Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: Axel

kingdom hearts: chain of memories cosplay - axelKnown as "the Flurry of Dancing Flames", Axel is in charge of the Assassin Nobodies and is entrusted to deal with Organization traitors. He wishes to achieve his own ideal of immortality by having everyone he comes in contact with remember him. He was called Lea when he was his original self and was friends with Isa before he became Saïx.

Awesome Axel cosplay! I wonder how the cosplayer got the wig (or their own hair) to stand up like that? Thanks to Rie for sending this in!

rozen maiden cosplay - hinaichigo 02

In the manga, Odille Fosset took Hinaichigo from Jun Sakurada when she revealed a ring that appeared to be from Hinaichigo. Although Jun assures Hinaichigo that she could stay with whomever she wishes, she unconsciously decides to go with Odille. It is later revealed that Odille is the granddaughter of Corinne, Hinaichigo's previous owner.

Cute cosplay! I love the frills on her costume, and she has a ring too! Thanks to Galimar for sending this in!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell 04

gundam seed destiny cosplay - meer campbell 04A young woman who received plastic surgery so that she would look like Lacus Clyne, Meer Campbell was used by Gilbert Durandal in order to get the citizens on PLANT to support him. She is flirty, excitable, and adores Athrun Zala, although he does not feel the same way. When Athrun defects, he attempts to convince Meer to escape Gibraltar with him, but she refuses as she prefers to live as Lacus Clyne.

Kipi is the cosplayer behind this Meer, though I can't recall Meer wearing a bikini in the series. It's been a while since I've seen it though. Thanks to O' Brian for sending this in!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 05

fate/stay night cosplay - saber 05

Standing amongst the most outstanding of classes, Saber is excellent in all categories, making her one of the most powerful servants in the world of Fate/Stay Night. Even though Emiya Shiro could not effectively provide her with Mana, she minimizes her activities in order to preserve what she has. She is often frustrated by her master's protective tendencies and believes that his reckless behavior will jeopardize their chance of winning the Holy Grail War.

It's rare to see Saber with her hair down, but I love the distant look she has in her eyes. Could she be the same cosplayer I featured last December 2009? Thanks to Dai for sending this in!

Macross Frontier: Brera Sterne

macross frontier cosplay - brera sterne / brera meiThe mysterious pilot of the crimson VF-27 variable fighter, Brera is a cyborg whose memories have been modified some time ago. The only thing he does remember from his past is Ranka's song "Aimo", the first part of which he can play with his harmonica. He is very protective of Ranka but is uncertain with the reason behind his actions.

Beautiful cosplay and wonderful photography once again by Hexlord! I wonder if the cosplayer actually has a harmonica or is just posed to appear as if s/he has one? Thanks to Joanne for sending this in!

Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku 09

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - rikku 09One of the most notable changes in Rikku from Final Fantasy X to Final Fantasy X-2 is the design of her outfit. Although there are many similarities to casual wear in X, her clothing is by far more revealing and her hair is much longer. She has also become one of the main protagonists in X-2.

Awesome cosplay of Rikku! Really love how she did her hair on this one! Thanks again to Linda for the contributions!
