Kagerou Daze

The Heat Haze (カゲロウデイズ Kagerou Deizu), also known as Kagerou Daze, is a never ending world, created by Azami.

Description

 * The Heat Haze is a never ending world, created by Azami, who originally intended to live in this world with her family, due to the fact that humans age much faster than gorgons and would mean that her husband Tsukihiko, who was a human, would have to die long before her time. However, their home was attacked by the villagers immediately upon creating it, so she came to believe that unhappiness comes when she is involved with humans. She ultimately decided to enter the heat haze alone and live there in eternal solitude.


 * However, as time passed and her daughter Shion, as well as her grand-daughter Marry were murdered by humans, she could not bear to let such a terrible thing go ignored, so she pulled Marry into the heat haze and gave her the "Combining Eyes" snake, the one ability that would serve as Marry's life, which was saved, while Shion lost hers.


 * Azami lost her ability to unite the snakes, so she became unable to undo the order she gave to the Heat Haze: "Bring in the people who died on August 15 (the day of Marry's death)". To enter the heat haze, two living creatures must die together on that date. One of them receives an eye ability and is able to leave the heat haze again, while the other one remains dead.

Trivia

 * The locations where each character is shown for the first time in the anime are the locations of their individual death, excluding Marry.
