In this new cosplay lineup, two versions of Asuka Langley from Evangelion, Red Sonja, Rebecca from One Piece, Vi and Jinx from Arcane, and the captivating Spider-Gwen are ready to be explored right away.
Jinx and Vi from the Arcane animated series
Arcane stands as one of the most acclaimed video game adaptations. The writers based the plot on the lives of Jinx, Vi, and Caitlin, weaving a vivid adventure within a fantastical world. Unsurprisingly, these characters have become staples in the cosplay scene. Vi’s persona was brought to life by Kyano Inanna, while Jinx was portrayed by Anna Albedovna.
Vi has long been a favorite character for many cosplayers. The creator recalls wanting to portray her for a while. Deciding on a specific skin proved tricky, but Arcane’s portrayal crystallized the choice. The goal was to capture Vi’s combative spirit, stubborn resolve, and magnetic presence, while evoking Zaun’s atmosphere. The result seems to have succeeded.
