Gintama: Takasugi Shinsuke

One of the main antagonists of the series, Shinsuke was a former comrade of Sakata Gintoki's and Katsura Kotaru's during the Amanto invasion. He gained a fearsome reputation for assassinating many of the Bakufu's main officers. He was also planning a large-scale coup d'état, but vanished after the war ended. Now, he leads Kiheitai, a radical Joi faction and is in the Shinsengumi's list of worst criminals.

Very convincing cosplay! Although the photo is a little dark, we can still see his signature colorful kimono. I love that creepy look he's giving the audience. Thanks to Vento for emailing this!

EDIT: Thanks to Nocturne for letting me know that the cosplayer is Lithium Flower from Deviant Art!

Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis 02

Sebastian's name is actually not his own. It is a name given to him by Ciel Phantomhive when they came upon an agreement; Sebastian is to help Ciel with his revenge and Ciel will give his soul to Sebastian as payment.

Later in the series, it is revealed that the name "Sebastian" actually the name Ciel gave to his pet dog. Historically, the name is similar to Father Sebastien Michaelis, who compiled a hierarchy of Demons in Hell.

I'm not sure why people would even consider selling their soul to the devil, but people make decisions to which they think at that time is the right one. Wonderful job on this cosplay!
