At the annual World Cosplay Summit in Japan, 77 cosplayers competed against each other this year. The winners were monstrous outfits from Monster Hunter World.
What happened at the World Cosplay Summit? Since 2003, the World Cosplay Summit has existed as a friendly international competition around Japanese pop culture.
In 2019, 77 teams from a total of 40 countries competed against each other and demonstrated their sewing and crafting talents on the stages in Tokyo and Nagoya.
A total of 8 teams made it to the finals, and the cosplays from Monster Hunter World were crowned winners.
Which armor won? The first prize was awarded to the two cosplayers from Australia. Their glowing Monster Hunter armors overshadowed the competition.
This is the special Azurstern armor, whose quest was only available in Japan for a long time. Monster Hunter has always been known for its elaborate and complex armors that even professional cosplayers find challenging to create.
On their social media accounts, the cosplayers Wirru and K Cosplay thanked for the many kind words and reiterated that creating such cosplays involves many months of hard work.
