Gundam Seed Destiny: Stella Loussier
Stella Loussier is one of the 3 experiments of the Naturals, labeled as an “Extended Human”, someone who is born naturally, but could fight in the same efficiency as a Coordinator. Extended Humans do not have their DNA altered like Coordinators; rather, they use other means such as drugs to enhance their fighting ability.
Stella, or “Stellar” in some markets, is a gifted Gundam Pilot who suffers from a personality disorder. She is generally sweet and child-like when she is surrounded by people who are most important to her. But when she is in danger, or hears the word “death”, she becomes a totally different person, a ruthless killer who kills and destroys everything in her way.
Such a cute Stella! Oh, I cropped the original image from Photobucket. You can view the original by clicking the image.

Trinity Blood: Father Tres Iqus
The mechanical soldier created by Vatican Scientist, Professor Gepetto Garibaldi, Father Tres Iqus is one of ten “Killing Dolls” to be used for an attempted rebellion. He was spared from destruction and recruited by Cardinal Caterina Sfroza for AX, the Minister of Holy Affairs’ Special Operations Group.
Father Tres is part mechanical and part organic, and he maintains his body by taking vitamins. You can tell straight off that he’s a cyborg, because he always answers questions with either “negative” or “positive”, though there are times when he shows some emotions and even a sense of humor.
Lovely cosplay! Especially the guns..! I’m not sure if Father Tres wears sunglasses though… Hm…

Final Fantasy X: Yuna 06
Nomura Tetsuya designed Yuna with hibiscus flowers as her name depicts. Her name also means “night” so her weapons are empowered by the moon. Yuna also has heterochromia, which explains her different colored eyes; her blue eye comes from her half-Spiran bloodline and her green eye comes from her half-Al Bhed bloodline.
Beautiful cosplay! Good location too. I wonder if she had a hard time keeping her hair fixed? Thanks for sharing this!

Full Metal Alchemist: Alex Louis Armstrong
I am actually very impressed with the accuracy of this cosplay… It’s so accurate that it’s scary really…
Alex Louis Armstrong, the strong arm alchemist who is only fully clothed about 3 minutes at a time because he loves showing off his “beautiful body”. Don’t let his looks fool you though… He is quite a gentle man who was nearly prevented from being promoted due to his sentimentalism.
Not something you would expect to see from a grown man right? I suppose that’s the role of a comic relief for you…
Wonderful, impressive cosplay! Makes most people’s jaw drop at the similarities, I’m sure…
Originally from Photobucket.

Naruto: Hatake Kakashi
Naruto’s sensei or “teacher” Kakashi is a genius shinobi who has never revealed his face, nor his true personality. He no longer has any close family or relatives and is often times thought to be arrogant and emotionless… Which is quite the opposite, really.
He acquired his Sharigan eye from his dying friend, Uchiha Obito. The two had an arguement with regards as to whether they should prioritze their mission or rescuing Rin. Unfortunately, after the two had made up, Kakashi lost his left eye to protect Obita, and Obita perished saving Kakashi’s life when rocks nearly crushed him. It was during this time that Rin performed her duties as a medical ninja, and transferred Obita’s eye to replace Kakashi’s damaged one as a final gift.
I would just like to say… I wonder how much hair cement this cosplayer used to get the hair that way?

Tenjou Tenge: Natsume Maya 03
The third challenger of the Natsume Maya cosplay! I believe she wins hands down… But I’m not really one to judge, since I have no idea whether or not Maya actually appeared in an outfit such as this…
Makes me think of Kill Bill or Charlie’s Angels for some reason…
Anyway, you guys be the judge who looks most like Maya. This is where you’ll find the first cosplayer and here is where you’ll find the second.

Final Fantasy X: Rikku
Technically, this is the 5th Rikku I’m posting on this blog. But I didn’t label the post that way because she is the first Rikku I found who cosplayed the X version rather than the more popular X-2 versions.
Rikku is perky and optimistic. She has a close friendship with Tidus, as they are quite similar in their personalities. Since she is an Al Bhed, she suffered discrimination from the Yevonites, but this didn’t change her positive outlook in life. She did whatever she could do to save Yuna from giving her life with the Final Summoning.
I think I like this costume of Rikku’s more than the X-2 ones… I’m not entirely sure why that it. But I think a lot of people will disagree with me on this.

