Former Shichibukai members
It seems odd to me to organize the former members by when they were first shown, rather then by when they stopped being members of the Shichibukai. The current members I get because no Shichibukai is more prominent in rank than another, unlike the Marines or many pirate crews. Plus it seems like a good way for someone to quickly look at all the members and be able to see what order they left in, rather than scroll through the article, which is enormous.

 * Another thing I want to point out is that the current members of the Shichibukai are organized by when we were aware that they were Shichibukai, which is why Buggy is not before Mihawk and Law is not before Hancock. Therefore, does it not make sense that their former members by arranged by when they stopped being members? Memnarc (talk) 07:09, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

We have always done it this way. Templates are done by when a character is first seen. SeaTerror (talk) 20:43, March 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's rather debatable. The Thriller Bark Zombies, several pirate crews I could mention, a few Marines, and numerous civilian groups are not organized by when they were introduced. Not to mention the fact that former Shichibukai were organized by when they left until recently. Let me boil down my argument: The members of the Shichibukai are organized according to when they were shown to be Shichibukai yes? All I'm asking for is that the former members be given the same treatment: by putting them in the order which they were shown to be former Shichibukai. Memnarc (talk) 10:35, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

"Not to mention the fact that former Shichibukai were organized by when they left until recently." That is complete BS. The template has never been organized by when they left. The order is already organized to how they were first shown. The only thing with Buggy being different is because he was shown as a Shichibukai AFTER he was first introduced. The others like Crocodile were shown BEFORE they were stripped of their status. SeaTerror (talk) 02:15, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh really? Never? Because from at least February 20, 2011 to February 20, 2013, the former Shichibukai were predominantly organized by the order they left. Or was the wikia itself "complete BS" for two years? And it looks like back in April of last year, you wanted to organize the template alphabetically. So please, climb down off your high horse and let's discuss this civilly. My argument is that the former Shichibukai are a separate subset of the Shichibukai, which they're already categorized as now.  Is it so irrational to arrange them in the order that they were shown to be part of that subset? Memnarc (talk) 22:01, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * The order doesn't really matter.If you want to change something,change it. 22:13, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

He already changed it and I undid it because I disagreed with the change. SeaTerror (talk) 22:22, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

So which is the correct order? 17:33, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I've made my position clear. Unless there are any further objections, I'm going to change it back. Memnarc (talk) 05:18, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Then I will just undo it again. SeaTerror (talk) 05:50, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Well, either refute my opinion or let's open this up to the forum, because I have no interest in an edit war. Memnarc (talk) 08:09, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

I already did. Take it to the forum. SeaTerror (talk) 07:14, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Former Members' Portraits
The template should be consistent with the article. & since the article only talks about the former members up until their removal from the group, their portraits here should only be of them during their tenures as official members.

(Their last arcs as members are: Crocodile=Alabasta; Jinbe & Blackbeard=Impel-Down; Doflamingo=Punk Hazard)

Agreed. 05:00, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

That's 1 vote. Can I get more opinions on this before I start making File:Shichibukai ex-member's name.PNGs?

Makes sense. And does anyone want to weigh in on the Former Shichibukai order debate between SeaTerror and I? I brought it up in March and it's been practically two months. I don't like leaving things up in the air that long. The forum thread I started is here: or you could just use the talk section above. Memnarc (talk) 08:43, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, do it. 09:54, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, there seems to be some disagreements on which version of the avatar to use here. I think the one I picked is fine, since its been used for the longest time and its a recent picture. The artwork is improved and the lighting isn't so faded and grainy. Also the Moria picture I added shows a clear frontal of his face with crisp quality. His appearance hasn't changed so for now stick with the ones I've added please. Genocyber (talk) 20:50, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

With Moriah, either Thriller Bark or Marineford is fine since he was a member during both arcs.

But with Crocodile, he was only seen as a a member during the Alabasta arc. If possible, character images should be in daytime lighting. The one you want for Croc is in the lower lighting of Impel Down. You say the Alabasta one looks washed-out, but Crocodile naturally has washed-out-looking skin. Just look at his Marineford images!

If you could find good images from with the time-frames of their memberships, by all means upload them.
