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 August 30, 2010. 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, and must have completed and valid and  templates affixed to it 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.

Aizen: ButterflAizen



 * 1) Kudos for whoever came up with this title, but this picture is terrible.  WD   Talk to me  02:26, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ichigo: arrival in karakura town



 * 1) In the past, the featured picture was always a turning point in the story, one that really captured what was to come and I think this is the best for this month. We have all been waiting to see when Ichigo would show up and this was just an epic moment. This is a very good shot of a scene that was quite busy. This deserves to be featured--God  (Pray)  20:13, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) This is terrible picture. It's too busy. Ichigo is at the back and you can't really see him properly. Aizen up front looking like a obstruction and isn't really adding to the picture. I am against it.  Tinni   (Talk)  20:05, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Gin: Final Moments



 * 1) Gin was the first of the "trio" to be introduced and from the start everybody wondered why he was doing what he was doing. For a long time it looked like he was doing it for the "lolz" but then there was always the Rangiku-factor and the mysterious "sorry" when he was being beamed-up by the menos. 200+ chapters later we find out that Gin did it all for Rangiku and that sorry at the end of the "End of Hypnosis" Arc was for the events to come in the "Deicide" Arc because it would appear that deep down inside, Gin knew he wasn't going to succeed. This image wraps-up the story of Ichimaru Gin rather poignantly and therefore, I believe that it is worthy of being the feature for September, which BTW, is the birthday month for all three of us: Gin, Rangiku and me. This would be a great birthday present for Gin, Rangiku and me. ^.^  Tinni   (Talk)  17:33, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  This pic shows the end of one of the most coolest characters in Bleach. We all thought (well most of us) that he was a shady character and the only thing he did was smile follow Aizen around like a puppy. Now we finally find out WHY! It was a good reason, and although it failed, he will always be the most coolest character ever in manga! --Tensa Zabimaru (talk) 07:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  I agree as well this is one of the most iconic moments in bleach, it's one of those images that is engraved in your mind forever.--Lemursrule (talk) 02:46, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1)  While I agree that this is one of the most emotional moments in Bleach, I have a few problems with this picture. For one, I don't think that it captures Rangiku's grief very well. We can barely see her face, so we can't see any of the sorrow she showed just pages later. Because her emotions aren't apparent, the picture loses some of its empathic qualities. Also, I have to question the overall art quality of the picture - it might just be the quality of the scan, but the lining looks a bit off, which makes Rangiku just look weird to me from this angle. A touching scene, but I don't think it stands out enough to be featured this month. Mohrpheus (talk) 04:56, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I think everyone's Gin Obsession is getting the best of them. Take a look at this picture. All it is is Gin laying on the ground and Rangiku hovering in the air above him. We do not see the extent of Gin's injuries nor do we see Rangiku's grief. If you showed someone this picture and asked what it was they would not say it is a man dying and a woman rushing to his side. It is just a woman in mid air and man on the ground. Gin dying was a very tragic moment for most fans but this picture I feel does not capture that.--God  (Pray)  17:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This is undoubtedly an emotional and important moment in Bleach but it would help if the overall quality was better. Also, the focus isn't on Gin. He's off to one side and we have Rangiku kinda "falling" on him. Not the best pic. BlazeUchiha  (Talk)  17:22, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ichigo: Different Forms

 * 1) This should be the new article because the final battle is now about to begin, and the picture shows how ichigo has gotten powerful over time, he started out as a human, to substitute shinigami, to unlocking his power to bankai, to hollow mask, to 2nd form and now to something new, this picture pretty much gives some some sort of tension because the final battle is now about to begin between aizen and ichigo. its also amazing that thats how this whole thing went and now ichigo is about to have the battle of his life Zangetsu20

Ichigo: arrival in karakura town

 * 1) I think that this is a very good picture because it came at pretty much just the right time and shows hoe the whole storyline is going to shift and change direction. Softmint55 (talk) 20:47, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Gin: Final Moments

 * 1)  Freakin emotional, I mean how many people guessed that this is how the end of Gin would take place? I think he deserves a lot more than what he has achieved and by this picture depiction of him and Rangiku being the featured article of the month, it'd definitely give him a lot of praise. Plus September is the birthday month of not only mine, but Gin's and Rangiku's as well XD September baby!!!
