Anime enthusiasts all throughout the world hold The Rising of the Shield Hero in the highest regard. Raphtalia and Katana Hero are two of the most well-known examples of fan-made costumes. One of the series’ main pulls is the relationship between the protagonist and the young girl he rescues, Raphtalia, who becomes his close companion and for whom the expert swordsman, Katana Hero, acts as one of her guards.
A big part of what makes this show so interesting is the dynamic they have together. Raphtalia cosplays tend to be elaborate affairs, with lots of layers and props, while Katana Hero cosplays tend to be more pared down but no less amazing in terms of fashion. Raphtalia and Katana Hero are guaranteed to leave an impact on any viewer, whether they are devoted fans or are just searching for something different to dress up as for Halloween.
