Eye Scream/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': In the Mazinger vs Great General of Darkness feature, [[The Hero|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 [[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.

* 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.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|End of Evangelion]]'' loves this. {{spoiler|Unit 02 takes a Lance of Longinus replica to the face, causing Asuka to have her left eye put out. Later, Shinji causes Instrumentality to fail by bursting through Lilith/Rei's eyeball with the Lance of Longinus after being absorbed through a vagina-eye in her forehead. Dead fucking serious.}}

** 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 [[High-Pressure Blood|bleeds profusely]] out of both sides of it's head where it was shot.

Line 26:

** 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 {{spoiler|the resurrected Mana was ordered to kill Allen}}, he sliced up his face all around his left eye, leaving [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|a very obvious scar]] and an Akuma-detecting curse that another character quickly ceases to think of as [[Cursed with Awesome|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 '''[[Threat Backfire|quickly]]''' [[Literal Minded|sees a way around that...]]

* 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 '''[[Threat Backfire|quickly]]''' [[Literal-Minded|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.

Line 38:

** 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 {{spoiler|Tachibana's}} jump from [[Knight Templar]] to [[The Atoner]] was {{spoiler|him hitting his best friend Chitose in the eye and almost making him completely lose sight in it. }} We also have Ryoma getting hit in the eye with the handle of his own broken racket, {{spoiler|and later Fuji playing almost ''blind'' against Kirihara}}.

* 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.

* {{spoiler|Vice's little sister}} in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' gets a [[Stun Guns|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 of Power|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 You Can Heal|Good thing he can heal]]...[[A Fate Worse Than Death|or not]].

* In a flashback in ''[[Baccano!]]!'', Czeslaw Meyer gets stabbed in the eye with a red-hot poker. [[Good Thing You Can Heal|Good thing he can heal]]...[[A Fate Worse Than Death|or not]].

** Also, episode 15 finally reveals just how Nice Holystone got that eye-patch of hers first-hand. [[Squick|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 ''[[Squick|in her empty eye socket!]]''

** Also, in the light novels, {{spoiler|Firo}} takes one of {{spoiler|Huey's}} eyes.

*** As part of a plan orchestrated by {{spoiler|Renee}}, from whom the victim takes an eye in revenge.

Line 104:

* ''[[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 [[Villain Protagonist|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.

* 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.

Line 174:

* In ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'' ''Final'', Gai finally defeats [[A God Am I|Palpareppa]] by [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|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. It's a very disturbing reveal of just ''how devoted'' they are to their anime and manga. In the anime, it's [[Played for Laughs]], by just seeing comical struggling from outside the van, just barely skimming over how twisted these kids are.

* The manga ''[[Durarara!!]]'', depicts Erika and Walker torturing a man by imitating a scene from ''[[Black Butler]]'', by branding his eye. It's a very disturbing reveal of just ''how devoted'' they are to their anime and manga. In the anime, it's [[Played for Laughs]], by just seeing comical struggling from outside the van, just barely skimming over how twisted these kids are.

* Happens twice so far in [[Cage of Eden]]. 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.

* In [[Until Death Do Us Part]], Mamoru was blinded when {{spoiler|the person next to him was shot and ''exploded''.}} He gets [[Goggles Do Something Unusual|sunglasses]] that allow him to more-or-less see, though.

Line 199:

* The first chapter of ''[[One Piece]]''. As the Redhairs are attacked by a flock of bandits, Shanks's first mate Benn Beckman calmly [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|puts a cigarette out in the eye of a charging pirate,]] before proceeding to clobber the rest of them on his own.

* In ''[[Gamaran]]'' our hero does this to Junnosuke and later Baian of the Tengen Ryuu. The elite swordmaster Gensai Kinnaki has a penchant for chopping the arms and eyes of those who get too close to him.

* In ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'', 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.

** She gets a double whammy of [[Eye Scream]], when she is drugged by {{spoiler|Twelfth}}, and unable to fight back, has her bad eye plucked out of her head. By hand.

* Not too uncommon in ''[[Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin]]'', especially the manga.

** 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.}}

Line 210:

** 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.}}

* In the climax of the ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' anime (first season), [[Big Bad|Nobunaga]] performs a [[Neck Lift]] on [[Handicapped Badass|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.

* ''[[Grappler Baki]]'' 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''.

** 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...

* In an early chapter of ''[[The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service]]'', the gang runs afoul of a crooked insurance agent who kills people with [[Million-to-One Chance|probability]], and who suffers a [[Karmic Death]] 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.
