  • Its Chinese name (Hanzi: 遮目; Pinyin: zhē mù) literally means "blindfold(ed)," so does the Japanese name, Mekakushi (Katakana: メカクシ; Kanji: 目隠し).
  • Its English name refers to "someone who does not understand or think through what they are doing."
  • Blindey's appearance may be based on Huijiao (虎蛟), a creature with the body of a fish, the tail of a snake, and the sound of a Mandarin duck,[1] or Wenyaoyu (文鳐鱼), a fish with avian wings that can be used to fly,[2] as described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.[3][4]
