The "item 19" that you're referring to actually existed as a support item in a previous Bomberman game BOJ, it allowed you to see what grids everyones bombs would explode on as soon as the bombs were placed.

The item was designed with online multiplayer in mind, since in a local multiplayer setting this would allow everyone to see the explosion distance instead of only the person that obtained the item, though it could also work well as a configurable option.

The official name for it translated roughly to "See Bomb Blast". Though the original beta voice for it referred to it as "Line Eye", which would make for a better English localized name.

An unreleased version of the item translated roughly to "See Bomb Blast Well", while the beta voice called it "Full Line Eye". I assume that this upgraded version would of either added an explosion countdown timer to the bombs or explosion distance grids, or added a warning such as lighting up the grids 0.5-1.0 seconds before the explosion.
