Kirikaze
While Kirikaze's current profile image does meet the requirements of high quality, good lighting, etc., there's one problem: it's been scrunched horizontally. As such, I believe my proposal is more fitting, as it is not scrunched, focuses more on his head, and actually shows him more head-on than his current profile image does.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Pretty clear reasoning (dat face)
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) For the reasons above
 * 5) Because reasons. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hollow Tōjū
As mentioned far above, we don't generally show a character's full body in their profile image, so I believe the Hollow Tōjū is due for a change. While his current profile image has his full body, doesn't focus on his head, and has him facing slightly away from the camera, my proposal shows him head-on and focuses more on his head and shoulders.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Do I even need to explain this one?
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Better  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Better shot. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:15, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hammer Tōjū
See above because I don't feel like typing the same thing for a third time. Anyways, while the Hammer Tōjū's current image has his full body, doesn't focus on his head, is off-center, etc., my proposal has his head as the focus, is zoomed in, and is centered.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Same reasoning as Hollow Toju
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Better  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Much better than the current. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Bearded Tōjū
See above again. While the Bearded Tōjū's current profile image is a zoomed-out shot of him and his upper body, my proposal is a shot focusing on his face, showing it in more detail while leaving most of the beard and hair.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:26, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Again, same as Hollow and Bearded
 * 3) New proposal works best.--
 * 4) Better pic to use.  11:19, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons above
 * 6) Because reasons. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Byakuya Kuchiki
Though Byakuya's current profile image is pretty detailed and a manga shot, it's a very zoomed-in shot of his face from an angle, and doesn't show a lot of his head. My proposal displays almost all of his head, is from the front, still shows his scarf, and has good lighting, so I think it's a much better fit.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:55, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:55, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure I like the lighting of this image as it makes it more difficult to see the color of his eyes, plus he looks like he's glowing a bit!!


 * 1) Proposal 2 - more centered in the middle, more like a profile image and not as close up and glaring!!

I think I'm going to pass on both of these. Even though the current picture does not technically meet the guidelines, the color contrast and saturation are a great deal better. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  23:27, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with Mohrpheus here, the current is not perfect (no doubt about that), but is better suited than the proposals. 10:49, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Gin Ichimaru
Gin's current profile picture does not show his face from the front. My proposals are all frontal shots with good lighting. 05:00, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 1  05:00, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Please be careful as you uploaded an image over one that already existed!! I fixed it!! Neither of these images improves the quality of the image!!
 * 2) No to options 2 and 3. 4 has lighting issues, his face looks brighter than it should be due to spotlight effect. 1 is best of the new proposals, but it can stay as it is.  10:34, May 6, 2014 (UTC)

Uploaded a newer version higher quality courtesy of Xilly!!


 * 1) I have been ninja'd by Sun and graciously accept my defeat. Anyway, I'm voting for Option 4 because it shows Gin from a frontal view and in good lighting, whereas the current image is just...strange.--Xilinoc (talk) 05:42, May 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 4 because of direct camera angle and less zoom

Jūshirō Ukitake
Its a very odd expression on Ukitake's face, for a character that's usually very kind to people he looks very aggressive here!!


 * 1) Option 1 works for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:59, May 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) That works.  10:51, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

Ulquiorra
So the proposed one has a more direct shot of Ulquiorra's face than what we currently have.


 * 1)  As the proposer.


 * 1) I don't mind a more direct shot, but Ulquiorra's Hollow hole location was moved in appearances after the events of the proposed shot. Personally, I think we should go for a shot either of that nature, or a shot of him with his jacket closed, if we are to go for a new shot of him. Arrancar109  (Talk)  17:47, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

I added another proposal that should work as a replacement.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:51, June 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2 - this one works better than both the others here.
 * 2) Proposal 2 - Darnit Xil, I wanted to add the replacement.
 * 3)  Proposal 2 - you dun been ninja'd--Xilinoc (talk) 18:52, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Proposal 2 - Not particularly fond of how the black background bleeds into his collar and his hair's shadows.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:50, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 is out for the Hollow hole location as Arrancar said, and I agree with Mohrpheus on opt 2. While it is not perfect it is not a terrible pic either and a lot of time was put in to finding one of that quality in the first place, many many pics were ruled out in favour of the current one and the guy hasn't appeared since.  10:23, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Looking at it again, Mohrp and Yyp are right. What we've got works much better.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:22, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Nnoitra Gilga
This has been bothering me for some time now. The current main image we have for this fight is weird: it's a close-up on both combatants, the clash isn't really visible, and Kenpachi's hair is strangely off-model, likely because this was from a filler scene. On the other hand, the proposal shows much more of both combatants and their weapons, better portrays the clash, and is a scene from the manga itself.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:22, June 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:22, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) "vote for of please yes" - Xil, verbatim.
 * 3) No more tentacle hair. Sigh.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:01, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) As per above.

Franceska Mila Rose
Right since I'm doing other images around this arc, I thought I would bring this up!! Mila Rose's profile image was never ever voted upon and if it was, it was lost somewhere!! Also the image that was used was originally meant to be from Episode 166 and thus the description states this!! However it was uploaded with so many different versions as it was subject to edit warring!! Personally, I strongly dislike the current one as not only does it have a whole other person in the background, it looks nothing like the best possible picture we could get for her and shes looking to the side and standing to the side!! I haven't decided which of the options I like but they are just some to start with!!


