Character: TeĆ” Gardner / Anzu Masaki
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
Outfit: Battle City / Virtual Reality arcs
I’ll be the first to admit that I did not like TeĆ” in the 4kids dub. Then I read the manga and immediately fell for Anzu Masaki, the best friend who always wants you to succeed and isn’t afraid to verbally stomp Kaiba into the ground.
I debated on what outfit to cosplay and got really lucky at a thrift store one day, finding a spandex sleeveless shirt in bright 90s anime green. I modified this outfit very little, only swapping the collar to a yellow one. I’ve cosplayed this outfit for a few years now, and I change the wig, belt, and bracelets depending on what I find in my closet at the time. This is easily my most worn thrifted cosplay.
I also added an actual Duel Disk. I bought this on clearance back in the early 2000s when Walmart was desperately trying to get rid of these toys that just weren’t really popular.
Items I used:
- Green sleeveless shirt with modified collar
- Budget wig
- Random bracelets, either thrifted or from Walmart
- Belt I have
- Thrifted jean shorts with the cuffs rolled up
- Socks and sandals I own
