Manga or Anime
Already an edit war erupting over this. The anime one is more recent and is exactly the same as the manga color spread. I see no reason not to update it with this. 18:49, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

For one thing it has different colors, for another we use manga color spreads for all the other arcs if there are any. This is a matter of consistency.

In my opinion Oda's style is superior to the anime and if we have a decent manga image we should use it.

It's supposed to be the other way around. If we have a decent anime image, we always replace the manga image. 19:12, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

We have an anime HD quality image which easily surpasses the manga one by far. Suggesting anything else is just ludicrous. They are exactly the same. No. The anime one shows even more, the rest of Crocodile's hook. And no, we use Volume cover's on arcs because they summarize the arc better. If there were anime quality volume covers like this one, we would use them, but there aren't any (Except for this one).

@Gal: That goes for b-w pictures from the manga. We replace them with anime images because they are colored while the manga images are not. This is a different case.

@Sewil: Surpasses? The anime image has less depth and details. Just compare Crocodile's face and try to tell me again the anime looks better! The animators messed up the faces, changed the colors and destroyed the original image's composition with needless additions.

BTW: I found this Apparently, the image itself is from the 6th log book. Can't say whether this one isn't edited, though.

 * Neowitch is correct. Since both of the images are in colour nothing prevents us from using the manga version, especially if the anime version has flawed drawings. Another thing to note is the matter of consistency we are trying keep up between articles in the wiki and though there are certainly issues we DO try to maintain it. Know also that the "anime over manga" rule came into effect when only LQ images of the manga were available and the anime was a better alternative; which is clearly not the case here! Please take these things into consideration when making you decisions. MasterDeva (talk) 22:42, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Manga. The manga image is actually higher quality in this case. There's more depth into the drawing. And yeah, it should be an anime image, but only if the anime image is superior, which is not the case here. 01:21, November 8, 2012 (UTC)
