Head Shot vs. Face Shot
I think the face shot is better. It provides more detail and we can still see who he is. 00:54, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

So much for stopping an edit war. 05:06, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

What detail does the face-shot have that the head-shot doesn't?

The nose and scar in the head-shot are pretty incomplete. Plus there's a whole lot of extra space in the head-shot. 17:44, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'm very, very torn on this. Neither are perfect portraits. The head shot is missing detail, while the face shot is poorly proportioned for a portrait. I guess it depends which aspect you believe is more important (which this community will never agree :/ ). Personally, I'm a little bit biased towards detail, so I'm leaning (very) slightly towards the face shot. SSS, The Really Cool Guy Talk 17:22, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Anime headshot vs anime faceshot
Hate to start a pointless argument over this, but I think this one can be easily solved. Unlike the manga headshot the anime one is much more clear and all the details are there. The hair is basically the same in both anime versions but a slight difference with the top of the scar. As we've seen with Oda, he can never keep a scar perfect and in the same spot, remember Garp's moving scar counted by an SBS reader? The anime faceshot is nice, but to me seems a touch too close-up. So as you can guess, I'm for the anime headshot. AsuraDrago 03:15, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Face shot is much more centered and still has superior detail. --Mandon (talk) 16:22, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

The detail isn't that much of a difference, the headshot is centered just fine. If you want examples of bad angles and detail look at Bartolomeo and Law's portraits. The face-shot looks so awkward. AsuraDrago 18:09, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

The problem is, the headshot is upscaled, so there's going to be a loss of quality if it's used. The face shot however doesn't need to be zoomed in because the frame itself is already zoomed to showcase his face, rather than his upper body. The point of a portrait is to show a character's face, not his head, and in that regard the current photo is far superior, since you can see his scar better while the image is downsized. Sabo's face is also thinner than it should be and his eyes are focused at a weird angle. --Mandon (talk) 19:22, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

I'd prefer an image that can include his chin. It's something we just need to have. That's all I have to say on this one. 21:20, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, even though I made that argument previously, I can go with either version. The only thing the headshot is missing is part of his nose and scar, but it's not THAT bad. The manga versions had a much larger difference in detail, but not so much for the anime images. 00:22, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Quite, the headshot is centered just fine and the detail is there. AsuraDrago 00:24, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

I never said it wasn't adequette, I just don't think it needs to be changed when the current image is far more attractive as a portrait and isn't upscaled like the proposed. The focus should be Sabo's face, not his head, and the proposed takes focus away from his face, which is the whole point of portraits to begin with. --Mandon (talk) 03:29, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Either version is good. That's all I have to say.

I prefer the faceshot. The headshot looks a bit off somehow. 16:34, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

What about a more face-focused crop of the first version? Now we get the focus on his face, as well actually including all of his face. 03:36, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

With that it basically comes down to deciding against a detailed face shot without chin or an upscaled head shot with chin. I'm still for current. There's no need to change it for a less detailed photo. --Mandon (talk) 05:21, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree with Mandon. Compared to the faceshot, the headshot (cropped or not) looks off, like Sabo's face has been stretched or something. 08:16, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Mandon and Kage, I'm going for the faceshot. It's detailed and doesn't look as awkward as Sabo's fact in the headshot, as Kage said. 02:05, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

Clear majority here. Not in my favor, but still a clear majority and I'll respect that. I'd still prefer an alternate image, so watch out in the future. It would be nice to get one with the chin and with better lighting. 04:41, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

Since most others prefer the faceshot that's fine and I'll respect that. As JSD mentioned I'm sure there will be better images in future episodes. AsuraDrago 22:04, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

I'm absolutely be open to a headshot image if a better one becomes available, which it will. --Mandon (talk) 02:27, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

Hat vs. No hat
I'm for no hat. 21:52, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

There's absolutely no reason to change the current image due to the obvious flaws of the proposed. It's less centred, has worse lighting and detail - and if the only benefit is showing the top of Sabo's head and scar which are pretty much always hidden to begin with because he's constantly wearing his hat, then I see no reason to change the current image - which is a perfect portrait image. That said, I'm for the current. --Mandon (talk) 23:13, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

The one with the hat is slightly more detailed and Sabo's hat is apart of his character, just like Luffy. Might as well let it stay the same. Why not put the hatless pic of him in the gallery to show off his hair? AsuraDrago 03:29, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

The infobox already shows him without his hat though. I mean we may end up finding a photo to replace it so in that event we should definitely do that. --Mandon (talk) 19:23, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Hatless pic looks better. 21:58, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the proposed image is also upscaled.. so there's that too, on top of less detail, sabo looking down, less centred angle, dimmer lighting, etc etc. --Mandon (talk) 20:18, November 16, 2015 (UTC)

Now that I look at it, I guess I can go with either. 21:38, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
