Doesn't demonstrate the trope at all... I don't have any alternate suggestions but I vote we at least pull it.

Even if that image did make any sense, you'd have to know that the guy on the right isn't actually from the series. Or something. I have no idea what the image is trying to say.

Motion to pull

I'm assuming the point is that the guy on the right is an expy from another series by the same creator.

That said, it's not a good picture. Pull. Maybe someone can make a collage of all Miyazaki's female characters or something.

I think we can use the current as a part of a multi-part image. In other parts, we show the guy's other appearances.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Agreed, it takes work foreknowledge for the current one to work. Support the pull.

At the risk of being out of scope I notice the TRS thread is favoring a rename to Reused Character Design. If that's what this trope is we'll need to be careful to differentiate between a shared character design and one character in different situations.

+1 to pull. A collage of Miyazaki or Tezuka characters might be best for this.

Uh...the page says it's no longer a trope. So...does it need an image?

Technically, no page needs a pic, but they're nice. I don't care one way or the other on this one.

Wouldn't the picture go on Reused Character Design? Star System is just a disambiguation page now.

[up] We'd need a collage of characters from several different works showing the designs being reused...that pic just doesn't do a good enough job by itself.
