Eyepatch of Power: Difference between revisions

* An odd and extremely [[Narm]] version of this is combined with [[Mask Power]] in ''[[Dragonaut: The Resonance]]''. When Kazuki, the [[Rival Turned Evil]], returns from a [[No One Could Survive That]] moment, he's wearing an eyepatch...as a mask. It makes it look like he has a thong on his head.

* Makiko Nagi of ''[[Tenjho Tenge]]'' wears one, and it covers a pretty freaky scar. She got it {{spoiler|after her lover decided to try creating an ultimate weapon out of someone else and removed the eye in question in order to give his new experimentee the abilities she'd already absorbed from other people.}}

* Saito from ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' has a cybernetic implant that resembles an eyepatch. His left eye was replaced with the "Hawkeye", a prosthetic eye that interfaces with satellites to allow for shots of incredible accuracy.

* Kind of subverted in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' as the while the eyepatch Lockon Stratos receives later in the series does make him look more badass (if this is even possible for [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|stupid, sexy Lockon]]), {{spoiler|it gives Ali an advantage in the final fight causing Lockon to lose their fight and ''die''.}}

* Humorously subverted in the Ferengi episode of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]]''. While Paris and Chakotay visit an alien planet, they're approached by a 'prophet' (read: con-man) who gives interpretations of sacred legends for a 'small fee'. This all works very well (though neither of them are actually fooled), until Paris dryly points out that his [[Eyepatch of Power]] was on the ''other'' eye the last time they spoke with him. Said con-man then switches the patch to the 'correct' eye right in front of them, and holds out his hand for payment.

* Lily Charles of ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' is missing an eye due to an incident while cleaning cat litter and is definitely bad-ass, {{spoiler|blowing her erstwhile assassin out the window with her shotgun after he thought her choked to death}}. Her lack of an eye is dealt with realistically, if a bit comedically, in that she [[Failed a Spot Check|misses the fact]] that Chuck, her niece{{spoiler|/daughter}}, is back from the dead despite Chuck standing right in front of her. You see, Chuck just happened to be in her blind-spot at the time...

* "Archangel" loses one eye after the Evil Dr. Moffett's attack on the control tower in the pilot of ''[[Airwolf]]''. From then on, he wears glasses with [http://awmod.uni.cc/info/Archangel.jpg one black lens], as well as a white eyepatch on occasions he can't wear the glasses.

* In the pilot for ''[[Firefly]]'', {{spoiler|Lawrence Dobson gets his eye shot out by Mal. Though he survives, he harbors a massive grudge in the tie-in comic ''Those Left Behind'', and, as a nifty bonus, he gets a ''seriously'' mean-looking cybernetic eye implant grafted onto the side of his head.}} This goes hand-in-hand with his boosted [[Badass|badassness]] by that point.

** Later in the game, however, he is wiring a base up with plastic explosive. He moulds it into the shape of a moth, throws it up into the air, and catches it - "Got you this time," he tells it, then attaches it to the detonator.

** Strangely, in a later scene, the player needs to fire a sniper rifle at explosives to destroy the Shagohad, and when that fails he switches to an RPG, all of this with his standard pinpoint accuracy - which normally would be fine, except the sight is on the right side and cannot be moved. Guess which side his eyepatch is on. And the kicker? You can still see down the sight of the RPG in First-Person View.

*** Somewhat justified: The cutscene where he pulls out the SVD after jumping out of Eva's sidecar shows pretty clearly that he's just forcing his left eye into the scope of those weapons.

** One of his sons, later in the series's chronology, is actually happy to lose his eye in a plane crash - now he looks like his father. However, this is subverted, as an easy way to defeat him in the final boss battle is to approach him from the side of his missing eye, where he has a small blind spot.
