Sinner Szayelaporro
So with the release of the new story obviously come a lot of new character designs. One of the most notable is Szayelaporro Granz as a sinner/demon/hellbeast/whatever. Thing is, which image to you think is best to be added to his page? The first, larger one with the horns, or the second one in which he actually looks at the camera?


 * 1) For Option 1. Timjer (talk) 20:05, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) For Option 2. I'd go with option 2 because while it might be less detailed, it honestly shows a bit more and I don't think the horns are par of his default state. Ti9MK97s (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 2 is what I had in mind when I uploaded these - Option 1 is more fit for his appearance section to illustrate a more specific part of his new appearance, and one he can apparently turn on or off. Additionally, 2 is front-facing and 1 is more three-quarters.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

The Almighty/Expanded Universe
I'm gonna keep this short, but The Almighty/Expanded Universe originally had the profile pic of the SK as a demonstration (Both because of the eyes and because we have nothing better to show for it). But since it's primarily to show the SK's unusual eyes to demonstrate it (considering Haswalth and Yhwach gain similar eyes when activating The Almighty in canon), I was thinking of replacing it with an almost unused pic instead that focuses on the SK's eyes specifically. Timjer (talk) 12:29, 18 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) As the proposer. Timjer (talk) 11:55, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Whoops, only just caught this, my b. Anyway, I agree - the increased focus is better, and the rest of the SK's mannequin head isn't important. Plus, more use for forgotten files is always a win in my book.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Akon
So there's a lot of...not-great things about Akon's long-standing profile image. He's largely facing away from the camera, he's in poor lighting, and his mouth is just hanging open like a doofus. Now, the replacement I've found isn't perfect, but it fully or nearly rectifies at least those three issues to show him more properly, and if nothing else it's a decent placeholder till a more proper one can be located.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 1)  As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) While I don't feel particularly strong about the change, Xilinoc's reasoning makes sense. Timjer (talk) 15:35, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey a lil late to the party, how about this one?Edanakas (talk) 06:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Yeah, I like this one better lol. More akin to his usual look.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:50, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) as proposer. dont you mean...more akon to his usual look. -shot-Edanakas (talk) 16:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Shōta Toyokawa
Came across this in my recent episode binge: Shōta's current pic isn't as bad as some of the ones we've had on here, but it's in nighttime lighting and he's facing somewhat to the side while being off-center. Found a replacement in the very next ep where he's completely centered, facing the camera, and in daytime/indoor lighting. No cons that I can think of unless you're reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally a fan of him wearing a disgruntled Ichigo frown.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree this new option is better than the current one, not to mention better lighting.  23:14, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) - Yup, much better.

Zangetsu (Quincy Powers)
While I don't see much wrong with the current profile pic for Old Man Zangetsu, I feel like my proposal is better. For one, it's a larger image and (my biggest reasoning) it's NOT from a filler arc that kinda breaks the character's entire lore. Just knowing the image from a canon characters is from a non-canon story that outright contradicts later stuff annoys me.


