| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * The Ryugu Shelter arc from ''Manga/SevenSeeds'' includes [[spoiler: a disease carried that involves parasitoids that feast off the host's body for as long as possible. Once the incubation time is through, the parasitoids ''eat their way out through the eyeballs'']]! |
| 13 | * In ''Anime/AfroSamurai'', Brother Two is forever using a pair of digital binoculars. He dies when Afro pulls his eyes out and ''shoves the binoculars into his skull'' -- complete with one last shot of the binocular viewpoint, blood oozing over the lenses. |
| 14 | * In ''Literature/{{Another}}'', Mei Misaki lost an eye as a little girl due to illness, so she has a fake one (made by her doll-maker mother) behind an EyepatchOfPower. In the manga, however, she gets stabbed through her empty eye by [[spoiler:Izumi Akazawa]]. |
| 15 | * In ''Manga/ArataTheLegend'', Kadowaki has his eye ripped out by Akachi's Hayagami. |
| 16 | * ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': [[spoiler:Shiro/Yanagisawa got his left eye pierced with a piece of glass thrown out by the newly-created Koro-sensei when he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against him and the scientists that made him.]] |
| 17 | * ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': |
| 18 | ** One unlucky scout lost his eyes (among other injuries) when his team was overwhelmed by Titans summoned by the Female Titan. As a Titan prepares to devour him, he spends his last moments begging someone to warn the other scouts of the Female Titan, unable to see that he is the last survivor of his team (for a few seconds anyway). |
| 19 | ** Gouging a Titan's eyes out is a fairly viable tactic, as they recoil in pain and are blind until they regenerate them. This presents humans with a window of opportunity to go for the neck and put the abomination down for good. |
| 20 | * Subverted at 1:26 of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'''s infamous "[[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=37mPoKQijj8&feature=related Osaka and the Knife]]" scene, in a possible parody of the aforementioned ''Film/UnChienAndalou''. |
| 21 | * ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler'' has a lot of attacks aimed to the eyes, but most are avoided. Early on the series, Baki fights against a giant, intelligent and vicious ape, and pops its eye with his bare hands. The beast screams... and then it completely rips the eye and ''eats it''. |
| 22 | ** Inverted in a later chapter when Baki breaks someone's fingers hitting them with ''his own'' eyeballs. He was also crying blood after it, but still... |
| 23 | * You want a real-life depiction of EyeScream? Watch the Atomic Bomb Scene in ''Manga/BarefootGen.'' [[spoiler: Within the first minute of said scene, ''an innocent little girl has her eyeballs MELTED OUT OF HER HEAD.'' And that is followed up by several other people getting caught in the initial blast of the Little Boy; as the victims are roasted alive in the heat of the explosion, their eyes turn to sludge, drip out of their skulls, and evaporate as they crinkle into burnt husks. Post-bombing, several people who barely survived the sheer heat of the bomb (but are as good as dead anyways) have their eyeballs hanging out of their face, half-melted.]] |
| 24 | * The manga version of ''Literature/BattleRoyale'' has several, mostly courtesy of [[TheSociopath Kiriyama]]. The first comes in a flashback scene where a [[ArrogantKungFuGuy bullying Judo teacher]] made the mistake of pushing Kiriyama around, and Kiriyama simply stuck a finger into his eye, then dragged him around by the stalk for a bit before squashing the eyeball between his fingers. Later in a fight with [[WarriorPoet Sugimura]], Kiriyama stabs Sugi in one eye with a handmade wooden throwing dagger… |
| 25 | ** In a bit of irony, Kiriyama [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma takes one to that eye as well, in the exact same place]]]]. He can see the parallel to the situations as it's being thrown at him. Due to SanitySlippage, he can also see Sugimura, injured eye and all. |
| 26 | ** The movie version has Kiriyama walking out of a burning house with bleeding eyes... Well, those ''used'' to be his eyes, anyway. It's heavily implied his eyes were either pulped in the explosion, or were sizzled out of his head by the flames. Granted, he still puts up a fight, blindly firing an uzi at the main characters before having [[YourHeadASplode his head a-splode]]. |
| 27 | * During the horrifying climax of the Eclipse in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', [[spoiler: Guts gets his right eye clawed into by an Apostle. This is happening as he is held down by said demonic being and a few others and ForcedToWatch as his LoveInterest, Casca, is raped to insanity by their former commander Griffith, who has become the fifth member of the Godhand Femto. What's worse is that Guts' remaining eye gets repeatedly threatened in the following arcs.]] |
| 28 | ** Chakrams can cut eyes in half… |
| 29 | ** One of Bishop Mozgus' disciples uses red-hot pliers to pull eyeballs out… |
| 30 | ** According to the manga, a good solid blow to the head -- whether by fist, hard object, or sword, -- will make your eyes pop right out. ''Every time''. Just ask the guy whom Mozgus struck on the head with his Bible. Or Bazuso, who had Guts' {{BFS}} slam down on his head and dislodge his right eye from its socket. |
| 31 | ** Also, Miura seems to have a fondness of drawing people's heads getting cut in half, right at eye level. Graphically. |
| 32 | ** And getting stabbed or shot in the eye with an arrow takes the eyeball with it. |
| 33 | ** Also, in the very beginning when Guts is fighting the Baron of Koka Castle. First, the Baron loses his left eye when Guts blows his head in half, then he loses his right eye when Guts shoots it with his crossbow during wholly unnecessary but well-deserved torture. |
| 34 | ** Casca stabs one of her would-be rapists in the eye with a stick. When the same guy comes after her, he gets his remaining eye gouged by one of Judeau's knives a moment later (only in the anime). The guy had it coming, but still. *shudder* |
| 35 | ** Serpico stabs a kelpie through the head, and then next page we see its left eyeball dangling from the socket. |
| 36 | * In the first episode of the second season of the ''Manga/BlackButler'' anime, [[CreepyChild Alois]] suddenly stabs his maidservant Hannah in the left eye. ''With two of his fingers''. Why? "A maid should never look directly at her master!" The other servants understandably have an OhCrap moment, but are then commanded to clean up the bloody mess. |
| 37 | ** And at the end of Episode 8 [[spoiler: it appears that Hannah stabs out Alois's left eye as well.]] |
| 38 | ** In Episode 9, a boy goes around stabbing out the eyes of several young boys. |
| 39 | ** In the manga, Freckles aka Doll has bangs that fall over a majority of one side of her face to cover some sort of disfigurement or scarring and a very damaged eye. |
| 40 | ** Ciel himself was subject to this when he made the contract with Sebastian. Getting that insignia on his eye was not without screams and blood. |
| 41 | * Akari of ''Black Joke'' tears a man's eye out [[http://www.mangareader.net/black-joke/6/15 with a spoon]]. |
| 42 | * Lampshaded in the [[LetsPlay/ChipCheezum Chip and Ironicus]] review of ''Anime/BlackLion'': |
| 43 | --> "I've noticed that's a thing, with anime that likes to be violent; they really like having eyeballs squish out of skulls." |
| 44 | * Used then averted in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' when Kenpachi uses this against [[spoiler: Nnoitra.]] He stabs his opponent's eyepatch as he's going to attack, saying that the eye socket is the most vulnerable place, something he knows from experience on account of having killed other people who claim their skin is too tough cut by just stabbing them in the eye. [[spoiler: It turns out that Nnoitra's eyepatch is actually to cover up his complete lack of eye; where his left eye is supposed to be is his Hollow hole.]] |
| 45 | ** Kenpachi himself could qualify. He has both his eyes, but the one deliberately covered by the eyepatch has some kind of ''thing'' on the inside, with ''teeth'', devouring Kenpachi's overflowing spiritual pressure. Developed by the 12th division, indeed. |
| 46 | ** At least one ability of Ulquiorra's requires him to pull out his own eye and then crush it in his hand. Made less disturbing by the fact that it grows back later. Made more disturbing by him [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction spending the rest of the scene standing around unconcernedly with a gaping eye socket]], though in the anime he closes his eyelid. |
| 47 | ** And in Chapter 450 of the manga, [[spoiler: Ginjo seriously injures Ichigo's eyes during their fight.]] Lampshaded by the chapter's name "Blind Solitude". Though [[spoiler: Ichigo]] gets better in the following chapters. |
| 48 | ** And later, during Ichigo's fight with Ulquiorra, [[{{Yandere}} Loly and Menoly]] show up again, torture Orihime, and try to kill her again. When Ichigo notices this he charges after them in anger, and Loly threatens to tear out Orihime's eye. She didn't get the chance to, but clearly wanted to, given her irrational jealousy towards the girl. |
| 49 | ** PlayedForLaughs in the Soul Society arc, when [[http://solcito93.tumblr.com/post/16764344792/the-cutenesssssssssss cat!Yoruichi headbutts Orihime in the right eye for using her powers in the wrong moment and thus putting herself in danger.]] |
| 50 | ** An example [[http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/497/12 is from 497]], when [[spoiler: Shunsui]] gets shot in the eye by [[spoiler: Robert from the Vandereich.]] From then on, the character at the receiving end uses an EyepatchOfPower. |
| 51 | ** In Chapter 569, Byakuya quickly shreds [[spoiler:As Nodt's [[TheWallsHaveEyes wall of eyes]] to prevent his DeadlyGaze from working on him.]] |
| 52 | ** In 664, [[spoiler: Askin subjects Urahara to this by using his Vollstanding to create a Poison Ring, grafting said Ring in Urahara's eye, and then ''imploding'' it.]] |
| 53 | * In ''Manga/Brave10'', [[spoiler:Ana]] tries to carve out Rokuro's [[MagicalEye Water Crest eye]]. [[spoiler:He promised Yukimura he wouldn't let anyone touch it, so he leans up into her blade himself to damage it irreparably.]] |
| 54 | * ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': During her fight with the rose [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent homunculus]] Hanabusa during the A New Life arc, Tokiko jams her fingers into her opponent's eyes and rips them out before beheading her with a blade from her Valkyrie Skirt. |
| 55 | * Happens twice so far in ''Manga/CageOfEden''. First, the characters fall victim to poisonous berries that cause their eyes to become bloodshot, until the are swollen with blood and they burst. {{Squick}}. Later, a large bird rips out and swallows the eye of its still-living prey. |
| 56 | * ''Manga/CaseClosed'': |
| 57 | ** In the NonSerialMovie ''The Last Wizard of the Century'', the three murder victims are shot through their left eyes. [[spoiler: The killer, a DarkActionGirl named Seiran "Scorpion" Hoshi, does so because she's a descendant of Rasputin, whose post-RasputinianDeath body was found without its left eye. She attempts to do it to Conan, but his new bulletproof glasses save him. Oh, and one of the victims survived -- he was Kaito KID and he was wearing a special HighClassGlass.]] |
