Cosplayer saves the day after fire breaks out at shopping mall anime event

A cosplayer dressed as Frieren from “Beyond Journey’s End” quickly helped put out a fire that started at a shopping mall in Vietnam.

People often don’t think of cosplayers as being prepared for serious situations, but one man is proving that assumption wrong.

On January 25th, Tuấn Dũng attended a shopping mall event dressed as the character Himmel from the series Frieren.

Okay, so things got a little crazy at the event. A stage light suddenly caught fire, which was super scary! But this guy, Dũng, was a total hero. He jumped into action immediately, way faster than the staff or anyone from the mall could even react. Seriously, he saved the day!

Cosplayer extinguishes fire at Vietnamese shopping mall

A video shared online by a cosplayer named Himmel shows Dũng using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire.

The video captures a cosplayer extinguishing a fire with a fire extinguisher, much to the surprise of onlookers. Afterwards, he assisted shoppers and event attendees by moving their carts to safety.

A cosplayer dressed as Himmel became a real-life hero when he quickly put out a fire at a shopping mall event in Vietnam. A stage light had overheated, and he immediately used a fire extinguisher to control the blaze. People are saying, “That’s exactly what the real hero Himmel would do!”

He posted on Facebook explaining that a fire started near the stage spotlights. He used his fire safety training to quickly put it out and stop it from spreading.

This highlights the importance of everyone knowing basic fire safety, so they can react effectively in an emergency.

Fans were impressed with the cosplayer’s skills as the footage spread across anime communities.

“Himmel would do the same,” one top commenter said.

“It’s paramount that if you cosplay Himmel, you must act heroic,” another chimed in.

It’s refreshing to see a different outcome compared to recent controversies in the cosplay community. Last year, popular cosplayer Kit Noel faced arrest after reportedly making threats to bomb an anime convention in Texas, stemming from a disagreement with an energy drink company.

Police in Melbourne responded to a scare at a shopping center, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Reports of a man with a knife were actually a fan dressed as a character from the anime series Demon Slayer.
