The Christmas season is an excellent time for giving, merriment, and cheer. It elicits fondly sentimental emotions between people and is strongly associated with the exchange of gifts.
It may come as a surprise that gifts play just as substantial of a role in the world of anime as it does in the real one. In certain instances, a present can spell the difference between life, death, and even the fate of an entire civilization. By identifying a handful of meaningful presents in dozens of series, we can better appreciate their lasting impact.

Though individually weak, they could automatically win any game when put together. It allowed Yami to overcome Kaiba and punish him with a penalty game.

2 Shisui Gave Itachi His Sharingan Before Dying (Naruto)
Relentlessly hunted by Danzo Shimura’s Foundation operatives, it seemed as if Shisui Uchiha was as good as dead. The villain had already ripped one eye from him, and it wasn’t long before he would have the other in order to complete his Izanagi arm.
Defiantly, he gave Itachi his remaining sharingan before his death. The young shinobi never forgot his friend’s sacrifice, and although he was ultimately responsible for massacring their clan, he acted solely in the interest of minimizing as many casualties as possible. Should Konoha have become embroiled in civil war, the other four major nations would get involved immediately.
