In the year XXXX, Japan is living in Harmony with Europe and Asia, but when a foreign entity has been causing all sorts of bullshit, it's up to these young heroes piloting Gigantic Mech-Robots made from Japan's bullet trains to restore harmony and peace.

Her unit is the NEO Shinkalion E5 series Hayabusa, a beastly 6-Car unit with 2 Samurai blades called the Twin-Turnstile Blades, and its finisher: Falcon Gran Cross. In Shinkalion 3: NEO, the E5 series Hayabusa takes a supporting role instead of a main role, because face it, the E5 series is getting FUCKING overrated anyway. However her career with the NEO Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa was cut short when the train was destroyed by the Enemy when she was about to enter a battle, so Vanellope decides to break all the rules and develop a Shinkalion of her own without anyone noticing.
Vanellope would find her way to Britain, and she would find the PERFECT Replacement of the destroyed NEO Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa. The next time she returns, she drives an "Illegal" Shinkalion: NEO Shinkalion Flying Scotsman, which is... OH SHIT, FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK, A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE SHINKALION?! VANELLOPE YOU FUCKING PSYHOPATH!! Okay, okay sorry. So, the NEO Shinkalion Flying Scotsman is the first ever Steam locomotive to be a Shinkalion Unit, consisting of the Flying Scotsman, the world's Number One Famous Steam Locomotive (Not sorry, Thomas, because it's the fucking truth!) as the lead locomotive (The Engine is the Chest and Torso while the Tender is the Jetpack), Four LNER Gresley Teak Composite Coaches (2 as hands and 2 as legs), and an LNER Gresley Teak Brake Composite Coach as the wings. The weapon is Two Turnstile Katanas, and the finisher is now Glitch-Gran-Cross, but the Smokebox opens like a mouth, and has an Angry Face whenever the unit transforms into Shinkalion mode. Either way Vanellope you're FUCKING DRUNK!
Oh and speaking of the E5 Hayabusa, well, she FUCKING FIXED most of the train, missing its lead locomotive, and guess what? To make her more mentally insane, she has the NEO Shinkalion E5 TOWED RIGHT FUCKING BEHIND NEO Shinkalion Flying Scotsman, behind a large makeshift container van! Yeah, the attack that initially destroyed the E5 took a severe toll on Vanellope that she lost everything she loved.
And it gets FUCKING WORSE: Turns out the entire United Kingdom painted her as a CRIMINAL because she stole the FUCKING Flying Scotsman and converted it into a Shinkalion unit, which is apparently FROWNED upon by Steam Locomotive enthusiasts, and then Vanellope gets chased out by an angry mob like Leafy was in BFDIA, forcing Vanellope to yet again move to another universe, and will forever live a life of loneliness and misery until her death (Because this is an Anime, she is mortal), all because some motherfuckers destroyed her old universe and some other motherfuckers were being unjustifiably cruel to her out of spite.
NEO Shinkalion E5 series Hayabusa's Shinkalion form consists of the lead locomotive as the torso, two pantographed center cars as legs, two non-pantographed center cars as hands, and the back locomotive as the wings.

With the cars of NEO Shinkalion E5 series Hayabusa combined, the two pantographed center cars combined to form a Centaur body, the non-pantographed center cars became the back legs, and the back locomotive of the NEO Shinkalion E5 series Hayabusa is formed as a dragon tail.

His Shinkalion Unit is the NEO Shinkalion E4 series MAX Toki, a beastly 6-Car unit with no need for weapons as Daiki is a wrestler. Strangely enough, he has an additional in his arsenal instead, acting as an Automated Shinkalion unit as if it was a Zailiner from the previous generation (Shinkalion Z) but instead as Twin-standalone Shinkalion units (The E1 series is split into 2) NEO Shinkalion E1-A series MAX Tanigawa and E1-B series MAX Asahi, both are 3-Car units, and all 3 units can Ultra-Combine into a GIGANTIC NEO Shinkalion E4 X E1 KAIJU Mode, a 10-Car Ultra-Combined unit with a 4-Legged-Centaur body like the Dark Shinkalion Centaur Mode, and the finisher is MAX Sumo CRASH.

Unlike Hokuto, Hatsumi has a high compatibility rating, which is abnormal for adults, same goes to her husband Hanzo Tetsudo.
==== Team Shadow ====

