   the last one is ikkaku madarame with his bankai, this badass dude from the manga/anime Bleach

2. # that guyon 08 Jul 2009 at 11:04 am

   nice one. the last one is Ikakku’s Bankai from Bleach..

3. # Madisonon 08 Jul 2009 at 11:06 am

   Nothing compares to the Samus Aran costume. That is just amazing.

4. # that guyon 08 Jul 2009 at 11:06 am

   oh, umm, forget it then, hadn’t seen that comment..
   *hide head in shame*

   @Madison: no, that’s not amazing, thats a girl. G-I-R-L. They lack the penis part. Oh, and have boobs. Walk out more - you might see one.

   And for the record - the Starcraft Marine and Brootherhood of Steel soldier looks waay more awesome than Samus cosplay.

   @ BTM

   I totally would, but they frighten me. I feel safer behind my computer.

   I just played through MGS4 for the 5th time, and they say Snake has SOME asian decent, and when I read about more characters it seems like no matter what fuckin country their from, Kojima always made sure they were somehow of asian decent. Kinda fuckin irritating.

8. # crispyon 08 Jul 2009 at 3:33 pm

   @ Madison

   No you don’t understand it’s just BTM would have enjoyed it more if that Samus had a penis… Because he’s a fag.

   Seriously though that is one epicly hot Samus

9. # Madisonon 08 Jul 2009 at 3:37 pm

   @ crispy

   Ah, makes sense. I really had no idea what he was trying to say.

   Agreed on that Samus. Wow.

19. # Jordanon 09 Jul 2009 at 1:09 pm

    Kenpachi is standing next to Ikakku in the last one.

20. # prizimon 09 Jul 2009 at 1:17 pm

    next to Ikkaku (in the last pic) is his captain, Kenpachi Zaraki.

21. # joon 09 Jul 2009 at 1:24 pm

    i saw the last guy at AX, his costume took up a whole aisle in the exhibition hall.

24. # Paul Tassion 09 Jul 2009 at 1:31 pm

    So the last guy’s from Bleach eh? Not a video game, but whatever, badass nonetheless.

    I’m not sure I understand this whole “Samus with a penis” debate.

29. # Madisonon 09 Jul 2009 at 2:35 pm

    @ L

    That’s a real good costume, but I prefer my Samus to look a bit more like she’s been through some major shit.

    Thanks for the link.

    That Samus Aran cosplayer is really cool. She is half Japanese half Swedish if I remember correctly.

32. # Madisonon 09 Jul 2009 at 3:10 pm

    @ Vectoor

    She’s got a very unique, very attractive look to her. You don’t see a lot of half Japanese, half Swedish girls.

33. # Madisonon 09 Jul 2009 at 3:12 pm

    @ Daniel

    Nice find. There’s no way that costume can be comfortable.

    Well, Bleach has a shitload of games out, espicially on the handhelds, so it kinda counts

39. # Paul Tassion 09 Jul 2009 at 5:49 pm

    Yeah, but that’s like saying someone dressed as Aragorn counts as video game cosplay because EA made a bunch of Lord of the Rings games.

    @Golgo13 - what movie? Those were costumes from the 405th Halo costuming board.

    Thanks for featuring me! Someone just let me know I was on here.

    As for the Samus cosplay, nothing personal against the cosplayer, she’s really good, but she still doesn’t have armor. Just because she’s attractive doesn’t make up for the fact that she still has a costume made almost entirely out of soft materials. There are a few other Samus costumes that deserve the Best Samus Ever title much more than she does. One is in a link that someone posted on this very page.

    and yes Samus Aran, the character is a girl. lol

    Did this guy even try to find a good Link or Samus? Cardboard Samus makes me sad. (Or it’s Wonderflex poorly executed, I have no clue) I could have found better ones. In fact, here we go :

    The most impressive Link cosplayer. She’s very kind too!
