[Cosplay] Endless Sorrow -Mirage of Blaze-

May 17, 2009 at 12:27 pm (BL, cosplay(コスプレ), otaku word)

 There is no doubt―I am doing 腐教 to you guys with Mirage of Blaze[炎の蜃気楼] even though I don’t mean to do. If you have followed my blog since last year, you have seen how much I love this series. That is why I can’t stop cosplaying someone from this series, and this is going to be the third character I cosplay.

 He is the lead character, Naoe Nobutsuna[直江信綱]. He and another lead, Takaya are actually the reincarnated though Takaya remembers nothing about his past. Naoe tries to make him remember who he actually is, and realise they are wrapped up in an ancient war of darkness and tragedy which began during Japan’s chaotic Warring States period. In case you don’t know this anime, I shall upload the OP here.

 I think I tend to like a sad character like Suefumi in Maihitoyo who I cosplayed as well. Here is my favorite adjective in Japanese, 切ない[setsunai]. If you hear sad, you would translate it 悲しい[kanashii]. My dictionary also translates 切ない sad. But if you ask me, 切ない is a bit more complicated than 悲しい. It is like a feeling that is a mixture of not only sadness, but loneliness, pain, nostalgy, and love. See what I mean? So I dare to say Naoe is a very 切ない character because he is hopelessly in love with his master, Takaya. While he protects Takaya, he is suffered with his own feeling for him. Although he knows there is no point in this love, he can’t stop himself…Even he truly wants to end this never-changing-relationship as a master and a servant, but he can’t…He knows his beloved master never comes to him, but he even gets rid of his girlfriend. He even tries to die together with Takaya and end everything at the bottom of the lake…Ah, 切ない！ちょっとヤンデレ入ってるけど切ない！I really like Naoe. I cosplayed Takaya first, but I like him the most. He is almost the same age as me, oops, this is perhaps the first time that I cosplay someone who is the same age as me.  

 Mirage of Blaze is in general categorized as BL(yaoi). Maybe. But please know this is not such a meaningless story. If you have a chance, I recommend you give it a try.

Lord Kagetora…

Takaya-san…

Why are you hesitating to use your power? I won’t be nice to you anymore.

誰かを傷つけるのが、怖いんですか…？貴方は何も分かっていない…

If you stop to think about it, to have a life as a possessor is very similar to having a life of the mirage. We appear through connection with others. And its existance is uncertain, unstable, and easily wavered…

「煙草、吸うんだ…」「ええ、仕事中以外はね」

貴方と私は死んだ後も永遠に生き続けるのです。

何度換生を繰り返しても、俺と貴方は離れることは出来ないのです。

なぜなら…貴方を愛しているから…
