5-21-2026 Update: I've tried training this on WAI to see if it has better results than base Illustrious, try it out and see!

V2 Update: Make sure to use the trigger word SohryuChar, you can add "retro artstyle, 90s (style)" to the prompt to make it look more like the show, or add it to the negative prompt to make it look more modern.

This is the most show-accurate and easy to use Asuka character LoRA for Illustrious. This was trained using over 300 screenshots of Asuka from the original anime, also including some official artwork and sketches. This LoRA exceeds at accuracy while still being versatile enough to use with other style LoRAs.

There's no need to write prompts like "SohryuChar, orange hair, hair ornaments, blue eyes, etc" as I already trained the model to memorize those features. Just use the trigger word and whatever clothes you'd like her to wear.

For her usual school uniform, "SohryuChar, school uniform, red ribbon" will work fine. For her plugsuit, "SohryuChar, plugsuit" will work.
