Wow, that... that is a horrible image.
Seconding pull(? I'm not sure if you can motion for pull in the OP, though)
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."I agree. It's not a good image. Support motion to pull.
If no one comments/objects within 24 hours of OP, pull should be enforced.
We're trying out a new protocol, people were upset with how fast the pulls were being made. So, carry on, offer support, make suggestions, whatever you want to do.
Fight smart, not fair.Perhaps this page could use an image, but I agree that the picture shown right now does not demonstrate the trope. Preferably, we could arrange it like a small 4-panel comic in which someone receives an attack, looks incredulously at the attacker as he is seemingly left unscathed, and tries to strike back at the attacker only to collapse shortly after. It could be from Fist Of The North Star or from something else altogether, as long as it demonstrates the trope.
Someone up to the challenge?

"Suffer a vicious person and you will fear vice. Suffer a virtuous one and you will soon loathe virtue itself." Tony DuvertYeah, that's not helpful at all. Supporting pull.
As much as I like Ken, yeah, that's JAFAAC. Supporting the pull as well.
As for the replacement... A picture of someone with a timebomb on his back comes to mind... somewhat like this◊, but a little better-looking, with a caption that goes: "he doesn't know yet..." or something. Let's see if it exist somewhere on the net.

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".+1 to pull.
Collage?
1)Some guy
2)Ken's finger point, catchphrase in subtitles
3)Guy explodes.
Agree with pull. It's JAFAAC. Getting a good replacement's going to be tricky though. The collage idea seems to be the best so far.
What about Frieza from Dragonball Z? Have two frames, one of him staring at Trunks in awe, and then another of his top half sliding off the bottom.
Dunno if anyone's familiar with Getbackers but there's a scene where Dr. Jackal slices someone up and the victim falls apart and dies several panels later.
idk if anyone will be able to find it since Getbackers seems to be one of the harder manga to find online but just throwin it out there
Brook from One Piece might make a good page image. Wouldn't have to do a collage either, just a picture of him sheathing his sword while somebody gets slashed in the background. There's loads of characters with attacks like that, can anyone find one?
If you need the videos to get screen shots from, you can find them here.
Fight smart, not fair.On a related note, the page quote sucks.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.Adannor's suggestion sounds good.
somethingNow that you mention it, the page quote probably could stand to be removed or changed, since it's just repeating the trope name.
Though that's another discussion for another time.
Getting back on topic, I agree with Adannor, since I kind of want to keep it Fot NS-related.
If someone can put Adannor's suggestion together, that should work.
Adannor's suggestion sounds good to me; the current image should definitely go.
Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.Now here's the big question: we all agree the page image needs to be replaced, but who among us is not lazy enough to actually do it?
not me
We may want to figure out a way to add a clock of some sort to these. I'll just forget about it if no one else pulls.
Fight smart, not fair.Same here...this is a good system but without some sort of reminder, these are gonna get buried at the rate that we're making new threads.
Does your clock do anything else? Does it send up a little note on when it expired? If so, you can add a 24 hour clock with a note "pull vote" or some such.
Fight smart, not fair.Nope, all it does is put the date it ends at the top of the thread and on the thread title. Anything else would have to be a Tech Wishlist request.
On the subject of the page quote, I think the description of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique from Kill Bill would be perfect. Any seconds?
Also, I've been going over One Piece episodes to try to find a scene where Brook does his signature sword slash for the page image, but there's so many of them and I haven't had any luck. Anyone better than me at it want to give it a try? Edit: I found it, its on episode 357, but it's not a very good picture anyways, its just him sheathing his sword with a red background, you can't really see what's going on.
As far as Fist Of The North Star goes, this is the only one I could find that works: [1]. I don't like it, but since nobody else seems willing to step up, do people at least think its good enough for Keep Until Better Image Suggested?

It doesn't show the trope. It's just Ken staring you down.
Motion to pull.
