Final Fantasy XII: Rasler Heios Nabradia

It’s been a while since I last added a photo in the Unknown Category… Google has made it a lot easier to identify most cosplays that I’m not familiar with, but it appears it has no information about this particular photo.

I am guessing he’s either from Final Fantasy or Ragnarok, but my searches came up with nothing. It would be a shame not to know more about this character since the details of his armor are pretty amazing.

If you have any idea who he is or who the character is, please do leave a comment below! Thanks to luaR for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to yoraikun for letting me know this is a cosplay of Rasler Heios Nabradia from Final Fantasy XII!

Kuroshitsuji: Ciel Phantomhive 18

一人にしないで　もう察して　彩めて
Don’t leave me alone, take my hint and make me colorful already
どの言葉も　君の部屋では　すり抜けていくの
No matter what your words are, they slip out of your room
乱れて　眠って　それ以上を教えて？
Getting confused, falling asleep- Tell me there’s more than that?
笑顔の問いに　迷う吐息　月だけが見てる
The sighs are lost in the question behind a smile; only the moon is watching

次の長い針が　天井に届く頃には
When the next long needle points to the ceiling
君はもういない　私はもういらない
You won’t be around anymore; I won’t need you anymore

That skull is extra creepy, but I know that this is probably one of the most popular illustrations of Ciel. Thanks to LinBlue for sharing this!

Death Note: Amane Misa 09

気をつけて神様は見てる。
Be careful, God is watching.
暗い夜道は手をつないでください！
In a street blacked by night, please link our hands together.
一人で遠くでもいつも見つけ出してくれる。
Even if I'm by myself and far away, He can always come find me.
知ってることは全部教えてくれる。
He comes to teach me everything He knows. 
私がおぼえたなくても、
Even if I should no longer remember,
何度でも教えてくれる。
He will teach me over and over.

でも　全部わかってしまったらどうすればいいの?
But what should I do once I know everything?

I featured this version of Kipi’s cosplay of Amane Misa back in 2007, but I think it’s worth having a second look, don’t you? Thanks to Justin for sending this in!

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine 04

Vincent Valentine blamed himself for Lucrecia’s illness after Sephiroth’s birth. In order to atone for this “sin”, he locked himself within a coffin in the basement of Shinra Mansion and slept, mostly undisturbed, for 30 years. He constantly relived his nightmare as punishment for being unable to stop Lucrecia from submitting to Hojo’s experiment on her unborn baby.

Another impressive cosplay of Vincent Valentine! It’s a little weird that a 50-60 year-old character looks like this, and I’ve always been curious as to how that might have happened. Well, one thing we can be sure of, sleeping is very good for us! Thanks to luaR for sharing this!

Starry Sky: Miyaji Ryunosuke (Scorpio)

The vice-captain of the archery club, Miyaji Ryunosuke is described to be tsundere which means he is initially cold and even hostile to anyone new who enters his life, but eventually warms up to them. He has kept an eye out for Tsukiko and considers her to be his rival. He initially disregarded Azusa as Ryunosuke solely relied on natural talent and did not believe in effort and passion.

Doesn’t Taiwanese cosplayer Shinonome Azusa (東雲梓) make a lovely Ryunosuke? Please go visit her websites: Blog, Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, and World Cosplay! Thanks to Minette for sending this in!

Tower of Saviors: Felix the Cat Duke

Tower of Saviors is a mobile game that uses a combination of match 3 and RPG game play developed by a Hong Kong-based developer known as Mad Head Limited. In the US, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia iOS markets, the game is published as War of Dragons by mobile game firm, Storm8.

A bunch of game information is available for Felix the Cat Duke’s card on the ToS wiki… none of which really makes sense to me since I haven’t played the game yet, but if you want to see this cute video of Stay playing with her cat paw, head on over to her Facebook Page. It’s the most adorable thing I’ve seen all week, and we need more fluffy things in this world. Give her your support, and a like or two, won’t you?

Naruto: Hatake Kakashi 05

Hatake Kakashi was not always as carefree as most people know him to be. He used to be very stern and serious, but after the supposed death of teammate, Uchiha Obito, he came to adapt his friend’s cheerful personality. Kakashi even become regularly late for his appointments and would come up with grand excuses, the same way Obito did. However, most of the time that he’s late is because Kakashi frequently visited the memorial stone where Obito’s name is engraved in, and he loses track of time when doing so.

Has anyone seen Naruto Stage yet? I wonder how it is? The cast looks absolutely amazing, so I bet the show’s pretty good too! I really think Kimisawa Yuki’s version of Kakashi is spot on, don’t you?

Do you guys have any favorites from the list of cast members?

Shingeki no Kyojin: Sasha Blouse and Connie Springer

As part of the 104th Trainees Squad, Sasha Blouse and Connie Springer were required to practice hand-to-hand combat as part of their training. Many of the trainees did not see the point in learning martial arts when they were supposed to be fighting against titans, not humans. It would appear that Sasha and Connie felt the same way, as they were seen goofing around instead of sparring seriously.

Aren’t they adorable? I distinctly remember this scene from the anime… I really loved how these two characters could still find ways to take it easy, despite the ever-looming fear of titans devouring them. Please visit the cosplayers’ Deviant Art accounts: Junez-chan as Sasha and AmayaRen as Connie! Thanks to J Nonymous for sharing this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Germany 02

A serious and efficient individual, Germany is a perfectionist who always abides by the rules. He is a pessimist and a neat freak, who loves making sweets, reading, and walking his dogs. His patience is often tested by his unreasonable boss and the trouble-making Italy.

It’s not very often that we see a male cosplayer from this series, so I thought I had to feature this too. Thanks to Daily Hetalia for sharing this!

The Seven Deadly Sins Cast

Not really sure what this is about, but I’ve been seeing a lot of fan art and cosplays of these ladies recently. As far as I can tell, they are Demon Kings based on the Seven Deadly Sins, so let me just enumerate them for now:

• Satan (cosplayed by Youne) is the Demon King of Wrath
• Leviathan (cosplayed by Sameki) is the Demon King of Envy
• Mammon (cosplayed by Arisa Chan) is the Demon King of Greed
• Lucifer (cosplayed by Shimo) is the Demon King of Pride
• Beelzebub (cosplayed by Neneko) is the Demon King of Gluttony
• Asmodeus (cosplayed by Hisui) is the Demon King of Lust
• Belphegor (cosplayed by Yukino) is the Demon King of Sloth

Well, whatever this is, please head on over to each of these Taiwanese cosplayers’ pages (linked above) and give them your support! Thanks to Sam for sending this in!

…shouldn’t they be Demon “Queens” instead of Kings? Hm…

Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online: Kirito 02

Like all new players, Kirito had minimal funds when he entered Gun Gale Online. He knew he had to get a lot of money in the game fast if he wanted to enter the 3rd Bullet of Bullets event and find the Death Gun. He managed to come across a bullet dodging game when Sinon was giving him a tour, and used his previous experience with NPC targeting to win the game. Most of his winnings were used up in buying a laser sword, the Kagemitsu G4, a weapon he is most comfortable with despite have to go against other players equipped with guns.

I really hope I get to cosplay this character some day. Maybe when all the hype is gone so that I can gather enough courage to do so, haha! Thanks to Lorry for sending this in!

“China Dress”
Lyrics from AtWiki
Translation by Kurohiko

Hatsune Miku looks adorable in a Chinese Dress, so I thought this song would be appropriate. Unfortunately, my Japanese is not very good, but I hope it’s more or less a good translation of this cute song! Thanks to Mikachu for sending this in!
