... and I don't know what it means. Searching for the term, I've found things
like 「戦士は目が命」, which seems to be related to the game Dragon Quest, and
【Firefly Shop】人形は目が命！, on an Amazon product, that follow the same structure as
what I'm looking for.

question
translation words
Found the expression 目が命 in a paperback I'm reading
This is a way of saying "X is most important". For example:

> 戦士は目が命
>
> 投手は肩が命

I don't think it's very common but it's a nice way of saying that X is
invaluable for Y.
