Gojo's Six Eyes
Gojo Satoru can manipulate cursed energy at an atomic level, granting infinite efficiency and output. He wears a blindfold to prevent sensory overload that would fry his brain. When removed, the animation budget triples and an opponent faces a very bad day.
[00:27]
Yhwach's Almighty
Yhwach sees every possible future and selects the one where he wins, making it akin to a playground 'infinity shield.' The ability broke the plot so severely that the only counter was a deus ex machina arrow designed specifically to disable it.
[00:53]
Anos's Magic Eyes
Anos Voldigoad's eyes destroy logic itself upon looking at something. Indestructible shields are destroyed, un-nullifiable spells are nullified, simply because he sees them. He closes his eyes not out of fatigue but to prevent reality from crumbling.
These three eye abilities exemplify the 'cheat code' trope in anime, each pushing power scaling to absurd extremes and forcing authors to invent increasingly contrived counters.

[00:15] blindfold because his brain would fry from the sensory overload if he didn't. This man nerfs himself just to function in society. When the blindfold comes off, the animation budget triples and somebody's about to have a very bad day.
[00:27] Number two, the Almighty from Bleach. Yhwach doesn't just see the future, he sees every possible future and then picks the one where he wins. It's the superpower equivalent of a kid on the playground going, "Nah-uh, I have an
[00:40] infinity shield." It broke the plot so hard the only way to beat it was a literal deus ex machina arrow designed specifically to turn it off. You're not fighting a villain, you're fighting the author. Number three, magic eyes of
[00:53] chaotic destruction from the Misfit of Demon King Academy. Anos Voldigoad looks at something and logic itself packs its bags and leaves. Indestructible shield, destroyed. Spell that can't be nullified, nullified. Why? Because he
[01:06] saw it. He closes his eyes not because he's tired, but to stop reality from crumbling. When you can destroy the concept of reason with a glance, you've concept of reason with a glance, you've won anime.
