[Asuma Toki cosplay] Blue Archive Pulled Toki in 70 pulls, so doing a V-sign

I finally pulled Asuma Toki in 70 pulls! The moment I saw the gacha banner, I was so excited I almost jumped out of my chair, and I immediately booked a shoot for this cheerleader uniform I've been dreaming of. Because I was so happy, my state during this shoot was exceptionally good, so let's do a V-sign!

After getting my hands on this outfit, it was truly even more exquisite than I imagined. The overall blue and white color scheme is very refreshing, and the halter neck crop top design is both lively and athletic. The blue geometric color blocks and gray-white paw print patterns on the clothes, including the English letters on the collar straps, perfectly restore the details of the original design. Especially the metal round buckle on the collar; its texture is great and it doesn't look cheap at all. The white pleated skirt paired on the lower body features blue stripe patching, and I love the arc of the skirt hem when walking. Since I didn't want to ruin the overall refreshing atmosphere, I didn't choose complicated accessories, but instead wore long white gloves along with a pair of blue-and-white platform sneakers, making the whole person look full of youthful vitality.

In terms of props, the floating halo on top of the head was specially customized, with an outer dark blue ring and an inner light blue ring, fixed with a transparent acrylic bracket, looking very futuristic under the lighting. There are also the two yellow-and-white cheerleader pom-poms in my hand; although they are made of plastic, they feel very full in the hand, and any pose makes for a great photo.

To be able to present such great results this time, I really want to specially thank Hayase Yuuka for unconditionally affirming and doing my makeup! The base makeup is extremely smooth, and the focus is on the eye makeup part. To match the light golden wig and bright blue contact lenses, detailed adjustments were made to the eyeshadow and eyeliner, which not only made the eyes look bigger, but also retained a cool yet focused gaze. The bangs and sideburns on both sides were also trimmed to fit the facial shape extremely well.

During the shoot, because the outfit is crop-top style, I needed to keep my posture upright all the time with my core tightened to showcase the best lines. The photographer had me try several different poses, such as kneeling on one knee with arms open holding the pom-poms—this action heavily tests body balance and the display of leg lines; and sitting on a white cube with the pom-poms placed on my thighs—this posture is relatively relaxed and showcases the details of the pleated skirt very well. The entire shooting process went very smoothly, and the studio lighting made the blue-and-white tones look exceptionally clean.

Cosplaying Asuma Toki this time wasn't just because I pulled the character, but even more because I deeply love that unique aura she has. Every single step—from costume and props to makeup—was done with great care. Looking at myself in the finished photos holding the pom-poms and making a V-sign, it felt like my previous efforts and the good luck of this gacha pull were perfectly materialized. The shooting experience this time was fantastic, and I hope to record this happiness.
