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 October 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.

Rukia and Ichigo: Rukia's Farewell



 * 1) Such a simple picture, yet it carries such a large emotional impact. With Ichigo losing his ability to see spirits, it is as though everything is going back to the way it was when this series first started. This month, there will only be two chapters - one that represents the end, and one that represents a new beginning. This picture is the transition point between those two, and should be featured because of it.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  06:47, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) What can be more impactful and meaningful than this picture? This one is probably the biggest turning point so far. It represents Ichigo's loss of his powers, and the story going back to where it started. This picture alone had every one of us at the verge of tears when it came out. The art is beautiful, simple, clean and captures the emotion perfectly. I definitely needs to be featured. -- Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  01:01, October 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) It looks like Rukia is dying as opposed to just disappearing from Ichigo's sight, like how Ulquiorra died!! Didn't really imapct me all that much!! SunXia (talk) 11:36, October 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Using a bit of Lia's logic here. What is this picture out of context? Its Ichigo and Rukia standing there. Rukia has a hole in her. Out of context this is nothing, it has nothing that captures how sad of a moment it actually was.--God  (Pray)  18:43, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Aizen Cuts Down Attackers



 * 1) This is possibly my favorite anime scene ever now. It is a gorgeous picture. The gray scale sets the mood and makes the colors more vibrant. All the characters are clear and this was just such an amazing scene--God  (Pray)  18:29, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'd have to agree, lately some of the Anime imagery has been totally wrong but they get this scene absolutely right, an awesome picture that actually looks darker than alot of the Anime has lately because of the constant blue skies behind FKT so this is just great symbolism!! SunXia (talk) 04:19, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I think the anime has really captured the moment of despair that is represented by the image. Those of us who read the manga know what is to come next but I bet you the anime only fans are wallowing in despair and anger, the same way manga fans did when the image first came out. Definitely feature worthy.  Tinni   (Talk)  13:47, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) This is a really good picture. The colors are just right and the grayscale really adds to the effect. It really grabs you.--Bleachmasta (talk) 01:24, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) The picture is a real mess. Half of Aizen's face is cut off and his silhouette leaves little room for the portrayal of such a massacre. There isn't much detail to it. Other than Hitsugaya, there's just blood streams coming off everyone. This image isn't a very good candidate for featured pic of the month. Blaze  (Conversations)  17:52, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Even if the episode captured the moment in all its intensity, which I applaud, the picture out of context feels empty and doesn't seem as impactful as the anime was. It's just the same as seeing the manga image in color. This one looks very crowded and Aizen's shape taking all the front shot makes the scene in the back too small and even more cluttered. -- Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:45, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Rukia and Ichigo: Rukia's Farewell

 * 1) This picture shows the beauty and simplicity of Bleach. Not a background in sight making sure the main focus is going to be our two heroes we stuck through and cheered for as they fought. It's interesting to see that Rukia was wearing mostly back signifying her Shingami powers contrast to Ichigo's light colors signifying his human state like Rukia was in the first chapter. The faces were blocked from the readers' view so we could only imagine what they are feeling at this point. This one picutures shows the transition from the first chapter to the latest one in simple detail and is worthy to be featured.Soomin (talk) 23:20, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  I think this picture is beautiful in its simplicity. It captures the transition in Ichigo as he loses his shinigami powers and resorts back to being only human. Rukia was the character that got Bleach going when she granted Ichigo her powers, and in a sense her disappearance symbolizes or epitomizes the loss Ichigo is going through.
