Prophet Eyes: Difference between revisions

Characters with cataracted eyes. Sometimes it's just that - cataracted eyes.

* The Hyuuga clan of ''[[Naruto]]'' [[Inverted Trope|inverts this trope]], as the power of their Byakugan allows them to [[X-Ray Vision|see pressure and chakra points on their opponent]], theoretically allowing them to inflict maximum damage with every strike.

** Not to mention ''359 degree [[X-Ray Vision|X-ray]] telescopic night vision'' with a [[wikipedia:Solid angle|solid angle]] blind spot..

** In Seishirou's and Subaru's case, it's because their eyes are made of ''glass''.

* Red Capes in ''[[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]]'' have eyes like this, and they're sunken-in, too.

* The silver wolves in ''[[Hols: Prince of the Sun]]'' are the supernatural type, and are directly working for Grunwald, who ironically, is referred to throughout the film as 'The devil'.

* {{spoiler|Galatea}} from ''[[Claymore]]'', after the timeskip. And yes, hers come with a [[Disability Superpower]].

* Masane in ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'' temporarily gets these when an X-Con or Cloneblade user is near.

* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' features zombies with the classic "undead eyes" version; they make up for it by hearing unbelievably well, but having other senses dulled (i.e. dumbly walking into a wall, easily being pushed out of the way by someone walking quietly and carrying a wooden sword, walking right past someone who's just staying out of the way, etc.)

* The incredibly aged rat Nicodemus and The Great Owl in ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]''.

* [[Leonard Nimoy|Kashekim Nedakh]], the King of Atlantis from Disney's ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'' as opposed to having brown eyes like all of the other Atlanteans (except, oddly enough, his blue-eyed daughter). At the very beginning of the film, his eyes are drawn normally, meaning that he was blinded shortly after Atlantis ended up underwater.

 

== Film - Live-Action ==

'''Danko''': Then I'll settle for your eyes.

'''Elijah''': You don't scare me, white boy. ''(takes off sunglasses to reveal his milky white eyes)'' }}

* In The [[Chronicles of Riddick]], the eponymous character has silver/white eyes.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

** Greebo, Nanny Ogg's cat, has [[Boat Lights|one eye like this]].

* In Robert Newman's Young Adult novel ''The Case of the Baker Street Irregular'', [[Sherlock Holmes]] impersonates a blind man, and uses gutta-percha contacts to make his eyes appear this way.

* A particularly irritating [[Blind Seer]] has this quality in the ''[[Belgariad]]''. Eddings uses it to good effect—when Polgara destroys her foresight by restoring her vision, he describes it as looking like the milkiness drains out the bottom of her eyes.

** In the sequel series, the ''Malloreon'', [[The Dragon]] Naradas has these eyes. It's specified that he ''isn't'' blind; they're more of a [[Red Right Hand]].

* Geordi from ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]].'' Then in the movies he gets bionic eyes that look more ([[Wingding Eyes|or less]]) like regular ones. Before this, he used a VISOR which gave him a [[Disability Superpower|variety of visual abilities]] ranging from Infra red to seeing the "auras" of electromagnetic machines - but not the ability to see things such as sunsets, in any form except on their composite level. Apparently seeing a sunset as a series of infrared and ultraviolet rays really sucks the beauty out of it. The implants have the same visual range, but are more advanced and allow Geordi to control which parts of the electromagnetic spectrum he sees at any given time.

** Justified (though the writers probably didn't know it), inasmuch as perceived colors have relatively little to do with actual physical properties. There any many different ways a given color can be made with light, and Geordi might have trouble associating combinations of measured frequencies with colors. Also, the VISOR would not be able to duplicate the opponent process of human color vision and still convey all the information Geordi can apparently see.

** The psychic in ''Supernatural'' got a pair of plastic eyes that look like this [[Invoked Trope|on purpose]]. It makes her "look extra psychic".

* The guys in ''[[Testees]]'' after being temporarily blinded by pineapple shampoo.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' gives us an example of this trope in the beastmen of Khorne, known as Khorngor. Rather than being psychic or insightful in any way, they're [[Blood Knight]]s and some of them are even [[Anti-Magic]]. These eyes are a trait they share with many of Khorne's [[The Legions of Hell|Daemons]] as well.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

** Not just Dhalsim, not by a long shot. Bison, the evil dictator, has them and when combined with his blindingly white teeth and creepy grin, it makes him [[Nightmare Fuel|scary]]. Then there's Sagat,<ref>Sagat did have normal eyes in the [[Street Fighter (video game)|first game]] and early versions of ''II''; starting with ''Super Street Fighter II'' his remaining eye has been monochromatic in all his appearances, including the ''[[Street Fighter Alpha|Alpha]]'' games</ref> King of Muay Thai Boxing, who has lost one eye, but they were likely both just as white as the one he has left (no pun intended). Gen, the sickly old Chinese assassin has them as well. As well as some guy from the Alpha series. Come to think of it, Dhalsim is the only good guy with them.

** ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' adds [[Final Fight|Rolento]] to the group of villains with these. He had regular eyes in ''Final Fight'' and older ''Street Fighter'' titles, though...

* [[Blind Seer|Onin]] from the ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' series has these.

* The Grey Warden in ''[[Dragon Age]]'' ''Origins'' briefly gets these during the Joining. They come with a vision of the [[Big Bad]].

* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'': They are a side effect of [[Demonic Possession|possession]], in a [[Deconstruction]] of [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]. Not all characters with eyes like that are known to have gotten them this way, though.

* Meta Knight from ''[[Kirby]]'' actually has white eyes when he takes off the mask. When the mask is on he has [[Eyes of Gold]].

** And later for Sydney's Toph [http://www.unintentionallypretentious.com/index.asp?c=84 cosplay].
