File talk:Luffy Breaks Caesar's Face.png

Anime vs. Manga
In this case, the anime image is "after" the punch, while the manga image shows the full impact and is "during" the punch. Manga's very legible in the thumbnail, so can't see a reason to use anime (especially with that weird electricity effect). This isn't meant to be seen not in motion. 14:54, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

I find the anime image perfectly fine. 15:00, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

The anime image looks good. The "electricity effect" is the impact, I don't know why you would find that weird. 15:03, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Staw, I want full on analysis from you. Give me 100 words or more please!

It's not the same though Kage. In the manga image, you get the feeling that Caesar is actually being hit. The electric effect in the anime is showing the "aftermath" of the punch, and not the punch in motion. As I said, anime images like this are not meant to be seen in still image form (gif would be great, but we do not allow those for non-ability images), while the manga is drawn to illustrate motion (which is what these action images should display, an actual impactful punch to his face.) 15:09, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Galaxy, you are being much too strict on staw just to get the manga version. We aren't here to write persuasive essays nor has there been a written requirement for talk pages; we are here to discuss images to use in a reasonable, non-bias manner.

The anime is perfect to be used in this case though. It has all the detail of the manga version and was drawn exceptionally well this time. The anime version shows the passion, the power and the force behind Luffy breaking Ceasar’s face with a haki-induced punch. We can see all of the same detail in this version just as the anime did. We can see the detail in his broken face, the blood, the even the electricity sparks from the impact. To be more accurate to what you previously said, the electric shock is basically the same as the manga; they both show the impact from the punch after it was delivered. The only real difference of the shock is the manga has a little bigger shock effect. Not that it really matters. Aside from that the detail was perfect for the dramatic, action-packed scene here. We can see Luffy’s rage, Ceasar in pain and shocked at his actions. This image has everything required that the wiki standards live up to. This scene has no major animation goofs; the angle is correct from the original version and overall looks great and suits perfectly. Essentially both images are the same.

The paragraph above has 200 words by the way. AsuraDrago 16:00, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Staw posting things such as "it's fine", does not help lead to a decision, and should not be allowed on talk pages. It's just like not contributing at all.

You make semi-fair points, but all of them are counterparts of what I said. Saying the opposite of what I said simply isn't analysis.

The detail is much less honestly. Caesar's face is much less dented, and the black mark on his face simply is not present (which is an important mark left from the punch). The sparks are the "aftermath" of the impact, as I said. The scene is not meant to be seen in a still image form in the anime, because they made it with the intention of it being in motion. The manga is illustrated in such a way that you get the feeling that the punch is happening at that time. The impact circles are larger, more emphasized, and more central to the "breaking" of his face than the anime version.

Yes, you can see the rage, you can see "pain", but you are not looking at the actual impact of the punch, nor are the details on Caesar's face as "fine-lined" as the manga version.

Another flaw I just noticed is that the Haki on Luffy's arm is supposed to be wearing off at that point, and the anime keeps the haki arm intact. Essentially, yes, they're quite similar, but a close investigation (opening the image in two tabs), will show that there are quite a few details and principles that differ between the two.

Anyways, if this talk page somehow ends up deciding on manga, we must upload the anime image as a separate image to put on the Episode page, where it definitely belongs. 16:18, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
