Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd., a private rail line connecting Osaka and Wakayama, collaborates with Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn to bring the "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn × Limited Express Rapi:t Second Coming of Char Limited Express Rapi:t Neo Zeon Version" into operation beginning April 26th. A special opening ceremony was held at Namba Station on its first day.
The ceremony was attended not only by a crowd awaiting their first glimpse at the red Rapi:t, but also by Shuichi Ikeda, voice of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn's "Full Frontal". Along with a tape-cutting on the platform, a painted sample of the imposing "HGUC Neo Zeong" was also unveiled.
Here's photos of the event!
