Sword Art Online Phantom Bullet

 

We’ve discussed about Kirito’s relationships with other female characters from Sword Art Online (Click here to read), now it’s time we talk about Kirito and Sinon.

Spoiler Alert: The following contents (wikia) contain details about future plotlines described in the light novels. If  you don’t want to be spoiled, jump to the introduction of the costumes.

Asada Shino (Sinon) was the first person that Kirito became acquainted with in the world of Gun Gale Online. However, at the time, Sinon had presumed that Kirito was a girl due to his avatar being the rare M9000 type. This led to an easy misunderstanding and a hard slap that started their relationship off as a heated rivalry and hatred (friendly on Kirito’s part). However, Sinon had respect for him the instant he tackled the extremely difficult arcade game and won on the first try.

When they journeyed to find Excaliber, and Kirito yanked playfully on Sinon’s tail. The end result was very negative though, as expected. However, Kirito both respects and trusts her in both the real world and in the world of GGO. He does not doubt her unbelievable precision as a sniper, and does not doubt her.

Sinon actually despised Kirito at first, when he neglected to inform her of his gender. Events added up, and the two became rivals. However, their relationship steered in an entirely new direction when she noticed that Kirito might be dealing with the same grief she was as well. By the time she was beginning to get over her phobia of the Black Star, she began to have feelings for Kirito that may have been kindled ever since their duel during Barrett of Bullets.

 

Introduction of Kirito’s costume and Sinon’s Costume

Kirito is still all in black. He has a long hair in GGO, looks like a girl. The shoes haven’t been made, so the model is wearing former version.

He uses a pistol so we made a holster at the back on the belt. You can click the photo to see all details of the costume.

Sinon’s costume is a bit complex but we successfully completed all details. We had a pair of boots for her but the bottom of the trouser leg is too small to cover the boots like how it should be, so we used a simple shoes instead.

Please click the photo to check. The hair accessories are sold separately.

Sinon is a sniper so her weapon is a sniper rifle, PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate IIwhich is also available in our store.

 

Bet you’ll be a stunning couple with our costumes on any convention!

Top 5 Unlucky Anime Characters

Do you feel unlucky sometimes? Read this blog and you’ll find your bad luck is nothing compared to these Anime characters’. They are just like living in bad luck and may even face the danger of losing their lives. Well, maybe some people enjoy that feeling. (ドM? haha)

No.1 Nobita Nobi from Doraemon

nobita
The name Nobita is a household name as well as Doraemon. Nobita’s shortcomings are obvious, lazy, cowardly, clumsy and forgetful. He’s often being bullied. He would talk big while irritated but then he could only turn to Doraemon. Doraemon helps Nobita every time with inventions, however, he would screw it up in the end. According to the statistics, Nobita was beaten by Takeshi Gouta 1173 times, scolded 320 times by the teacher and 927 times by his mother, bitten by a dog 123 times, and fell into a ditch 140 times… Who can live a life like that?

 

No.2 Kogorou Mouri(Richard Moore) from Detective Conan

Kogorou Mouri
Have you heard of “Sleeping Kogoro”? It is the name of a famous detective. But in fact almost all the cases are solved by Shinichi(Conan). I guess there must be hundreds of pinholes in the back of his neck, since Conan always shoots him there with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch to narcotize him. Kogoro is seriously a drunkard. He also likes to play with women. Whenever people praises him for being a great detective, he often laughs and acts all snobby. Seems that he doesn’t deserve our pity.

 

No.3 Team Rocket from Pokemon

Team Rocket
Team Rocket is cute and charming among so many villains in Anime. Jessie, James, and Meowth are generally considered failures, as they almost are never successful in their schemes and are incompetent. They mainly focused their attention on Ash in hopes of stealing his Pikachu. However they always fail and are always defeated hundreds of times with their blasting off into the sky. All that I can say is “no zuo no die”.

 

No.4 Touma Kamijou from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

Touma Kamijou
Touma is the type that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person. This he does at great risk to himself, which typically results in him being hospitalized for several days after each confrontation. “Unlucky” is Touma’s pet phrase. It seems that he’s been unlucky after birth. He’s been through countless physical and mental injuries. But some people do envy his good luck with girls.

 

No.5 Kon from Bleach

Kon
A perverted guy being preoccupied by sex much of the time ends up in a stuffed toy’s body? I’d say that’s called bad luck, especially being dressed up as a girl many times. Kon was one of the last Mod-Souls ever created for Project Spearhead but the project was shut down soon. Well, he’s not so unlucky, at least he got escaped from being terminated, and now he can take advantage of his stuffed animal body to get girls to hug him to their chests.

They’re unlucky, but thanks to their bad luck which bring us more laugh.

Zentai Suit is King — Special Anime Battle Suit Appreciation (Part 1 American Comic Heroes)

We can discover beauty in everything, even battle has its own aesthetics, and battle suit is an aspect of showing it. Undoubtedly, the most typical one is zentai suit among all battle suits. Under its tight covering, each and every move would show strength and beauty of the human body curve. In anime world, there’re all kinds of zentai suits in diversity of form and function. Some may be even more impressive than their wearers. Now let’s have a look and appreciate them.

Part 1 :Battle suits of American Comic Heroes

 

superman

In American comics, ever since superman puts on his blue zentai and red cloak (oh, don’t forget to wear a red underwear outside) in times of crisis, and saves the world as a hero, “zentai + super hero” is a normal attribute for American comic heroes. Can’t you see that even steel armor in Avengers is tight and showing the curve of strength? What these heroes in zentai suits have in common is that they are powerfully built.

1). Captain America

Captain_America_Portrait_Art

Imagine Captain America wear a zentai suit on his former small sized body, that would look like a young ballet dancer, right? By the gods of Marvel, this slim guy who was chosen for his uprightness became a muscular man after injecting super warrior serum. He is not born as a hero, he is not immortal, he is just tougher, braver and smarter than ordinary people.
Captain America is regarded as an emblem of America’s spirit. Not only his name included the country’s name, but also his zentai suit is featured with national flags as well as his shield.
Old-fashioned is never out of date, Captain America will always fight for humanity with his spirit of freedom.

2). Spiderman

Spiderman

Spiderman has a keen perception — “spider sense”, and he can shoot very strong spider-web strings from wrists via web-shooters. He is agile and vigorous. He sews his own costume to conceal his identity, which is a zentai suit. The zentai suit includes a red top with araignee lace and dark blue tights, covering him from top of the head to the toes. Do not worry whether he will feel suffocated, after all spiderman is a superhero turned by spider genes. This zentai suit doesn’t hamper his movements at all. Spiderman is one of Marvel’s flagship characters.

3). Batman

Batman

Among so many heroes, batman must be most famous tuhao. He spends much money to build himself a combat gear with the world’s advanced technology. The batman costume is fireproof, bulletproof, anti-shock and anti-explosion. The gloves and boots are also strengthened to protect him. The material of the costume even has attemperation capability. He seems always so cool in his zentai suit.

Just to mention a few other heroes: The Flash, red zentai suit with a golden lightning logo on the chest; Green Lantern, green zentai suit and green sunglasses (thank god no green hat); Martian Manhunter, green zentai suit, red cross straps, blue shorts, blue cloak and blue boots (all I can say is this outfit definitely comes from Mars).

The FlashGreen LanternMartian Manhunter

Thus it can be seen, to be a superhero, besides owning special powers, you also need to have a nice body that underneath a zentai suit. Justice League? Maybe we can call them Zentai Suit League. (Forgive me for saying that)

 

Next post , we will discuss the Battle suits of Japanese Anime Manga Heroes .
