Background Change Candidates
So we were talking about new backgrounds in chat earlier, and after presenting this option most seemed to be in agreement. So I've got the permission of the original manga colour artists, and here we are to vote. Feel free to throw up any other alternatives or suggest other images to be used (I'm happy to create more).

''To keep this short the voting period will be one week. Voting ends on October 9 according to the wiki clock.

 * 1) - yep, I like it.
 * 2) Kami likey.
 * 3) - prefer the one we have looks way more professional!!

Lemurs made a number of alternative backgrounds a while back to fit the new color scheme we've got going on, so I saw it fit to add them to the proposals. Personally, I wouldn't mind if it were changed, but the current background just seems right to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) The picture arrangements look nice and all, but frankly I'm more comfortable with black and white than I am with the Red, White and Blue Turbo Rocket™ color scale. -  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:32, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) To be honest I never really found a design I was particularly satisfied with. The color scheme, I agree is an issue, personally I would prefer either a duotone or just black and white color scheme. If anyone has any proposals for a new background, I have the software capable of pretty much doing anything within reason. I could even attempt to redo the current background in a scalable vector format. -- 02:49, October 4, 2013 (UTC)

Pesche Guatiche
In the current profile picture, Pesche's eye is rather exaggerated. The two proposals show more of his natural facial expression. 09:04, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Proposal 2 is better. It is not as zoomed out as the current one and doesn't have the exaggerated eye. But before it could be used, the FUR would need to be added. If that is done, I would support the change.  11:55, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) FUR issue is solved. I see no problem. (Proposal 2)
 * 3)  Proposal 2.  03:18, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Proposal 2, big improvement.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  03:20, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Quincy: Letzt Stil
I think this is the best place for this discussion. Currently, the profile GIF for Quincy: Letzt Stil shows Uryū creating an arrow and firing it. However, I believe it would be much more fitting to show Uryū actually activating Letzt Stil and displaying what it looks like instead of just showing his attack, so I had Sun make a GIF showing just that. Thoughts on changing the profile GIF? I'm aware the first GIF is much smoother, but quality over smoothness and all that.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:38, November 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) - as the person who brought this up, I support the change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:38, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Is there somewhere to have him firing the weapon as in the actual attack, I mean it is a pretty strong, relevant attack??

That could probably go next to the Spirit Weapon Augmentation section, actually. Good point.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:58, November 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) the problem with the original is there's too much not-Uryu.
 * 2) Yay for overdue voting. The proposal better shows the transformation and appearance, and the old one still has a valid use. Good enough for me.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  03:05, January 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) For the reasons above.
 * 4) Proposal shows the transformation better. I've got no objections. FutureQuincy (talk) 05:40, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) I agree with what everyone else has stated above.-- 05:42, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

NaNaNa Najahkoop
This image has a lot more detail and is not as elongated!!
 * 1) Proposer!!
 * 2) Much better than what we currently have.
 * 3) A good view of his face. Naruto 45 (talk) 02:48, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) The Quincy agrees. Much better. FutureQuincy (talk) 02:54, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) His head is a bit oddly angled, but it's better than the current.
 * 6) Agree,d it fits better.  15:15, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Sure, why not. Plus, dem teeth.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:49, February 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 8) Late to the party, but I'd say go for it.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:40, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

Ganju Shiba
The image for Ganju's profile features him as slightly battle worn. Both of these images feature him in two different versions of his typical attire, as Ganju is known to change it depending on the circumstances. These images are also .png's, therefore they are better used in the slimming down process that wiki users tend to use for infobox pictures. ☆  Syler   私は理解していない！ 私は理解していません  22:12, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 1 - his attire is not as common as the 2nd proposal, but I prefer this one. ☆  Syler    私は理解していない！ 私は理解していません  22:12, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Neither of those are acceptable replacements for the current image!! EDIT: Also they are both illegal images!!
 * 2) Yeah, these two images have Ganju looking at the screen, plus weird camera angles, zooming, and in one case his arm is a distractor. Also, neither image conforms to the Bleach Wiki:Image Policy as they both do not have FUR or licensing.
 * 3) See above.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:34, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

Shunsui Kyōraku & Jūshirō Ukitake vs. Coyote Starrk
At the moment, the profile picture for this article does not feature Ukitake in it. The three alternatives presented show all characters involved in the battle. 11:48, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 1 - all combatants are clearly distinguishable.  03:18, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 3- I feel this is a better view.

Going on a little long for this, chose the second one as can see them more clearly without bad background!! Archiving!!