| 58 | ** Inspector Kansuke Yamato, the local HandicappedBadass, both lost his left eye (which he keeps permanently closed, [[ScarsAreForever thanks to two big scars on it]]) ''and'' got a huge injury on his leg in [[SnowMeansDeath a snow avalanche]] that he ''barely'' survived to. |
| 59 | ** Superintendent Kiyonaga Matsumoto sports a LARGE scar across his left eye, meaning he was subjected to this in the past. [[spoiler: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/detective_conan/v64/c670/3.html He got it]] while chasing after a dangerous SerialKiller, who used his [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] to slash Matsumoto across said eye. He retaliated by taking the guy's katana and slashing him across the back.]] |
| 60 | ** One of the VERY few hints about the NumberTwo of the Black Organization's identity is that they lack an eye. (The others are that [[spoiler: he's a man]] and anoher is that [[spoiler: he uses a cane]].) Among those who fit in are [[spoiler: the aforementioned Inspector Yamato]], [[spoiler: his boss Hyoue Kuroda (who has half his face ''horribly'' scarred around his eyes)]] and [[spoiler: Rumi Wakasa (a woman who lacks peripheral sight from her right eye for currently unknown reasons, which may or may not include this trope)]] |
| 61 | ** In a manga case, a promising basketball player was elbowed in the eye by a teammate [[CareerEndingInjury and couldn't play any longer.]] [[spoiler: It was done on request of a jealous fellow teammate, who only intended to injure but ''not'' severely hurt the other. The culprit then began to blackmail the jealous one, who killed him in retaliation.]] |
| 62 | * Episode 11 of ''Anime/{{Charlotte}}'' features [[spoiler: Yuu getting his right eye slashed]] by one of the terrorists. |
| 63 | ** Also just barely subverted in Episode 7, where [[spoiler: Yuu ''considers'' doing this to a guy he fights]], though there's still an extended shot of him holding a skewer over the guy's eye. |
| 64 | * ''Manga/ChoujinSensen'': Readers should expect a few eyeballs being gouged out during each fight. |
| 65 | * Creator/{{CLAMP}} seems to have a definite [[AuthorAppeal eye fetish]] for all the times characters end up losing/going blind in one eye. Depending on how dark the particular series is, the event may be a comparatively gentle loss of sight in the eye while the eye itself remains intact; in other cases, however, the eye itself may be physically damaged or even violently torn out. There's generally a "loss of innocence" or "uncomfortable revelation" motif tied to the loss of an eye, but it's also often played as a dramatic sign of devotion. This trope, along with [[HoYay another trope they're known for]] has become so prevalent in their works, in fact, that their fanbase's motto is "every time you deny a shounen-ai pairing, CLAMP put another eye out." |
| 66 | ** Seishirou Sakurazuka in ''Manga/TokyoBabylon'' loses an eye while protecting his special friend Subaru, and it was implied that he would likely go blind in the other eye as a result. |
| 67 | ** Subsequently in ''Manga/{{X1999}}'', Subaru gets his eye torn out by Fuuma during their fight. Since Fuuma's gig at that time was granting people's darkest innermost wishes, it turns out that Subaru ''wanted'' to lose his eye out of a feeling of guilt for Seishirou losing ''his'' eye back in Tokyo Babylon. (He even briefly sees Fuuma as Seishirou, ffs!) |
| 68 | ** In the manga, [[spoiler: Fuuma finds and then gives Seishirou's good eye to Subaru after the other's death. It seems Seishirou's wish was to [[HoYay eliminate any mark left by another man on Subaru]]. By accepting the eye Subaru also accepts Seishirou's powers and title as the Sakurazukamori, AND his role as a dragon or earth. It is later revealed that he does not wish do die anymore because it would mean that Seishirou's eye would die with him.]] |
| 69 | ** Doumeki and Watanuki go back and forth over this one in ''Manga/XxxHOLiC''. After Doumeki brushes a demonic spiderweb off Watanuki, he starts to go blind in one eye as a result of the [[DisproportionateRetribution spider demon's vengeance]]. Watanuki then makes a deal to take the spider demon's vengeance on himself, resulting in ''him'' going blind in one eye. Doumeki gets pissed off when he finds out that Watanuki has done this, and strikes a deal that he will share half ''his'' eye with Watanuki, giving them both oddly colored but functional eyesight. |
| 70 | ** Kokuyo in ''Manga/{{Wish}}'' gives Hisui his left eye as a sign of their lovers' bond. |
| 71 | ** In the ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' WhamEpisode, Fai uses magic openly for the first time when attempting to [[spoiler: prevent the clone of Syaoran from losing his soul and turning evil.]] When he fails, [[spoiler: the clone]] rips out his eye and eats it. He intended to go on and eat the other one as well, but he got interrupted.' |
| 72 | ** In Episode 5 of ''Anime/BloodC'', Saya fights an [[EldritchAbomination Elder Bairn]] that has ''an eyeball'' for a head, which leads to this. And in the end of Episode 12, [[spoiler: BigBad Fumito blasts Saya in her left eye, also blowing off quite a part of her head. Good thing that Saya has a massive HealingFactor and thus lives to tell, but it still takes her a while to heal; in the meantime, she rips her skirt and uses the piece of cloth as an EyepatchOfPower]]. |
| 73 | ** Another fan (or possibly detractor) meme riffs on an old American proverb: "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye... and then, it's a CLAMP manga." |
| 74 | * ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': |
| 75 | ** In "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession1AsteroidBlues Asteroid Blues]]", Jet grabs a thug in a headlock and threatens to jab him in the eye with a broken beer bottle ([[HeyYouHaymaker after having smashed the thug's buddy in the face with the bottle]]). In the same episode, after dropping his injector, Asimov attempts to squeeze the bottle carrying the drug he's been using directly into his eye only to shatter it, getting glass shards in his eye. |
| 76 | ** Vicious lives up to his name in "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession25TheRealFolkBluesPart1 The Real Folk Blues (Part 1)]]" when he violently takes over leadership of the Red Dragon. The way he deals with one of the three leaders of TheSyndicate can be best summed up in these words: "[[TearsOfBlood You will shed tears of scarlet]]." |
| 77 | * In the ''Anime/CodeGeass'' spin-off Manga ''Suzaku of the Counterattack'', Schneizel [[spoiler: prevents Lelouch from using his Geass on him by ''puncturing his left eye''.]] |
| 78 | * In ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', Jenai had his eyes sliced out during a battle with Pandaemonium. Later in the series he takes off the visor he wears over his blind eyes and reveals the badly stitched-up eye sockets, explaining how the Greeks used to put coins in the eyes of the dead to help pay for their fare on the River Styx...and then proceeds to pull out bloody coins he keeps in his eye sockets, offering to pay the heroine's way to the afterlife. It's a very, ''very'' creepy scene that establishes him firmly as a villain, although his blindness is also portrayed sympathetically in a later scene. |
| 79 | * In the "Conclusion: God's War" manga arc of ''Manga/Cyborg009'', [[spoiler: Francoise aka 003]] get subjected to this ''and'' [[AnArmAndALeg loses an arm]]. [[spoiler: She's outfitted with new ones, but is so traumatized by the shit that's going on that she comes to hate them and tears those ones out after a while, and spends the rest of the arc completely blind.]] |
| 80 | * ''VideoGame/CorpseParty: Tortured Souls'': |
| 81 | ** [[DeathByAdaptation Of the two characters who aren't supposed to die]], one has a knife stabbed at an eye and bleeds out heavily, while another has a whole eyeball ripped out. |
| 82 | ** Ayumi's standin for Yuki being eyepoked and murdered in a flashback is also very explicit compared to the game. |
| 83 | * In ''Manga/DGrayMan'', [[spoiler:Road Kamelot directs several sharpened candles towards Allen. All of them miss except one, which lands straight into his left eye. Doesn't help that's the eye that detects Akuma either… It gets better, though.]] |
| 84 | ** And then we get to see his partially regrown-but-still-not-there eye-socket! |
| 85 | ** How he got the curse on his eye: in the backstory, when [[spoiler:the resurrected Mana was ordered to kill Allen]], he sliced up his face all around his left eye, leaving [[GoodScarsEvilScars a very obvious scar]] and an Akuma-detecting curse that another character quickly ceases to think of as [[CursedWithAwesome lucky for Allen]] when he briefly ends up sharing it. |
| 86 | * In the fifth episode of ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool: Side:Future'', a mutual attack between [[spoiler:Tengan and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Munakata]] results in Munakata [[SlashedThroat slashing Tengan's throat open]] and Tengan forcing a metal bar through Munakata's right eye.]] At the end of the episode, he's seen with the ruined eye bandaged as part of an EvilMakeover that shows [[SanitySlippage just how much he's losing it.]] Happens again in the sixth episode of ''Side:Despair'', where [[spoiler: Junko gouges out a trustee's eye to bypass a retina scanner.]] |
| 87 | ** Episode 11 of ''Side:Future'' reveals that this happened to [[spoiler:Great Gozu]], or rather he did it to himself. [[spoiler:In a fit of [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal despair]], he gouges out both his eyes through his mask with a knife, before stabbing himself in the heart.]] |
| 88 | * From the manga ''Dead End'': (paraphrased) "Do I ''look'' okay? I have ''needles'' where my ''eyes'' are supposed to be!" |
| 89 | * In ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'', participants who lose in the Carnival Corpse matches have to play a game of roulette to determine which body part of theirs will be removed. After Senji is defeated by Ganta, his right eye is torn out in consequence for research (though he gets better within a couple of chapters.) |
| 90 | * In ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', Chilchuck [[spoiler: throws Senshi's mithril knife into the Red Dragon's eye. It hits dead center, complete with a nice close up of the gouging.]] |
| 91 | * In ''Manga/TheDemonOroron'', Othello decides he likes Mitsume's third eye, so he rips it out and swaps one of his own eyes with it. |
| 92 | * In ''Manga/DevilMan'' when the rave party members turn into demons after Ryo spills their blood, the first girl to transform has one of her eyeballs pop out of its socket and wiggle around like a worm. |
| 93 | * ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': |
| 94 | ** The ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' movie "[[Recap/DigimonTamersM2RunawayLocomon Runaway Locomon]]" features a battle against several big eyed digimon. What is disturbing (but not surprising) is to see the main character impale several of them through the eye, cutting them with the tip of his lance, complete with green slimy liquid coming out of it. This aired on ''Disney'' [[spoiler:which edited just the graphical cutting and impaling of the first monster; the others though...]] |
| 95 | ** In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02TheBeginning'', [[spoiler:when Lui smashes his Digivice with a baseball bat, one of the shards ends up hitting his eye, leaving it scarred. Ukkomon then gives him one of his own eyes]]. |
| 96 | * In ''Anime/DogDays'', Adelaide shoots Valerio in the eyes. PlayedForLaughs, as they heal up instantly and Valerio has a comical reaction. |
