Red Eyes, Take Warning: Difference between revisions

** In anime episode 9, the hollow Grand Fisher had glowing red eyes.

** In the anime, Gin's [[Eyes Always Shut|eyes]] were revealed as red during his fight with Hitsugaya. However, once the manga revealed them to be blue, the anime corrected this, and Gin's eyes were blue ever after.

** In anime episode 210, after Captain Kensei Muguruma underwent hollowfication, he had glowing red eyes under his mask.

** Anime episode 214: the hollow that attacks Don Kanonji and Kisuke Urahara and the giant hollow fortress have red eyes.

** Rokudo Mukuro, also from ''Katekyo Hitman Reborn'', has [[Mismatched Eyes|one red eye and one blue one]], the red one being the one he draws his powers from.

* An inversion in ''[[D.Gray-man]]'': If Allen's [[Cursed with Awesome|cursed left eye]] turns [[Hellish Pupils|black with red concentric rings]], you should probably start running. However, it's not a matter of running from ''him'' - it's because he just spotted an Akuma and you really don't want to be around when there's bullets flying through the air that can make you dissolve.

* In ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'', Vincent's [[Mismatched Eyes]] qualify him for this trope and [[Eyes of Gold]].

** Break also has redish eye(s) and {{spoiler|it turns out that, back when he was the illegal contractor Kevin Regnard, he was also known as the Red Eyed Ghost}}.

* Izaya from ''[[Durarara]]'' has these; they contrast with Shizuo Heiwajima's [[Eyes of Gold]]. {{spoiler|Also, Anri Sonohara when activating Saika, as well as those under Saika's control.}}

* Played straight with [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Ardi]] from ''[[Magical X Miracle]]'' (YMMV on whether he's a [[Complete Monster]] or a [[Tragic Monster]]), but partially subverted with Yue, whose [[Mismatched Eyes|one red eye]] doesn't seem to mark him as any more evil or dangerous than any other high-caliber [[Renaissance Man|wizard/politician/scientist]] (although his [[Sleazy Politician]] enemies may beg to differ). {{spoiler|In the doujinshi the author made of her own series (this particular one was Yue's very [[Belated Backstory]]), however, it is revealed a person with red eyes is, by default, a [[Sociopath]] [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|with powerful magic]]. Because of his other ([[Silver Bullet|silver]]) eye, Yue dodges the insanity bullet, but the resulting [[Honor-Related Abuse]] from his family because of his "[[Bad Powers, Good People|evil]]" magic does a number on his psyche, giving a [[Freudian Excuse]] for his antisocial behaviour and radical political views}}. And to those of you interested in characters' backstories, [[It Got Worse]], but that's an [[Crying Little Kid|entirely]] [[I Just Want to Have Friends|different]] [[Defeat Means Friendship|trope]].

** If Tsukune EVER gains these, ''run''. No if and/or buts about it. It either means he's angry or [[Super-Powered Evil Side|wo]][[Our Ghouls Are Creepier|rse]]...

* ''[[FLCL]]'':

* When [[Artificial Intelligence|Nicole]] is brainwashed and turned against the protagonists in ''[[Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', her eyes change from [[Green Eyes|green]] to red. Cue major [[Oh Crap]] moment for the good guys and a [[Hero with Bad Publicity]] moment that continues to torment her long after she was returned to normal.

* The original version of the [[Marvel Universe]] supervillain The Basilisk.

* [[Irredeemable|The Plutonian]]. Dear god, the Plutonian.

* In ''The Brute'' #1 (February 1975), the [http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/brute1.jpg titular creature's eyes glow red when a man knocks his friend, Dr. Turner, unconscious]. He then [http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/brute2.jpg kills the man by throwing him against a wall].

** Amity poses no threat, however, so this trope is similarly averted.

* ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'': Aaryanna, Aniz, Dark Pegasus, Kria, and Regina all have red eyes, and are all pretty evil to varying degrees ([[Villainy Discretion Shot|Villainy Discretion Shots]] notwithstanding).

* The yellow salamander/lizard-thing from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. It may not have been evil, per se, but it was certainly dangerous. {{spoiler|The lizard was a house fire that killed a small child and his family.}}

* The "tainted" or Ver'drowendar from ''[[Drowtales]]'' have red irises; they "have been seeded by a demonic entity".

*** To say nothing of a potential Private Action moment quite past his [[Heel Face Turn]] where, while walking around in a serene and peaceful city of sorts, he expresses the barely restrained desire to just snap and start killing left and right so much the city's atmosphere's disturbing him.

* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'':

** Lulu from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', too. Although, for a heroic character, she's certainly dark, spooky, and lethal. I guess it's not that uncommon in Spira.

** ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'':

** Also, Ragna the Blood Edge. Subverted for two reasons: only one eye is red and, although he is a good guy, he's still pretty dangerous anyway.

** Also, Rachel Alucard. Yet another subversion; sure, she's extremely powerful, both in-game and in-story, {{spoiler|and is actually one of the most powerful beings around}}, a vampire, a bit of a [[Jerkass]], and rather manipulative, but she really does mean well. Interestingly enough, she's the reason {{spoiler|Ragna has that one red eye}}.

* Not exactly evil, but Kate from ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' is pretty mean as a child and rude as a teenager. Most of the other red-eyed characters subvert this, though.

* Irisu from [[Irisu Syndrome]] is a cute albino and, as such, has red eyes. However, she's too cute to be evil. [[Nightmare Fuel|Depending on your score, however...]]
