Carbon Costume

Joshua (voiced in Japanese by Ryōhei Kimura, and in English by Aaron Spann [games]/Clifford Chapin [anime] is one of the main characters and also one of Neku’s biggest problems in the anime/game series The World Ends With You.

He is the second person that Neku partners with while in the Reaper’s Game, and can be rather insufferable to most of the people around him, though he gets along relatively well with Mr. Hanekoma.

Joshua has near shoulder length wavy ash blonde hair, and grey violet eyes. His usual outfit is a greyish purple collared button down short-sleeved shirt with white cuffs, that he wears untucked, and a pair of wide ankle grey pants. It’s finished off with white lace up shoes with dark grey soles.

Theodore Noise is a character from the 2D game Pizza Tower.  The Noise is a playable character in the game, and the rival of Peppino Spaghetti.  The noise wears a yellow suit and mask with a darker cape, and is reminiscent of The Noid from Domino’s Pizza’s 1980s ad campaign.  He also has a curled mustache and wears white gloves.  To create your look, start with a pale yellow bodysuit and a gold cape.  Add white cartoon character gloves, a chef’s hat, and an oversized mustache to finish your costume.  If you plan to take your look on the road, you may want to add a pair of yellow shoes.

Lightning (voiced by Tyrone Savage) is a character from Total Drama: Revenge of the Island and Total Drama All Stars.  Lightning is extremely competitive and self-centered, often showing off and even betraying an agreement with Cameron.  Lightning has a strong physique and wears a football jersey, cargo shorts, and light blue sneakers.  His accessories include a lightning bolt necklace and earrings.  To create your costume, use a large iron-on patch in the shape of “1” to transform a t-shirt into Lightning’s jersey.

Lucifer Morningstar (voiced by Jeremy Jordan) is the ruler of Hell and the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins in the web toon series Hazbin Hotel.  He is the father of Charlie and the estranged husband of Lilith.  Lucifer’s color palette consists of whtie and red.  To create his costume, you’ll need a white suit with tailcoat, a red and whtie striped waistcoat, black knee high boots, and a black bow tie.  Finish your costume with a blonde wig, red and white top hat, and a scepter.  Replica scepters for Lucifer with an apple on top can be expensive, but a scepter with a red jeweled top will evoke a similar effect.  To take your costume to the next level, use white face paint and then layer purple on your eyelids and pink on your cheeks.  You can also use red fabric paint to add pops of color to your tailcoat.

Mike (voiced by Cory Doran) is a character in the Total Drama series.  He appears in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island and Total Drama All Stars.  He is a member of the Mutant Maggots alongside Jo, Cameron, Brick, Anna Maria, and Zoey, his crush and future girlfriend. To recreate Mike’s look, you’ll need grey sneakers, blue jeans, and spiky black hair.  If you can’t find an exact match for Mike’s shirt, try layering a teal t-shirt over a pale yellow tee to achieve a similar look.

Emcee is a character from the current 2024 Broadway adaptation of Cabaret, and is played by Eddie Redmayne. Emcee is the sort of narrator in the story, and is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Club, set in 1930s Berlin.

To dress like Emcee, start with a cream or white crochet sleeveless top. Tuck this into maroon wide leg pants that you can cut off and hem if possible at the knee. Over this, wear a maroon waist belt to give it a more high-waisted look like the original costume. If the bow portion of both the pants and belt get in the way, cut off the excess on the pants and tuck the rest into the waist band. Cover the edge with the waist belt and tuck the ribbons into itself or under the belt to create a more flat look. At the neck, wear a maroon scarf tied into a bow. Pair with black elbow-black gloves, maroon lace-up boots, and a teal green/ blue party hat. For hair, you can use a temporary spray orange color.

Zeus is the main character in the new Netflix series KAOS and is played by Jeff Goldblum. KAOS is a modern dark comedy series that is inspired by the characters and stories of Greek mythology.

To dress like Zeus, wear a blue two-piece tracksuit, a white tee, and an off-white or pale yellow apron. Use fabric paints to create the similar striped pattern and wear aviator-style sunglasses. Another take on this look uses just the blue pants from the tracksuit set, the white tee, and then layer an orange patterned robe.

In GI Joe, Sgt. Slaughter was a drill instructor with the United States Marine Corps who was literally born on Parris Island. He’s the toughest, no-nonsense member of all the Joes. He’s inspired by the pro wrestler Robert Rudolph Remus who performed under the same name and voiced him in the 1980s Sunbow cartoon. Slaughter’s standard uniform was a black tank top, camo pants, mirrored sunglasses, and a big bushy mustache.
