Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion 3: NEO

In Galaga!Heroverse, Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion 3: NEO is the 3rd generation of the Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion series. Since this is the 3rd generation, Base Shinkalion units are formed using 3 cars instead of two, and historic Shinkansen Trains like the 0 series, 100 series, 300 series, E2 series and E4 series for an example are also used as Shinkalion units. (NOT to be confused with the Common Timeline's own version of Shinkalion Season 3: Change The World)

## Story

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. However, this evil organization they are fighting, seems to have Dirtier, Vile, and far more Monstrous motives, and are bringing forth a War.

Aiko knows about Hayato and Shin, and she is the first to actively be auditioning for Shinkalion Pilot recruits.

##### Molly McGraham

Molly McGraham is the FIRST foreigner protagonist of the series, coming from Britain. Molly isn't fond of trains that much, since she was once a car enthusiast until a tragic fate has turned her AGAINST cars: Her little sisters were ran over by a Reckless SUV motorist in America. Molly griefs over her sisters' deaths that she swore to NEVER drive a car, which is where she will grow to like trains instead, transforming her hobby for race cars into a disliking of Car-Centrism America is suffering from, and now into "***MORTAL FEAR***" from the trauma of her sisters' falsely undeservingly gruesome and violent deaths. Her unit is NEO Shinkalion 100 series Hikari, a 4-car unit and the first one in a Starter Line-Up to be formed of more than 3 cars. Molly's unit came with 2 Straight Line Gatling Guns.

Though despite his popularity he's an introvert. His unit is the NEO Shinkalion 300 series Nozomi, which is another 3-Car unit.

This unit has something called the Signal Katana for its main weapon, and the finisher is the Signal-Starcutter.

##### Vanellope Von Schweetz

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 overrated anyway. However her career with the NEO Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa was cut short when the train was destroyed by the Enemy during 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 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, Glitch-Gran-Cross still exist, 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!

##### Ryosuke Nakazato

#### Joetsu Branch Unit

##### Daiki Torimaru

Daiki Torimaru is a young boy from Niigata, and he is an aspiring Sumo Wrestler. 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.

#### Hokuriku Branch Unit

##### Kazumi Morioka

Kazumi Morioka is a girl from Kanazawa. Her Shinkalion unit is the NEO Shinkalion E2 series Asama, a 3-Car unit with roller skates, and has a Drill-like weapon called the Wheel Drill, something first generation Shinkalion Pilot Tsuranuki used on the original Shinkalion E7 series Kagayaki., Speaking of Kagayaki, Kazumi, like Daiki, has an additional automated Shinkalion train: NEO Shinkalion E7 series Kagayaki, a 3-Car unit that serves as a Dummy ally to Kazumi's unit, and can combine into the NEO Shinkalion E2 x E7 Shin-Hokuriku, and this formation gave Kazumi 2 Wheel Drills instead of one.

#### Special Unit

##### Hanzo Tetsudo

Aiko's father who works as a train driver, since he turned 21. Just like Hokuto, he is also a Shinkalion pilot. Mentored by Hokuto, Hanzo's unit is the NEO Shinkalion 923 Dr. Yellow, which is surprisingly a 7-Car unit with a Sword and a Shield: Plasma-Blade and Lumination Shield. Aiko and Hanzo's units can Cross-Combine to become NEO Shinkalion 0 X 923 Dr. Yellow, with a new weapon called: Plasma-Speedsaber, and the finisher: Plasma NEO Gran Cross. Unlike Hokuto, Hanzo has a high compatibility rating, which is abnormal for adults, same goes to his wife Hatsumi Tetsudo.

##### Hatsumi Tetsudo

Aiko's mother who works as a train conductor, usually on the same train Hanzo is assigned to. Hatsumi is the first female adult Shinkalion Pilot, with her unit being the 6-Car unit NEO Shinkalion ALFA-X, with 2 spears called: ALFA-X Double Spears. The NEO Shinkalion ALFA-X can combine with the NEO Shinkalion 923 Dr. Yellow to become NEO Shinkalion 923 Dr. Yellow X ALFA-X, and can Triple-Cross-Combine with Aiko's NEO Shinkalion 0 Series to become NEO Shinkalion 0 Over-X 923 Dr. Yellow Over-X ALFA-X (Aiko's front car/Lead-Locomotive splits in half like the original Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa Mk. 2) to house the ALFA-X Lead-Locomotive), with the newest super weapon: Twin Plasma-X Sabers, and the finisher: NEO Plasma-X Gran Cross. Unlike Hokuto, Hatsumi has a high compatibility rating, which is abnormal for adults, same goes to her husband Hanzo Tetsudo.

#### Team Shadow

Team Shadow is an organization in the form of an otherworldly civilization like the Kitoralsus and Teoti, but unlike the former two, Team Shadow is NOT an Evil organization. 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 is a black Shinkansen train that resembles the Shinkansen 500 series 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 Shinkalion, a 3-Car unit with 2 Shadow-Sabers, and its finisher: Shadow-Gran-Cross. As tradition of black colored Shinkalion units, the Shadow Shinkalion has 2 alternative modes too.

The first is Shadow Shinkalion Dragon Mode, adding 2 more cars that form the Shadow Dragon as a Support-Mech. Unlike the Black Dragon and subsequently the Black Shinkalion Dragoon mode, the Shadow Shinkalion Dragon Mode is a 5-Car unit with the Back-Locomotive (Which forms the Wings) being reformed as the replacement tail of the Shadow Dragon, as the original tail becomes the Shadow Spear, which is also combined with the 2 Shadow-Sabers to form a Trident. The Shadow Dragon also has 4 Claw-Legs instead of two.

Then the second, which is Shadow Shinkalion Deity Mode, ADDING 4 MORE cars instead of dismantling the Support-Mech (Shadow Dragon) (One for an additional body with 2 Claw-Legs making the dragon 6-Legged, another one for the new pair of Torso-Wings, and the last 2 as stronger back legs). The result is a 9-Car 6-Legged-4-Winged Shinkalion unit, with its most powerful main weapon: Shadow Scythe, and the finisher: Deity Gran Cross.

Unlike Black Shinkalion and Dark Shinkalion (Z), Shadow Shinkalion DOESN'T have an alternative bright colored version, since the pilot is already on the Heroic side anyway.

### Shinkalion Ultra Evolution Institute

#### Commander Kuroko Tokaido

Commander Kuroko Tokaido is the commander of the SUEI in Shinkalion 3: NEO, succeeding Saijo Sogo. She is the commander of the Tokaido Main Unit. Kuroko is the one who came up with the idea of using historic Shinkansen trains as Shinkalion units and was an active participant in developing the NEO Shinkalion units, starting with the 0 series Hikari which Aiko would pilot.

##### Jotaro Hoshizora

Jotaro Hoshizora, the father of Togo Hoshizora, is the instructor of the Shinkalion NEO Tokaido Main Unit. He's an expy of Jotaro Kujo from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventures series.

### 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 (By saying: "Do you think i would let a fat fuck like you live?!"), 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.
