A good sign that a character is absolutely terrified is if their eyes are bulging wide open and the irises and pupils are visibly shrunken, or even absent. This gives the impression that the character is screaming inwardly, even if they're speechless with shock. It comes across as striking and, if done well, can even be scary. Often a warning sign that the character is about to freak out. May also involve Tears of Fear. Can also happen if a character is badly injured, with bonus points if the scene cuts away to a Scream Discretion Shot. On the flip side, it can also be used when a character is very, very angry. A very minor case of Artistic License – Biology: while the pupil inside the iris can indeed shrink due to fear, the iris itself does not. Regardless, most artists consider it an Acceptable Break from Reality (see Open the Iris for reasons why).note That being said, a lot of examples feature cartoon characters whose eyes are only white circles with a black spot in the middle; and for them it's unclear if they have only a pupil and no iris at all, or very small irises the same color as their pupil. Frequently overlaps with Oh, Crap!. In Anime, this may be replaced with Blank White Eyes instead. Contrast Open the Iris, the trope's physical opposite. If this effect only happens to one eye and not the other, it's a case of Mad Eyes. Not to be confused with Sphere Eyes, which always look like dots. Nor has this anything to do with a Wide-Eyed Idealist. |

A rare realistic depiction in ParaNorman. Norman gets a vision of the famous witch trial of Blithe Hollow, in the position of the accused. Norman tries to defend himself, until he hears someone behind him, crying. His irises narrowing◊ in shock is a nice touch to The Reveal that the "witch" was a little girl who talked to ghosts. | |

Bleach: Happens on a regular basis in the anime, usually when one character is impressed by another character's power/abilities. Arisawa does this in chapter 410 when Aizen states he intends to kill her and draws his blade. |

In the first chapter of the Asteroid in Love manga, Ao gets this when the other new member says she wants to find an asteroid. Downplayed when it is adapted in the first episode of the anime, when her irises only shrinks a little when that other member's companion calls her "Mira". This is a benign example, however; the reason Ao gets this is because she had The Promise of "finding an asteroid together" with this Mira many years ago, but soon parted due to her family Really Moves Around. | |

Naruto: Since most of Kakashi's face is permanently hidden (usually just the one eye is left clear), this is what allows us to notice he's having an Oh, Crap! moment. Naruto himself gets a noteworthy set of these when Hinata gives him her Anguished Declaration of Love just before almost getting killed by Pain. Notable in that they are not momentary; he is so shocked, he has them for the ENTIRE SCENE. And then he, quite understandably, goes berserk. Oh boy, does he. |

Black Mage does this a few times in 8-Bit Theater, though given the fact that his eyes glow like two little lights under his hat, its hard to really say if he's a true example, even if his eyes do visibly shrink. Also, the current page picture◊ for Puff of Logic. |

In Muppet Treasure Island, Captain Smollet (Kermit) eyes bulge and get tiny irises as he grabs Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy) and keeps her from plummeting off a cliff. In this case, it's less from fear and more from the physical strain of catching and holding up a pig twice his size — and all the more jarring because he's a puppet whose eyes otherwise don't change at all. | |

Used to varying effect in Yandere Simulator. In the case of Yandere-chan, they slowly shrink when the player gets a Game Over by way of Senpai rejecting her or a teacher expelling her. For everyone else, they appear in the same fashion when they see something bad happen (either you killing someone or happening across a corpse). If they see you commit a murder, but you get away with it, their irises remain shrunken as a way of saying that they know you killed someone and they're going to damage your reputation continuously by spreading the word of your crime around the school. | |

Many Total Drama characters have big, expressive eyes, with irises that tend to shrink visibly during Oh, Crap! moments. Heather is the most prominent example, partly because she has the most expressive eyes of the entire cast and partly because she simply has more screen time than most. | |

