Rita's Right Eye

I'm glad it's back, but I noticed there's some discussion on JP Toku Twitter about Rita's heterochromia after reading the production blog on the official Toei site.

"Rita's one eye has been exposed for the first time since episode 5!"

Now the term used isn't "オッドアイ" (Odd Eye) which fans have usually used aka a term used for heterochromia. Instead the blog used "隻眼" (sekigan: one eye).

Now usually the term "one eye" more often than not refers to being unable to use one eye and relying on the other. The unusable one is often covered, closed, and/or has a scar. Sometimes having a glass eye or empty socket.

But considering the fact that King-Ohger has been going more along the anime route and taking references from various popular franchises, they could be using the second meaning for the one eye in entertainment:

Hidden Abilities

I only say this because of how Rita's eyes are always revealed.

If Rita truly can't see out of their right eye, why uncover it before transforming? Why have such a huge reveal even when no one can see it but the enemies they will slay? And why is it always when they're about to seriously fight the Bugnarok Army mostly by themselves? If it's unusable, why bother?

Even if we now know why Rita was chosen to be King and the trauma behind it, we still don't know anything about that eye and what production is hinting at. And I kinda look forward to the episode where they will push it aside in front of the team and have it explained later on. Even having it covered as a kid which raises more questions than answers.
