The image on FauxAffablyEvil.Anime And Manga is textbook Just a Face and a Caption; it's simply Dio Brando looking smug, with no indication that he pretends to be polite.

“Go down two steps and I’ll let you join my side again. But if you’d rather die, then climb those stairs.”

I think that for subpages, an image is not as important, so I'd be fine with just pulling with no replacement.

Pull. I know Dio is a good example of the trope, but the image doesn’t show that off.

Do we have anything of Frieza calmly torturing someone? Toriyama kept him polite spefically to make his vile actions more horrifying.

@8: Wouldn't that be Affably Evil rather than Faux Affably Evil though?

Anyway, pull.

[up]No, because torture is rarely ever a tactic used by Affably Evil villains. Frieza's courtesy is all a ruse to make him seem more callous, thus Faux Affably Evil.

Is the hugging/farewell enough for 'affable'?

[up][up] I think that's better but it might be strengthened by another panel of him using polite language or something? Alone it's a weak [tup] from me.

I think the simple “goodbye” comes off as polite enough.

16 works. I don't think it needs another panel.

Im pretty sure this was the page image for Monster.Bleach before being removed for being a spoiler.

Oh, right. I think it was a weak image for CM anyway, but my opinion on the content hasn't changed; I don't think "Aizen is a villain and does bad things" is a deal breaking spoiler.

Aizen being a bad guy is surely It Was His Sled / Late-Arrival Spoiler by this point? This was a reveal in 2005 or so in the manga? I've barely read / watched Bleach and I knew about this twist before even seeing an episode.
