Line 8:

See also [[The Faceless]] and [[Kubrick Stare]]. Sometimes, the eyes are hidden behind a pair of [[Scary Shiny Glasses]].

For characters that literally and permanently lack eyes, see [[Eyeless Face]].

* Ururu Tsumugiya from ''[[Bleach]]'' (pictured above) does this when she enters Hollow-killing mode, much to the horror of some of the people she hunts. [[Gentle Giant]] Chad from the same series usually has this purely due to the length of his bangs.

Line 50:

* Kan'u Unchou from ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'' (especially ''Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny'') displays this (though in a manner similar to Chad's).

** Also Nanoha in ''StrikerS'' when releasing Raising Heart, just before her [[Barehanded Blade Block]] on Subaru and Teana. This coupled with some [[Off Model]] animation in the TV version, caused some viewers to doubt whether she was emotionally sound at the time.

* Dave's [[Good Angel Bad Angel|evil conscience]] from ''[[College Roomies From Hell]]'' is always depicted with shadow hiding his eyes, though one was visible silhouetted in his first appearance. This has led to [[Fan Nickname|fans nicknaming him]] "Shadow Dave" or "Shadave" for short.
