File talk:Ace Dies.png

Edit War
Same issue with File:Ace Saves Luffy.png: Both images have good quality. However, the manga image lacks colorization and the anime image lacks detail (necklace). 02:06, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

It's protocol. We ALWAYS use the manga photo if the anime counterpart has significant differences. [my point? Whitebeard getting his head blown off in the manga instead of his mustache] This is just as major. colorization isn't enough reason to use a non-canon photograph, especially when it creates a plot hole while the necklace is intact on his grave.

The difference is in the Whitebeard image, the whole point of it WAS that half his face got blown off. The point of this image has nothing to do with the necklace. It has to do with Ace dying. 18:11, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

We replaced the photo where Franky finds Kuma guarding the Sunny with the photo from the manga because he wasn't as battered up in the anime. That's way more minor than Ace's necklace being destroyed. it doesn't matter if both images show him dead, Ace doesn't lose his necklace in the manga. that's more than significant enough to warrant using the manga photo.

The Franky/Kuma image was about him being battered up. This image is not about the necklace. It's a minor detail that doesn't effect the scene. 01:17, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Neither does the Franky/Kuma image. He's still battered up in the anime photo and it does the same job the manga photo would, but we used the manga panel instead. Why? Because we follow the canonicity of the story. Ace's necklace not being there isn't a minor detail because it creates a plot hole in regards to his gravestone having the necklace intact. As far as anime/manga differences go, Ace's necklace is one of the bigger ones and we've used manga photos for less. It's how we've always done things here, if an anime photo doesn't follow the manga closely enough then we use the manga photo. there really shouldn't even be a debate here, it's what we do with EVERY similar situation.

We only do it if it's major. If the anime image has many details missing and doesn't portray the scene enough, then we use the manga. This is not one of those cases. And please stop uploading the manga images separately. It violates the guidelines and can be treated as vandalism. 01:43, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

You already took that to my talk page and I admit I made a mistake there, let's stay on topic though. Like I already said, Ace losing his necklace IS major, and we've replaced anime photos with their manga counterparts for far less than that. Does it convey the scene? Sure, but you could say that for any of Toei's adaptions of the manga scenes, it doesn't make it viable to use in a wiki that only goes by canonical facts. Ace doesn't lose his necklace, therefore the anime pic isn't canon, so I can't understand why it's even an issue. What harm is there in using the manga photos since the anime counterparts make significant changes to the original depiction? M4ND0N (talk) 03:31, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

What harm is there in keeping the anime image, which nobody had a problem with until you started complaining about it? It doesn't make a significant change. The necklace is missing. So what? If you want to get that specific, we may as well change EVERY anime image to manga since color doesn't exist. 04:04, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Well there you go, now I know that color is your motivation for wanting the image to stay the way it is. You have a bias leaning towards wanting everything in the article to be colored, while all I want to do is make it more consistent to the canonicity of the story. Can we get an admin in here to help decide this? Obviously this debate is going nowhere if we don't have outside opinions to contribute. Again, I stand by what I said. the anime image isn't canon and therefore shouldn't be used. M4ND0N (talk) 05:33, June 14, 2013 (UTC).
