File talk:Monkey D. Luffy Manga Post Timeskip Infobox.png

Debate
I'm not sure if this was discussed somewhere else or something, but why are we using the manga image instead of the anime image?

"Why are we using the manga image instead of the anime image", why not? It's pretty good to me, better then the others in my opinion. The main point is that the other versions aren't even anime, but are taken from merchandise stuff which are a little different from Oda' style, in some cases you can't even tell if it's official or fanart. We can still vote on this, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the current one.

Note to the admins: change the protection level to lock only the upload, we may have still to edit the page itself.

Well, I'm fairly certain we decided as a group on the wiki to always use the anime version if available, and then Luffy matches the other Straw Hats with anime pictures. I would also like to point out that the Pre-Timeskip image for all the Straw Hats (and Buggy, Crocodile, Kuro, Krieg, Ace, and many more) all come from video games. 03:35, November 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * While it is true that for the Pre-Timeskip Straw Hat Pirates, and the others you pointed, game spreads are used mainly because no better alternatives were available. While the images are updated to a more recent version it isn't actually mandatory to update them with a picture taken from the anime. MasterDeva 04:07, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, I swear that there was a huge debate, with the final decision being that we always use anime pictures. I could be mistaken. 12:50, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
