People think 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.
~ The Prince's cover for her plans.

The Prince is the secondary antagonist of the 2022 action/comedy film Bullet Train, based on Kōtarō Isaka's 2010 dark comedic thriller novel Maria Beetle.

She is an assassin who is out to get revenge on her father, the White Death, for neglecting her. While on the titular bullet train, the Prince poses as a young innocent girl to avoid suspicion and succeed in her plans.

She was portrayed by Joey King, who also played a young Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises.

Her Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • Although she was unfairly treated by her father the White Death out of sexism, it wasn't an excuse for her to target anyone other than him, plus since her childhood her main ambition was to become a crime lady, so it's not like she was forced into a life of crime.
  • Pushed Yuichi Kimura/The Father's son Wataru off a roof even though such fall could have killed him, hospitalizing him and then threatens his father to help her in her plans to murder hers or she would have a hitman murder his defenseless son at the hopistal if she didn't confirm her status to him from time to time.
    • While her threat ultimately fails thanks to Kimura's father the Elder, who sent an assassin of his posing as a nurse to kill the Prince's hitman due to wanting to ensure his grandson's safety, this doesn't diminish the impact of the Prince's intentions, as Kimura wasn't even aware that his father planned to save his son.
  • Aboards the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto in order to sabotage her father's plans to get all the assassins involved in his wife's accidental murder.
  • Rigs Tangerine's and Lemon's briefcase with the ransom money for the Son, the White Death's son, which later leads to her father's henchmen blowing themselves up when they open it during the film's climax.
  • Tricks Lemon into trying to kill the Father despite him assisting her and later shoots at an unconscious Lemon when he faints due to drinking Ladybug's drugged water, though fortunately, both men survived.
  • Spits on the corpse of the White Death's son after being murdered by the Hornet out of resentment for their father choosing him over her, in spite that he was her brother/half-brother.
  • Tricks Ladybug into going after Tangerine by pretending the latter attacked her for no reason, leading Tangerine to accidentally get himself killed while facing Ladybug.
  • Supplies her father, upon meeting him in the final train station, with a rigged gun to get himself killed, which actually succeeds sometime later when her father tries to kill Ladybug during the film's climax.
  • Threatens to kill Ladybug, the Father and the Elder with a grenade launcher while she proclaims herself to become the new White Death in the aftermath of her father's death, only being stopped by Lemon running her over with a tangerine truck. While she was a minor, her death wasn't played for sympathy and was absolutely deserved.

What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • Despite her background not being a valid excuse for any of her crimes, the misognystic treatment the Prince received from her father still gives her some sympathy, as all she wished was for him to see her worth and looked up for him only for the White Death to choose his son over her and make her understand his sexist plans for her: marrying a powerful man and having kids, though given how her tragedy already involved the criminal underworld, this is a minor prevention.

Trivia[]

  • The Prince is, alongside her father the White Death, one of the two Bullet Train villains to be Near Pure Evil.
  • It is unknown if the original book version will be Near Pure Evil due to the absence of its main preventions and the book version is genuinely worse than the film version.
  • Interestingly, before portraying the Prince and the White Death respectively, Joey King and Michael Shannon appeared separately as Near Pure Evil villains from DC Comics, those being Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises and Zod of Man of Steel respectively.
