Eyelid-Pull Taunt: Difference between revisions

 

In Japan this is referred to as ''akanbe'' (a corruption of ''akai me'', "red eye"), and it's called ''mon oeil'' ("my eye") in France and Quebec. This is in fact a Franco-Japanese cultural trope, but you'll see it everywhere in anime. Easily mistaken for the [[Eye Am Watching You]] gesture, but it's entirely unrelated. See also [[Blowing a Raspberry]].

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* Princess Mashiro does this to a trio of castle guards in the first episode of ''[[Mai-Otome (Anime)|Mai-Otome]]'', as seen in the image above.

* Usagi and Rei's relationship in ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]]'' is largely giving each other red-eye.

* Ryunosuke and Yoshimi give the Red Eye to Arisa and Kyoko at the end of the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (Anime)|All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku]]''.
