Sailor Stars: Sailor Galaxia, Princess Kakyuu, and the Sailor Starlights

Sailor Galaxia was once known as the legendary Sailor Senshi in the Milky Way galaxy. She sealed Chaos within her own body in order to save the cosmos. However, as Chaos continued to grow in strength, Sailor Galaxia knew such power could put the entire universe at risk, and thus expelled her star seed into the rural galaxy of the Milky Way.

Once overtaken by Chaos, Sailor Galaxia now sought to take all of the star seeds in the universe in order to control it for herself in the name of “Star Galaxia”. Princess Kakyuu of Kinmoku fled to Earth along with the Sailor Starlights in search of the Light of Hope, which was later revealed to be Chibi Chibi.

The story from the manga and anime about Chibi Chibi is completely different! It makes me wonder if they will continue to follow the manga in the new Sailor Moon Crystal, because if they do, then we will see Sailor Cosmos but lose Sailor Galaxia.

In any case, if you like this photo, please check out Princess Kakyuu’s cosplayer, Sakura Kyoka in World Cosplay! Thanks to Michiru for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len 10

「僕は勇者じゃありません。むしろ王が勇者だと思いまーす！」
"I am no hero. Rather, majesty, I believe you are the hero!"

世界平和を取り戻す為、
To restore peace to the world,
お国の平和を守る為、
To protect the peace of the land,
最前線に身を投じませ
I throw myself to the front line;
支持率アップは目に見えた！（オイコラ）
I can see my approval rating going up! (H-Hey!)
権益の為 お金の為に
Fighting for interests, for money,
戦う王様 何をみる
What does our ruler see?
近衛もひん死 絶滅寸前
On the brink of destruction, guards dying;
しんでしまうとはなさけない！
Death should not take theeeeeEEEEE!

世界平和を取り戻す為、
To restore peace to the world,
あなたの笑顔を守る為、
To protect your smile,
魔王軍関連情報を
We barely manage to scrape up
命からがらにかき集め
Info on the dark lord’s forces...
今日も今日とて鎮座している
So today, I just sit here in safety,
まことの勇者を待っている
As we await the true hero
他力本願ではありません
I’m not getting others to do my work;
わしらじゃやつらにゃかなわねえ：；
It’s just I’m no match for those guys... :;

Final Fantasy VIII: Rinoa Heartilly (Amano Yoshitaka Version)

Artist Amano Yoshitaka is known for designing many characters in the Final Fantasy series. His designs are unique as Amano’s art revolves around the medium of printmaking, wherein he carves wood and/or scores copper plates, runs ink, and transfers the ink to paper. In one of Amano’s illustrations entitled “Singing Wings”, he portrays Rinoa Heartilly with blonde hair, a yellow and orange colored attire, and feathered wings in her back.

I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing this version of Rinoa in the games, would you? And this Italian cosplayer, who is appropriately nicknamed Rinoa, makes a stunning cosplay version of Amano’s artwork! If you’d like to see more of her cosplays, please visit her Cosplay Profile and give her your support! Thanks to Hans for sending this in!

DC Comics: Batman 03

Meanwhile, in Japan, they decided to promote “Batman: Arkham Knight” with a commercial of a normal salary man literally becoming Batman.

Normally, I wouldn’t post a video like this, but the manager in the clip actually told the guy to “stop cosplaying” already. And the salary man replies that he’s not cosplaying, that he really is Batman! Haha! It was really amusing, even though I didn’t completely understand the whole clip!

Anyway, I hope you like today’s feature! Thanks to Chip for sharing this!

Yami no Matsuei: Kurosaki Hisoka 03

Coming from a tradition-oriented family, Kurosaki Hisoka was trained in traditional Japanese martial arts when he was still living as a human. His parents were afraid of his spiritual powers, and they considered him unfit to be the heir of the Kurosaki household. In truth, his parents were more fearful of the fact that his powers could unfurl the familiar secret, so they locked him up in the cellar whenever they caught him using his empathy.

I feel really bad for Hisoka… But I always thought he looked much prettier than Tsuzuki. Anyway, please do support Japanese cosplayer Ishiori Arie by visiting her World Cosplay account! Thanks to Ariana for sending this in!

Their Story: Qiu Tong and Sun Jing

When Sun Jing first saw Qiu Tong waiting for the bus at the station, she was planning on getting her name and number because thought Qiu Tong was quite cute. However, things did not go according to plan because Sun Jing felt so embarrassed trying to talk to her that she ended up not saying anything at all! This made Qiu Tong’s friend suspicious of Sun Jing and so she decided to ask Qiu Tong to ride and extra stop past their usual station, with the excuse that she had something she wanted to buy.

Aren’t they cute? Mon and Stay make the perfect Qiu Tong and Sun Jing! Please support them by visiting their Facebook pages, Mon夢 and stayxxxx! Thanks to Katy for sending this in!

Tokyo Ghoul: Kamishiro Rize

Before some parts of her body were transplanted into Kaneki Ken, Rize was a powerful, merciless ghoul who wrecked havoc in the 11th ward. She killed all of the ghouls in charge, causing a shift in power and inadvertently attracting Anti Ghoul Investigators to the scene. She is known as the “Binge Eater” and, like Ken, she is said to be quite fond of reading.

I do like the expression on Aiko Aoki’s face in this photo. I’m not quite sure if she is just interested, or if she’s about to eat someone! Anyway, if you like her work, please visit her Facebook, Twitter, or World Cosplay! Thanks to Christine for sending this in!
