The Shinkirō possesses an Absolute Defense System (絶対守護領域, Zettai Shugo Ryōiki) which uses an array of hexagonal energy shields that can be projected over any part of the Knightmare. In addition to the standard control yoke system, the Shinkirō has keyboard-based controls similar to those used on the Gawain. Its feet are not round, instead consisting of eight large toes, and its head has four eyes. Its armor is primarily black and gold, and it has several unusual physical features.
It possesses an integrated Air Glide System for flight and can transform into a submarine/jet-fighter to move underwater and/or fly, which Lelouch uses to travel to and from Japan undetected. The ' Shinkirō' (蜃気楼 Shinkirō) is an Eighth Generation Transformable Knightmare Frame constructed for Zero’s ( Lelouch vi Britannia) personal use.
