Prophet Eyes: Difference between revisions

This trope has nothing to do with [[Blank White Eyes]] except for the color. For other colors, see [[Monochromatic Eyes]]. See also [[Third Eye]] for a related mystic eye trope.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* 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.

* ''[[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.)

* ''[[Junji Ito]]'' depicts his fiancee "A-ko" with blank eyes and [[Stepford Smiler|a wide smile]] in ''Ito Junji's Cat Diary''.

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* 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 ==

* The [[Harry Potter (film)|film]] version of ''[[Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire]]'' has {{spoiler|Viktor Krum}} having these eyes when he points his wand at Harry with the Lumos spell {{spoiler|During the Third Tournament of the Tri-Wizard Cup}}. This, along with his action towards Harry, are early hints (both to Harry and the audience) that {{spoiler|Krum [[Brainwashed and Crazy|wasn't himself]] during the tournament}}.

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

== [[Literature]] ==

* In the ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' series, [[Blind Seer]] Jayfeather is often drawn this way in fanart and he appears like this on at least one foreign edition cover, even though in the books he's described as having rather normal eyes. Rock, on the other hand, has "sightless eyes" mentioned in his physical description, so we can assume the only way a cat could tell by sight that another is blind is because the blind cat has eyes that look like this.

* As the picture suggests, Isaac Mendez, along with Usutu and {{spoiler|Matt}}, in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''.

* Cassandra Carver, the [[Blind Seer]] in ''[[Smallville]]''.

** In the miniseries these were replaced with eyes that were probably bionic, which removed any prophetic abilities but gave her X-ray vision.

* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', after becoming the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Touched by Vorlons]], Lyta's eyes had a tendency to do this when demonstrating her powers.

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

* {{spoiler|Saxon}} in ''[[Candorville]]'' can make his eyes look like this at will. It's uncertain whether they have any special powers, but {{spoiler|they're clearly different from the [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] demonstrated by other vampires. This may be because he's a [[Dhampyr]], or because he's a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]].}}

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Raiden, Fujin, and a few others from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''. The bio in the manual lists Raiden's eyes as "None".

* Video game example: Agatha in ''Fahrenheit'' / ''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)]]''.

* Fubuki in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has these, though it's a bit hard to tell.

** The Fist Fighter class in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' has them, as well. He brings them up if you bug him in the classroom.

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

* Something strange happens to {{spoiler|Romeo Guildenstein's}} eyes in [[Vagrant Story]] after his body absorbs the power of [[The Dark Side]].

== [[Web Comics]] ==

** Played straight when Sydney buys white [[Naruto]]-style contact lenses from Luthor's store to [http://www.unintentionallypretentious.com/index.asp?c=63 temporarily] [http://www.unintentionallypretentious.com/index.asp?c=64 blind] herself in order to relate to Mia better.

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

== [[Web Original]] ==

* Herobrine, the ghost [[Urban Legend|said to]] haunt the game ''[[Minecraft]]'', is described and depicted as looking like a normal player model, but with blank white eyes.

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has the blind Earthbending master Toph Bei Fong.

* Corneal opacity can indeed result from congenital/hereditary defects, some diseases (eg river blindness, trachoma), or injury (eg chemical burn), sometimes resembling this trope.

** Some blind people have their eyes more or less permanently rolled up, which can give an impression of whiteness. Usually the eyes are half-closed, though, and/or there's a bit of iris showing at the top.
