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.

The anime opens with Ryuko enrolling at Honnoji Academy after her father is assassinated. The determined protagonist is looking for the killer who has the other half of her red scissor blade, but is challenged by the school’s president Satsuki Kiryuin.
Cosplayer ‘ellsnyx‘ transformed into Matoi, and stunned with her faithful portrayal. Photographer ‘molkerphoto‘ captured the artist wielding her gigantic prop weapon over her shoulder, as she poses in her blue and red academy uniform.
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.
