Tōshirō Hitsugaya vs. Shawlong Koufang
I'm not a fan of how the current image for this fight randomly has Rangiku in the background despite her not participating in it and how Hitsugaya and Shawlong are kinda off to the side, so I found a suitable replacement that focuses on them and is of higher quality, both in terms of the px and in the art of the scene itself.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:56, September 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:56, September 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Better quality, and no unnecessary Rangiku.
 * 3) Same pose, but strictly better.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Ulquiorra Cifer: Final Fight
I'm not a huge fan of the current image for this fight, since it's primarily Ichigo and Ulquiorra moving toward each other instead of actually fighting. Additionally, most of the battle involves them in powered up forms, e.g. Segunda Etapa and White 2.0 Ichigo's fully Hollowfied form, so I decided that an image showing them clashing while in their fully powered-up forms would be appropriate for this battle. However, since the only decent frame of them doing so is part of a filler extension (goshdarnittoheck Pierrot), I've also included a second proposal uploaded by Sun many moons ago that shows them clashing in their base forms and which is nice and focused, although I personally prefer my proposal because it differentiates this battle from Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Ulquiorra Cifer.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As uploader and proposer, I support Proposal 1 becoming the new main image for this fight article.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 1 - pretty much what Xil said about 2 being too similar to the earlier fight.
 * 3) Proposal 1 - I don't think that it matters that it's a filler shot too much.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  11:49, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Lille Barro
No text, zoomed out more to show his whole head, no hood obscuring the hat, etc. Very little needs to be said about why I'm proposing this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:52, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:52, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) I like the proposal alot more than the current profile image. Mr.Rig and Zig 23:58, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) For obvious reasons.

Giselle Gewelle
better angle of her looking forward, more of her head in the pic, and less awkward with gaping mouth. also no annoying speech bubble.--Seigheil (talk) 16:20, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) this is not a good profile picture of her, it is a picture of her going nuts in th heat of battle!!
 * 2) One of the important criteria of a good profile picture is a more or less neutral facial expression.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) The facial expression looks very forced/unnatural, and the angle at which it is drawn is also putting me off.
 * 4) There's probably a better alternative in one of the chapters she's appeared in. This is not it, for the reasons listed above.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:08, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Sode no Shirayuki
The current main image for this battle isn't very good. It's focused primarily on their heads and faces, and doesn't actually show any combat, or even any other parts of their bodies. As such, my proposal has Ichigo actually attacking Sode no Shirayuki in such a way that you can see both combatants.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:06, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:06, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah it's better than the current one.
 * 3) Neither are perfect, but the proposal is better than the current one. I'd prefer it if there was one that showed both of them clearly, but I'm sure you'd have posted that if you came across it in your picture hunting.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) For reasons already stated.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Rukia Kuchiki vs. Sode no Shirayuki
Currently, the main image for this battle consists of Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki...staring at each other. That's really about it. Because of this, I've posted an alternative that shows them actually fighting and stuff, as well as more of their bodies. It helps that it has a nice sense of flow to it.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:20, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:20, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) I actually prefer the current one as they look like adversaries there facing off!!
 * 2) I see no major reason to change it. Its fine as is. A face off rather than clash is okay. The important thing is that it shows the characters involved clearly. Doesn't matter if they're not clashing blades in the picture. Lots of Bleach fights full of pauses to chat anyway.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Face offs are fine, and stuff.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Askin Nakk Le Vaar
I think the picture from chapter 599 would fit better than this current one, in which he doesn't have his pronounced cheekbones and the shape/proportions of his face and hair seems a little off. Granted the proposed picture it not a full shot of his entire head but still i think its better, plus pages like Driscoll's or Gremmy's don't have the full shots of their heads, but mostly the face, yet those fit well. --Cross of Scaffold (talk) 19:00, October 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As a proposer, I support this change.--Cross of Scaffold (talk) 19:00, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Driscoll has a non-full shot of his head because that's the only close-up, frontal shot we have of him in the manga, and Gremmy's just another story entirely, but that's beside the point. Askin's current image is fine. It's from the front, it shows basically all of his head (including his hair), and he's looking at the camera. The proposal has the top of his head cut off and shows him from an angle. I honestly don't understand why so many people oppose using that as his main image, but I certainly oppose this change because the proposal simply doesn't meet our guidelines as well as the current one does.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:21, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Not to say that the current is great, but it is superior to the proposal, so I oppose this change. Keeping my fingers crossed for a better pic soon though.  19:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) He look ridiculous either way, his current profile picture just looks less ridiculous. Mr.Rig and Zig 19:41, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Not that it particularly matters, but I am going to be contrary here. The proposal has him facing forward, more so than the current image, in which he is looking upward. Both images are from different angles, but it is considerably more noticeable in the current one. I think it is also worth noting that the proposal is considerably more detailed, as the current image does a rather poor job of depicting his facial structure, particularly his distinct lips, chin, and cheekbones. There is not much to see of his hair anyway, and at the very least, the proposal features his hairstyle's most distinct feature.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:47, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Yachiru Kusajishi
Yachiru never really has any good profile stances but I think the new one far outweighs the current one we are using for her n the pre-time skip section!!


