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 January 31, 2009. 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.

Shinji Hirako: Inverted World



 * 1)  i believe that it is a great picture. it defines the nature of his ability. Littlekill3r 14:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a good picture at all. You can barely make out that it's Shinji from the thumbnail. Weedefinition 14:17, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Crying



 * 1)  I think this is a key moment in Tosen's as he understands where his quest for revenge has taken him. It is very muted and subtle. But it speaks volumes emotionally. In an manga/anime that is about fighting and taking down the bad guys, it is scenes like this that shows how much depth Kubo puts into his characters, even "bad" guys.--Shinitenshi 18:32, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I support this picture because it depicts Tosen's last moments and the redemption he discovers the first time he opens his eyes. This is truly the first time he has ever see the world in his natural human state, and not as a monster. This picture, to me, is symbolic of rebirth, in the essence that no one is beyond redemption.Grimmjow2 23:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  I move my Support to Tōsen in conjunction with my support of a featured article for him. This picture is a portrayal of his final moments after his defeat, and his relief that Komamura is so forgiving of him as a friend. Beautiful picture.  SerialSniper14  (Talk)  02:10, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4)  No one is beyond redemption, not even those who took " the path with the least bloodshed" Amagai88 20:40, January 26, 2010 (UTC)Amagai88Amagai88 20:40, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Showing emotions, sadness and redemption specially, is something that's hardly seen on a Shonen Manga from a villian that has grown to hate the world so much,  like Tousen did. I just loved how Kubo portrayed his feelings on his last moments. The whole part of Tousen's death was very touching.MidoriPanda 05:25, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple Characters
Photos for scenes featuring multiple characters go here.

Ichigo Kurosaki & Sōsuke Aizen: The Return



 * 1)  I support this picture because it represents a turning point in the manga; after hundreds of chapters, the primary protagonist and antagonist come together once more, in the most unorthodox of ways. The quality of the image is superb; we see Ichigo's determination to end the battle with one blow, and through the detail put into the image, it is almost as if Aizen is clearly aware that Ichigo is behind him. Overall, these details and the effects of the shattering garganta make it very dramatic. Mohrpheus 03:39, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Generic. Ichigo arriving in scene. Nothing impactful, nothing great. If anything, disappointing. We all knew this was bound to happen someday and the way it's depicted did not cause great impression on me, Tite Kubo could have been a bit more creative for such a pinpoint moment. Besides, Aizen looks obscured. In the thumbs he looks blurry, and the full size looks darkened and boring. Lia Schiffer 00:05, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen & Ichigo Kurosaki: Reach your Heart



 * 1)  And that is how you psych out your opponent.  Tinni   (Talk)  07:18, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  When I saw this picture, I was amazed. Despite all the growth Ichigo has made since the battle on SH, Aizen still remains just as out of reach as ever. Totally mindrape on Ichigo.--Black Artist 23:49, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Whooo! Scary!! But also awesome 'cause scary things are usually scary...Almatsumoto 16:35, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Gotei 13 & Vizard: United Front



 * 1)  What can I say? I'm a sucker for group pictures. And this one is most impressive. Weedefinition 14:09, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  "We will fight and protect you" really suits this picture. Go team! DeliManjoo 14:39, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * As thrilling as group pictures usually are, I feel that there have been far too many during this arc; among them, and the other candidates for the month, this one is nothing special. It may sound weird to hear that a group pic could be "cluttered," but the characters in this image are arranged in an awkward way, with some characters too far off and others facing the opposite direction. It just doesn't seem to convey the drama that other group pics did, such as when the Shinigami first arrived in Karakura town, or when Vizards came and donned their masks.

Not A Valid Reason
Tōshirō Hitsugaya: Activating Bankai


 * Just Captain Hitsuguya activating Bankai again; how original of him. He's getting really boring with his Bankai now...it's supposed to be a Captains secret weapon. Glacial Blaze 14:45, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
