Shinkalion E5 x(cross) 500 is the combination of Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa and Shinkalion 500 Kodama.
Description[]
History[]
Debuting during first battle against the Black Shinkalion Berserker Mode, the E5 and 500 combined to continue the battle in place of the H5, 800, and the severely damaged N700A Advanced Mode. Although its Super Gran Cross attack was canceled out by the Black Shinkalion's Hell Gran Cross in the first attempt, it eventually succeeded in overpowering its opponent using a second Super Gran Cross attack with external power supply from the Ultra Evolution Electric Freight. Following this, the E5 x 500 was used sporadically in the rest of the summer, until an upgrade test for the combination was postponed in response to the emergence of Overlord Nobunaga. The combination was utilized again half year later against Kairen during the SUEI's second attempt to reach the former SUEI founder Isaburo Yatsushiro. After Hokuto transferred to the 923 Doctor Yellow, the E5 x 500 was permanently disused.
Weaponry and abilities[]
Combining the E5's speed with the 500's power, the E5 x 500 is a proficient fighter, matching the Black Shinkalion Berserker Mode and even overpowering Kairen's decoy Giant Monstrous Being form. In addition to hand-to-hand combat, the combination wields the Turnstile Trident, a combination between the E5's Super Turnstile Sword and the 500's Signal Spear. The combination also allows E5's Gran Cross cannon to fire an enhanced variant of the beam known as the Super Gran Cross, though prior to an upgrade to the 500's power systems it could only be used once without draining an entire SUEI facility for an emergency recharge.
Formation[]
The combination features the E5's upper body with its arms folded back behind the torso. The front car and end car of the 500 form the arms of the combination, attaching to E5's torso by a grey assembly formed from the front bogey of the 500's end car. The middle car forming the 500's legs now forms the combination's thighs, while the calves and feet are formed from the car that made up the 500's arms. Additionally, a golden head gear is now attached to the E5's head.
Trivia[]
- The E5 x 500 is one of the only Shinkalion combinations to be featured in the 2015 web series, with the other being Shinkalion Trinity.
- In the web series, the E5 x 500's finisher was mainly the Turnstile Trident, which was supplanted in the anime by the Super Gran Cross.
- The 500 end cars forming the shoulder pads evoke a number of design similarities to other robots, namely the Brave Series' Might Gaine and GaoGaiGar. The latter is most notable because it's shoulder pads are explicitly formed from the 500 series-based LinerGao.
