Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge 09

Lelouch Lamperouge possesses very strong philosophical beliefs that define his actions and motivations. He is against his father’s beliefs of social Darwinism, a term used for various late nineteenth century ideologies predicted on the idea of survival of the fittest. He believes that the world can live in cooperation rather than competition and conflict.

Beautiful cosplay! Although I’m not entirely sure this is Lelouch or not, but Daniella seems to think so! Thank you for sending this in!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge 08

Lelouch Lamperouge may be outstanding when it comes to intellect, but he proved to be physically underwhelming throughout the series. He is constantly outpaced by his classmates in every situation, and even the simplest of tasks requiring manual labor exhaust him before he manages to complete anything significant. He does, however, display above average hand-eye coordination, both with firearms and the keyboard-based control system of the Shinkiro.

The cosplayer’s eyes are really captivating in this photo. Even his/her pose is very much in character, but I wish we could see the cosplayer’s face. Thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for sharing Rainer Tachibana's Deviant Art!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Euphemia li Britannia

Lelouch Lamperouge's half-sister and the Third Princess of the Holy Britannia Empire, Euphemia li Britannia is a kindhearted and open-minded woman who despises conflict of any form. She joins her older sister, Conelia, in governing Area 11, thus becoming the Sub-Viceroy. She develops a relationship with Kururugi Suzaku as they share the same views, and eventually appoints him as her personal knight.

Beautiful Euphemia! I’m wondering if the initials “K.L.” are the cosplayer’s or the photographer’s. I hope someone here can tell me! Thanks to Katrina for sending this in!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge 07

Even without the power of his Geass, Lelouch proves to be a formidable opponent. He is highly intelligent, possessing a genius-level intellect, and is capable of devising and executing strategies with incredible speed and precision. At one point, Rollo notes that operating the Absolute Defense Field of the Shinkiro requires complex calculations which he cannot perform, while Lelouch almost makes it look easy. He is also very charismatic and persuasive.

Absolutely stunning cosplay by Sui082! She has a ton of cosplays that are all very impressive in her gallery. Thanks to 莉磨 for sharing this!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kallen Kozuki Stradtfeld 02

A highly skilled Knightmare Frame pilot, rivaling the abilities of the Knights of the Round, Kallen is acknowledged as the best pilot of the Black Knights by enemies and allies alike. Her codename, “Q-1”. is the Queen’s starting point in descriptive chess notation. By Lelouch’s assessment of the core members of the Black Knights, her “Combat Ability” is 100, matching Todo Kyoshiro’s score, and her “Loyalty” is also the highest possible score of 100.

Quite an impressive cosplay by Hong Kong-ese cosplayer, 雪嵐 (Xue Lan)! The location for this photoshoot is also very fitting for the character. Thanks to Xue Lan for sharing this with me!

Farewell, Saya…

Many of you have probably already heard the news, but I didn’t want to post this until I confirmed it myself… Sadly, it appears the rumor regarding Miss Saya’s untimely death appears to be true.

According to her little sister, Miss Saya (沙谷) passed away at 5:27 am on the 15th of March due to an accident. There are no further details as of yet, and there isn’t much we can do at this point because we don’t even know what Miss Saya’s real name is.

In her official blog, however, Miss Saya did confirm that she was not affected by the recent earthquake, not the tsunami that is devastating Japan up until now. Her facebook fanpage has also confirmed that her death was not caused by suicide, nor is the news any sort of sick April Fool’s joke; as there have been rumors that Saya was retiring from cosplaying.

For me, I am a huge fan of Miss Saya’s. And as a tribute to her, I would like to ask my readers to help me find some of her cosplay photos that I have yet to feature on Cosplay Holic for the entire month of April (You can contribute by sending me an email via kurohiko at gmail dot com). Although I can’t feature her every single day, I would like to do as much as I can to show that we, her fans, will never forget her.

Rest in peace, Miss Saya… I wish I had met you before you had gone… My thanks to Tina, St. Arcana, and Katserest for letting me know about this sad news.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: C.C. 03

Often called "Pizza Girl" by Lelouch and Kallen, C.C. has a strong penchant for pizza, especially Pizza Hut’s, who sponsored the show in Japan. She constantly orders pizzas to Lelouch’s house using his credit card to pay for it. She also carries around a stuff toy of “Cheese-kun”, the company’s mascot in Japan.

Impressive C.C. by Lucia! Simple, yet effective, and it’s making me crave for pizzas. Thanks to Cherry for suggesting this!

2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity

When Natalie Parisi sent me an email regarding a 2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity, I had to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. Mainly because I’ve had many requests like this in the past, and none seemed legitimate aside from this one:

About this nonprofit:

Oh, and can anyone tell me which series the cosplayers are from so I can tag this in my blog properly please? I can only name a few… Thank you so much!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kururugi Suzaku and Lelouch Lamperouge 02

Two months after Lelouch Lamperouge is declared the Ruler of the World, Lelouch arranged for the public execution of the Black Knight Leaders and the U.F.N. Representatives. Before he could do so, however, Zero interrupted him and stabbed him in the stomach. The Zero who killed Lelouch was actually Kururugi Suzaku, and his final act was the culmination of Zero Requiem, just as they had planned. Lelouch gave Suzaku one final order: to disregard his old identity and play the role of Zero for the rest of his life. Thus, a new world was created.

