Magikarp Power really would work best with a before/after picture, or a before/grind/after picture.

Agreed, that's a slam-dunk.

That was the first picture I ever put up.

No way. Leave the current image. It's awesome.

Showing the trope namer, without the trope? That's awesome?

And the text doesn't really show the trope. It's more like a "Someday I'll show them all" comment.

The only other one that comes to mind is this but that only make sense if you know about DBZ.

Deboss' image is a little blurry, and also very tall. How about this condensed version instead?

I'm fine with that. I had to zoom the later panels, that's why it's blurry.

This image is just as funny and more clear.

Atz version is better than mine. Crowner time? Or were there any other propositions?

I like the Atz/Deboss picture, it captures the trope quite well. The current image, aside from being poorly drawn, conveys more of a Napoleon Complex than Magikarp Power.

Ah well, the new one is the better illustration. I concede.
