The SequelSeries to ''Anime/ShinkansenHenkeiRoboShinkalion'', ''Shinkalion Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z'' premiered in April 2021, based off [[MerchanidiseDriven a new generation of transforming train figures]] by Takara Tomy.
Some time after ''Shinkalion'', a new generation of Shinkalions, known as Shinkalion Z, are being built. Shinkalion Zs are built alongside Zailiners, ''zairaisen'' (conventional trains) that transform into armours that compliment each of the new Shinkalions. However, the SUEI is still looking for suitable drivers. Not helping is that Abuto Usui, the ChildProdigy who helped design the Shinkalion Zs and Zailiners and is one of the few drivers the SUEI has actually trained by this point, doesn't have a high enough compatibility rating.
Enter Shin Arata, a mythology and cryptid buff who stumbles upon the SUEI and proves to have a sufficient compatibility rating, allowing him to become driver for the Shinkalion Z E5 ''Hayabusa''.
But just as Shin's compatibility is proven, a new group of Giant Monstrous Beings arises, and Shin and Abuto's destinies proceed on winding tracks…
