* Explicitly justified in ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': Denji's years of scrounging poverty have turned him into an ExtremeOmnivore who reflexively eats whatever is put in his mouth, no matter how disgusting it tastes. This is useful when fighting devils, as it lets him eat their (apparently awful-tasting) blood to fuel his powers. It backfires when Himeno gives him an open-mouth kiss and ''vomits'' in his mouth, which he swallows and has to puke back up.
