There's no easy answer here. Take the whole Fate franchise for example. Multiple characters appearing in multiple series across multiple time lines. To the extent possible, avoid duplicates. Upload a character to the first title they appeared in, then link them to each title they appear in. Changing the image as required.

This Guide will be expanded to cover every type of duplicate and give you an idea what to do, using examples.

New Version

  • No Duplicate
  • Update the character's thumb and image to use the new appearance
  • Use additional images to reflect the old appearance on the old title

There's a growing trend of remaking 90's anime with new art styles. When this happens, do not make a duplicate. Instead link t he character to the new title, then use an additional image to show the new art style.

Parody Series

  • Duplicate

In the case of Sailor Moon h-game, I think it best to have a degree of separation between the parody and official characters.

Personality Change

  • Duplicate, depending on extent

I found Evil Phase Iruma to be a new character in their own right.

Hero Costumes

  • No Duplicate

Saitama / Caped Baldy, Izuku Midoriya / Deku and others like them, I do not feel need duplicates or any special actions. You can use Aliases to note their Hero name, and Additional Images to show their normal and hero appearances.

Secret Identities

  • Duplicate

When the Hero intends to hide who they are, it may be best to add a duplicate. Such as Darien Shields / Tuxedo Mask

Cross Franchise

  • Avoid duplicates

There's no easy answer here. Take the whole Fate franchise for example. Multiple characters appearing in multiple series across multiple time lines. To the extent possible, avoid duplicates. Upload a character to the first title they appeared in, then link them to each title they appear in. Changing the image as required.
