Machiju Evangelion 3rd ” has started on October 6, 2023 (Friday) in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. To coincide with the unveiling of the 7m long Spear of Longinus at Tokiwa Park, one of the Ube City Transportation Bureau buses running in the city was decorated with a wrapping vehicle.

Most of the buses operated by the Ube City Transportation Bureau have a cream-colored body with vermilion, green, and blue bands wrapped around them.



The city circulation route Megurina is operated by Hino Poncho, a small non-step bus.



One of them turned into an EVA wrapping bus like this one and appeared at Tokiwa Park.



Asuka, Rei, Shinji, Kaworu, and Mari are depicted on the right side of the vehicle. The base color is the purple of the first Eva, with green around the headlights and an orange line at the bottom of the side of the car.



The left side of the car body looks like this. Eva Unit 01 running behind the door is depicted, and the door is highlighted with orange and green around the door.



At the rear of the vehicle, the areas around the taillights and the lower part of the bumper are orange.



Misato will also make an announcement in the train, so the announcement was played while the train was stopped at the park. There are two types of announcements; one is an announcement that focuses on the JR Ube Line and Ube City Transportation Bureau's one-day passes, and is similar to ``Evangelion services throughout the town!''.

The other is an announcement that announces that various collaborations are being carried out, such as ``Service service available in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture!''.

After this, the wrapped bus was operating normally and I saw it running around Ube City. In-car announcements can be heard even outside the wrapped bus.

After that, I saw a wrapped bus taking a break between operations in front of Ube Shinkawa Station. It really stood out.



The wrapped bus and Misato's in-car announcement will be available until January 8, 2024 (Monday).
