Making Weapons is "The Best Hobby (lol)" - Strikingly Dignified 'NIKKE' Rapi: Red Hood Cosplay

——What points did you aim to express, or put effort into in this cosplay?

Chin: I wanted to express the splendid appearance of the powered-up Rapi using poses based on in-game motions. The costume is adjusted to fit my body shape. I customized parts like the waist belt, adding some self-made components to enhance the three-dimensional feel.

I self-made the exclusive weapon “Seventh Dwarf Zero” using cosboards and PVC pipes. Creating a weapon for cosplaying a beloved character – this is currently my best hobby (lol).

——Last time you showcased a regular Rapi cosplay, but this time with "Red Hood," did you focus on any different or common points?

Chin: Yes, the refined personality of "Counters' Rapi," which comes from a complex storyline, combined with the passionate and wild elements of "Goddess's Red Hood," creates a uniquely charming figure. I aimed to showcase various expressions through photos.

——Do you have any cosplays you’d like to try in the future?

Chin: 'NIKKE' has many favorite characters I want to challenge, so I plan to prepare for them in the future! I also love the 'NieR' series and am planning various shoots.

——Thank you very much!

This was the third interview with Chin, who consistently portrays the brisk and dignified image of a "fighting woman," increasing the anticipation for future cosplays.
