Chōjirō Sasakibe
So, I was thinking of adding a second profile pick to Chōjirō's page's infobox. Showing him in his younger days, similar to what we did to Yamamoto. Timjer (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) looks good to meEdanakas (talk) 22:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I support this. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:56, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Huh, thought we'd already integrated that into his infobox...but I uploaded it to be there, so yeah!--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Looks good.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Mask De Masculine
Long time coming on this one - Mask was probably the most egregious victim of the colored manga using the colors from chapter 547's spread and never correcting them to 640's because, well, his face is mostly color (and it's a pretty crappy combo, too). Thankfully, unlike with Bazz-B the anime does use the right colors for him, and we've already got a good shot of him. Maybe a more high-definition replacement will come along (optimally in lighting that isn't fricking overcast for once), but for now I think this will do.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Timjer (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) It fine. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:42, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Driscoll Berci
First multi-choice in a while (and I don't see this particular character getting another one, ever, so why not?) The one good facial shot we got of this crisp man in the manga was pretty zoomed-in on his face at the expense of his hair and shoulders, in addition to having his hand in the way, and now we have alternatives that resolve one or both of those problems - Proposal 1 zooms out to show his entire head + shoulders but keeps the hand and is at a slight angle, while Proposal 2 is fully frontal with no hand but has Driscoll himself looking down and cuts off his hair a bit. Variables!--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Gotta go with Proposal 2 here - looks and feels better to have him truly centered, even if he's not looking right at the camera, and the background is full of bloody bodies just to set the mood.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) For Proposal 2 as well.09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Proposal 2.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) For some reason I can't see the other proposals on here, but I agree that Proposal 2 fits.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Proposal 2 all the way. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:46, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Jugram Haschwalth
First good shot of Jugo, though not without its flaws - still overcast/muted lighting and his face is...a little wonky? I don't know about the chin...--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Actually gonna vote this one down with some additional consideration, the manga suffices for now with the on-modelness and color.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm not sure what the hell is going on with Jugo's hair here.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, the manga wins out in this case. That anime shot is simply bad. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:43, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (Young)
Honestly I myself could go either way with this. The manga image was perfect enough as it is, and the anime one is rather zoomed in. I'll leave it up to others to decide. Timjer (talk) 12:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh, I forgot about this one. Yeah, gotta default to the manga since it shows his entire head (and the fact that he used to have hair!)--Xilinoc (talk) 17:14, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Manga is just better. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Cyan Sung-Sun
Lastly is good ol' Sung-Sun. As above, the Current has colors, but the Proposal is zoomed in/focused on her and has some more detail for her mask fragments.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) This is the one TB anime profile image I think works. Sung-Sun's character design is pretty black-and-white-focused to begin with, so the darker tones don't affect much, and the manga image needing to include part of Mila Rose and Apacci just to meet the size requirements for the infobox always irked me; now we have a version that cuts them out entirely! Oh, and the extra detail on her face is appreciated as well.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I wish the anime image were a little less fuzzy, but it still fits the profile picture guidelines better than the manga one.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) For me, the manga wins out only because of the distance of the shot. You get to see a bit more of Sung-Sun in the image. Plus the colors are more pleasing. The anime has no text bubbles, but that the only pro. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Yhwach
Didn't expect to get a good shot of the main man so soon, but here we are. It's surprisingly 1:1 with the current manga pic despite not being the same moment - just a bit more zoomed in, Swaggy Y.H.'s smirking instead of stoicing, and of course overcast lighting instead of neutral coloring. (oh, and if anyone complains that this isn't the real guy - neither is the manga pic and we have precedent for using imitators as profile images)--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As usual, I'd love to get a BRIGHTER shot from the anime one of these days, but I think this is fine; nice to finally have a higher resolution main image for Yhwach, and he's usually smirking instead of frowning anyway.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Also agreed. Timjer (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) It is fine for now; I suspect we will get a superior candidate very soon, however.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The manga shot just feels superior. It brighter and overall makes Yhwach cooler compared to the proposed. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:45, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Bambietta Basterbine
Haaaaaaaaaa...now this is a character that will definitely get more discussions in the future, mainly due to her ever-alternating design. For those who don't remember or weren't around for the weekly chapter releases, for whatever reason Kubo alternated between drawing Bambietta like a 14-year old and drawing her like a 22-year old - the latter came after the first invasion, and the two looks would sometimes swap during chapters for extra confusion. She's not actually aging up and down either, so it wouldn't make sense to do a dual profile image setup like for characters we see at different ages...so basically, we gotta pick whichever one fits her better overall.

