Line 37:
** Likewise, the demons they hunt (and have been [[Deadly Upgrade|implanted with]]) always have golden eyes.
* These appear on C.C. from ''[[Code Geass]]'', an apparently [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|immortal]] young woman who appears to be involved in an elaborate [[Xanatos Roulette]] within the series.
** Likewise, her ''[[Darker
* Ed in ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has gold eyes, which is most likely a reflection of her semi-feral personality.
* All of the Noah family in ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' have golden eyes.
Line 44:
** In the manga version, {{spoiler|Doctor Kabapu has the same eyes, which hints at the fact that they're both from [[Utopia|a long-lost ancient civilization]]}}.
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Ed has his father's eyes, which {{spoiler|is a mark of Hohenheim being ethnically Xerxian, i.e. belonging to a lost civilization}}. Although it originally doesn't have anything to do with this, Hohenheim's 'golden-headedness' is {{spoiler|associated in ancient alchemical texts with the 'perfection' of an immortal man who is essentially a walking Philosopher's Stone}}.
** Alphonse is also a golden-eyed blond, though, in the [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|2003 anime version]], he had brown eyes and darker hair than Ed.
** Ed and Al's characteristics are remarkable enough in Amestris that several characters, including their childhood friend Winry, comment on this. It's actually heavily implied that {{spoiler|no one else other than Hohenheim, Ed, and Al have these characteristics, as the rare golden-eyed people of Xerxes have been extinct for four hundred years and Hohenheim is the last existing survivor of the civilization due to very strange circumstances}}. Also, {{spoiler|the homunculus known as 'Father' looks like an older Hohenheim because he made a container for himself shaped like Hohenheim's body.}}
** [[Psycho for Hire|Solf J. Kimblee]] had these in the manga and [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime]] (though they are blue in Brotherhood), although, unlike the brothers Elric and Hohenheim, his golden eyes do not seem to {{spoiler|be related to Xerxian ancestry}}, instead, cluing the audience into his psychotic nature.
Line 119:
** Medusa. No explicit connection to the fact that she's a witch. The [[Hellish Pupils]] moments definitely [[Animal Motifs|are]], though.
* Not a supernatural reference, but twins Kaoru and Hikaru from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' have golden eyes. Let's face it, they're not exactly the nicest kids on the block and have a collective trickster streak several miles wide and a few continents long.
* Gold seems to be the most common eye color in the ''[[Baccano!]]'' universe. Characters that have them include Luck, Chane, Huey, Nicholas, Rachel, and Ronnie.
* Saralegui from ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh!|Kyo Kara Maoh]]''. He wears purple-tinted glasses to cover them, because having Gold Eyes {{spoiler|means he's part of a very-near extinct race (that was sealed away) with extraordinary powers.}} His eyes glow blue whenever he's giving someone a 'hint', aka trying to possess them to do his bidding.
* Tasuki of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', who is initially portrayed with more of a wolf motif. The kitsune qualities and shapeshifting are trademarks of his comrade, Chichiri.
Line 263:
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''Survival'', people under the malign influence of the Cheetah Planet acquired golden, cat-like eyes. This included the Master and Ace. The Master's subsequent incarnation (in the [[Made for TV Movie|TV Movie]]) had golden [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]], which may have been related to this, or his being a CGI snake for a while, or something else.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has the appropriately named [[Big Bad]], "Yellow Eyes", otherwise known as Azazel or the Demon.
** In certain light, {{spoiler|Gabriel's eyes are a light golden/amber color as well. Being that he's an all-powerful Archangel who can create something out of nothing, Richard Speight Jr.'s natural eye color worked wonderfully.}}
* The titular character of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' has blue eyes, but they glow gold when he does magic.
* Subverted in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''; the Enkarans are a race of humans with pale golden eyes and extreme weakness to radiation...but aside from that, they're indistinguishable from normal humans in both appearance and behavior.
Line 269:
* In ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'', every time Ryotaro is possessed by Kintaros, his eyes become yellow.
* [[Power Rangers|Megazords]] tend to have yellow eyes, and several individual Zords have them too.
* All vampires in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel]]'' have gold eyes when in [[Game Face]].
** Buffy herself has (quite different) gold eyes when the gang use an enjoining spell to infuse her with all their combined abilities.
* In ''[[Sanctuary]]'', Henry's eyes turning yellow is one of the first indications that his [[Our Werewolves Are Different|transformation into a werewolf]] has been triggered and are usually the very last to disappear when he changes back. On one occassion, he manages to tap into his werewolf side and use its strenght to escape a [[They Would Cut You Up|holding cell]]. He remains completely human throughout this, except for a glowing pair of these.
* ''[[The Fades]]'' has the [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Fade]] Polus and his followers. This signifies both that they have powers beyond those of normal Fades and that the characters have pronounced animalistic sides, as the source of these powers is [[I'm a Humanitarian|eating human flesh]].
Line 277:
== Music ==
* The Flock Of Seagulls song ''I Ran'': the girl has "auburn hair and tawny eyes".
* The Sixx AM song, ''The Girl With Golden Eyes''. The girl is a physical representation of Nikki Sixx's heroin abuse; more importantly, a heroin dose leaves a small golden track mark dot.
Line 378:
* Poet from Pop 'n Music has bright yellow eyes (golden orange in her alternate colors). This is rather unusual, as her, ah, supernatural origin would be pretty obvious without it.
* Florence Ambrose in ''[[Freefall]]'' [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2000/fc01918.htm has those][[Big Badass Wolf|(she's a wolf)]]. The author omits them most of the time, though.
* All the [[Our Goblins Are
* [[Wapsi Square]]: [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/grandpagettinsome/ Jin has golden eyes].
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3666 an enraged Fuschia].
