Cosplayer Makes 'Kabane Sword' Light Up With LED
posted on by Karen Ressler

Just in time for this week's final episode of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Fukuoka-based cosplayer Maxi (@Maxifactory) has constructed cosplay version of Kurusu's Kabane Sword using LED lights to replicate the red glow. The battery box is housed in the hilt.

普段は普通の日本刀ですが内蔵LEDで刀身がアニメのように赤く光ります!電池ボックスも柄に内蔵し外観に配慮!
なんとか最終回に間に合いました!頑張ったのでRTください← pic.twitter.com/3JwWbPfwFy




Maxi's Twitter and Cosplayers Archive blog make it clear that the artist's specialty is cosplay swords constructed with 100-yen (dollar) store materials, so one might surmise that the Kabane Sword didn't cost too much to make.
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is streaming on Amazon Prime.
