Plot
Ladybug is an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe—all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives—on the world’s fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning. Based on the novel “Maria Beetle” by Isaka Kotaro.
Trivia
Goofs / Tidbits
On a couple of occasions the train is shown taking rather tight turns at a high rate of speed. The N700 Shinkansen travelling at cruising speed (250 kph) needs a radius of 2500 meters to remain safe and stable.
