Talk:Shinji Hirako

Masked Ichigo did not have trouble with GJ he was dominating the fight. Shinji was not simply holding his own against GJ he was overpowering GJ --Bushido Brown 22:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

New image is ugly
Can we go back to the manga image please? The current anime image just looks hideous, and we already have a colour representation of him through the OP credits shot. --tjstrf talk 09:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The manga image we used also appears in the anime. We could use that, without misleading viewers about Shinji's hair color and stuff. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 11:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I stuck up the anime equivalent. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, nicely done. --tjstrf talk 20:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * i think the anime picture is fine but we shold still have a image of him from the manga in my opinon NekrosKoma 04:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the main image (for every character) should be from the manga, to denote the original design intended by Kubo. Lord Air 05:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Why is Shinji different than any other character? They all had original designs by Kubo. Are you suggesting we change all the pictures for all the Bleach articles or are you being subjective and just care about Shinji's picture when your rationale could be used for any of the characters' pictures? Gdo01 05:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not just for Shinji; I'm suggesting to use a manga image as the main one (on the right, above the data) on every character page. Because the original character design, created by Bleach author, is the one from the manga. In the anime it's always slightly different. Lord Air 06:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hardly in any significant fashion, and any differences can easily be described in the character's outline. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 04:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If it's not so different, just use manga images. As they are the first done, and the only ones made by Bleach creator.Lord Air 07:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If it's not so different, why not use the clearer and better rendered anime images? As anime images are predominantly used on most character pages, (where possible), there's no reason to ignore that tact here. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 08:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's ok, I'm not going to change any image either way. I'm just making a suggestion based on logic. Bleach is first and foremost a manga, the anime is derived from the manga. So, images from the original work should be used over images from a derived work, wherever possible. Lord Air 03:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why? Both are officially licensed works. One is more recognizable than the other to boot. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

On another note
Is this weird walking on air trick Shinj does more common than I think, because I've never seen it done in such a casual manner. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's normal. He's just really good at it. --tjstrf talk 20:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Unusally good, that is. He even reversed the gravity of the glass of water he was drinking... -Biokinetica 10:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Shinji's Mask
Am I the only one who notices Shinji's mask resembles a Pharohs(Sorry, not the best speller). It has been what, a over a year?It's about as much worth mentioning as the Gaurd on the Zanpakto.(White Coyote 08:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC))

Shinji's Mask - Anime
Since there seems to be an uneasy consensus about replacing manga images with anime screenshots, should we replace the manga image of his mask to a capture from episode 110? It's clearer and in color. I'll see if I can find one. Cot ton  20:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If a good anime screenshot can be found and added without any problems (ex: copyright problems), then I say be bold go for it. // Decaimiento Poético  21:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I got an image and placed it in the article, any objections? Cot  ton  21:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. I think if I can, I'll change the main picture, it shows very little about Shinji, can't even see his face, and its very long.-- Hana ichi  10:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Merger discussion
Rather than having an edit war break out, I'd rather take the high road on this situation and start a discussion on his possible merge. I have no say in the arguement, being at a total loss right now as to what should stay and what should go with all these AfDs and mergers going on, but feel free to post your own opinions as you feel fit. // Decaimiento Poético  01:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine, lets be civil. I don't think Shinji should be merged. He plays a role bigger then the other vizards. What Artist and Hartebeest did was really really odd, not only with Shinji's page but with everything else and I have no comment about it. Moving the Quincy to the main Quincy info page, and the Vizard with the vizard, and Bounts with Bounts. Suddenly moving everything around, alot of information just got lost. I do not recall an agreement being made.-- Hana ichi  02:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

That wasn't Shinji
I don't believe that the image that you're referring to in the first volume is Shinji. It looks far more like Rukia, as it was common for Rukia's mouth to change shape in a comical manner back then. Making a connection like that seems somewhat ridiculous to me. The drawing has the same mouth. That’s the only connection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.162.134 (talk) 06:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Err no, the person is also drawn with blond hair, and Rukia doesn't have a full fringe, so its definetely Shinji.-- Hana ichi  07:12, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, there's a blond guy with a cut like Shinji's on the ch. 1 splash page.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 07:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
