The only cosplay allowed in Disneyworld is of a pretty pretty princess.
So remember this post? Well I have a little addition I’d like to talk about briefly. As you all know we were in Disneyworld, Florida this past week. One of the days of course we went to Epcot Center, and what day in Epcot Center is complete without a visit to all the various “countries” there. So let me jump to the point: Japan “land” consists of 3 restaurants (2 are in 1 building) and 1 fairly large gift shop. That’s it. Now that you are aware of this fact I would like to know why some fucking idiot weeaboo dresses up as Vash the Stampede just to cosplay in a fucking gift shop in DISNEYWORLD.
Yes that’s right, some idiot weeaboo was dressed up in big ol bright red coat walking through the GIFT SHOP in DISNEYWORLD. Since there is no actual public bathroom in Japan land @ Epcot, this mean that he either walked the ENTIRE DAY in a BIG RED SUIT in DISNEYWORLD to get to a GIFT SHOP or he changed in a bathroom at Morocco to make sure he can cosplay VASH THE STAMPEDE in a JAPANESE SOUVENIER SHOP.
I wasn’t sure if he was there with anyone and I couldn’t get a good look at him since we were in a crowded GIFT SHOP to tell if he was some stupid teenager. But let’s analyze the situation. He is cosplaying a character from TRIGUN which came out a fairly long time ago. This means that he would have had to be a somewhat seasoned anime fan who knows what cosplay is and knows how cosplay works, and that he knows about an anime character that at this point in a time a lot of people probably don’t. I mean I know back in the day at anime cons we’d have like 300 Vash the Stampedes but nowdays you’ll be lucky if you find more than 2. So this moron who should be well aware where and when to cosplay, walks into a gift shop that is run by Japanese people, with the complete ignorance to the fact that they are all laughing their asses off at him behind his back.
In addition it was at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit MINIMUM every day that we went to a park so this doofus is walking around frying like a BBQ chicken just so he can make an ass of himself at a fucking GIFT SHOP. What’s wrong son? Is Anime Expo and Otakon not enough for you? Or is there no local Kinokuniya for you to come into cosplay to? Or do you want to attract the attention of the Japanese people who will think you are “cool” for walking into their gift shop looking like a fucking idiot?
Next time, stick to wearing the stupid mouse ears.
LOVE & PEACE! 
This is kinda funny, because I just rewatched a few episodes of Trigun. I really ought to rewatch the whole series one of these days.
I’m actually not surprised by this at all. When I was in Junior High there was a kid who wore a Vash the Stampede coat to school every day. -_-;
Though at least then the anime was somewhat popular in the school and the kid was like 13. But I was 13 and it freaked me out so I wouldn’t say age is an excuse.
That’s actually probably the single worst cosplaying story i’ve heard. I can think of no potentially more ignorant place to cosplay at. He probably just does it any time he goes to a place with a large concentration of people. But hilarious that you ran into this douchebag there.
I doubt the Japanese people would have even known who he was. They probably suspected that he was just a weirdo. Disney World is always full of weirdos, so the workers are probably accustomed to seeing and dealing with such people.
ROFL I would loved to c that xD U buyed mouse ears??!! yeah that’s why u go to disney! if u go and don’t buy a pair u didn’t go xD
actually we never bought mouse ears, mainly because most souveniers at disneyworld (and all other theme parks) are a complete ripoff and I didn’t want to buy anything that I’d probably never use/wear again.
So there are still people who remembers Trigun? I see.
haaha i went there last year, and man, didn’t get to see anything like that plus japan is like in the middle right? so he had to walk all the way around just to get there. Really liked the place though.
Makes me think of Ye Olde Days when the Star Treck convention was in town. I was in a shopping center 30 miles away when the bridge crew of the USS Buttugly Teenager walked through in full costume and makeup.
I remember that several friends (US & Japanese) who came to a French con told me that they were surprised by all the people who are already cosplayed in public transports and especially those who weren’t in the direct transport line to the conv.
And of course they’re often interviewed by TV people so they can show one of the worst part of the anime fandom.
The worst I saw was during a random week-day when I was eating in the Japanese district of Paris (also filled with pseudo-Japanese restaurants owned by Chinese/Vietnamese people. Had a great laugh when I heard all the waiters speaking in Mandarin in one of them, no wonder I left) and I saw several people coming in, nothing really particular except for this one girl who was dressed as a catgirl with light blue fur and it wasn’t even a con day (though that’s no excuse for hanging out in the city in cosplay). No wonder that she was the center of attention and that the Japanese waiters didn’t seem very pleased to have her here.
Guess that some people just don’t know what decency is.
I can think of some other examples like those girls who start the Hare Hare Yukai music and executed the dance in the subway train out of the blue on a normal day or those guys who were cosplaying on a normal week-end in a public park and getting interviewed, I wished I never heard what they said (or maybe I should just have barged in).
