In DigimonThe DigiDestined are a group of heroes who maintain the balance between the real and digital worlds, with their monster friends being loyal partners both in the field as warriors and outside as lifelong friends. In two new cosplay posts two of Digimon‘s most iconic Digi-Riders, Mimi and Sora, finally get the live-action look they deservewith their Digimon, Palmon and Biyomon, who dare to make the leap into the real world with them!

Shared on Instagram by both cosplayers — Taïr Hamou (@paper.moon.cosplay) as Mimi and Shani Cohen (@missnarcca) as Sora — These two talents have successfully managed to transform a pair of rarely played characters into something truly special.

Taïr, who has recently dressed as Rogue of the X-Men, Daredevil as Elektra, Batgirl, Supergirl, and more, takes no offense when creating these homemade looks, and each new design seems just as professional as the last. Shani, on the other hand, is just at the beginning of her potentially productive cosplay journey, having previously dressed up as Jubilee of the X-Men with incredibly excellent results.

Premiere in 1999, Digimon Adventure was an anime that followed eight DigiDestined, Tai, his sister Kari, Matt, his brother TK, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Sora, and their various Digimon friends such as Agumen, Gabumon, Gatomon, and more as they were sucked into a strange and dangerous digital world with no hope of return. The DigiDestined team had to endure numerous trials and tribulations to prove their worth as heroes, friends, and people. Over the years, the team eventually changed and evolved, taking in more and more children with similar fates, with Mimi and Sora are two fan-favorite members of a team that fans fondly remember.

Mimi wears an oversized cowboy hat, Taïr’s braided hair, flowing red dress and brown gloves add to this anime-accurate look. A stuffed Palmon in one hand and a Digivice in the other complete this live-action design. Shani, holding Biyomon, wears a chic yellow tank top and jeans and Sora’s signature beanie hat, bringing this iconic Digi-Knight to life in a way that doesn’t disappoint. In the next post, the deep bond between Mimi and Sora is shown: Taïr and Shani hold hands and Digivices, the friendship between the two is palpable.