| 97 | * In ''Manga/DogsBulletsAndCarnage'', one of Heine's flashbacks shows [[spoiler:Lily reaching up to caress Giovanni's face... and then gouging both his eyes out with her thumbs]]. |
| 98 | ** Badou also had an eye cut out years before the current storyline. |
| 99 | * Iris and Anemone of ''Manga/{{Dokuhime}}'' are identical twins belonging to a group in which perfect beauty is a prized attribute. Anemone loses an eye falling from a cliff, and being no longer perfect, must be removed from the group, either voluntarily becoming an assassin or being killed. Iris, her face still perfect, is allowed to remain, but instead chooses to [[spoiler: ''poke out her own eye'' with a glowing branch from the fire, in order to remain a reflection of Anemone.]] |
| 100 | -->"I am Iris's right eye." "I am Anemone's left eye." |
| 101 | * Vegeta got an eye taken out in his battle with Goku in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. It got better. |
| 102 | ** Mercilessly parodied in the AbridgedSeries. |
| 103 | --->'''Vegeta'''(after getting hit for the third time in the right eyesocket):"The Eye! The Eye! Why is always that goddamned eye!?" |
| 104 | ** Buu punches out Dabura's eyes in response to the latter calling him [[DisproportionateRetribution "a bumbling fool"]]. |
| 105 | ** [[Characters/DragonBallBroly Broly]] gouges his father Paragus' left eye out during one of his planet-destroying rampages. It's after this incident that Paragus decides to slap a RestrainingBolt on him. |
| 106 | *** The Paragus from the "Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly" also lost his eye in the years between leaving Planet vegeta and the present day, but it is unknown how and when did that happen. |
| 107 | * According to Creator/YoshihiroTatsumi's autobiography, ''Manga/ADriftingLife'', his older brother never lost a fight with the local bullies, despite his crippling Tuberculosis, because he'd always go straight for their eyes. |
| 108 | * In ''Manga/ElfenLied'', Bando, after getting his limbs mangled by Lucy's strong-enough-to-split-a-tank-in-two psychic powers, vows revenge by saying, "The next time I see you, you're dead." Being the amoral, violent sociopath she is, Lucy '''[[ThreatBackfire quickly]]''' [[LiteralMinded sees a way around that...]] |
| 109 | ** Given the general dark, gory tone of Elfen Lied, he was practically TemptingFate. |
| 110 | ** When she was younger, Lucy killed another girl who betrayed her by slamming two of her vectors through the girls head, with only bloody eye sockets remaining where her eyes had been. |
| 111 | * Tears of blood are one of the first signs that you are a victim of [[ThePlague the virus]] in ''Manga/{{Emerging}}''. It quickly progresses into [[HighPressureBlood blood gushing]] from your eye sockets, as well as your other bodily orifices. To top it off, just before your death your eyes start ''melting.'' |
| 112 | * ''Manga/Fabricant100'': No 12 stole eyes of a man's fiancé for himself. 100 cleanly retrieves them from his eyesockets with her hand. |
| 113 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'' |
| 114 | ** Part of Erza's backstory was that her right eye was lost after being beaten by her captors on the Tower of Heaven. She was given a magic artificial replacement, which comes in handy for dealing with [[NoEyeInMagic vision-based magics]]. |
| 115 | ** Whatever happened in [[spoiler:the second]] BadFuture left Future Rogue with an ugly scar where his right eye would be. He usually keeps it covered with his bangs, though it's out in full force when he goes [[YinYangBomb White-Shadow Dragon Mode]]. |
| 116 | ** In the side story, ''Fairy Tail Zero'', [[spoiler: Precht, AKA Hades]] gets his eye shot out by a member of the dark guild Blue Skull, resulting in the eyepatch he wears in the present day. |
| 117 | * ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' has a handful, not counting the dozens of {{Mooks}} who experience this just before (or when) they die. Spade is the first named victim of this after Kenshiro deflects his own arrow back at him. |
| 118 | ** Airi (Rei's sister) blinded herself after being subject to forced prostitution. Kenshiro cures her of this, however. |
| 119 | ** Shuh [[spoiler:(almost)]] completely blinded himself in order to save a young Kenshiro's life. |
| 120 | --->"I offer you my light." |
| 121 | ** Akashachi lost an eye when he tried going to the Land Of Asuras. |
| 122 | ** Shachi rips out one of his own eyes in order to [[spoiler:protect a wounded Kenshiro]]. |
| 123 | ** Kenshiro blinds Bolge in order to try to dissuade him from trying to TakeOverTheWorld. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge It backfires spectacularly]]. |
| 124 | ** HOKUTO: ZANKAI KEN! it may not seem, depending on the angle... But, considering his thumbs pierce the flesh and might as well be BEHIND one's eyes doesn't make it any easy... |
| 125 | *** Added to the fact he presses two pressure points that actually increases the flow of blood on the had causing one to bleed to death after some time. And the location of the points? Yes, behind the eyes. |
| 126 | * ''Manga/FruitsBasket'': In Hatori's backstory, when he tried to get permission from Akito to marry Kana, Akito's violent disapproval ended with Hatori's left eye getting badly injured, ''while Kana was watching''. The event traumatized Kana to the point where Hatori decided to suppress her memories of their time together so that she wouldn't be in any more pain. |
| 127 | * In the Chapter 94 of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': |
| 128 | -->[[spoiler:'''Roy Mustang:''' ''(to Envy)'']] What does it feel like to have your eyeball fluids evaporate? |
| 129 | ** [[spoiler:(He gets better. Only for Roy to do it ''again''. And ''again.'')]] |
| 130 | ** Also, [[{{Ninja}} Lan Fan]] tried to poke Ed's eyes out with her fingers when they fought. |
| 131 | ** In Chapter 99, Wrath's Ultimate Eye is punched out [[spoiler:by Ling in reaction to Fu's death]]. Even without it, he's still a fierce fighter. |
| 132 | ** In Chapter 108, [[spoiler: as Father loses control of "God" and his human body is destroyed, one of the last images of him shows one of his eyes popping out of the socket.]] |
| 133 | ** Parodied in an omake strip, where Ling squirts lemon juice into both Wrath and Gluttony's eyes. |
| 134 | * In ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'', [[spoiler: EvilPrince Tegiru is subjected to a CruelAndUnusualDeath where he loses not ''only'' an eye, but AnArmAndALeg before being beheaded.]] |
| 135 | * In ''Manga/FutureDiary'', Yukkiteru attempts to destroy Minene's cell phone by throwing a dart, but she moves the phone away from her face, resulting in the dart meeting her eye. [[ItMakesSenseInContext As the phone is a magical object tied to her life force, if she hadn't done this and let the dart hit her phone, she would have straight up died]]. |
| 136 | ** She gets a double whammy of EyeScream, when she is drugged by [[spoiler: Twelfth]], and unable to fight back, has her bad eye plucked out of her head. By hand. |
| 137 | * ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'': |
| 138 | ** Bootsvorz loses his left eye (along with his left arm) in a serious crash during an F1 test with Osamu in their backstory. He gains a modulation eye as well as a cybernetic arm after the accident. |
| 139 | ** Also happens to Osamu when Smith attacks his car from behind with his helicopter missile which results in injuring his eye. He didn't notice the effects of it until he returns to racing -- it gets to the point where he nearly goes blind and he retires from racing ''because'' of that incident. |
| 140 | * Boville of ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' has a glass eyeball which he cleans at one point before putting it back into his empty eye socket. |
| 141 | * In ''Anime/GaReiZero'', Yomi is pierced by 108 magical spikes. Not only were they targeted at every tendon and nerve cluster in her body, but two of them end up in her right eye. After the attack, there's a lingering closeup of her face... |
| 142 | * ''Manga/{{Gamaran}}'': |
| 143 | ** Our hero does this to Junnosuke (both eyes, horizontal slash) and later Baian (one eye, vertical slash) of the Tengen Ryuu. The elite swordmaster Gensai Kizaki has a penchant for chopping the arms and eyes of those who get too close to him. |
| 144 | ** Muraku Matsumoto's first appearence in battle has him walking nonchalantely while swinging his kusarigama chain under the eyes of two ninja mooks. When said mooks try to attack him with a clever combined attack, he [[DissonantSerenity calmly blocks their attacks]] and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence brutally smack them in the eyes so hard he gouges their eyeballs out.]] |
| 145 | ** Misaku Nikaido took an interest in a young Shinnojo Sakura when the latter, despite being beaten, managed to slice his right eye. Several years later, when they settle things up, Shin finishes him off by stabbing his other eye (the tip of the sword was jutting out of his head) and slicing it off. |
| 146 | ** Later, both Iori and Shin tends to finish their opponents off by cutting their heads in half slicing the eyes as well. |
| 147 | * ''Manga/{{Gangsta}}'': Worick's father burned out his left eye with a cigarette during a drunken rage. [[AbusiveParents What a dick.]] |
| 148 | * In ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFINAL'', Gai finally defeats [[AGodAmI Palpareppa]] by [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Ripping the Loud G-Stone powering him right out of his socket]]. |
| 149 | * Happens a lot in the ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' film series. |
| 150 | ** In the fourth movie, where [[spoiler: Shiki crushes her eyes when her mind cannot handle Eyes of Death Perception. She also tries to do it again another time, but is stopped. She got better.]] |
| 151 | ** In the fifth movie "Paradox Spiral": near the beginning, when Enjou Tomoe beats off a delinquent chasing him by shoving a thumb through his eye. %%%%%% (Should either be given some context or not mentioned at all): and near the end, a scene... which probably shouldn't be described for reasons of {{Squick}}. %%%%%%% |
| 152 | ** And in the seventh movie, [[spoiler: Mikiya is attacked by Rio with a knife wound to his face, losing his left eye in the process. He got better despite losing his eye; Rio intended to kill him after all.]] |
| 153 | * In ''Literature/{{Gate}}'', the Flame Dragon's hide is nigh-invulnerable, but its eyes are not. Tuka's father takes out the left one with an arrow. Later, the JSDF targets the right one with their guns, but it manages to block the bullets with its hands. |
| 154 | * In the ''Manga/GetBackers'' manga, [[spoiler:Kazuki tears out his eye with the Stigma on it]]. You get a nice view of the optic nerve, too. |
| 155 | * New ''Manga/GetterRobo'''s SociopathicHero Jin Hayato deals with one of his dissenting henchmen by slashing his eyes out with his razor-sharp fingernails. |
| 156 | * Not too uncommon in ''Manga/GingaNagareboshiGin'', especially the manga. |
| 157 | ** Thanks to Gohei Takeda shooting a bullet into his eye, Akakabuto's nervous system gets damaged and the bear becomes incapable of hibernating in winter. This leads to him becoming insane and somehow also causes him to [[spoiler:grow to enormous size]] by the time for the final battle. Also, during said battle, [[spoiler:Akatora sacrifices himself to put out Akakabuto's ''other'' eye.]] |
