History Main / BlankWhiteEyes

* Practically ''everybody'' in the supporting cast of ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' has Blank White Eyes at some point in the game. Even in the TearJerker levels. (Ironically, the agents are some of the characters who ''don't'' get Blank White Eyes; because they're always wearing CoolShades).

* ''Manga/BungouStrayDogs'' has this with Chuya's Corruption mode in chapter 31.

* Kimihito, the protagonist of ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', has this as his default expression more or less, usually due to being in the middle of shenanigans caused by his UnwantedHarem. The few moments of seriousness are punctuated by his eyes being completely normal.

* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'': Humans whose [[SoullessShell Shadows are destroyed]] end up with pupil-less white eyes and dark blood bleeding out of their mouths. This includes the subway conductor who crashes a train near the beginning of the game.

* PlayedForLaughs in the VideoGame/{{Neptunia}} series, where it can be used to express anything from excitement to nervousness to shock to exasperation to frustration. Humorously, [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2451897 the black circle is thick and solid]], making it look like the characters' eyes have been replaced by Oreos.

* Done quite a few times on the {{Animesque}} show ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Robin has them as a permanent part of his mask, presumably something he picked up from his [[{{Franchise/Batman}} mentor]].

* In ''Film/Scanners'', has a teporary example, Vale use his scanner power on Revok causes Revok's eyes turns blank white, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqDmKeFc6Ns here]], and also appears in the movie poster.

* In ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'', Guts' eyes (or his good eye post-Eclipse) going completely white is as much of a danger sign as the GlowingEyesOfDoom. Guts has two berserk modes: TranquilFury (rarely seen) and the White Eyes. [[UhOhEyes When the white eyes appear]], it means that he is completely consumed by UnstoppableRage, and that anything within the reach of his {{BFS}} is going to die very, very messily.

** This is pretty much the default expression of anyone who sees Rakan do his usual things.

* In comic books the superheroes having white eyes large or small, dates all the way back to the ComicStrip/ThePhantom whose artist Lee Falk was inspired by Greek busts. Falk explained the lack of irises gave a “inhuman” quality to the statues which he repurposed for his hero The Phantom. The trend has stuck with characters to this day.

** Lee gets these when [[spoiler:Sakura confesses that she loves Naruto]], and looks fairly upset afterward.

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
