Both Eruka Frog and Franken Stein are victims of Medusa Gorgon, a snake-themed witch who contains one thousand magical arrow-shaped snakes inside her body. Stein’s insanity worsened after Medusa forced Crona to plant a magical snake inside his replaced weapon partner, Marie Mjolnir. Eruka, on the other hand, was infested with Medusa’s countless magical snakes that threaten to kill her, unless she follows Medusa’s orders.

Awesome cosplay by Cosplay-vania’s Mimi as Eruka, Kathryn as Medusa, and Stuart as Stein! They have a lot of action shots in their blog, so please give them a visit too! Thanks to Mimi for sending this in and to Fenyx Design for the awesome photography!

Although raised as a boy by her father, Lady Oscar has no reason to pretend to be a man because most of those at Versailles know that she is a woman. She fell in love with Hans Axel von Fersen, a Swedish count, who unfortunately only had eyes for the queen and thus treated Oscar like a friend without knowing her true feelings for him. When the revolution began, André Grandier confessed to Oscar that he loved her, and she realized that she loved him too.

Another beautiful cosplay by Bluewater! This is apparently her most favorite costume as well as her most expensive one. Please visit her website for more of her works! Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Lily first appeared on the cover of the CD "Anim.o.v.e. 01" on the 19th of August 2009 before the announcement of her vocaloid development. Her voice source is the lead vocalist of m.o.v.e., Masuda Yuri. The idea of developing a vocaloid based on Yuri's voice came about as one of the m.o.v.e. members was a vocaloid user.

Cute cosplayer from Japan’s Chokaigi 2012! The cosplayer looks familiar somehow, does anyone recognize her? Thanks again to Stilzkin for sending this in!

Seventeen months after Aizen Sosuke’s defeat, Neliel Tu Orderschvank went to Karakura Town in search of Kurosaki Ichigo. She then informed him about the Vandenreich, a group of Quincies who apparently survived the massacre years ago, have taken over Hueco Mundo. Both she and Pesche also told him that Dondochakka was captured and asked for his help.

Another amazing cosplay by Moena Riu! She now has a personal blog, so please give her a visit to see more from this photo shot. Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Kuronuma Sawako is a sweet and timid girl who is often misunderstood by her classmates because of her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring. As a result, rumors began to spread that Sawako could actually see ghosts and even place curses on people. However, when her idol, Kazehaya Shota spoke to her, everything changed, and she tries her best in making friends just like she always dreamed of.

I realize this is Miura Haruma and Tabe Mikako from the official live-action movie of Kimi ni Todoke, but I think it could still be considered cosplay, wouldn’t you agree? Besides, after I saw the movie, I knew I had to feature them, even if I didn’t like the ending very much.

I hope you guys like the new layout! I found this photo in Rana-anime's Blog!

When Kohaku and Rin were taken to the underworld by a hellhound, Sesshomaru pursued them but Rin unfortunately stopped breathing during her captivity. Furious, Sesshomaru killed the Underworld Master in an attempt to save her, but was still unable to revive her. Realizing the pain of losing someone important, Tenseiga reacted to his compassion and purified the underworld, bringing them back to the world of the living.

This is Stein, a male cosplayer from the Philippines who makes a wonderful Sesshoumaru. I’m actually glad a guy cosplayed him this time, because he is also one of my most favorite characters. The photo was taken by ~eLLeDejaVu during the 888 Chinatown Square's “Pearl of the Orient” Convention in Bacolod City, Philippines. Thanks again for allowing me to feature this, Stein! We’re looking forward to more cosplays from you!

Known to be a hard worker, Marisa is trying to catch up to Reimu with her secret training and magic development. This makes her a good contrast to other humans appearing in the series because most of them either have natural born talent like Reimu, or strong abilities like Sakuya. So she is sometimes referred as the “most human-ish human” in Touhou Project.

Cute cosplayer! It looks like she’s in a convention hall. I wonder which one? Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Aeon is a member of a group that watches over and preserves the flow of time. Once he became aware of Galamoth's plan to send the Time Reaper to destroy Dracula and change history, Aeon pulled together fighters from different parts of the Castlevania timeline and placed them into a time rift. He then set them against each other, and even battled them himself, hoping to find the one with the most chance of defeating the Time Reaper.

Those are some of the most epic details I have ever laid eyes on! You really need to check out the full view of this photo. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

The oldest among the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Pluto has been described as distant and somewhat lonely. This is possibly due to duty of being stationed at the Space-Time door entrusted to her by Queen Serenity. However, she does consistently display warmth and affection for Chibiusa, and later cares for Hotaru along with Michiru and Haruka.

Another epic cosplay by Saya! I wonder why I’m getting a lot of her photos lately. I guess her fans are missing her a lot these days? Thanks to Maritess for sending this in and to MPzero for the awesome photography!

In recent chapters of the manga as well as the second season of the anime, it was revealed that Sebastian Michaelis wasn’t always the perfect butler that everyone knew. In fact, he and his master, Ciel Phantomhive, often got on each other’s nerves during the first few days (or perhaps even weeks) of Ciel’s return as the head of the Phantomhive household. In the end, they managed to sort out their differences and “compromised” to some extent.

That is just so awesome! The angle of the shot, the expression on the cosplayer’s face, and the hand gesture looks so in-character! Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Known to be a Quest class demon, Karasu has the ability to use his aura to create bombs undetectable by lower level demons. If need be, he can also create bombs within his victims, and even use his own body as an explosive. The mask he wears over his mouth acts as a stabilizer for his uncontrollable powers.

I don’t like this character mainly because he made Kurama suffer a lot during their fight at the tournament. But I have to admit, this is a very good cosplay of him. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Stocking claims that she has very special standards in men and she would prefer to be with someone she loves rather than just for the heck of it. She strings men along because she doesn’t want them to believe she’s “an easy catch”. Stocking is very loyal and would never cheat on someone she truly loves.

We’ve all seen girls cosplaying male characters, and there are lots of them here in Cosplay Holic. But if I told you the cosplayer behind today’s feature is actually a 14-year-old boy, would you believe me?

Well, that’s what Yukino said when she submitted this photo, and the cosplayer is apparently a friend of hers. I’m not sure what to think, but I do know that he’s really cute though. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Mystery solved! The cosplayer of this photo is actually a girl. Sorry to disappoint(?) you guys, but I'll try to find out who she is at least!

Coyote Starrk is the Primera Espada, signified by the “1” tattooed on the back of his left hand. Starrk and Lilynette came into being as the result of a Hollow splitting its soul in two out of loneliness. This was brought on by the fact that its vast spiritual pressure was too deadly for those who got too close, even towards other Hollows it tried to befriend. Starrk apparently does not remember which of them resembled the original Hollow.

It’s pretty awesome to see the two of them together. I liked Starrk’s laidback attitude in the beginning of the anime. Thanks to Mae for sending this in!

Like Sephiroth before him, Kadaj’s trip into the Lifestream does not actually kill him. He eventually revived himself along with two more Remnants of Sephiroth, Loz and Yazoo, inside the Northern Cave Crater as the Turks were collecting Jenova's head. The three of them effortlessly defeated the Turks before deciding to locate Jenova's head, that of which the Turks had somehow managed to escape with.

Another awesome cosplay by Saya! Every time I see her cosplay photos, it makes me sad that we will never be able to see new ones from her anymore. Thanks again to Sheila for sending this in!
