I’m a fan of good cosplay. Amateurish costumes don’t cut it for me, you’ve got to go all out. Follow in the footsteps of Jenni Källberg, Andrea Zampella, and whomever this Midna cosplayer is. Adding himself to that list is Ike Lawliet, packing his very own beam katana. Effort.

Posing as none other than No More Heroes‘ Travis Touchdown, Ike was able to make his own beam katana that spins and extends just like it does in a game. Oh, and it also uses a 5MW laser to project the light. Awesome enough? Unfortunately, the beam katana is now out of commission.

After I added the aesthetics, I accidentally got spraypaint on some wires, and my laser also burnt out, so it woks for only a few seconds while I’m cosplaying…

Yikes. You can check out a grainy video and pic of the katana before those aesthetics were added. Enjoy!
