I think Kuro's version looks better but i would like to have other peoples opinion on this so we can know which one ppl prefer. User:X-RAPTOR 11:51, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Neo's version is more neutral and is closer to the way the manga depicts Luffy. 11:55, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

The best was the manga version (cover of Vol. 62). Who changed it? Could it be posted here so people can judge it too?

Too much of a dramatic pose, plus it has other characters in it. The anime one is fine. (Neos). 16:38, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

The manga look better. It's bright, colorful, mainly feature Luffy. He is not covered by other characters, they are behind him. Most of the characters are cropped out, really far behind him (in other words: tiny) and only Sanji is viewable, but Luffy hold the attention, not him. It's fabulous, and in excellent condition! What more can we ask for? Definitely the manga. 17:18, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

How does it look better? The scar looks sloppy, Sanji ruins most of the picture, and it's certainly not more colorful. It also has a bad angle. The anime version is much more detailed, with a better angle, it's also much more updated.

I totally agree. 20:48, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

How do Sanji ruins the image? The scar is exactly as Oda meant it to be. It was the same on volume 61. And on a lot of the other shirtless images of him in the manga. So your scar point is kind of useless there. The anime version is not more detailed. Really, both manga and anime features practically the exact same thing, with a few various differences in the manga. Both manga and anime has exactly the same outfit, so how is it "updated"? 20:59, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I actually think the current one is best, it's a very neutral pose that gives you a good look at Luffy. The other two versions have a downward angle to them, and the arms are doing weird poses in them too. Although, all 3 of the images are HQ and rather good. 01:35, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer the manga image due to its greater detail. The only advantage of anime images is usually the fact that they're coloured, given that the they're drawn with less detail for the purposes of animation. Since such a clear, full-view coloured manga image is available, with richer colours and richer detail it would be a waste not to use it. 04:34, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

What is wanted is an image as clean and distinct as possible. While the volume cover sure is beautiful, it was never meant for separating the characters into different images. The image features the happy Fishman Island with mermaids in the background, Sanji with his love, corals, rainbows, Surume, half of chopper's head etc. It's distracting. It's not fitted for an image of LUFFY.
