Item

The plain white underwear the Evil Eye wore while possessing Jiji. After striking a deal to battle only Okarun, the yokai cast the briefs off and gave them to Manjiro, since the garment, it claimed, refused to obey its wearer.

Overview

These are the undergarments the Evil Eye sported during its possession of Jiji. Once the yokai accepted Okarun's terms to fight him and nobody else, it threw the briefs away and turned them over to Manjiro for keeping as a cursed item, explaining that the garment would not bend to its owner's will.

Function

By the Evil Eye's own account the briefs are sentient, sharing its hunger to slay every human it meets, and they balked at its plan to make Okarun a sole sparring partner. Manjiro adds, in the Volume 13 bonus pages, that without this underwear, where the grudges of the dead pile up, the Evil Eye can conjure neither its cursed house nor its grudge ball.

Notable Users

During the Evil Eye Arc the yokai shed the briefs after taking Okarun's offer to face him as its only Tuesday opponent, since that lone piece of clothing clashed with the bargain. Manjiro received them next and put them on show inside the Tsuchinoko Shrine, where they served as a cursed relic that grew into a heavily visited tourist draw.
