* In the ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'' episode "The Day the Soyokaze Vanished", it is revealed that there are rumors that the Soyokaze was demoted and sent to this exact same sector of space once ten years before. During that time, a number of the crew committed suicide by flushing themselves into space, due to a combination of shame and boredom, and the captain (a former friend of Admiral Fuji, who arranged for the Soyokaze to be demoted so that he could be promoted) committed suicide. This is proven true and the ghost of the captain returns to the Soyokaze, trying first to kill Lieutenant Yamamoto (mistaking him for the captain), then Tylor. Just as he is about to kill them, Yamamoto and Tylor start arguing, revealing just how irresponsible and lacksadasical Tylor is about his commission, disgusting the ghost so much that he breaks off his murderous efforts and ends the haunting, angrily declaring them to be too pathetic to bother with.

* A non-comedic example. In ''[[Hellsing]]'', Alucard, one of ~~fictiondoms~~ [[God Mode Sue|most insanely overpowered characters]], has a habit of eating his defeated enemies' souls to enslave them and assimilate their power. {{spoiler|He's almost [[Killed Off for Real]] when he chows down on walking physics anomaly Schrodinger, whose power is so bizarre it causes Alucard to undergo a quantum existence failure. He does recover, but it takes ''30 years''.}}

** In a fight between Seras and Zorin, Victoria bites off Zorin's fingers, and spits them out saying she would never drink blood of something like her.

* Another non-comedic example in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. After he is critically injured, {{spoiler|Kimblee is devoured by Pride. Not long after, however, Kimblee emerges from the thousands of tormented souls trapped within Pride to distract and weaken him at a key moment. Pride doesn't understand how Kimblee could have managed to retain his sanity in the maelstrom, but he overlooks the fact that [[Insanity Immunity|Kimblee is already insane]] [[Crazy Awesome|and loving it]]}}.

** You'll also notice that {{spoiler|[[Fridge Brilliance|the other souls are staying as far away from him as possible]]}}.

* Another non-comedic example in ''[[Slayers]]''. The Holy Tree Flagoon was planted to absorb the evil miasma generated by demons, and in season 1 / novel 3 is able to consume the Demon Beast Zanaffar whole. In season 2 / novel 8, the tree tries to absorb the miasma of Hellmaster Fibrizo... and dies instantly.

** A comedic instance occurs in the very first episode. A dragon steps ''over'' Lina rather than step on her, shortly after Lina has learned of a rather... unflattering nickname for herself relating to ''exactly this sort of situation''. A similar joke is used in one of the OVAs, where Lina and her employer confront an army of dragons, who ''immediately'' put on [[Oh Crap]] faces and [[Attack! Attack! Retreat! Retreat!|advance to the rear at full speed]].

*** The nickname also refers to the fact that she just generally terrifies dragons... and pretty much everyone else.

* A similar example appears in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', when England tries to curse America with an evil chair. [[Yandere|Russia]] sits on it instead and 'Russia is more evil than the chair, so the chair exploded'.

** When England and America capture Italy, they send him back to Germany (in a box [[Gratuitous English|~~labeled~~ "fuck"]], no less) because he's a pain to take care of.

* In ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'', after being tossed out the window in a tiger costume Miu returns as [[Dracula]], and proceeds to pretend to suck Matsuri's blood. ("Nothing like the taste of a sweet virgin's young blood," she remarks.) She turns to Nobue, but stops. ("No, wait. Old lady blood? Bleh...") Nobue protests that her blood's delicious, as she's only 16.

* Non-comedic example in ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'': Himegami Aisa possesses the ability 'Deep Blood' which makes her blood seem attractive to vampires and kills them when they drink it. A vampire attracted by this ability converted her family and friends into vampires resulting in their deaths.

A vampire attracted by this ability converted her family and friends into vampires resulting in their deaths.{{context|reason=How is this an example of this trope? This appears to be an example of the exact opposite of this trope. Please explain how it fits the trope as written.}}

* In chapter 527 of ''[[Naruto]]'', The Raikage talks about two criminals known as the Kingin Brothers, who tried to seize the power of the Kyuubi, and got eaten for their troubles. For the next ''two weeks'', they caused him so much indigestion that the Ninetails couldn't stand it anymore and spit them out.

