The world of anime is really vast, with many different characters. These characters also possess different abilities. Thus, there is an abundant resource of superpowers when it comes down to anime, of course, depending on the genre. These powers can range from manipulation to superstrength. I mean, look at this picture of Spray-Bottle-Man trying to fight Dabi and his flames.
What I am trying to say is that in anime, there are a lot of superpowers and abilities that often take us by surprise. However, sometimes we also find similar abilities in different anime. If there are two characters from different anime that use firepower, we immediately understand what it does. Or even if two different characters from different anime have superstrength, then we again get an understanding of what the characters can do with their powers. Some of us even like to compare them with each other to see whose ability is stronger and whose is weaker.
But what about Eye abilities? Which are the most powerful eyes in anime? When it comes to eye powers, we don’t really know at first glance what they do. Eye abilities are different when it comes to different anime characters. Interestingly, these powers can execute long-range attacks too. Imagine winning a fight without moving a finger? Now that is something cool! In this article, we will be looking into 10 of these powerful eye abilities.
1. Sharingan – Naruto
When thinking of powerful eyes in anime, the Sharingan is one that first comes to mind. These eyes are available only to the members of the Uchiha clan from the Naruto series. The Uchihas awaken their Sharingan when they experience strong emotions. These emotions would range from hatred to fear. Initially, they awaken a Sharingan with only one tomoe, which turns into two and three tomoe once it has matured.
If faced with the loss of a loved one, the heavy emotions they faced would turn the Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Sharingan users can read their opponents’ movements, can see chakra to some extent, and can copy any Jutsu. This dojutsu is considered to be one of the Three Great Dojutsu along with the Byakugan and Rinnegan. In the anime, Granny Chiyo from the sand village mentions that when faced with a Sharingan user, one should flee.
2. Faustian Contract – Black Butler
Interestingly, the Faustian Contract comes from a legend that tells us the tale of an alchemist Johann Faust who makes a deal with the devil for knowledge and pleasures in exchange for his soul. Sounds familiar? Well, Ciel too stuck a deal with the demon named Sabastian in order to take revenge on the people who murdered his parents and tortured him.
When a deal is made, a seal is placed on the body of the human so that the human cannot escape. In Ciel’s case, it was placed in his eye. Now, this eye doesn’t really have a power of its own. It is more a less a symbol. But since Ciel has a symbol of the bargain in his eyes, the demon Sabastian is at his service. Sebastian is a demon who has been shown to have abilities that include blood manipulation, extraordinary senses and speed, super strength, and above all, immortality.

3. Byakugan – Naruto
Like the Sharingan, the Byakugan eyes belong to the Hyuuga clan in the Naruto series. These eyes have been passed down from the Otsutsuki clan. The user has had the Byakugan eyes since their birth. These eyes give the user the ability to see their opponents’ chakra more effectively than the Sharingan. Byakugan gives the user 360° vision. However, since it has been present since birth, the user needs to hone the skills of the Byakugan to develop it. However, the users do have a blindspot, and when this blindspot is recognized, it could deem dangerous to its user. The user using Byakugan can also spot any enemy from miles away.
4. Shinigami Eyes – Death Note
Ever wondered what a random person’s name was? Or perhaps have you wondered how long someone would live for? Well, the Shinigami Eyes from the anime Death Note can give you the answers to both these questions as they are very powerful. However, one must strike a deal with a Shinigami, that is a God of Death, in order to gain these eyes. Trade half of your remaining lifespan to the Shinigami, and you can gain the Shinigami Eye. This pair of eyes helps its users see the lifespan and name of a person floating right above their heads. The only downside is that you cannot see your own lifespan.
5. Geass – Code Geass
These are another powerful eyes granted by “witches” or immortal women like C.C. in the anime Code Geass. These eyes refer to the power of Geass. A cool aspect about this power is that it is different for everyone. For instance, Lelouch’s Geass is known as the “Power of Absolute Obedience,” which allows him to make people do things as he commands. Other Geass powers include the ability to see the future, transfer consciousness, and read minds. This power could be very powerful for long-range attacks, but in order to use it, one has to make eye contact with the opponent.
6. Plunder – Charlotte
Charlotte is a short and amazing anime that has different powers. In fact, in the anime, there even is a school for these powers. The protagonist, Yu, is initially shown to have the ability to transfer his consciousness in the bodies of other people for 5 seconds. However, as the story progresses, we find out that Yu’s actual ability is Looting or Plunder. This eye ability can steal the ability of others. The discovery of his actual power was made at the right time in the anime as they needed such an ability. Yu goes on a quest to “loot” the powers of other users in order to save the ability users. However, since this ability can loot many abilities at the same time, it can get heavy for the user.

7. Ultimate Eye – Fullmetal Alchemist
Bradly is the commander-in-chief in Fullmetal Alchemist. He also is the last human-based Homunculus created by “Father”. He is based on the sin Wrath. As we know, every Homunculus has the mark of Ouroboros on its body. Wrath has his mark in his left eye, whose revelation was an intriguing plot twist in the anime. His eye gives him the ability to predict the moves of his opponents. This has saved his life multiple times in battles.
8. Jagan Eye – YuYu Hakusho
How about powerful eyes in anime which is neither the left eye nor the right eye but a third eye right in the middle of the forehead? Well, Hiei from YuYu Hakusho has this ability. This is called the Evil Eye or Jagan. In order to obtain this eye, one must go to Shigure, who will listen to a patient’s life story as a means of payment. If the story is interesting, then he will take a part of the story and will operate the eyes on his patient. The Jagan is an eye that requires immense powers to adapt. It gives the use abilities like telepathy, remote viewing, mind control, telekinesis, and demonic fire manipulation.
9. Erasure – My Hero Academia
Eraserhead might be the laziest character in the anime, but when he has to get down on the battlefield, he is pretty scary. Eraserhead’s quirk ‘Erasure’ lets him erase people’s quirks by looking at them. He can erase quirks for a short period of time. The downside of this ability is that he needs to keep his eyes fixated on his opponents. His this eye ability has helped save many lives in the past. Although this ability is a powerful one in long-range attacks, Eraserhead learned hand-to-hand combat techniques.
10. Six Eye – Jujutsu Kaisen
Finally, Gojo’s eyes! Gojo Satoru’s eyes are powerful in Jujutsu Kaisen anime because “Eyes blue like the Atlantic and I’m going down like the Titanic”. Jokes apart, Gojo’s eyes are pretty rare and powerful. Limitless is an ability that has been passed down in the Gojo family but along with Six Eyes? It makes the user as close to being unbeatable. Gojo was born with six eyes that enhances the ability of Limitless.
He is known as the first sorcerer to be born with it in a hundred years. It gives him the ability to scan vast areas. However, he needs to cover his eyes because they reflect images in a very bright manner which could tire the eyes. But even with a blindfold on, he can see pretty much very well.