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) As the guy who put forward the current image to replace the long-standing 3/4 profile one...yeah, we should use this one instead, something I didn't know of at the time. I'll admit to being biased in favor of the Zanpakutō arc, but it's still definitively non-canon, and you're right that this replacement is not only bigger, but set in his usual habitat, so to speak; it's also much more focused on his head/face and has more detail to it, in line with the older style of the anime, so no complaints from me.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:52, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Edrad Liones
We've got a unique one here. It took several years of glossing over this on the page (basically until I got the official colored manga that highlighted it) to realize that the anime...flipped Edrad's hair colors from the manga: they made the black, shaved side red and the white (indicating a non-dark color), long side black, when it should actually be black on the shaved side and red on the long side (they also made his eyebrows red when they should be black as well? Pierrot sure made some choices, geez). It's somehow less noticeable than the Rangiku/Orihime/Nelliel/Harribel color changes we've dealt with before, but it's also more egregious because it's not wrong shades, it's outright incorrect placement, and even though it's pretty normalized to my eyes (and I assume many others by now) we should change it for the sake of accuracy. There are two potential replacement shots from the manga, and believe me, I scoured it thoroughly to find workable substitutes; Proposal 1 would readily fit the infobox size without being stretched out/pixelated, but doesn't have him looking head-on or centered, while Proposal 2 is a more standard shot, but is less detailed and only just fits the infobox exactly at 270px (used to be 230px and would've been stretched out, but I discovered that it doesn't incorporate too much text-box if expanded by 20px on either side) - it's also the manga equivalent of the anime scene/shot we've been using, if that helps. Either way, we gotta change it up.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Was going to reluctantly go for 1, but after seeing that it can be reworked to fit without stretching, Option 2 is my choice.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 2 as well. See, Pierrot, this is why we can't have nice things; you guys needlessly changing stuff all the time. Timjer (talk) 22:43, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki
Isshin's long-standing profile image has always bugged me - the quality's good, but he's looking away from the camera, has his head tilted, and has his finger raised up just high enough that you can't fully crop it out without impacting his chin. Since we don't have any good shots of him in his normal Human form (which he spends most of his time in) from the manga yet, I figured I should try bringing up the alternative from episode 142 instead; it's dead center, he's aligned straight, and it's got a good bit more detail to it. I know the towel and hand are a bit jarring, but I feel like that's negligible compared to the improvements.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The current one has always looked a bit comical to me, if that makes any sense. The proposal is definitely an improvement.
 * 3) Agreed, the proposal looks more like a natural expression to me. Timjer (talk) 14:58, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Zanpakutō Spirit
So, as I discussed with Xil, I split the Zanpakutō Spirit page between its canon manga and anime filler sections. Problem is, the manga section still uses an anime filler profile pic. While I agree the picture of Nimaiya's "harem" may look weird, it's still the best we have IMO. After all, it shows several Zanpakuto Spirits at once in a nice group shot and it's not in use for anything else. Timjer (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Had an epiphany as I was writing up an explanation for the initial proposal being the lesser of two evils/adherence to wiki policy (being that it was one of the very, very few group shots for a racial class not prone to such shots by the nature of their being, as well as featuring canon designs, even though it's nameless generic boobie characters who otherwise look like normal Humans/Souls); Nimaiya's forge assistants are also Zan spirits, and they happen to have distinct appearances and names, even if not as exotic as Zangetsu/Zabimaru/Hyōrinmaru/Katen and Kyōkotsu. Initially I was about to write them off because the one proper, zoomed-out group shot of them has Tokie lying flat on the ground and Nimaiya himself fairly prominently viewable, but with the magic of cropping and erasing, the cover page of their introduction chapter that features all their headshots becomes a decent and far less fanservice-filled alternative to the first proposal, volume-added text aside. Obviously, this is something we'd replace as soon as the anime version becomes available, but for now I think this might be the best we've got.


 * 1) Of Proposal 2, as proposer and for the reasons listed above.--Xilinoc (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Of Proposal 2 as well for the same reasons. I have to admit, Xil, that's a much better idea than mine. Timjer (talk) 10:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Baraggan Louisenbairn
To replace Baraggan's Vasto Lorde Profile pic. —This (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with


 * 1) For what little reasoning Tuxedo gave, I do agree this newer pic is better. Timjer (talk) 21:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah.--Xilinoc (talk) 07:09, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Fracción
So I had been wondering if this was the only available option we had for Barragan’s Fracción Choe Neng Poww. So I rewatched the episode and noticed that there were maybe two instances that showed his face close-up, this one was the best one I found that could possibly replace the current one.--Tuxedo12 (talk) 23:40, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) I indeed think the proposition is better. Timjer (talk) 15:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah I support this, focus is better.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree with the above.