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Sōsuke Aizen
Alright, so this has been bugging me for some time now. The current main image for Ichigo vs. Aizen has 1. no actual fighting going on, 2. a close-up of Aizen with part of his head obscured and a lot of it in shadow, and 3. a zoomed-out shot of Ichigo standing in the background. On top of not really being a good image for the fight, I don't think that does justice for one of the most important fights of the series. The first alternative I've put up shows Ichigo and Aizen clashing in a shot that shows both of their new forms, but it has that trademark Pierrot quality of low quality on both combatants. The second one, however, also show them clashing, and shows both relatively evenly. Additionally, it's also a shot from the original chapter, so that helps.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:30, February 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2 is my preference here.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:30, February 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 2 look's the best for the page.Naruto 45 (talk) 00:39, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Proposal 2. Shows the two clashing up close and better represents the actual fight. Definitely gets the job done. FutureQuincy (talk) 00:44, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Gonna go with 2 here. The current is so.... meh. And 2 is the better of the proposals.
 * 5) Gonna have to go with 2 as well.-- 05:18, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Proposal 2 --
 * 7) Proposal 2. My vote isn't really necessary since the support for 2 is so overwhelming... But I'll vote anyway. Number 2 depicts the fighting accurately and shows the characters in more detail.  10:53, February 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Since the overwhelming numbers for this show that Option 2 is the best, I've changeed and Archived this!!

Zangetsu (Quincy Powers)
So, the current profile image for Yhwach!Zangetsu portrays him from a side-and-bottom angle of sorts, doesn't have him looking at the camera, and doesn't really show his full face. Meanwhile, the proposal has him facing the camera, and shows his full face and a bit more of his upper torso.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:12, February 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:12, February 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely much better than what we currently have.
 * 3) I AM VOTING BECAUSE I WAS TOLD TO VOTE AND I AM A MINDLESS MONKEY! The proposal is better, though.
 * 4) Dat lens glare.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  03:47, February 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Same as above. Naruto 45 (talk) 04:01, February 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Voting, so I can let everyone know I'm not quite dead yet. But yes, I agree with everyone else, the proposal is better. Arrancar109  (Talk)  05:57, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Tatsuki Arisawa Pre-Time Skip Profile Image
I think the Proposed is better, there are no obstacles in the foreground and the expression is much more natural.

If possible, could someone get a higher res image for the proposed?
 * 1) Proposer.
 * 2)  I don't really like either since the current has a strange expression on her face and the proposed is somewhat too unfocused. However, out of the two I prefer the proposed since it has a more natural expression.  18:52, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Not really going to get much better and natural for pre-timeskip for her and it looks better zoomed in!!
 * 4) Expression looks more neutral and is more focused on her face.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  20:05, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) To be honest, it's not much better of an option, but it's probably the best we'll find. And the original has that weird expression going on.

Guenael Lee
So, the current picture annoys me very much with Isane's hair obstructing it, the speech bubble and Guenael not directly facing the camera. With the new chapter there is a new option. This picture, though not showing as much of his head, gives a clearer view of Guenael. 13:40, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Well, I obviously support it and I've stated my reasons above. 13:40, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

Neither one is great for a profile image. I'd prefer a picture that does not cut out his hair and whatever those circles are on his head. Though we may not get such a picture. 12:56, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Yyp on this one. We should wait to see if something better appears.-- 13:13, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

I also agree with Yyp the current picture is the best we have, not to mention that the proposed is too close up to the point where his hair is cut out. Mr.Rig and Zig 22:44, March 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1)  I've pretty much stated my reasons above. Mr.Rig and Zig 22:46, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) The new one isn't that great, and there won't be any new ones, I don't think.

