Remove anime image till the latest chapter is adapted into the anime?
Before an edit war starts, I want to see if we can come to a consensus. Obviously the anime image leaves something to be desired, and the manga image shows his full face. I think it would be more attractive for the article to use the manga image as the default image until a better anime image surfaces. Take what we did with Kyros for example. Thoughts? --Mandon (talk) 16:48, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

We can use both. It's okay. 16:49, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Would it be possible to make the manga image the default one until the anime version of this chapter comes out? 16:50, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

I agree that Manga should be default here. 16:51, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Why not just keep the current anime pic? Its not hurting anything and it doesn't go against his primary outfit. We will obviously change it in the future. AsuraDrago 16:58, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

For years, there's been talk of finding a way to change the default image, however that option does not exist yet. I agree with Mandon, remove the anime image (and place in gallery) until an accurate version appears. (Also, totally called it causing problems.) 17:26, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I always felt the current anime image to be rather ugly anyways, given the lackluster animation of 3D2Y, yet it was the only option since Toei showed the right side of Akainu's face, which - as I and many others predicted, ended up contradicting the manga. That's my main qualm with using it. But it's also the fact that it simply doesn't show his full appearance.. we've confirmed the scar's existence - now we need an image that showcases it by default.

And yeah ditto on that JSD. I'm kind of glad we didn't go with the Wake Up! image now. Toei seems to have a horrible knack for taking stupid liberties with character appearances only to get directly contradicted by the manga later. It's getting ridiculous at this point.. but it also sets a good precedence to not use an anime image for a character unless it directly matches it's manga counterpart. --Mandon (talk) 17:29, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

The scars and chipped ears do play a major factor, the anime shows the opposite side regardless. Its not too big of an issue. May as well make the new manga pic the primary image until we get a proper anime screenshot. AsuraDrago 17:54, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

The default image can't be changed without changing the coding on the template. That was brought up on a forum ages ago and it never went anywhere. SeaTerror (talk) 18:47, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

So what now then? I see the anime post-timeskip is gone. AsuraDrago 19:22, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Add it back since that's not how we do it. SeaTerror (talk) 19:28, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

I don't see it, maybe it takes a few minutes to show up? Why can't we just leave the original image until we get a new one? AsuraDrago 19:33, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

I meant it needs to be added back. SeaTerror (talk) 20:41, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

There's no rule that says it has to be active in the article. Just because there's precedence to use it doesn't mean we should. --Mandon (talk) 20:51, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Actually it is a rule. Forum:Pictures_of_characters_after_time-skip_and_before_time-skip Poll result says both pre and post timeskip images are added. The image must be added back now. SeaTerror (talk) 21:17, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

I looked through that forum and nowhere did I see any rule that required an anime picture.

Akainu's post-TS anime pic is little more than a shadowing, and now that his face is actually shown this is ill-fitted as an infobox picture, and the point of an infibox picture is for people to get a full glimpse of the subject quickly and easily. 21:50, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Then you must have somehow missed the poll results. The poll results are literally the rule. SeaTerror (talk) 22:59, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

if we already had a poll there is no point ignoring it, and no point in re-polling. Besides, the anime image previously used doesn't go against anything major comared to the new manga. He has the correct beard and shadows over the scars and eyes. So its not incorrect technically. AsuraDrago 23:08, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Why do you want the front and very first image to be something that doesn't reveal his whole face...just because it's anime? 23:12, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

The point here is that it's apart of the rules to have both anime and a manga picture of a character in the infobox. The current one may not be a full-reveal like the manga but there will be one in the future to replace it with. Its not hurting anything and goes by the rules of the wiki. Especially a rule voted on.
