Carbon Costume

Kars is a primary antagonist in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency. He is one of the Pillar Men, four immortal  beings who designed the Stone Mask (which turned Dio into a vampire). Joseph Joestar and Caesar Zeppeli must defeat them using Hamon. Kars seeks the Red Stone of Aja, which will grant him the ability to endure sunlight and reach his ultimate form. Aside from his superior strength and speed, he wields razor sharp blades from his gauntlets. A notable Kars moment is when he uses Lisa Lisa’s leg as a guitar.

Shalnark (voiced in Japanese by Noriko Hidaka and in English by Griffin Burns) is one of the members of the main group of antagonists of the York New arc of the Hunter x Hunter series.

He is one of the initial founding members of the Phantom Troupe, having known Chrollo since they were both very young, with the majority of the members all growing up together in Meteor City. Shalnark’s nen specialty is Manipulation, and he uses a modified cell phone in order to control people like puppets, which also extends to himself, using his autopilot mode to turn him into an extremely powerful fighting force.

His color palette is significantly different in the 1999 adaptation, but in the 2011 version of the anime, he has a much lighter pastel appearance. His hair is a short cut blonde with a slight green wash to it, and his eyes are a mid-toned green. He wears a matching two-piece outfit, with the sleeveless top a light lavender color, with a black under layer, and different shades of teal as the cuffs and waistband, with small white details. The pants are the same lavender shade, and are cuffed just above the ankles, revealing slip on shoes that match the teal detailing on the top.

I have previously covered the disguise that Chrollo wears in the York New arc in another article, so this one will be focusing more on one of his more regularly worn outfits.

While the other look was meant to help him blend in during the auction and get on Neon Nostrade’s good side in order to manipulate her into giving him the fortune readings he was looking for, this is how he is more commonly seen while interacting with the rest of the Troupe members.

He wears the same teal bulb earrings as in his disguise, but in this outfit he wears his hair slicked back, revealing the tattoo on his forehead. His undershirt is black with a intricately detailed crisscrossing pattern, with a similar ribbon-crossed pattern on his matching pants, and a light tan belt worn off-center across the top of the pants. The main feature part of his outfit is a long black coat with an extremely over-exaggerated fluffy white trim around the collar, as well as the cuffs, and there is a large St. Peter’s cross embellished on the back. The shoes he wears with this outfit are black with large decorate gold pieces that match the ones worn on the shoulder regions of his coat.

Karamatsu (voiced in Japanese by Yuichi Nakamura and in English by Ray Chase) is from the anime Osomatsu-san, the newest iteration in the Osomatsu series.

He is the second oldest brother in the Matsuno family, just under Osomatsu (the titular character) and is an absolute menace to those around him, as he likes to portray himself as an excessively flamboyant person, with the good majority of his clothes having some form of flashy element to them, such as sequins.

Karamatsu has the same hair color as his brothers, in the same dark brownish-black short cut, and dark eyes. His hoodie is like the other’s, with his being a mid-toned blue, with the same green pine tree emblem on the front, and he wears a pair of light jeans with slip on shoes in almost the same color. For his main accessory, he is often seen wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Todomatsu (voiced in Japanese by Miyu Irino and in English by Max Mittelman) is from the anime Osomatsu-San, the newest iteration in the Osomatsu series.

He’s the youngest out of the Matsuno sextuplets, and the only one of them that seems consistently motivated to actually make something of himself. Totty is very fashion and socially forward, and tends to be more outgoing, while also being a bit of a brat.

He has the same blackish brown hair and eyes like his brothers, with two little strands of hair sticking out at the top. He wears the same type of hoodie with the tree patterned emblem on the front, with his being a pink variation. He also wears midtoned blue jeans, worn cuffed up to expose his ankles, and pinkish-purple slip on shoes. Totty also sometimes wears a light brown beanie, and is often seen carrying a white-cased phone.

Toji Fushiguro is a character in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is also known as the infamous assassin, the Sorcerer Killer. He is Megiumi’s father and a former enemy of Satoru Gojo. A former member of the Zenin family, he has zero cursed energy and cannot be detected by Jujutsu sorcerers. Instead, Toji exhibits a mastery over various weapons, which he stores in the curse around his shoulders.

Machi (voiced in Japanese by Rena Maeda and in English by Abby Trott [in the 2011 series]) is part of the main group of antagonists in the Hunter x Hunter anime/manga.

She is member number 3 in the Phantom Troupe run by Chrollo Lucilfer, as well as one of his longest running friendships, having known each other since they were both very young. Her nen speciality is Transmutation and she fights using sewing techniques.

Machi has deep pink hair, worn up in a very messy high ponytail and tied off with a light blue scrunchie, which nearly matches the color of her eyes. Her outfit consists of a white and grey short-sleeved kimino-type top, with a long ribboned deep reddish-purple obi, and a yellow ribbon tied around the center. She wears black, mid-thigh shorts, pinkish-purple leg warmers over top of white tabi socks, and the rest of the outfit is finished off with black, fingerless gloves, and a light yellow pin cushion worn around her wrist.

Shiki Granbell (voiced by Takuma Terashima and Sean Chiplock) is the protagonist of the manga and anime series Edens Zero.  Shiki comes from the planet Granbell where he lives amongst robots.  He can manipulate gravity.  Shiki has spiky black hair and dons a bandage on his face.  His outfit consists of black boots, green pants, and a white shirt with burgundy striping on the front. He also wears a jacket with the sleeves rolled up.  You can purchase a cosplay set for the costume and then add a wig, boots, and face bandage.  You can also build your own costume with harem pants, a bomber jacket, and a white t-shirt embellished with burgundy paint.
