Abilities
The Retro BluFocals comes with Intensify Action as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 3, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Headgear. As a 2-star item, the Retro BluFocals comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. The star level may be increased with Super Sea Snails for 1 (first), 1 (second), 5 (third), 10 (fourth), or 20 (fifth) Super Sea Snails per star, or by purchasing additional copies of it from Naut Couture for 10,000 (first), 30,000 (second), 50,000 (third), 100,000 (fourth), or 200,000 (fifth) Cash per star. Increasing the star level beyond 2 stars will increase the gear experience gained by a cumulative 3.333…% up to 10% additional experience at 5-star level. Since it is made by the Emberz gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Intensify Action and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slots.

Trivia
- The Retro BluFocals' primary ability (Intensify Action) matches the favored ability of its brand (Emberz). This is likely a developer oversight; the series as a rule avoids these combinations to make achieving maximum AP more difficult.
- The only other pieces of gear to have this distinction are the Shivery Squidkid III and Triple-Deck Specs from Splatoon 3, as well as six items unintentionally sold on SplatNet 2 with matching abilities.
- In the official music video of Big Betrayal, a photo of Big Man assuming his "Ian BGM" identity, wearing a King Flip Mesh and Retro BluFocals, is seen in Frye's hand.