| 158 | ** Speaking of [[spoiler:Akatora]], he also [[spoiler:loses his other eye during the final battle.]] In the manga, the exact reason is not shown, but in the anime, [[spoiler:Akakabuto is the one who puts it out with a swipe of his paw.]] |
| 159 | ** The mother bear Daisuke and Gin fight gets one of the boy's arrows through her eye. |
| 160 | ** A flashback shows Kurotora losing his eye thanks to a hungry weasel's bite. |
| 161 | ** Kurojaki [[spoiler:learns the hard way that running with a scythe in your mouth is not the best of ideas when, thanks to Gin, said scythe gets stuck in its owner's eye.]] |
| 162 | ** Kisaragi [[spoiler:puts out Terry's eye during their battle, blinding the dog since he was missing one eye to begin with.]] In the anime, [[spoiler:Kisaragi simply takes a swipe at Terry's face with his claws]], but in the manga, [[spoiler:you can actually ''see two of his toes go inside the eye socket.'']] |
| 163 | ** In the wolf arc of the manga, [[spoiler:Mukonga gets a bone of one his former victims stuck in his eye. He, too, only had one eye as it was and thus became blind.]] |
| 164 | * In ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', [[spoiler:Housen]] gets a cigarette holder to the eye. |
| 165 | * ''Manga/GodChild'': Volume 6 has the ''Scold's Birdle'' chapters where girls are infected with parasites that collect around the eyeballs after a month of incubation. The eyeballs burst, and the parasites die at contact to oxygen, so to prevent losing specimen Dr. Jezebel and Cassian make sure to cut the eyes out of the (usually still alive) girls. |
| 166 | * ''Manga/GokuMidnightEye'''s title character puts out his own left eye at the beginning of the story in order to escape a suicidal hypnosis by way of evil cybernetic PeacockGirl assassin. The cybernetic eye that he gets in its place gives him the power to hack anything. |
| 167 | * ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics's'' rendition of ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}'' keeps the part where the Prince loses his eyesight upon falling off a window (though this time [[AdaptationalVillainy it's the Witch]] [[DestinationDefenestration that throws him off it]]) and landing face-first [[TheHedgeOfThorns in a thorn bush]]. Even more, in this version [[GoryDiscretionShot the thorns are the last thing he sees.]] [[spoiler: And like in the original, he's healed by Rapunzel's SwissArmyTears much later.]] |
| 168 | * In the ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' manga, Brandon Heat takes a bullet point-blank in his left eye, and is killed. He gets better... ish... when he is revived as the gunslinging techno-zombie Beyond the Grave, although he still [[ScarsAreForever doesn't get his eye back]]. |
| 169 | * The eponymous girls from ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' are extremely resilient to physical attacks, to the point that they can't be shot down by just a few bullets. Their only true weak point is their eyes, and two cyborgs get killed by a shot through the eye. |
| 170 | ** A fact that the professional assassin Pinocchio also seems to understand, as demonstrated when he attempts to finish his fight with Triela by shoving a car key through her right eye. Fortunately it's not long enough to penetrate to her brain, so she's able to finish him in turn despite what a normal person would regard as a painfully debilitating injury. |
| 171 | * There is a manga adaptation of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' where Ophelia swings her locket at Hamlet, catching him in the eye and leaving it horrifically bloodshot for the rest of the story. It does make for a neat bit of symbolism. |
| 172 | * In ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', the local {{Ojou}} is possessed by an {{obake}} that takes the form of a [[EyesDoNotBelongThere monstrous eye erupting from her hand]]. She tries to remove it by using this trope and stabbing it out. Unfortunately, not only does it keep growing back, the monster takes over her body more and more, ''extending the eyes all over her''. |
| 173 | * ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': |
| 174 | ** A flashback shows a young Seras putting a fork through the eye of an assailant. [[spoiler:Zorin Blitz, who forced her to re-experience that memory presses her eyes against her scythe's blade afterward, brutally slashing both eyes. Seras gets better.]] |
| 175 | ** The scene with Jan Valentine in ''Ultimate Hellsing'' OVA 2. During his infamous "I highly recommend ''pissing'' yourselves, followed by a course of praying to your impotent ''God!''" spiel, he places his thumb atop the eye of the decapitated head he's playing with and presses down hard causing the eyeball to burst and blood to shoot out. |
| 176 | ** It actually happens at least once per OVA to the point that it's become a ''RunningGag''. Whenever Alucard shoots his opponents in the head or impales them, we're treated to a nice shot of their eyeballs flying out of the sockets. |
| 177 | ** [[spoiler:Integra]] has her eye shot out by the Major in the climax. |
| 178 | * In the first chapter of ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead'' Takashi saves his friend who was being attacked by one of them by slamming the thing on the top of the head so hard with his baseball bat that one of its eyes get knocked out of its head and falls to the ground. |
| 179 | * In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' there's a scene where Rena beats Rina to death with a lead pipe. We don't see the actual beating but after Rina dies the camera pans over her mutilated face to reveal that one of her eyeballs was smashed. Another scene had Rika spray Shion in the eyes with pepper spray. |
| 180 | ** Used in the Matsuribayashi-hen manga when a young orphan girl ([[spoiler: Miyo Takano's best friend Erika]]) gets her eye punctured by a chicken while being tortured in the OrphanageOfFear. |
| 181 | ** Also, it's revealed that the incident that caused [[spoiler: Keiichi and his family to move into Hinamizawa]] was [[spoiler: him snapping after all the [[StockShoujoBullyingTactics school bullying]] he went through, starting to shoot passer-bies with a model gun, and then shooting a little girl in the eye.]] |
| 182 | * ''Manga/HoshinEngi'': [[BigBad Empress So Dakki]] requested a painter to draw a portrait of her. She ended up disliking it so much that [[DisproportionateRetribution she gouged his eyes out as punishment.]] |
| 183 | -->So Dakki: I see that you have no use for your eyes. |
| 184 | * ''Manga/MakeTheExorcistFallInLove:'' When Father is nearly raped by Asmodeus, he punishes himself as per the Book of Matthew, Verse 28, declaring that any man who looks upon a woman who has commited adultery and feels lust in their heart is guilty of it themselves and should tear his right eye out as penance. Seeing this is when Dante realizes just how abused Father is to call himself deserving of such punishment. Four years later, Father wears a glass eye in public to avoid odd looks, though he used to wear an EyepatchOfPower as seen in glimpses of his previous battle with Mammon. |
| 185 | * The villain of ''Anime/HunterXHunterPhantomRouge'' steals human eyes for his collection of dolls. He does this through nen, so there's no blood, and only dolls or (briefly) corpses are shown with empty sockets, but the way his power creeps into a victim's eyes is clearly meant to evoke this. Plus, the idea that one [[spoiler:(later two)]] of the main characters spends the entire movie wandering around with their eyes plucked out is very unsettling. |
| 186 | * In ''Manga/IkkiTousen'', [[spoiler: Kakuton (Xiahou Dun)]] loses an eye thanks to the assassin Koushaji (Hu Che Er), when he was fighting her to protect his friend and leader Sousou (Cao Cao) and she spits a needle into his eye. [[spoiler: Sousou goes SO apeshit at this that his SuperpoweredEvilSide takes control and [[FanDisservice bloodily kills Koushaji]] by crushing her head against a wall.]] |
| 187 | * ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' has more than one invocatuion of this trope: |
| 188 | ** Kaede was subjected to this when she was a little girl, and this had already happened before her sister Kikyou's death. The anime and the manga difer on how this happened: in the first [[spoiler: the culprit is Kikyo's old rival Tsubaki]], while in the latter [[spoiler: it's implied Inuyasha's attack was responsible.]] Now that she's a CoolOldLady, she covers her empty socket with an EyepatchOfPower. |
| 189 | ** Inuyasha has a portal that leads to his father's grave in his pupil, which Sesshomaru decides to pull out in order to use it. In the anime, Sesshoumaru grabs Inuyasha in a NeckLift and forcibly pours his magic into a screaming Inu's eye to dig out the black pearl sealing it. In the manga, on the other hand, Sesshomaru does it the good old-fashioned way by ''stabbing him in the same eye'' and taking out the pearl with his fingernails (GoodThingYouCanHeal). |
| 190 | ** Fast Forward to [[spoiler:Kanna's suicide. This is a SubvertedTrope because even though a glass shard touched Kagome's eye it did little to no permanent damage to the eye and [[DeathEqualsRedemption Kanna would give Kagome advice on Naraku's weakness for ordering her death]]]]. |
| 191 | ** In the arc dealing with Tsubaki the Dark {{Miko}}, there is more than one eye-related injury. When Kagome deflects an attack from Tsubaki's snake familiar with her bow, it's absorbed into a screaming Tsubaki's left eye, and soon it's shown that Kikyou once did ''exactly'' the same to her in their fight for the right to hold the Shikon Jewel. And in the anime, not only does Tsubaki merge with a powerful unsealed demon via having it enter her body through her eye, but when Naraku gets fed up and sends one of his insects to collect Tsubaki's Shikon shards, it's done via ''having said insect pass through her head, collect the shard, and then leave through Tsubaki's eye''. OUCH. |
| 192 | * ''Manga/TheIslandOfGiantInsects'' has one hapless victim, Akira, get infected with a modified strain of ''Leucochloridium paradoxum'', a parasite that typically only infects snails and causes their eyestalks to bulge. In Akira's case, it makes his eyes ''grow into wormlike stalks''. |
| 193 | * ''Manga/IrisZero'', the main character, Toru [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer is frequently beaten up]] because he doesn't have an Iris power in a world where 99% of kids do. In Chapter 12, Houjou attempts to [[spoiler: burn out Toru's eye with a cigarette because they are apparently useless.]] Luckily, Asahi [[BigDamnHeroes is able to intervene in time.]] |
| 194 | * In the first chapter of ''Manga/{{Itsuwaribito}}'', Gramps has his eyes slashed by [[spoiler:[[TheMole Iriya]]]]. |
| 195 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 196 | ** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'', [[TheHero Jonathan]] punches Doobie, one of [[BigBad Dio]]'s zombie minions, knocking out one of his eyes. This reveals that Doobie has a number of venomous snakes inside his head. |
| 197 | ** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Wamuu]] gouges out his own eyes so that [[TheHero Joseph]] won't be able to trick him. He can regenerate them, being a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pillar Man]], [[spoiler:though he never gets a chance to do so before he dies]]. |
| 198 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': |
| 199 | *** Polnareff cuts out one of Devo's eyes in his opening attack. This turns out to be part of Devo's plan, as his [[FightingSpirit Stand]], Ebony Devil, [[CombatSadomasochist grows stronger with every injury Devo takes]]. |
