Blind Weaponmaster	comment	They hold their staff (or other weapon) like they know what they're doing, but since they're completely without sight surely they aren't that dangerous, right? Wrong. The Blind Weaponmasters are some of the most deadly adversaries a character can face. In possession of supernatural senses born from blindness or just Badass Normal enough to compensate for the weaponmaster's loss with other natural senses, the Blind Weaponmaster will surprise any overconfident character and make heroes push their skill to its limits. A blind weaponmaster may invoke Your Eyes Can Deceive You by fighting in a visibly challenging location such as fog or total darkness which would even out the drawback or even reverse it on the weaponmaster's opponent instead. The Blind Weaponmaster's weapon of choice is stereotypically a staff, but other blunt weapons have been used as well. Blades are rare but not unheard of. A subtrope of Handicapped Badass. See also the aforementioned Your Eyes Can Deceive You for when normally-sighted characters would have to fight without the use of their eyes.

Glaucoma has robbed him of the sight in his right eye, and his left is beginning to fail as well....but he manages to conceal this from all but the most observant enemies. Other than a slowing in his movements and a slight favoring of that side when fighting, he seems to have compensated enough to remain a nigh-unstoppable killing machine.

He is able to hold his own against seven opponents at once. The turtles and crew are only able to beat him by taking away the only thing that lets him fight, his hearing. Leo, Raph, and Donny use Casey Jones's explosive pucks to cover Karai's footsteps as she runs towards Tatsu and deafens him with a head strike before taking him down. When Tatsu is deafened the entire world looks like a White Void Room letting Karai take him down with little trouble.

Blind Weaponmaster / int_3defe34c	comment	Later on the trope is discussed between several characters. After three members of the Kogan school are murdered in succession, each killed by an unknown swordsman using an ascending vertical strike, the remaining members get together and discuss what to do. Protagonist Fujiki Gennosuke states he suspects Irako Seigen may be the culprit, and others back him up by pointing out that each of the victims' corpses was arranged in a way that referenced Seigen's grudge against each of them. When senior instructor Ushimata Gonzaemon points out that Irako is blind, the others argue that it's possible Irako could have defeated them because Munakata and Yamazaki both faced him in the pitch black of night, while Suzunosuke was an immature pupil. Gonzaemon, however, tells them about a certain swordsman of the Sengoku era named Toda Seigen. Toda was a master of Chuujou Ryuu, who specialized in using a sword of less than two feet to subdue an opponent using a blade over three feet in length. One of his disciples was the famous Sasaki Kojiro. In 1561, Seigen was commanded by his lord to fight a match with a disciple of Shinto Ryuu named Umezu, wielding a staff three and a half feet long. This was despite the fact that Seigen had gone blind froma disease. Using a club barely more than a foot long, he won by lunging through Umezu's defense and wildly beating to a pulp at close range. Gonzaemon observes that this was how Toda had to fight, because he could not see; that is what a blind swordsman is like. In contrast, each of the warriors of Kogan Ryuu were killed by a single, incredibly precise strike. That's why at this point Gonzaemon doesn't believe it could have been Irako himself, but as they will soon find out, Irako has surpassed what a blind swordsman ought to be capable of.

He's so skilled with weapons that replacing his old bo staff and nunchaku with random wrenches and crowbars from around his garage did little to prevent him from waging war on an entire crime syndicate by himself and doing very well.

Blind Weaponmaster / int_5bd0554b	comment	Demon hunters in the Warcraft franchise, the most notable of which is Illidan (seen in the page picture), don't just wear blindfolds - their eyes are burned away by demonic energy, and they use Aura Vision instead. In the World of Warcraft expansion pack Legion, they became a playable hero class. Note, however, that since the release of World of Warcraft: Illidan, they are (in addition to aura vision) far from blind, as it was retconned that they can adjust their Spectral Sight, which allows them to see like any other normal living being.

Blind Weaponmaster / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder The Swordmaster's Blindfold blinds the wearer to everything beyond their weapon's reach, but does nice things for critical hits. The Blind-Fight feat chain removes most of the impairments associated with blindness in combat, and the Blinded Blade Style feat chain gives combat-related benefits when blinded. While this only helps in melee combat and offers little benefits against ranged attacks, it's still pretty good to render gaze attacks, concealment and invisibility useless. The empyreal lord Vildeis is said to have torn out her own eyes at the sight of evil, and wears a red blindfold as she roams ceaselessly through the planes seeking evildoers to kill. Some of her followers emulate her in this mutilation, or were already blind before entering her service, but either way are expected to be good fighters.

