Before that since it was a Sunday we went to church service with our family friends who are kind enough to host us (props to them) here in Perth, the church was Sunset Coast Church.
It was a very eye opening experience to say the least, my old view of the classic preacher in church was blown out of the water in fact when we rocked up to service it was like entering some sort of rock concert with performers on a large stage and singing evangelistic music.
The service was pretty standard affair with awesome musical interludes in-between: Church news, explanation of scripture, prayer and passing around the donation buckets the general stuff you’d expect from going to church.
The musical interludes I have to admit were of extremely high quality and the whole operation was damn slick complete with charismatic preacher.

Anyway after service it was Wai-con time dispite having to take serveral detours, and parking 5 minutes short of the convention center we eventually made our way to the venue.

After paying and getting our passes we proceeded to get stuck into the event browsing the various stalls, checking out what they have on offer and of course checking out the cosplays.

So here are some pics of the cosplay I took and some courtesy of my sister:

And of course the spoils of war:

Edit: Fixed the miss-directed links.

Yuichiro although losing to the more experienced Albert Kraus has vow to train harder.

From watching the fight on youtube and a quick wiki of Kraus’s history of fights it was fairly obvious that Yuichiro doomed to fail.
Kraus’s experience, fight record of 58 wins, 13 losses, 3 draws and seven titles truely shows that the odds were stacked very much in Kraus’s favor.

You can check out the smashing fight below.
