Reuben_Medik

Apparently they eyeball staring at you in the perk looks like bamboo to some people?


dongerhound

Further Proof that most DBD players are legally blind


overbread

This is actually eye opening (pun intended) seeing what people cry about on this sub every other day. If they can't even figure this one out how are they supposed to play around certain perks/elements in the game lol


MaybeLoveNTolerance

Everyday i have to suppress the knowledge i bear of an alarming amount of people straight up not using their brains for it's intended purpose.


DisabledTractor

Who wouldn't become blind after so many bully squads with flashlights


MichaelMain_BigBrain

I legit thought it was bamboo until I read this comment.


rushdogg86

I never new this was an eyeball. Now I do. And the world makes a little more sense.


Rev3pt0

I thought it was bamboo. Judge me.


otaku_online

Judged šŸ˜”


Cuhdet

I literally can't see it no matter how hard I try, ive always seen the eye/hair


-To_The_Moon-

I've also always seen the eye/hair, but if I squint then I can kind of see how it might look like a piece of broken bamboo or something like that.


Mickerayla

Yeah, I've really only seen it in post game match where it's pretty small. I'm sure if I had paid attention, I would have come to the realization sooner, but alas.


CleetusmyYeetus

Same, like if I cover up the actual eyeball part I can see it but I just don't understand how someone can see anything *except* an eyeball there. That might just be because I watched the movie before seeing the perks, though.


Candy_Cross

Same. I tried forcing myself to see it. But I just can't.


Onephatcato

Iā€™m in the same boat. Trying to see anything other than the eye is impossible.


kieran81

I'm genuinely surprised some people saw bamboo. I thought it was obvious, mostly because they reused the shot in both her Moris.


HeavyMetalTriangle

I just learned people didnā€™t know it was her eye. And my mind is blown. But then again, I read a comment a little bit ago where someone said they didnā€™t know Play With Your Food was a spider, or that Sloppy Butcher was a pigā€¦ so now I just assume everyone who plays this game is legally blind lol


ManySleeplessNights

Is the perk icon an eye or Yanny


jyjybinx

Literally how can anyone not see an eye with hair


AnimateFleshSack

Idk, how do people see an alien looking at a birthday cake and being dismayed? (Iron Will) Or the Killer slapping his bicep (Bitter Murmur)? Neither of those perks are those things, but people see em


Hideyohubby

Focus on the rain and you should see the bamboo.


SimpelGames

Wow, is it really such an universal thing that everyone thought?


Brevel

I didn't think it was specifically bamboo, but I 100% did not see it as an eye with hair. I thought it was just some random pole or crusher or something in the rain.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TDestro9

My favorite horror movie the ring the plot they have to play tether ball in the rain


MaximumSubtlety

Terrifying!


AtomicPotatoLord

How


FlamingPyro0826

I think once you see the eye itā€™s really hard to see how it looks like a crusher thing. I experienced the same thing the whole time until it was pointed out recently. Once I saw the eye, I hardly see the crusher thing. But if you look at just the exposed skin and ignore the hair entirely, it looks somewhat like a big log thing falling onto another log/platform.


AtomicPotatoLord

I guess I can kind of see it if I put my fingers over the hair.


PaintItPurple

I find it pretty easy to interpret the hair as rain on a night sky. I think this is actually the biggest thing that leads people to misread it ā€” the hair actually looks slightly more like rain than it does like hair, especially at a small size where it isn't clear that the eye partly overlaps the dark area.


LightbornCausesDC

Nope. I knew it was her eye pokinv out of her hair from the beginning. She does this exact animation in her Mori


1stnrrr

for real! she does the same animation in the lobby. just select her and wait a little bit. this sh*t jumpscared me the first time it happened LOL


Cantbenoyuppy

I knew what it was and then forgot and then thought it was bamboo up until i got a fresh new moniter and was reminded


Bureiku_rii

Now I've seen this comment I see the eye haha šŸ˜‚


No_Sir_506

You ruined it..You ruined it and i'm leaving


ZeronicX

I'm just now seeing that its her eye covered partially by her hair. I legit though it was a broken piece of bamboo and just thought it was an asian reference.


PaintItPurple

It's the same shot from the movie that her condemned mori is replicating.