 * 1) Option 1: It is the best of the three proposed, with no weird camera angling.
 * 2) Option 1 is the best for me. 1 and 3 are both fine, but I think the expression of 1 wins out. Definite improvement over the current pic.  23:32, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) I snooze, I lose. I meant to bring this one up, but things have been crazy for me lately. Anyway, I'm voting Option 1. Best one here, and the only potential shot on this that I didn't find anyway (Sun, you're good at this). Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:06, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 works for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:40, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Loly Aivirrne
Any thoughts on these images, I think they're all a massive improvement!!


 * 1) Option 2 looks the best to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:58, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 2 - Ditto. Option 1 features a less characteristic expression and isn't centered, and Option 3 is all up close and awkward.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:03, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Gonna go with Option 1, here. It has a more natural/stoic expression, where 2 is just a tad less so.
 * 4) Option 1 is most suited in my opinion. 3 has the shading under her eyes which is not great in 2, there is less of the white at the top of her mask fragment visible, which sort of makes it almost blend in with her hair. It's subtle, but for that reason Op1 seems best to me. It can be further cropped to centre it if need be. Good work finding better pics for.  09:47, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 - Changing this as has been a week, my personal preference was Option 1 so changing it!!

Dondochakka Birstanne
Dondochakka's current profile image is set at night, so some of the colors are distorted or muted. In addition, his mask is unusually wide, and he's sorta off to the side. I think we can do better, so the proposal has him centered, is set during the day, has better colors, and is of a higher quality.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:38, August 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:38, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) - Higher quality image!!
 * 3) Current pic is below par but did as a placeholder. This is much better.  11:36, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) This works much better

Toshimori Umesada
Really there has to be something better than the image we are currently using for this character!! Just some I've gotten from the brief scene we have with him!! My issue with the character is that the close-ups we have he has various expressions on his face and so it's mainly the best o a bad bunch!! Or we could go with a distance shot and lose the detail of his wart!! Thoughts here??


 * 1) Option 2: The whatever it is (Uryu's head?) in the bottom corner is a minor annoyance but very easily overlooked. I think Op2 is the best there.  13:35, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 2 works for me as well.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:41, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) This guy never doesn't have a weird expression on his face, it seems. But Option 2 is the closest to a normal one.

Uryū Ishida
Been meaning to get around to this one for a while now, but anyway, Uryū's current pre-timeskip profile has him standing outside at night with his body slightly turned and a scowl on his face. I think we can do better, so my proposal has him indoors during the "day" (Aizen and his silly sky-painting), completely facing the camera, and with a better expression on his face, as well as slightly brighter colors due to the daylight.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:36, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:36, August 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) When looking at the thumbnail, his gaze seems to be a bit downward pointing in the proposal, but it's fine full size.
 * 3) Much better I agree!!
 * 4) The current one looks all awkward and thin and strangely colored. Proposal is much, much better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  01:24, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez: Round Two
Alright, so the current main image for this fight has Ichigo and Grimmjow standing around with the former looking like he's ready for tea-time and the latter remembering that he left the water running back in Las Noches. We can most certainly do better, so my proposal has them actually clashing with those newfangled Zanpakutō things and shows them in better detail.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, August 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, August 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) The current one is just awkward.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:29, August 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) They're actually fighting in this one

Baraggan Louisenbairn
Baraggan's current image has some strangely muted colors, and seems unnecessarily wide height-wise in scope. My proposal has better colors (I couldn't find the episode that the original was even in) and is more focused on Baraggan's face, as well as being of higher quality.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, August 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:08, August 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Indeed, the colors and focus are better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:29, August 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Much better, yah.
 * 4) An improvement.  22:31, August 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Supporting the change. Arrancar109  (Talk)  00:59, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Yes, I agree. -- 04:16, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Findorr Calius
Relatively minor issues with the current image, since you can see his face and it's of high quality, but my proposal has him facing completely forward and doesn't have that weird, slightly-tilted head thing going on.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:02, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:02, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Better angle, and facing directly forward. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:07, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Not that we can really make Findorr look good.....
 * 4) Marginally better.  10:14, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Better follows the policies.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Nianzol Weizol
Alright, 598's managed to provide us with a good alternative to Nianzol's current profile image, which has that text in the way and is a bit too zoomed in for my liking. I'm aware that the proposal doesn't have as much detail on his face, but I'd say that the whole lack-of-text thing and better focus more than makes up for that.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:33, September 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:33, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with thith thange
 * 3) Nothing even needs to be said on this one.  10:14, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Shame we can't just photoshop images, because I prefer the original. I do not believe that is an option though, so...  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Marechiyo Ōmaeda vs. Nirgge Parduoc
Currently, the main image for this genre-defining battle of the ages consists of Marechiyo and Nirgge's faces with strange expressions on them and their swords crossing. That's literally it. As such, my proposal shows their clash with better. zoomed-out focus and more of their bodies in view.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:08, August 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:08, August 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) A little better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) A little better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Yumichika Ayasegawa vs. Charlotte Chuhlhourne
The current main image for this battle is a bit...hard on the eyes. There's a bunch of glowy crap, and the two main combatants are a bit hard to make out; additionally, there isn't even any fighting going on, just a super-duper dramatic release. As such, I've scrounged up four alternatives, each with their own strengths and flaws, as potential replacements.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:58, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Of the four, Option 2 is my personal preference; there aren't any weird afterimages, you can see both combatants clearly without fuzziness, they're actually fighting, and their facial expressions...well, the beginning of the fight is one of the silliest things in the series, so...--Xilinoc (talk) 03:58, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) I get that this fight was maybe 49% comic relief, but Option 2 is a bit too ridiculous. I vote for Option 1.
 * 3) Option 1 -- Pretty much what Schiffy said.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
