* As a half-devil hybrid, Denji, the protagonist of ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', like most other devils in the manga feeds on blood and flesh, but even as a human, he's willing to eat about anything that has nutritious value, from food that fell on the ground or that he found on the trash, to things like flowers and scabs. That is justified, however, by his past, as a street kid who had to do (and eat) [[TooDesperatetoBePicky anything to survive]].

** In his youth, Goku was very naive about the outside world and thought with his stomach a lot, which more than once lead to him believing a person, thing or concept he'd never heard of before [[IsItSomethingYouEat was something to eat]].
** In his first appearance, Yajirobe kills, cooks, and eats one of Piccolo Daimao's monstrous dinosaur/demon-like henchmen. Even ''Goku'' thought that was weird.

** Syn Shenron from ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' consumes the seven Dragon Balls to gain the power of the previously defeated Shadow Dragons, becoming Omega Shenron. Later when Syn attempts to do so again, Goku decides to eat the Four Star Ball (his grandfather's keepsake) to prevent Omega from reaching full power and to keep Nouva Shenron from being corrupted. While Goku's attempt is more painful, he was successful in what he planned.

* Gourry Gabriev from ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' is sometimes shown as an Extreme Omnivore. For example, when a crooked cook serves fake, unpalatable Dragon Cuisine to the party, he is the only one who does not feel anything wrong. But subverted in the first season, when he refuses to eat fish guts.

* Similarly, the title character of ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' can eat any food. In the very first season, she ate '''decomposing salad''' and complimented Touma for the "revitalizing" sour taste. Touma, who was purposely trying to scare her away with inedible food, was thoroughly {{squick}}ed out by it.

* Tobimaro Mizunokoji from ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' is notorious for his ability to eat baseballs, due to his inept TrainingFromHell regime that saw him stranded with nothing else to eat other than the baseballs he'd brought along to try and remedy his AthleticallyChallenged status. He's also shown eating a bowl of rice, ceramic bowl and all, in one story, but he's most famous for the baseball eating, to the point he instinctively tries to catch and eat any baseball thrown or hit his way.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': The OrganicTechnology monsters left behind by the NeglectfulPrecursors called the Old World are this, which is explained by them having {{Nanomachine}} filled organs which process what they eat. It's typically used to modify or grow themselves, grow new monsters out of their body, and replace ammo for WeaponizedAnimal types. This is explored when the MadScientist Yatsubiyashi injects said nanomachines into the young Tiol, creating a TragicMonster who experiences HorrorHunger from this causing him to eat metal and human flesh, which really causes some SanitySlippage. Being actually sapient, it's used to create RemoteBody copies of himself amongst many other designs.

* Kumoko, the monstrous spider protagonist of ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'', subsists practically exclusively on whatever she can kill or find in the labyrinth. Most of her catches taste absolutely horrible, and tend to be extremely poisonous, paralyzing, or otherwise hazardous to consume. (Although one upside is that she gains resistance from the exposure.) Also, eating another spider got her the less-than-pleasant "kin eater" title, which gifted her with the ominous "taboo" skill (it's strongly hinted that something terrible will happen if it reaches maximum).

* Dead Master in ''Manga/BlackRockShooter: Innocent Soul'' doesn't just [[YourSoulIsMine eat souls]], she also, while sleeping in the same bed as Rock, ate a teddy bear and half of Rock's pig tail.



* While some of the cast of ''Franchise/DragonBall'' are prime examples of [[BigEater Big Eaters]], some of them would also fall under this heading.
** In his youth, Goku was very naive about the outside world and thought with his stomach a lot, which more than once lead to him believing a person, thing or concept he'd never heard of before [[IsItSomethingYouEat was something to eat]].
** In his first appearance, Yajirobe kills, cooks, and eats one of Piccolo Daimao's monstrous dinosaur/demon-like henchmen. Even ''Goku'' thought that was weird.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Buu; sure, he ''did'' eat almost 80% of the Earth's population, but he has to turn his prey into food ''first''. [[HulkSpeak Dog food no taste good]].
** Syn Shenron from ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' consumes the seven Dragon Balls to gain the power of the previously defeated Shadow Dragons, becoming Omega Shenron. Later when Syn attempts to do so again, Goku decides to eat the Four Star Ball (his grandfather's keepsake) to prevent Omega from reaching full power and to keep Nouva Shenron from being corrupted. While Goku's attempt is more painful, he was successful in what he planned.
** Vegeta's first appearance has him eating an insectoid soldier he had presumably killed earlier. It would seem that extreme omnivory is a Saiyan trait.