This happens to Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, in the only scene where you really get a good look at both her eyes ("Oh my God, it's DIIIIIIP!"). And, indeed, her face looks more childlike (symbolizing her fundamental fear of Dip), and loses its more mature look, much like how many other toons do when faced with an instinctual fear. Judge Doom also has this look when he sees the Dip nozzle pointed at him was just turned on. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: Most characters do this when they're really scared, but Satoko has a habit of giving particularly haunting moments. One of these is Satoko's reaction to Keichii standing by her best friend's corpse in Tatarigoroshi-hen. Satoko freaks out, believing that Keichii was responsible, and while doing so, gives a picture perfect demonstration of the trope. Her reaction upon getting out of the river and returning to her school and finding her friends dead elicits this reaction from her as well, and it is also the expression her classmates are wearing. Gives a truly ghoulish impression. Keichii does it a few times as well. It's also used fairly often to show a character is going Ax-Crazy, to the point that most instances of Nightmare Face in the series include this. |

This happens a lot in the Joe & Mac series. It occurs whenever Joe, Mac, the enemies, and even the bosses receive damage. It's especially funny in Joe & Mac 2 considering that the dinosaur bosses in that game look more realistic compared to the other entries in the series. | |

Frequently seen in Turning Red, with some examples being: Mei, when she's about to snap from the embarrassment of her mother coming to school to bring her pads. Miriam, Priya, and Abby, seeing Mei's panda form for the first time. Mei, realizing that Stacy had caught her in her panda form (and Stacy, reacting to Mei's panda form). Mei, realizing that Tyler had put up embarrassing posters of her crush on Devon all over the school. Tae-young in the closing photo of all the cast together, when Abby jumps on his back. |

In the episode of American Dad! where Roger tricks Steve into joining a drug manufacturing operation by telling him it's Hogwarts, towards the end of the episode Roger gets knocked face first into a pile of some unspecified drug. When he pulls his face out, his pupils first dilated rather large, and he proceeded to disarm and kill every thug attacking him, and shoot a bunch of rounds into the ceiling because we was wired. Then, with one thug left, Roger realizes he has run out of ammo to use against the last armed thug, which causes his eyes to shrink to a pinpoint, and him to touch the TV in the room and call "Ah, TV is safe!" | |

He learns from Nedrick that the man in front of him is the ACTUAL Euden who was said to have died of wyrmscale as a baby and the one that the main Euden is a Replacement Goldfish. To prove his claim, Nedrick shows him the book that will only glow for those of Alberius's bloodline. It glows for his twin sister, Zethia, but when it's Euden's turn...it doesn't! | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Link does this in his Nightmare Sequence at the start of the game when Ganondorf is about to blast him with magic. Ganondorf does this after he is defeated and sealed away. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Link does this whenever he is hurt or surprised. In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Zelda does it in the scene where she learn the Demon King plans to possess her body. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, when Midna discovers the Mirror of Twilight has been broken, her eyes do this. In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Gorons get these kinds of eyes when startled or shocked. It's notable because their eyes otherwise lack visible irises. |

Gunnerkrigg Court had Kat eyes doing this when she was told about certain Power Tattoo. Repeated in a later scene that ends in a triple Beat Panel and deserves it. Annie gets her turn on the last page of chapter 36. In 751, Kat's eyes go from Black Bead Eyes, to this, to Blank White Eyes within three panels. |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil is usually known for its characters drawn with Large Pupils. But as an artistic style or storyboarder/character design choice, the character's eyes are drawn very small or with just small dots for the irises as a moment of worry or any weird expression. | |

Occurs often in One Piece- in Oda's art style, the shrunken irises are often split into two half-circles with a tiny dot in between for the pupil. Most others get a mix between anger and fear, but Luffy's is almost always rage when this happens. This notably happens only for the male characters. The female characters (and sometimes Chopper) avert this trope, because even though their eyes widen, their irises (which gain thicker outlines) and pupils stay the same size. In addition, their irises become white (only in the manga. In the anime, their irises gain a lighter shade of their regular eye color) and lose their shine. For example, here's an image of a very angry Nami.◊ |

