Carbon Costume

Nobara Kugisaki (voiced by Asami Seto and Anne Yatco) is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro in the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.  Under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, Nobara is determined to stay true to herself and become a fearsome sorcerer.  Nobara has short ginger hair cut in a long bob and wears a navy blue school uniform paired with dark tights and loafers.  Nobara’s primary weaponry consists of a hammer with a heart on it and nails she imbues with cursed energy.  She sometimes requires the use of a straw doll to perform exorcisms.

Megumi Fushiguro (voiced by Yuma Uchida and Robbie Daymond) is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High training to become a sorcerer in the anime and manga series Jujutsu Kaisen.  Megumi is secretive and stoic, determined to protect those he thinks are good including Yuji Itadori.  Megumi wears a standard Jujutsu High uniform with dark socks and brown ankle boots.  If you don’t want to purchase a pre-made costume, you can pair a dark navy blue mandarin collar shirt with matching pants with a high enough hem to show of your boots instead.

Mei Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) is the main character in the Disney-Pixar film Turning Red.  Prior to her initial transformation into a red panda, Mei is outspoken and outgoing.  After her power activates, she has to learn to control her emotions in order to avoid transforming.  Mei’s dark hair turns red after she transforms into a red panda.  She wears a blue skirt over burgundy leggings with a pink collared shirt and red-orange sweater.  Mei is a big fan of all things late-90s/early-2000s including choker necklaces, boy bands, and her Tamagotchi virtual pet.

Vi (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) is the older sister of Jinx in the Arcane TV series.  Vi is a Zaunite vigilante who wields a pair of powerful gauntlets.  Vi’s costuming includes sturdy boots, striped trousers, and a red cropped jacket.  You can use an eyeliner pencil to add the “VI” tattoo on her left cheek.  Options exist for you to either purchase a cosplay costume set or create your own by mixing and matching different pieces, depending on your preference.  Finding a pair of replica gauntlets can get costly.  While there are also plans available for purchase if have access to a 3D printer, you can also achieve a similar (and more functional) look with a pair of metal gauntlets meant for medieval cosplay.  A little patience and rust-oleum paint can even add their distinctive blue color.

Eikichi Onizuka (voiced by Wataru Tagaki and Steve Blum) is the main character of Great Teacher Onizuka.  Eikichi was formerly a delinquent and the leader of the Onibaku bike gang, though he later aspires to teaching after a run-in with a pretty girl at a mall.  Eikichi wears many outfits throughout the series, though one of his most recognizable might be the white suit and red tie he wears to teach a troublesome high school class.

Mary Cooper (played by Zoe Perry) is the mother of Georgie, Sheldon, and Missy on the TV series Young Sheldon.  A young mother from East Texas, Mary is devout and no-nonsense, even as she sometimes struggles to understand her genius son.  Mary wears a variety of clothes throughout the series, and imitating her look is a great chance to dust off some vintage dresses or accessories you might have lying in the back of your closet.  Otherwise, focus on bold 80s prints with vintage-inspired silhouettes.  And of course, don’t forget to practice your southern drawl to really sell the part.

Chris Redfield (voiced by Jeff Schine) returns in Resident Evil Village, attempting to save Rosemary Winters from an evil bioweapon named Miranda.  This also puts him at odds with Ethan Winters throughout the game.  Chris’ look has been updated since his original introduction in the series.  Whether you decide to go for his more tactical or casual outfit, some of the pieces will remain the same, including the gloves, turtleneck, and boots.  For his more casual look, you’ll pair these with black jeans and a peacoat, while you’ll swap out for a pair of tactical pants and a low-profile chest rig if you decide you’d like to recreate his more military-inspired apparel.  Refill cartridges for an airsoft gun can help fill out the rig for a more complete look.

Roddy St. James (voiced by Hugh Jackman) is post rat who gets flushed down the toilet in the Dreamworks film Flushed Away.  Roddy teams up with Rita Malone to find his way home.  Roddy’s penthouse wardrobe consists of doll clothes.  At the start of his journey, he’s wearing a fancy tuxedo, though he eventually loses the jacket and bow tie.  To apply a rodent nose prosthetic, you’ll need spirit gum or liquid latex, but don’t forget to purchase remover as well to make the process of taking it off more comfortable.
