Eye Scream/Anime and Manga

We all scream for Eye Scream. Here, then, are the list of anime and manga examples of this trope.

"Vegeta(after getting hit for the third time in the right eyesocket):"The Eye! The Eye! Why is always that goddamned eye!?""
 * To Aru Majutsu no Index: Happens when the fact that some of Index's bites are apparently going for Touma's eye sockets.
 * There is also an "ear scream" moment later, when militant sisters gouge out their ears to prevent a spell that disrupts their faith. It's much worse than it sounds.
 * Shiage gouges out Mugino's eye. She gets an artificial one later.
 * Baka to Test To Shoukanjuu: Episode 6. poor, poor Yuuji. Shouko does not want Yuuji looking at other girls so she does this...three times; the only word for this is "ouch."
 * Shouko does that even on the slightest instant she suspects Yuuji to be a little sexually liberated.
 * Happens to Kaede in Mai-Chan's Daily Life. Fairly tame by comparison to, oh, everything that has happened up to that point or afterwards.
 * During one battle in Legend of the Galactic Heroes, 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.
 * Mazinger Z: In the Mazinger vs Great General of Darkness feature, Kouji shot Mazinger's drilling missiles right in the eye of a 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 Humongous Mecha Torpedo Tits the only weak points of the Mechanical Beast Gumbina M5... its eyes. Double ouch.
 * Perfect Blue: 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.
 * In 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.
 * End of Evangelion loves this.
 * Also in the series itself: in the very first fight with the 3rd angel, Unit 01 gets shot repeatedly in the eye by the angel's laser at point blank range. The result? Unit 01 flies back about 100 yards and bleeds profusely out of both sides of it's head where it was shot.
 * In End of Evangelion, during Asuka's "I don't want to die" 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 eye sockets. Long story short Evangelion has a thing for horrifying people.
 * Vicious, the Big Bad of Cowboy Bebop, lives up to his name in episode 25 when he violently takes over leadership of the Red Dragon. The way he deals with one of the three leaders of The Syndicate can be best summed up in these words: "You will shed tears of scarlet."
 * Fruits Basket: 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.
 * Gundam 00 has a thing for blasting out the protagonists' right eyes. It happened to . Extra points to the latter for removing the eye that represented that character's, symbolic of that side's loss.
 * It is later revealed
 * When confronted by Mai, Natsuki and Midori in a late Mai-HiME episode, local Dark Magical Girl 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 pissed off.
 * The eponymous girls from Gunslinger Girl 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, which gets addressed in a rather gruesome way in Elsa's story,.
 * 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 key through her right eye.
 * And again invoked when
 * In D Gray Man,
 * And then we get to see his partially regrown-but-still-not-there eye-socket!
 * How he got the curse on his eye: in the backstory, when, he sliced up his face all around his left eye, leaving a very obvious scar and an Akuma-detecting curse that another character quickly ceases to think of as lucky for Allen when he briefly ends up sharing it.
 * In Elfen Lied, 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 quickly sees a way around that...
 * Given the general dark, gory tone of Elfen Lied, he was practically Tempting Fate.
 * 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.
 * During the horrific finale of the Berserk anime,.
 * What's worse is that Guts remaining eye gets repeatedly threatened in the following arcs.
 * Chakrams can cut eyes in half...
 * One of Bishop Mozgus' disciples uses red-hot pliers to pull eyeballs out...
 * According to the manga, a good solid punch to the head will make your eyes pop right out. Every time.
 * Also, Miura seems to have a fondness of drawing people's heads getting cut in half, right at eye level. Graphically.
 * And getting stabbed or shot in the eye with an arrow takes the eyeball with it.
 * 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.
 * Casca stabbing one of her would-be rapists in the eye with a stick and then the same guy 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*
 * Serpico stabs a kelpie through the head, and then next page we see its left eyeball dangling from the socket.
 * In The Prince of Tennis, what prompted  jump from Knight Templar to The Atoner was   We also have Ryoma getting hit in the eye with the handle of his own broken racket,.
 * In Deadman Wonderland, 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 reasearch (though he gets better within a couple of chapters.)
 * In the anime series 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.
 * in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha gets a magical bullet in the eye, though it eventually gets better. Little Miss Badass Cinque wasn't quite as lucky. There's a reason she wears an eyepatch, and we get to see the incident when she lost her eye via flashback.
 * In a flashback in Baccano!, Czeslaw Meyer gets stabbed in the eye with a red-hot poker. Good thing he can heal...or not.
 * Also, episode 15 finally reveals just how Nice Holystone got that eye-patch of hers first-hand. It's as hard to watch as you'd think.
 * Let's cut the chase: she played with gunpowder as a child. She hasn't learned her lesson, either - she keeps a spare bomb in her empty eye socket!
 * Also, in the light novels,  takes one of  eyes.
 * As part of a plan orchestrated by, from whom the victim takes an eye in revenge.
 * The manga version of Battle Royale has several, mostly courtesy of Kiriyama. The first comes in a flashback scene where a bullying Judo teacher made the mistake of pushing Kiriyama around, and Kiryiama 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 Sugimura, Kiriyama stabs Sugi in one eye with a throwing dagger.
 * The movie version has Kiriyama walking out of a burning house with bleeding eyes... Well, those used to be his eyes, anyway.
 * In Inuyasha, the titular character 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, this is done through magic. In the manga, on the other hand, Sesshomaru does it the good old-fashioned way by stabbing him in the eye and digging out the pupil with his fingernails (Good Thing You Can Heal).
 * Fast Forward to.
 * A flashback in Hellsing shows a young Seras putting a fork through the eye of an assailant.
 * There's also 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.
 * It actually happens at least once per OVA to the point that it's become a Running Gag. 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.
 * Used then averted in Bleach when Kenpachi uses this against  He stabs his opponents eyepatch as he's going to attack, saying that the eye socket is the most vulnerable place.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * And in chapter 450 of the manga,  Lampshaded by the chapter's name "Blind Solitude". Though   gets better in the following chapters.
 * And later, during Ichigo's fight with Ulquiorra, 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.
 * Played for Laughs in the Soul Society arc, when cat!Yoruichi headbutts Orihime in the eye for using her powers in the wrong moment and thus putting herself in danger.
 * New Getter Robo's Heroic Sociopath Jin Hayato deals with one of his dissenting henchmen by slashing his eyes out with his razor-sharp fingernails.
 * Cho Hakkai from 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.
 * We're not sure about the extent of the damage yet, but in the last chapter of Saiyuki Reload,.
 * Something similar to the example above happens in Saint Seiya, . And also, one of  's most famous actions is him
 * And in the filler arc of Asgard, Shiryu get his eyes damaged again in his fight with Fenrir.
 * During the Galactic Tournament arc. in the anime, 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 Turned Ikki), remember? Well, guess what he did in the original manga...
 * In Ikki Tousen,  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).
 * Subverted at 1:26 of Azumanga Daioh's infamous "Osaka and the Knife" scene, in a possible parody of the aforementioned Un Chien Andalou.
 * Vegeta got an eye taken out in his battle with Goku in Dragon Ball Z. It got better.
 * Mercilessly parodied in the Abridged Series.

