One Piece: How Did Zoro Really Lose His Eye? Explained ?

A new theory shakes up popular fan beliefs about Zoro’s left eye

One Piece, Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece, stands out from its competitors for its ability to weave mysteries that captivate fans and keep them on the edge of their seats, eager to discover what comes next. Among these enigmas, one of the most intriguing is undoubtedly that of Zoro’s left eye , closed since his stay on the island of Kuraigana where he trained under the leadership of Mihawk.

Zoro vs. Mihawk

Many speculate that Zoro’s eye holds a new form or divine powers. However, the most realistic theory, proposed by Reddit user u/MatthewGoodnight1788, suggests that Zoro simply lost his eye during his training . No rise in power, no supernatural abilities, just an injury, which seems to be the most plausible explanation against the many other theories.

The narrative excellence of Eiichiro Oda no longer needs to be proven. With over two decades of storytelling in the One Piece universe, it has revealed so many secrets, while hinting that many mysteries remain to be discovered. One of the most notable is that of Zoro’s left eye , after the Straw Hats split up for two years to become stronger, Zoro having had the chance to be trained by the greatest swordsman in the world, Mihawk.

Theories about Zoro’s eye

Since his return, Zoro’s left eye, now scarred and closed, has given rise to countless theories. While some believe it is linked to its Asura form, others hope to see it unlock divine powers when it opens. However, the most pragmatic theory remains that of his simple loss during his training under Mihawk , thus illustrating Zoro’s prior arrogance and his humiliation by Mihawk with a simple kitchen knife.
