#yuichi kimura

i'm rewatching it again so spoilers if you haven't seen the movie :)

lemon named his gun Lucille

during the tang fight, after ladybug and tangerine climb back onto the train, tangerine literally grapples onto ladybug and flips him onto his ass ,, fic writers please mention this in ur fics i beg !!

tangerine is a kleptomaniac and he impulsively takes a momonga plushie + the goldfish biscuits

ladybug only has one outfit on the entire movie though it changes almost every other scene because of how many layers he's got on

lemon has a smidge of red eyeliner on his waterline (very small but you can see it and im obsessed,, it also matches his red suspenders)

tangerine has got a west ham sticker on his phone and west ham socks on

the prince has a string tied around her wrist tattoo, ladybug has got a tank, a human body with the anatomy labelled, and a wasp tattoo along with some other silly ones, tangerine has got two swallows on his wrists, a bull dog and two wrestling gloves with a cursive "Dad" written, and a W.H. 51 tattoo on his forearm

when the prince shoots lemon, you can see the diesel sticker he puts on her back

while almost every single character has got some form of jewelry on, kimura and his father are the only one who don't

speaking of jewelry; tangerine has a single gold hoop earring on his left ear (gay man symbol)

every character has their own personalized phone ex; the wolf has a black and gold embellished flip phone + the prince has a pink and white sakura flip phone

after lemon has his grieving scene with tangerine, you can see a gold ring added onto the pendant tangerine gives him

the twins literally took out the entirety of the white death's crew in bolivia

the white death wouldve died if ladybug didn't pull the brakes (though if he didnt pull the brakes they'd all be dead anyway)

ladybug instinctually covers his head and main arteries, he uses the case and shifts his head to the side from the knife the wolf throws and he tucks his body into the momonga mascot suit

spoilers (duh!)

- The TV’s are showing Momomon scenes that foreshadow moments in the film

- When Tangerine steps out into the road during his intro and almost gets ran over, the truck is the same Tangerine truck that The Prince gets hit with at the end of the film

- In the book, the briefcase is actually a suitcase, in the movie when Lemon confronts The Prince about the case, he says something along the lines of “Most people would assume it’s a suitcase, with the train being overnight”

- The Momomon Tangerine uses to silence his gun is the same Momomon that one of the White Deaths men used to try and suffocate Yuichi, he then kills the same man using the plush

- The marks on Yuichis neck are visible from when The Prince tased him

- I’m pretty sure The Prince had another bag on the train, a bigger bag. You can see it in one of the cubbies, it has a hot pink pompom keychain attached to it

- It was said in an interview that they experimented with a sea urchin but didn't keep it in, you can see it on the counter during the ladybug and tangerine fight scene, when tangerine goes to grab the chopsticks

- The tape The Prince uses to tie Yuichis hands together is Momomon branded

- The Princes ‘makeup’ pouch shown on the table is a Momomon pouch

Tangerine specific:

- There is a West Ham sticker in the back of his phone case

- He is wearing West Ham socks

- He has a West Ham Tattoo, it’s the clubs castle badge featuring the ‘Boleyn Castle’ with the two crossed hammers and the ‘W.H.U’ initials underneath

- He also has a sparrow tattoo on both of his arms

- He wears two gold rings on his right hand, one on his middle finger, the other on his ring finger. The middle one is a West Ham signet ring and the ring finger is a black stone. He also wears a hornet signet ring on his left pinky finger. And of course he also has his gold knuckle dusters

(Photos from auction. The large silver hornet signet is Ladybugs and was sold in the same lot.)

- His cuff links are little gold chains

- He wears a gold chain on his right wrist and a vintage Rolex watch on the other (Lemon also wears a vintage Rolex watch)

- The only time Tangerine seems threatened is when Lemon talks back to him

- When Tangerine pays for Ladybugs water his money is in an envelope not a wallet

- Tangerine and Lemon both get shot by Tangerines gun

Ladybug specific:

- Maria calls him ‘Little Ladybug’ when he first gets assigned the nickname

- At the end of the film after The Prince gets hit by the Tangerine truck, Yuichi throws a Tangerine to Ladybug

- He puts the wasabi peas in a small glass bowl before the fight with Hornet

- He is wearing a stack of three necklaces, one chain, one diamond, one thin

- He has two skull bracelets, one gold, one silver. And one thick multiple strand beaded bracelet. And a watch on his other wrist

Ladybug "I have such cosmic bad luck in a way that makes me lucky and f***s with the fate of everyone around me, homeless white man aesthetic, trying this zen thing I'll tell y'all when it works, f*** that d*** carver, literally did not ask for this"

Tangerine "sophisticated fruit, great walk, actually justified anger management issues, I love a man with an accent great walk too, an actual gentleman, pls reunite with lemon your last words TT), oh no what a great loss, rip though you deffo still looked good till your death, you were with us till the end in spirit"