"* pop*
 * Yu-Gi-Oh! 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 Millenium eyes; not that it does him much good, . The Movie 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.
 * Horribly and hilariously Lampshaded in Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series:

Pegasus: AGH! That's the WRONG EYEBALL, you fool!

Bakura: Oh, sorry.


 * pop*

Pegasus: Much better."

"Bakura: I spy, with my little eye, something that begins with "I". Guess what? It's your eye!
 * Referenced yet again in the re-cap episode:

Pegasus: But "eye" doesn't start with--


 * pop!*"

"What does it feel like to have your eyeball fluids evaporate?"
 * And in Yu-Gi-Oh R, Pegasus' protege Yako gets his own version. There's no apparent physical trauma, but immediately after 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 Mad Eye going throughout the series.
 * In Yu-Gi-Oh GX, there are two examples. Jim Cook has one of his eyes replaced by the Orichalcum Eye  The second one involves Yubel.
 * In Afro Samurai, 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.
 * In 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.)
 * In the 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.
 * In Hell Teacher Nube, the local Ojou is possessed by an Obake that takes the form of a 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.
 * Though but one of the many gruesome, horrifying things that the Mushi from 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 Invisible to Normals.) Just be glad that they don't exist. Maybe.
 * 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  and.
 * Ninja Scroll: This is the result when Jubei determines that Tessai is not quite “hard as rock all over.”
 * In The Demon Ororon, Othello decides he likes Mitsume's third eye, so he rips it out and swaps one of his own eyes with it.
 * In Gungrave 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 doesn't get his eye back.
 * In Rose of Versailles,  loses an eye very messily  midway the story while protecting Oscar. She does not take that kindly and almost kills the culprit, a local Well Intentioned Extremist, but backs off at the last moment to not fall as low as the guy.
 * In Naruto Kishimoto is a BIG fan of the trope, as well as eye transplants. To start, we have the part where
 * In the anime, it¿'s not pretty either. You see  Thank GOD for the Gory Discretion Shot. That said, we get the same thing with Izuna and Madara, only Sasuke gets splattered with Izuna's blood. Nice.
 * actually stabs out 's eyes in order to.
 * In chapter 551 this is how
 * Kakashi Gaiden:
 * Pain tried to kill by shooting a nail into his eye..
 * Also, in a final act of defiance against Madara, destroyed  which he had implanted to prevent Madara from using it. This was thankfully offscreen.
 * Yu Yu Hakusho has done this as well, though in a different manner. Hiei's Jagan Eye transplant, which is a Third Eye 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.
 * Made even worse in the anime when the doctor, a Combat Medic 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. The scene cuts to outside Shigure's compound, and the viewers hear a bloodcurdling scream from Hiei.
 * Played straight with King Yomi, who during a battle in his past, had both of his eyes slashed by swords at close range. Ouch! Luckily, he managed to wound his assailant with an accidental stab, thus saving himself from death.
 * Violent fight comic Shamo is chock full of cringe-inducing, vision-averting Eye Scream moments, including how Ryo Narushima won a qualifying match, as well as how a later seen character made himself blind. The worst part? No weapons assisted in these blinding moments, just fingers and toes involved.
 * Rokudo Mukuro from Katekyo Hitman Reborn jams his finger into his right eye to activate the Fifth Path, the State of Humans. Apparently, he recovers.
 * 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.
 * You want some Eye Scream? Watch Barefoot Gen, Hiroshima Destroyed.
 * Happens a lot in the Kara no Kyoukai film series.
 * In the fourth movie, where
 * In the fifth movie "Paradox Spiral": near the beginning, when a male character beats off a delinquent chasing him by shoving a thumb through his eye, and near the end, a scene... which probably shouldn't be described for reasons of Squick.
 * And in the seventh movie,
 * Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure
 * Jonathan Joestar gets a thumb in his eye in just the second chapter. It ends with him yelling "My eye is bleeding!" Later Dio gets his, via a rose stem.
 * There are several examples in Part 3 as well: the possessed nurse in Kakyoin's introduction arc, Silver Chariot's opening salvo on Devo, and N'Doul's incapacitation of Kakyoin.
 * In Part 2, Wham/Wam/Waam damages his own eyes so he'll take a fight more seriously. He can regenerate them, being a super-vampire,.
 * There is a manga adaptation of 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.
 * In the chapter 94 of Fullmetal Alchemist... well, I'll let the quote tell the story.

