Five years ago, Kakeru Satsuki's [[Dead Little Sister|older sister committed suicide]]. Since then, his right eye has become [[Eyes of Gold|a shade of gold]], and he wears an [[Eyepatch of Power|eyepatch]] to cover it. The only person he's friends with is his childhood friend Yuka and classmates Kaori and Tadashi. But inside, he has no interest in anything. While walking home with Yuka one day, the world suddenly changes. The [[Red Sky, Take Warning|sky becomes red]], the [[Weird Moon|moon becomes black]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s called Laruva roam the street. This is just the beginning of what is about to unfold.
 
A unique feature of the game is the Cross Vision mode, which allows the player to see events that have already happened from a different character's perspective. This is necessary, since Kakeru's narrative alone can't capture the whole story.
Line 12:
The game is a indirect sequel to ''3days'', an earlier novel. Several characters between the games are related.
 
An anime adaptation, covering ''Sin, damnation and the atonement girl'''s story, aired in the fall of 2009 and is [https://web.archive.org/web/20130717071106/http://theanimenetwork.com/Anime/11-Eyes/Watch now playing] on the [[Anime Network]].

=== Tropes in ''11eyes'' include: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Yukiko, Kusakabe, Kukuri
* [[All the Myriad Ways]]
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
*** Averted in the VN; she's a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] but still has everyone's best interests at heart.
* [[Club President]]: Yukiko creates the Modern Society Studies Club and ends up roping every one of the chosen ones into it.
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Everyone, to a degree, though Misuzu's mother is still alive and Yuka is living with a nice adopted mother and father. Takahisa is a [[Self -Made Orphan]]. Life was not kind to the six chosen ones.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Misuzu is descended from Ryuuichi Kusukabe, a character who first appeared in ''3days''. Yukiko makes a reference to Tsukiko, her older sister, who also appeared in ''3days''.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Yukiko seems like a ditz most of the time, {{spoiler|until the glasses come off.}}
* [[Crystal Prison]]
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Kakeru and his eye's ability to see future events. It plays a big role in stopping the [[Big Bad]] in episode 12.
* [[Cute Mute]]: Kukuri.
** In a less cute way - Lisette in the introduction, when her throat was torn and she was trying to scream.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Yuka.
** Subverted with {{spoiler|Lisette, who turns out to be [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]].}}
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Pretty much all the female Dark Knights.
* [[Dark Chick]]: Superbia
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|The Black Knights.}}
* [[Dark World]]: The Red Night.
* [[A Day Atat the Bizarro]]: The [[Baker's Dozen]] episode for the anime, which takes the main cast into the ''Pink'' Night, and perverts their powers in various ways.
** Kakeru now has [[X-Ray Vision]] that can see through clothing: regardless of gender.
** When Yukiko removes her glasses, she acts like she's on an aphrodisiac, including [[Les Yay|kissing Yuka]].
** Takahisa now has [[Making a Splash|water powers]]. He can shoot a tiny stream of water from his finger.
** Misuzu summons ''vibrators''.
** The Larva are now [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]]s.
** Kururi can speak, but nobody wants her to. Everything she says is [[Sound Effect Bleep|bleeped]], everything she draws is [[Pixellation|pixellated]].
** The Black Knights are now the Pink Knights, an all-pink [[Sentai]] team (with [[In the Name of Thethe Moon|roll call]]) who die because of ''their own dramatic explosion''.
** Liselotte is now Avaritia's dominatrix.
** Then it becomes a [[Hot Springs Episode]], revealing that Yuka's [[Anti-Magic]] has turned into [[The Nudifier]]. It also [[Gender Bender|turns Kakeru and Takahisa into girls]].
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Older sister, but the effect is much the same.
