Shido Itsuka – Sword & Wreath Christmas Sweatshirt, Date A Live

The boy who saves the world one date at a time finally gets a sweater of his own. This Shido Itsuka Christmas sweatshirt shows the hero of Date A Live mid-swing inside a winter wreath, on blue zigzag stripes that look knitted from across the room.

Shido Itsuka Christmas sweatshirt: the print

Shido wears his Raizen High uniform, black blazer open and blue tie flying, and brings down a broadsword that trails arcs of golden light. A wreath of magenta leaves and blue berries frames him on a black disc. White pixel fir trees cross the blue zigzags above and below; the sleeves carry strings of baubles, with tiny pixel Shidos at the cuffs. On the back, the Date A Live logo sits over the same pattern. Shido can borrow the Angels of the Spirits he has sealed, and this blade looks a lot like Tohka's Sandalphon.
