I was so freaked out that I didn't notice the ZR.

Yukito Ayatsuji seems to be a fan of KnK, as Mei's Mystic Doll Eye of Death Perception bears a number of resemblances to Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Mei and Shiki both suffered near-death experiences and returned with the ability to see beyond what normal people can see. The doll eye is not just a placeholder for an otherwise-empty socket, it is actually "mystical" and so grants her the ability to see the color of death in addition to being able to see normally through it. It's not clear if that ability is tied in a physical sense to the doll eye (nor does it matter at this point), for example, if she removed her doll eye and replaced it with another fake eye, does the ability to see the color of death remain within her and work through it or not. In the case of KnK, it's explicitly stated that Shiki's eyes are physically altered from her journey to death's door to give her the ability to see threads of origin, it is not something innate within her.

Hold up. Is it really called "Mystic Doll Eye of Death Perception"? Or is that just a fan coined term? I thought I was original with coming up with it.

It was better for her to keep her mouth shut. I'm more bothered that her mystic glass eye of the death perception exists in the first place. That makes it all way too convenient. I was hoping Kouichi and his merry gang would have to put some effort into figuring out who Another is, just like we have throughout all these weeks. Nevertheless, their upcoming dilemma shall be very interesting. Will have the spine to kill the extra person -who might be one of their close friend- in cold blood? They can rationalize it by telling themselves they're only putting a dead person back into her grave, but the heart doesn't always listen to what the brain as to say.

I think it's convenient but she did use it to look at Kouichi and then said he wasn't dead. It's not like it was added on in the final volume or anything, it's all one giant novel.

By the way, I don't believe anybody has mentioned it yet but based on the way Izumi lamented over his death in her dream (she called him an idiot, as "why did you do that, you idiot!") I think her brother might have been the ignored student who gave up his role half-way through two years ago. It could explain why she was so irritated by Mei, who didn't uphold her role properly just like her brother. Of course, tsunderes like her tend to use the word "baka" often so that may not mean anything

That is a good point. I thought she was doing it because of her feelings towards Kouichi but that is good.