| 200 | *** Judgement gets its eyes blown out when [[spoiler:Avdol wraps Magician's Red's flames around its neck and feeds them into its head]]. |
| 201 | *** Kakyoin gets his eyes slashed by [[FightingSpirit Geb]]'s razor sharp pointy finger nails, nearly going blind. [[PutOnABus He stays in the hospital recovering for most of the Egypt arc]] [[TheBusCameBack but he (and Iggy) rejoins the Crusaders in time]] to head off to [[BigBad DIO]]'s mansion. It was a bloody mess when he got cut and it left behind two long and thin twin scars over his eyes. |
| 202 | ** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', Hazamada attempts to do this to [[TheHero Josuke]] with his Stand, Surface. It doesn't work, but it ''would'' have if the wound had been just a few millimeters deeper (previously, Hazemada inflicted this to his ex-friends only because [[DisproportionateRetribution they argued with him]]). |
| 203 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'': |
| 204 | *** A gangster named "Leaky-Eye" Luca got his nickname after being stabbed in the face, which damaged his right eye to the point that it's constantly watering. Later, Bruno uses Luca's eye to question [[TheHero Giorno]] after he was offed by Bruno on orders of their boss. |
| 205 | *** After Team Bucciarati defeats Zucchero, Mista tortures him by suspending [[ItMakesSenseInContext his disembodied head]] by a fishing hook through his eyelid, and puts a pair of glasses on him such that the lens catches the sunlight and burns a hole through his forcibly-opened eye. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext All while he, Narancia, and Fugo suddenly break out into a choreographed dance number]]. |
| 206 | *** Narancia's backstory has him getting beaten up by the police, resulting in him getting an infection on his left eye, just like the eye infection that killed his mother. Luckily, Fugo finds him before it's too late and he's sent to the hospital by Bruno. |
| 207 | *** Doppio digs his finger into the eye of a cab driver who tried to rip him off, but [[spoiler: his SplitPersonality, Diavolo,]] intervenes before he takes the eye out completely. |
| 208 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': |
| 209 | *** Lang Rangler almost loses his eye when [[TheHero Jolyne]] pulls him into the vacuum created by his Stand, Jumpin' Jack Flash. |
| 210 | *** [[BigBad Enrico Pucci]] does this to ''himself'' on 2 separate occasions, both in an attempt to give himself an advantage, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard both of which end up backfiring on him]]. |
| 211 | *** Jolyne's right eye is hit by the acidic spit of the stand Yo-Yo-Ma, causing it to erupt into white liquid and leaving it out of service for the rest of the fight as well as the Green Green Grass of Home fight, until Foo Fighters heals it with her plankton... [[Main/ArtisticLicenseBiology somehow.]] |
| 212 | ** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'', Magent Magent almost loses his left eye during his fight against Johnny and Gyro. |
| 213 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJolion JoJolion]]'': |
| 214 | *** Urban Guerrilla gets stabbed in the right eyelid with a fork. |
| 215 | *** [[spoiler:Ojiro's eyes burst due to Jobin's Stand, Speed King, boiling his blood vessels]]. |
| 216 | * In ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'', this is what happened to [[spoiler: Nobara Kugisaki]] after being touched by Mahito while chasing him on the subway. Because Mahito's powers are akin to BodyHorror, [[LudicrousGibs The results weren't pretty.]] |
| 217 | * In ''Manga/{{Kaiji}}'', the titular character at one point has to bet an eye or an ear in a card game. This is accomplished by way of a small machine with a tiny drill that attaches over the organ in question -- every time he loses, the drill point will move a little bit closer... This would be bad enough, but the animation does us the questionable favor of explaining this by ''graphically animating, '''in cross-section''', how the drill would move in and destroy his eye!'' Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kaiji chooses to bet his ear instead. (Then we're treated to repeated graphic demonstrations of how it would destroy his ''ear'', just in case we weren't traumatized enough yet.) |
| 218 | * ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}'' has Midari getting into a huge debt with [[ArcVillain Kirari]], who said she could pay it with her own eye, as Kirari "always wanted to see the other side of an eyesocket". And Midari does it with an ink pen - [[AxCrazy smiling while she does so]]. |
| 219 | * In the anime series ''Anime/{{Karas}}'', the main character gets his sword broken, and small shards of it goes into his eyes. And it all happens in a zoomed-in slow-motion shot. |
| 220 | * ''Manga/{{Karneval}}'': One chapter had a Varuga that went around collecting people's eyes (i.e. ripping them out of people's heads). He tries to do the same to Nai, but the latter is saved by a sheep. |
| 221 | * In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', when Uzu Sanageyama realizes that he relied too much on his sight fighting Ryuko, he has his eyelids ''sewn shut'' to correct this "mistake". [[spoiler: He takes the stitches off almost at the end of the series.]] |
| 222 | ** Before his death, Isshin Matoi manages to take [[spoiler:Nui Harime]]'s eye out. HighPressureBlood ensues. |
| 223 | * In the AlternateUniverse manga ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: G'', [[spoiler: Kyo Kusanagi]] is subjected to this by [[spoiler: a {{More than Mind Control}}led Benimaru Nikaido, who wounds his eyes ''with his bare fingers'']] in the third volume. [[spoiler: From then on, Kyo has to keep his EyesAlwaysShut and [[HandicappedBadass fight like that until the end of the manga]].]] |
| 224 | * ''Manga/KongohBancho'': [[spoiler:Iai Bancho]] cuts his eyes so he won't have to see his [[spoiler:immodestly-dressed female]] opponents. It makes about as much sense in-context as it sounds, but [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kongou_banchou/c035/7.html judge for yourself]]. |
| 225 | * In an early chapter of ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService'', the gang runs afoul of a crooked insurance agent who kills people with [[MillionToOneChance probability]], and who suffers a KarmicDeath from getting stabbed in the eye with a screw that fell off a passing airplane. A story arc in Volume 4 involves a parasite that infects certain species of snail mutating to infect humans as well, causing the victim's eyes to swell grotesquely and bulge out of their eye sockets. A later villain in Volume 13 ends up annoying a fertility goddess, who causes a tree to grow from inside his body and branches to sprout out of his head through his eye holes. |
| 226 | * During one battle in ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'', several scenes depicting the brutality of war are shown. In one case, a man is killed by an explosion in his ship, and we are treated to a visual of his eyes boiling and subsequently bursting. Pleasant stuff. |
| 227 | ** In Episode 63, Olivier Poplin hurls a hypodermic syringe straight into the eye of a Terraist doctor while he and his companions are trapped on Earth. |
| 228 | * One of the suggested methods for dealing with an intruder in ''Manga/LycheeLightClub'' was to put out his eyes. As this was [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic highly symbolic]], it was approved. [[spoiler: Much later the reader discovers that Lychee's eyes were donated from Niko and Dafu, explaining the scar and the eyepatch respectively.]] |
| 229 | * Alluded to in ''Manga/{{Loveless}}'' when Seimei plucks out not one, but ''both'' of Ritsu's eyes. |
| 230 | ** It's made worse when we learn that he did it to write 'RITSUKA I'M BACK' on the wall...with the blood from the eyeballs. |
| 231 | * ''Anime/LupinIIIPart5'', part of an anime series that tends to run light on blood, ends up having two cases in the same episode. In "Thief and Thief", Goemon chops off two of the metal FemmeFatalons of one assassin; when she manages to disarm him and tries to finish him off, the samurai throws the nails right into her eyes, blinding her and turning the tables. Albert, an ally, is also cornered by a one-eyed assassin with a [[EpicFlail sharp weighted bob]]. During the fight, he manages to catch the bob and redirect into the assassin's remaining good eye. |
| 232 | * ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': |
| 233 | ** [[spoiler:Vice's little sister]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' gets a [[TheParalyzer magical bullet]] in the eye, though it eventually gets better. LittleMissBadass Cinque wasn't quite as lucky. There's a reason she wears an [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]], and we get to see the incident when she lost her eye via flashback. |
| 234 | ** Cinque lost her right eye during her fight against [[spoiler:the original Zest]] in the backstory of ''[=StrikerS=]'', and wears an eyepatch in the present day. Exactly why she never had the eye replaced when the original was already an ElectronicEye is never specified. |
| 235 | ** One of the girls that was bullying Rinne in ''Anime/VividStrike'' wore glasses. [[spoiler: Glasses that Rinne didn't bother to remove before smashing the girl's face against a locker during her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]] |
| 236 | ** [[spoiler:Nanoha herself ends up having her eye damaged beyond repair (along with having half of her right arm blown off) after an enemy robot [[TakingYouWithMe attempts to blow her up with their self-destruct mechanism]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation''. Fortunately, both end up getting replaced.]] |
| 237 | * In the finale of ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', Guld is forced to [[HeroicRROD turn off his Valkyrie's limiters]] in order to beat [[spoiler:the unmanned AttackDrone controlled by [[AIIsACrapshoot Sharon]]]]. The resulting g-forces are too much even for his Zentradi body, causing his eyeball to graphically split open and smear its contents over his scalp before bursting into blood. |
| 238 | * The manga ''Manga/MPDPsycho'' involves barcoded eyeballs. |
| 239 | ** And in Chapter 81 or something like that, some random dude tears out one of his eyes, and then afterwards ''sits there smoking a cigarette with blood streaming down his face''. |
| 240 | * Eye trauma is a mainstay in the manga by Creator/SuehiroMaruo: people are blinded (sometimes self inflicted, always bloodily) with anything from needles to katana; eyeballs are dug out of their sockets with spoon and fork. On a more gentle side, licking of eyeballs during sexual acts is his trademark. |
| 241 | * ''Anime/MazingerZ'': In the Mazinger vs Great General of Darkness feature, [[TheHero Kouji]] shot Mazinger's drilling missiles right in the eye of a [[{{Robeast}} Mykene Warrior Beast]]. The tiny missiles drilled through its eye and exploded inside its brain, and the monster screamed in pain as it happened. Ouch. And in another episode, Sayaka blew up with her HumongousMecha TorpedoTits the only weak points of the Mechanical Beast Gumbina M5… its eyes. Double ouch. |
| 242 | * ''Manga/MedakaBox'': Kumagawa calmly [[spoiler: blinds Zenkichi with two fingers]]. Then he heals the eyes....[[spoiler: but not the eyesight]]. |
| 243 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has a thing for blasting out the protagonists' right eyes. It happened to [[spoiler:Lockon and Allelujah]]. Extra points to the latter for removing the eye that represented that character's [[spoiler:SuperpoweredEvilSide]], [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolic]] of that side's loss. |
