Very prevalent in anime: whenever a person's opponent gets behind them, instead of turning around, their eyes will snap sideways. As anyone with any common sense will tell you, it doesn't work. However, it just looks so much cooler this way. This is often accompanied by a close up of the person's face, or even the outside eye. There is also a calmer version used to demonstrate the fact that the observant character is well aware that the spy or stowaway is there. Yet another variation is used when the character is talking to someone with his/her back turned to them. If this happens, pay attention to what was just said, because it's probably important. Not that you can tell from behind. This trope is an example of what happens when the Rule of Perception teams up with parallel projection (the process of representing a three-dimensional environment using a two-dimensional medium) to "erase" the third dimension: the screen on which an audience views the work doesn't have a third dimension; therefore, to the eyes of the audience, neither does the environment depicted, which in turn makes turning one's body unnecessary to adequately convey their line-of-sight. Truth in Television, though: if you hear something behind you, your eyes will often reflexively flick towards the direction of the ear closest to the sound, even if you don't turn your head to look. This trope is almost never played for comedy. If it's the Aside Glance, then it's not this. Compare Look Behind You. Examples |

Bleach uses this fairly often. Justified, considering all the Teleport Spam that goes on in that show. If a fight scene with Ichigo goes by without one of these, then something is seriously wrong. Well, either that, or he's in for a Curb-Stomp Battle. |

Naruto is fairly fond of this. It happens multiple times in Gaara's fight with Rock Lee, after Lee removes his training weights. |

Digimon Adventure, Myotismon does this when talking to Gatomon behind him—peering at her through his high collar.◊ | |

In Soul Eater Eruka Frog pairs this with Oh, Crap! after realizing that 1) Black*Star has survived her barrage of bombs and 2) He's very, veeery angry about it. | |

In Gamaran, the deadly martial artist of the Muhou School Kiyomori Yamanoue barely looks at Kashitarou when he arrives behind him, asking who's there. In this case, this is likely motivated by Kiyomori's massive hubris. | |

A very definitely non-comedic example happens in Fate/Zero when Kirei betrays Tohsaka by stabbing him with the Azoth Dagger. | |

This comes up often in the Fate/stay night Fate anime. Archer will not usually face Shirou when talking to him. | |

In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Demifiend does this when he fights Dante in the Labyrinth of Amala. | |
