Good morning i'm asking for someone with Japanese knowledge to translate word by word the phrase "三つ目 が 通る" (Mitsume ga Tōru) which i took from a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) videogame.
It translates to The Third-Eyes One, or The Third Eye Passes, if anyone could discuss with me or other people about it i'll be glad to chat, i'm not the best with Japanese.
Expecting answers, thank you.

Third eye typically means insight and stuff like that, mystical stuff. It's not really anything special.

Hi, i knew that already, i meant the structure of the phrase in Kanji because the characters don't have spaces so i can't tell any apart, thanks

三つ目 could be a name Mitsume. And it can also mean "the third [one]." Does the third eye thing make sense in the context? I don't think it has anything to do with the third eye unless it's clear from the game context.

三つ目 = Mitsume
が = is
通る= pass through/go by/etc.

DeepL translates it to: The third one comes through.
