Big agree on Havok here- his look is really strong and immediately jumps out as one of the best. Synch also looking really good. No idea how you'd actually _make_ that polychromatic fabric like that, but you would look _amazing_ in it, X. Polaris I think you nailed- it's really the shape there that makes it work compared to some of the other, more boring looks. More than just the dress, she's also changed her hair up a lot to help conform with the shape of her outfit, and that really pushes it from bland to beautiful. Colossus!! His look actually stunned me for a second, the beard, the fur, the dark palette, absolutely incredible. Also really love Magneto's white suit look, I can never resist a good white suit. I did have a beat where I realized "wait... Magneto is _90 years old_ now... damn..." But hey, I guess he can still pull it off. Also really good to see Rogue in here styling. Kinda surprised at the women's side of things overall feeling a bit on the weaker side because I really was expecting more there, but Emma and Mystique thankfully came in to absolutely slay towards the end. And, honestly, for both of them it was as much the character and confidence they brought as it was the actual outfits (not that the outfits were bad, but the way they wore them really pushed them into slay territory- I guess maybe that's something of a lesson in itself.) Domino's look, though, I think she's maybe the only one of the X-Force tuxes that pulls it off. I'm _really_ biased towards a woman in a good suit or tux, and it helps that the monochrome colors work with her normal look. Loved the video overall, and I think "save vs slay" was a really fun and unique way to rate the looks. I know the long videos like this are a lot of work, but I hope you had fun making it because it was a great watch.

I love this format, please do more!

It's hard to pick a favorite, but Synch, Colossus, Karma, and Rachel are up there. Rachel's braided leash is so fierce and drag to me. If you do this again I think you might need one or two more categories, because the X-Force gang being in the same category as...Psylocke, for example, is wild. XD

Prodigy's look was so random to me, kinda basic (they put a lot of the queer characters in that corset/dress thing for some reason), and didn't feel informed by the character. You don't look at it and go, 'oh yeah, that's something David would wear.' I just didn't get it.

I don't like Gambit's. He had a better gala outfit in X-Men 97.

X-Force wore matching tuxedos to the gala because they were working security. I believe most of the teams either wore the same designer or were coordinated.

Why are so many of these looks, especially the men’s surprisingly, so good? like some designers need to be taking notes 😂

Obsessed I was recommended this

this video and channel combines my two greatest loves

the "whenever i feel like it" sold me so bad

Emma Frost is so extra she WOULD have at least 3 outfit changes for 1 evening 🤍💠🤍 Love love love this video! ♥

I’m so glad people still remember yu yu hakusho❤️

you should do Catwomans wedding dress. Im pretty sure it was designed by an actual fashion house

before I'm even 2 min into the video I gotta say that YOUR fit was absolute killer this vid

I feel like Professor X being a worse dresser than Magneto may be bad in the eyes of fashionistas but really fits the character. Magneto is dressed to kill because he has killed before and will kill again and is just generally looking good while he does so, and proffessor X is a stuffy principal. How many of those have you known who were true fashion mavens? I rest my case. Also yes, I like Havoc's outfit because it combines a striking look with strong references to his theme / power. Some have a cool look because it's a neat reference, like Sunspots outfit being a reference to how he absorbs solar power and turns it into plasma blasts by having his outfit be a reference to actual plasma cascading on the sun... but as outfits it feels like there's so little of it there's not much to really talk about.

I love this format! Very fun. I really like how they kept things mostly realistic (as in, you could physically make most of these outfits IRL) but with the occasional pop of something fantastical here and there, and I also appreciate that they clearly put a lot of thought into most of them, not just going for a literal interpretation of their powers nor a "fashion" version of their regular superhero outfits. I don't think I disagreed with any of your takes lol

While I didn't like Eye Boy's outfit, I like that it's giving me biblically accurate angel. A cool Seraphim style.

1:54 hard disagree. When you got abs like that. You show them off.

this was fun to watch, you should definitely do more breakdowns of hellfire gala fits. that event is just begging for a fashion breakdown!

i love the outfits you wear on every video, they match the theme so well yet still very practical. just awesome design choices 🔥🔥🔥

I like your outfit 🤘

Are you gonna cover tekken 8 or street fighter 6 costumes? Some of them seem pretty interesting

This was incredibly fun! Me and some of my Comic book friends went through all of the Gala Looks a few months ago! I wont Spoil anything but looking through all of the looks made me wants to read Emma Frost Comics (Had no Idea who she was before) And my absolute fave? Is Moon Knights 2023 Gala Look! Cant wait to see your impressions when we get there~

thanks for the video

thanks for the video

my favorite designs were Frenzy, Synch and Sunfire

Thanks for the breakdown! You def found some gems

(Looks at 2020-2023) I can't blame you being late. Time in that period was all over the place. That said, great upload, excellent way to beat the heat. Looking forward to closing up June with an array of interesting uploads from you. Thanks for another vid, and I'm looking forward to your future uploads (as well as weather that is a bit more tolerable).

