Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4: Hanamura Yousuke, Seta Souji, and Shirogane Naoto

Just after Seta Souji’s arrival in Inaba, a TV announcer was found dead hanging among a television antenna. Later, the high school student who made the discovery, Konishi Saki, was also found dead in similar gruesome circumstances. Meanwhile, Souji and his friends accidentally enter TV world where they encounter Teddy and awaken their Persona abilities.

An impressive group of cosplayers! I really love their poses and attitude! Thanks again to Loki for sending this!

Bleach: Shattered Blade: Arturo Plateado

Over one thousand years before the current Bleach storyline, Arturo Plateado was a self-made and very powerful Arrancar who wanted to destroy the Shinigami. He is so old that only Yamamoto-Genryuusai Shigekuni and Shihoin Yoruichi recognize and know him. He was recorded to have single-handedly decimated almost half of the shinigami military forces in his initial attack.

Impressive! I didn’t know there were characters that were exclusive to the game. It makes me want to play this even more! Thanks again to Loki for sending this!

Blood+: Otonashi Saya 02

A skilled athlete in her own right, Otonashi Saya fights using a special katana with an edge she can touch with her thumb while gripping it so that she can draw blood. The grooves are specially designed to spread her blood through the entire length of its blade. Once it’s coated with her blood, it becomes a deadly weapon against Diva and any chiropteran created from Diva’s blood.

This cosplayer is a little scary too. I wonder if all Saya cosplayers are like this? Thanks again to Harrell for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Syaza for letting me know this is Lenneth XVII!

Guilty Gear X: Kuradoberi Jam 02

Kuradoberi Jam is a master chef who dreams of creating her own restaurant but lacks the means to do so. She appears to have terrible luck in this particular endeavor every time she gets this project going. Although she was a relatively unimportant character at the beginning of the series, her ability to wield Ki becomes a very notable aspect.

Awesome cosplay! It still amuses me how the cosplayers get their hair to do that. Thanks to Loki for sending this in!

Catherine: Catherine

A mysterious 22-year-old woman with a charming face and a “well-proportioned” body, Catherine has a “Gyaru” air about her which caught Vincent Brooks’ attention. Her carefree behavior began to disturb Vincent’s life as it was after meeting Catherine that Vincent began having nightmares.

Beautiful cosplay by renowned cosplayer, Omi Gibson! I have to admit though, this game is kinda creepy and I don’t think I want to play it. Thanks to Al for suggesting this!

Naruto: Might Guy and Rock Lee

Might Guy is the leader of Team Guy who dedicates most of his time to only one of his students, Rock Lee. Because of this, Lee has modeled himself in his master’s image, matching his green jumpsuit and haircut. Lee also adopted many of his mannerisms, including his “My Rules” philosophy.

I am completely speechless. When I compared this photo to the actual characters, I was just. Shocked. Thanks again to Jamie for sending this in!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty Anarchy 03

Panty’s usual outfit consists of a short, sleeveless, red dress with matching red shoes. Her angel outfit, however, seems to be inspired from ancient Greek clothing, especially her golden-winged, Hermes-like high heels. Although Panty has worn several outfits in the series, most of them allow her to slide her panties off with ease.

It suddenly makes me wonder if I can share this cosplay on Cosplay Holic without breaking any of Blogger’s rules. In any case, thanks again to Ange W. for sharing this!

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.

Beautiful cosplay! The cosplayer looks very captivating in this photo and purple hair really suits her! Thanks to Neil for sending this!

Rurouni Kenshin: Kamiya Kaoru and Himura Kenshin

After leaving his past as Hitokiri Battousai behind him, Himura Kenshin lived as a wanderer for 10 years before meeting a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru. He decides to help her in defeating a murderer claiming to be Battousai who uses the Kamiya style in fighting, destroying her family’s good name. Upon realizing the gentle Kenshin was the real Battousai, she offers him a place to stay in her dojo.

Such a beautiful cosplay from one of the best classic series out there! Thanks to Migz for sharing this!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 05

Saber was forced to destroy the Holy Grail during the fourth war as commanded by her master, Emiya Kiritsugu. However, she was not able to destroy the Grail completely, managing only to destroy its physical form. Kiritsugu needed to use his Reiju, a command seal, because Saber wished to use the Grail to redo her life so that a better person could take her place as king of her country.

Saber is technically the fourth character to reach 10 features in Cosplay Holic, seeing we have two darks, two lilys, and one red. And I know her hair’s a little off, but there’s something about this cosplay that makes it so in character. Thanks to Krystal for sending this!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Chrome Dokuro and Hibari Kyoya

When she was transferred into the future, Chrome’s physical condition became worse as her illusionary internal organs began failing one after the other. The adult Hibari Kyoya then instructed her to use the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs through her own illusions. This allowed Chrome to escape any immediate danger, and thus prolonging her life.

Cosplayers Schoki and Hibanator make an excellent Chrome and Kyoya! I love the setting and Kyoya’s fierce attitude! Thanks to Itsuchi, their photographer as well as Miranda for the suggestion!

Fate/Stay Night: Tosaka Rin

A model student and idol of Kamiya Shiro’s school, Tosaka Rin seemingly prefers to be alone than be in the company of other students. This is because she is secretly a magus, the successor to her family’s magecraft, and she was instructed by her father, Tokiomi, to prioritize sorcery over her own interests. Since then, she strived to earn the admiration of her peers to avoid drawing attention to her private life.

Saya makes quite a convincing Rin! I love the simple beauty of this cosplay. Thanks to Michi for sending this in!

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Big Boss

In 1964, Big Boss (who was still known by his real name, Jack, at the time), took part in the Virtuous Mission as a member of the CIA's FOX unit. His was to rescue defecting Soviet scientist, Nikolai Stephanovich Sokolov, but unfortunately failed due to the defection of The Boss. As a result, he was imprisoned by the U.S. Government while recuperating in intensive care.

Well, I just had to rewrite this to cover up my mistake, right? Thanks to Syaza for the contribution, as well as Anon and Lane Butler for correcting me!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Dino Chiavarone

The 22-year-old, tenth generation boss of the Chiavarone Family, Dino is a fighter and a leader with exceptional skills. His main weapons, created by Reborn’s chameleon Leon, are a whip and Enzo, a turtle which grows in size and rampages when soaked in water. Like Sawada Tsunayoshi, Dino did not want anything to do with the Mafia, but became a suitable Mafia boss after Reborn became his home tutor.

Impressive cosplay by Ross Monster of Live Journal! I really love the tattoos she made for this cosplay. Thanks to Katrina for the contribution!

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!

Naruto: Uchiha Itachi 02

Because of the violence of war Itachi experienced during his early childhood, he longed for peace and wished to achieve it at any cost. This was the reason why he became a double agent when his clan planned a coup d'état against Konohagakure. He was given orders to assassinate all of the Uchiha, but could not bring himself to kill his younger brother, Sasuke. He made himself out as a villain and joined the criminal organization, Akatsuki, continuing his work as an agent of Konoha.

Beautiful cosplay! I’ve always liked this character despite being the villain in Naruto. Thanks to Trida for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting the cosplayer is Jesuke!

Final Fantasy X: Tidus 02

The main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, Tidus is a rising Blitzball star player from Zanarkand. He was transported to the world of Spira after Sin attacked Zanarkand. There, he met the young summoner, Yuna who was set on a pilgrimage in an attempt to put an end to the very creature that attacked his homeland. Tidus joined Yuna and her guardians hoping that he would one day find his way home.

That water looks so calm that it’s almost… fake. I’m hoping that’s not salt water or it might ruin the costume! Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!
