Bleach Wiki:Featured Picture

'''See a scene you think was just amazing? Take a screenshot and post it here for everyone to see! The winning picture will be featured on the homepage of the wiki all next month!'''

The deadline is May 31, 2010. Any unsigned vote will be REMOVED before vote counting.

Rules for Adding Pictures
Take a picture of a recent anime episode or recent manga chapter and upload it on the sidebar. Before you do, the picture MUST be substantially different from other ones posted here. We don't need seven pictures that are within the same ten seconds of an episode with just minor differences in each. Identical or similar pictures will be deleted, and all votes for that picture will be moved to the first picture of that scene posted.

The picture must be free of errors, such as having a mouse on the screen, or it will be removed. Pictures of the manga should be limited to one panel, though more may be permitted if it is too difficult to crop out other panels, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Fan pictures are not allowed, including fan colorings of manga scans.

Post the picture like so: Then, make a separate headline under the appropriate header for each individual picture you have. For example, if you have a picture of Yammy shooting a Bala blast, then you could make a header like so: ===Yammy Riyalgo: Bala Blast===

The picture must have been featured in a chapter or anime episode (either a new Japanese episode or newly dubbed English episode) released this month.

Posting pictures before the release of the new chapter or episode in English is in violation of the Spoiler Policy. DON'T DO IT!

Votes
How to vote:

It's pretty easy to vote, you just have to add either of the following in the category bearing the picture of your choice.:

Adding a picture is not enough to count as a vote - you must also specifically list a comment supporting the picture. You are not required to vote for the picture you uploaded.

Only one "Support" vote vote per user.

The "Oppose" vote is to be used only to highlight issues with a candidate.

See Bleach Wiki:Voting for more rules and guidelines.

Ulquiorra Cifer: Resurrección Segunda Etapa



 * 1) As I suggested this pic, I guess it's only right I should vote for it. Segunda Etapa is still one of the most talked about and most popular bits of Bleach around, and now we get to see it in all its animated glory. (plus it isn't too dissimiliar from manga colourings I saw way back...which is nice) Needless to say, I think the anime people did a good job. TomServo101  (Talk)  13:56, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Shinigami



 * 1) Due to lack of collaboration, the anime team decided to go with the cliché "red eye" thing for Gin back in soul society. Kubo subsequently gave the correct colour when he coloured Gin on the cover for Volume 20. However, for some inexplicable reason the whole red eye thing has stuck around. This misconception needs to be rectified and rectified ASAP! That alone is a reason to feature Gin's baby blues as the feature picture of June.  Tinni   (Talk)  08:35, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Congratulations, they changed his eye colour. Does this have any impact on the plot whatsoever? *smacks the wall* No, it does not. His article has already been edited to rectify the problem, and therefore has no reason for being the featured picture next month.  maggosh 01:11, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) This picture does not do anything for the story, it does not mark a major turning point in the story nor is it just a really amazing picture. This is a shot of eyes, thats it, eyes. It has no significance whatsoever and should not even be voted on--God  (Pray)  17:09, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen: Reiatsu Seal


I would have to go with this one since Aizen hasn't been seen with a WTF sort of face ever before. And the surprise was outstanding, Kubo brought out a good action scene in the middle of a lot of blabber. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) -

Urahara Kisuke: Benihime, Juzu Tsunagi



 * 1) I quite like this image as for one, it shows just how powerful Urahara's shikai alone is. It is also one of the now many different abilities Benihime is shown capable of and I'm my opinion it looks the best, the detonation dwarfing the surrounding buildings and so bright it becomes like night for a few seconds. This is one I'd love to see animated real soon. Prophet of Sanghelios 11:25, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yoruichi Shihōin: Armoured Yoruichi



 * 1)  Like last month's featured picture, this one should also be featured (in my opninion) because Yoruichi has also been absent from the canon series for a very long time.  Most people voted for Urahara's picture because it would answer many questions as to where he had been throughout the last two arcs, and I feel this would also answer those same questions for Yoruichi. And Yoruichi is just plain awesome. I'd also vote for this picture because it shows just how powerful she can be as she had not previously displayed such monstrous strength or raw power to such a degree and she was able to deal out a buch of damange to Aizen in his new form whereas other captains had previously been unable to land a strike on him even when he was still in his regular Shinigami self. Benihime101 02:05, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I love this picture because it feels like years since Yoruichi did anything in the canon line, signifies the return of a fundamental character in the series, one that also helped Ichigo attain the level he is at now, having watched over him in Soul Society and trained him in Bankai!! It may also signify that we may learn more about her abilities in the coming chapter, since her raw strength and speed have been the only abilities really developed for her!! SunXia 12:51, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I think this is the best of the pictures we have. I have always like Yoruichi and this was a big surprise in the manga. It was a new entrant into the ongoing fight against aizen. Great turn to the story--God  (Pray)  22:37, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Gin Ichimaru:Blue Eyes

 * 1) Why was this even put up for picture of the month in the first place? Doesn't contribute to the story at all, nor does it depict anything particularly impressive. Seeing as `blue` is the second most common eye colour, it's not particularly unheard of either. Strongly oppose. Glacial Blaze 01:53, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Ulquiorra Cifer: Resurrección Segunda Etapa

 * 1) This is a picture that many fans have been waiting for. I think that this picture should be featured because no anime pictures have been featured since this section was created and also because this image was finally animated and as i said before it can animate more bleach fans to keep watching the series especially for new ones --Rukialover 14:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I gotta say, this pic really shows Ulquiorras true power. The moment that this was shown was awesome, and they really put effort into it. This is definantly getting my vote. Flamezthe4 18:41, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen: Aizen's New Look

 * The ultimate being, you say? Well, it makes sense that he's entirely covered in white seeing as "gods" aren't meant to be seen, and really, the best they can do to show themselves is to manifest into a form different from their true form. Gold3263301 01:05, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yoruichi Shihōin: Armoured Yoruichi

 * 1)  I would love to see this as the featured picture plainly because i love it. The exact moment i saw this online i litterally jumped for joy in a low celiened room - fyi bad idea to do - Yoruichi is my favourite character along with urahara and the chemistry that they seem to have with each other. Furthermore this picture also shows people how strong she really is, i only wished that aizen was a girl so it would be considered a cat fight and yes that pun was intended.Werewolf Boy 19:01, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * User does not meet criteria set out in the Voting Policy.


 * 1)  I think that this should be the featured picture of the month because mainly it shows the return of Yoruichi who has been absent for a long time in the canon story and because it shows that Urahara and Yoruichi were also doing their own preparations for the fight e.g. creating the anti-hierro armour.