Lemon "the fruit?, I don't bleed, Thomas the tank engine has led me so far in life, should've been more paranoid, unintentional death scene, shot everyone at least once, most chill, if lost pls return to tangerine, ignoring my mourning era and raging by ramming a diesel over, could be that he inherited tangerines anger after death he was mostly chill b4 that, will never look at a tangerine the same"

Kimura 'the father' Yuichi "I'm not drunk enough for this, homeless asian man, someone srsly shoot this girl, high cortisol throughout the movie, I'm surrounded by psychopaths (like you're normal 👀), was a pathetic wet cat all throughout the movie"

Kimura 'the elder' Shigeru "late to the party but welcomed all the same, wise old asian man, cool backstory, let me tell you a story it's short I promise so anyways, proverbs none of these monkeys understand these are my allies somehow, ooh sword cane, save my idiot son and fulfill my revenge arc like 2 decades late"

The Prince "chuunibyou to the max, she has mild luck unfortunately offset by ladybugs bad/good luck, daddy issues so bad she involved a father that's not hers to commit her patricide, nobody invited this kid, trying to mc aura so bad, diesel"

Wolf "cool montage but that was on you for trying to kill ladybug, funny how he survived whoops, idiota, 8mins max you were mostly a prop body"

Hornet "you brought it all to yourself, take better care of your stolen snake pls, who the hell doesn't carry extra antidote, they should've done the there's two hornets twist what a shame"

Maria "should've been just a simple mission, you must've experienced such interesting times being ladybugs handler, does not know how to comfort this crying white man she's somehow in charge of"

White death "still crying over his wife, tried controlling fate but fate said hell nah (could be just ladybug tbh), where's carver?! I want carver! Don't call me dude"

Bonus: that train Karen not minding her own business, hope girl with the snack cart's okay, the boomslang that survived allat, the water bottle that witnessed all that and stole a scene, also Channing Tatum coming out of nowhere as a gay with questionable kinks

Carver

-conflicts maria at every turn. barely explains why. she’ll be saying “it’d be best not to draw attention to yourself” and he’s hid behind a wall loading a gun going, “mary, mary--” “no that’s not my name” “i know what i’m doing” and then hangs up.

-gets her name wrong to fuck with her. They have known each other since they were like fifteen

-hours between check-ins. he doesn’t ever pick up so she just leaves her office and goes about her day until he calls her, at which point he’s in a totally different continent with the police and two criminal organisations out for his blood.

-he was given an agency-mandated phone and he takes up most (all) of the storage because he keeps fucking downloading mobile games. almost got shot delaying running away because tetris is a time-sensitive game. turns down maria's calls because he's too invested in getting those stupid beweled butterflies away from that stupid spider. once his battery ran out during a mission. randomly sends maria, ladybug, whoever sporadic "let's play 8 ball"s on messenger regardless of what time it is for either of them. no one has yet to turn them down.

-all of his missions totally derail. remember that time he assassinated the white death's wife? remember what happened after? yeah that but, like, almost every time.

-every scene is messier than humanely possible. the higher-ups hate him because he always ends up causing damage because a) he keeps crashing his vehicles. not even because he’s a bad driver. he never hits anything on accident, but he does drive super fast. but his favourite method of assassination is everything’s-on-fire-oh-fuck car crashes. b) more people than necessary die. and a few buildings crash. ok a lot of buildings.

-abhors waiting. maria’s like “ok sit still for like fifteen minutes. i’ll have a car come get you” and he’s like “no” and then she hangs up and then he’s getting ice cream. takes so many detours. so many. somehow is never late tho.

-actually very stealthy. phases in and out of the centre of attention. one second you’re like “this guy is definitely up to something i can’t have him disappear” you look away for one second and the building is on fire.

-he likes fire. did i mention that?

Tangerine

-obviously does most of his jobs with lemon.

-takes detours because he is easily distracted by books and shiny things. he pays for nothing despite being richer than god. kleptomaniac fuck.

-calls maria at every inconvenience to complain. most of the time their calls begin with him shouting. "mARIA, LOVE, YOU'LL NEVER FUCKING GUESS WHAT THIS FUCKING DICKHEAD JUST DID" "try to kill you?" "what no i'm talking about lemon. he ate the biscuits you packed for the both of us! like a fucking twat!"

-most reliable with jobs with more than one location. thrives on chaos and instability, despite his objections.

-very fast driver. goes zoom. never crashes and good at loosing tails. because he's a fucking car thief. however, he refuses to use cars he deems lame

-maria and lemon are the only people who can consistently tell when he's bullshitting. "oh, don't worry about that. everything going according to the half-baked absurdity your agency calls a plan." "hm, yeah?" "yes" "i don't think that's completely true" and then he looks around wildly because he's convinced she's watching him. she's not. but she knows.

