Big Eater/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Uehara in ''Good Morning Call''. The first meal we see him eat is four pizzas, ''all in one go''.

* Legato Bluesummers from ''[[Trigun (Manga)|Trigun]]'' is a relatively rare villain example. [[Word of God]] says that this was intended to be a humorous character trait, but also serves to make him ''creepy as hell'' depending on the context of the meal.

* ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' has [[Supreme Chef|Sumire]], [[Justified Trope|justified]] since she eats much (and mixes ramen with coffee!) to test the local food to improve her own ramen.

* Aisha Clan-Clan and apparently all Ctarl-Ctarls from ''[[Outlaw Star (Anime)|Outlaw Star]]''. In the first episode showing her tangle with the heroes, she's seen vigorously stuffing her face at a restaurant, including chugging multiple bowls of stew--each of which were large enough to feed a table of four. Her appetite happens to fuel her super-strength and ability to turn into a feral tiger-creature, and she can be weakened by not eating. Her food tabs are a pretty sizable addition to the crew's financial woes.

* Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Amelia and, in the anime, Pokota in ''[[Slayers]]''. Justified in-universe as, basically, the more you do, the more you need to eat to sustain yourself. As a result, spellcasters need to take in lots of energy to counteract the drain of the spells they cast, and Lina is extremely careless about slinging spells around. Gourry's hyper-swordsman skills (not to mention his own considerable stature) take up a lot of energy for similar reasons. The only exemptions are Xellos, who is an [[Emotion Eater]], and Zelgadis, who usually eats less due to his nature as a Chimera -- being one-third demon and one-third [[Golem|rock golem]] means he needs less physical sustenance. The one time he does eat like the others is to enjoy a victory feast for killing Copy Rezo and Zanaffar at the end of the first season.

* Usagi (and sometimes Chibiusa) from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. Only one episode early in the first season ever concerned itself with her possible weight gain and even that was pretty much dealt with as a [[Compressed Vice]]. ''[[Sailor Moon Abridged]]'' plays this aspect up as a [[Running Gag]], where Usagi is constantly called fat even though her character design is far from it. Her younger brother Shingo was sometimes said to be this too [[Fridge Brilliance|which makes sense]] since as an adolescent he's got some growth spurts to fuel (one of which appears to begin at the start of the second season).

** Ranma Saotome is a borderline case; he does eat large meals, and is willing to swindle or steal food if particularly hungry, but the fights he gets into presumably burn a lot of calories and his meals aren't exceptional by ordinary standards. When he's been really pushing himself, however, he eats a lot more to recover (one anime episode has him consume five heaped bowls of rice after spending 72 straight hours doing nothing but train), and he can put away an impressive amount of food if pressed (an anime episode has him consume four full-course meals as part of a contest).

** The OAV ''Akane and Her Sisters'' introduces Kurumi "Tendô", who put all Big Eaters in the series to shame. Despite being a small girl, she can wolf down record amount of food faster than any martial artist. She's also an [[Extreme Omnivore]], able to eat [[Lethal Chef]] Akane's cooking -- and ask for more.

* Junta from ''[[Ame Nochi Hare]]''. His voracious appetite in virtually any situation is somewhat of a running gag.

* Index and Aisa Himegami of ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index (Anime)|To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'', although the latter is only a big eater when it comes to burgers. Index, however, will probably swallow an entire kitchen before being satisfied. Fortunately for her (and [[Catch Phrase|misfortunately]] for the guy), Touma knows how to cook.

* ''[[Bleach]]'' has Yoruichi, who is shown in episode 114 putting away massive amounts of food.

** Orihime, to a certain extent. Her friends lampshade it by saying that everything she eats goes to her [[Gag Boobs]].
