The trope As Lethal as It Needs to Be is about the same weapon and moves killing some characters but only stunning others. The image, though, is two characters doing a Blade Lock with Laser Blade (and it is very similar to the image on those two pages, too). So it's pretty much a duplicate and illustrates the wrong trope: whether or not you can parry a laser blade has little to do with its lethality.

(this was picked by IP some six years ago, but that thread is less "we love this pic" and more "well, I guess it's better than nothing"; plus our standards have evolved in those six years).

The current As Lethal as It Needs to Be image was moved off of Guest Fighter (and replaced by another Soul Calibur image): is there any interest in moving it back?

[up] I think the current on Guest Fighter is clearer on both the "fighter" and the "guest" aspects.

As suggested by the previous thread, maybe add an image of Darth Vader's lightsaber cutting through metal above the current?

Bump. Seems to be some consensus to at least pull the current.

Yeah, and since the clock's going to be up in a few hours, I've gone ahead with the pull. The tag's updated; locking up.

No blade is sharper than the plot.