Loly Aivirrne
Time to ruin this page having 3,636 edits...okay, so the current profile image we use for Loly is much, much better than the abomination that preceded it for so many years (particularly as the latter wasn't cropped to where it is now), but it has one flaw: she's not facing the camera, and it looks pretty weird to have her looking down/to her right instead of directly forward. So, from the same episode, I've found a still of her doing exactly that which is also more easily centered. I think it'll work out.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:22, 24 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:22, 24 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Same reasons as Xil. Timjer (talk) 06:15, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Rangiku Matsumoto
So, I was thinking about adding this image to Rangiku's profile pics. Namely as one of her in the past (similar to what we have for Yamamoto). The only problem I have is that I'm not sure what to call it in the infobox ("younger", "past", etc.). Timjer (talk) 08:34, 25 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 08:24, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) oh hey, that's what I added it for lol. Anyway, supported, and I was thinking of calling it "past".--Xilinoc (talk) 15:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki
Similar idea as with Rangiku above. Timjer (talk) 08:34, 25 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 08:24, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Also as "past".--Xilinoc (talk) 15:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Zangetsu
So, as you might know, the anime decided to pointlessly give Zangetsu yellow eyes instead of his original white ones. Normally it's a minor issues (unlike Nel's or Rangiku's hair colors...) that I wouldn't think is worth changing the profile pic for. Unfortunately several newcomers have over the times insisted on changing the description of Zangetsu to the anime version; and now apparently one of them decided to complain there's an editing dispute... Tl;dr how about giving Zangetsu an accurate manga profile pic? Timjer (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) So far, as proposer. Timjer (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I do support this, since I think the profile image should include as many accurate elements as possible (hair, eye, even tongue color), but I've tacked on an additional option that better fits our usual profile image template - no intense lines, no gaping mouth, etc. Downside is it's not quite as big, but it'll still meet the size requirements for the template.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Proposal 2 is my choice - using manga colors is important, especially now that we have access to the colored manga and thus a lot more usable images for profile sections.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) I don' t understand why it is being a big deal in most Bleach continuity the anime version is how Zangetsu appears same with Nel and Rangiku. Anyway the original anime has been over for a while now and it is already mentioned on both trivia and description. However, I do understand the other side of this argument so why not add his manga image in his appearance section like what was done with Ukitake's or if not we could just have two tabs for manga and anime for the infobox. I vote for keeping it the way it is and instead either just adding it like I mentioned above.--Tuxedo12 (talk) 20:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2. I've gotten used to the anime image but keeping consistency with the manga is important.

Tier Harribel
So I have been looking for a better image for the Tres Espada Tier Harribel's Resurrección that would would better suit her, and which clearly depicts her face and I believe this is it. This one's features are identical to that of the manga and clearly have the character facing forward, compared to the manga image which appears to be a side glance. Please let me know what you think and if you believe it would work.Tuxedo12 (talk) 16:56, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As the proposer this is my view. Tuxedo12 (talk) 16:53, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) We changed her profile from an anime shot to begin with because the anime lightened her skin color. It may not be an ideal positioning for her, but we're not going back to the anime unless they fix her skin color and give us a good profile shot in TYBW.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Ryūnosuke Yuki
And so the cycle begins anew...it's time for the first round of potential anime replacements for TYBW, starting with the not-protagonist himself. Current has neutral lighting and colors but a frazzled expression, Proposal has a neutral expression and more detail but dark lighting.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Neutral - In this case, I prefer the colors to the detail, but that's not really a strong case for it, so...--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1)  Personally I think the neutral expression and better details outweigh the downsides in this case. Not by much, but it's still there. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  Agreed, it's just visible enough that you can see the details, plus the lack of visible text helps.
 * 3)  While the lighting isn't ideal, it does little to obscure Yuki's futures with any egregious shadows or the like. That aside, his position better meets the profile picture guidelines.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4)  Personally prefer this one to their expression in the Manga!!
 * 5)  for the clear shot and lack of SFX-kana
 * 6)  The proposed image has little cons for me to disagree with. Xeno Gotenks[10/12/22 at 5:53 PM EST]

Shino Madarame
Next up, the other Madarame. Current has neutral lighting and colors but is zoomed out, Proposal has detail + closed mouth but is at an angle and cropped a bit weirdly (to center on her face).--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Neutral - I can see the pros for both, so I won't vote one way or the other.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral, manga shows more, but the anime image quality is equally as good as the manga is detailed. Tough call.


