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 April 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, 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.

See Bleach Wiki:Voting for more rules and guidelines.

Isshin Kurosaki: Flick



 * 1)  While we haven't seen much of Isshin's power yet, this picture makes us glad he's on our side. We haven't seen a one-fingered attack since the Soul Society arc, and it's kind of refreshing to see this sort of thing again. Maggosh 13:46, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I have to give my vote to this pic. It really shows off two things, first it shows how insanely strong Isshin is if he can fight with just a flick of his middle finger. Second, it shows that even though he is insanely strong he is still a very goofy character and that is reflected in the way he fights--Godisme  (Talk)  20:08, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  I'd have to go with this picture, as it shows how "seriously" Isshin initially handled his fight with Aizen, and while the picture itself doesn't really show the effect of Isshin flicking his finger, there's usually a description of the scene that goes with the Featured Picture isn't there? Prophet of Sanghelios 03:25, April 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) While I think it's a very good picture, he starred in last month's featured picture, and has a good chance of being the featured article of this month. Better to spread the joy, I always say.  Weedefinition   (Talk)  13:31, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) What's in the picture, honestly? Just because the moment is funny, doesn't make it worth being featured. In past months, we have used pictures that depict turning points in the manga, this doesn't. This one just has Isshin flicking his middle finger, without the context, the picture alone is meaningless, it tells you nothing. And the panel is too small and has too much "noise" lines around Isshin that make it not nice to looke at. More important things have happened in the story than Isshin flicking his finger. -- Lia Schiffer   (Talk)  20:04, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Kamishini no Yari: Moment of Release



 * 1)  I like this picture because it shows how destructive a little sword can be. It also shows the moment we were waiting for, Gin's bankai, so this has to be in the spotlights! Almatsumoto 16:40, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Aizen and the Hōgyoku United



 * 1) No one was uploading it, so I had to upload it myself. I think if we want to talk about significant moments, than after Isshin's appearance, the next meaningful moment is this one. The next chapters could prove me wrong, but for now that's my vote.  WD   Talk to me  06:39, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Gin vs Ichigo:Sword Clash



 * 1)  I like it 'cause it's an important battle and Ichigo is fighting at a somewhat equal level with Gin. --| WhiteArmor | (Talk) |-- 22:30, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1)  I have to oppose this pic. With the lines drawn as such, it is hard to make out what is happening in here without really looking close. Also, this pic is nothing but a pic. It contains no insights to the plot or anything. It is just a frame of the fight between Ichigo and Gin which at this point has been nothing more than a fight between two characters. The plot significance is not much--Godisme  (Talk)  07:16, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki: Flick

 * 1)  Nothing beats the MiddleFingerOfDeath!!!  BlazeUchiha  11:07, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a valid reason.


 * 1) I have to agree with Lia Schiffer. It's just an funny picture without any important meanings. I have to say it's a funny picture, but it's not worth it to stand in the spotlights... Almatsumoto 16:19, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) It is a good picture but it just doesn't qualify for a feature. There might be better pictures and getting this as a feature would be disappointing. It's a funny pic, no more.Tensa Zabimaru 10:10, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Kamishini no Yari: Moment of Release

 * 1)  i support this one because though i have nothing against Isshin, i love Gin much much more.  Also, This is the first time we've seen Gin's Bankai!  It's a major point in the storyline this month so far. Noodles386 18:49, April 14, 2010 (UTC)Noodles386

 * 1)  This one is too plain and too simple to deserve the title of featured picture ItzBlitz 01:44, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * User does not meet criteria for vote (has not been active in contributing to the wiki's articles.


 * 1)  To be honest, I don't like this image, mainly due to the fact that it's static. It's not exactly dynamic to me. Maggosh 17:08, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Multiple vote.

Gin vs Ichigo:Sword Clash

 * 1)  Because this has Gin in it!  Tinni   (Talk)  05:44, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a valid reason.


 * 1)  Honestly, the composition with all those lines makes it seem cluttered. And, in my opinion, Gin isn't a valid reason. Not by 13 kilometers. Maggosh 14:26, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