* [[Death Byby Origin Story]]: Kukuri. {{spoiler|Turns out she's still alive.}}
* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: {{spoiler|The seal on Shiori's body can be removed by these means.}} Misuzu also explains that it's a way to transfer power among the Kusakabe, and Kakeru does have some Kusakabe blood in him.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: In the anime, Yuka becomes increasingly calm as the tension rises.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Episode 11 in the anime, also a case of [[The Bad Guy Wins]]. Averted if you continue onto episode 12.}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Kakeru's sister in the very beginning. {{spoiler|Turns out there are parallel worlds, and in at least two of them, Kakeru's sister, Kukuri, knew about Liselotte's plan, which needed Kakeru's golden eye to succeed. So in one world, she had the spirit of Abraxas, which had a chain whip attack, which she used to kill him, then herself. But that world didn't have the golden eye, and instead the Kakeru in Yuka's universe/world had it, while Abraxas didn't exist in that version of Kukuri. So instead of killing both of them, Kukuri in Yuka's world only killed herself since she lacked the chain-whip attack of Abraxas. Yeah, it's kind of confusing.}}
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Early on in the anime, you can see at least one instance of a pillar of flame lighting up in the background while Kakeru/Yuka are in the Red Night area. Takahisa can also be seen in the school and in the Red Night area, but we're not introduced to him properly until about episode 4.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: {{spoiler|Episode 12 can be viewed as this. Episode 11 can be considered "the bad ending", and is probably what Kakeru saw at the beginning of episode 12 had he done what he did in episode 11, where everyone ends up dying.}}
* [[Eldritch Location]]
* [[Enemy Mine]]: {{spoiler|After learning the truth about Liselotte, the girl trapped in the crystal, the main characters help the surviving Dark Knights to fight Liselotte. They fail in episode 11, but succeed in 12.}}
* [[Epic Flail]]: Kukuri's guardian angel, Abraxas, weilds some wicked maces. Abraxas is also a case of [[Chained Byby Fashion]].
* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Landmark Tower in the real world is replaced by six pillars where the Black Knights reside.
* [[Expy]] - Kakeru Satsuki bears more than a passing semblance to Minato Arisato from [[Persona 3]]. And someone capitalized on the fact that Misuzu resembles Mitsuru, and came up with [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/483699 this.] ('''Warning Danbooru link''')
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: To cover Kakeru's [[Mismatched Eyes]].
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Known specifically as the Eye of Aeon. It allows Kakeru to see the future. The real value of the eye is that it allows the user to assimilate previous users' experience, memories and above all, to see different possibilities of the future and realize the one that the user desires.
* [[Fan Service Withwith a Smile]]: There's the entire ongoing subplot to get everyone who's not Yukiko into the outfits of Cyberiada, the cafe where Kakeru and Yukiko work. It ends up succeeding.
* [[Fan Web Comic]]: Pixiv user Zouazarashi drew fancomics featuring the Black Knights around the time of the game's debut, and is now [[Promoted Fanboy|drawing them for the anime's website]]. The Black Knights act a lot goofier in these than they do normally.
* [[First-Name Basis]]: Yuka worries about this between Kakeru and Misuzu in the anime, noting a change in dynamics between them.
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Avaritia holds Liselotte from behind in episode 12 to ensure that she gets banished to an alternate dimension where she hopefully can't escape. Unfortunately he gets sucked in as well.}}
* [[Hot for Student]]: Saiko-sensei, the school nurse, though she smokes, drinks and is frequently sniffing around for virgins. Kakeru wonders how she became the nurse in the first place.
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]: Misuzu Kusakabe. Five different swords, in fact. {{spoiler|Misao Kusakabe/Superbia has [[Dual-Wielding|the other two]].}}
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Liselotte's motivation for wanting to [[Kill'Em All]].
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: {{spoiler|When Takahisa starts to lose control of himself, he asks Yukiko to kill him.}}
** Lisette {{spoiler|before the final battle, begs for Kakeru to kill her.}}
* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: Yukiko does this a couple of times, has it happen to her as well, and later {{spoiler|a possessed Yuka does it to Kakeru in episode 11.}}
* [[Instant Runes]]: Acedia, Yuka, Misuzu, {{spoiler|Shiori}}
* [["I Know You Are're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Kakeru to Liselotte in her final [[Cross Vision]] view. "Lisette Weltall!" "No, I'm Liselotte Werckmeister--" "Lisette Weltall! Listen to me!"
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In episode 11, after learning Yuka may still be alive, Kakeru vows to find her. Then Misuzu mentions this trope in her mind.
* [[I Will Protect Her]]: Kakeru's motivation for learning how to fight and protect Yuka.
** Interesting, Yuka gender-flips this trope when invoking it on Kakeru later in the anime.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Takahisa acts cold towards most people, but he does save them occasionally in the other world.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Incoming apocalypse be damned, how can someone get away with brutally murdering three of the most sympathetic characters, one of whom was completely innocent. Well, {{spoiler|Misao}} managed to pull it off somehow.
** Despite becoming overly clingy, putting a razor blade in another of the cast's tea and willingly unleashing the [[Big Bad]], {{spoiler|Yuka}} somehow gets out of punishment without one single character calling {{spoiler|her}} out.
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "Kakeru-kun, I've made you lunch and FREAKY MASK BLOBS!!"
