Thoughts on the Barely-There Costume: 'NIKKE' Elegg's Cosplay Was 'It was cold (lol).'

——What points did you want to express in this cosplay, and what do you like about it?

Akago: I put more effort into the details than before, and also improved the durability. Also, Elegg usually has his eyes hidden by his bangs, so it's not captured in the photos, but I did a solid eye makeup based on his burst moments.

There are many charming points about Elegg, but my favorite part is his belly, so even though it was cold, I made sure to expose it (laughs).

——As mentioned, the costume of Elegg seems quite challenging with the large belly and limited visibility. How was the experience on the day of the event?

Akago: It was cold (laughs). To comply with WF's cosplay regulations and to combat exposure while staying warm, I wore thick fake stockings and warm innerwear in areas that wouldn't be visible.

And yes, as you guessed, I could hardly see anything through my bangs (laughs). During the photo sessions, the photographers would verbally guide me with posing and such. For safety reasons while moving around, I parted my bangs to ensure I could see.

——Could you share any announcements about upcoming activities or cosplays you would like to try in the future?

Akago: I am planning to participate in the 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE' only event "Chishikan! It's Time for Joint Operations! 3" in early April, and in the summer "Comic Market 106" as a booth attendant for a friend's circle, where I will be showcasing Elegg. I am thinking of improving the wig and creating the gun!

As for characters I'd like to cosplay, there are many, but within NIKKE, I would love to cosplay my favorite, Moran, someday.

——Thank you very much!

Braving the cold, Akago perfectly recreated Elegg's charm points. With plans to make further improvements, the next event where she showcases her work is definitely something to watch out for.< Model / Respondent >
