History Main / TriangleShades

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Ash's Squirtle has a pair that he whips out every now and then, which signifies his role as TheLeader of the Squirtle Squad (the other Squirtle instead wear round sunglasses). So do various members of Team Rocket, especially Meowth.

* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''
** Kamina starts off with a pair, and everybody gets in on the act towards the end of the series. They've become so associated with him and considered such a defining trait that "Kamina shades" is a very common term used to refer to this style of sunglasses. This trope also applies to the Gurren, Kamina's personal mecha. Gurren's shades are also sharp enough to double as a sword and a boomerang.
** [[spoiler:Simon tops it off towards the end of the series, with his shades becoming ''star-shaped''! ( which is like the original, with three pointed tips added)]]
** And topped off once more with [[spoiler:Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] in ''Lagann-hen'' which manifests '''galaxy-sized Kamina's shades'''.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Ash's Squirtle has a pair that he whips out every now and then, which signifies his role as TheLeader of the Squirtle Squad (the other Squirtle instead wear round sunglasses). So do various members of Team Rocket, especially Meowth.

* Franky from ''Anime/OnePiece''.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Old Man Zangetsu wears a wraparound variety of these.
* Toguro the younger in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.

* A Gazimon is briefly seeing wearing a pair in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure''. And by "briefly" we mean that Taichi accidentally broke them with a soccer ball to the face shortly thereafter.
** [=SuperStarmon=] of ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' and ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime'', as well as Starmon of ''Anime/DigimonFusion'', perpetually wear them.
* Akane from ''Anime/VividredOperation'' puts on these types of shades when she tries to disguise herself in Episode 3. The kicker? They are the ''Exact'' [[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GSHPwqOkofw/VaeOcss2PlI/AAAAAAAAk8w/0OZlTlmlp60/w346-h194/wfegrhtjyujhngbfvd.PNG same shade of red as Kamina's]]. Her grandpa pulls them out again in episode 6. %% He doesn't quote Kamina's catchphrase - that was a GagSub %%

* Mouser from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' and Boshi from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' wear them, almost identical to Squirtle's, as mentioned above.

* Proto Man from ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' similarly wears these as part of his helmet. The official art heavily implies that he wears ''[[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:Helmetless_Protoman.png another]]'' set of Triangle Shades under the ones on his helmet.
* You can buy a pair in ''VideoGame/{{Transformice}}''.
* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'''s Sissel has a pair of these. [[spoiler:Yomiel, the person whose body Sissel mistakenly thought was his, has these too.]] These carry on even after [[spoiler: Sissel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NJikFH0erM#t=1m37s loses Yomiel's image]] and reverts to the blueish blob shape all ghosts start out as and Yomiel seems to have drawn a pair of triangle shades onto his "face" after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NJikFH0erM#t=0m50s pulling a body together]] out of random items he found in the submarine.]]

* Kamikaze Bomber from ''[[VideoGame/{{Bomberman94}} Bomberman '94]]'' and Metal Bomber from ''[[VideoGame/SuperBomberman Super Bomberman 3]]'' wear them. For a lesser-known example, Carat Diamond wears them instead of his round shades in the story manga in the ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman'' guidebook.
* Milky Nezumi from ''VideoGame/NezumiMan'', since he's a ShoutOut to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]].

* The enemy "Spiteful Crow" in ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}''

* Present Mic has yellow-orange triangular sunglasses but they aren’t scalene, they’re equilateral triangles. He appears to wear them out of costume too as he’s clearly sporting a pair in the flashback to his U.A. student days. He may also have an off duty pair that are a little more round on the bottom but we only see those once and it’s hard to tell if they’re different or just a variation in how he’s drawn.

* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': Pointed shades are built into the helmets of [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger GokaiSilver]] and [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Red Buster]], and his EvilCounterpart Dark Buster. All of the members of ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' have triangular glasses that allow them to see into the Nouto dimension. In their transformed states they all have visors shaped in this style that stick out the sides of their helmets.
