Shinkarion incorporates the "features" of the "Shinkansen N700S Nozomi!
1) Transportable Battery Supreme Dragon
The "Battery Self-Propulsion System" installed in JR Tokai's "Shinkansen N700S Nozomi" has been incorporated into the product as the "Transportable Battery Supreme Dragon" in the character's design.
The "battery self-propulsion system" of the "Shinkansen N700S Nozomi" is designed to run on its own at low speed even when the train stops for a long period of time due to an earthquake or other reasons. The "Transportable Battery Supreme Dragon" can further power up the attack of the "Shinkarion N700S Nozomi" and support mode changes to maximize the Shinkarion's ability to fight alone.
*The "Transportable Battery Supreme Dragon" cannot be used as an actual battery.



2) Concentration plug

The "Shinkansen N700S Nozomi" has power outlets in every seat, which are used in this product as "Concentration Plugs" that can be plugged into the Shinkarion itself and its weapons to perform special moves.
The "Concentration Plug" is located at the end of the tail (concentration cable) of the "Transportable Battery Supreme Dragon" and can be plugged into the arms, legs, and weapons (Kurumadomegan Blade) of the Shinkarion. In the original animation, special moves utilizing the "Concentration Plug" are shown, allowing the user to expand the play image and enjoy the game more.
*The "Concentration Plug" cannot be used as an actual outlet. Also, the special moves are based on character settings, and no sound or action is generated by plugging it in.