-wakes up super early so he can spend an hour getting ready n shit. and then he gets upset at everyone for being behind schedule, as if the sun hasn't yet to fucking rise.

-high demand. everyone knows the twins. people keep asking for them. but tangerine's agonisingly pretentious, so if something's not "worth their time", he declines it. which shouldn't actually be a thing he's allowed to do, but people let him, because he's one of the twins.

-his dumbass boyfriend (🐞) calls to ask if he's okay. not tangerine, maria. he calls maria. unfortunately, he always calls when maria's guiding him though a very Not Okay situation. that or tang's been radio silent for a second and maria's filing her nails going, "yes, ladybug, your boyfriend is fine. he hasn't called about anything going wrong. he'll be back soon. what no i don't promise; i'm not tangerine. ok fine i promise. are you crying?--" and the camera pans to tangerine in a very Not Okay situation. the next time tang calls, maria connects the dots and is like "oh my god ladybug's a bad omen" next time ladybug calls and nothing's going on, she immediately calls tangerine, and what do ya know, he's in an active gunfight with the yakuza.

Lemon

-hates waking up early. his phone is on dnd at night. he gets notifications by morning, he just chooses to ignore them, even if it's his handler (🪲) or his brother (🍊). except for carver's "let's play __" on messenger because he thinks it's funny that 🍊 is so pissed off that he replies to fucking carver and not him.

-refuses to function without coffee. he goes to a bunch of cafes and has signature orders with so many specifications.

-downloaded thomas the tank engine on his agency-issued gadget to play random clips or episodes to prove his point about life and humanity or something.

-keeps misplacing said gadget. but it always shows up when he needs it.

-buys little souvenirs for people. except they're never just random tourist shit. they're specifically for that person. books, shiny things and lighters if it's tangerine. stationary, perfume and bug-themed shit if it's maria. pocket knives, postcards and memorabilia for yuichi. wacky/themed mugs, keychains and watches for ladybug. toys and stickers for wataru. the list goes on. and yes he fucking pays (side eye at 🍊)

-sneaks snacks into the bag/pocket of whoever his partner/s are. except it's not really sneaking because they always notice, even if they don't tell him. except for wolf, who somehow never notices and assumes he packed it himself even if he has no memory of doing so.

-calls whenever something happens or they're moving locations (the normal way and time youre supposed to call your handler). BUT sometimes he just calls when he's bored or pissed at his partner but wants to talk to someone.

-most if not all of his jobs go well, at least in the end (ignore the bullet train he survived that one). relatively easy to handle because he doesn't do anything outrageously outside of the script. it's always a close call, though. he'll lose something important and only find it the moment he actually needs it. he always get a little way too close to getting stabbed or shot.

-most of his conversations with maria derail (get it) because he never stops talking about thomas the tank engine, which is a much more interesting topic than the kidnapping the currently most prominent yakuza faction that formed in the power vacuum the white death left is plotting.

Yuichi

-he gets most of his jobs by maria calling him going "there's a political official who just wrapped up a speech two blocks away from you. do you have a gun?" "i always have a gun."

-actually relatively easy to handle. doesn't get into shit. barely takes detours. just wants to get paid.

-most of his jobs go by really quick and easy, but every now and again maria will pick up the phone and the first thing he says is "what the fuck" before launching into a rant about how none of this was his fault but now the street is on fire and the house is on fire and everything is on fire and he doesn't even know how.

-he likes doing stakeouts because they're low stakes low effort barely-even-have-to-care type jobs. he just watches movies for like four hours and then leaves for a few minutes to shoot someone or take a photo. and then he goes home.

-sometimes turns down jobs because there's no one to hang out with wataru. percy happened to be in the room once and offered to watch wataru but was immediately shut down because yuichi is not trusting him with his son. ladybug was also there and was like "hey wait you don't let me turn down jobs--" and then maria left.

-also maria, lemon, etsuko (cart girl), shigeru and the nurse assassin (i'm certain y'all have given her a name by now what is it) are the only people he trusts to watch wataru. lemon isn't actually trustworthy and always calls someone else to help him.

-always brings back toys or snacks for wataru after his missions because he doesn't have the time/energy to go out often

-checks in at normal intervals but forgets to mention integral information. "yes, i have the case." "have you run into anyone?" "no. is that all?" "you can hang up now." five minutes later maria gets a call saying "Also the case is empty. Is it supposed to be empty?" "...No, Yuichi. The case is not fucking supposed to be empty." maria has to waste all of their time asking extremely detailed questions.

-falls asleep during waiting/transit like the fucking dead. if someone calls, the ringing and the vibrating will not fuckin wake this man up. His partners on the mission have to shake him awake and that takes damn well minutes. twice he's gotten water splashed on his face. (once by tangerine who is notoriously impatient, once by ladybug who fucking panicked okay he's so sorry)