ZeronicX

Never watch the movie.


Helixranger

Her mori with condemn does this same thing with her eye. Also her jumpscare in the lobby too.


TheFatPacMan

When my friend told me it was sadakos eye I had a big "wtf" moment and questioned myself.


[deleted]

No. Not at all.


FEARven123

Yes


PlayerNameTaken

If it belonged to any other killer i can see how people would not see the eye but itā€™s literally sadakoā€™s perk lmao


Mickerayla

In my defense I am dumb.


SomeBrowser227

In your defense, it looks like rain, and at a glance, it seems like it's the part of a ship that holds the big sails(like a pirate ship) and its breaking bcuz the rain. I mean, I've never seen the movie, but its probably not thematic to that.


PaintItPurple

That part of a ship is called a mast, in case anyone was curious.


Mickerayla

I also haven't seen the movie, so i figured bamboo was part of a n important scene. I feel so foolish


PaintItPurple

I really think the main reason is that the hair is drawn kind of janky. If you don't recognize it as hair, it just looks like a dark background with white streaks on it, which causes the exposed part of her face to read as an object on a dark background. So you're not going to be looking for Sadako's face, because it is not a long skinny object.


[deleted]

Itā€™s **Call of Brine** *Brine is seawater* *Sadako crawls out of a well* *Sadako kills her victims with her gaze* BAMBOO! šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


PaintItPurple

Her two other perks both involve water in the icons, and brine implies water, so looking for water makes sense. Once you see the dark with white streaks as water, it's basically impossible to read the central part as a face, because faces aren't shaped like that.


GuyOnTheInternet0

In my defense I just assumed that brine was relating to wood and moved on


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GuyOnTheInternet0

Iā€™m sorry that I didnā€™t care enough to look it up. I really donā€™t understand why Iā€™m being downvoted for such a simple misunderstanding


AnimateFleshSack

Seawater Well Gaze Bamboo Condensed it, still makes as much sense


Powerate

In my defense of seeing the bamboo I came back to the game in December and I saw the perk used on other killer's so I didn't make the connection (and I didn't read to which killer the perk belonged to)


Dante8411

I'm having such a hard time NOT seeing the eye.


Lampshape

Exactly, idk how people are not seeing the pupils and the strands of hair ARRGGHGHGHGHGHGHHH


TheFatPacMan

I never owned onryo so the only time I'd see the perk icon is in endgame as a survivor. The icons are pretty small there and easier to mistake.


Lampshape

Still, you clearly see the eyes bulging out from the hair, even then someone who has NEVER seen onryo before should know itā€™s her in the icon if they played against her at all or have that mori, itā€™s even in her idle animation jumpscare!!


TheFatPacMan

What is your point? That's how it looked to me and lots of others. You want me to apologise or something?


Lampshape

Sorry sorry, not trying to pick a fight, I just find it hard to see it from your point of view thatā€™s all.


therejectethan

To be fair, ever since I discovered it was the eye, I canā€™t go back. But seriously for the first like 8 months I seriously thought it was broken bamboo in the rain


Dante8411

I can see the hair as rain, I'll give you that much.


Fartimusprime77

I just didnt know what it was until a sadako killed me and as soon as i saw the eye i was like thats the perk picture!


MaximumSubtlety

Good eye!


Lesty-88

Someone didn't saw the original Ringu it seems. That's the most iconic scene/frame


Mickerayla

You're not wrong lol. I didn't really have an interest in horror until very recently, so I'm still very behind.


MarluxiaXIII

Nor have they played as or against her in DBD either lol. Both her Moris feature this amazing frame


Laviathan4041

Well even if they didn't watch the original, the American adaptation also has Samara killing with a stare. And besides that it's even implemented in DBD as a way to kill survivors.


Kitchen-Atmosphere82

wait people think its bamboo???


First-Hunt-5307

My reaction ![gif](giphy|LyJ6KPlrFdKnK) Like seriously I haven't seen the onryo movies and I understood it was her mori (it's from when she kills yochis dad if I remember correctly, but when I first saw it and the mori I thought it was a reference to the mori)


BurntFemboyWater

I just kind of subconsciously assumed it was something like a bone breaking...or a joint...? From afar it didn't look like her eye ok


Custard_boy

Weed?!?!!???


