Fate/Zero: Saber

Saber is known in Fate/Zero as the King of Knights, and she maintains a high code of honor. Although Emiya Kiritsugu is her Master and they are both seeking the same ultimate goal of peace, they have different ideological perspectives. As a result, their relationship is strained and Kiritsugu does not directly acknowledge her.

It's nice to see a cosplayer wearing Saber's black suit. This is one of my favorite outfits for the character. Thanks again to Warren for sending this!

Fate/Stay Night: Archer and Tohsaka Rin

Tohsaka Rin is one of the masters of the 5th Holy Grail War. When she tried to summon a Saber-class servant, she accidentally called Archer, who is well adept in bare-handed fighting, armed combat, Magecraft, and even housework. Her failure in summoning is partially due to her lack of formal magic education, but she is considered to be extremely powerful in her own right.

Another beautiful cosplay by Kanda Midori! I wonder who she is with this time? That cosplayer looks like quite an impressive Archer. Thanks to Edwin for sending this in!

Soul Calibur II: Amy Sorel

Once a poor orphan who lived on the streets of Rouen, Amy Sorel's parents died of a plague known as the Black Death which spread across all of Europe during her time. Having no other family to turn to, she came across a man named Raphael Sorel, who was being chased by the local authorities. She hid Raphael from the soldiers, for she herself feared them as they ran her poverty-stricken town. Raphael felt that he needed to repay her for saving his life, and took her in to raise her as his own daughter.

That is one amazing cosplayer. Does anyone know who she might be? This was taken at Hanami 2011 in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and the photographer, Craoz, is looking for who this cosplayer is so that he can credit her as well. Thanks again to Niena for sending this in!

Rurouni Kenshin: Makimachi Misao

Born in Kyoto Prefecture in November 1863, Makimachi Misao is the granddaughter of the former Okashira of the Oniwabanshuu. She was in the care of the last leader, Shinomori Aoshi, until he, Han'nya, Shikijo, Beshimi, and Hyottoko left her to Kashiwazaki Nenji, also known as Okina of the Oniwabanshuu, when she was eight. She and Okina formed a strong bond, but in her mind, Aoshi was still the best.

I can't believe there's a cosplay for my favorite character from this classic series! I guess with the new live action movie coming out, fans won't miss the chance to show their support through cosplay! Thanks again to Ingrid for sending this in!

Rozen Maiden: Shinku 05

Being the fifth Rozen Maiden, Shinku's name could also be a play on the Japanese pronunciation of the word "cinq", which is French for the number five. Nevertheless, Shinku in Japanese could mean Reiner Rubin or Crimson.

Shinku is a true lady and a pacifist who doesn't want to fight against her sisters. Her presence in the Sakurada home has led to other Rozen Maidens appearing there.

A really cute Shinku from Comiket 81! It looks like her dress is made of velvet! Not to mention that her face looks like porcelain! A true doll! Thanks to Andrew for sending this in!
