Nightmare Cosplay from Soulcalibur

Nightmare is the main antagonist of the Soulcalibur series and the living embodiment of the cursed sword Soul Edge. Originally tied to the character Siegfried, Nightmare becomes a separate entity driven by a desire to consume souls and spread destruction.

He is known for his dark blue armor, monstrous clawed arm, and massive sword, giving him a powerful and intimidating presence. His design blends medieval armor with demonic elements, making him a standout character and a popular choice for armor-focused cosplay builds.
