History Main / EyesOutOfSight

* ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'': Barb's drummer, Riff, always has his eyes obscured by his beanie cap. The only time they're exposed in some way is when he peeks his right eye out of the beanie.

* Music/{{Gorillaz}}: Noodle wore long bangs in the media surrounding ''Music/DemonDays'' (known together as "Phase 2"), hiding her eyes most of the time. While she didn't possess them for ''Music/PlasticBeach'', she had a face-concealing mask in their place. The bangs have returned occasionally for later albums, but they're nowhere near as omnipresent as they were in Phase 2.

This is for a character whose eyes are always concealed, whether they're wearing shades, OpaqueLenses, or an EyeObscuringHat. It doesn't matter what they wear to cover up their vision, whether it's shades, a hat, a mask, etc. Point is that their eyes are ''never'' seen, so we never learn what their entire face looks like. Sometimes this is done to make the character mysterious or conceal the character's weird eyes. Other times, it's done to invoke an {{emo}} look.

* ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'': Tuff has bangs that obscure his eyes, and we never see what's underneath them.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Donquixote Doflamingo's eyes are always hidden behind his CoolShades. The reason why has yet to be revealed, but a Flash Back shows that this was already the case in his childhood, and when a reader asked what was under his sunglasses, the author dodged the question by answering that he wore another identical pair of sunglasses. Whenever they are damaged in battle and the one time he is seen taking them off, alone in a private room, his eyes are conveniently out of frame, closed, or covered by his hand.

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'':
** Angemon has a helmet that covers up his eyes and we never see what his eyes look like underneath it.
** Angewoman, who is Angemon's DistaffCounterpart, wears a helmet that obscures her eyes. Her eyes are never shown.
* ''Anime/DigimonGhostGame'': Angoramon's bangs usually cover his eyes. In fact, on the rare occasion that his eyes are visible under them, it's a sign that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness something's very wrong]].

* Manga/PrincessJellyfish: Jiji's eyes never show up through her opaque glasses. Bamba and Mayaya have eye obscuring bangs, but in the manga, Mayaya's eyes show up in a few dramatic moments.

* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'': Blind Von Herder always wears a blindfold around his eyes. There's even an omake joke where someone takes it off and he's wearing another one underneath it.

* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': Besides some flashback as a child, the titular character has always worn his CoolShades and never removed them.

* Lucy Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' always has her eyes covered by her hair. Even when she was shown as a baby several times, she either wore an EyeObscuringHat or already had her bangs grown. Considering the reason why her parents let her hair grow out as said in one episode, her eyes must have been creepy enough for them to not want to look at.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Robin constantly wears his domino mask, even when on a date or hanging out with the other Titans, which hides his eyes. In his one significant costume change in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', he wears sunglasses instead.

This is for a character whose eyes are always concealed, whether they're wearing shades, OpaqueLenses, an EyeObscuringHat, or have BlindingBangs, and their eyes are never seen. It doesn't matter what they wear to cover up their vision, whether it's shades, a hat, a mask, etc. Point is that their eyes are ''never'' seen, so we never learn what their entire face looks like. Sometimes this is done to make the character mysterious or conceal the character's weird eyes. Other times, it's done to invoke an {{emo}} look.

* Manga/PrincessJellyfish: Jiji's eyes never show up through her opaque glasses. Bamba and Mayaya have BlindingBangs, but in the manga, Mayaya's eyes show up in a few dramatic moments.

* ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'': Tuff has BlindingBangs, and we never see what's underneath them.

* ''Literature/BadKitty'': Stinky Kitty has BlindingBangs and in "Happy Birthday, Bad Kitty", it's noted that no one ever dares to see what his eyes look like under his hair because [[ThePigPen he smells so terrible]].

* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Barkley the dog has BlindingBangs and his eyes have never been seen.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': The Mole, who always wears [[BlindPeopleWearSunglasses sunglasses]], and Cro-Marmot, whose eyes are [[BlindingBangs obscured by his hair]].