Back in the day, we settled for the adult look since that's more or less where she stuck at, but I figured people would complain if we didn't at least put up the first proper shot we've gotten of her in the anime for debate, so here we are. Visual age difference (and lack of gold trim on the cap) aside, this doesn't have any objections from me aside from the dang lighting - it looks like the anime is preserving the colored manga's purple hair for Bambi, so that's not a factor here either. What say you all?--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The lack of a speech balloon is a big plus for me. Besides, we can always still replace it if we find a better one in the future. Timjer (talk) 12:39, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I must be an idiot because somehow Bambi's age-morphing has escaped my notice all these years. Still, I do prefer the anime image we have here; we have a better view of her entire head, no speech bubble, and her expression is about as neutral as it is ever going to be.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Given a choice between these two, I have to go with the Current one for the better lighting and showing her in her adult styling.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Manga pic looks a lot better.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree with Xil on this one. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:48, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin

 * 1) It may just be me, but I like the original better. Shows the smoldering, charred blade better. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Timjer. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, I prefer keeping the manga for this one.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjitsu Gokui

 * 1) This one, on the other hand, I do like more. So, with the GIF uploaded early my vote goes to Proposal 2. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) While I do wish we could see more of Yamamoto's head clearly, but the anime has a nice appeal to it. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:51, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, I prefer the anime for this one, namely since it shows the "shape" that the fire cloak takes rather than just what could be a shot of Yama on fire/really mad.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin
Soul King Almighty, this was awesome and terrifying! I suppose this is good enough until we perhaps have a gif to use.Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The anime is more horrifying, and I love it strictly for that. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:52, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, the anime will make a fine replacement with those red skellingtons.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin

 * 1) Much better. Now it's a lot clearer what this technique actually does, tbh. Timjer (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The gif is much better. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger

 * 1) As proposer; not much to say here. Timjer (talk) 14:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Gif all the way. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:30, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Zeidritz

 * 1) Neutral - Now that I've compared them directly, I'm iffy on using the finalized design in higher quality or a properly colorful version. Will leave it up to others.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The manga is superior. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:33, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hubert

 * 1) Neutral - Now that I've compared them directly, I'm iffy on using the finalized design in higher quality or a properly colorful version. Will leave it up to others.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As much as I dislike the speech bubbles, the manga has better brightness and has no characters in the background. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Argola

 * 1) Neutral - Now that I've compared them directly, I'm iffy on using the finalized design in higher quality or a properly colorful version. Will leave it up to others.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Manga is better only due to brightness. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:36, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Genshirō Okikiba
Ah yes, the guy we didn't get a proper shot of on the anime side until, like, 3 episodes after his actual debut. This is a rare case of the anime adapting a manga panel 1:1, right down to the tiniest details in the hair...the one caveat is that it has that damn flashback filter over it, so it's grainy and sorta grayed-out rather than being depicted in clear, proper color.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Gonna have to go with the manga here due to the color, higher detail around the neck, and overall clear look to it. The only real improvement that the anime made is the eyes, which isn't a big deal when he's not even facing the camera.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Xil. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 02:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Nelliel (child form)
It's a picture change for Nel, one of my favorite characters! Shinjutsuke (talk) 13:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer. Shinjutsuke (talk) 13:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Actually, the proposal was the original picture we used until we agreed that it wasn't accurate and we replaced it. See, the manga and the TYBW anime give Nel green hair, as Kubo intended. But the anime pic you propose shows her with blue hair instead, which is less accurate. Timjer (talk) 14:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, I'm content sticking with the manga where she isn't crying as much.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Both proposals are nice, but for now the current version is the most optimal IMO. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 04:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Senjumaru Shutara

 * 1) All for it; so much better. Timjer (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) No contest! Xeno Gotenks (talk) 04:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Absolutely, so glad we finally have a shot of her with detail on the face.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) I think the proposal looks better than the current image.Shinjutsuke (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Kirio Hikifune