* When the characters from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' are discussing what they would do if aliens invaded, England pointed out that they would have a lot of dead aliens laying around afterwards, which prompted China to exclaim, "Leave the cooking to me!". Kinda justified since China is a SupremeChef in canon ''and'' one of the NationalStereotypes about Chinese people is that they'll eat anything.
* Mehitak, one of the five Nodos in ''Anime/HeroicAge'' may avert the ''letter'' of this trope, but embodies the spirit of it to a degree only surpassed by Matter Eater Lad himself. Specifically, his Tribe, the Poros, don't eat anything living - which includes fruits and vegetables. Instead, they can - and will - eat any dead matter. Including metal. At one point, he eats a plate of bulletproof superalloy from a pile of HumongousMecha spare parts and comments that it is 'a bit bitter'. He still decided to have another one, though, much to the consternation of the HumongousMecha's OWNER.



* Eriko Futami from ''Manga/KimiKiss'' has been called taste blind due to her eating stuff like Berry Ramen and putting honey and mayonnaise on chips.



* Suu the SlimeGirl in ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' is immune to being poisoned and can eat anything that's organic. She's the only member of the cast who can safely eat [[LethalChef Miia's]] cooking. She told Kimihito that she'd be happy to just survive on a diet of garbage in order to make his life easier by reducing how many members of his UnwantedHarem he has to feed, but he said that since she's part of the family she should eat with everyone else.



* Yue from ''Franchise/{{Negima}}'' drinks weird beverages such as salt water.

Also, eating another spider got her the less-than-pleasant "kin eater" title, which gifted her with the ominous "taboo" skill (it's strongly hinted that something terrible will happen if it reaches maximum).
* Though most of the time she's eating carrots, Ryo-Ohki of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' is this as she's shown taking a bite of Mihoshi's gun when she finally confronts the "dreaded criminal".



* In the manga ''Toto'' (not to be confused with its successor ''Toto! The Wonderful Adventure'') by Yuuko Osada, Toto is a dog/dragon that becomes the main hero's left arm. Its power? Devouring ''anything'' and reproducing it. Eating a squad's worth of machine gun and becoming a 10-barrel version of all those machine guns combined? Check. Eating a panzer armor to become a big slab of steel shield? Check. Eating an entire theme park to use anything from go-karts to roller coasters as a weapon? Check too. And oh, it once ate a {{BFS}}; carnage ensues.

When Livebearer taunts him for eating the equivalent of dynamite, Toriko retorts that there is no such thing as a "miss" ingredient -- to him, all ingredients are blessings.
** When the [[KnightOfCerebus Gourmetcorp]] attack the Cooking Festival, Grinpatch effortlessly sucks up Coco's poison- and asks for seconds.
** Eating Acacia's fish dish ANOTHER allows you to become this. It's actually required to become this since other parts of his full course can't be eaten otherwise.
** [[spoiler:Demon King Neo]] may be the most extreme example in the series and possibly all fiction, surpassing even Matter Eater Lad. One of its main methods of fighting is to eat the energy of its opponents' attacks. It even eats [[spoiler:a supernova]].
** [[spoiler:Demon King Neo]] may have a rival in [[spoiler:the fully mature GOD]]. In its debut it eats [[spoiler:the ''Moon'']].
** IGO President Ichiryu has a tendency to eat unusual ingredients that most people wouldn't consider fit for consumption, such as a bowl full of Million Seeds. At one point he even eats a ''wine cork''.
