'Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion The Animation' Episode 2 Spoilers: Hayato and Shashot Partner Up Against Monstrous Enemy!
Series protagonist Hayato Hayasugi has suddenly found himself piloting the Shinkalion E5 on the Japanese mecha anime series, "Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion The Animation."
But while this may well be the realization of every young boy's dreams, the preview for the next episode, titled "Clash! Shinkalion vs the Giant Monstrous Being," reveals that Hayato, who is being voiced by Ayane Sakura, will initially be at a lost on what to do next. And with the young boy doubting his own ability to pilot such a huge mecha all on his own, will he even be able to fight the monstrous threat that's standing right before him?
The preview further teases that he may still stand a chance. It seems that Shashot, the conductor robot voiced by Yuuji Ueda will be on hand to provide Hayato with the appropriate instructions in order to be able to efficiently pilot the Shinkalion.
And even though Hayato is surprised by how the robot sudden changed into such a supportive character, he takes Shashot's advice to heart and launches the Shinkalion's ultimate attack.
But will this really be enough to bring their monstrous enemy down?
