During any normal year, I attend anywhere from 2-4
conventions.
There’s always Otakon and
Katsucon and a couple of smaller cons too if I can squeeze them in.
Usually, I try to save all the cosplay themed
Top 5 lists for October because it’s the universal month for costumes and what
not.
However, this is not a normal year
by any means.
So four straight weeks of
cosplay themed Top 5s is kind of impossible…well maybe not, I just wasn’t thinking
much about it considering what kind of a year its been.
Still, there’s no reason I cant do another
look at the only con I got to go to this year, Katsucon (that’s a lie, I went
Animore too).
Considering I see hundreds
of cosplays everytime I go to Katsu, I could do like a Top 20 if I wanted.
Anyway, rambling, how about we check out some
more Katsucon Cosplays.
These are my Top
5 Katsucon 2020 Cosplays (Part 2).
Oh
and if you’re interested in Part 1 from a few months back, feel free to take a
look at it right here:

#5-Space Pirate Ryoko
As a guy who really found his love for Anime in the late 90s/early
2000’s, it’s always a happy moment to see a character being cosplayed from a
show I grew up with.
Tenchi Muyo is one
of those illustrious Toonami legends I still adore and Ryoko still freaking
rocks.
So cudos to this cosplayer for
pull out the infamous Space Pirate in her sweet looking Tenchi Universe variant.
Always a pleasure to see the old school still
being repped at a con.
#4-Femme Overhaul
My good friend MakePretender is a whiz at genderbending
cosplays and her take on the primary antagonist from My Hero Academia’s fourth
season was no exception to her skills.
The overall look is very cute and a very comfy wear for a con this
cold.
But the beak mask, that took some
real talent to make and I’m happy she pulled it all off flawlessly.

#3-Guardian Dreadscythe
I’ve only known Dan aka Biracialangel for about a year
and change but not only is he a chill dude, he’s also got a real knack for heavy
duty cosplays.
This means cosplays with a
lot of props and armor that no doubt look tough to move in but the end result
is worth it.
This Guardian Dreadscythe
for example:
with the cape and shoulder
blades and yes, that scythe looks as big as you’d think.
Dude put a lot of effort into this look and
it shows.
It’s always a pleasure to see
what next project he has in store.

#2-Elsa: the 5th Element
I hope I wasn’t the only one who got this.
I mean, yeah The 5
th Element is a
popular movie but who would think about this combo after seeing Frozen 2?
You’d think it’d be easier to call Elsa the “Avatar”
of Disney.
But someone saw Frozen 2 and
caught on that Elsa is that little universes “5
th Element”.
And I’m so happy I could spot this cool blue
take on the famous outfit worn by Mila Jovovich in the 90s scifi Classic.
It’s a look this Elsa rocked perfectly and I think
I made her day by pointing out I knew what it was.
Bonus points for the little “Multipass” she
included with the look.
#1-Freddie F’ing Mercury
I ran into KidKryptonite several times at Katsucon and
mostly it was around the late night dance scenes by the Gazeebo.
Much like this one fan favorite cosplayer who
can basically pull off any Will Smith character, Kid K is the spitting image of
the legendary frontrunner of Queen.
He
can pull off the manerisms, the voice, the moves, everything.
I’m so mad I missed out on his doing a “Ayyyyyyo”
on Saturday night.
Funny, when getting
pumped for Katsucon, listening to Queen’s usually a way to get myself
excited.
Now I know there’s an awesome
Freddie F’ing Mercury out there making dreams a reality.

adventures can be checked out here:
