AMAZING BLEACH COSPLAYS!!
16. Lisa Yadomaru
Cosplayer: darkdiety
What we have right here is Lisa Yadomaru, one of the members of Visored introduced in the series. In the anime, Lisa wears a high-school uniform even though she doesn’t even go to school at all. This cosplay of darkdiety is also the exact look of Lisa from the series. She even wears the red glasses, the stern expression, and even the braided ponytail.
Lisa is the former 8th Division Lieutenant under Shunsui Kyoraku’s Division. After she starts to get her first Hollowfication, she and the other Soul Reapers who got Hollowfied are arrested due to having Hollow traits. This led them to be sentenced for an execution but was then rescued by Yoruichi Shihoin and led them to a secret area.
15. Yoruichi Shihoin
Cosplayer: the-mirror-melts
Yoruichi Shihoin is known for her flexibility and slenderness. She is also an expert in close-combat by using her fast kicks. As for the cosplay of the-mirror-melts, she truly emphasized these characteristics of Yoruichi with her striking pose. Her outfit also matches the combat gear that Yoruichi wears after she retired from Soul Society.
Before her retirement, Yoruichi was the 2nd Division Captain of the Gotei 13 before Sui Feng took the reins. She may seem like a minor character in the beginning, but she had a great role during the past such as mentoring Sui Feng who is now a Captain, and saving the Hollowfied Soul Reapers that are now called as the Visored.
14. Nelliel tu Odelschwanck
Cosplayer: dovananh
Nelliel or also known as Nel is an Arrancar from Bleach and has become one of Ichigo’s allies when he and his friends were inside Hueco Mundo. Initially, she appears as a small kid who clings to Ichigo all the time, but when she uses her full power, she becomes a full-grown woman. Just like what you see in dovannah’s cosplay, this is an accurate representation of Nel’s adult form.
From the looks of it, donnavah has nailed everything when it comes to imitating Nel’s appearance. From the tattered clothing, the hair color, and to the skull above her head. Everything is accurate to the anime and manga version!
13. Grimmjow
Cosplayer: Jaegerjaquez
Grimmjow was one of Ichigo’s enemies during the Hueco Mundo Arc and has posed a great threat to him because of Grimmjow’s immense strength. Ichigo even had to use his Hollow powers and that only lengthened their fight even more. Grimmjow is also the 6th Espada in Aizen Sosuke’s Arrancar army.
Jaegerjaquez’s Grimmjow is another incredibly made cosplay. They even made a special background for a more impactful effect! His version is also accurate to what you see in the anime. The posture, the sword, and the skull on his face are all on-point.
The only thing that is quite different here is the hole on his abs. Grimmjow’s have a circular one, but Jaegerjaquez’s version is more pointy. But overall, it’s a minor issue and doesn’t take away the amazing Grimmjow representation.
12. Rangiku Matsumoto
Cosplayer: AndyWana
Rangiku Matsumoto is the 10th Division Lieutenant in Soul Society under Captain Hitsugaya’s rein. You may know her for her orange hair and body that serves as fanservice to both characters in the series and anime fans… specifically Bleach fans. AndyWana’s cosplay has got all of Rangiku’s attributes on-point and depicted her character very well.
Even though she got the look of Rangiku right, the only downside is her Zanpakuto since Rangiku’s has a guard similar to a cat’s head. However, in AndyWana’s version, hers doesn’t seem to even have a guard. But overall, it’s a minor issue since she still got everything correct in Rangiku’s outfit such as the shihakusho and the pink sash she wears all the time!
11. Riruka Dokugamine
Cosplayer: OrihimeSchiffer
Riruka Dokugamine is one of the Fullbringers introduced during the Xcution Arc. What you see in OrihimeSchiffer’s Riruka is a spitting image of what you see in the anime. Her outfit and hair color closely matches to the original source.
As a Fullbringer, she has a unique ability called Dollhouse and it allows her to move different objects in and out of anything she wants.
10. Sui Feng
Cosplayer: lonewolf__98
This cosplay of lonewolf_98 may just be the most perfectly made cosplay of Sui Feng not just because of the similarity of their faces, but also due to the fact that they both have the same height and weight! It’s like this cosplayer is born to be Sui Feng the whole time! Her outfit here is also extremely accurate to Sui Feng’s combat gear when she removes her Soul Reaper uniform.
If you don’t know Sui Feng, she’s the captain of the 2nd Division in the Gotei 13. She may be small, but her intimidating attitude and seriousness will leave you trembling. Among the captains of Soul Society, Sui Feng is one you can consider as the jack of all trades since she does not only rely on using her Zanpakuto and has mastered different skills like Shunpo which is basically creating speed clones. She was also taught several skills under her master and former captain, Yoruichi Shihoin.
9. Hitsugaya Toshiro
Cosplayer: kiiroi27
The 10th Division Captain of the Gotei 13 is none other than Hitsugaya Toshiro. He’s got one of the best looking Bankai ever seen and it’s called the Daiguren Hyourinmaru. Though we may have not seen that in kiiroi27’s cosplay, it is still and impressive depiction of the 10th Division Captain.
He’s got Hitsugaya’s cool hairstyle on-point along with the blue eyes and blue scarf that goes around his neck. There is also the amazing background editing that is covered in snow due to Hitsugaya’s Zanpakuto specializing in ice attributes.

8. Aizen Sousuke
Cosplayer: Numasan0704
Aizen Sousuke is the main antagonist in the Bleach series and is definitely the most intellectual Soul Reaper you’ll ever find. Numasan0704’s Aizen cosplay is an excellent depiction of what he is in the anime. As Aizen leads the Arrancar Army in Huenco Mundo, he now wears the Arrancar outfit on top of his shihakusho indicating that he’s a Shinigami. He also removed his glasses and changed his hairstyle giving him a more villainy look. Numasan0704 even managed to make his face to look more like him and it’s like looking at Aizen in real life!
