Meaning: Help
The eye is a little squished at the bottom. That’s because you’re squeezing your eyes together to unlock a power you have. – You have a power and it’s in your eyes. When you squeeze one of your eyes (without closing it, just like the radical) it shoots out a laser beam. What do you do with this power? Of course you help innocent people, because you’re a good person, right?
Imagine someone getting robbed. You jump in as they’re yelling “HELP, HELP!” and squeeze your eye kinda-closed. A laser shoots out and blasts the bad guy apart. You’re awesome, but also a murderer now. Whoops.
Reading: じょ
You have another weapon that you use to help people with too. It’s a jo fighting stick.
Imagine yourself using both of these things in tandem. Maybe you fly down on your enemy, shooting lasers out of your eyes. Then, you slam the jo into the bad-guy’s face. What a nice one-two punch.