* The [[TheMenInBlack Majestic 12]] in ''Webcomic/TryingHuman'' have eyes hidden in various ways (BlindingBangs, SinisterShades, a cloth with an eye symbol, etc.), except 6, who's an artificial lifeform, and 12, who's new. Except when he acts in cruel, inhumane, man-in-black ways, shadows or his own hair hide his eyes. Conversely, when 8, who normally has BlindingBangs, acts human, moral or vulnerable, her eyes peek out from behind the hair. Glassner, HerrDoktor of the Area51, is wearing SinisterShades. Hiddenness of eyes seems to symbolise inhumanity, in short, although Pigment, one half of a BattleCouple vigilante duo and an indisputable good gal, wears a pair of pink goggles when out heroing. But that might be to protect both her eyes and her identity.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheEpicTalesOfCaptainUnderpants'': Bo Hweemuth has BlindingBangs, and we've never once seen his eyes underneath his hair, so it's unknown if he has the same BlackBeadEyes as everyone else.

* ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'': Ongo has BlindingBangs and, with the exception of when he looks through binoculars in "Queen's Birthday" and "A Day at the Races" and we see his pupils, we never see the rest of his eyes under that hair.

* Lucy Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' always has her eyes covered by her hair. Even when she was shown as a baby several times, she either wore an EyeObscuringHat or already had her BlindingBangs grown. Considering the reason why her parents let her hair grow out as said in one episode, her eyes must have been creepy enough for them to not want to look at.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'': Schaeffer the Dog's eyes are always covered by his BlindingBangs.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'': Hawkodile always wears CoolShades. It is shown in "Action Forest" that he used to have BlindingBangs when he was younger, and when Eagleator steals his shades from him in that same episode, we only see him from behind before he covers his eyes with a blindfold. It's said that Hawkodile is so used to wearing the shades that his eyes can no longer tolerate the sunlight.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Tedd and Edward Verres both wear opaque glasses at the start of the comic, which hide their eyes. [[spoiler: Tedd's eyes get revealed a year into the run (2003), at which point Tedd reveals he only wears his opaque glasses to hide his "girly" eyes, which he got bullied for. He later stops doing this, since he has accepted his androgynous appearance. Mr. Verres's eyes wouldn't get revealed until ''2022'' after his glasses got knocked off in a battle with Liam Tyrantslayer, at which point it was revealed he had heterochromia.]]

* ''Literature/SprawlTrilogy'': As part of her extensive combat augmentations, Molly Millions has had non-retractable one-way mirrors implanted over her eyes, so that nobody ever sees the latter.
** In ''Literature/{{Neuromancer}}'', Case constantly wonders about her eye color -- which remains an open mystery in the end, even after one of Molly's shades is broken in a fight.[[note]]Her eye underneath is also injured and so swollen that the iris cannot be seen.[[/note]] Symbolically, the mirror shades represent Molly's inability to let anyone get close to her, emotionally, since the eyes are the windows of the soul and she uses technology to actively prevent anyone from peering into hers.

* Manga/PrincessJellyfish: Jiji's eyes never show up through her glasses. Bamba and Mayaya have BlindingBangs, but in the manga, Mayaya shows her eyes in a few dramatic moments.
** [[spoiler: In the manga, Mayaya explains she hides her eyes because when she was a kid, they earned her the nickname "contract killer" from the other children. She is forced to pull her bangs back when she becomes Tsukimi's model; much for everybody's surprise, Mayaya's eyes are stunning, but she doesn't believe it when they tell her that.]]
** [[spoiler:In chapter 84, Jiji takes off her glasses when she volunteers to replace Kuranosuke in the fashion show, showing her black eye. Bamba follows suit pulling her hair back. Her eyes are big and clear-colored (not sure what color, because the scene is in black and white.]]

* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'': Several characters, such as Jimmy T. (and by extension, his entire family), Orbulon, Dr. Crygor and 18-Volt, have their eyes hidden behind glasses (or in the case of Dr. Crygor, a visor) and are rarely, if never shown. Orbulon's eyes however, were barely visible in one cutscene in ''Twisted'' and, if the glasses are removed via hacking (which is possible since his glasses are a completely different sprite from him), [[https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/906718956060377089 completely visible]].

* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'': Several of the main characters, such as Jimmy T., Dr. Crygor and 18-Volt have their eyes hidden behind glasses (or in the case of Dr. Crygor, a visor) and are never shown. Orbulon is a more downplayed case, as although he never takes off his sunglasses, his eyes were barely visible in one cutscene in ''Twisted'' and, if the glasses are removed via hacking (which is possible since his glasses are a completely different sprite from him), [[https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/906718956060377089 completely visible]].
