Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter and Kaito

真っ暗で明かりもない
On this pitch-black and unlit road in my path
崩れかけたこの道で
It starts to crumble right before my eyes
あるはずもないあの時の希望が見えた気がした
I felt like I should see the shining light of hope from back then,
But it cant exist anymore

どうして
Tell me why

“Black★Rock Shooter”
Lyrics by Vocalochu

Another beautiful cosplay by King x Mon! Black Rock Shooter is really popular even though I heard the movie was not all that good. But the song is very catchy though and the character designs are exquisite! Thanks again to Colleen for sending this in!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 12

ブラックロックシューター　懐かしい記憶
Black Rock Shooter, nostalgic memories
ただ楽しかったあの頃を
of times that were simply enjoyable
ブラックロックシューター　でも動けないよ
Black Rock Shooter, but I still can't move at all
闇を駆ける星に願いを
I wish upon a star to help me escape
もう一度だけ走るから
Just one more chance to run from this darkness

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 11

あとどれだけ叫べばいいのだろう
How much more should I shout and raise my voice so you hear me?
あとどれだけ泣けばいいのだろう
How much more should I cry and scream out loud so you hear me?
もうやめて　わたしはもう走れない　いつか夢見た世界が閉じる
Stop it already, I can’t run
真っ暗で明かりもない　崩れかけたこの道で
from this nonsense anymore
あるはずもないあの時の希望が見えた気がした
The world that I once dreamed about to close up

Beautiful cosplayer from Japan’s Comiket 82! I like how the cosplayer actually has one of her twintails shorter than the other. Thanks to @t_minatsuki for sharing this!

Devil May Cry / Black★Rock Shooter: Dante and Black Rock Shooter

Now here’s an epic crossover you don’t get to see everyday.

Cosplay couple Dante from Devil May Cry and Black Rock Shooter were spotted last Otakuthon 2012 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal - Montreal Convention Center (I say couple because of this other photo but correct me if I’m wrong).

A friend of mine, Satty, was one of the attendees at the convention, and he took a ton of photos. You might want to check out his Otakuthon album if you were one of the cosplayers at the con.

It looked like a pretty big convention. I wish I was there too.

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 09

In the manga adaptation, "Black★Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~", Black Rock Shooter is tasked with the duty of maintaining peace within the Threshold - a world between Heaven and Earth. One of the major differences between the manga and anime is the character’s signature jacket, which was replaced by a poncho in the manga. Her ★rock Cannon and Black Blade have also merged in the manga, in the form of a shape-shifting belt.

Not too sure what I think about the manga yet, but I do think this is another awesome cosplay by Ani-Mia! I couldn’t decide between the two photos, so I decided to feature both of them instead. Thanks again to the cosplayer for sharing these with us! And please do visit her Facebook Page for more of her cosplays!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 08

In Black Rock Shooter The Game, Black Rock Shooter is one of the last residents on dead Earth. She joined the last stand of the remaining forces of Earth to fight against beings called “The Seven Apostles”. Black Rock Shooter is said to be the ultimate weapon, and Earth’s only hope from utter destruction.

Cute cosplay! She kind of looks like Kipi, but I’m not sure. Can anyone verify this? Thanks to Haku for sending this in!

EDIT: Ok guys, you win! I hang my head in shame for not being 100% (if not 200%) sure this is Kipi!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 07

A calm and collected girl, Black Rock Shooter keeps to herself and only spoke once in the OVA confronting her “other self” Kuroi Mato. She does not focus on anything else aside from the most important thing that she has to do at this very moment she’s doing it. Black Rock Shooter is a highly skilled fighter, despite her seeming defeat by Black Gold Saw, she easily manages to fight evenly with Dead Master even though she’s appears as if she’s trying not to hurt her.

