Information


Concealing Eyes (目を隠す Me wo Kakusu)[1][2] is the eye ability derived from the Snake of Concealing Eyes (目を隠す蛇 Me wo Kakusu Hebi). The snake's powers are based off of Azami's survival instincts while being persecuted by humans, primarily her desire to hide from them.

The ability is currently used by Tsubomi Kido.

Eye Ability[]

Tsubomi Kido[]

Kido can use Concealing Eyes to divert attention away from herself, people, and objects within two meters of herself at standard usage, making it seem as if they are invisible and unable to be heard.[3][1][2][4] Physical contact, however, can break the effect.[1][5][6] Furthermore, it is weak against people who are familiar with the person(s) and/or objects that are being concealed, such as Shintaro to his sister, Momo,[1][4] or the Snake of Clearing Eyes to the Mekakushi Dan.[7] When she was younger, she had trouble controlling her ability, and parts of herself would "disappear" when she got upset, particularly when she felt intense sadness.[8][9][10][11] Kido feared that she would ultimately disappear and be lost forever.[3][12][13] She has since practised to control her ability and can even use it to suppress Momo's Drawing Eyes.[3][1][4]
Kido can vary the intensity and preciseness with which she hides herself or others; for example, she can conceal herself even from others already being hidden by her ability[14] and can hide herself completely while only partially suppressing Momo's ability.[1][15] When using her ability at full strength, she can apply it to outside of a two-meter radius, especially when the objects are interconnected, like a building.[16] Kido's ability also allows her to conceal her own memories, though she does this only with Azami's guidance in the Kagerou Daze[8] and she forgot about this specific power.[17] Concealing Eyes can also affect virtual objects, such as Takane's crosshairs and/or the pig enemies in the Headphone Actor game.[18][19][20] When using her eye ability on a chatroom in Mekakucity Talkers, she can make parts of her messages appear deleted on the spot.[21]

Azami[]

Azami could use Concealing Eyes to not only fade herself and others out of notice[22] but also "conceal" someone's senses from themselves. She could do this to such an extent that her target could no longer be capable of recognizing sound, light or even their own heartbeat.[23] In the Novel Route, Kano speculates that, when used alongside a strengthened Combining Eyes, Concealing Eyes could make it impossible for all of humanity to recognize anything in the world.[23] Also in this Route, it is shown that this was the first eye ability to be taken from Azami after she relinquished Combining Eyes.[8]

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 and Azami's memories. She, just like Kido and her grandmother, uses it to conceal herself and others,[24][25] which she could do even in an unconscious manner.[26] In Manga Route 2, she uses it to conceal her target's senses from everything but herself, making them perceive the world around them as a white void.[27] Later, she uses it to hide a herd of animals, who were preparing to create a landslide to crush the Snake of Clearing Eyes with. The range of her Concealing Eyes in this scene is far larger than Kido's usual two meters.[28]

Notes[]

  • There are several instances of inconsistent translation of the eye ability names across the official English translations of Kagerou Project media. Concealing Eyes is called both that and 'Hiding Eyes' in the eighth novel.[23][29]
