We have images of Mihawk as a child, and he has normal eyes. This is important because it proves that the eyes he has now are most likely a power up. In the original manga, Mihawk's eyes were supposed to be red, like Imu. The fact that Mihawk did not possess these eyes as a child, but had gained them by the time of Roger's execution, means that obtaining these eyes was most likely, a significant moment in terms of him growing his power.
Mihawk is 43 currently, and Roger was executed 24 years ago. Mihawk would have been 19 when we first see him with his eyes; the same age as Zoro when he asked Mihawk to train him.
And Zoro just happens to have an eye that he hasn't opened the entirety of the post time skip? Isn't that interesting.
Mihawk's intelligence is underrated. I'm under the impression that he understands how Domi Reversi and the Abyss works, at least in combat terms. Mihawk wouldn't spoil Zoro's fun by telling him everything, but, he wouldn't want Zoro to be helpless against Imu's powers.
So? Mihawk taught Zoro how to train one of his eyes, to achieve the state Mihawk and Imu's eyes are in naturally.
In 1163, Imu was able to tell Eris and Teach were Xebec's family, as well as new Davy's, simply by looking at them. The red eye has at least some connection to Observation Haki, which is mental based.
IMO, Mihawk taught Zoro this tech, so Zoro could resist Imu's Domi Reversi. Mihawk WANTS Zoro to surpass him, there's no other reason Mihawk would have spent two years training the man. Mihawk would probably be really depressed if the guy he spent two years training just died because of the world governments demonic hax magic.
Mihawk told Zoro "there are some enemies with technique's powerful enough to overtake your own mind. In order to fight this, you need to learn to develop the same kind of eyes as me."
I'd imagine there's a tradeoff, which is why Zoro only has one eye doing this.
I think every Straw Hat besides Luffy, Brook (no blood), Usopp (too negative to turn), and Zoro will get Domi'd, and this eye is how Zoro will resist.
