Sinner Szayelaporro
So with the release of the new story obviously come a lot of new character designs. One of the most notable is Szayelaporro Granz as a sinner/demon/hellbeast/whatever. Thing is, which image to you think is best to be added to his page? The first, larger one with the horns, or the second one in which he actually looks at the camera?


 * 1) For Option 1. Timjer (talk) 20:05, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) For Option 2. I'd go with option 2 because while it might be less detailed, it honestly shows a bit more and I don't think the horns are par of his default state. Ti9MK97s (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 2 is what I had in mind when I uploaded these - Option 1 is more fit for his appearance section to illustrate a more specific part of his new appearance, and one he can apparently turn on or off. Additionally, 2 is front-facing and 1 is more three-quarters.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

The Almighty/Expanded Universe
I'm gonna keep this short, but The Almighty/Expanded Universe originally had the profile pic of the SK as a demonstration (Both because of the eyes and because we have nothing better to show for it). But since it's primarily to show the SK's unusual eyes to demonstrate it (considering Haswalth and Yhwach gain similar eyes when activating The Almighty in canon), I was thinking of replacing it with an almost unused pic instead that focuses on the SK's eyes specifically.

 * 1) As the proposer. Timjer (talk) 11:55, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Whoops, only just caught this, my b. Anyway, I agree - the increased focus is better, and the rest of the SK's mannequin head isn't important. Plus, more use for forgotten files is always a win in my book.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Akon
So there's a lot of...not-great things about Akon's long-standing profile image. He's largely facing away from the camera, he's in poor lighting, and his mouth is just hanging open like a doofus. Now, the replacement I've found isn't perfect, but it fully or nearly rectifies at least those three issues to show him more properly, and if nothing else it's a decent placeholder till a more proper one can be located.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 1)  As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) While I don't feel particularly strong about the change, Xilinoc's reasoning makes sense. Timjer (talk) 15:35, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey a lil late to the party, how about this one?Edanakas (talk) 06:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Yeah, I like this one better lol. More akin to his usual look.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:50, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) as proposer. dont you mean...more akon to his usual look. -shot-Edanakas (talk) 16:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Shōta Toyokawa
Came across this in my recent episode binge: Shōta's current pic isn't as bad as some of the ones we've had on here, but it's in nighttime lighting and he's facing somewhat to the side while being off-center. Found a replacement in the very next ep where he's completely centered, facing the camera, and in daytime/indoor lighting. No cons that I can think of unless you're reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally a fan of him wearing a disgruntled Ichigo frown.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree this new option is better than the current one, not to mention better lighting.  23:14, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) - Yup, much better.

Zangetsu (Quincy Powers)
While I don't see much wrong with the current profile pic for Old Man Zangetsu, I feel like my proposal is better. For one, it's a larger image and (my biggest reasoning) it's NOT from a filler arc that kinda breaks the character's entire lore. Just knowing the image from a canon characters is from a non-canon story that outright contradicts later stuff annoys me.


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) As the guy who put forward the current image to replace the long-standing 3/4 profile one...yeah, we should use this one instead, something I didn't know of at the time. I'll admit to being biased in favor of the Zanpakutō arc, but it's still definitively non-canon, and you're right that this replacement is not only bigger, but set in his usual habitat, so to speak; it's also much more focused on his head/face and has more detail to it, in line with the older style of the anime, so no complaints from me.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:52, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Edrad Liones
We've got a unique one here. It took several years of glossing over this on the page (basically until I got the official colored manga that highlighted it) to realize that the anime...flipped Edrad's hair colors from the manga: they made the black, shaved side red and the white (indicating a non-dark color), long side black, when it should actually be black on the shaved side and red on the long side (they also made his eyebrows red when they should be black as well? Pierrot sure made some choices, geez). It's somehow less noticeable than the Rangiku/Orihime/Nelliel/Harribel color changes we've dealt with before, but it's also more egregious because it's not wrong shades, it's outright incorrect placement, and even though it's pretty normalized to my eyes (and I assume many others by now) we should change it for the sake of accuracy. There are two potential replacement shots from the manga, and believe me, I scoured it thoroughly to find workable substitutes; Proposal 1 would readily fit the infobox size without being stretched out/pixelated, but doesn't have him looking head-on or centered, while Proposal 2 is a more standard shot, but is less detailed and only just fits the infobox exactly at 270px (used to be 230px and would've been stretched out, but I discovered that it doesn't incorporate too much text-box if expanded by 20px on either side) - it's also the manga equivalent of the anime scene/shot we've been using, if that helps. Either way, we gotta change it up.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Was going to reluctantly go for 1, but after seeing that it can be reworked to fit without stretching, Option 2 is my choice.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 2 as well. See, Pierrot, this is why we can't have nice things; you guys needlessly changing stuff all the time. Timjer (talk) 22:43, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki
Isshin's long-standing profile image has always bugged me - the quality's good, but he's looking away from the camera, has his head tilted, and has his finger raised up just high enough that you can't fully crop it out without impacting his chin. Since we don't have any good shots of him in his normal Human form (which he spends most of his time in) from the manga yet, I figured I should try bringing up the alternative from episode 142 instead; it's dead center, he's aligned straight, and it's got a good bit more detail to it. I know the towel and hand are a bit jarring, but I feel like that's negligible compared to the improvements.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The current one has always looked a bit comical to me, if that makes any sense. The proposal is definitely an improvement.
 * 3) Agreed, the proposal looks more like a natural expression to me. Timjer (talk) 14:58, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Zanpakutō Spirit
So, as I discussed with Xil, I split the Zanpakutō Spirit page between its canon manga and anime filler sections. Problem is, the manga section still uses an anime filler profile pic. While I agree the picture of Nimaiya's "harem" may look weird, it's still the best we have IMO. After all, it shows several Zanpakuto Spirits at once in a nice group shot and it's not in use for anything else. Timjer (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Had an epiphany as I was writing up an explanation for the initial proposal being the lesser of two evils/adherence to wiki policy (being that it was one of the very, very few group shots for a racial class not prone to such shots by the nature of their being, as well as featuring canon designs, even though it's nameless generic boobie characters who otherwise look like normal Humans/Souls); Nimaiya's forge assistants are also Zan spirits, and they happen to have distinct appearances and names, even if not as exotic as Zangetsu/Zabimaru/Hyōrinmaru/Katen and Kyōkotsu. Initially I was about to write them off because the one proper, zoomed-out group shot of them has Tokie lying flat on the ground and Nimaiya himself fairly prominently viewable, but with the magic of cropping and erasing, the cover page of their introduction chapter that features all their headshots becomes a decent and far less fanservice-filled alternative to the first proposal, volume-added text aside. Obviously, this is something we'd replace as soon as the anime version becomes available, but for now I think this might be the best we've got.


 * 1) Of Proposal 2, as proposer and for the reasons listed above.--Xilinoc (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Of Proposal 2 as well for the same reasons. I have to admit, Xil, that's a much better idea than mine. Timjer (talk) 10:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