| 244 | ** It is later revealed [[spoiler: in Episode 7 of Season 2 that Allelujah didn't lost his right eye, he was actually hit in the forehead and the reason he covered his right eye was because of the blood flowing. [[NotQuiteDead His Alter ego is just "sleeping"]].]] |
| 245 | * Though but one of the many [[BodyHorror gruesome, horrifying things]] that the mushi from ''Manga/{{Mushishi}}'' can do to your body, but the author seems to have a special love of strange things living in, feeding off, or bursting out of peoples' eyes. (Thematically, this may be linked to the fact that mushi are InvisibleToNormals.) Just be glad that they don't exist. [[ParanoiaFuel Maybe]]. |
| 246 | ** The author admits that eye trauma freaks her out, hence the ''giant blob of stuff'' oozing out of a little girl's eyes, a blind singer's eyes [[spoiler: crawling away!]] and [[spoiler: Ginko's eye being eaten by a powerful mushi which will eventually claim the rest of him]]. |
| 247 | * ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' In the arc Hunting of Baskervilles, a child is forced to gouge out one of his own eyes with a spoon. |
| 248 | * ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' manages to have an example that's PlayedForLaughs, thanks to AmusingInjuries: one chapter has resident perv Mineta trying to peek into the girls' locker room thanks to a hole in the wall. He gets stabbed ''right'' in the eye by Kyoka's earphone jacks for his trouble. |
| 249 | ** A not-at-all comical example happens in Shoto Todoroki's backstory: his mother snapped from the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of his father, Endeavor, and she splashed a pot of steaming hot water over Shoto's face, resulting in a [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zuko-esque]] scar over his left eye. |
| 250 | ** The villain Muscular [[spoiler: killed the Water Hose pro-hero team during one of his past rampages, but [[DoNotGoDownGentle they didn't go down gently --]] they managed to take out Muscular's left eye, which he replaced with a cybernetic.]] |
| 251 | ** When the unnamed [[AbsurdlySharpBlade blade villain]] [[spoiler: takes a Quirk-enhancing drug to try and beat [[SuperToughness Kirishima]], the blades not only grow longer, but jut out from ''everywhere'' on his body, including his left eye. For him, it's harmless, but still, ''yeesh.'']] |
| 252 | ** In Chapter 188, [[spoiler: Endeavor gets a severe eye injury in a fight against High-End. [[LaserGuidedKarma He's later shown with a scar over his left eye similar to his son's.]]]] |
| 253 | ** And then there’s Aizawa, who got his eye gouged out by Shigaraki to stop his Erasure quirk. It left him somewhat quirk-impaired since his quirk is vision based and extremely shaky afterward. He can still use it, but not nearly as well as before. |
| 254 | * When confronted by Mai, Natsuki and Midori in a late ''Anime/MyHime'' episode [[spoiler: after Yukariko's WoundedGazelleGambit]], local DarkMagicalGirl Nao Yuuki catches a stinger right into her left eye from her own CHILD, Julia. After pulling out the stinger, she notices her hand covered in blood, and gets ''extremely'' [[FreakOut pissed off]]. |
| 255 | * In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' Kishimoto is a BIG fan of the trope, as well as eye transplants. To start, we have the part where [[spoiler: Itachi uses the Tsukoyomi to simulate popping Sasuke's eye out of its socket. He freaking PLUCKED IT OUT]]. |
| 256 | ** In the anime, it's not pretty either. You see [[spoiler: Sasuke's eye slowly bulge out of its socket as Itachi removes it.]] Thank GOD for the GoryDiscretionShot. That said, we get the same thing with Izuna and Madara, only Sasuke gets splattered with Izuna's blood. Nice. |
| 257 | ** [[spoiler:[[BigBad Madara Uchiha]]]] actually '''stabs out''' [[spoiler: his own brother]]'s eyes in order to [[spoiler: transplant them into his own eye sockets to counteract the effects of his DeadlyUpgrade. That said, despite the horrifying visual shown in the anime, this is actually an InUniverse HistoricalVillainUpgrade (though Madara is still one of the most villainous characters regardless). He [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes loved his brother above all else]] and the eyes were willingly given to him on his brother's deathbed. ]] |
| 258 | ** In Chapter 551, this is how [[spoiler: Itachi nullifies the Rinnegan's "shared vision" ability: By throwing kunai into the eyes of Nagato's summoned creatures.]] |
| 259 | ** ''Kakashi Gaiden'': [[spoiler:Kakashi got his one Sharingan eye when his old, regular eye was damaged in a fight, and Obito, after getting mortally wounded and recently unlocking his Sharingan, has Rin surgically replace Kakashi's with one of his while they're both conscious.]] |
| 260 | ** Pain tried to kill [[spoiler:Kakashi]] by shooting a nail into his eye. [[spoiler:It didn't work]]. |
| 261 | ** Also, in a final act of defiance against Madara, [[spoiler:Danzou]] destroyed [[spoiler:Shisui's Sharingan eye]] which he had implanted to prevent Madara from using it. This was thankfully offscreen. |
| 262 | ** In Chapter 590, in Itachi's memory after Shisui says Danzou stole his right eye, he literally takes out his other eye and gives it to Itachi to prevent Danzou from having it. |
| 263 | ** [[spoiler:Madara casually rips Kakashi's eye out ''while flying past him'' and puts it in himself, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology without damaging the eye or either of their sockets, and without having to reconnect the optic nerve]], then uses Kamui to go to Obito's dimension in an attempt to get his Rinnegan back]]. |
| 264 | ** The last but not least example: in ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', [[spoiler: BigBad Toneri Ōtsutsuki (who already is eye-less) rips out the eyes of Hinata's little sister Hanabi, so he can use them to activate the Tenseigan after marrying Hinata. Fortunately, [[BigSisterInstinct Hinata]] rips the stolen eyes off ''him'' and gives them back to her sister]]. |
| 265 | ** ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'': |
| 266 | *** Starting with the ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'', there is an unusual example [[spoiler:due to the BigBad, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, having a Rinnegan in each hand in addition to the two Byakugan and forehead Rinnegan on his face, and only the eye in his right hand is stabbed because the heroes needed to get past its ninjutsu absorbing abilities]]. |
| 267 | *** Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki himself gets to inflict this trope on [[spoiler:Sasuke Uchiha, when he sneaks on him after the fight against Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, and stabs his Rinnegan with a kunai]]. Said damage also sticks. |
| 268 | *** In the opening scene of the series, Boruto himself appears with a scar over his right eye, it is then revealed that [[spoiler:he gained it when shielding Sarada from Kawaki]]. The damage also affected his forehead protector ([[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece which was Sasuke's]]), that now sports a vertical cut that intersects with the original scratch over the Leaf Village symbol. |
| 269 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' loves this on the titular {{Cyborg}}s. |
| 270 | ** Right in episode 2, Unit 01 gets stabbed repeatedly in the right eye by Sachiel's palm laser at point blank range until the final stab goes clean through the Eva's eyesocket and skull, leaving the Eva [[HighPressureBlood bleeding profusely]] out of both holes. We later also get a shot of Unit 01's helmetless face with the black, possibly cauterized, eyesocket front and center... until [[BodyHorror the flesh bubbles and a new eye suddenly pops out of the hole as if nothing happened, scaring Shinji shitless in the process]]. |
| 271 | ** This (and by extension, all of the other examples below) is made worse by the fact that, while no actual damage actually happens to his own eye, Shinji himself ''feels'' every second of it as if it was happening to him, and it's disturbingly obvious that [[NightmareFuel he is in complete and utter agony the entire time it's happening]]. |
| 272 | ** Unit 03's destruction in episode 18 has a point where Unit 01 literally puts a fist through the possessed Eva's skull, with a clearly visible split-second shot of Unit 03's eye among the LudicrousGibs. |
| 273 | ** In ''End of Evangelion'', during Asuka's "I don't want to die" MadnessMantra bit, the viewer is treated with several flashing images including a picture of a decaying Asuka with a sewn-up mouth and maggots crawling out of her hollow eyesockets. Long story short, Evangelion has a thing for horrifying people. |
| 274 | *** [[spoiler:Unit 02 takes a Lance of Longinus replica to the face, causing Asuka to have her left eye put out.]] When we later see what's left of the Eva, one of its eyeballs are ''literally dangling by the optic nerve''. |
| 275 | *** [[spoiler:At one point, Unit 01 transforms into the Tree of Life, which proceeds to enter Lilith/Rei through a vagina/eye/... ''[[BodyHorror something]]'' in her forehead. Said Eva later comes back out through one of her ''actual'' eyes.]] |
| 276 | ** ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' gets in on the act as well. |
| 277 | *** During the second movie's climactic fight, Zeruel launches one of his CombatTentacles at a barely-standing Unit 02 and the camera zooms in on a startled Mari's right eye before the attack hits with enough power to send the Eva flying back (and Maya looking away in horror). When Unit 02 subsequently faceplants into the shelter Shinji is hiding in, it's visibly missing its upper right eye (along with a chunk of its skull). The third movie implies that the eye loss was permanent, with Unit 02 sporting a cybernetic on the right side of its head for the rest of the series. |
| 278 | *** During the first appearance of the Mark.09 in the third movie, [[spoiler:Unit 08 scores repeated pistol [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] on the other Eva to the point where we briefly see the Mark.09's CyberCyclops eye ''dangling out of its socket by the optic nerve'' before the next hit decapitates it completely.]] The Mark.09 later returns the favor [[spoiler:against Unit 02 by way of biting down on the unpowered Eva's skull, its lower teeth visibly going through Unit 02's cybernetic replacement eye]]. |
| 279 | *** Subverted with Asuka. After she's put out of action by Bardiel in the second movie, she returns in the third wearing an eyepatch that visibly glows blue whenever she's dangerously deeply synced with her Eva. The fourth movie reveals that underneath said eyepatch [[spoiler:is a rod-shaped device capable of phasing through solid matter that serves as the RestrainingBolt keeping her Angelic contamination in check. Asuka pulling it out of her skull through the eye in the climax is treated as a GodzillaThreshold.]] |
| 280 | * In ''Manga/NijigaharaHolograph'', the teacher Sakaki was hit in the face with a piece of cinderblock by a man who was trying to rape one of her students. The injury apparently put out her left eye, as she wears bandages or an eyepatch over that eye for most of her time on-page, and after she gets plastic surgery later on, she gets a fake eye which is shown to not move with her good eye. |
| 281 | * ''Anime/NinjaScroll'': This is the result when Jubei determines that [[MadeOfIron Tessai]] is not quite “hard as rock all over.” |
