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!

Mononoke: Kusuriuri 02

A wandering Medicine Seller, the Kusuriuri uses an enchanted sword to slay the “mononoke”, a type of ayakashi or unnatural spirits that linger in the human world. In order to successfully perform the exorcism, the Medicine Seller must find the Katachi (shape), Mokoto (truth), and the Kotowari (reasoning) of the mononoke. Once the sword is unsheathed, he transforms into a demon-like creature.

I’m guessing this is what the Medicine Seller looks like right before his transformation. Another impressive cosplay by Federkiel of Deviant Art! Thanks to *Des-Henkers-Braut, her photographer and Syaza for sending this in!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES: Metis

Episode Aegis, which is also known as The Answer in English version, is an epilogue only available in one difficulty setting. While in the Answer cancels Aigis’ Orgia Mode, Metis serves as her replacement; from being able to use a wide range of physical skills to gaining access to a “Neo” Orgia Mode. She is also able to use bludgeon-class weapons similar to that of the deceased Aragaki Shinjiro.

Metis is symbolized with a wreath of red butterflies, and is fiercely protective of her “sister”, Aigis.

Impressive armor detail on this cosplay! I wonder what she used to make her armor? Thanks to Syaza for this contribution!

HeartCatch PreCure!: Cure Marine

People would think that after all these years of writing for this cosplay blog that I would know a lot about different characters from anime, manga and games.

Well, you’d be wrong, because I get surprises like this in my inbox quite often!

To be completely honest, the first character that came to mind when I saw this was Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon… a stylized version of her anyway! But I’m pretty sure this is not the case.

You guys know the drill, comment and discuss who she could be in the comments, but I hope you guys can leave your name next time so that I can credit you properly if you guess right! So many anonymous comments… I wonder if it’s because they don’t want people to know that they’re reading Cosplay Holic? In any case, thanks to Paton Saint for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to St. Arcana among many others for letting me know this is Cure Marine from HeartCatch PreCure!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Naruhodo Minuki

Daughter of Arumajiki Zakku and Yumi (Zak and Thalassa Gramarye), Minuki (Trucy Wright) possesses the power of perception like her mother and grandfather, Arumajiki Tensai (Magnifi Gramarye). In Zakku's disappearance, Ryuichi (Phoenix) decided to adopt Minuki as his own daughter which she accepted without hesitation. She adores magic and her favorite trick is Mr. Hat, a puppet that pops out from behind her and wears her hat. She and Odoroki Hosuke (Apollo Justice) are half siblings, though neither are aware of this fact.

This is a pretty cool cosplay of Minuki with a Mr. Hat to boot! I’m not even sure how she managed to carry that puppet beside her… Thanks again to Ophelia for sending this in!

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Roxas

In the prequel Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas is a member of Organization XIII. He does not have memories of his previous life, but easily makes friends with Axel, the one in charge of watching over him. He also befriended Xion before falling into a month-long coma as a result of Naminé’s restoration of Sora's memory. It was only when Roxas awoke that he began to question the Organization’s motives.

I really love this cosplay and those awesome keyblades! I wonder if the cosplayer handmade them? Thanks to Beatrice for sending this in!

X/1999: Kishu Arashi

A fondling child raised by Shinto priests at Ise Shrine, Arashi’s mother, a priestess of the same shrine, abandoned her after learning of her child’s destiny. She is called the “Hidden Priestess of Ise” and became the Dragon of Heaven most immediately in touch with Princess Hinoto. She specializes in sword fighting and can summon a massive sword emerging from her left hand.

Beautiful cosplay by Riko of Cure! When I saw this in my inbox I was so stunned by her work! Great job, Riko! We hope to see more of your cosplays soon!

D. Gray-man: Lenalee Lee 03

Lenalee, who went insane when she was separated from her brother, Komui, fights for him and her friends, knowing she has a home to return to. Her perception of the “world” consists of her friends and family and whenever someone she cares for dies, she deems that a part of her world has also been destroyed.

Lenalee has known Kanda Yu since childhood, and often ran to him for comfort whenever her brother was busy. She met Allen Walker when he first arrived at the Order and became attached to him, hinting that she may have feelings for Allen.

Beautiful cosplay! Although some people may argue she has the wrong colored hair, I think that’s a minor setback. Thanks to Vicky for sending this in!

Gintama: Okita Sogo and Hijikata Toshiro

Vice-commander of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshiro has romantic feelings for Okita Sogo’s sister Mitsuba. Prior to joining the government, he rejected Mitsuba believing he will not be able to provide happiness for her. Sogo does not like Toshiro very much, and continually tries to wound, embarrass, or even kill Toshiro in order to take his rank as vice-commander. His annoyance towards Toshiro is mainly due to his popularity, as even the commander, Kondo Isao, thinks highly of his vice-commander.

Impressive cosplay! I wonder where Sogo was able to buy that gun? Or perhaps it was handmade? Thanks to Sensui for sending this in!