She's only 12 (and is also kind of small for her age), but is easily the most powerful non-Avatar earthbender ever, to the point of improving on the art by inventing metalbending (which was previously thought to be impossible). At age 86, she shows how much she's progressed by casually dodging airbending (admittedly, sight wouldn't be that useful against it, but it's something she can't sense via earthbending either). By this time, with her pilgrimage added in, she is without question the greatest earthbender who ever lived.

Blind Weaponmaster / int_86c0770	comment	Shigurui: Grandmaster Iwamoto Kogan blinds Irako Seigen using his secret sword cut nagare boshi (shooting star), as punishment for sleeping with his concubine Iku. Irako and Iku are rescued by a swordsman named Tsukioka Yukinosuke, who takes them to a village in the Hida Mountains. There, with the help of Iku and Yukinosuke, Irako goes through the painful and difficult process of adjusting to his blindness, and ultimately develops the ability to sword fight as efficiently as he did before. He goes beyond that, however, by inventing a technique called mumyou sakanagare ("lightless reverse flow"): it's a modification of and a counter to Kogan's nagare boshi, which is even more powerful because Irako sticks the point of his sword into the earth instead of gripping it in his other hand as Kogan did, so that he can use his whole body to charge up the sword with energy and release it like a slingshot in a vertical ascending strike as he dives toward his opponent. With this technique, Irako comes back and starts killing highly skilled members of Kogan Ryuu one after another. He eventually earns the favor of the shogun's brother, Tokugawa Tadanaga, and his fearsome reputation as the Blind Dragon spreads far and wide. Later on the trope is discussed between several characters. After three members of the Kogan school are murdered in succession, each killed by an unknown swordsman using an ascending vertical strike, the remaining members get together and discuss what to do. Protagonist Fujiki Gennosuke states he suspects Irako Seigen may be the culprit, and others back him up by pointing out that each of the victims' corpses was arranged in a way that referenced Seigen's grudge against each of them. When senior instructor Ushimata Gonzaemon points out that Irako is blind, the others argue that it's possible Irako could have defeated them because Munakata and Yamazaki both faced him in the pitch black of night, while Suzunosuke was an immature pupil. Gonzaemon, however, tells them about a certain swordsman of the Sengoku era named Toda Seigen. Toda was a master of Chuujou Ryuu, who specialized in using a sword of less than two feet to subdue an opponent using a blade over three feet in length. One of his disciples was the famous Sasaki Kojiro. In 1561, Seigen was commanded by his lord to fight a match with a disciple of Shinto Ryuu named Umezu, wielding a staff three and a half feet long. This was despite the fact that Seigen had gone blind froma disease. Using a club barely more than a foot long, he won by lunging through Umezu's defense and wildly beating to a pulp at close range. Gonzaemon observes that this was how Toda had to fight, because he could not see; that is what a blind swordsman is like. In contrast, each of the warriors of Kogan Ryuu were killed by a single, incredibly precise strike. That's why at this point Gonzaemon doesn't believe it could have been Irako himself, but as they will soon find out, Irako has surpassed what a blind swordsman ought to be capable of.

He spends the next few chapters at subpar, though he gets an Attack Its Weak Point technique and some improved dodgeability at the end of the first dungeon he spends in this state. After the Time Skip for the endgame, he's back to fighting as well as (if not better than) he was before. According to the lore of the Ivalice Alliance games, the Bangaa have bad eyesight and some wear blindfolds as a result. One of the Bangaa classes in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 has them wearing a blindfold and using cards as projectile weapons and causing a variety of status effects. Their accuracy is just as good as other characters with normal eyesight.

Blind Weaponmaster / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls has the legendary Hawkeye Gough, one of Gwyn's Four Knights who shot down countless dragons with a bow and arrow (it helps that he's a giant as big as a house and his bow is as big as he is). When you meet him in Artorias of the Abyss, he has gone blind and now spends his days making wood carvings, but is still a good enough shot that he can snipe the dragon Kalameet out of the sky on his first attempt, incapacitating him enough so that you can finally have a (somewhat) fair fight with him. However, if you kill Gough and take his stuff, the Flavor Text on his helmet says that a bunch of Fantastic Racists who didn't like giants stuffed the eyeholes full of pine resin to screw with him, so he might not actually be blind and only thinks he is because he can't see out of his helmet and hasn't tried removing it. In Dark Souls III, neither of the Twin Princes can see all that well: Lothric is afflicted with terrible cataracts, while Lorian's Cool Crown covers his eyes (for bonus points, Lorian can also barely walk). Doesn't stop them from combining Lothric's magic and Lorian's swordplay to kick your ass over and over and over again.

Subverted in the episode "Lower Decks" when Worf blindfolds a martial arts student as part of a test and tells her to anticipate his attacks. He kicks her ass until she quits, saying that the test is unfair. Worf admits of course you'll lose a fight if you're blind. The real test was getting the nerve to say that to his face.