| 282 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 283 | ** As the Red Hairs are attacked by a flock of bandits, Shanks's first mate Benn Beckman calmly [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome puts a cigarette out in the eye of a charging pirate,]] before proceeding to clobber the rest of them on his own. |
| 284 | ** Done in a much more horrific way in a flashback during the Totland arc: [[spoiler:Pedro]] is sentenced by Big Mom to pay a fine of 60 years of his own lifespan for raiding Big Mom's castle and cutting out Baron Tamago's eye. In response, [[spoiler:Pedro]] ''gouges out his own eye'' and offers it as "reparations" for Tamago's eye. This actually impresses Big Mom, who accepts it and reducs the fine to "just" 50 years. |
| 285 | ** Backstory-wise, Admiral Fujitora's blindness was apparently self-inflicted (he had seen so many horrible things in the world he didn't want any more of it), and judging by the scars he either sliced his eyes off or actively clawed them out. |
| 286 | ** In another backstory example, [[spoiler: a man part of an angry mob that strung up Donquixote Homing's family is seen wearing sunglasses, with visible scars behind them. He claims he was a slave of the [[AristocratsEreEvil Celestial Dragons]] (who Homing defected from) and they plucked his eyes out [[ForTheEvulz purely for the hell of it.]]]] |
| 287 | * Saitama of ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' defeated his first monster, a mutant crab man, by tying his necktie around the monster's eyestalk and pulling it out. Pretty gruesome already in the manga -- in the anime, it ends up even worse, as Saitama ''pulls all of the monster's guts out via his eye socket'', resulting in a [[LudicrousGibs disgusting rain of entrails and bodily fluids that lasts a full ten seconds]]. |
| 288 | * Xerxes Break in ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has one eye. The other one was ripped out by the Will of The Abyss and put in someone else's head. In addition to witnessing this event with no detail spared, he is sometimes seen scratching at his empty eye socket in moments of extreme mental or physical stress, to the point of drawing lots of blood. |
| 289 | ** Vincent has a scissors and eyeballs motif going there too. Usually Vincent's just stabbing stuffed animals' eyes out (along with necks, stomachs, etc.). There was that one time, however, that he decided to screw with Alice and ''jab his scissors into her pet cat's eyes''. This eventually leads to the first example; [[{{Squick}} Break's eye was meant for her cat]]. |
| 290 | * ''Anime/PerfectBlue'': The corpses of each murder victim are shown to have their eyes gouged out. One man is killed from being stabbed in the eye and ''his crotch'' followed by repeated stabbing all over his body. |
| 291 | * ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'': |
| 292 | ** What prompted [[spoiler:Tachibana's]] jump from KnightTemplar to TheAtoner was [[spoiler:him hitting his best friend Chitose in the eye and almost making him completely lose sight in it.]] |
| 293 | ** Early in the series, Ryoma is subjected to this by getting hit in the eye with the handle of his own broken racket |
| 294 | ** Later, [[spoiler: Fuji gets hit in the head and end up playing almost ''blind'' against Kirihara]]. |
| 295 | ** In ''Shin Tenipuri'', [[spoiler: Tohno, in accidentally-on-purpose fashion, throws his racquet at Marui, hitting him in the right eye.]] |
| 296 | * In ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', when Ashitaka's village is threatened by a boar-demon covered in big wriggly tentacles, he at first tries to reason with it. When said demon [[BigBrotherInstinct starts charging toward his little sister]], he puts an arrow directly into the monster's eye, shown in close-up. The inhuman scream it lets out when the arrow makes contact accurately sums up the feelings of the audience. |
| 297 | * In ''Manga/ProjectARMS'', Kei's ARMS are for her eyes. This means that when she was a child, she went through a horrible accident that involved having her eyes put out, made slightly less traumatic probably because the ARMS completely mimicked her old set of eyes (in the manga her eyes were stabbed out by a psychotic murderer and in the anime they were burned out while she and some kids tried to escape a burning building). |
| 298 | * In Chapter 96 of ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'', it's revealed why Grana has the EyepatchOfPower. [[spoiler: Miroku gouged it out in their fight as his finishing move]]. |
| 299 | * Rokudo Mukuro from ''Manga/Reborn2004'' jams his finger into his right eye to activate the Fifth Path, the State of Humans. Apparently, he recovers. |
| 300 | ** Also, during their fight together, after Mukuro pretends that what was lunging at Tsuna was just an illusion, he quickly reveals that it was actually a stone after smashing it into Tsuna's eye area in order to catch him off guard and attempt to possess his body. |
| 301 | * In ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'', [[spoiler: [[BigBrotherMentor Cu]][[TheBigGuy rio]] fell victim to this while defending a pre-teen "Odin" (Juliet [[{{Bifauxnen}} in disguise]]) from an abusive guard and completely lost use of his left eye. [[ItsAllMyFault The guilt]] [[FailureKnight Juliet]] felt upon the incident motivates her to become [[VigilanteMan The Red Whirlwind]].]] |
| 302 | * In ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'', [[spoiler: André Grandier]] loses an eye ''very'' messily ([[spoiler: via having said ''slashed with a sword's pointy tip'']]) midway the story while protecting Oscar. [[ActionGirl She]] [[ItsPersonal does]] ''[[UnstoppableRage not]]'' [[{{Revenge}} take that]] kindly and almost ''kills'' the culprit, a local WellIntentionedExtremist, but backs off at the last moment [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim to not fall as low as the guy]]. [[spoiler: He gets CharacterDevelopment, becomes an IntrepidReporter and marries Rosalie, Oscar's protégée.]] |
| 303 | * Downplayed in ''Manga/TheRowsOfCherryTrees'': when [[spoiler: Yukiko walks up to Chikage to challenge her towards the end]], one of the nearby players gets distracted and then gets hit in the eye with a pingpong ball, but she shrugs it off like nothing. |
| 304 | * ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': |
| 305 | ** Usui of the Jupon Gatana was blinded in his back-story when Shishio slashed him across the eyes during a fight; this, in turn, led to Usui developing his [[DisabilitySuperpower extremely refined sense of hearing]] and becoming a HandicappedBadass. |
| 306 | ** In a filler arc, Shura the pirate punched her first mate in the eye when he tried to seduce her and wouldn't take no for an answer; the first mate subsequently wore an eye-patch and led most of the crew to revolt against Shura. |
| 307 | ** In ''Shin Kyoto Hen'', [[spoiler:Chou loses an eye when Kenshin stabs him there with his sword-scabbard]]. |
| 308 | * ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': |
| 309 | ** Something similar to the ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' example below happens [[spoiler: when Cygnus Hyoga allows/begs Kraken Isaac to hit his eye... since Isaac lost an eye ''because'' of him, after getting impaled through it [[KillItWithIce with a stalactite]] while saving Hyoga's life]]. |
| 310 | ** One of [[spoiler: Dragon Shiryu]]'s most famous actions is him [[spoiler: plucking his own eyes out to defeat an enemy who has a shield that [[TakenForGranite turns the target into stone with a single glance]], [[MortonsFork after neither closed eyes nor blindfolds work as counter-measures.]] In the TV series he gets better, though in the {{filler}} Asgard saga he temporarily loses his sight again after getting his eyes slashed in his fight with Fenrir; in the manga and the ''Hades Saga'' series he doesn't, and stays blind for the rest of his life.]] |
| 311 | ** During the anime's rendition of the Galactic Tournament, right before his death Black Cygnus took off the swan ornament from his helmet and crushed it to send information to his boss (a still not {{Heel Face Turn}}ed Ikki). In the manga, he plucked one of his eyes instead. |
| 312 | ** In the AlternateUniverse sequel ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'', [[BloodKnight Taurus Harbringir]]'s DarkAndTroubledPast includes him awakening his cosmos as a StreetUrchin from New York... ''as a gangster plucks out one of his eyes''. |
| 313 | * Cho Hakkai from ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' plucked out his own eye (almost both of them) and offered it to the relative of a youkai whose eyes he had gouged out during the mass murder he committed. |
| 314 | ** We're not sure about the extent of the damage yet, but in the last chapter of ''Saiyuki Reload'', [[spoiler:Ukoku apparently had his eyes shot out]]. |
| 315 | * In Chapter 6 of ''Manga/SakuraGari'', after Dr. Katsuragi [[spoiler: rapes and tortures Masataka]], [[FinGore he sticks Masataka's hand into a pot of boiling tea]], yelling at him to "get away from Souma!" [[TheDogBitesBack In retaliation, Masataka throws the pot into Katsuragi's eyes]]; as the other covers his burned face, Masataka manages to escape to the Saiki household. The next time we se Katsuragi, [[TwoFaced half his face is covered in bandages]], including his left eye. |
| 316 | * In the climax of the ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' anime (first season), [[BigBad Nobunaga]] performs a NeckLift on [[HandicappedBadass Masamune]] using only his palm under Masamune's neck and threatens to jam his thumb into Masamune's remaining eye. Honda Tadakatsu interferes before he can go through with it, however. |
| 317 | * In ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'', Merascylla's special ability, Faith, makes it so anymore who demonstrates faithlessness (toward anything like their god, lover, ideals, etc) in either her presence or the presence of her summoned zombies immediately gets their eyes boiled out of their head. |
| 318 | * ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Kululu gets drills for eyes in the infamous drill episode. |
| 319 | * Violent fight comic ''Manga/{{Shamo}}'' is chock full of cringe-inducing, vision-averting EyeScream moments, including how [[VillainProtagonist Ryo Narushima]] won a qualifying match, as well as how a later seen character made him''self'' blind. The worst part? No weapons assisted in these blinding moments, just fingers and toes involved. |
| 320 | * In the ''Manga/{{Shigurui}}'' manga, Irako Seigen gets slashed across the eyes (no spoiler because that's how he was shown in the first chapter). At first you just see a line across the bridge of his nose; then it starts to bleed, with clear fluid coming out of the cuts in his eyes. Then it gets really freaky. |
| 321 | * In ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'', as a child, Kaede is seen standing at the top of a flight of stairs and coldly orders Rin to pick up some writing utensils she had dropped at the bottom. Rin busies himself with the task so he doesn't notice when Kaede secretly takes out a boxcutter, stretches her arm out and (somehow) drops it directly above Rin. Rin looks up at the moment when the knife comes careening down and it slices his right eye. He gets better. |
| 322 | * ''Manga/SlamDunk'': |
| 323 | ** Subverted. Sakuragi elbows Hanagata in the side of his head and breaks his glasses, but doesn't damage his eyes. As much, Hanagata gets a cut on his forehead. |
| 324 | ** Played straighter later, when [[spoiler: Minami]] hits [[spoiler: Rukawa]] in the head and causes him to play half-blind. |
