Maybe something that is well known that falls into It Was His Sled territory?

Except that had you actually read the corresponding example, you'd know that Tohsaka gets better. And last time I checked, characters getting injured in an action-y story wasn't a spoiler. In fact, that was the reason why that picture was selected for that page in the first place. But hey, who cares about the context, right?

I personally think this pic is perfect for the page— the trail of blood shows that she hit the wall and then slid down, which would normally be hard to convey in a static image.
On the subject of spoilerishness: Normally I'm averse to spoilers, but considering she's not even dead in this pic, it seems a bit much. I'm not sure how big a spoiler this is for the series, considering I don't watch it, but it seems the pic is less of a spoiler than a form of Never Trust a Trailer.
Then again, I'm not terribly informed about the show— I just watch the trope and would hate to see a good image go to waste.

Someone that haven't seen the series, wouldn't know the context of the situation. I know it exemplifies the trope perfectly, but it's an spoiler no matter what. If you don't know the context, then you would think she dies, if you read the spoilered mark part or are explained the situation, you would know that she doesn't die, and that she doesn't die at all in the series, so this scene wouldn't be as powerfull as it was meant becuase you already knew the result, which what a spoiler is.
It's not a spoiler though, it's at best a false spoiler since people think that's whats going to happen but doesn't. It's a good image for the trope IMO.
Pulling it was way jumping the gun there

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!
A "false spoiler" it's a spoiler, specially if the reader has to go trhough the spoiler block in the example to get the concept(which someone who thinks has already been spoiled, could probably do), and anyway the caption had a Pot Hole to Only a Flesh Wound.
Considering the gems she uses all the time before that scene it's not a spoiler that she desnt die.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!So you are telling me having a picture of a character bleeding profusely, which lead everyone who sees it without previous knwoledge, to believe she dies, and a Pot Hole to Only a Flesh Wound which confirms to everybody that she doesn't, isn't an spoiler?
Either way, I' guessing this happens on a very important part of the show, probably the resolution of something, but with that knwoledge once i'll see it, I'll know that she gets wonded but doesn't die it won't be as impactfull as it would with no knwoledge of it at all. That sounds like a spoiler to me.
I already said it, The image ilustrates PERFECTLY the trope, but it's an spoiler no matter how you see it.

Remove the pothole then.
Due to the context of this scene, its pretty much perfect.
the fight where this happens takes place "offscreen", when you find her, she hands over a magic dagger she hid (somewhere...), and says she'll be fine, go kill the bad guy. And then it turns out that she was right, she will be fine!

Nominations for replacement images:

This is a death trope, so having an imagge will invariably be an spoiler.
Personally, I was spoiled by the current pic which is this one:
