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 the snake's Eye Ability. Generally, those with eye abilities 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 can become similar to those of a snake. In the manga, the abilities are illustrated by a gradient screentone over their users' eyes to counter the monochrome color palette.

Notes

• The names of the certain abilities have been inconsistent throughout the series' medias.
  • In Outer Science, there is a line which is written as gattaisaseru (合体させる), but sung and noted as a parenthetical in the lyrics as awaseru (あわせる). These kanji match the way Combining Eyes is usually written in the manga and novels, 合体せる, which is likewise indicated with furigana to be pronounced as awaseru.
  • Both Opening and Awakening are spelled samasu (覚ます and 醒ます) on the official website and sameru (覚める and 醒める) in the manga, but in the last novel, they are referred to as sameru and samasu respectively. Current Japanese name spellings listed are based off the last novel volume.
• 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.
  • Combining Eyes is called 'Locking Eyes' in volumes 8 and 9 of the manga and the eighth novel. It is also called 'Commanding Eyes' in volume 13 of the manga.
  • Drawing Eyes is called 'Captivating Eyes' in the fourth and seventh novels.
  • Opening Eyes is called 'Stirring Eyes' in the fourth novel and 'Awakening Eyes' in volumes 12 and 13 of the manga. The seventh novel has it referred to as both 'Opening' and 'Awakening'.
  • Awakening Eyes is called 'Shaping Eyes' in volume 13 of the manga and 'Focusing Eyes' in the seventh novel.
  • Favoring Eyes is called 'Projecting Eyes' in the seventh novel.
  • Retaining Eyes is called 'Imprinting Eyes' in volume 13 of the manga.