| 325 | * In ''Manga/SoutenKouro'' We have this nice scene of Xiahou Dun losing his eye. He pulled the arrow along with his eyeball and then ATE HIS OWN EYE! Two for the price of one! |
| 326 | ** Made scarier by the fact that Xiahou Dun allegedly did that ''when he lost his eye in RealLife''. Hope it's just a legend. |
| 327 | * Saiga Tatsumi of ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'' has a love for photography which develops into a sexual fetishism. While investigating a secret club where rich and influent people meet to fulfill their most perverted desires, he received a kiss from Kagura and developed the ability to explode whoever and whatever he photographs -- Death by Photo. When using his powers his camera gains a black aura, while his right eye (it can be either, but he aims with his right) turns blood shot and the iris bright green while large veins protrude around it. Also, during his final battle with Suitengu, [[spoiler:he is ultimately unable to defeat Suitengu before going blind from overusing his power.]] |
| 328 | * ''Anime/SwordArtOnline'' - the ''Alicization'' arc features the Seal of the Right Eye, a code implanted on [[ArtificialIntelligence the people of Underworld]] that causes intense pain in their right eye whenever they try to violate higher orders. Enough HeroicWillpower will break the Seal, causing the afflicted eye to ''explode'' in a shower of blood. Fortunately, Underworld has magic that can fix that, and the Seal doesn't come back when the eye is restored. |
| 329 | * In ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'', Ichise gets poked in the eye in the first episode by a women who hired him for sexual services, causing him to defend himself using his fists.[[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, that woman belongs to a major criminal organisation, which retaliates by cutting off two of his limbs.]] |
| 330 | ** Shape-ified [[spoiler: Hal]] also suffers one of these when he [[spoiler: betrays Shinji]]. You don't see the actual injury, but you hear it. |
| 331 | * In ''Manga/ThouShaltNotDie'', scream might be the wrong word. The lead character [[AxCrazy Kuroi]] ends up in a fight with one of his supposed allies [[{{Sadist}} Yanagi]]. In the fight, Yanagi manages to skewer Kuroi's eye and tears it out of his eye socket. Kuroi's reaction to this is however not what one would expect. Instead of screaming or similar, he goes on to produce a face of pure extacy and proclaiming it all to be awesome since loosing the eye silenced [[HearingVoices all the voices he constantly hears]]. |
| 332 | * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': |
| 333 | ** Yamori stabbing Kaneki in the eye with a needle to make him more vulnerable to torture. |
| 334 | ** Suzuya stabbing Kurona in the eye with his knife. Luckily, her HealingFactor kicks in. |
| 335 | ** In the sequel Suzuya stabs Uta in the face and eyes multiple times with his knives. |
| 336 | ** Furuta using his comrade as a meat shield and jabbing Matsumae's eyes out with his fingers. |
| 337 | ** [[spoiler:Kaneki gets first his left eye, and then his right, taken out by Investigator Kishou Arima. Kaneki promptly has a [[FreakOut meltdown]] after the first blow and it only gets worse as the fight progressed. And why is it especially vicious? Because Arima doesn't just stab out Kaneki's left eye; he stabs Kaneki ''from behind, through his brain''.]] |
| 338 | ** In the sequel, Kaneki stabbing Kanae in the eye with a pipe. |
| 339 | ** Also from the sequel, Eto sewing Kanae's eyes open. |
| 340 | ** After Takizawa gets through with Sasaki, his upper face is a bloody mess. It's probably better that there's so much blood that it isn't clear what exactly was done to him. |
| 341 | ** After being captured and imprisoned in Cochlea, the amnesiac Ghoul #240 is seen wearing bandages over his eyes. This is because he repeatedly clawed his own eyes out, to the extent the wounds kept getting infected. |
| 342 | ** Furuta attempts to gouge out Sasaki's/Kaneki's eyes with his thumbs in Chapter 70. |
| 343 | ** In Chapter 74 of re [[spoiler: Arima thrusts IXA at Kaneki's eyes, and asks if this is what he wants.]] |
| 344 | * In ''Manga/TokyoTribe 2'', this happens to Renkon Chef in Episode 6 when [[spoiler: Jadakings '''bites his eye off and spits it out.''']] |
| 345 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''Anime/UmaMusume'', in which Gold Ship is [[RunningGag constantly]] trying to mess with Mejiro [=McQueen=] in some fashion, only for it to usually backfire spectacularly and result in her suffering this in one form or another. |
| 346 | * In Episode 17 of the ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' anime Jessica blames her aunt Eva for the death of Krauss and Natsuhi, her parents. Eva gets defensive and accuses Jessica and Battler of killing her son George. Jessica gets pissed off at Eva's accusation and yells "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" at her. Eva gets scared and fires a shot from her rifle and the fire from the discharge injures Jessica's eyes. |
| 347 | ** In the 4rth arc, Eva [[spoiler: (or better said, Eva-Beatrice in her form)]] has a shot gun and threatens [[spoiler: Ange]] with it. Then said gun ''blows up'' and ''destroys'' Eva's upper face, and she screams and rolls on the floor in utter pain as she covers her destroyed eyes and bleeds all over. [[spoiler: Ange]] has to MercyKill her. |
| 348 | ** According to ''Requiem of the Golden Witch'', [[spoiler: Eva kills Natsuhi during a huge fight by accidentally shooting her in the eye.]] |
| 349 | * In the first volume of the yaoi manga ''Manga/UnderGrandHotel'' Sen defends himself against a rapist by poking the guy's eye out with a cross necklace he won in a checker game from Swordfish. |
| 350 | * In ''Manga/UntilDeathDoUsPart'', Mamoru Hijikata was blinded when [[spoiler:the person next to him was shot and ''exploded''.]] He gets [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual sunglasses]] that allow him to more-or-less see, though. |
| 351 | * Madarame Baku from ''Manga/{{Usogui}}'' has his eye severely injured by Suteguma, who rams it into a piece of loose rebar to prevent Baku from using the eye-scanning software that would win him their AbsurdlyHighStakesGame. He's forced to wear a [[EyepatchOfPower snazzy eyepatch]] for a large portion of the story afterwards. |
| 352 | * ''Manga/VinlandSaga'': As part of the [[http://mangafox.me/manga/vinland_saga/v12/c092/3.html carnage]] in Chapter 92, a guy is shown with his eyes cut out; later on, another character gets [[http://mangafox.me/manga/vinland_saga/v12/c092/25.html stabbed]] in the eye, complete with fluid gushing out and his opponent ''digging his knuckle into the socket''. |
| 353 | * In the first episode of ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' Van shoots a dragon in the eye with a crossbow. |
| 354 | * ''Manga/TheVoynichHotel'': |
| 355 | ** One of the hotel's maids, Elena [[spoiler:(AKA Lachrymarum, the Mother of Tears)]], is missing her right eye. It got [[spoiler:shot out by an arrow by Spanish colonisers.]] |
| 356 | ** Later, [[spoiler: Elena's LoveInterest [[{{Yakuza}} Taizou]] got subjected to ColdBloodedTorture that included, [[TheToothHurts among]] [[FinGore other]] [[EarAche things]], tearing off one of his eyes. When [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Elena]] found out, [[GoryDiscretionShot she was most... upset]] [[LudicrousGibs towards his attackers]]; when done with them she did her best to reattach Taizou's lost body parts, but couldn't implant his eye back so he uses an eyepatch afterwards.]] This scene also included a subversion: [[spoiler: Elena's eye is seen cracking, but it's the glass eye that Taizou gave her as a gift, ''and'' it cracked because a Yakuza hit her upside the head with a katana's hilt rather than in the eye itself.]] |
| 357 | ** At the end of the series, [[spoiler: Mamiya's younger sister is seen using her knives to stab a yakuza through his eyes.]] |
| 358 | * [[spoiler: Haguro]] punches [[spoiler: his girlfriend Ryuuko]] in the left eye in ''Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' during a verbal spat concerning (who else?) Inugami. [[spoiler: She's later seen using an EyepatchOfPower.]] |
| 359 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has a somewhat famous example in Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford, in Japan). Throughout most of the Duelist Kingdom arc, Pegasus possesses the Millennium Eye, which takes the place of his own left eye. He wasn't born with it... the 4Kids dub removes the blood, but keeps a silhouetted introduction process, right along with Pegasus's agonized screams. At the end of Duelist Kingdom, Bakura rips the Millenium Eye out of Pegasus's head. In the manga, he gives him one of Pegasus's own replica Millennium eyes; not that it does him much good, [[spoiler:Bakura having killed Pegasus in the process and all]]. TheMovie later had Pegasus show Kaiba what can only be assumed to be an empty socket or the dummy eye, and we get to see Kaiba squirm in response. |
| 360 | ** In the Waking the Dragons arc, Dartz hurled a sword into the dragon Timaeus' right eye. The eye remains blind even when the dragon takes human form. |
| 361 | ** And in ''Manga/YuGiOhR'', Pegasus' protege Yako gets his own version. There's no apparent physical trauma, but immediately after [[StartOfDarkness Yako finds evidence of what happened to Pegasus]], his iris seemingly melts and runs down his face. Every other time we see Yako, both of his eyes are intact, though he does have a serious case of MadEye going throughout the series. |
| 362 | ** In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', there are two examples. Jim Cook has one of his eyes replaced by the Orichalcum Eye [[spoiler: (though it's done in a discretion shot, it is implied he smashed his original eye out falling into a river.]] The second one involves Yubel. [[spoiler: When Juudai's memories of their past return, his present self hovers over Yubel as she's being worked on by whoever is managing the transformation. It's made fairly clear they're removing or changing her eyes to be the magical ones they are in the present. The viewer isn't actually shown what happens, but Juudai winces at whatever it is he sees.]] |
| 363 | * ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'': |
| 364 | ** Played with in Hiei's case. His Jagan Eye transplant, which is a ThirdEye in the middle of his forehead, is described as being the most intense, excruciating pain he's ever felt in his entire life. It seems the process involves a drill like machine ''burrowing'' into the patient's forehead, then implanting the Jagan, which then proceeds to absorb an assload of the patient's energy. |
| 365 | *** Made even worse in the anime when the doctor, a CombatMedic demon named Shigure, claims that the patient has to be strapped to the bed to prevent them from clawing their own eyes out due to the pain. [[ScreamDiscretionShot The scene cuts to outside Shigure's compound, and the viewers hear a bloodcurdling scream from Hiei.]] |
| 366 | ** [[CodeName Doctor]] gets a jar of acid thrown in his eye in the Chapter Black saga |
| 367 | ** Played straight with King Yomi, who during a battle in his past had both of his eyes slashed by swords at close range [[spoiler: at the orders of his then-partner Kurama, who was pissed off at him for being a LeeroyJenkins]]. Ouch! Luckily, he managed to wound his assailant with an accidental stab, thus saving himself from death; he later grows into a massive HandicappedBadass, with a super developed [[DisabilitySuperpower sense of hearing]]. |