So pretty! And such a sad ending. Perhaps I need to find the DVDs for this anime very soon. Thanks to Garcia for sending this!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge and Kururugi Suzaku

Lelouch of Britannia and Suzaku of Japan first met when Lelouch and his sister, Nunally moved to the Kururugi residence as a diplomatic peace trade. Suzaku initially thought Lelouch was a prince who did not care for anyone other than himself, but as he came to know him better, they became the best of friends. They were separated from one another when Britannia invaded Japan, but were reunited once more in the Shinjuku Ghetto.

Beautiful cosplay! I can see a smirk in Lelouch’s face which is actually how I picture him to be. Suzaku looks very charming as well. Thanks to Tamina for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for crediting this photo to Kansaiii and Lenneth XVII!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kururgi Suzaku 03

Even though Suzaku does not have any powers like Lelouch does, he has very good hand-eye coordination and has extensive military training in both firearms and hand-to-hand combat. He is also incredibly strong, as he is able to carry Lelouch and Shirley on his own with one arm.

Before Britannia invaded Japan, Suzaku was trained by Tohdoh Kyoshiro, the head of the Black Knight's military operations. As such, Suzaku is gifted in martial arts and kendo, and spent most of his time training to become stronger.

Really beautiful cosplay! I love the overall look and white really does suit Suzaku very much. The sword was very well-crafted too. Great work! Thanks to Recarrie for sharing this!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kururugi Suzaku and Lelouch Lamperouge

A pair of childhood friends who wish for the same goal but prefer different methods, Lelouch and Suzaku never thought that they would have to face each other as enemies for the benefit of their country. While Lelouch will stop at nothing to achieve his goals (going as far as creating an alternate ego known as Zero), Suzaku believes that achieving something through wrong doings are meaningless. Despite these obvious differences in opinion, the two remain friends, and helped in creating a new and peaceful Britannia.

Pretty awesome cosplay! The material for the costumes look like real leather. It must be very hot and uncomfortable to wear. Wonderful job!

I suppose the main problem with this is that the photo is so small that it's quite hard to make out all the little details of the cosplay. But even if it is small, I wanted to post it anyway because I really like it.

Maybe my readers can figure out who the character is? Or maybe even who the cosplayer is so that I can find a better resolution for this particular photo.

Any takers? Thoughts, guesses, or anything you can throw me at would be appreciated; thank you!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Kururugi Suzaku

The son of Japan's Prime Minister Kururugi Genbu, Suzaku serves Britannia's army and was chosen to test its latest Knightmare Frame, Lancelot. He is Lelouch Lamperouge's best friend and believes that anything that is achieved by use of wrong or illegal methods is meaningless. He became Zero's rival, at first not knowing Zero was in fact his best friend.

I don't think this actually happened in the series, so it's not really much of a spoiler. Gotta love the details of this cosplay though. Great work!

EDIT: Thank you to Alena for pointing me to Team X PRO-JeKCT of Russia! The cosplayer's name is Tasuki, and her make up was done by Nataku. Photography was done by JustMoolti, and you can find the original image here.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2: Anya Alstreim

Known as the Knight of Six in the Knights of the Round, Anya is the youngest knight who seems disinterested in the world around her except when it comes to combat.

She has a habit of constantly updating her blog with her camera phone because she desperately seeks to be remembered. She has a nine year old diary which she does not remember writing, and so blogging is her way of keeping her memories. What she doesn’t know is she is under the influence of the Geass… for a very good reason.

Beautiful cosplay! I guess the color pink and the character’s name really caught my attention this time. I know someone named Anya after all. Good Job~

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2: C.C.

My apologies for not updating for a while. I’ve been very busy with a lot of things, mostly personal, but let’s not bore people with that.

Now then, for today’s feature we have C.C. from the second season of Code Geass. Interesting to note that our pizza loving immortal is still… an immortal. I don’t think Lelouch had the chance to actually fulfill his promise to her, and yet she is happy.

The more I read about Code Geass, the more I want to get a copy of this anime.

Beautiful C.C. cosplay! This shared to us by 帝, who had the other C.C. I featured. Now that I think about it, could it be the same cosplayer too?

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge

The story of Code Geass revolves around the life of one man, Lelouch Lamperouge. His true identity is Lelouch vi Britannia, the 11th Prince of the Britannian Imperial Family.

Because of the assassination of his mother and the crippling of his sister, Nunally, Lelouch sought to create a better world for her. C.C. gives him the power of the Geass in order for him to command others to behave as he wishes. He also creates his alter-ego, Zero, to destroy Britannia and rebuild it.

You may recognize her as Omiya Lotus from Deviant Art… I’ve also features Omiya as Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji. Her cosplays are really amazing don’t you agree?

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: C.C. 02

A mysterious girl with mysterious powers, C.C.’s abilities caught the interest of Britannia and was imprisoned as part of its experiments in the past.

After being rescued by Lelouch, she bestows her powers to him under one condition: he must grant her greatest wish to pass on to the next life. She currently oversees Lelouch’s plans and helps him to succeed.

Not your typical C.C. cosplay, but still very impressive. I like the goth look on her, though I’m wondering if this is an original or if the series actually dressed her that way in one of the episodes? Anyone know?

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Clovis la Britannia

I think I may have an idea..!

Or perhaps not.

The picture does look as if s/he’s saying s/he’s got an idea or maybe a plan, but I have no idea who this character is or from which series s/he is from. But I do like the costume. 8) Some people can probably guess why, too.

Anyone care to take a guess? On who the character is I mean…

First found this on Photobucket!