Yami no Matsuei: Kazutaka Muraki
Yami no Matsuei or the Descendants of Darkness’ main antagonist, Kazutaka Muraki is a brilliant doctor who laments over losing the lives of his patients… as a cover to the fact that he’s actually a psychotic serial killer who plays with spirits, curses, and the dead.
Do you realize now why I’m so fascinated with him?
And what a brilliant photo this is! With the roses, it looks like he is meeting with Tsuzuki, his “prey”. I love the hair and his trench coat too! Fantastic cosplay!

Bleach: Kira Izuru
The lieutenant of the 3rd Division in Soul Society and loyal friend of Hinamori Momo and Abarai Renji, Kira Izuru is a model soldier who often places his duties above his personal feelings. Due to the betrayal of his Captain, Ichimaru Gin, to Soul Society resulting in Kira’s battle against Hinamori, Kira came to doubt his principles and became more pessimistic.
An impressive cosplay of Kira. I like the way his kimono was made, thought his hair is a little messy. Great job!

Magic Knight Rayearth: Ryuuzaki Umi
The Magic Knight of Water, Ryuuzaki Umi is an only child who is quick-tempered and reluctant on fulfilling her role as one of the three Magic Knights of Cephiro.
During her journey to becoming a Magic Knight, she often wished to return home because of a fencing tournament she is participating in. It is this desire that prevented her from becoming a true Magic Knight, but she overcomes it eventually and revives her rune god before Hikaru or Fuu.
Beautiful cosplay! I believe she’s using her natural hair or some hair extensions, but I like this cosplay a lot even without the blue hair. Great work!

Shugo Chara!: Tsukiyomi Ikuto
A teenage boy who is being used by Easter to find the Embryo, Ikuto is a talented violinist who likes to tease people, notable Amu and Tadase. He is the owner of the Dumpty Key, which use to belong to his father. His mother married another man when they found his violin in another country, making her believe he would not come back. She then bound her children to work for Easter, but Ikuto wishes to find the Embryo to grant his own wish.
I like the crosses on the costume and the purple contact lenses. A very captivating cosplay, don’t you think? Nice work!

Yu Yu Hakusho: Koenma
King Enma Jr., who is more commonly referred to as Koenma, is the son of the ruler of Heaven. He is at least 700 years old, and carries a pacifier that gathers his pure Reiki or spirit energy. When released, the energy acts as a powerful seal to contain dangerous demons.
Although he has an adult form, Koenma commented that he prefers to move around in his baby form. Maybe it’s because of his weapon? I mean, he’s be laughed at for having a pacifier at this age, right? Not that it makes him any less cute.
Anyway, impressive cosplay. I really miss watching this series too. Great work!

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Magician’s Valkyria and Kaiba Seto
Now this is an interesting pair.
People who are familiar with the anime and manga Yu-Gi-Oh! will know that Kaiba’s rival, Yugi, is the one who uses Magician and Spellcaster based cards.
So what’s the Magician’s Valkyria doing with Kaiba Seto in this photo?
I first thought the cosplayer on the left is Dark Magician Girl, but her staff is different, and so is her skirt. Good thing a friend of mine got to correct me before I actually posted this.
Anyway, awesome cosplay! This image is cropped and you can view the original here.

Bleach: Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck 04
I don’t even know what to say to this anymore, because I think I might be dying of cute.
But I would like to know what her real name is. From my three previous features, I’ve always thought her name was Neliel Tu Oderschvank. I checked wikipedia recently and it had Odelschwanck instead. What gives?
Either way, Nel is just the cutest thing ever. I’m not sure, but she might be the same kid?

Touhou Project: Onozuka Komachi
A shinigami who doesn’t seem to take her job seriously, Komachi is often scolded by her boss, Sikeiki Yamaxanadu for her poor performance. She is the counterpart of Greek Mythology’s Charon, Hades’ ferryman, as she guides the souls of the newly deceased across the Sanzu River. Her attacks come in the form of holed coins, as these seem to be the payment the souls need to move on from the world of the living to the world of the dead.
She’s a little too adorable to be working as a ferryman- or ferrywoman, if she prefers that title. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t take her job very seriously? Cute cosplay though!