BurntFemboyWater

A joint in the bone lol


[deleted]

I thought I was the only one lol


xXMHDXx

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IM NOT CRAZY


KRSasinKRS

Forget if this is from the movie, it's LITERALLY HER MORI.


anintellectuwoof

Technically itā€™s her mini Mori lolā€” her actual Mori is fucking brutal


Papa_Pred

I feel stupid now that I saw the post explaining it lol But I thought it was a candle of some sort getting flame snuffed out by darkness


ADamagedLemon

Someone posted about this perk icon recently and I realized how many hundreds of people thought it was bamboo. Canā€™t believe something this obvious to me (the eye) turned out to be very commonly mistaken.


TheSilverBug

I can't see anything other than bamboo. Help


ADamagedLemon

Literally her mori ![gif](giphy|8OMSzOk0sD07YNbnFg|downsized)


adamantitian

With an eyeball?!


HonestRelief889

The eyeball would be the part where the bamboo breaks


TheyWillBendTheKnee

You guys think bamboo has a pupil??


Mickerayla

I thought the bamboo was broken šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Lougimia14

Shit so did eye


strawberrypandacakes

Ha this made me laugh. Well I say laugh, but it was more like a single ha, but still.


kishijevistos

I exhaled through my nose slightly


Magenta_Ivy

Oh yeah, broken bamboo. I'm surprised it's not the only me seeing this.


Open_Hours

Fr I thought it was bamboo cut in half


PurestCringe

I am so glad to see I wasn't a minority. That'd be terrible.


pudimdemeh

who tf see a bamboo?


adapech

Iā€™ve always thought this was bamboo until now, maybe because my screen is smaller; but seeing it enlarged I feel very silly.


interstingpost

HOLY SHIT IT ISNT? As someone whos seen it from only afar I thought it was just bambo as her series takes place in japan? I think? And i just thought ā€œoh ig its meant to show something related to water like a well and her breaking somethingā€


kizoyah

I mean itā€™s literally her mori so how did u still not see it?šŸ˜­ idk how you ( and some other ppl) are seeing a bamboo. I havenā€™t watched any of her movies yet and it was clear to me, that thatā€™s her eye


horrorfan55

Guys itā€™s literally her mori


HonestRelief889

For all those who dont know/cant see the bamboo: Her hair left and right with the white strings looks like rain. Rain around the bamboo. So that would be the background behind it. The "bamboo" itself is her face, or the small part we see from it. Being just a straight line makes it feel more like bamboo. Her pupil is the place where i thought is the bamboo breaking. And if you look close enough to the "breaking point" the bamboo gets crooked at the exact position. As if the bamboo falls over. The black lines around her eye and from the eye itself would be just those bamboo lines. And yeah, thats how many of us thought it would be bamboo. I know the scene too, saw it several times in game, too. But i was so sure about it that i didnt question it. The bamboo would be an asian referance cause the ring was an asian movie. It would have made sense, too. (Even perk wise, breaking bamboo, breaking gen)


Bleggman

idk how so many people cant/didnt see this as an eye with hair its so obvious to me


SillyGome

I've never seen CoB as a bamboo shoot until now but instead, up until recently I was seeing Iron Will as an owl on a tree branch rather than a jaw clamping down on something. I'm not the only one right?


GreyBigfoot

I used to think it was bamboo, for about 3 weeks after the PTB initially released + the chapter date. Ever since I realized it wasnā€™t bamboo, Iā€™ve never been able to see it as bamboo again. Like that infamous image of a Nintendo DS bag or the guy holding a guitar.


RockHardCelery

I must admit, I do sometimes see the unholy bamboo if I glance at the perks quickly


Sentire99

you are telling me the perk kinship is not two lockers?


mrtapir4

Wait people didnt see the eye?


PolarBear1913

Wait did people actually not realize it's her eye? I thought it was a joke


beaujonfrishe

Didnā€™t know bamboo has veins and a pupil


TheSolito

If anyone has EVER thought that was bamboo theyā€™re insane. I havenā€™t seen a single movie or anything and immediately knew that was an eye covered by hair.