During Aizen’s time as a Soul Reaper in Soul Society, he was once the Captain of the 5th Division and is treated by everyone with utmost respect. On the outside, Aizen shows every positive aspect that a Captain should have but sadly, he has his ulterior motives and led him to betraying Soul Society along with Gin and Kaname.
7. Gin Ichimaru
Cosplayer: sora_neru217
Gin Ichimaru is the former captain of the 3rd Division and has betrayed Soul Society along with Aizen, and Kaname Tosen to join the Arrancar Army in Hueco Mundo. The one thing that’s most difficult to cosplay when it comes Gin Ichimaru’s appearance is his eyes. In the series, Gin is always shown with his eyes closed in most of his scenes. What makes it hard is that his closed eyes is quite shaped differently and is more similar to the eyes of a cat.
Simply closing your eyes in a Gin cosplay definitely won’t cut it since it will look kind of awkward. But sora_neru217 has managed to do it perfectly even the smile! I don’t exactly know how he did it, but this final look of him is just perfect to look at. His cosplay is also like the spitting image of Gin in real life!
6. Ulquiorra Cifer
Cosplayer: LALAax
Now this is a creepy-looking Ulquiorra cosplay if you ask me, but also quite accurate to the source material. This form of Ulqiorra is based on his second Resureccion called Segunda Etapa or also known as Second Stage. This is Ulquiorra’s strongest and final form in the anime when he fought against Ichigo. Ulquiorra is also called as the 4th Espada in the Arrancar Army indicating that he’s the 4th strongest of them all.
LALAax’s version of Ulquiorra is a well-made and incredibly edited cosplay. Despite Ulquiorra having a demonic look that is hard to imitate, they still managed to perfectly emphasize everything like the fur on his arms and legs, the hole on his body with black liquid dripping on it, and his horrifying yellow eyes.
5. Kuchiki Byakuya
Cosplayer: Lena Lewin
Kuchiki Byakuya is known for having one of the most gorgeous Shikai and Bankai form among all the Soul Reapers of Soul Society. His Shikai called Senbonzakura is a skill where his sword turns into cherry blossom petals and each petal is equivalent to a blade that can wound the enemy. His Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, is even more than that where he drops his Zanpakuto vertically and creates a thousand swords that all turn into petals, hence the name Senbonzakura which means A Thousand Cherry Blossoms.
Here you can see Lena Lewin’s impressive Kuchiki Byakuya cosplay. He’s got the posture, and that cool editing on his Zanpakuto when Byakuya activates his Shikai form. Despite not wearing Byakuya’s haori, he still got everything accurately such as his hair accessories, scarf, and the unique sword guard of the Zanpakuto.
4. Abarai Renji
Cosplayer: Firiat_Cat
One of the first Soul Reapers introduced in the series is Abarai Renji. He also once became Ichigo’s rival before they became allies to save Rukia. Firiat_Cat has made an incredible cosplay of Renji and followed it up with amazing editing of his Shikai, Zabimaru. Though the red hair may be a bit bright compared to his hair color in the anime, it is still the exact same hairstyle.
Firiat_Cat never fell short on the details too like the tattoos in his forehead and chest even though they’re not shown all the time. There is also the smug expression that Renji always shows when he becomes confident in battle. What’s cooler to look at here is his Zabimaru because they managed to make it look very realistic with the speedy effects.
3. Unohana Retsu
Cosplayer: aero_catcos
This cosplay is made by aero_catcos and her character here is the 4th Division Captain of the Gotei 13, Retsu Unohana. You may know Unohana as a woman with a motherly nature, well that’s just one of her personalities. In the past, she was also one of the captains of the original Gotei 13 and her personality during that time is completely different than what you see in the series.
She was a a cold and relentless captain who slaughtered many of the Quincies when Soul Society went to war against them. The blood that you see in the cosplay is due to her Bankai called Minazuki. As for this cosplay, I’d say that this is very on point and an excellent depiction of one of Unohana’s personalities.
2. Kurosaki Ichigo
Cosplayer: Nick
The cosplayer Nick has made a unique take to capture Ichigo’s look. Aside from going to the usual Ichigo cosplay where he wears a shihakusho for his Soul Reaper mode, this one right here is more of a casual finish. Initially, Ichigo is actually introduced as a delinquent in their school which means that he can be quite a troublemaker to other people, and this is what Nick’s cosplay is trying to portray.
To be honest, this is also a fresh look because when you search for cosplays of Ichigo, all you see are his Soul Reaper and Hollowfied forms. As for this Ichigo cosplay, I’d say that this is an excellent portrayal of the character that emphasizes his daily life when not doing Shinigami-related work.
1. Kuchiki Rukia
Cosplayer: Bambi
Kuchiki Rukia is the lieutenant of the 13th Division and eventually became the Division’s Captain after her former captain, Ukitake, passed away. Bambi’s portrayal of Rukia is by far one of the best because it captures every part of her character. Everything is incredibly made such as the shihakusho, the hairstyle, and especially her Zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki.
The snowflake effects in the background is also one of the factors that made this cosplay better and more impactful because upon activating Rukia’s Shikai, she points her sword downward, as snowflakes begin to appear along with the white ribbon at the end of her sword.
CONCLUSION
So far, these are one of the best Bleach cosplays you can see if you’re ever gonna scour around the internet and who knows, maybe there are even more better ones to come out in the future!
