If you’re a fan of anime, then you must be familiar with characters who are known for wearing an eye patch. However, have you ever wondered why these anime characters need to cover one or both of their eyes? In this article, we will discuss three of the strongest anime characters with eye patches – Gojo Satoru, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hatake Kakashi.
Gojo Satoru is from the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. He has a special ability called Six Eyes that allows him to control cursed energy. Despite his immense power, Gojo still wears an eye patch to prevent his Six Eyes from overworking and draining his energy. This gives him enough time to rest and recover, and when he needs to use his Six Eyes, he can simply remove the patch. Despite wearing an eye patch, Gojo can still perceive his surroundings and sense imposed curses.
Similarly, Hatake Kakashi from the Naruto series also wears an eye patch to cover his Sharingan, which he received from his late comrade Obito Uchiha. Kakashi does not have the same genetic Uchiha lineage and cannot withstand the significant energy drain and resulting exhaustion that continuously using the Sharingan causes. As such, he relies on his other skills as a skilled ninja without relying too much on his Sharingan.
Lastly, we have Uchiha Sasuke, who covers his Rinnegan with an eye patch. Sasuke is known for his Sharingan and eventually obtaining the Rinnegan after being injected with Hashirama’s cells. Despite the immense power that the Rinnegan possesses, Sasuke chooses to keep it covered most of the time to avoid being drained of his energy. This allows him to conserve his chakra and only use his Rinnegan when necessary.
In conclusion, the eye patch may seem like an aesthetic choice for anime characters, but it serves a practical purpose. Gojo Satoru, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Sasuke prove that even the strongest characters require rest and cannot maintain their abilities indefinitely. By using their eye patches, they can conserve their energy and maintain their powers for when they truly need it. These three anime characters have become fan favorites and for a good reason – their personalities complement their strengths and abilities.
