Bleach Wiki:Featured Picture/Feb 2010

'''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 January 31, 2009. 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.

Shinji Hirako: Inverted World



 * Not a good picture at all. You can barely make out that it's Shinji from the thumbnail. Weedefinition 14:17, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Crying



 * 1)  I think this is a key moment in Tosen's as he understands where his quest for revenge has taken him. It is very muted and subtle. But it speaks volumes emotionally. In an manga/anime that is about fighting and taking down the bad guys, it is scenes like this that shows how much depth Kubo puts into his characters, even "bad" guys.--Shinitenshi 18:32, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I support this picture because it depicts Tosen's last moments and the redemption he discovers the first time he opens his eyes. This is truly the first time he has ever see the world in his natural human state, and not as a monster. This picture, to me, is symbolic of rebirth, in the essence that no one is beyond redemption.Grimmjow2 23:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  I move my Support to Tōsen in conjunction with my support of a featured article for him. This picture is a portrayal of his final moments after his defeat, and his relief that Komamura is so forgiving of him as a friend. Beautiful picture.  SerialSniper14  (Talk)  02:10, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4)  No one is beyond redemption, not even those who took " the path with the least bloodshed" Amagai88 20:40, January 26, 2010 (UTC)Amagai88Amagai88 20:40, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I switched my Oppose vote, even if it doesn't count, because I want to make you people notice that it's not only about the significance of the moment, which is obviously very important, but the picture in itself. The angle is terrible and the way his face is cut doesn't look good, visually. Of course Tosen's redemption was an important moment for the character and the story. It's a shame that there wasn't a better picture for Tosen's redemption that could make a good Featured Picture, but I sincerely think that this one looks too randomly cut and has a terrible angle and doesn't fit for FP.

Ichigo Kurosaki & Sōsuke Aizen: The Return



 * 1)  I support this picture because it represents a turning point in the manga; after hundreds of chapters, the primary protagonist and antagonist come together once more, in the most unorthodox of ways. The quality of the image is superb; we see Ichigo's determination to end the battle with one blow, and through the detail put into the image, it is almost as if Aizen is clearly aware that Ichigo is behind him. Overall, these details and the effects of the shattering garganta make it very dramatic. Mohrpheus 03:39, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen & Ichigo Kurosaki: Reach your Heart



 * 1) And that is how you psych out your opponent.  Tinni   (Talk)  07:18, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) When I saw this picture, I was amazed. Despite all the growth Ichigo has made since the battle on SH, Aizen still remains just as out of reach as ever. Totally mindrape on Ichigo.--Black Artist 23:49, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Whooo! Scary!! But also awesome 'cause scary things are usually scary...Almatsumoto 16:35, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) It's the best candidate for this month. This moment shows the climax of the story, Ichigo finally fighting against Aizen's true face, and finding out that despite all the battles he has been through, the man is too far from his reach. Ichigo's expression shows he's realizing the weight he's carrying over his shoulders, as it depends on him landing the final blow on a man that can reach his heart at any moment. Lia Schiffer 20:36, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) You can see how calm Aizen is when he terrifies Ichigo. That's what I call "psychological war"!EmpressMinea 18:18, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't like this picture. It really only served to confirm what we already know. "Aizen is more powerful than Ichigo", that's really all its saying and most of the Bleach fandom knows that. It also shows Ichigo's easily-shakable will and determination, also things most fans are aware of. The point is, this picture shows everything we already know. Had it been in the manga 200 chapters ago, I would have supported it, but it shows nothing new. It's a new year yet this has a concept that has been established years ago. Also, I think Kaname's crying picture deserves more as this is the first instance of him showing any emotions other than annoyance, it is a refreshing concept as opposed to this rathe stale one.

Gotei 13 & Vizard: United Front



 * 1)  What can I say? I'm a sucker for group pictures. And this one is most impressive. Weedefinition 14:09, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  "We will fight and protect you" really suits this picture. Go team! DeliManjoo 14:39, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * As thrilling as group pictures usually are, I feel that there have been far too many during this arc; among them, and the other candidates for the month, this one is nothing special. It may sound weird to hear that a group pic could be "cluttered," but the characters in this image are arranged in an awkward way, with some characters too far off and others facing the opposite direction. It just doesn't seem to convey the drama that other group pics did, such as when the Shinigami first arrived in Karakura town, or when Vizards came and donned their masks.

Shinji Hirako: Inverted World

 * 1)  i believe that it is a great picture. it defines the nature of his ability. Littlekill3r 14:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Crying

 * 1) Showing emotions, sadness and redemption specially, is something that's hardly seen on a Shonen Manga from a villian that has grown to hate the world so much, like Tousen did. I just loved how Kubo portrayed his feelings on his last moments. The whole part of Tousen's death was very touching.MidoriPanda 05:25, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  Tosen finally realizes the error of his ways. He lost his light in his pursuit for revenge without realizing how badly he hurt the ones he left behind. This is redemption before his tragic end. LLight 23:52, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Tōshirō Hitsugaya: Activating Bankai

 * Just Captain Hitsuguya activating Bankai again; how original of him. He's getting really boring with his Bankai now...it's supposed to be a Captains secret weapon. Glacial Blaze 14:45, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a valid reason. User does not meet criteria to partake in this vote.

Ichigo Kurosaki & Sōsuke Aizen: The Return

 * 1)  I fully agree with User:Mohrpheus, the image shows the beginning of the end, the final battle against Aizen. Plus, the quality and detail of the picture is esquisate! It is an image that is truely worthy of being the featured picture of the month. Boogerbaloozoo 22:55, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen & Ichigo Kurosaki: Reach your Heart

 * 1)  Aizen knows how to strike fear. You can see the fruit of Aizen's efforts reflected in Ichigo's eyes. Just the look in Ichigo's eyes is enough to warrant this a good picture. The effect it gives off, letting us know what Aizen can do is amazing. One eye 01:39, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I like the way Aizen surprises Ichigo calmly as he approaches him. It simply states of how powerful Aizen can be in such a distance from Ichigo. Also, Ichigo's expression is very meaningful and fearful. User:Ichiruki09 17:03, January 31,2010 (UTC)

 * 1) A classic picture of the major Antagonist and Protagonist of the series that just shows what will be a classic clash!! Last time they semi-fought, Ichigo was injured so this is a good picture for their first level-plane fight!! SunXia 18:08, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
