A cosplayer recently grabbed attention by boldly challenging critics who said her Chainsaw Man Reze cosplay showed “too much skin.” Her reaction surprised and excited the online community.
Known as Kibunya, the cosplayer reactivated a long-dormant social media account and quickly made waves with a photo of herself as Reze. The cosplay was strikingly daring, featuring her in revealing lingerie.
After sharing the photo online, Kibunya’s Reze cosplay quickly went viral and earned widespread praise for its creativity and attention to detail. Notably, she cleverly edited the image to include Reze’s Bomb Devil transformation reflected in a shadow behind her, a subtle and impressive touch that showed deep understanding of the character.
However, not all feedback was positive. Kibunya faced heavy criticism from some viewers who felt the cosplay was overly sexualized, focusing too much on lingerie and revealing too much skin.
So how did Kibunya respond to the backlash? Instead of backing down or apologizing, she made a bold and straightforward statement that left her critics speechless.
She said, “I’ve been criticized from all sides for showing too much personality through lingerie, so next time I’ll shoot Reze wearing white panties and a garter belt as imagined by Denji.”
Kibunya showed no signs of retreat and even promised to “go further” next time. She declared she would faithfully recreate the scene from the manga where Denji imagines Reze as the Bomb Devil wearing provocative white lingerie and a garter belt.
This is seen as a clever and defiant response to her critics. Kibunya implied that if she is going to cosplay a character and embrace the sensuality true to the original or her personal style, negative opinions won’t stop her from expressing her creativity.
