Style and various accessories have always played an important role in anime. Anime artists love to give their characters special and even eccentric looks to make them more memorable and relatable for fans. However, in some of these action, fantasy, and dark slice-of-life anime shows, accessories and anime rings play more important roles than a simple fashion item.
Some of these iconic rings have special powers that impact the characters' life and can even change the whole plot and the ending of the story.

But it's not always the case, since just like in real life anime rings often don't have magical powers but represent family, strength, and identity.
