Kill la Kill cosplayer slashes through Life Fibers as Ryuko Matoi

Kill la Kill made its explosive debut in 2013, and was a massive hit for Studio Trigger. Viewers connected with the show’s ridiculous story about living clothes and its incredible over-the-top action sequences.

A talented cosplayer shared her true-to-life take on the series’ lead character, Ryuko Matoi. The artist looks so much like the heroine, it’s almost as if the protagonist has shredded her way out of the screen with her scissor blade.

Ells costume was made by ‘monchichitanuki‘ who meticulously re-created Ryuko’s outfit named Senketsu. In the show, the the uniform is alive, which the cosplay depicts with a red and yellow eye which peeks out from beneath her collar.

In another shot taken by ‘tachiiphotography‘, the artist shows off her incredible scissor sword replica made by ‘gsprops.’ Mirroring a poster from the anime, Ells truly becomes the real life Ryuko Matoi in what is easily one of the best takes on the character we have ever seen.
