WARNING! |
The Evil Eye's Briefs (邪視のブリーフ Jashi no Burīfu?) are the undergarments that were once worn by the Evil Eye after his possession of Jiji. After agreeing to a deal with Okarun to only fight him and no one else, the briefs were discarded by the Evil Eye and given to Manjiro to put on display at his shrine as a cursed object, with the reason being that they, according to the yokai, refused to comply with its wearer.
Appearance[]
They resemble a typical pair of white briefs.
Overview[]
According to the Evil Eye, the briefs are sentient, in that they share its wearer's desire to kill all humans that he encounters and refused to comply to his desire to form a deal with Okarun in that the Evil Eye would fight him as his only opponent. In the bonus pages of Volume 13, Manjiro states that without the underwear in which the grudges of the dead people are accumulated, the Evil Eye cannot manifest neither the cursed house nor the grudge ball.
History[]
Kintama Hunt Saga[]
Evil Eye Arc[]
The briefs were removed by the Evil Eye following his acceptance of Okarun's proposal to engage him in combat as his exclusive human adversary on Tuesdays, as the solitary garment did not conform to the terms of the agreement. They were then handed over to Manjiro and placed on display at the Tsuchinoko Shrine as an artifact, which would later become a highly visited tourist attraction.

| Strengths and Weaknesses | ||
  The Cursed House being used to trap Momo inside with the Evil Eye, while also preventing Okarun from breaking in from the other side. Acting as a barrier, the Cursed House mainly serves as a defense. The size of the house can be freely manipulated by the Evil Eye to fit other people if he chooses to confine them with him. He can also remotely imprison his enemies inside the Cursed House once he has sent the grudges towards his opponent and can phase through the house to enter. By his own accord, the Cursed House is said to be both impenetrable and inescapable due to the grudges "rejecting" everything around, as shown when it repelled and burned Seiko's hand after she attempted to break through the barrier with a talisman and Okarun trying to break free in his Turbo-Granny form. While the Cursed House is very resilient, it has been proven that devastating sheer force is capable of destroying it, as Okarun was capable of launching the Evil Eye out of it after building up enough power for a final attack in his Turbo-Granny form. This also implies that only strength equal to that of a yokai's, or the Evil Eye's, is capable of breaking through the barrier. When confining both himself and his opponent to attack them up close, the Evil Eye is liable to have the tables turn on him if his opponent sees his attacks coming and find an opening to strike back. | ||
| Usage | ||
|
The Evil Eye uses his Cursed House for two purposes: to shield himself from outside forces or to imprison his enemies. In addition to the latter, the Evil Eye can face his opponent up close inside the house and be given the liberty to viciously attack them while they are prevented from effectively dodging due to the limited amount of space they are allowed to move in. If finding himself somehow prevented from reaching his target inside, the Evil Eye can further shrink the size of the house to correct this, as he did with Momo after she used her psychic powers to push him away from her. | ||
| Grudge Ball | ||
 |
| |
| Strengths and Weaknesses | ||
  The Evil Eye inflicting multiple damage to the Tsuchinoko. The main strength of the grudge ball is that it will ricochet off a solid surface and redirect back to the Evil Eye's intended target after striking them, or if the enemy manages to dodge the hit, to land another strike. This cycle is shown to effectively barrage the enemy, as the grudge ball will continue to lock on to the target like a homing missile and assault them from all directions without losing its momentum until the Evil Eye calls back for it. This also makes it difficult for enemies to fight the Evil Eye in close combat. When not in use, the ball is shown to float beside the Evil Eye to remain on standby. Whether these actions are due to the Evil Eye's control or the ball having a mind of its own is unclear. The Evil Eye is also telepathically linked to the ball with his thrid eye, allowing him to control its trajectory. He is also shown capable of sending out multiple grudge balls by striking the initial ball with a single punch. With more than one grudge ball bouncing around the area, this attack makes it even more difficult for the Evil Eye's opponent to defend against or avoid while they are forced to face off against the yokai up close. So far, the only known ways to counter the Evil Eye's grudge ball is if an opponent manages to stop its pre-launch with strength comparable or greater to the Evil Eye's or if they were to have great speed and reflexes to continuously dodge it while in flight. | ||
| Usage | ||
  The Evil Eye fighting in conjunction with his grudge ball. The Evil Eye uses the grudge ball for offensive purposes. While engaging in close quarters combat, the Evil Eye will have his grudge ball actively bounce around as it locks onto his opponent to strike them, effectively causing complications for the enemy as the Evil Eye has them too focused on fighting him to worry about the grudge ball homing in on them. | ||