I don’t really know if I have bad luck concerning this but I also hear same stories from other friends :/
this is why I don’t cosplay….
but seriously wtf? Does this guy just have this Vash outfit on standby on the chance that he may end up in a place that might remotely be Japanese influenced? My head hurts -_-
Sure he wasn’t just some random pedo flasher in a big red coat?
I can’t think of anything more idiotic.. in 80+ degree weather and wearing a heavy coat as that… why?
Here in the Philippines it’s summer where it hits 90 degrees and upwards, not counting the humidity. I can’t imagine how people cosplay here, but they do in large hordes.
Their dedication to Bleach is to be commended I guess?
Two words:
Nekomimi Musume!
Feena from cabbage love is permitted then? And by that definition, Chocola-nyo.
A scary though crossed my mind……
Can Sister Princest be included. -shudders-
I know! Let’s all go to Disney World dressed up as crippled, blind royalty in wheel chairs.
But yeah, hey, look on the bright side. The guy probably could’ve chosen weirder cosplays…
You think it would just be common sense not to cosplay at Disney World. LOL.
You could use those ears and dress up as the slutty Mizune version. >:D
Well, it’s a sad fact of life that there will always be idiots. Furthermore, there’s no way to maintain awesome stuff without the occasional idiot stumbling across it and realizing it’s good as well. It’s a problem that long predates anime.
Sorry to hear that you had to run across this noob on your honeymoon, though.
@nyoronyolo
If someone did that on the NYC subway, people would just think that they’re either performance artists or buskers.
@ToastCrust
Shhhh, don’t tell the lolis that that’s what being a princess is really like!
In the end it up to them if they want to cosplay. if they wanna cosplay then let them. even if it’s not a con day they can still cosplay if they want. I don’t remeber there being a rule saying “you can ONLY cosplay at con events no where esle”. gesh people are so damn hash to other fans.
I remember seeing a girl once at a very small Japanese “festival”, where you could just eat very small portions of different foods like okonomiyaki, etc, for free, cosplaying Edward Elric. I was laughing in my head the whole time… And yes she was the only cosplayer, if you don’t include all the people running around in yukata (such as myself).
It can’t compare to this guy though. If not just because it’s in FLORIDA which is FKING HOT. Especially right now. I hate it. A lot.
I saw some people walking around in cosplay one time. Well twice, the exact same group. First they were gathering at the train station (no idea why…), and then the week after we were near China Town and they were just wandering around hanging out…in cosplay. I have no idea what they were doing. It was surreal, and also funny because everyone else was wrapped up in scarves and coats (it was like minus 1) whilst they were in these scimpy cosplay outfits.
You know what’s funny about all of this too is that in Japan you aren’t even allowed to cosplay outside of the convention and you can ONLY cosplay in a designated area
Looking at the bright side, you gotta give the weeabo some credit. As I remember correctly, Trigun’s setting was in a very hot and humid place. ^_^
Still, when it comes to amusement parks there should be a sign like this:
YOU MUST BE THIS MUCH MUCH LESS OF A WEEABO TO RIDE! VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT!
Trigun was set on a planet that was a desert … hot, yes but humid? no.
@Drakron: ‘xcuse me for using improper diction >.< lol.
lol i saw the rss. somehow i kinda expected that -_-
but lol. disney vash @_@
maybe he is into some weird ‘im gonna lose weight’ project @_@
Too bad you didn’t take his picture
shalala: The problem wasn’t that he was cosplaying, but more of the where and why. It’s definitely attention grabbing, but not in a good way.
I read this post this morning and it gave me a good laugh a few hours before I needed to head to school.
Then in the subway station heading home from school, I see two girls, one of them in Akatsuki cosplay, with the headband and the robe.
I go to NYU, so I don’t think there were any anime-related events around that area or any of that sort in the city today. We got on the same train and the girl was still in cosplay on the train. They got off two stations later, while I was still sort of baffled (at the cosplaying girl and that this happened the same day I read this post, lol).
Maybe she wanted to grab some ramen in her Naruto garb?
You know, I spent 2 years at NYU and I don’t ever remember seeing anyone do that.
Or maybe she was headed to Kinokuniya to act like an ass in a similar fashion. Also lol I live in NYC as well and it rained ALL DAY today so I hope she enjoys ruining her costume
didn’t like trigun, but I want the coat.
same with auron and final fantasy X. Just the coat.
Hurrah for crombie 3/4 coat!
I would’ve smacked that guy there and then.
Haha, cosplay at Disney land in a gift shop…
Reminds me of the highschoolers who went to the Bon festival here dressed in cat ears and tails, and had a friend in a cheap polyester bathrobe and chintzy chinatown souvenier umbrella. I thought it was disrespectful to the event.
I only have the ears because they were handing them out free for their “Year of a Million Dreams” celebration, so yeah… (and ironicly, I got them at Epoct xD)
But wow, for real? Like, your serious? Someone was actually that retarded to do something like that? I just…wow, just wow.
IMO, it would have been better if he had worn Mickey Mouse ears with his costume. Then it could have been “Vash loves Disneyworld!” and be, however slightly, less idiotic.
