15	** But Bob is preparing to attack.
16	* '''Zig Zagged''': Each time Bob charges his ultimate technique, either his eyes glow, they don't glow, only one eye glows, or they flash off and on rapidly like strobe lights.
17	* '''Parodied''':
18	** Bob's eyes glow as bright as the sun, so he is hired by a power company to charge their solar panels.
19	** Bob is a monster with an EyelessFace, so instead his nostrils glow when he unleashes his strongest technique.
20	* '''Averted''': Nobody's eyes glow when things get serious.
21	* '''Enforced''': The writers want to tangibly show Bob's power before he actually unleashes it without resorting to {{Informed Abilit\|y}}ies.

28	* '''Defied''':
29	** Bob trains his eyes not to glow when powering up so that he doesn't give himself away.
30	** Bob always wears dark sunglasses, so we can't see whether or not his eyes glow.
31	* '''Discussed''': "So tell me about these secret ninja techniques. Do your eyes glow when you use them or anything like that?"
32	* '''Conversed''': "See, his eyes always start to glow around the climax of each episode. And the bad guys never take the hint and run like hell like they should."
33	* '''Deconstructed''': The glowing eyes may be effective, but the glow causes Bob to go blind.
34	* '''Reconstructed''': But Bob then becomes a BlindSeer whose vision is not obstructed by his glowing eyes.
35	* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob and his nemesis have a climactic final battle that consists entirely of a contest to see whose eyes can glow brighter.
36	* '''Played For Drama''': Bob is trying to sneak into the BigBad's lair, but his glowing eyes could give him away, so he must carefully modulate his emotions so as to not make his eyes glow unintentionally.
