I've also heard that the JP translation for Saeru can also mean "Wide-Open Eyes Snake," which can pertain to his innate ability (not an eye ability) take over his sleeping host's body, hence wide-open eyes.

I'm still not entirely convinced that Saeru can nullify abilities. Also, can you answer me this since I don't have the light novel...

When Konoha saved Shintaro in the LN, he got hurt and was stabbed by a branch. Were Konoha's eyes red when that happened? If he did activate his Awakening Eyes, then unfortuantely, the eye power wasn't enough to protect his body.