"Araragi-kun, your wounds heal very quickly, don't they? So I bet it'd be okay if I just took out an eyeball."
 * In the 2003 anime
 * Also, Lan Fan tried to poke Ed's eyes out with her fingers when they fought.

 * From the manga Dead End: (paraphrased) "Do I look okay? I have needles where my eyes are supposed to be!"
 * The manga MPD Psycho involves barcoded eyeballs.
 * 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.
 * In Buso Renkin, Tokiko tries twice to gouge out her enemy's eyes with her fingers. As Watsuki says in the liner notes, "Tokiko loves to go for the eyes."
 * She even does it to Kazuki in the last chapter, when he's looking at her funny.
 * In Chrono Crusade, 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.
 * In the Code Geass spin-off Manga Suzaku of the Counterattack, Schneizel
 * In Project ARMS, 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).
 * Hitagi Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari nearly stabs Koyomi Araragi in the eye with a mechanical pencil after he so much as talks about another female using her first name without an honorific.

 * Hitagi Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari nearly stabs Koyomi Araragi in the eye with a mechanical pencil after he so much as talks about another female using her first name without an honorific.

""I am Iris's right eye." "I am Anemone's left eye.""
 * She also jabbed him in the eyes with her fingers once for referring to her as Senjougahara-chan rather than Senjougahara-sama like she wanted.
 * Tears of blood are one of the first signs that you are a victim of the virus in Emerging. It quickly progresses into 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.
 * In DOGS Bullets and Carnage, one of the flashbacks show
 * Xerxes Break in Pandora Hearts 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.
 * 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; Break's eye was meant for her cat.

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,
 * In 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.
 * Shape-ified  also suffers one of these when he  . You don't see the actual injury, but you hear it.
 * Ashitaka does this near the beginning of Princess Mononoke. When his village is threatened by a boar-demon covered in big wriggly tentacles, he at first tries to reason with it. When said demon starts charging toward his little sister, he puts an arrow directly into the monster's eye. The inhuman scream it lets out when the arrow makes contact accurately sums up the feelings of the audience.
 * In Tokyo Tribe 2, this happens to Renkon Chef in episode 6 when
 * Eye trauma is a mainstay in the mangas by Suehiro Maruo: people are blinded (sometimes self inflicted, always bloodily) with anything from needles to katanas; 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.
 * In Ga Rei Zero, 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...

 * In Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni 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.
 * Used in the Matsuribayashi-hen manga when a young orphan girl gets her eye punctured by a chicken while being tortured in the Orphanage of Fear.

 * In Gao Gai Gar Final, Gai finally defeats Palpareppa by Ripping the Loud G-Stone powering him right out of his socket.
 * The manga Durarara, depicts Erika and Walker torturing a man by imitating a scene from Black Butler, by branding his eye.

 * One of the suggested methods for dealing with an intruder in Litchi Hikari Club was to put out his eyes. As this was highly symbolic, it was approved.
 * CLAMP seems to have a definite 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 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."
 * Seishirou Sakurazuka in Tokyo Babylon 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.
 * Subsequently in X 1999, Subaru gets his eye torn out by Fuuma. 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.
 * In the manga,
 * Doumeki and Watanuki go back and forth over this one in Xxx Holic. After Doumeki brushes a spiderweb off Watanuki, he starts to go blind in one eye as a result of the 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.