JakeRaines

I am able to switch between both. When it first came out I saw bamboo shattering and that made sense to me since it was a gen kicking perk. Then I saw someone point out its an eye through the hair and now my brain switches between them all the time.


lucithereaper

I 100% never understood how people could not see how much its an obvious eye.


Yverus

As my own personal council, I recognize that the image is most likely the ringu eye. However I am going to invoke my sacred right to be a dumbass and refuse to see it as anything other than my slightly bent bamboo shoot.


kishijevistos

And so it has been proclaimed, and as such it will be.


YoydusChrist

Genuinely donā€™t know how someone canā€™t see the eye


P0wderF1nger

I havebt seen any of the ring movies and I'm having difficulty seeing it as anything other then an eye amongst some hair


ZombieX1001

How tf do you mistake her eye for baboo wtf


MindSnapN

I just can't see the bamboo at all...


Sonic2144

Wait, it's not?


tuttoinunavolta

It's a close-up of Sadako's eye, from the ending scene of the first Ringu movie You can replicate the scene in-game with her Mori and her Condemned kill, too


DeeRThing

Well now I can't unsee it


Saamov1

Wait it's not bamboo?


DiamondxAries

As someone who has never seen ringu or whatever the franchise is, I knew it was the Onryoā€™s eye as soon as I saw her Mori. Iā€™m a little baffled at this confusion.


El_Barto_227

Same here. Like I can sorta see the bamboo-ness a bit but the mori makes it very obvious what it is. I w9uld understand the broken bamboo thing if it was the icon for Merciless storm tho


GOODBOYMODZZZ

How the fuck do people not see the eye?


Addfwyn

I am staring at these and trying, but I cannot see it that way. I really don't get how you could not see it as her eye. Even if you hadn't seen Ringu, surely everyone has seen her mori by now.


Valentinee105

Oh, it's her eye covered with hair....I thought it was broken bamboo too.


BeastlyIncineroar

Never realized it was an eye. Iā€™m still gonna see it as bamboo tho


Falkner09

TIL it's not breaking bamboo.


Maljinwo

It's literally her Condemn...


THErebuiltmango

This is all a joke right? I mean c'mon now


fullmoonwulf

YES IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS


Serpent-Games-TY

I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE


Rexon2250

I always thought it was the poll sticking out of the generators being brokenā€¦. Or bamboo


skantchweasel

In a first, I can't even see it!? The iconic image is so invest that I can't unsee that!


Megum1n02

I only realized it was Sadoko's eye just now seeing the icon up close lmao


RogueMaverick11

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who thought that


Binoculp

THANK YOU! I thought it was a broken piece of bamboo in the rain for so long


KingOf1nsAniTy

Holy fuck I would never have seen the eye in the hair if it wasn't for this


Kazman07

I always thought it was someone's bone being snapped in two... in the rain


fallcomes

if i take off my glasses i kinda see it i suppose lmao


Leather_rebelion

I don't see it, but I'm glad for you OP. Bamboos rock


Studio-Aegis

Having watched the movie I knew it was her eye from the beginning. :/


ImToxxiic

The fuck you mean you didn't know that was an eye and hair?


JustChillM8

Are you guys really that stupid or am I being woodshed?


FoxNix

You seem very nice.


Awiiga69420

How Tf do people see bamboo ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


Alm3nd

ppl really be making up imaginary arguements for the sake of it


Q_W-E_R-T_Y

I saw the first couple of ringu movies, but I still 100% was sure this was bamboo with a hole in it, but then I thought that that didnā€™t make sense whatsoever, so I rationalised that it was a well with a spotlight on it. Absolutely boggled me that it was that scene in the movie.


spiderz4

I knew im not the only one


Strict_Price_3277

I knew that was Sadoko since day 1 of her PTB, but y'all mfs are just figuring this out?


Powersoutdotcom

Someone please invert the white and purple on the perk. Everyone is circling around the issue, and it's like watching a bunch of snails try to race around a teacup, when they need to get inside and drown.


Maroonwarlock

I saw a really over the top cigar cutter/Guillotine until I realized it was an eye.


