** She has also used it once in the manga after her introduction. But here there is a explanation for this as she wants to catch Tsukunes heart with fair play and not with her powers, not only for her love for him but also her love for the rest of the girls in the harem. This turns into a tear jerker when she [[spoiler: accidently charms Tsukune and spends the rest of the day with him in her room, ending with her trying to make him saying that he likes her until it's instead her who breaks down to tears and says that she likes him]]

* The Sharingan from ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' has hypnotic powers, ranging from subtly throwing off their perception of reality to outright mind control. A common piece of advice when fighting Uchiha is to read their actions by watching their feet and hands, as even casual eye contact can be fatal. When first introduced with Kakashi, the Sharingan's tomoes spun wildly around the pupil when this power was active.

* ''ComicBook/{{Iznogoud}}'': "Mesmer-Eyezed" sees Iznogoud contracting a stage hypnotist who can make anyone think they are anything (usually an animal) by looking into his eyes. However, clapping breaks the spell, so when the vizier tries to get the hypnotist to make the Caliph think he is a donkey, suddenly they are unable to get away from people making clapping noises. Frustrated that Iznogoud refuses to pay him, the hypnotist makes him think he is a rattlesnake - a deaf rattlesnake who cannot hear the clapping that would break the spell...

They can also plant post-hypnotic commands in which the victim acts as a sleeper agent, seeing through their eyes and enforcing their control. Cole unfortunately had to find this out the hard way.

* [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] of ''CodeGeass'' has something akin to this; his 'Geass' (a power closely connected to eyes and sight) allows him to issue 'absolute orders'. Lelouch geasses you to do something, you do it. Not fully this trope (there are enough differences to distance it), but certainly closely related. [[spoiler: Especially when it becomes ''permanently'' active]].
** Rolo's Geass from R2 is more hypnotic in nature than Lelouch's (it freezes everyone's perception of time) and is centered on his eye, but it doesn't require eye contact to take effect (it works within a radius).
