Suggestion: Pure Is Not Good

Go To

This scene from Dragon Ball Z is a pretty good representation of this trope. Here's the same scene in the original right-to-left format. Whichever one works.

Opened; can't look at the suggestions right now.

Well, it illustrates the trope rather well. It's mostly just characters talking, though, so more text than illustration, but the trope is clear from it, and it's not that much text. So it's okay, and the trope is probably hard to illustrate with pure imagery anyway. That said, it's kind of the same as the quotation already on the page.

Also, always left-to-right, unless it doesn't matter for comprehension (i.e. order of bubbles doesn't matter). This is an English-language wiki.

1.1 is acceptable.

I highly doubt this can be illustrated without text anyways, so sure, that works.

It is better than nothing, IMO.

As long as it's legible at wiki size.

It is wiki-sized.

See?

Wait, is that an actual quote, not a parody,because it sounds too hilarious to be one.

Anyhow, another [tup]

Probably sounds better in Japanese. If you understand Japanese. Or maybe better if you don't, at worst...

I made a version with the large top panel cut out. I don't think it's necessary. Unless the characters' reaction to pure evil is somehow an essential part of the trope.

I also made the panels go top down. It works better for webpages than left-to-right.

[up]The top part adds more context onto the scene by heavily implying that the two children thought "pure heart" means "pure good", which makes it better, in my opinion.

Therefore, supporting 9.

I prefer the three panel version. Also because that two panel with its unequally sized panels looks jarring to me.

I believe that the non-cropped picture is better.

Also prefer the three-panel one. It just adds a little extra that's just lacking in the two-panel one. It's kind of what tips the scale between "illustrating" and "might as well be a page quotation".

[tdown] to 15 for aforementioned reasons. Another vote or two for 9 and we can run with it.

Count me as a [tup] for the three-panel version in #9

I think establishing the idea that you need a pure heart to get something is important context so I prefer the OP's suggestion.

Good enough; 9 is up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no? I'm good to go without.

Yeah, it's texty enough without a caption.