 * 1) All of the yes. Timjer (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Again no contest! Xeno Gotenks (talk) 04:37, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) But of course!--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Shinjutsuke (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Tenjirō Kirinji

 * 1) Many of these are great, but I must choose Proposal 3 since it has a good angle on his face and I like his facial reaction. Proposal 4 would have been perfect, but the thumb is a bit too obstructive. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 04:43, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I have to go with Proposal 3 as well - my goal was to find a shot that showed his ridiculous pompadour in addition to his face at a reasonable angle, and that's what best fits the bill right now.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Going with Proposal 3 because of his Pompadour. Shinjutsuke (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Having thought about it, Proposal 3 sounds good. Timjer (talk) 19:38, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Jackie Tristan

 * 1) Defintley have to go wth the proposal, character is angled better and unlike the current you can see the character's facial features clearer.Greatsage (talk) 19:04, November 29 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Off-model.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) The proposal definitely has better brightness to it, but the the current one wins out as Xil just stated. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:58, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Shinjutsuke (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki

 * 1) Found this one while rewatching the series, its higher quality and you can see the entire face if not we can post to image gallery.Greatsage (talk) 19:17, November 29 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Very off-model with a weirdly long face.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Current one is better since Isshin is looking directly at the viewer and nicely animated. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 01:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Shinjutsuke (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Kirio Hikifune (slim/true form)

 * 1) I'd say Proposal 2 so far. Timjer (talk) 19:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely Proposal 2. Shinjutsuke (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, Proposal 1 is the direct scene equivalent, but Proposal 2 just...looks better, I think bc her chin is normal.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:09, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) I also say Proposal 2 for this. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:04, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Shunsui Kyōraku

 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 19:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Shinjutsuke (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Anime wins out because of the hairpins.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:09, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Both are great, but the hairpins do stand out. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:06, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Kenpachi Kiganjō

 * 1) It's not that much better, but it's still better IMO. Timjer (talk) 10:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Shows his head and shoulders at a proper distance - the flashback grain isn't ideal, but with no perfect scan of the MASKED page it's still better than that overall.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:25, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Mera Hiuchigashima

 * 1) As proposer, I'm going with Proposal 2 because it looks better and shows off more of her hair and clothes. Shinjutsuke (talk) 12:33, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Also for Proposal 2. Timjer (talk) 14:09, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Proposal 2 gets my vote as well. So glad we can pivot away from the manga close-ups for the Sword Five...--Xilinoc (talk) 08:25, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Masaki Kurosaki (Young)
So glad we can finally replace this one...the blood and rain are not it. First option is front-facing but has...the meat, and the second is clear but at an angle.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Now, neither anime option is perfect (and I promise there weren't any more good ones in this ep), but I personally prefer Proposal 2 for the unobstructed view.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) for Proposal 2 as well. Timjer (talk) 09:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Going with Proposal 2. Shinjutsuke (talk) 10:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Ryūken Ishida (Young)
It's time for detail! First option shows the full head but in darker lighting, second is a bit cut off but has proper lighting. Make your choice!--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2 gets my vote here for the lighting.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) for Proposal 2 as well. Timjer (talk) 09:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Kanae Katagiri
Let's get this poor woman out of the rain! First option is cut off at the top but front-facing and neutral, second shows her full head at an angle and with a happy expression.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Because we mainly see her solemn, Proposal 1 gets my vote.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) for Proposal 1 as well. Timjer (talk) 09:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) 'Proposal 1

Ichibē Hyōsube

 * 1) Proposal 2; at least it does not have his thumb in the way. Timjer (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) For now Proposal 2, though hopefully something a bit more straight forward comes along. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 04:39, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm actually gonna go against the grain here and pick Proposal 1 - while I don't love the thumb (believe me, I wish there were a frame of that shot without his hand raised), I do prefer him looking directly at the camera and not having his B E A R D dominating the shot (Proposal 2 is better suited as his portal pic, imo).--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Gonna go with Proposal 2 here! Shinjutsuke (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Izumi Ishida
Turns out her second and final appearance did give us a better option! Front-facing, full head, proper expression, etc.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Option 4 gets my vote now.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Agreed for Option 4. I'll add it right now, took me long enough to notice it... Timjer (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Shūtetsu Nagakiso
I...I don't even think there needs to be an explanation for this one.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) For the anime, at long long last.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
