Viral Fullmetal Alchemist Cosplay Brings the Anime's Saddest Scene to Life

As someone who has been entrenched in the world of anime for what feels like a lifetime, I must say that the cosplay at Otakuthon this year left me utterly speechless. The father-daughter duo’s rendition of Shou Tucker and Nina from Fullmetal Alchemist was nothing short of breathtaking, a true testament to the enduring impact this series continues to have on its fans.


There are some things in life you cannot unsee. The world is full of cursed things, and when it comes to anime, Fullmetal Alchemist dropped one of the most unforgettable moments the fandom has ever witnessed. The horror of Shou Tucker cannot be understood unless you’ve watched Fullmetal Alchemist, and now, the anime is going viral after a cosplay brought the cursed scene to life.

As a long-time enthusiast of anime and cosplay events, I must say that attending Otakuthon this year was an unforgettable experience. One particular moment during the cosplay contest left me utterly astonished: a father-daughter duo who took the stage, causing quite a stir among the audience. The dad, dressed as Shou Tucker with a dog plus in one hand and tightly holding his daughter in the other, truly stole the show. It was a heartwarming sight to witness such dedication and passion for their shared love of anime. This moment reminded me once again why I adore these events; they bring people together through a mutual appreciation for creativity, storytelling, and self-expression.

If you understand…JAILLLLLLLLLL TO JAILLLLLLL

Indeed, events unfolded in an unexpected manner afterwards. In a flash, the young girl transformed herself – reminiscent of the poignant moment you may recall from Fullmetal Alchemist, where she morphed into a creature with half-dog characteristics, stirring emotions even among the most stoic souls.

It did not take long for this cosplay to hit social media, and anime fans are as shocked by it as they are impressed. Fullmetal Alchemist did real psychic damage with its chimera scene, and to this day, the moment resonates with fans new and old. Shou Tucker has gone down as anime’s worst parents thanks to his actions. It takes guts to bring the character to life with a cosplay, and that goes doubly when you bring Nina into the mix. The young girl was a bright spot during the early days of Fullmetal Alchemist, and fans still mourn what could have been for her.

Undeniably, this father-daughter duo deserves recognition for stirring the anime community. They truly excelled in their work. If you haven’t met Shou and Nina yet, I encourage you to explore them by watching Fullmetal Alchemist. You can stream both versions of the anime on Crunchyroll.