This organization is a Vigilante, and its leader is a Shinkalion pilot. Team Shadow's civilization is made up of spirits of deceased humans that were surprise SURPRISE, Killed by Entitled Motorists in the United States. These spirits managed to possess physical forms thanks to the leader, but despite having been reincarnated to Second Life, not all of them can move-on and live this new life, two of them are still in constant mental and psychological pain and misery, and they turn out to be reincarnated forms of Molly's sisters.
===== Captain Shadow =====
Captain Shadow is the leader of Team Shadow, and she is a Shinkalion Pilot. Her Shinkalion unit resembles the Shinkansen 500 series Nozomi, albeit painted black with a shark design in the front and a GT-Wing on the back with a shark tail shape, called the Shadowy Shinkansen. Unlike the Black Shinkalion, Black Shinkalion Ogre and Dark Shinkalion (Z), the Shadowy Shinkansen train has blue and white linings, and the windows also have light. This unit is the Shadow NEO Shinkalion, a 6-Car unit with 2 Shadow-Sabers, and its finisher: Shadow-Gran-Cross. This is the first ever dark colored Shinkalion to NOT have alternative modes excluding Black Shinkalion Crimson.
Unlike Black Shinkalion and Dark Shinkalion (Z), Shadow NEO Shinkalion DOESN'T have an alternative bright colored version, since the pilot is already on the Heroic side anyway.
Shadow NEO Shinkalion's Shinkalion form consists of the lead locomotive as the torso, two pantographed center cars as the hands, two non-pantographed center cars as the legs, and the back locomotive (If you can call it that) as the wings.
==== Shutorai ====