A detail i really like about Manifold is the white circles in his body and outfit that represent his origin as a native australian, plus with the clothing the two circles in his torso forming an X

Yeeeah let's go. Thanks for the video

Really love what you did with these and really appreciate your hitting them *all.* Great job. As for your evaluation style? I think you nailed the way to look at these kinds of things. A lot of the fandom at the time were *actively* making fun of the Avengers who got an invite for just showing up in their work clothes (a faux pas they rectified the next year). WRT the bare chest club, I tend to give Eyeboy more leeway than most of them as part of the idea of the Gala was mutants getting to express themselves in ways they'd been repressed for their whole lives, and Eyeboy getting to go without a shirt or too much of any covering was especially poignant for him, since he has the kind of mutation that people often react to with disgust and revulsion. Most of the other ones were pure "check out my superhero physique" though, heh. And Rachel's costume was about reclaiming a very dark time in her life. That's about the extent of my input. Sorry for hogging your comment section! Looking forward to more.

Are you planning on doing Peter Parker and Miles Morales's hellfire gala outfits?

The tux looks are worn by X-Force who were actually on the job as security at the Gala. So technically a work uniform, just a little more stylish than their usual ones.

And I am unfashionably early.

Nice video. Great picks for YYH. I'd be interested to see what you think of the very 80s meets Greek mythology style of Saint Seiya.

Fugo's outfit looks better with the red manga coloring instead of the anime's green

I think the use of AI in this video was much better, and I really appreciated the care you gave in explaining brands for the characters. Hell yeah!

Wow another great fashion anime review X! I really loved it. Yu Yu Hakusho has to be one of my favourite anime/manga series and i always loved to see new outfits appear. I also love how you could do some "cosplay" of these and just have an everyday fit which true fans would maybe still recognize. I hope we can some time in the future see one of these analyses videos about Dragon Ball. It may seem that there is not much but over the long running of the anime and manga there are a lot of cool outfits to find, especially in Bulma's wardrobe. Also the editing becomes better in better in these videos and i liked the AI assistance, that was totally ok :)

i think i fall in love with 90s Japanese streetwear :o

My reaction when you said that at first the AI said Gucci for Kurama, "Mm, no." and you immediately said that too 😂 I love Kurama, but then Yoko Kurama appeared and I really, really love Kurama 😂 I really love his silver/white palette as Yoko Kurama because of how much it contrasts the human Kurama.

Japan definitely borrowed a lot of elements of greaser fashion, and most especially the hair and jackets- you can see a _lot_ of that kind of stuff in 80s/90s anime with various "delinquent" characters, where it is pretty heavily coded as a signal of being in a gang of some sort, although of course in the context of anime protagonists they usually have a heart of gold. A lot of the borrowing comes out of the influence the US had over Japan through the 50's with the post-war occupation by large numbers of GIs, although it went a lot further than that; it's a very interesting subject (and one that ties directly into the birth of anime, as it happens) if you are curious to look into it more. YYH and HxH definitely feel like they epitomize the "shounen battle anime tournament arc" formula very well; Yoshiro Togashi I think understood the pacing and structure of that concept better than perhaps anyone, as both of those series are essentially nothing _but_ a series of long tournament arcs. But beyond that, he also had a talent for crafting an interesting cast of characters and antagonists, which is something that I think a lot of shounen series tend to struggle with. (Although, that said, he wasn't exactly great at writing women and it shows pretty clearly.) I'm not surprised at all that Kurama was your fave from the show- that definitely would've been my guess for you, because I think you share a lot of the "classy and reserved" vibe that he gives off (both in dress and in attitude.) I was definitely a Hiei fanboy myself, because I am a huge dork and the "angsty powerful dark antihero" absolutely hit home for me at the time. (You may be shocked to find out that I also liked Ryouga over Ranma in that series.) You really hit the nail on the head with all of the style picks for this one, especially for Hiei and Botan, and I think the AI stuff worked pretty well here because it was just the clothes. I really enjoyed the format overall, and I can't wait to see what you're working on next.

Ahhh, finally home from work and- nice. Just the way to start my weekend. Quality as always, the gang had some great outfits beyond their everyday wear (school or combat uniforms).