 * 1) - Proposer!!
 * 2) This'll do, I suppose.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:12, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed
 * 4) Yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:45, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Much better. Arrancar109  (Talk)  21:07, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Her mouth looks a bit far up in the new one, but it's much better despite my possible insane mind seeing something that isn't there.

Gin Ichimaru
Gin's current profile image has a couple issues, jpg format notwithstanding: it's at an angle and a good chunk of his hair/head is out of view. As such, my proposal shows him directly from the front and with his entire head, as well as a bit of his shoulders and chest, in view.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:20, December 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:20, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Giving this some activity! In all seriousness, I do think the proposed fits our standards better.
 * 3) Also yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:45, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) I don't feel that strongly on this one, but I will say that the proposal meets our standards more than the current. Arrancar109  (Talk)  21:07, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Yes

Ichigo Kurosaki (Post-Timeskip)
From what I've gathered by reading past discussions about Ichigo's profile images, it's best to show him in his most common form - his Shinigami form - which means using a shot of him in Shikai/Bankai. Now, the current image has nothing wrong with it quality, angle, or dimensions-wise; this is a matter of updating. Ichigo's gained a new, and likely permanent, Shinigami uniform in this final arc, and it's very noticeably different from his previous uniform, or most Shinigami uniforms in general, because of its scaled shoulder plate and crisscrossing white bands. Since this is what he's gonna be wearing from here on out, and has been wearing for a good chunk of the arc proper, I'd say that's what we should show him in for his post-timeskip image - he's not going back to the old one. We've even got a color image of the thing, which is a rare blessing in manga.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:29, May 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:29, May 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) The current image we have is still good, and this one I don't particularly like because of the partial logo in the background, it just doesn't look right.

Gerard Valkyrie
{{Discussion Closed|result=Proposal accepted as Gerard's new profile image.]]

While the current image for Gerard is pretty detailed, it doesn't show much beyond his helmet, face, and neck. The proposal shows him at a more straightforward angle, with his hair, cape, face, and helmet all in full view, in addition to having his usual expression on his face rather than being all srs.--Xilinoc {{sup|(talk)}} 02:25, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Askin Nakk Le Vaar
Okay, I'm aware this is a bit of a touchy subject and has been rejected a couple times before, but hear me out on this one. Askin's current profile image has sufficed for the 105 chapters since his first appearance, but it is lacking in a couple areas: it doesn't show all of his head (cuts off his hair at the top), his cheekbones aren't visible like in every other shot of him, and you don't get much beyond his head - and none of the suggested alternatives have remedied all of those. However, this week's chapter provided a shot of him that's zoomed out a bit so you can see both his entire head and the upper part of his chest, on top of having the trademark cheekbones. The only drawback that I can think of is that his head is slightly tilted, but honestly I don't think most people care as long as they can see everything else clearly.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:18, October 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:18, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree This image shows him in a better light. Naruto 45 (talk) 06:21, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) I still hope for something better, but this definitely is the best one that's come up. Arrancar109  (Talk)  07:01, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Much better.  08:19, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) Better, though could be improved in the future Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 10:26, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Maybe something better will come along in future chapters, but this is certainly an improvement on the current one.  10:33, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Askin Nakk Le Vaar
We just changed his profile picture, but I'd like to propose this one because it's in color, it's much higher quality, and his head isn't tilted. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 02:35, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer, I support. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 02:35, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) He's at an odd angle and there's too many people around him. Mr.Rig and Zig 03:07, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) I like the color, but it feels too "zoomed out" for me, and there are too many other characters in the shot.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:16, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) I also like the color but like others have said too many characters.Naruto 45 (talk) 03:37, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) Too far out for a profile picture.  09:53, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) While the current one is not perfect, I think this proposal is not a great replacement.  15:34, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Bambietta Basterbine
This image shows much more of her body, is in color, and keeps her stern demeanor from the current profile pic. The only downside I think would be the other two female Sternritter in the background, though I don't believe they detract from its quality. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 02:35, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer, I support. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 02:35, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I like the color, but it feels too "zoomed out" for me, and there are too many other characters in the shot.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:16, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Glad it's in cool but not happy that you can see Candice in it.Naruto 45 (talk) 03:37, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Would be good, if it didn't have the other Femritter in the background, and a little more close up.  09:53, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) Like the others have said, there is too much going on in the background of the picture and its too far away from her.  15:34, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Liltotto Lamperd
Liltotto's current profile pic barely shows anything other than her face. This shows her entire head and her torso and also illustrates her gluttonous tendencies. Oh, and did I mention it's in color?
 * 1) As proposer, I support. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 02:35, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I like the color, but it feels too "zoomed out" for me, and there are too many other characters in the shot. I agree that Liltotto needs a new profile image, but this isn't it.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:16, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) like Xili said. Naruto 45 (talk) 03:37, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Again, too far out. Also, people in the background.  09:53, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) Like the others have said, while the current one is not perfect, I think this proposal is not a great replacement.  15:34, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Yūshirō Shihōin
It's about time that we changed Yūshirō's main image now that he's had some more time in the spotlight. While his current profile image worked for the time being, it's too close to his face to show the rest of his head, and he's pouting and crying - which isn't really his usual expression. The proposal from chapter 657, while not perfect, does show more of his head and shoulders and has him with a more common expression.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, January 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Better than what's there, but it may need another change further down the road.
 * 3) Another case of best of a bad bunch. Definitely need to keep an eye out for something better in future.  19:39, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Better than the current picture, but like Schif and Yyp said, there will likely be a better option later. For now though, this is the better option. FutureQuincy (talk) 19:49, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm very hesitant to say better because oh the expression come on Kubo you should give us nice profile pics to work with!!