Beautiful Black Rock Shooter cosplay by Saya! I love how her scar looks so real and her long hair! Thanks to Pamela for sending this!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master 02

Black Rock Shooter is the main character for the “Other World” while Dead Master is the antagonist. Although not much is revealed about these two characters in the OVA, Dead Master is said to be Takanashi Yomi’s dark persona. When Yomi mysteriously disappeared, Kuroi Mato receives a text message and finds the phone charm she gave Yomi, leading her to the Other World. Mato then meets Black Rock Shooter and merged with her in order to save Yomi from Dead Master.

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter, Dead Master, and Black Gold Saw

I thought the previous posts of Black Gold Saw, Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master looked similar. In a good way, because apparently, the three cosplayers were shooting in the same studio! Absolutely breath-taking work!

If only we knew who the cosplayers were. Thanks to Fillet’s Minion for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Anon for letting me know Black Rock Shooter's cosplayer is Tasha from Cure!

EDIT2: Thanks to Fang Shinobi for adding the other cosplayers' names as Tomia and Eki!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master

The primary protagonist and antagonist of the OVA series, Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master were presumed to be sisters in the early stages of the animation project. As Black Rock Shooter prefers her Black Sword, Dead Master’s weapon of choice is a large scythe with an unusually shaped blade with vertebra like detail on its handle.

Dead Master shares similar characteristics with Takanashi Yomi, a first year middle school student and friend of Kuroi Mato, who also shares similarities with Black Rock Shooter.

Awesome cosplay! I love everything about this photo, although Dead Master’s horn and scythe are a little too smooth. Thanks again to Jessica for sending this in!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Gold Saw

Quite possibly an enemy of Kuroi Mato, Black Gold Saw has a similar outfit to Black Rock Shooter, except for the design of her jacket and her bikini top. She has a pair of black curved horns that change to red as it reaches the tip. Her weapon of choice is a large, black sword with a long handle and a curved hilt shaped like a crescent.

Beautiful Gold Saw! I actually thought she was an evil version of Black Rock Shooter, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks to Jessica for sending this in!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 03

A character that was labeled as a black clad Hatsune Miku, Black Rock Shooter became her own entity on September 20, 2009. Crypton, the company that created Miku, announced that Black Rock Shooter has no relation with the Vocaloid character.

Black Rock Shooter is 15-years-old and is well known for her massive projectile weapons. The Black Canon can shoot up to 20 rocks per second, but she is also seen with a sword known as the Black Blade.

I think that’s a rather unique interpretation of the blue flame erupting from her eye. As the contributor Fernandez said, “this cosplay’s sizzling hot”!

Vocaloid: Kaito 03

Burakku Rokku Shuutaa hitori ja nai yo
Black Rock Shooter, you’re not alone

Koe o agete naitatte kamawanai
I don’t mind even if you cry with a loud voice

Burakku Rokku Shuutaa mite ite kureru
Black Rock Shooter, you’ll be watching me

Ima kara hajimaru no watashi no monogatari
My story will start from now

Wasuresou ni nattara kono uta o
When you seem to be forgetting it, I’ll sing

Utau no
This song

Although I would say this is the male version of Black Rock Shooter, cosplayer Kaname tagged this photo in his gallery as Kaito. Maybe Kaito has a version of the song Black Rock Shooter? In any case, there’s no use arguing with the cosplayer… Awesome work as usual, Kaname!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 02

With the popularity of Black Rock Shooter rising, Japanese Anime director Yamamoto Yutaka is said to take on the project of directing the series Black Rock Shooter, set to be released early spring of 2010.

It's amazing how a fan-made anime music video gained so much popularity that it's become an anime series. I'm very excited to see what Huke will come up with.

Hopefully, the fans of Black Rock Shooter will like this cosplay and let it tide them over til we see the anime. Nice work!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter

As Hatsune Miku takes away the aspiring composers by storm, a new character known as Black Rock Shooter emerges.

She looks like the black version of Hatsune Miku, but she’s actually an original creation by Huke who worked with the composer of Black Rock Shooter, Ryo. Because of the song’s popularity, someone went ahead and cosplayed her and was photographed by Jack Hanger.

Pretty cool cosplay! I bet a lot of girls would be trying to cosplay as BRS pretty soon! Thanks for sharing this Jack!
