Wall Eyes
Template:Location infobox The Wall eyes (壁の目 Kabe no Me) are a strange phenomenon featured in Part VIII: JoJolion. They appeared in Morioh the night after the earthquake shook the town. That night a sudden upheaval occurred, causing these unnatural walls to spring from the ground several hundred meters from the coast and around Morioh.
Description
These walls stand at an average height of 1-3 meters and a width of 5-8 meters; The "eyes" are located on top of these large protuberances, at 15 meters from the ground. The Walls spam across 10 km intervals, isolating Morioh from the outside. They litter the coastline, all facing towards the sea, "as if waiting in silence to protect against some calamity from the ocean," which is ironic due to the situation in which these walls were created.
Since their creation, the walls have prevented highways, waterways, power lines, and gas line from passing through their boundaries. Despite countless research, researchers claim that the strange structures are possibly due to a fault line, but in the end, are lacking any experience on the matter, and are completely baffled as to their origin.
Concerning the nomenclature of the Wall Eyes, the name was originally used by school children, and has since then stuck with the rest of the townspeople. Fanatical News reports tend to focus on the disturbing nature of these faults, offering no explanation to their origin or meaning.
As of now the Wall Eyes have exhibited several peculiarites; the Jojolion Protagonist was found surfacing from one. Additionally, the Wall Eyes seem to induce Stand abilities in those near them. A Wall Eye fault was located at Ojirou Sasame's childhood home, and he later developed Fun, Fun, Fun; as a child, Daiya Higashikata fell into a fault where the Wall Eyes later formed, and though she became progressively blinder, she eventually gained a stand. Josuke Higashikata, Joushuu Higashikata, and Yasuho Hirose have all received strange bite marks on their bodies since being near the Wall Eyes, all three having eventually unlocked their stands.
Along with this, it has been demonstrated that placing two objects in the ground near a wall eye results in the two combining and mixing their disparate parts. This has been demonstrated with fruit and according to Kyou Nijimura, Josuke is a combination of her brother Kira and another person.
Trivia
- Given Part 8's connection to Part 4's setting in Morioh, these walls are likely to be a reference to the Pink Floyd album, he Wall.
