Eat Man: Difference between revisions

 

The hero of the story is Bolt Crank, a [[Badass]] dude who has the ability to eat anything, then re-create it, whole and functional, from his arm. This is, more often than not, a [[BFG|ridiculously large gun of some kind]]. He typically travels the world, righting wrongs and spending a surprising amount of time helping young couples get together despite enormous odds. An anime adaptation was made in 1997, animated by [[Studio DEEN]] and directed by [[Koichi Mashimo]].

* [[Acrofatic]] (Roberto Silvka)

* [[Aloof Big Brother]] ({{spoiler|Leon, who acts like one at least}})

* [[BFS]] (The Boer Sword deserves a special mention for having a length that's about twice its wielder.)

* [[Become a Real Boy]] ({{spoiler|The point of Leon's [[Xanatos Gambit]] is to turn Stella into a real girl.}} Not that it works, mind you.)

* [[Catch Phrase]] ("I don't care if you believe me or not!")

** And to a lesser extent, "Ate it" and "Complete!"

* [[Facial Markings]]

* [[Flowers for Algernon Syndrome]] (The cure for Future's memory loss/mental regression in the Big Generator Arc.)

* [[Generation Xerox]]

* [[Gentle Giant]] (Bolt is more inexpressive than stoic and is shown to be very kind and considerate.)

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] (Several times during the MOLE arc.)

* [[Hope Spot]] (During the MOLE arc, {{spoiler|Macus has his legs cut off and is set adrift in Zero G. Bolt pulls out the yo-yo [[Chekhov's Gun|that he ate earlier]] and flings it in Macus' direction... But the string isn't long enough.}})

* [[Humongous Mecha]] (Garron)

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] (Bolt's is both justified and of a particularly epic nature)

* [[In Name Only]]: The anime adaptation had little to do with the story and only featured the main character.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]] (Hard was hired by {{spoiler|Stella}} to bring Eurydice back to her sister. Later, after {{spoiler|Stella replicated herself}} and Bolt hired Hard to help out, Eurydice asks him to finish the job to bring her to her sister. His logic in refusing to do so is that {{spoiler|Stella}} was the one to hire him to do that, now that there are {{spoiler|"so many Stellas"}} it's "Only logical to finish what Bolt hired me for first."

* [[Ironic Echo]] ("You said you would have a "go" with me, right?" As well as [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"They're from a different world."]])

* [[Meaningful Name]] (Bolt's favorite foods are bolts and cranks. Some old work companions gave him the name because of that, since he lacked one before.)

* [[The Quiet One]] (Bolt rarely ever talks and changes his expression even less often, though this is more of a personal quirk rather than due to any form of psychological issues. He's simply quiet.)

* [[The Nicknamer]]

* [[Razor Floss]] (Mark's weapon of choice. He's good enough to use it to bisect incoming bullets.)

** Bolt himself uses it during the "My Adventure" arc.

* [[Xanatos Roulette]] ({{spoiler|Leon}}'s plan. Doesn't work.)

* [[You Just Told Me]]

'''Chuck:''' "Muwahahaha! I was just guessing!" }}

* [[Zero-G Spot]] (Alice offers this to her fiance during the MOLE arc. He doesn't take her up on it.)
