The question
When does Zoro acquire the long vertical scar over his now-permanently-closed left eye, how, and is the eye merely shut, blind, or concealing something?
Leading theories
Theory A — training injury under Mihawk
- Claim: The scar is a wound from his two-year sparring with the World’s Greatest Swordsman on Kuraigana/Gloom Island.
- Evidence leans on:
[[Chapters/0599]](timing of the reveal aligns with the end of the Mihawk tutelage); cf. Worlds Greatest Swordsman. - Confidence: low (no on-page cause shown).
Theory B — the eye conceals a power
- Claim: The permanently-closed eye hides something (a latent Haki/observation faculty), not merely a blinding.
- Evidence leans on: nothing on-page yet — pure open question.
- Confidence: low.
