Tōshirō Hitsugaya vs. Shawlong Koufang
I'm not a fan of how the current image for this fight randomly has Rangiku in the background despite her not participating in it and how Hitsugaya and Shawlong are kinda off to the side, so I found a suitable replacement that focuses on them and is of higher quality, both in terms of the px and in the art of the scene itself.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:56, September 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:56, September 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Better quality, and no unnecessary Rangiku.
 * 3) Same pose, but strictly better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki & Uryū Ishida vs. Ulquiorra Cifer: Final Fight
I'm not a huge fan of the current image for this fight, since it's primarily Ichigo and Ulquiorra moving toward each other instead of actually fighting. Additionally, most of the battle involves them in powered up forms, e.g. Segunda Etapa and White 2.0 Ichigo's fully Hollowfied form, so I decided that an image showing them clashing while in their fully powered-up forms would be appropriate for this battle. However, since the only decent frame of them doing so is part of a filler extension (goshdarnittoheck Pierrot), I've also included a second proposal uploaded by Sun many moons ago that shows them clashing in their base forms and which is nice and focused, although I personally prefer my proposal because it differentiates this battle from Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Ulquiorra Cifer.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As uploader and proposer, I support Proposal 1 becoming the new main image for this fight article.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 1 - pretty much what Xil said about 2 being too similar to the earlier fight.
 * 3) Proposal 1 - I don't think that it matters that it's a filler shot too much.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Lille Barro
No text, zoomed out more to show his whole head, no hood obscuring the hat, etc. Very little needs to be said about why I'm proposing this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:52, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:52, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) I like the proposal alot more than the current profile image. Mr.Rig and Zig 23:58, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) For obvious reasons.

Giselle Gewelle
better angle of her looking forward, more of her head in the pic, and less awkward with gaping mouth. also no annoying speech bubble.--Seigheil (talk) 16:20, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) this is not a good profile picture of her, it is a picture of her going nuts in th heat of battle!!
 * 2) One of the important criteria of a good profile picture is a more or less neutral facial expression.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) The facial expression looks very forced/unnatural, and the angle at which it is drawn is also putting me off.
 * 4) There's probably a better alternative in one of the chapters she's appeared in. This is not it, for the reasons listed above.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:08, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Sode no Shirayuki
The current main image for this battle isn't very good. It's focused primarily on their heads and faces, and doesn't actually show any combat, or even any other parts of their bodies. As such, my proposal has Ichigo actually attacking Sode no Shirayuki in such a way that you can see both combatants.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:06, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:06, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah it's better than the current one.
 * 3) Neither are perfect, but the proposal is better than the current one. I'd prefer it if there was one that showed both of them clearly, but I'm sure you'd have posted that if you came across it in your picture hunting.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) For reasons already stated.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Rukia Kuchiki vs. Sode no Shirayuki
Currently, the main image for this battle consists of Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki...staring at each other. That's really about it. Because of this, I've posted an alternative that shows them actually fighting and stuff, as well as more of their bodies. It helps that it has a nice sense of flow to it.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:20, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:20, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) I actually prefer the current one as they look like adversaries there facing off!!
 * 2) I see no major reason to change it. Its fine as is. A face off rather than clash is okay. The important thing is that it shows the characters involved clearly. Doesn't matter if they're not clashing blades in the picture. Lots of Bleach fights full of pauses to chat anyway.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Face offs are fine, and stuff.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Askin Nakk Le Vaar
I think the picture from chapter 599 would fit better than this current one, in which he doesn't have his pronounced cheekbones and the shape/proportions of his face and hair seems a little off. Granted the proposed picture it not a full shot of his entire head but still i think its better, plus pages like Driscoll's or Gremmy's don't have the full shots of their heads, but mostly the face, yet those fit well. --Cross of Scaffold (talk) 19:00, October 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As a proposer, I support this change.--Cross of Scaffold (talk) 19:00, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Driscoll has a non-full shot of his head because that's the only close-up, frontal shot we have of him in the manga, and Gremmy's just another story entirely, but that's beside the point. Askin's current image is fine. It's from the front, it shows basically all of his head (including his hair), and he's looking at the camera. The proposal has the top of his head cut off and shows him from an angle. I honestly don't understand why so many people oppose using that as his main image, but I certainly oppose this change because the proposal simply doesn't meet our guidelines as well as the current one does.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:21, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Not to say that the current is great, but it is superior to the proposal, so I oppose this change. Keeping my fingers crossed for a better pic soon though.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) He look ridiculous either way, his current profile picture just looks less ridiculous. Mr.Rig and Zig 19:41, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Not that it particularly matters, but I am going to be contrary here. The proposal has him facing forward, more so than the current image, in which he is looking upward. Both images are from different angles, but it is considerably more noticeable in the current one. I think it is also worth noting that the proposal is considerably more detailed, as the current image does a rather poor job of depicting his facial structure, particularly his distinct lips, chin, and cheekbones. There is not much to see of his hair anyway, and at the very least, the proposal features his hairstyle's most distinct feature.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Yachiru Kusajishi
Yachiru never really has any good profile stances but I think the new one far outweighs the current one we are using for her n the pre-time skip section!!


 * 1) - Proposer!!
 * 2) This'll do, I suppose.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:12, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed
 * 4) Yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:45, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Much better. Arrancar109  (Talk)  21:07, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Her mouth looks a bit far up in the new one, but it's much better despite my possible insane mind seeing something that isn't there.

Gin Ichimaru
Gin's current profile image has a couple issues, jpg format notwithstanding: it's at an angle and a good chunk of his hair/head is out of view. As such, my proposal shows him directly from the front and with his entire head, as well as a bit of his shoulders and chest, in view.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:20, December 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:20, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Giving this some activity! In all seriousness, I do think the proposed fits our standards better.
 * 3) Also yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:45, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) I don't feel that strongly on this one, but I will say that the proposal meets our standards more than the current. Arrancar109  (Talk)  21:07, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Yes

Ichigo Kurosaki (Post-Timeskip)
From what I've gathered by reading past discussions about Ichigo's profile images, it's best to show him in his most common form - his Shinigami form - which means using a shot of him in Shikai/Bankai. Now, the current image has nothing wrong with it quality, angle, or dimensions-wise; this is a matter of updating. Ichigo's gained a new, and likely permanent, Shinigami uniform in this final arc, and it's very noticeably different from his previous uniform, or most Shinigami uniforms in general, because of its scaled shoulder plate and crisscrossing white bands. Since this is what he's gonna be wearing from here on out, and has been wearing for a good chunk of the arc proper, I'd say that's what we should show him in for his post-timeskip image - he's not going back to the old one. We've even got a color image of the thing, which is a rare blessing in manga.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:29, May 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:29, May 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) The current image we have is still good, and this one I don't particularly like because of the partial logo in the background, it just doesn't look right.