** And they survived by ''eating the Kyuubi's flesh.''

* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' has two examples of this. The first is when a villain who [[Cannibalism Superpower|eats people]] to [[Mega Manning|absorb their powers]] eats someone with [[From a Single Cell|incredible regenerative capabilities]], and is slowly taken over by him. The second is in backstory, though revealed rather late in the manga—a woman many centuries ago treated diseases by eating flesh from diseased corpses, building up antibodies, and then feeding bits of her own flesh to sick people. When a demon tried to eat her, she taunted him with the knowledge that he'd [[Regret Eating Me|almost certainly die of it]], and he wound up [[Interspecies Romance|seducing her instead]].

* ''[[Spunky Knight]]'s'' main character, [[Boobs of Steel|Phaia]] is a comedic/sexy example as everything from [[Hero-Killer|wanted men,]] to hordes of mooks to [[Naughty Tentacles|Demon Lords,]] Eldritch Abominations and a professional Magic Knight/Mad Scientist/Slave Trader try to [[Break the Cutie|turn her into a sex slave]] [[Too Kinky to Torture|only for it to horrifically backfire on them]] and [[Out with a Bang|lead to their defeat.]] To date, the '''only''' man capable of truly satisfying her is fellow [[Badass Normal]], [[Badass Teacher|Torre.]]

* ''[[One Piece]]'' has a few examples.

* ~~[[One Piece]] has a few examples.~~ After Momoo's tailfin is ~~intially~~ kicked by the Strawhats, he will run away after preparing to attack them once he recognizes their faces.

** After Momoo's tailfin is initially kicked by the Strawhats, he will run away after preparing to attack them once he recognizes their faces.{{context|reason=How is this an example of this trope? Who eats Momoo?}}

** Also, in "Little Buggy's Big Adventure" in the chapter openings in the manga and a few fillers in the anime, Buggy is eaten by a giant bird and spat into the distance ~~immediatly~~.

** Perona has intangible ghosts that make people feel negative if they go through that person. Usopp, who feels negative all the time, not only is unaffected, but the ghosts that went through him felt negative.

* During the final match of the Devil Chojin arc ~~in ''[[Kinnikuman]]~~,'' Buffaloman manages to ~~stal~~ Kinnikuman's life force, killing him...and then burst into flame because the Burning Inner Strength was more than he could handle. He had to return the power to Kinnikuman's body and resurrect him to save his own life.

* ''[[Kinnikuman]]'':

⚫

** In one earlier anime episode, Kinnikuman is fighting a sea monster for publicity, only to find said monster ~~FAR~~ larger than he is and gets swallowed whole. As a funeral is held in his honor, the sea monster stomach makes some unpleasant noises...and Kinnikuman crawls out from under it. It's not hard to figure out how Kin escaped.

* In [[Hanako and The Terror of Allegory]], Kanae is being haunted by a demon which intends to take her soul as payment for granting her wish of being an idol singer. To stall for time, Kanae keeps making more extravagant wishes, forcing the demon to try and make her into an international superstar despite her lack of talent. When Daisuke finally bursts in to rescue her, the exhausted demon screams at him, "Save me, please! She's the devil!"

* The Oni in [[Ranma ½]] that spend the entire episode trying to get saintly Kasumi to be evil shifts his ~~possesion~~ to Happosai so he can gather evil faster. A little too fast, since Happosai turns out to be too evil for even the Oni to stomach.

{{quote|'''Firo:''' Hey, come to think of it, isn't Isaac the kinda guy you said you hate? The kind who think they'll never die.

'''Ladd:''' Nah. I've been keeping my eye on him for a few weeks now, and... Well, let's be honest here. There's something wrong with the guy's head. Getting mad at him'd be like getting mad at a puppy. He honestly doesn't have enough brains to know any better. }}
