One Piece cosplayer reels fans in with amazing Jinbe fish-man look Michelle_Maka, Instagram \/ FunimationJinbe or \u201cKnight of the Sea\u201d is the tenth member of Luffy\u2019s Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, and Michelle Maka, an anime content creator, has embodied him in a 10\/10 cosplay. Jinbe is a whale shark fish-man whose ultimate goal in life is to obtain peaceful coexistence between humans and his kind\u2014making Maka\u2019s cosplay choice not only aesthetically stunning, but socially topical as well. As an absurd character design, Jinbe has blue skin, red tattoos, and creme-colored, cloudlike eyebrows. He wears ornate Japanese kimonos, has two-toned black and webbed hands. Maka got it all right, even down to his infamous Buraikan (or Vagabond Drill) ability. Wrapped in the trademark orange kimono, accented with black and white symbols, Maka\u2019s cosplay is a flawless take on Jinbe. She is missing his enormous heft and tusk-like teeth, but those can be forgiven since the rest of the ensemble is so immaculate. Most impressively, given how cleanly covered in blue she is, Maka noted on Twitter that this was actually her first time doing body paint. I’ve received so much love for this cosplay. Thank you everyone \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99 #ONEPIECE\u8003\u5bdf pic.twitter.com\/YeeMRaqMEF \u2014 \ud83e\udd0e\ud835\udcdc\ud835\udcf2\ud835\udcec\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcee \ud835\udcf6\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcf4\ud835\udcea\ud83e\udd0e (@michelle_maka) June 5, 2020 Further, the look is sharp and detailed, with a red lightning strike through her eye\u2014portraying Jinbe\u2019s scar. But she somehow managed to edit in the fish-man\u2019s water-based Karate technique: the Vagabond Drill, which was popularly used in battles against infamous antagonists, Wadatsumi, and the Yonko Big Mom. In the spirit of true fan service, Maka also dropped the Whole Cake Island Arc Jinbe look: the same physical attributes, but with a beautiful yellow kimono accented by Jolly Roger pirate insignia while complemented by a red cape and green obi. Like many of One Piece\u2019s characters, recreating Jinbe in the real world is a tall task. A fictitious, fantastical character with eclectic design, Maka makes do with human constraints and fulfils his character perfectly, with a steely gaze and attention to detail that makes his large size and fangs entirely unnecessary. This is blowing up so I’ll drop Whole cake as well. Thank you again for the love \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc9b pic.twitter.com\/cono3l7355 \u2014 \ud83e\udd0e\ud835\udcdc\ud835\udcf2\ud835\udcec\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcee \ud835\udcf6\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcf4\ud835\udcea\ud83e\udd0e (@michelle_maka) June 5, 2020 There are no sideburns or goatee, either, but that\u2019s hardly noticeable when the rest of her getup feels so true to life. Purple lipstick in lieu of the fish-man\u2019s sharp teeth is a personal choice, but it fits cleanly and evokes a certain amphibiousness that is so critical to making this an unforced reimagination of a difficult-to-replicate character. Maka\u2019s Jinbe cosplay is as good a reminder as any that you don\u2019t need to recreate the minutiae of a character to embody them, you can put your own spin on a look as long as you lock in some core details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
