After this, he and Ene come to join the Mekakushi Dan. ~!Shintaro's eye ability, given to him by Marry after promising long ago to "never forget this Tragedy", allows him to remember everything he sees. Unlike others, he does not visit the Kagerou Daze each Route to gain this ability and instead has it since before birth. When his ability is fully activated, he can remember events of past Routes and directly speak with the Snake of Retaining Eyes.
