You can’t blink without a new up-and-comer entering the cosplay scene. On our radar this week is a Russian cosplayer who took onÂPersona 5Âbest girl (fight me), Futaba Sakura. In fact, her photoshoot is so spot on, its inspired me to jump back into the arguably best game on PS4.Russian cosplayer Tsuramari broke out the picture on theÂPersona 5Âsubreddit earlier today to show it off:
my recent Futaba cosplay! :3cfromr/Persona5
As you would imagine, the dedicated community went wild with plenty of “hoo boy” going around:
More importantly, Tsuramari seems to actively dedicate a ton of cosplay to theÂPersona 5Âcommunuty. Whileher Twitter account is just taking offwith less than 50 followers there are plenty of great shots between her (as Futaba) and protagonist Akira:
Heck, she is even doing our dearly departed PlayStation Vita a service by throwing it into the photo series:
Or, you can catch out the rest of the Phantom Thieves, alongside someÂPersona 5Âstylistic editing to make the composure pop:
Now if (like me) this is making you want to jump back into the game, good fortune may smile upon you soon. DualShockers is hoping (read “expecting”) an announcement on themysteriousÂPersona 5 RÂto come on March 23, accompanying the Starts and Ours anime special. We were able to accurately predict thetitle’s announcement teaserlast time after anonslaught of leaks from developer Atlus.
Of course, you don’t need to hold your breath for the game to start enjoying it and its passionate community. Outside of cosplay, the recurring fanbase are taking part in a load of cool projects – whether it be creating aGame Boy Advanced era version of the game, amust-have board game, or splicing togetherÂPersona 5andÂSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseina cool combination art project.
If you somehow haven’t picked up your copy ofPersona 5Âyet, you can support Atlus and the franchise bypicking up the game on Amazon. Meanwhile, go ahead and give Tsuramari a follow, both on herdedicated cosplay Twitter accountandInstagram – especially if you want to catch other Futaba photoshoots.
