Re:Zero made its debut in 2016, and was an instant hit. Viewers around the world became captivated by its dark story about a boy who can come back to life after dying repeatedly.
After a four year hiatus, the show finally made its return in July. To celebrate its second season, a skilled cosplayer brought series lead Emilia to life with an insanely accurate costume.
Re:Zero cosplayer becomes real life Emilia
While much of the show focuses on Subaru Natsuki, the protagonist becomes intertwined with the half-elf Emilia after meeting her in season 1. The white-haired character becomes the center of the story when she becomes a candidate for the 42nd king of Lugnica.
Bringing her to life, prolific cosplayer ‘mk_ays‘ shared a mind-blowing Re:Zero costume on Instagram. The artist perfectly captured the elf’s look, re-creating her striking purple eyes and flowing silver braided hair.
Ays also faithfully created Emilia’s signature outfit, which consists of a white dress with purple trimmings. She looks so much like the heroine, it’s almost as if she has used her magic to warp out of the television screen.