=== Collins Inc. ===
Collins Inc. is the Villain Faction in Shinkalion 3: NEO. Unlike the previous, Collins Inc. is in the human realm, consisting of humans who went drunk with power. Collins Inc. is a major investment company in the Car Industry, working together with American Car giants GM, Ford and Tesla, and influencing Car-Centric lifestyle which has plagued the entire universe, with Japan being the last one to be plagued.
==== Larry Collins De Townley ====
Larry Collins De Townley is the main antagonist and villain in Shinkalion 3: NEO. He is the CEO of Collins Inc., and has been using his Political Power to plague the world (Almost) into submission to the Car. He's also the mastermind in building giant highways in the world. Larry despised high speed rail, and thus uses aggressive violence like Bombing high speed railway lines on many countries and builds highways in their place. When he discovers that a group of heroes are fighting back, he retaliates by developing his own combat vehicle called the DEATHMOBILE, a 30-Wheeler ELECTRIC B-Double-Semi-Trailer Truck. It is an ENORMOUS vehicle that is literally giant sized with the hood being twice taller than NEO Shinkalion 0 Over-X 923 Dr. Yellow Over-X ALFA-X. The DEATHMOBILE has a Bullbar and a Metal Plow in the front. It also has giant tank turrets on top of the trailers.
In the Climax of the season, Larry and his company would perform a Doomsday Ritual to END Japan's railways, the LAST Remaining railway IN THE WORLD (In this universe), and the ritual would claim all of his employees' lives, and transform him into a bipedal wolf wearing a black cloak and wielding 2 scythes, revealing that Larry is the BIG BAD WOLF from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, where shortly after the Wolf killed Puss (By STABBING Puss' anus using one of his sickles that pierced through Puss' mouth) after "Admitting defeat", saying that the former DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN FUCK about Puss, he conquered the universe where Puss lives, and became a Vile Game Host EGOMANIAC who takes pride in ruling a world where you play a series of KILL OR BE KILLED death games to win money (And this universe is cursed with Resurrective Immortality on EVERYONE, where each death made them more violent and murderous, and each kill grants the killer money). This takes place in an alternate reality where Dreamworks was the company that has GONE WOKE instead of Disney and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish was the FINAL movie the company made before shutting down, and the Shrek franchise ending on a bitter note. However, Larry (Now in the Wolf's form) would soon meet his demise at the hands of Vanellope Von Schweetz, who revealed that Larry was the cause of her tragic crash that forced her to flee her old universe before it was taken over and destroyed.
==== Marvin Wilfred ====
Marvin Wilfred is one of the major villains who takes pride in spearheading with Highway Constructions across the world. He's also the one responsible for the bombing of Amsterdam, albeit no one is aware of it and that he managed to pin the blame on an innocent alien civilization for being the one to bomb Amsterdam, and they all fell for it by committing a false genocide on an innocent civilization without realizing their mistake. When attempting to attack Japan, Marvin uses his latest tech intelligence to create Giant Monstrous Beings, and when most failed, he was granted access to Death-Wheeler-01, a Giant 6-Wheeler SUV-T in the shape of a Tesla Model X amalgamated with the Cyber Truck.
==== Rick Hansen ====
Rick Hansen is one of the major villains who takes pride in spreading Car-Centric Propaganda. He's responsible for sabotaging High Speed Railway lines, such as directing trains to crash into each other, causing fatal head-on collisions that killed millions of innocent passengers. When he's targeting Japan's Shinkansen lines, many of his plans are thwarted by the Shinkalion pilots, because they were fighting the Giant Monstrous Beings that ARE the cause of sabotage in Japan's railways, and whenever a Giant Monstrous Being is defeated, the trains that are sabotaged are forced to stop. It turns out that Rick NEEDS the Giant Monstrous Beings Marvin created so that Rick can have access to JR's system. And when no other option is available, Larry grants Rick access to Death-Wheeler-02, a Giant 6-Wheeler SUV-T in the shape of a Ford F150, amalgamated with Ford Explorer and Everest.
===== Devin Wellington =====
Devin Wellington is one of the major villains who takes pride in the Asset management of Collins Inc. He's the one who buys out many transit companies, just to shut them all down, and is also setting up train crashes just like Rick does, but Devin can only hack conventional railways, not High Speed Rail ones like Rick does. Later, he would join forces with Rick to sabotage Japan's conventional railways, and when that failed, Devin is granted access to Death-Wheeler-03, a Giant 6-Wheeler SUV-T in the shape of a Chevrolet Silverado amalgamated with the Chevrolet Suburban.
==== Harold Vincent ====
Harold Vincent is one of the major villains who takes pride in the sales department. Making deals with America's Car Manufacturers, Harold sells America's most infamous SUVs and Pick-Up Trucks known to be Energy intensive, Polluting, Wasteful, Impractical, and Heavy. Many car manufacturers from the other countries are suffering thanks to Harold's magic: hacking enemy car manufacturer vehicles to become hazardous themselves, killing the drivers and even pedestrians and cyclists. Not helped with the fact that Bike infrastructures are also destroyed in favor of Stroads. When Harold attempts this in Japan and failed, Larry grants Harold access to Death-Wheeler-04, a Giant 6-Wheeler SUV-T in the shape of a Hummer EV amalgamated with GMC Sierra Denali and Cadillac Lyriq.
==== Collins Inc. Minions ====
Collins Inc. Minions are the "Employees" of the corporation. They all drive America's SUVs and Pick-Up Trucks, causing all sorts of shit on the roads, and even using them to destroy Rail Infrastructures using stolen Military Weapons from "Enemy" Countries. One of them turns out to be the one who killed Molly's sisters, and another was involved in an attempted murder at HAYATO Fucking Hayasugi, the original protagonist of the series who is now hospitalized in London, suffering extreme physical injuries, but thankfully was able to recover due to his service as a Shinkalion pilot.
=== Previous Generation Shinkalion Pilots ===
==== Hayato Hayasugi ====
The original Shinkalion Protagonist and the first pilot in the series. He's back for revenge against someone who attempted to murder him in a Hit'n-Run. Piloting the original Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa Mk. 2, he's back in action, and in the later half of Shinkalion 3: NEO, he is granted access to an Automated Original Shinkalion ALFA-X (Which his father's younger self once piloted) for Shashot to pilot. To his shock, the lead Shinkalion for the NEO Generation is NOT an E5, and that's how he would acknowledge that he has a fan girl being Aiko.
==== Shin Arata ====
The Second Generation Shinkalion Protagonist from the second season: Shinkalion Z. He's back for some unfinished business. And on the same boat with Hayato, Shin was nearly ran over by an SUV, but unlike Hayato, Shin escaped, and has a feeling that the driver was against Shinkalion pilots. Not only that, apparently he heard that Abuto and Seiryuu have gone missing when the two are out on a mission, and the Black Shinkalion AND the Dark Shinkalion were missing, leaving only the Black Shinkalion Ogre, sealed in the Underground of Tokyo Station. Shin would return to pilot his Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa and the Zailiner E235 Yamanote to become the Shinkalion Z E5 Perfect Yamanote.
==== Seiryuu ====
One of the Kitoralsus members. He is the pilot of the Black Shinkalion, and has been reportedly gone missing, along with Abuto Usui.
==== Abuto Usui ====
One of the Teoti members. He's Shin's friend who pilots the Dark Shinkalion (Absolute) and like Seiryuu, has been reportedly gone missing.
== Trivia ==
* This is the first Shinkalion season to be themed around fighting against the Car, a mode of transportation that has been notoriously deemed as Least Efficient, Stressful, Wasteful, Energy Intensive, Dangerous and Deadly AGAINST Life. This is especially true because despite the fact that Galaga!Heroverse U.S.A. is literally Human+Bike+PublicTransit-Centric, some motherfuckers are planning to turn the country and the entire world Car-Centric using propaganda bullshit, which turns out to be the American Car Industry wanting REVENGE against the Rail Industry in America and the rest of the world.
* Despite being Automotive oriented, Vanellope Von Schweetz, the protagonist of Sugar Rush Speedway (Series) token Ink-Suit-Actor of Shinkalion 3: NEO is a Shinkalion Pilot which shocks viewers when she first appeared piloting the NEO Shinkalion E5 series Hayabusa, but this is NOT shocking to those who acknowledged that she DOES pilot a train in her home series.
* Off-Topic, since Dreamworks shut down in 2022 in this Alternate Reality, a new company to take in Dreamworks' reign is The Spearlight Animation Company, a Japanese 3D Animated movie company with its first movie: Kraken Hero, receiving positive reviews and critical acclaim, rivaling Disney, Sony and Illumination. Spearlight Animation Company would also be responsible for the Shinkalion 3: NEO movie: Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion NEO: The Dream Trains From The Future-Verse, starring the NEO Shinkalion N500 series Nozomi and the NEO Shinkalion E5XL series MAX-Hayabusa.