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia: Caren Ortensia
A member of the Church and Burial Agency, Caren is a kind-hearted priestess who believes her only purpose in life is to help others. When she is hurt, she does not blame the individual who hurt her, but places the blame on demons. When she is at fault, she apologizes to God and not to the person she was wronged.
Strangely enough, despite her projected kindness, she loves exploiting other people’s weaknesses, antagonizing them to the point of humiliating them. She also deliberately wears her priestess robes without the skirt to seduce men.
That is one scary priestess. And yes, I know she’s suppose to have white hair, but that has never stopped me from featuring cosplayers like her. Awesome job!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 03
During the 4th Holy Grail war, Emiya Kiritsugu forced Saber into destroying the Holy Grail by using a Reiju, also known as a Command Seal. Saber would not obey him because she wanted the chance to redo her life so that worthier person could rule her country in her stead.
It was only when Shiro, Kiritsugu’s foster son, became her master that she was able to accept her life for what it was rather than wishing to change it.
I think the hair may have been photoshoped a bit from the looks of it, but I still think this is a rather beautiful cosplay of Saber. Not everyone can manage to pull her off, after all. Thank you so much for emailing this, Shiro-kun!

Yozakura Quartet: Yarizakura Hime
A 16-year-old girl with supernatural powers, Yarizakura Hime became the mayor of her city when she was just a small child. Hime is said to be the human form of an ancient dragon. However, she asked Shinatsuhiko Yae to place a seal on her so that she can have a better perspective from a human’s point of view as well as a youkai’s. Although her grandmother was “tuned” by Akina’s grandfather, she treasures the long scarf made by Akina which covers the remnants of the seal on her neck.
Cute cosplay! I’ve never really heard of this series, but I really love the color of her eyes and hair! Thanks to Megan for sending this in!

Bleach: Kuchiki Rukia 05
When Rukia was forced to give her Soul Reaper abilities to Ichigo in order to save his family, she was left too weak to return to Soul Society. As such, she remained in the human world under Ichigo’s care until Byakuya and Renji were sent to find her. Unfortunately, Rukia was sentenced to death because of her actions and it’s up to Ichigo to save her.
Happy Halloween, everyone! I thought it would be appropriate to feature a shinigami for the occasion! I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!

Ranma 1/2: Shampoo 02
When Shampoo first met Saotome Ranma, she gave him the “Kiss of Death” for defeating her in her village’s annual martial arts contest. However, when she was defeated by Ranma again in his male form, she gave him the “Kiss of Marriage.” She eventually learned about Ranma’s curse and decided to focus on marrying him instead of killing him.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Genesis Rhapsodos
A 1st-class SOLDIER who rebelled against Shinra, Genesis Rhapsodos went AWOL hoping to find a cure for his illness, degradation. He is an end result of Project G, an experiment involving a woman named Gillian was injected with Jenova cells before her cells were harvested and injected into Genesis when he was still a fetus. Genesis is considered a traitor to Shinra, but he is a close friend of Angeal Hewly’s as well as Sephiroth’s.
Although the contrast is pretty high on this photo, I liked the sinister effect that it gives to the cosplayer. Thanks again to Julia for sending this in!

Fushigi Yuugi: Nuriko
First appearing to be “Korin” from Hotohori’s harem, Nuriko is one of the seven Suzaku warriors and he is, in fact, a man. Korin was the name of his younger sister who died at a young age, and Nuriko began dressing like her to keep her memory alive. He later comes to terms with the fact that his cross-dressing resulted from the unyielding pain of the loss of his sister, and that he had been trying to live his life the way Korin would have, not as he would have.
I think this may be Saya, but I’m not completely sure. Can anyone verify this for me? Thanks to Sammy for sending this in!

Naruto: Haku 03
After wandering from place to place for a time, Haku was found by Zabuza who recognized his talents and agreed to take him in as a tool. As a result, Haku becomes unquestioningly protective and loyal to Zabuza, as he found a purpose in life by being useful to his master. He ultimately gives his life in his mission, becoming a human shield to protect Zabuza from Hatake Kakashi’s Lightning Blade.
Beautiful cosplay! I’ve always sympathized with Haku’s storyline for some reason or other… Maybe every one of us are seeking for that purpose in our life? Thanks to Jeni for sending this!

Guilty Gear X: Dizzy 02
After escaping from her abusive captors, Dizzy came under the protection of Testament, a Gear who had served under the Command Gear Justice. Testament fought off most of the bounty hunters who were after Dizzy, and if any managed to overcome him, they were quickly beaten back by the immense power of Dizzy herself. She was eventually defeated by the bounty hunter known as Sol Badguy, but he decided to spare her life, and the bounty fell to Kuradoberi Jam instead.
Cool cosplay! I like the blue hues, which I’m guessing were possibly added later on. Thanks again to Jeni for sending this in!