 * 1)  Just like with Yuki, I think the pros outweigh the cons. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Same as with Yuki.
 * 3)  The expression and the lack of action win out for me!! I know it's dark but feels more polished!!
 * 4)  Your reason/comment This picture is good enough to put in as a new addition t the profile picture the resolution is good Enough. NagareFan1 (NagareFan1) 06:51, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 5)  Like some have mentioned, I believe the pros do outweigh the cons. This will do just fine. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:44 PM EST]


 * 1) It feels odd to have one but not the other, but the anime image suffers a lot more in this case. Perhaps it is because it is so zoomed in, but her dark hair and clothing blend more into the dark background.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Quilge Opie
The anime version faces the viewer at least and does not have that text covering part of it. So I'd say it's mostly better. Timjer (talk) 07:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 07:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah...I don't love the lighting we've been getting so far, but considering that the above manga shot was the best shot of him we ever got from the original source material, the anime giving us one that's completely front-facing, shows his full chin + his neck, and doesn't have a sword pointing at him the whole time is enough for me to overlook the duller colors (and hey, at least you can make out the Lennon specs!) Probably the SR second-most in need of updating after all this time...I sure can't wait for the Askin debates to flare up all over again...--Xilinoc (talk) 16:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I can overlook the lighting since you can still make out the colors, plus not having a sword in his face definitely helps.


 * 1) While the manga version is good, but the anime wins only do to no text kanji and sword being in the way. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Asguiaro Ebern
Now, Ivan. Current has color, detail, you name it. Proposal has more detail (and maybe a more refined design for his face?), but really dark lighting since the sun is behind him, making it hard to see details as a thumbnail.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) I'd like to stick with the manga here, the only "downside" is the open mouth but that doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. Shame there isn't really a better option in the one episode that we'll see him in the sunlight.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agree with Xil here. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I'd like to go with the anime in most instances because of the detail but in this case the lighting really doesn't help.
 * 4) The dramatic lightning does not do the image any favors.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Uh oh Salami Toes some of the options aren't great for lighting, this is one that cannot be worked without painfully narrowing your eyes at a profile pic!!
 * 6) Hahaaa... that shading is just really bad for a profile.
 * 7) Like others have said, the manga pic is superior compared to the anime screenshot. The anime shading is too dark. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:46 PM EST]

bit late on this, but what about this? https://imgur.com/a/BIhlcEUEdanakas (talk) 17:36, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the point would be there since it has a bit less detail and is otherwise the same shot.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

wdym? its a better angle imo than the other manga one.Edanakas (talk) 18:35, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Luders Friegen
Finally, not-Kokutō. Current has neutral lighting but is on the smaller side, Proposal has more detail but has blue lighting affecting hues and shadows.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Neutral - it'd be nice to have more detail, but the shadows and blue hue are kinda intense for the Proposal. Can't make up my mind, so I'll stay undecided here too.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Not different enough to compensate for darknes and heavy blues. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Same issue as with Ebern. Hopefully there's less intense lighting one way or the other for the more prominent cast so we avoid this issue later.
 * 3) As with Ebern.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Hope we get a better option from the Anime!!
 * 5) Same problem as Ebern but more localized to the eyes. Really sucks that these are likely the best shots were gonna get in the anime of our two Quincirrancar fodder friends.
 * 6) The anime shot isn't bad, the the lighter tone from the manga wins out in this situation. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:49 PM EST]