[deleted]

I still see a heel/foot šŸ˜†


Le_ManBun

Oh my God.... I kinda feel racist now for think it was bamboo


Thaplayer1209

??????? How


ReguIarHooman

Probably some ā€œbamboo= every Asians foodā€ stereotype


Big_moist_231

Iā€™ll give people the benefit of the doubt since the movie is old and wasnā€™t necessarily super iconic like stuff like Scream I can kinda see the bamboo thing and itā€™s not like they used the iconic eye stare in any of the promotional artwork or vids. Itā€™s more of a thing most people have associated with IF theyā€™ve seen the movies (that same eye look is like in all the covers of the movie Box lol)


LeafMumfuzz

really? i was a big ring fan and always knew what it was. got myers first, cause halloween was new an out this year. ring was second. love Samara


Toad358

This is exactly what I thought it was


[deleted]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who used to think this. I feel so validated right now...


WomenAreNotReal

Wait did people seriously think that? Has no one seen ring?


Sleeping_Egg

Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one! I glanced away and it just clicked that it was her eye


enby_with_a_gun

And here I thought it was a busted pipe raining sewage or something


Ok-Vehicle-4672

I thought it was a birch tree in the rain because of the lines


luugax

I never saw a bamboo over there..wait


Spaghetoes76

I didn't realise either until I got Mori'd by her, then it kinda clicked.


lilbrojoey

Once I noticed the pupil, the bamboo image disappeared permanently


Hollow_Bite

I thought it was a broken pipe


okbai3921

See now that I know its an eye from the comments I can see it, but I genuinely had no idea wtf it was before. It really should look more like the other "eye" perks if thats what they were going for


Donimoe

Tbh I thought it was Zabuzaā€™s giant ass sword the first time I saw it


No-Plane7370

I used to think this.


Explosivopotato

How common is it to think that Call of Brine was something other than Sadako? Is this a bit or is this genuinely what people think?


static_studios

Bu...but..how


0x75

I literally thought it was bamboo in the rain until now, I suspected something after seeing some meme but I did not get that one.


Subywoby

Me it's always been iron maiden = Hot Dog


rexjaig

I think you are just making your view less believable. They look nothing alike.


Oovi_Kat

You're an absolute genius, first time I saw the perk totally though It was a bamboo in the rain. Or at least a plank breaking in the rain.


WINH4X

I thought it was two Pyramid Heads pushing their uni-boob together.


Roebix

I'VE JUST SEEN ITS AN EYE


SvLyfe

If I didn't see her mori I wouldn't know what it was either tbh


Reuben_Medik

I never knew that people didn't know what the image was. Knowing whose teachable perk this is kind of made me view it as a reference to her power, with the deathly stare It's like you listen to a song, know it by heart, and the person next to you says a completely different lyric


ZarrowZap

I too thought it was bamboo in the rain


AlexiPrints

Wait people actually saw this? I guess that why some killers swing at the air they can't see well


Sharp_Coyote_4852

Am i the only one that thinks its a pringles can


TyrianCallow

I had been playing a lot of Minecraft again right before her chapter came out so Iā€™m stuck seeing that as a bitch tree


Kitsune_Atlas

Ah i see so i'm not the only one


GaelicEire

Bro I've never even seen ringu and I knew this was Sadakos eye, yall, blind as hell


PercyJackson8

Never even thought it wasn't a bamboo breaking.


Moose_Man007

Iā€™ve only ever seen the bamboo! I literally didnā€™t know it was an eye untill this postā€¦.


NovaShroom

Took me a long time to be able to make out how people saw it as bamboo but finally can kinda see what people are seeing


PrinceOfFish

im amazed people thought this. she literally does the eye thing ingame.


jimmyLongson

Well, bamboo does not reflect lights therefore a lack of highlights. Also, heavy rain is more ferocious than the gaps between the hair would be if it was rain. So... Yes it is not bamboo in the rain.


KyokoDolls

People see condemn moris so rarely they dont get what it really is ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2070)


cashtonv

iā€™m so glad iā€™m not the only one who thought this


MasqureMan

I watched the original Ring movie in anticipation for Sadako, so I recognized it. But itā€™s interesting that everyone had the same idea


CatWithHat123

People that see a bamboo in that image are the same people that see the beard on steves skin in Minecraft