Quincy: Vollständig
It's kind of weird that the Vollstandig profile image isn't even a real Vollstandig, and it's also very low quality. I'd like to propose Quilge's Vollstandig to replace it, since it's a standard Vollstandig, you can easily see it, and there are no speech bubbles obstructing it.
 * As the proposer, I support Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 16:48, February 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Quilge had the first Vollstandig we have ever seen. It would be perfect to represent the page as it does meet all the requirements. While the current picture is a result of the Aushwahlen based resurrection as opposed to an actual Vollstandig.--
 * 1) - Nothing new to add here, just agreeing with Kaido and Sal.
 * 2) Same as above, this would be much more suitable.  21:59, February 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) idk why the angel wing version was the main image to begin with, let's change it.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:59, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen
The proposed image, which is Sōsuke Aizen as NaNaNa's Underbelly is used on him, is a much more contemporary image of him as he is currently bound to the Muken chair. It depicts Aizen's entire upper torso, his attire, and his head, along with his notably calm and collected appearance. The current image is not only out of date, but does not depict his entire head, along with his hairline, forehead, and overall facial structure being different from almost most other depictions of him. (I also apologize if I published this incorrectly or made mistakes, I am unfamiliar with talk pages.) --Mugen Galath, the &#91;fake&#93; Worker of Secrets (talk) 16:43, May 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Aizen hasn't changed physically since the timeskip. And if we were to use a more current picture of him, it definitely should not be one where he's getting attacked. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:07, May 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) His appearance isn't really all that different, and a good portion of his body is covered by the grid. If a timeskip picture is deemed necessary then it should be one where half his body is not obscured. FutureQuincy (talk) 17:17, May 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with the others Aizen is not in need of a new timeskip picture or one where he is being attacked.Naruto 45 (talk) 18:12, May 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Everyone has pretty much covered why: Aizen's appearance is still the same, him being bound to the chair is a product of physical (and spiritual) restraint and not a natural change, and he's being attacked in the image you're proposing. From I've seen, especially in this arc, nothing warrants a change for Aizen's pic at this time. Arrancar109  (Talk)  18:31, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

I see your points, since you eloquently explained them, and I'm inclined to agree with all of you. Thanks for the responses, ladies and/or gentlemen! --Mugen Galath, the &#91;fake&#93; Worker of Secrets (talk) 20:33, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shū Kannogi
Alright I think this has been a long while in coming. One of our requirements is that the subject must be facing forward and in his current image Shū Kannogi is not doing so. Now there are exceptions to this rule but it is usually in the absence of an image facing forward of the character are hand. For Sir Shū we have several on the matter that are much more forward facing than the present one. The expression is not one of the requirements unless it complete messes up their face.


 * 1) Proposal 2 No idea who this guy is, but Proposal 2 is forward facing and looks the most natural. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 23:06, May 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Proposal 2 The expression might be a little off, but it is still better than the current picture and of the options presented, I think that 2 is the best choice.  11:09, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Proposal 2 is the best of the lot.--Xilinoc (talk) 13:15, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Bount
Most of our organisations, save for a few, are usually represented by their symbol and such. The Bount Crest is related to them all, it is usually present on the object the Dolls are sealed within and it appeared on Kariya's chest when he first activated his Doll, and he was the first one. I did alter this image a little from Episode 69 for it to work like our other symbols but there are other instances with the Anime of it in use but this one follows the style of how say Gotei 13 and Wandenreich and others follow. I can get others if you would prefer.
 * The current one is not a great picture to be honest. I'm for changing it. 14:46, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ogreed.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:45, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol goes along with the other groups and is better than the entire group facing away. FutureQuincy (talk) 23:08, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with the the others. Naruto 45 (talk) 23:18, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
