Megan Thee Stallion’s Halloween cosplay shows off peak anime taste

Megan Thee Stallion blesses us with banger after banger. This time it’s not a song, but another one of her incredible anime cosplays. On Monday, the American rapper shared photos of her cosplaying as Death the Kid Soul Eater. The appropriate choice just goes to show that Megan Thee Stallion has always had good taste in anime.

You can view the full gallery of photos on her Instagram. She largely stayed true to Death the Kid’s overall look, where she had an angular suit and black hair painted with his iconic three white stripes. She even mimics the typical camera angle from above Soul Eater often used in one of her photos. Still, she gives the character’s presentation her own flair by adding a sick set of pointy nails and art depicting Death the Kid’s companions, Liz and Patty Thompson, with darker skin.

Soul Eater isn’t exactly a niche series. The manga had 19.6 million copies in circulation as of 2019 and was available to stream on major streaming services such as Netflix. Still, it’s far from the super popular anime series like Attack on Titan And Demon slayer. The series aired in 2008, making it an older series at this point. At this point, anime fans may be more familiar with Shinji Aramaki’s later series, Firepower.

But Megan found the perfect match with Death. Both characters have iconic three-part names with a ‘the’ to emphasize their stardom. Moreover, Death the Kid also has an incredible theme that’s a rap too.

Megan Thee Stallion’s love for anime has been an integral part of her career and personality. You could write a long list of all her nerdy shenanigans, but we’ll include a few here to give you an idea: She cosplayed Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia in 2019 and Yumeko Jabami out Kakegurui in 2020. Last year she performed in Japan in full Sailor Moon cosplay. Additionally, she launched a line with Crunchyroll and has written anime references into her music.

Megan Thee Stallion is a nerd through and throughand now we’re blessed with one of her best cosplays yet.
