Talk:Snake of Clearing Eyes/@comment-24874861-20140827192849

Is the snake's 'eye power' still unkown? From what I've seen in the manga and anime, the Saeru seems to negate Kido and Konoha's eye powers, so that points to him nullifying eye abilities. But someone told me that Konoha got stabbed from a tree branch when saving Shintaro in the LN, but I am not sure if Konoha activated his eye powers to save Shintaro. Can someone confirm if he did activate his eye powers and yet got stabbed?

If that is so, then does that mean the eye power makes the person unable to sleep? I've read somewhere that "Me ga Saeru no Hebi" can be translated as the "Wide-Open Eyes Snake," and the anime shows that the snake takes over Kenjirou's body when he's 'asleep,' and hence the Wide-Open Eyes translation. But can someone confirm if Konoha used his eye power when saving Shintaro in the LN?
