Kagerou Daze/Eye Abilities

Eye Abilities (目の能力 Me no Nōryoku) are powers derived from Azami's snakes, which are the physical manifestations of her wishes. Each snake's set of abilities is based on the wish that created them. After Azami gave the Snake of Combining Eyes to Marry, the snakes began to leave the Kagerou Daze by joining with deceased humans who entered it and have similar wishes to those that created them. This, in turn, gives these humans a surrogate life to return to the real world with and the snake's Eye Abilities. Generally, those without Combining Eyes initially do not have much control over their Eye Abilities and can only perform its basic function, but they can train themselves to control and further use their powers. When the abilities are activated, the users' eyes turn red and become similar to those of a snake.

Tsubomi Kido

 * Kido can use Concealing Eyes can divert attention away from herself, people, and objects within two meters of herself, making it seem as if they are invisible. Physical contact and familiarity with the concealed person(s) and/or objects, however, can break the effect. Furthermore, it is weak against people who are familiar with those that are being concealed, such as Shintaro to his sister, Momo. She has practiced to control her ability and can use it to suppress Momo's own ability. When using her ability at full strength, she can apply it to objects outside of a two-meter radius, especially when the objects are interconnected, like a building. Kido's ability also allows her to conceal her own memories, though she does this with Azami's guidance in the Kagerou Daze. Kido's ability can also affect virtual objects, such as Takane's crosshairs in the Headphone Actor game. When using her eye ability on a chatroom in Mekakucity Talkers, she can make parts of her messages on the spot appear deleted.

Azami

 * Azami's could use Concealing Eyes to not only fade out of notice, but to also "conceal" someone's senses from themselves. She could do this to such an extent that the targeted person would no be longer capable of recognizing sound, light or even their own heartbeat.

Marry Kozakura

 * In both the Novel Route and Manga Route 2, Marry gains the Snake of Concealing Eyes and is able to use its abilities to their full extent with Combining Eyes. She, just like Kido and her grandmother, uses it to conceal herself and others. In the manga, she uses it to conceal her and her target's surroundings, making them perceive the world as only white emptiness.

Kousuke Seto

 * Seto's ability allows him to read information from his target's mind. He can also understand animals with his eye ability, though they cannot necessarily understand him. When using his ability at full strength, he can read people's true feelings and memories, even from past Routes.

Azami

 * Azami could use Stealing Eyes to read the minds and thoughts of animals, humans, and even plants. In the anime, she also used this ability to read a person's memories.

Shuuya Kano

 * Kano's ability can change what people around him see and show them something different, but he can only use it on himself, meaning he cannot change the appearances of others. To transform into someone or something else, he needs to know as much as about it as possible, including appearance, sound, and even smell. Pain usually nullifies his ability because it is how he is able to identify "himself". He is unable to change his physical characteristics and has so far failed to be able to transform himself into inanimate objects like soumen or Australia. When using his eye ability on a chatroom in Mekakucity Talkers, he can "edit" parts of his messages on the spot.

Azami

 * Azami could use Deceiving Eyes to change her appearance. In the anime, she used this ability to appear as a giant snake.

Azami

 * Azami's ability allows her to turn people who look at her eyes into stone. She can do this to multiple targets at once when using it with Drawing Eyes.

Shion Kozakura

 * Shion's ability also allows her to turn a target into stone. However, using her ability causes much strain to her body and physically weakens her.

Marry Kozakura

 * Marry's ability is not as complete as her mother's or grandmother's power as she is not able to turn people into stone, but instead with it she can temporarily paralyze others when they meet her gaze. When using this ability alongside a strengthened Combining Eyes, Marry is able to fully petrify her target, just like Azami. In Mekakucity Talkers, she uses Locking Eyes on the group chatroom, which causes everyone's messages to send as they temporarily petrify in real life.

Marry Kozakura

 * Marry also has the ability to combine the powers of the other snakes, allowing her to absorb them when their owner dies or at her own will. Her ability allows her to immediately master all eye abilities a new snake gives her. As its names suggests, Combining Eyes allows her to "combine" and simultaneously use multiple eye abilities. Combining Eyes's world-building abilities grow stronger with the more snakes Marry has in her possession: around five snakes allow her to control the Kagerou Daze, and with more she can rewind the world back to its beginning. A strengthened Combining Eyes also alters her appearance, causing scales to appear on her cheeks and shortening her hair with long, snake-like projections below it. Combining Eyes naturally causes the other snakes and their owners to be drawn towards it.

Azami

 * Azami used this ability to keep her snakes and their abilities under control and at full force. She can also use this ability to control the Kagerou Daze, but if she wants to change its nature she would need at least half of her snakes with her. Unconsciously, the Snake of Combining Eyes was initially used to create the entire world around Azami to create a place where she can fulfill her first wish to understand herself.

Momo Kisaragi

 * Momo's ability can draw people's attention to her regardless of their preferences. Her ability has shown to have a wide radius of several blocks and can draw in large crowds. She can also sense where people's attention is drawn to, whether it be on her or on something else.

