Discussion Zoro's Eye

[Poneglyph420]

His eye is damaged, How we don't know..
Why, again we don't know...

Maybe it was an accident during training or maybe he slipped one day making pancakes... We simply do not know...

Speculation is amusing but unfounded on this topic..

personally I'll just enjoy "the new Zoro"
(Though part of me misses good old no sense of direction Baka Zoro..)

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

For now thre are two posibilities as I see it.
1. His eye is just damaged to some degree. He may just have pain opening it or he may have lost his eye.
2. It's just that he can be so badass that he doesn't need two eyes to fight some level of opponents and in this way he shows his skills and will only open when he'll face some strong opponents.

Though, I think it's a mixture of both of the two possibilities.

P.S. I hope it won't be some magic eye like some people sugested.

Maybe he just tried a way to fight with four swords and it backfired. Who knows...

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I hope he didn't try yontoryu, cause he would have lost his uniqueness.

 

[barbeque]

I know.. just like luffy learned to eat while sleeping now zoro too has learned how to sleep while walking/fighting etc.. Thats why he has one eye closed XD

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

That's a good funny theory. Enjoying fights while sleeping... that's deffinetly fits Zoro.

 

[luffyg2]

Well we dont even know if Mihawk did someting to his eyes or transplanted anything... and frankly i doubt it i just think he has good eyesight...as for zoro i doubt there is anything special with the eye... and if there was it would be lame (too narutoish)

 

[DutchPhoenix]

its most likely something to do with a training, i dont think he lost an eye.
Remember, Mihawk is being called hawk eyes, we dont know yet whats so special about it, but im sure we'll find out eventually, wich would also explain zoro's eye.

My gues he keeps it closed for a reason.

 

[Dice]

...and put there a scar to look more badass?

 

[DutchPhoenix]

shanks has 3 scars.

We only see that its closed, we dont see an eyepatch.
And mihawk nickname is hawkeyes, so im sure we'll see something soon, hopefully in this arc that would explain why he choses to close it.

 

[J1nsan]

Oda wouldn't make such aesthetic changes to each character without reason so I'm excited to see what Zoro's closed eye represents or what it's used for. I think the way Zoro doesn't have an eye patch and the way his closed eye is drawn might mean it still can function in some way shape or form unless there is going to be back story as to what exactly happened.

 

[forthewin89]

what if mihawk wanted a sacrifice from zoro to see how serious he was?
zoro could have given up his eye willingly for the sake of his crew in order to prove that he was for real, and so that mihawk never challenges his resolve again.

 

[Ninja_Pirate]

I guess, it is the same island once danzo has visited and gave him a sharinghan .. since zoro will not look good in kakashi getup so he just left the eye like that.. in extreme fights we will see the almighty zoro with his new sharinghan

 

[Black Hawk]

For me is this only a scar, Zorro is the Samura Character in this manga. When u look some old Samurai History and Story´s. You will always find some Scar on an eye. The History say a Samurai who see with one Eye, got the blind Spot where u can Hit. I say this is a training Wound and he do it for decoy his enemy. Possible also Mihawk never allow him to open his eye, only when his life is really in danger.

I say for my Own, this Scar was or is really fresh, but he can open the Eye. We don´t know really that he loose his Eye. Also in the pop culture Samurai, u will find blind Samurai, one eyed or with one arm.

I think is close to this explanation, but remember zoro is a very proud man, he could cut the eye himself as punishment for asking Mihawk's help in training, Don't you think?

 

[Kaiten]

His training was so bad ass that he lost an eye in the process. What other explanation is needed? And if Zoro's lost eye needs explaining I demand an explanation about Sanji's goatee. Why did he grow it? What type of razor does he use to trim it? Was growing it out his idea or one of the newkama's?

 

[kkck]

I think that is a bit of an exageration. You get a goatee on a whim, maybe you lose a bet or heck, he might have seen to many village people-ish characters... An eye is an entirely different matter. Its not just about zoro getting such an awesome training that his eue popped out out of sheer awesomeness, zoro was actually mutilated, this is a grave injury which he will have to deal with for the rest of his life. In turn, if sanji gets bored he just shaves the damn thing off or vibrates his chin so as to burn it off. At the very least I would think there is a justification to show how zoro was mutilated and half blinded while showing the goatee part is mildly less relevant...

 

[feanaro]

don't know if anyone made any comments on that, but a quite logical theory on zorro's lost eye

maybe he blinded himself, so he would give himself a disadvantage against mihawk, balancing his training advantages
so their final fight would be fair, without zorro's moral problem of having learned from hiss enemy

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Even though I mostly agree with kkck I actually hope that Zoro didn't loose his eye. I hope he has just a scar and he doesn't open his eye just because it might be painful and as he also doesn't need to open his second eye to fight trash.

 

[benelori]

Did anyone watch the Shura no Toki anime? With the badass hand to hand fighters...the Mutsus? Well there was one Mutsu who opened up his right eye only when in a serious fight...so I think it's the same with Zorro...just more badassery
