Who Is May?

May is the vice-captain of the Jellyfish Pirates in Guilty Gear STRIVE. After becoming an orphan during the Crusades, she was raised by Johnny, whom she deeply admires and loves.

Cheerful, straightforward, and full of energy, May has a childlike way of thinking and values the people she cares about above everything else. Her greatest wish is to protect her family—the Jellyfish Pirates—and earn Johnny's recognition.

She is playful, optimistic, impulsive, and always ready to take action before thinking things through. Her enthusiasm is contagious, making her one of the most beloved characters in the Guilty Gear series.

Size Buying Guide

The matching wig and shoes are available separately from Ezcosplay to complete May's iconic look.

How to Choose the Right Size

Before ordering, open the "Size Guide" on the product page.

The measurements shown are finished garment measurements, not body measurements.

Please measure:

  • Height
  • Shoulder Width
  • Chest
  • Waist
  • Hips

The recommended measurement unit is inches.

Since May's hoodie is intentionally oversized, the most important measurements are shoulder width and hoodie length. The relaxed fit is part of the character's design, so there is no need to choose a smaller size to achieve a tighter silhouette.

If your measurements fall between two sizes, choosing one size larger is recommended for greater comfort and freedom of movement, especially during conventions and cosplay events.

If you need adjustments such as longer sleeves or customized measurements, you can select the Custom Size option and leave your requirements in the order notes.

If you are unsure which size is right for you, you can also contact Ezcosplay customer service before placing your order.


Dressing Guide

For the best May Cosplay appearance, wear the costume in the following order:

  1. Put on the black shorts.
  2. Wear the oversized orange hoodie.
  3. Adjust the hood and decorative shoulder details.
  4. Put on the fingerless gloves.
  5. Wear May's signature orange hat.
  6. Finish the look with the matching wig and shoes.

The oversized hoodie is designed to create May's casual and energetic appearance. Arrange the hood naturally and allow the sleeves to drape slightly for the most accurate look.

Real Customer Reviews

Customer Review — @Syoharan

"I absolutely love how this costume looks on me—it fits amazingly well and is incredibly comfortable to wear! Everything that came in the package is excellent quality. The hoodie fits perfectly, while the gloves and shorts are extremely comfortable. The hat is especially adorable. The only downside is that it's a little expensive, but considering the outstanding quality, I definitely think it's worth every penny."

"This is a fantastic cosplay costume! The hoodie is lightweight, making it perfect for wearing to conventions during the summer, and it's very easy to move around in. I only wish the front pocket were functional instead of decorative. The wig and hat both look great, and the skull emblem on the hat can be adjusted to achieve the look you want. I personally replaced the included shorts with another pair because they weren't quite the style I was looking for, but overall this is an excellent costume. The finished cosplay turned out super cute!"
