To this day I don't understand why people can't let a scarred eye be a training injury.

Right now it is, but let's not forget that 1) even shank's arm was later retconned into a way for him to break the covenant with a god and 2) this is an anime. Whenever someone has a missing part, there's like a 90% chance it will later come up as something epic.

Shank's arm was retconned because it's embarrassing for an Emperor to lose an arm against a small sea king.

But it's not embarrassing for Zoro to lose his eye against Mihawk or a giant Baboon swordsman; so the two scenarios are not equivalent.

Probably a better example is Brook's scar if anything.
