Guilty Crown: Yuzuriha Inori 02

Yuzuriha Inori was supposed to be used as a sacrifice for the rebirth of Mana but the plan failed as she was saved by her partner, Ouma Shu. However, she began expressing more erratic behavior after the incident, killing two other students and stabbing Kuhouin Arisa through her hand. She was eventually captured by the resurrected Gai and Da'ath as she tried to protect Shu.

Japan Comiket 82 has come and gone, but here come the vast email flood of beautiful cosplayers in my inbox! I think I will eventually have to update this site twice a day again to finish all the requests. Thanks again to 2chmod for sending this in!

Final Fantasy X: Bahamut

Bahamut, sometimes called “The Dragon King”, is one of the most popular summons in the Final Fantasy series. He has appeared in several installments, including his own game entitled “Bahamut Lagoon”. Bahamut is typically depicted as the strongest among storyline summons and most of the time, the player must prove that they are worthy by winning a battle against Bahamut himself, or in rare occasions, another storyline boss.

I don’t know from which of the Final Fantasy series this Bahamut is, but needless to say, their cosplay is fantastic! Thanks to Jazz for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to 愛子 藤原 for letting me know that this Bahamut came from Final Fantasy X!

Dead or Alive: Kasumi 05

Because she is now considered to be a traitor, Kasumi has been constantly hunted by assassins sent by her own clan. However, she still wished to see her brother Hayate, who was now the clan’s leader, and her half-sister Ayane. Kasumi entered the third DOA tournament hoping to meet with them one last time.

Another amazing cosplay by Shooting Star’s! I love the crane design she has on her outfit. And the ribbons on her stockings add a nice touch. Thanks to Sean for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji II: Alois Trancy 06

Born on November 5, 1875, Alois is a bipolar child who appears to be happy and carefree, but is actually quite morbid and manipulative. He gouged out his servant Hannah’s left eye simply to see if it will annoy his servants. It was was thought that Alois was kidnapped after birth, thus resulting in his mother’s suicide.

This looks absolutely gorgeous! Although the contributor, Lilica is not too sure if this is Alois or not since he’s not wearing his signature coat. What do you guys think?

Kuroko no Basuke Cast

When Teiko Middle School’s basketball team suddenly rose to distinction for their superior skill, the five regulars of the team became known as the “Generation of Miracles”. However, there was in fact a sixth player from the Generation of Miracles, Kuroko Tetsuya, who now attends Seirin High and wishes to make his school the top basketball team in Japan. In order to do so, he must fight against each of his former teammates, who are each attending different high schools as well.

Awesome team cosplay is awesome! Even though I haven’t seen this yet, after reading the description, I think I really want to watch it now. Thanks again to Pandora for sending this in!

Coin and Flour: Flour and Coin

Meet Flour, one of Heaven’s mail separators, and Coin, Hell’s delivery man. Two separate fates, two separate worlds, two completely different individuals who will eventually meet at the crossroads of destiny. Could an angel and a demon really find love?

This is probably one of my favorite series from Oh No! Manga. And the characters are cosplayed beautifully by Loki Heart and Jemkun AppleSeed! My thanks to photographer Erving Go for allowing me to share this on site!

Gokusen: Yamaguchi Kumiko “Yankumi” and Sawada Shin

As the granddaughter of the Yakuza boss, Kuroda of the Kuroda Ikka, Yamaguchi Kumiko is next in line to become the head of the family business, but her lifelong dream has always been to become a teacher. While her grandfather approves of her dream, there are many others in the family who wishes for her to become the next boss. When she finally becomes a teacher at an all-boys private high school, her class is full of delinquents and Sawada Shin is one of her first students to suspect that she was no ordinary teacher.

Cute cosplay by Juliann Ysabel and her friend, whose name we’ve yet to know! That punch looks a bit painful, are teachers even allowed to do that? Thanks again for sending this in!

Seikon no Qwaser: Alexander "Sasha" Nikolaevich Hell and Ekaterina "Katja" Kurae

Thanks to her doll-like features and childish demeanor, Ekaterina Kurae has a strong following from the student body of St. Mihailov Elementary School and is entitled their queen. It is possibly because of this following that she has attempted to subjugate her comrade-in-arms, Sasha, whom she had almost defeated when the two Qwasers first met.

Ekaterina is often hinted to have deep connections with the late Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family, the last monarch of Russia.

Awesome cosplay bu Japanese cosplayers, Kara and Hizuki Yuuki! But I have to say that the location and photography is equally impressive as the cosplayers themselves. Thanks again to Anthony for sending this in!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Belarus 02

Russia’s younger sister, Belarus strikes fear to the hearts of many due to her harsh and intimidating demeanor. She wishes to marry her brother someday, and despises Lithuania, who happens to have a crush on her. Belarus doesn’t like anyone who becomes close to Russia and tends to remain by his side to threaten those who dare to come near.

Another amazing cosplay by Yukino! In case you’re looking for her Deviant Art account, she’s moved to ~Rii-ki-AruxKol. Thanks again for sending this in!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Yami Marik and Marik Ishtar

The Ishtars have guarded the tomb of the Pharaoh for many generations. As their heir, Marik received the Millennium Rod and with his Ghouls organization, he wished to obtain the three Egyptian God Cards to unlock their power and gain the title of “Pharaoh” in order to set his family free. In the Japanese anime, Marik was led to believe that the Pharaoh was responsible for his father’s death and therefore sought revenge on the ancient Pharaoh’s soul.

Great cosplay by Jesshime as Yami Marik and Alice Locket as Marik! I’m beginning to wonder if they’re twins or if they just have really similar make-up. They both look amazing nonetheless! Thanks again to Cherokee for sending this in!

Final Fantasy XIII: Éclair Farron aka Lightning 04

A series of web novellas entitled “Final Fantasy XIII: Episode Zero: Promise” by Jun Eishima depicted the thirteen days leading up to the beginning of Final Fantasy XIII. In the first part of the series, "Encounter", Lightning opposed the engagement of her younger sister Serah to the leader of the rebel group NORA, Snow Villiers. Lightning had not realized that Serah has become a l'Cie on her 21st birthday until it was too late. She then resigned as Sergeant of the Guardian Corps in order to go with Sazh Katzroy to save her sister.

Awesome cosplay by Jess Jagmin! She wore this in Anime North 2011 which was held in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Not only is Jess a great cosplayer, but she’s a graphic designer as well! Be sure to check out her portfolio for more of her work! Thanks again for sending this in!

Naruto: Shippuden: Deidara

A former ninja of Iwagakure, Deidara was a terrorist bomber-for-hire before Uchiha Itachi forced him to join the Akatsuki. Though he came to embrace the organization, Deidara holds a grudge against Itachi and all of the Uchiha because he feels their Sharingan eyes look down on his abilities. He was initially partnered with Sasori, but Sasori is replaced by Tobi after his death.

This is pretty awesome and also a little creepy! But the character is really well-cosplayed in this photo! Thanks to Jeannie for sending this in!
