Shinkalion: Change the World

Synopsis

A mysterious enemy known as "Unknown" emerged without warning in the distant past. To counter this threat, the "Evolutionary Railway Development Agency" (ERDA) created the "Shinkalion," a robot that can transform into bullet trains, standing ready for any future danger. Taisei Oonari, a second-year junior high student, enrolls at Shinkai Gakuen Middle School hoping to uncover leads about his older sister, who vanished two years prior. His wish is simple: to become someone strong enough to protect others. But when the Unknown resurfaces after a decade-long silence, Taisei finds himself thrust into the pilot seat. His unexpectedly high aptitude for operating a Shinkalion forces him into a critical choice: to fight or to flee. What is the true identity of the Unknown, and what does it truly seek? What truth will surface when the battle reaches its end? The tale of these boys' resolve and their journey of growth begins here.
