09:53the fidelity of the cosplay, but a curious and unexpected detail. The rubber-like material of
09:58the costume accumulated large amounts of sweat due to the summer heat and the lack of breathability
10:03of the costume. Glikko attended an event in Tokyo wearing Asuka's signature red tie-fitting suit
10:08made of a material that does not allow sweat to be absorbed. As a result, after several hours in
10:13the sun, the sweat began to accumulate inside the suit until it turned into a considerable amount
10:18of liquid, which became evident when the cosplayer took off her rubber boots and showed how the sweat
10:24flowed to the ground.
