Fate/Extra: Saber 03

In Fate/Extra, Saber’s true identity is Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the Fifth Roman Emperor. She was a notorious tyrant who oppressed all religious forces, especially Christians, and the Roman Senate during 50 to 60 AD. Her rule was so devastating and destructive that some have theorized that the Book of Revelation was written as a reaction against said oppression.

And here I thought all the Sabers were inspired from King Arthur. I’m never going to look at this red Saber the same way again. Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 32

愛した者を裁く　右手の鎌、唄を謡う
A scythe in my right hand that judges my beloved sings a song
涙を浮かべながら、その刹那　
With tears in my eyes
鎌が音を立てて・・・
At the moment, a sickle makes a sound…

静かな唄の華が　咲いて　咲いて　沼に沈む
A flower of a quiet song blooms, blooms and sinks into the swamp
光の射さぬ所、貴様は何を思う
Why in the world do you think where the sun doesn't rise

“Guard and Scythe” Lyrics and Translation by
Vocalochu

I'm beginning to wonder if people are getting tired of my Vocaloid features on Cosplay Holic. I can’t help it! Hatsune Miku is just really popular so a lot of cosplayers portray her in many different ways! But anyway, thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~: Okita Souji 03

Driven by guilty for being incapacitated by tuberculosis, Okita Souji drank the elixir and became a Rasetsu in order to continue with his duties as the Captain of the First Division. Unfortunately, despite having accelerated healing, it does not completely cure his illness. It does, however, allow him to live out his final days somewhat normally, even if it would seem to be arguably shorter.

I’m sorry, but after I finished Souji’s route in the game, I felt really terrible. Then again, I don’t think any of the routes in Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~ ended happily knowing some of your comrades died in the war. Anyway, thanks to Jenny for sending this in!

Kiki’s Delivery Service: Kiki and Jiji

As it is traditional for witches, Kiki left home when she turned 13 together with her loquacious black cat, Jiji. She arrived is the big city of Koriko and, despite her insecurity, managed to to find friends and a place to stay. In order to support herself, she uses the only witch skill she has, flying on a broom, and starts a delivery service.

I believe that’s Akira Itsuki on the left in the same cosplay I featured her in two weeks ago, but I’m not sure who that girl on the right side of the photo is. Please let me know so I can add a tag for her cosplay too! Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know the girl on the right isSherlock Shellingford from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes!

Silent Destiny Onusa: Popi

In a land far from our own reality, Serapi has disaster lurking in its shadows and according to legend, only the Silencer can stop it.

Meet Popi, our ever-lovable a 13th grader who was transported from another dimension in order to become Serapi’s Silencer. Could he really become the savior of this realm (or get caught up with something else entirely)?

Guess we’ll all have to wait for the next issue to come out to answer that question. I hope the cosplayer like this photo I took of him!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Kaname Madoka 05

Upon witnessing the suffering of magical girls throughout history, Kaname Madoka forms her contract to prevent the girls from becoming witches when they are at their limits. As a result, the laws of the universe are rewritten, and at the moment a soul gem becomes black with anguish, Madoka appears and purifies it before the magical girl passes on. Madoka’s wish turns her into an omniscient savior that exists for all time, leaving only Akemi Homura with the memory of her human existence.

I’m not entirely sure that she’s cosplaying Madoka, but it does look very similar to this feature from a year ago. Thanks again to Tans for sending this in!

Unknown Entry 132

And what is a surge of Comiket features without a healthy dose of unknown cosplays?

This little kitty reminds me of Felicia from Darkstalkers. Of course, this cosplay is probably a completely different character, because the color is just not right.

Then again, I haven’t played Darkstalkers in a long while, so it could just be a different color scheme for Felicia? Or maybe it’s a Pokemon gijinka?

If anyone has a better idea, please do let me know! Thanks to Adriana for sending this in!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 09

Yuki is a “humanoid interface”, or artificial human, created by a god-like alien figure known as the Data Overmind. According to her, the Data Overmind has existed since the Big Bang, and it has been frustrated over the slow pace of evolution. However, three years ago, it had noticed an explosion of data, which was later traced none other than Suzumiya Haruhi. It then created humanoid interfaces like Yuki, strategically placed near Haruhi in hopes of gaining insights by observing the phenomenon.

Cute cosplayer from Japan Comiket 82! She really looks a lot like Yuki especially with this pose. Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!
