Shinobu Kocho front view

Shinobu Kocho is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer Anime. For more information about her, check out the fandom wiki page. For more information about the nanoblock builds, check out my collections page for links to other reviews.

This nanoblock build is split into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.

The head is lined up straight, so it is an easy base. Then you build the head in layers like a normal nanoblock build. As you build the head, you will add the details of the eyes. One of the most noticeable things about this head is the hair. She has hair framing her face, and her hair is pulled up into a bow in the back. As you build the head, you will add the details to create these elements in the hair. I also liked how the purple accents in her hair, but I wish they had used the true purple bricks.

Next, you build the body. This is notable because there are several different colors in layers as you build up. In creating the build, first, you build the edges of the top, which is basically a bar of each color. You build the bar up until you add the arms and the rest of the body. Then you add the hips and the legs. This build has a nice detail in that the legs are at different depths. There is a clear brick to keep the build from tipping over.

The final steps of the build are to attach the head to the body and to build and attach the sword.

Things I liked:

  • The details for the legs do not line up in terms of depth
  • The accents in the hair

Things I didn’t like:

  • I wish they had used the true purple instead of the more plum-colored bricks

Then you add the hips and the legs. There is a clear brick to keep the build from tipping over.

This nanoblock build is split into 3 parts. There is the head, hips, and torso.

This head is built in various chucks that are connected together to create the head. You begin by building the front of the head with the eyes. Next, you build some of the hair. As a warning, it is a bit tricky to tell what shade of blue to use depending on the lighting on the directions. You then build more hair. Once you have the 3 chunks, connect the pieces together and close up the head.

The next step is to build the hips, a simple 3 layers of nanoblock.

The final major portion of the build is to create the torso. You begin by building layers of blocks. Next, you build and attach the arms onto the body. Once you have attached the arms, it’s time to connect the major pieces.

The final steps of the build are to build and attach the legs and the swords.

Next, you build the body. You begin the body by creating a base layer of bricks. You then build the body from the base layer up to create Nezuko’s brown and pink kimono.

The final step of the build is to attach the head to the body.

Things I liked:

  • The detail of adding the strands of differently colored hair that hang down. It’s nice because it gives the illusion of longer hair.

Things I didn’t like:

  • I’m not a fan of builds that require building upside down, and this build has quite a bit of upside-down building.

nanoblock Demon Slayer Collection

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting my reviews of the nanoblock builds for Demon Slayer characters.

The Demon Slayer builds are part of the NBCC line, with each build representing a different character from the Manga/Anime. For those who don’t know, the anime’s basic plot is that a young boy tries to become a demon slayer after his family is murdered and his sister is turned into a demon. It is an extremely popular series in both manga and anime forms. For more of an introduction, I recommend reading the Wikipedia page.
