trust his fellow passengers aboard the high-speed train from Tokyo to Kyoto. Initially, he simply aimed to steal a briefcase containing ransom money and then disembark. However, he soon found himself involved in a case of mistaken identity.

That led to Ladybug being placed in the middle of an assassins' gantlet, with multiple killers converging to claim the briefcase, never realizing they were being manipulated by The Prince (Joey King) and the White Death (Michael Shannon). However, with such a sprawling cast and with so many moving parts, multiple holes and unanswered questions arise in the intricate Bullet Train plot

Why Was Ladybug at The Wolf's Wedding?

The wedding of Mexican assassin The Wolf (Benito A. Martinez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny) in Bullet Train's first act turned into a bloodbath because The Hornet (Zazie Beetz) poisoned every cartel member present, including The Wolf's wife.

The Wolf boarded the train days later in Japan, believing Ladybug was responsible, because he was a waiter at the wedding. However, it's never confirmed what Ladybug was doing in Mexico, because he's typically an introvert who only goes out once assigned by his handler, Maria.

Why Was No One in Bullet Train's First Class?

The train had a handful of first-class cars, including the one used for the brawl between The Wolf and Ladybug. The former was killed, which resulted in Ladybug dressing him up to make it look as if The Wolf simply got drunk and fell asleep. Ladybug also killed The Hornet and then stacked her up there, too. However, it's weird that no one else was in first class, nor was anyone behind the bar.

Why Couldn't Anyone Detect Ladybug and Lemon's Row?

British assassin Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry) spoke loudly too, and fought with, Ladybug during a confrontation over the briefcase. A woman even kept shushing them, because they were in the quiet car. The problem is, other passengers were nearby, so they should have heard the scuffle. It would have even woken those who were sleeping. What's also odd is that the woman sees Lemon halfway pulling a gun from his jacket, yet never thinks to report the disturbance.

Why Didn't Any Alarms Go Off in Bullet Train?

When Lemon's hot-headed twin brother, Tangerine (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), was left at a station after being kicked off by Ladybug, he jumped on the back as the train. He then broke through the glass in the back, and boarded the cart. It's difficult to believe he'd be strong enough to punch through the industrial-strength glass needed for something moving at such high speed. But, more importantly, it's never explained why no alarms went off. Surely, there was a security system that would have signaled station security at the next stop.

Where Were the Bullet Train's Security and Cameras?

Bullet Train only had one guard, or rather, a conductor, on board. He hassled Ladybug to verify his tickets, but then he disappeared. He didn't do perform any walks, or else he'd have seen the many brawls. Admittedly, it's all plot convenience, but one also has to wonder why this train had no cameras that transmitted footage to a remote hub. After all, the train is a modern marvel that could have simply had the feed hacked by one of the many antagonists.

Why Didn't the Concession Lady See the Chaos?

Karen Fukuhara's concession lady walked up and down the aisles with the snack cart. Yet, when she reached the storage car, where Ladybug and Tangerine had to pause their fight, she somehow didn't notice danger. The men were bloodied and bruised, shelves were smashed, and still, she was oblivious to all of it. Or she simply didn't care, because this was probably outside of her job description.

What Happened to Yuichi's Wife?

Andrew Koji's Yuichi, aka The Father, was being manipulated by The Prince, so he could get close and kill the White Death for her. As leverage, she held Yuichi's son hostage in a hospital. However, it's never revealed what happened to the boy's mother. It's odd, because wives played such key roles in Bullet Train. White Death killed Yuichi's mother, which brought the Elder (Yuichi's aboard) aboard. White Death also hired all the assassins on the train to ensure they died, as each played a hand in his wife's death a year earlier.

Why Didn't The White Death Like The Prince?

The Prince hated how obsessed the White Death was with his Yakuza work following his wife's death. That's why she wanted to kill the neglectful man. But it's never explained why the White Death chose to ignore her. Bullet Train could have framed it as she reminded him of his wife. However, nothing is really fleshed out for their broken relationship.

Why Didn't The Prince Kill Lemon by the Toilet?

Joey King as The Prince in Bullet Train

Prince ended up in a twisted game with Lemon, in which she faked being a victim. She tricked him into shooting Yuichi a couple of times, which resulted in Lemon putting him in the toilet. However, she had the chance to shoot Lemon in the back then and there, yet she didn't. It was all to stretch out the drama, because killing him at that point would have removed another obstacle from her mission.

What Really Happened to Carver?

Brad Pitt as Ladybug in Bullet Train

Ladybug only took the job up after Ryan Reynolds' assassin, Carver, called in sick. However, seeing as Carver can't be trusted, one has to wonder if he was really ill. He was the one who actually killed White Death's wife, so it may be he got wind of the revenge plot and set Ladybug up to take the fall. Framing the aloof, kind-hearted Ladybug would be in Carver's character, which would be a cool angle to follow if a sequel's made -- Ladybug wanting revenge for this slight.
