Image War
Two weeks late cuz I forgot about this. The anime image is so dark compared to the manga image, that it's much much harder to make out the actual details. Sure it's easy to see if you zoom in on the image, or if you already know it pretty well, but the lack of contrast does not help. You can hardly even tell that the character has a round shape in the thumbnail, and you especially can't see its arm. The silhouette is objectively less visible, so much so that the anime even added a gray shading to the character (which isn't in the manga; likely because it's meant to be complete darkness, which would make the anime image inaccurate) in order to make it out from the dark background. The anime image looks great on its own, but with the context of the article, it simply does not work as well as the manga image does. The manga image clearly depicts the full shape of the character. The anime image doesn't, and the parts that it does do, is hard to see. 05:49, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree. 08:41, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

The anime image is fine. It also looks good when used as a thumbnail on the article. SeaTerror (talk) 14:30, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

...Alright, if there isn't any objections besides "it looks good", is it alright that I change it back then? Because the other image is actually visible. 21:15, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah the anime picture looks terrible for this purpose, I support the change. 21:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

I have uploaded an alternative that addresses the listed issues. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 21:55, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm afraid the alternative is even less visible... 22:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Your argument was that the manga looks better "because of dark colors" which is the same exact opposite of the anime version looks better. SeaTerror (talk) 10:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No idea what point you're trying to make (or what you're trying to say in general), but he said the contrast allowed for objectively easier distinction of the figure's silhouette, which is very much true. 14:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently I said the manga image looks better?? Like, in general??? I mean idk how anyone could read my whole spiel about how unreadable it is and conclude with something I never said. I think he's just being willfully obtuse, so it's best to ignore him. But Buh is probably unaware that this talk page is going on, cuz they just reverted back to the anime image. Hope there's nothing wrong with me reverting that back now, at least to bring attention to this for their input. 16:59, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

The anime image is indeed fine. The silhouette around the top of his head is perfectly visible. The alternative Nesha provided is unfortunately not suitable, since it has an even less visible silhouette.

Also, for the record, when you're the only one who was reverting the image back to its earlier version, claiming to have the editorial high ground before reverting it again is a pretty bad look. The Pope 17:27, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't know if anything has changed since I stopped being super into this wiki, but back in MY day, we reverted to the original established image for any edit wars. I didn't revert back when I opened this talk page, cuz I wanted to be nice. Anyways, I know the silhouette on the top of the head is visible. I already pointed that out. The anime added a gray sheem, or whatever, to the top BECAUSE it's so invisible. But the whole bottom is absolutely not decipherable, especially in a thumbnail. If you want to get technical, the anime's addition of the gray is inaccurate to the manga, and the lack of visible arm in the image is also misleading. It can lead the viewer to think it's some sort of blob, like a Dragon Quest slime, possibly floating. It's just weird. 17:37, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Buh indeed violated the rules of edit-warring on the wiki, and I condemn their subsequent comment as it is rude and highly uncalled for. I still agree with Nada that the manga image shows a much clearer picture of the blob with extra details that are lost in the anime. The anime image may show parts of the silhouette, but it is just sub-par for the purpose of the image. 19:11, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

"The Pope" will suffice. Or just "Pope". Blame the wiki's inability to differentiate logins and user names. The Pope 19:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