* [[Multiple Endings]]: {{spoiler|Interestingly, episode 11 is a "What if" bad ending, and is pretty damn depressing. Episode 12 can be viewed as an "alternate/happy" ending, or maybe at the start of episode 12, Kakeru used his foresight ability to see what would happen in episode 11 if he took the action he did in trying to save Yuka.}}
* [[My Sister Is Off -Limits]]: In Yukiko's after story, Ema's thanking Kakeru for all the help in getting the school festival ready. Takahisa becomes furious.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Kukuri wears one.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|After all but two of the Black Knights are defeated, it turns out they were the ones who were trying to stop the world from ending, not cause it.}}
Line 132 ⟶ 131:
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: The OP ("Lunatic Tears...") has ominous chanting of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. Until it's revealed that these are, in fact, the names of the Black Knights. [[Theme Naming]] runs among them. Ominous Chanting is present in ''CrossOver'''s OP ("Endless Tears...") and the anime's OP ("Arrival of Tears") as well.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Verard. Though he has some help for the second one.
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Is there an answer at the end of the nightmare?"
* [[Oral Fixation Fixation]]: Takahisa always has something in his mouth, be it a cigarette or food.
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]
Line 139 ⟶ 138:
* [[Pinch Me]]: {{spoiler|Episode 11 is what might have happened had Kakeru not been prepared. His vision comes to an end just after the credits, leading to him snapping back into action.}}
* [[Phantom Zone]]: Time comes to a halt during the Red Night, and any property damage that occurs there doesn't transfer back to the real world.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Takahisa
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Black Knights, with Avarita functioning as [[The Dragon]].
* [[Red Sky, Take Warning]]
* [[Ruritania]]: The nation of Drasuvania, which figures into the backstories of Verard and Yukiko.
* [[Say My Name]]: Yuka says Kakeru's name. '''A LOT''', to the point that it's her only dialogue, ''even''.
Line 150 ⟶ 149:
* [[Screw Destiny]]
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: A very prominent motif in the story.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Saeko, the nurse, seems a bit too interested in trying to hook up Kakeru and Yuka, and later gets mad at Takihasa when he didn't come home. Until she thinks that the reason why was because he spent the night with Yukiko, then seems okay with it, much to his dismay.
* [[Shout -Out]] - There is a room full of shout outs in the visual novel. Here's the image [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/253313/11eyes-air_gear-alphonse_elric-artist_request-azum\].
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]
* Sibling Yin-Yang: Takahisa and Ema
Line 161 ⟶ 160:
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Misuzu
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Instead of trying to do the episode 11 plots, Kakeru pretty much stabs himself. It ends up working and he recovers later.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: Invidia plans to kill everyone in Kakeru's gang by exploding herself, but she fails due to {{spoiler|Yuka's power awakening.}}
* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: Verard, a knight with the same kind of [[Mismatched Eyes]] as Kakeru, appears in his dreams every time that the Red Night occurs.
* [[Talking Withwith Signs]]: Kukuri Tachibana.
* [[Tears of Blood]]: Kakeru, usually when weird supernatural stuff starts happening.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Kakeru's ringtone is a midi version of the OP. Yuka's cell has the ED.
Line 170 ⟶ 169:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: {{spoiler|Takahisa after Saiko is killed. He asks for a [[Mercy Kill]] from Yukiko while he's still himself.}}
* [[Weird Moon]]: The moon is black, three times larger than normal, and once Kakeru and Yuka leave the strange otherworld, still visible.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 9. Things are not the same anymore for the main characters after that.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Interesting trope for this series. {{spoiler|Turns out that the main characters are actually "the bad guys", and the Dark Knights are the "good" ones, trying to keep the evil witch from achieving her goal to collect the fragments within the main characters and destroy humanity. However, a lot of it probably could have been avoided, had the Dark Knights not of attacked them and continually tell them "we need to kill you", which justified the main characters in defending themselves and killing the Dark Knights, so this trope applies to both sides if you think about it.}}
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Takahisa's method of fighting is with fire, since that's all he has in the Red Night area.
* [[Whip Sword]]: Invidia. It resembles a human spine.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]?: {{spoiler|Lisette/Liselotte, because of [[Cycle of Revenge|what she went through in the Crusades]], became immortal, [[Love Makes You Evil|fell in love with Verard]], went crazy when he died and then [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|decided to wipe out all of humanity]].}}
* [[White Gloves]]: Misuzu, when she's not using her powers.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Liselotte, or rather, Lisette. After what she's gone through in the Crusade...
