  • Often seen in manga and anime, a Face Fault is an exaggeration of facial features meant to convey extreme shock or surprise. A flabbergasted character's mouth will open until it literally hits the floor and eyes will become larger than usual. Most often a face fault is accompanied by the character simply falling over from shock.
