* ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': Mitsuzane Kureshima was a sweet, happy kid before he got caught in a CosmicHorrorStory. His smiles went from normal to empty to dead eyed grins more akin to the rigor mortis of the victims of Joker's laughing gas as his sanity was slowly drained by the events.

* ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'': [[PsychopathicManchild Parado]] reacts to most things by smilling, which naturally creates a wide variety of uncanny expressions. The less scary [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTFGHZGrtbACdEPLAhoEoIlrzR4cxQMz0j5cM1wXKUCoyM0BNlj1g ones]] are a genuinely happy expression, but with all the front teeth barred in a predatory way. They usually appear in reaction to watching people try to murder each other or trying to do the deed himself. The more uncanny [[https://dryedmangoez.com/images/DryedKamen/ExAid/exaid32-1007.jpg ones]] are of the ''dead eyed, teeth barred'' variety and have nothing to do with actual smilling or the usual reason for. None of this still covers how bad things are when [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he]] [[OhCrap drops]] the act alltogether in favor of straight DeathGlare.
