Valiant cosplay champion and occasional kickboxer Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima has been mercilessly crushed by Dutch kickboxing powerhouse Albert Kraus, whose overwhelming weight of experience overcame even Yuichiro’s cosplay powers, with a swift knockout the price of an inadequately dazzling costume.
You can see his crushing defeat below:
His opening cosplay was from fujoshi anime Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, and it seems he evaded having his costume torn from his broken body and taken off to the Netherlands as spoils. Kraus for his part unspectacularly cosplayed an angry Dutchman.
He graciously acknowledged defeat at the hands of the lowland brute in this eloquent blog post, which soon attracted nearly 2,000 comments:
I Lost.
I took the punch and lost. I couldn’t project myself at all. I’m just not there yet. I’ll rest a little and then try even harder than before.
I can still do this. I’ll keep at it!
Thank you to everyone who cheered me on.
He vowed to train harder, even in fighting.
His battle was a complete success in one sense though, as event organisers boasted of TV ratings of 17%, compared to an average of 11%.
2ch for its part quickly took to rubbishing him as a loser who had it coming.
Observers generally consider his loss an inevitability, with the difference in class between the Dutch beast, an international champion, and the otaku warrior, a national level fighter, being simply too great. It seems unlikely we have heard the last of cosplay kickboxing, however…

ok...
Yes, that is a good news indeed.
I dont think it's good news at all. I mean, sure he was completely outclassed, but the dutch guy appears to be an absolute ars with no respect for crossdressers or gay people whatsoever.
He's in a boxing match....
He's not going to have sympathy on his opponent just because he cosplays as girls is he?
Not ok....
KO!!!!
The guy got guts..you had to admit that...for that I give him my praise...
jjajaajjajaaj Gay :)
he lost because he's pregnant. xDDDD
...has ended Yuichiro's Beyond Godlike streak?
No wonder he lost. His opponent was shit-scared at at the thought of wearing that Yoko costume~ I'd like to see Yuichiro win next time lol.
And as for the training, i'd reccommend him to work out with Hinako...
Hahaha, I think he's in pretty good shape though. Maybe train with a fighting instructor of some sort instead. Oh well, he probably already watched that training video regardless :D
That cosplay as Index made me cringe... then lol... the cry. In that order.
I died a little
I don't even know how I'm able to type this after watching that...
Well that was a quick fight
yeah..... go yuichiro
Nooooes.
I hope he'll have his revenge someday, love the photos at the bottom during the fight btw haha.
He has to change the way he fights before that O_ò from basics.
Oh my.. When I saw that battle two days ago, it maked me all gloomy.. :[
Ouch, a short left hook from the inside tagged him the first time. The second time was just a brutal combination starting with that body blow.
Despite the loss, I still believe in Yuichiro!
Actually, that "slip" at 2:40 into the fight wasn't so much a slip as him getting dinged by a looping left hook as well.
Second time he got caught it was a right uppercut and left hook combo.
Third and final time was indeed the flurry of shots which started with the body shot and ended with the left and right hooks, just blasting through what little defense Yuichiro had left.
Imo, he just underestimated his opponent too much. Kraus has experience, power and a good chin. You take such an opponent too lightly, by focusing on non-essential stuff like who to cosplay or what costume to stick him in, and you're going to get caught.
Would've been more prudent not to get under such a guy's skin. Stuff like that only motivates them to train even harder and be even more focused. You'd want him to underestimate you, not vice versa.
Just my 2 copper pieces though.
cosplayer got spamed. (reminds me of soulcalabur)
@6:36 He let his emotions get the better of him and threw that stupid combo that left him wide open to get decked in the face... He deserved that!
You could just see the skin of his face ripple from that triple hit to the face. Unfortunate for yuichiro, but I still say
"PWNED"
lol@Goku and Piccolo in the audience around 5:15.
LOL~~ That's one angry Dutchman. I don't know what he's trying to do at 6.48....
"When a man wears a dress, there's something wrong with him...Or he's gay"
That line caught me laughing hard
and around 3.22 that was a real killer.
I haven't laughed so much since that time I read that critical article on the increase in value added tax in hokkien.
I supposed it would be too difficult for this Klaus to appreciate otakuness
yeah that fag of a cosplayer needed these punches to wake the fuck up already. The dutch guy is doing him a favor.
@ 6:48 it looks like the dutchman is trying to eat some guy. guess he got hungry.
It may be a little loss to Yuichiro... but big for Otaku World.
RETREAT! As Icy-nee-san said: "the battle is lost, yet the war is not over!!".
We'll wait for the best moment to strike, but this time with puru pawah!
*gendou pose*
hope he cosplays as cast-off gundam Virtue next match so he can switch to Nadleeh after tiring his opponent. XD
hahaha...
It would be better as GP-03 Dendobrium.
Do you best Yuichiro! I believe in ya'!
Cave Kraus' skull in next time!
+1
In battle, its not always win. Someone will always come and overpower you.
everybody lose. nothing new here, idiots.
yeah but its the humiliation and defeat u have to deal with later
What humiliation?
I don't see anything here, other than him losing.
Humiliation is many time self-inflicted.
Boastful comments before-hand make a loss much worse.
Contrast with a pre-fight statement such as, "I know my opponent is a worthy fighter; I have been training diligently and simply will do my best."
Humiliation? What the fuck are you talking about? Losing is a big part of this sport.
you need to learn this: sportsmanship.
you'll only have humiliation if you're too proud to tell others that you will certainly win in a match but then lose
There's nothing to be humilliated about when a fighter knows that he did his best on the ring and if he feels that it wasn't enough, he will simply train harder.
In UFC you have a perfect example of that on Quinton Jackson. He was a punching bag for Wanderlei Silva in PRIDE. A few years later and he can knockout Silva on the first round. That's the evolution of a fighter, they don't spend time crying and feeling humilliated about a loss, they accept it and train harder so that it won't happen again.
ahaha, searched the info right after the match ended >.> (I was so curious about the match)
well, some battles you win, some battles you lose, he won the championship last time, but like takumi (initial D) unless he had experienced defeat, he won't grow.
Which happens with a lot of fighters. Like Fedor Emelianenko, who lost to TK Kohsaka due to a cut injury in 2000 and, has been undefeated since then.
Trash talk from fat 2channers otaku unable to lift a water pack must certainly bother Yuichiro.
People who do not try cannot achieve anything and a lost is still profitable in term of experience.
I wish Manny Pacquiao cosplays on his fight in May...
Hmmm... A Mio Akiyama would suit him, since she's this popular...
DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!
DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!
DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!
DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!
*Resets Brain* =_=;
Pacquiao in Mio Akiyama Cosplay!
You have Perfect Memorization, do you?
Not sure if want
Fuck Yeah Kraus