Azami

 * Azami can use this ability to such an extent that her targets can lose focus of anything besides her entirely, making them drop anything they might be holding and fall to their knees. She used this ability along with Focusing Eyes to find the "least noticed place in the world" in an attempt to escape from humans for good.

Marry Kozakura

 * Marry gains this ability in the novel and manga routes and can use it to draw someone's attention and make them lose complete focus on their surroundings.

Takane Enomoto

 * Takane's ability allows her to split her consciousness from her body. She cannot manifest her spirit-self "Ene" in the real world ; instead, it becomes a cyber-being that resides in and can possess electronic devices. While using this power, her body loses consciousness. She can use her ability to send chatroom and presumably all digital messages as fast as her own thoughts.

Azami

 * Azami, unable to move her physical form in the Kagerou Daze, used this ability to manifest her spirit-self and stay "alive" there.

Marry Kozakura

 * Marry gained this ability in both Manga Route 2 and the novel route. In the manga route, she uses the ability to project herself over a TV screen. In the novel route, however, she used it to turn into cyber-being like Ene.

Hibiya Amamiya

 * Hibiya gains the Snake of Focusing Eyes in most routes and is able to use the eye ability to perceive objects, locations, and people from any distance, from an aerial view. If he looks at an object, he can see a vision of its owner, but it will not work if that person is in his direct vision. In the Novel Route, he develops Focusing Eyes to work over phone waves. This allows him to connect directly to phones in the Kagerou Daze and speak with the people there. His ability has shown to require a lot of concentration, though this may be because he gains his ability the most recently out of all the Dan members.

Hiyori Asahina

 * In Manga Route 2, Hiyori gains the Snake of Focusing Eyes and can use its abilities to find anything that she focuses her mind on. However, she is unable to find a specific target if they are disguised.

Azami

 * Azami's ability is the same as the other two. However, she only has to use a description of something to find it. For example, she used Focusing Eyes and Drawing Eyes to find "the least noticed place in the world".

Konoha

 * Konoha's ability gives him the power to remake his body into one that his body's true owner, Haruka, finds "ideal". Haruka expected to die young from his hereditary illness, so his ideal body was healthy and supernaturally strong to be able to "make friends" with. However, Haruka rejected the body, which looked like his video game avatar, so the Snake of Awakening Eyes assumed control of his body instead, leaving Haruka trapped in the Daze. In the Novel Route, Konoha is able to heal from a fatal injury with this ability, which appears as multiple black snakes wrapping around his body.

Azami

 * Azami's ability gives her the power to remake her body at will, surrounding her with a mass of black snakes. She can use this ability to heal from several fatal gunshots and presumably other otherwise lethal wounds.

The Snake of Clearing Eyes

 * The Snake of Clearing Eyes can forcefully suppress the Snake of Awakening Eyes when possessing Konoha. It uses Awakening Eyes's appearance-altering abilities to change Konoha's color scheme to a black and a yellow one upon possession. In Manga Route 2, he changes his appearance further to avoid being detected by Focusing Eyes. In both the Novel and Manga Routes, he uses Awakening Eyes to rebuild his body molecule by molecule to gain immunity against Concealing Eyes.

Multiple

 * Due to its sentience, the Snake of Clearing Eyes can directly advise its owner on how to fulfill their biggest desire, such as when it tells Azami how to create the Kagerou Daze so that she can stay there forever with her family. With its human owners, it can take possession of its owner's body at will once the sun starts to set. Clearing Eyes has shown to be extremely manipulative and have a wide degree of knowledge, as when possessing Kenjirou it was able to amass great amount of money and power and even change parts of the city with its influence.
 * To prevent himself from losing sentience and possibly his own existence, the Snake of Clearing Eyes avoids completely fulfilling his owner's biggest desire and instead uses them and their wish for his own plan to rewind the world.

Ayano Tateyama

 * Ayano's eye ability allows her to project her and possibly others' emotions, thoughts, and memories onto others, which she refers to as "the power of caring". In Manga route 2, shes uses this ability to show Hibiya Azami's memories, which she observed in the Daze. In the anime, she transfers Shintaro's memories of past routes to Marry to teach her how to control the Daze.

Azami

 * Azami created the Snake of Favoring Eyes to be able to convey to her newborn daughter Shion just how much she loves her.

Shintaro Kisaragi

 * Shintaro's eye ability allows him to remember everything he sees. Shintaro gains this ability after Manga Route 2's ending, when Ayano has Marry trade her own life, which was substituted by the Snake of Favoring Eyes, to become the Snake of Retaining Eyes. Unlike the other snake owners, he has this ability since before birth in all subsequent Routes. Upon fully activating it, he can remember past Routes that he has experienced. He can seemingly use the ability to subconsciously remember past Routes, and with the ability he can obtain 100's on all his test scores and video game scores.
