D. Gray-man: Lavi 05

Source: Crunchyroll

Lavi’s anti-akuma weapon, simply known as Tettsui, literally means the “Iron Hammer”. Its full name is the Ozuchi Kozuchi, “Big Hammer, Little Hammer”, appropriately named as it is capable of growing and extending to undefined sizes and lengths. Although this affects its weight, this does not affect Lavi himself, allowing him to use Tettsui even if it’s in its full size with seemingly effortless ease. The weapon also allows him to use “seals” that control several elements of nature.

The cosplayer looks rather handsome, but I do my best not to say that just in case the cosplayer’s actually a girl. Thanks again to Daniela for sending this in!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Soryu Asuka Langley 08

Source: Crunchyroll

In “The End of Evangelion”, the Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force invaded NERV, forcing the team to place the mentally disturbed Asuka inside Unit-02, which was then submerged in a lake within the Geofront for her protection. As she was bombarded by depth charges, Asuka declared that she did not want to die and, in a moment of clarity, realized that her mother's soul was within the Eva and has been protecting her all along. With her self-identity regained, she emerged from the lake and defeated the JSSDF before being confronted by the Mass Produced Evas.

Cute cosplay of the aggressive Eva pilot! This is a rather interesting costume for Asuka, I wonder if there’s a figure of this somewhere? Thanks again to Daniela for sending this in!

Final Fantasy X-2: Paine 03

Source: Crunchyroll

While most of the Crimson Squad candidates had died during the group’s final field exercise, Nooj, Baralai, Gippal and Paine had somehow managed to escape from the Yevon monks. Unbeknownst to them, it was actually because of the undead Shuyin, who gave a glimpse of Vegnagun, that cause the Crimson Squad turned on one another. Unfortunately, Nooj was later possessed by Shuyin and fired on his friends, effectively ending their friendship for two years.

Just before Yuna joined the group, Paine enlisted in the Gullwings in the hopes of finding answers regarding the Crimson Squad’s massacre. That, and because she had long desired to fly in an airship.

That is some epic looking details! And you gotta love the attitude the cosplayer is projecting. Thanks again to Miguel for sending this in!

Gundam Wing: Zechs Merquise aka Milliardo Peacecraft

Source: Crunchyroll

OZ’s ace mobile suit pilot, Zechs Merquis is well known as the “Lightning Count” or “Lightning Baron” due to his high-speed fighting style, striking his enemies without warning. He wears a mask supposedly to hide a facial deformity, but in reality, it is to hide his true identity, Milliardo Peacecraft, the lost son of the pacifist Peacecraft family. The Peacecrafts were massacred by the United Earth Sphere Alliance, who considered King Peacecraft a threat to their complete and toral rule of Earth and the colonies. Zechs worked his way through the inside to become an OZ soldier in order to seek revenge on the Alliance for the murder of his family.

Wow, this series is definitely one of the classics, and I’m happy to see a detailed cosplay of one of my favorite characters. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Final Fantasy IX: Vivi Ornitier

Source: Delta Attack

In the beginning of Final Fantasy IX, Vivi was a shy and gullible Black Mage, often stumbling over his speech and lacking self-confidence. He was afraid to use his magic even to save his friends because he believed he was incapable to do so. As time went on, his personality grew and he became much braver in the face of danger. Despite his new-found confidence, however, Vivi still questioned his existence throughout the game.

This is so cute! I’m wondering if this is a little kid cosplaying Vivi or an adult who is kneeling down. I’ve seen a lot of really good cosplays of smaller characters that were done that way. Thanks to Miriam for sending this in!
