Recently, subway users in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, have noticed a surprising addition to the safety signs. In an unexpected twist, characters from the popular anime and manga series Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) have been incorporated into the signs indicating the use of the elevator for people with special needs. The image has surprised fans of the series and users of this transport, with this most original safety campaign, in which the beloved characters of Frieren and Fern appear.
The unexpected appearance of Frieren and Fern de Sousou no Frieren on safety signs
In recent weeks, the KRTC (Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation) has implemented new safety signage in the Kaohsiung subway system. These signs are intended to guide the elderly, people with disabilities, those using baby strollers, pregnant women and passengers with large luggage to use the elevator instead of the stairs: the signs are designed to ensure easier and safer access to subway facilities in Taiwan.
However, what has caught the attention of subway users is the presence of characters from the popular anime and manga series Sousou no Frieren. On these signs, instead of the traditional standard images, the poster features a chibi-style illustration that includes the main characters of the series: Frieren, one of the main characters, is depicted pushing a baby stroller; the surprise for many is that Fern, another central character of the series, appears in the stroller as a baby.
This creative addition of characters from Sousou no Frieren has been widely shared on social media, where fans have expressed their enthusiasm and admiration for the unexpected inclusion. The image has not only attracted attention for its originality, but has also generated a wide range of comments from fans around the world who have shared and viewed this image, expressing their surprise and joy at encountering these beloved characters in such an unexpected context.
These safety signs are part of an effort to make the transportation system more user-friendly and accessible to all passengers, especially those with special needs. The Sousou no Frieren characters have been chosen for their popularity and appeal, which has helped make the signage more visible and memorable to users.
Furthermore, this signage, featuring the Sousou no Frieren characters, is located at several Kaohsiung subway stations. Additionally, one of the subway characters, Klaire, who normally works as a conductor, along with her younger sister, is part of the secret mission team, known as Kaohsiung Light Rail Girls, tasked with providing a safe and enjoyable ride for all passengers.