Winnie the Pooh: Providing the page image, Rabbit's memorable freakout scene during The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which was fittingly animated by Don Bluth. When everyone notices the avalanche in The Tigger Movie, Eeyore reacts this way, and even Tigger's Black Bead Eyes are briefly replaced by wide, horrified eyes. |

South Park has used this trope a few times. In "Stunning and Brave", one of the PC Bros falls off the balcony and hits his head during the fight against them, when he hits his head and dies his pupils become very dilated. In "Wieners Out", when Sheila walks in on Gerald in the bathroom at night, he hisses at her with light shining on his face and very small pupils. |

Dragalia Life can have this happen on a regular basis with some of the slapstick that goes on. #103 has Cibella lifting weights to get stronger which prompts the resident Armsmaster Celliera to offer to put her through a workout. Euden overhears it and goes wide-eyed remembers having a nightmare of her taking his friend Luca out and coming out super tall and buff, then worrying if she does it to Cibella, the same would happen to her, prompting him to try and break it up. |

In Digimon Tamers, Guilmon is a childlike, friendly dinosaur Mon. He's also crazy powerful by Rookie-level standardsnote Actually common in Tamers, where Rookie Digimon are quite capable instead of Sleep-Mode Size; even Terriermon, who is the size of Digimon Adventure rookies, is a Pintsized Powerhouse who can clobber you with a frikkin' tornado. and when in a battle mindset can be feral and scary even to his friends. The signal that you should stop d'awwing over him and get out of his way in a big hurry is when his pupils suddenly shrink to pinpoints. | |

Go to Sleep (A Jeff the Killer Rewrite): Randy taunting "If I knew this emo lookin' fucker was going to be like this I would've pushed him instead." pushes Jeff into a trance-like state of rage. He stops suddenly in his tracks and his change in expression is described as "eyes widened, as his pupils and irises appeared to shrink." Some drawings show characters with widened eyes and shrunken pupils in moments of shock, or otherwise in Jeff's case. Randy and his gang wear the same horrified reaction when they accidentally burn Jeff alive. As Jeff's sanity weakens, his smile looks manic as his pupils get smaller, which eventually carries into his Slasher Smile. When Liu discovers Jeff's bloody smile, he has the same shrunken irises as his brother, but from terror instead of insanity. |

When Tanna of Ears for Elves first sees Rolan (who is moving at high speed), her widened eyes, tiny irises, and high arched eyebrows indicate her surprise/shock. The black and white explosion-style background also shows suddenness. | |

In The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan, Nova Shine does this when Twilight confesses her love to him. He has crippling Commitment Issues, and had been trying to keep her at arm's length while he sorted his own feelings for her, causing him to freak out. | |

In Street Fighter IV, activating a Super Combo or Ultra Combo will make the screen darken and the action slow down. This is not terribly different from conventional 2D Fighting Games using 2D graphics, which usually darken and go slow-motion/pause for super moves as well. A nice touch that is different in this game (which uses 3D graphics) is that you often get to see the other fighter’s eyes slowly do this as they get that gut feeling that their opponent is about to open a biiiiig can of whoop-ass... | |

Dragon Ball Z already has most characters displaying proportionately small irises/pupils, but when they're frightened or under stress, their pupils shrink to pinpricks &/or go white. As a side note, Super Saiyans lack pupils, arguably, this makes them really scary. |

Popuko of Pop Team Epic naturally has wide eyes, but when she gets angry (which happens very easily), her irises shrink to the size of periods. | |

Used to hilarious effect by Ludger in Tales of Xillia 2, after he tests out a mind-reading device on Musee and learns that she's a lot wackier then she lets on; the accompanying dumbfounded facial expression making it all the more priceless. However, it's also used in a serious fashion throughout the game, often as a result of a mortal wound. | |