Pepe
The profile image of the mind-controlling guy that we now know as Pepe has been bugging me for a while, and thankfully this week's chapter has provided a much more suitable alternative. While Pepe's current profile is a smudgy close-up of his face from the side, my proposal is from the front, is much higher quality, and is zoomed out to show off that kickass beard and...wifebeater, it looks like. Probably the best we'll get of him bar a high-def shot of his head in a future chapter.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) - As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Huge improvement.
 * 3) I agree this one is much better. Naruto 45 (talk) 02:21, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) gud
 * 5) Better falls in line with the guidelines.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  03:02, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) I think its better then what we have for sure.--
 * 7) My vote Is completely unnecessary because of the overwhelming support it already has, but I'll vote anyways because it's so much better. -- 10:00, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Ashisogi Jizō (Zanpakutō spirit)
As I recall, a character's profile image is supposed to focus on their head and possibly upper torso instead of showing their entire body. With that in mind, I propose we change Ashisogi Jizō's profile image. While the current image is a medium resolution picture of his full body, the proposal shows his head and shoulders in more details, as well as cutting out a lot of the wings.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Fits within the rules more.
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) better fit for what we want.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Much better. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Gonryōmaru (Zanpakutō spirit)
Since there's only one episode where Gonryōmaru appears in the sunlight, I'm making do with him appearing at night. While his current profile image has him turned slightly away from the camera and has a ton of space on either side of him, the proposal is much more focused, and has him facing forward.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Far better
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Much improved  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Works much better than the current. I'm on board. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hyōrinmaru (Zanpakutō spirit)
This change is probably the most important out of all of them. Hyōrinmaru's current profile image has him at an angle, in shadow at night, and off to the side. No. Just no, no, no. The proposal, meanwhile, shows him facing the camera head-on, is focused at the center, and has him in regular lighting while still showing his head and shoulders and such.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Reasons already stated
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Better hands down.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Definitely an improvement. It's got my vote. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Muramasa (Zanpakutō spirit)
While Muramasa's current profile image does have him in good lighting, facing forward, etc., it has that trademark Pierrot quality of having an oddly-shaped face; specifically, Muramasa's head and mouth are thinner than how they usually appear in the anime, and his expression is just...strange. Plus, he has a large amount of space on either side of his head devoted to his fluffy collar, something I don't feel is necessary. Both proposals show him in his usual appearance, but one is slightly darker and shows some more of the top of his head and such, while the other has him in full daylight, but cuts off the top of his head so you can only see the sides and bangs. Still though, full daylight and all that.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) I prefer Proposal 1 myself. Despite it being slightly darker, it shows some more of his head, and he usually looks slightly irked anyway.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 1 - both are better than the current. Shading on 2 isn't as good though
 * 3) proposal 1 works best.--
 * 4) For the reasons above
 * 5) Both proposals are good, but I'm going to go with 1. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Senbonzakura (Zanpakutō spirit)
As above, Senbonzakura's current profile image does have him facing forward and in somewhat good lighting. However, the focus is what's wrong here; his head is relegated to the very top of the image, while his shoulders and breastplates take up a large portion below, leaving his head somewhat hard to see in detail. As such, I've found two alternatives; the first proposal shows his mask (which is basically his face, let's be honest here) in much greater detail and shows his bangs and part of his neck, while the second proposal, while of a somewhat lesser quality, shows his entire head and his hair, which is good.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Between the two, I prefer Proposal 1 because it focuses on his "face" in greater detail, and still shows a fair amount of his hair in the process. Scratch that, I'll cast my vote on Proposal 2 because it makes more sense to show his entire head.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 2 - both are good, but I like that 2 shows his entire head, including the headpiece
 * 3) proposal 2 works best.--
 * 4) Only proposal 2 is worth considering.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Proposal 2. It shows a lot more of Senbonzakura's features. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Sode no Shirayuki (Zanpakutō spirit)
Sode no Shirayuki's current profile image is...ech. She's off-center, it has that weird 232 sort-of proper lighting, and there's a lot of her upper torso in the image that doesn't need to be there. Hence, my proposal: she's centered, the lighting is better, and her head is the focus of the image. Plus, that quality.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) More direct in the way she's facing
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Proposal is a better picture, dont really need say anything more  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) I probably should have done this one myself. Anyway, the proposal is excellent, and it's got my vote. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109  <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Tobiume (Zanpakutō spirit)
Tobiume's current profile image shows her at nighttime, facing her body away from the camera, and with those duller colors and such. We can do better. My proposal shows her in proper lighting, facing the camera, and with bettererest colors.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Overall better
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Improvement  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Much better. I was getting tired of the night shot. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109  <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Kōga Kuchiki
Kōga's current profile image is...lacking, to say the least. It is somewhat zoomed out, has him standing at a slight angle, and leaves him looking like an idiot with his mouth hanging open like that. My proposal is a more detailed close-up of his face, showing his eyes and his hair while leaving his mouth closed and showing his shoulders and neck. Can't fix that gross skin, but oh well.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) In the original the broken mouth cover always looked like decaying skin to me. This fixes that
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Not sure why the body angle is mentioned when it is the same in the proposal, but the rest is valid and better, though it would be even better if the top of his head was not cut off.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) This guy is ugly, no matter what you do. I'm voting for the change. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109  <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Narunosuke
Narunosuke's current profile image breaks a lot of rules. It's at night, has him facing about 40 degrees away from the camera, and shows him after he transformed into a Tōjū. Meanwhile, my proposal has him facing the camera during the day, and shows him how he appears throughout most of the episode - in bandages. I know we don't like it when characters have wounds in their profile images, but in this case he's literally got bandages on for most of his appearance, so...--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) It's better than the current. The bandages are kinda meh, but still
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) There is less wrong with this proposal than there is with the current picture, so support.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) As much as I want something better, I know Xil well enough to know this is the best the anime has to offer, so I'm voting for it. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109  <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
