** Shinobu proves to be a great friend when she fights off [[spoiler:Douma]] despite everything looking bleak

** The title of the fanfiction gives it away. Makomo's eyes are described to look like the ocean, and various artworks depict her eyes in stunning shades of blue, with hints of green and gold.

''I See the Ocean'' by lulu_lisbon is an ongoing self-insert fanfiction for Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba involving a woman from our world reborn into the body of the character Makomo. The story starts when the self-insert as Makomo is nine years old, when she apprentices under the former Water Pillar Urokodaki.

** In the series' source material, several demon slayers have enhanced senses. In ''I See the Ocean,'' [[spoiler:Makomo has enhanced eyesight.]] In chapter 10, it is mentioned that she can [[spoiler:see people's lips moving clearly enough to read their words from eight kilometres away.]] Chapter 6 heavily implies that she uses her synesthesia to her advantage.

** The surgeons do not attempt to listen to Makomo's concerns and they shove a rope back into her mouth during the surgery.

** A demon eats Makomo's parents, and it is described vividly, with various metaphors and disgusting eating sounds added to the writing for literary dramatic effect.

*** Notably in chapter 10, when Makomo describes Senjuro as [[spoiler:the kind of child that people dream of violating]].

The fanfiction starts off strong with intensely intricate gore scenes, author-verified "gratuitous use of colour theory" and "art metaphors," and a first-person perspective from the self-insert, who has synesthesia and describes her world in a way that is rare to see in written works. The author foreshadows and adds red herrings starting from the first chapter to build up to huge events of shock value, and is not afraid to drastically change the typical self-insert formula to create a story.

** Kyojuro protects and soothes Senjuro when he's scared of ghosts, instead of finding their dad.

** Makomo [[spoiler:loses an arm]] and thus loses the ability [[spoiler:to fight with the arm, despite it being reattached]]. This deviates from common self-insert tropes, as most of them do not mess with a standard self-insert formula.
