Gendo Ikari demonstrates the power of the glasses.
Why is Yamazaki winning?
Maybe because he can do the Gendo glasses thing even without a light source?

These are definitely not Nerd Glasses, although they are sometimes mistaken for them at first. This is a variant of The Faceless.

In anime, one's eyes are an indicator of the soul. Large eyes represent honesty and innocence, while smaller eyes indicate worldliness. Strong-willed girls will have Tsurime. Moe characters have Tareme. A trickster will have closed eyes. (Which doesn't necessarily mean they're evil, just that they're sneaky. Of course, many sneaky people are evil...)

If you can't even see their eyes because of the Scary Shiny Glasses, beware - for these are individuals who deliberately wall themselves off from the people around them.

The Scary Shiny Glasses can be turned on or off at will by the wearer; they can especially crank it up for intimidation. When they are in effect, the glasses reflect light such that all you can see are two white circles, nothing is visible of the eyes. Often for extra effect, their bodies will just be a black outline, so the glasses are the only visible detail - this effect is at times accompanied by a Noblewomans Laugh, regardless of their wearer's actual gender. Failing that, they may actually have an Audible Gleam.

It's often revealed that the person doesn't have any eye problems at all, the glasses are just non-prescription lenses. Someone opening up to others or dying can result in the glasses symbolically breaking or being given up. The Glasses Gotta Go!

People with Scary Shiny Glasses never have The Glasses Come Off for just fights. However, recently, a hidden villain may reveal themselves to be a true villain by abandoning their glasses. A single flash of the glasses can represent a sudden increase of intention, but to really be the Scary Shiny Glasses it needs to be an even, creepy glow. A variation of Scary Shiny Glasses is to have the glow complete on one lens, but just a flash or not there at all on the other, allowing the audience to see just how sinister the character is behind those glasses.

The shades worn by MIB are a lesser variant; see Sinister Shades. Kichiku Megane also love this trope.

If you are a total badass, or want others to think you are such, during a break in fighting adjust your glasses by pushing them farther back on your nose. There is a 99% certainty this will cause the Scary Shiny Glasses phenomenon, virtually guaranteeing your victory. Compare Malevolent Masked Men.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: All of the scientists during King Bradley's flashbacks, who have been responsible for training him and other potential subjects to become ideal leaders of Amestris since their births. The light reflected from the scientists' glasses cover their eyes, most notably the lead, gold-toothed scientist. A powerful effect meant to symbolize their descent into depravity and evil, the light in their glasses symolically shuts them off from humanity. http://www.drivers-applications.com/2009/09/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood-26-sub.html
