Context VillainousGlutton / AnimeAndManga

Go To

1* Buccha from ''Manga/AirGear'' was like this before his HeelFaceTurn. He's a subversion (possibly a double one), though. He's a BigEater who looks very fat... but he's only got about 6% body fat. He looks the way he does due to blood pooling in his stomach from overeating (which means that his gluttony ''is'' the reason he looks that way). When he exerts himself, his ridiculously sculpted body is revealed.
2* The Titans from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. They exist to eat. They don't even have digestive organs. So when they get full, they puke up the people they devoured, and go eating some more. [[spoiler: But not out of gluttony. They eat people on instinct because they might be Titan Shifters, and eating a Titan Shifter is the only way for a Mindless Titan to regain humanity.]]
3* ''Manga/BlackButler:'' Sebastian's entire reason for [[DealWithTheDevil making a deal to be Ciel's butler]], and all the hard work that comes with that, is so that he can eat his soul once their contract is fulfilled. To that end, he "seasons" up the already suffering boy's soul by corrupting him further.
4* ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': [[{{Beelzebub}} Beelzebumon]] is known as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. While the Beelzebumon appearing in the series might not be a member of them, he does display the Deadly Sin associated with the Demon Lord: gluttony. Beelzebumon loads the data of the Digimon he kills into himself, making him stronger and stronger in the progress, to the point that he's able to defeat Megidramon, who is known as one of the Four Great Dragons. He isn't even above to load the data of Digimon his enemy has killed just to get a power boost. However, after getting his life spared by the person whose Partner Digimon he has just killed and consumed, he begins to question his gluttony for power and realizes how empty he feels. When he returns to the Real World and reunites with his two partners, their PowerOfFriendship and PowerOfLove give him the true strength he has desired for long, turning him into an AscendedDemon and he abandons his gluttony for good.
5* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
6** King Gurumes from ''Anime/DragonBallCurseOfTheBloodRubies'' qualifies--the Blood Rubies turned him into a monstrous beast with an insatiable appetite which only grows the more he eats.
7** From the original ''Dragon Ball'' anime, both Buyon and Giran fit this trope.
8** Yakon from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' also fits, especially since it [[DeathByGluttony ends up in his demise.]]
9** Majin Buu (most prominently Fat Buu, but Super Buu also loves indulging his SweetTooth) in the Buu Saga of ''Z''. It says a lot that [[ImAHumanitarian he transforms people into candy]] and eats ''them''...
10* His [[AdiposeRex weight]] is questionable due to his outfit, but [[RoyalBrat Earl Tyrant]] of ''Anime/FinalFantasyUnlimited'' definitely fits the glutton part. 90% of his scenes take place with him eating something or other, [[spoiler:usually made from the negative emotions of his "subjects".]]
11* [[PropheticName Gluttony]] from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. He was ''made'' that way and he can eat anyone and anything.
12* The wolf from the ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics'' episode "The Fox And The Wolf", who's always complaining about wanting to eat. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard It costs him in the end]].
13* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'''s BigBad [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the Major]] is the only fat character in the cast, causing a few potshots about his weight from other characters, including one of his own minions, though it doesn't seem to affect him. Additionally, some of the vampires are seen ''gorging'' themselves during the series, they simply don't get bigger because of it.
14%%* Admiral Donan from ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor''.
15* Polpo from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind''. Due to his position in the mob, he gets to stay well protected in a [[LuxuryPrisonSuite posh prison cell]], surrounded by food. His LaserGuidedKarma hits him when Giornio changes a gun into a banana and tricks Polpo into shooting himself.
16* Subverted in ''Manga/KishinDoujiZenki''. One of the first monsters that Chiaki and Zenki face in the anime is one of these, but just like almost every monster in this series he turns out to be an average person under the {{brainwashing}} effects of the Karma Seeds; normally he's just a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who ''happens'' to be a BigEater [[spoiler: and the Principal of Chiaki's high school]], and when de-brainwashed he returns to his original self [[TraumaInducedAmnesia without any memories of what happened]]. The episode even has a short scene where the future victim's large appetite is PlayedForLaughs and offers a HUGE contrast to his greedy behavior as a monster.
17* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', there is a one-shot villain appropriately named "Glutton God" who leads a small group of bandits who steal food from others during the DarkestHour where villains are running rampant through the streets (he even appears to have a power that looks like he is producing grease). Glutton God aims to claim all of the food for himself, but is quickly taken out by Best Jeanist.
18* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
19** Wapol, who actually has eating as a ''power'': He ate the Baku-Baku (Munch-Munch) Fruit, which not only lets him eat ''anything'', but incorporate the aspects of what he's eaten into his body. In a bizarre subversion though, Wapol ends up being LeanAndMean as well: he actually eats ''his own excess bulk'' to fit through a door. Nobody knows how that works. Ask the writer. [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum That'll be good for a laugh.]]
20** Commodore Nelson is extremely obese, to the point of immobility, and is almost always seen eating. Alvida, a villainess from an early arc exhibits a distinct cowboy motif and so much pork it's a wonder she ''can'' move. She's utterly convinced that she's the most beautiful thing on the seas. Later on she reappears, having eaten the Slip-Slip fruit. In addition to giving her a smooth, frictionless complexion, it seems to have made her excess weight "slip" off as well; she makes a point of stating that "the only change is that my acne is gone", though, so she might not have changed her diet any. (Her name was Alvida the Iron Mace)
21** And now we have the recently-introduced "Big Mom", who [[spoiler: torches countries [[DisproportionateRetribution for failing to deliver candy on time to satisfy her]] SweetTooth, and, oh yeah, ''[[ImAHumanitarian eats her own crewmen alive]] '''[[ForTheEvulz just because]]'''''. Later events show she has an eating disorder outright, that leads to bouts of hunger-induced rage in which everything between her and a desired meal will get destroyed and devoured without her even being ''aware'' of it]].
22* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Queen Esmeraude. In episode 76, she binges on pastries alongside Usagi (who is quite gluttonous herself), [[JabbaTableManners to the disturbance of all the customers inside]].
23* Earthquake from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' is a tremendously large and fat ''ninja'', who is actually [[{{Acrofatic}} rather agile]].
24* Prime Minister Kamiya in ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'', an incredibly corrupt and greedy high-class politician who is also fat and a BigEater. [[spoiler: It's played even straighter when he becomes an even fatter and uglier Euphoric.]]
25* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has several, as a result of the strong focus on food and consumption.
26** Rize Kamishiro is an unusual example. While she looks like a beautiful and slim woman, she is actually an infamous Ghoul known as "Binge Eater" for her tendency to go on brutal feeding sprees. While normally Ghouls only need to eat a single human about once every month or so, she steals hunting grounds from weaker Ghouls and throws any Ward she enters into chaos with her constant feeding.
27** Noro, one of the commanders of [[TheSyndicate Aogiri Tree]]. A towering, silent figure primarily known for his abnormal appetite and an unusual smell of rotting flesh. He uses multiple CombatTentacles ending in large mouths to devour anything (or anyone) unlucky enough to be within range.
28** In the sequel, [[spoiler: Seidou Takizawa]] has become one. His transformation into a deranged HalfHumanHybrid is cemented by his enjoyment of going on killing sprees and feasting on [[FaceMonsterTurn former comrades]]. He's almost always splattered with blood and gore, messily eating his victims in front of their friends.
29* Midora from ''Manga/{{Toriko}}''. Ever since he was ''born'' he's been cursed with a hunger that cannot be satiated. He is the biggest and most disgusting eater in a series full of big eaters and he founded an entire organization of like-minded individuals. One of the reasons he is searching for the legendary ingredient "GOD" is because it may be the only food that can satisfy him.
30** [[ExaggeratedTrope Taken to the extreme]] with the [[spoiler:Neo demon, main villain of the manga]] who can eat everything and everyone on the planet in less than a month, and ''will'' do it, if someone doesn't stop him. Not only is this thing considered a treat of a galactic level, just because he ''eats to much'', but also he [[spoiler:[[ExtremeOmnivore can eat pretty much everything]], [[NoSell including enemy attacks]].]]
31* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' has Legato Bluesummers, TheDragon to the series' main villain, is a much more [[{{Bishonen}} lean]] example of this trope, but he's an evil, ruthless sadist who's [[BigEater frequently seen eating]], a trait the author wanted to make a humorous quirk for the character, but instead served to make him creepier. Case in point: he even offers a little girl a hot dog at one point...and said hot dog is implicitly made of [[ImAHumanitarian human flesh...]]
32* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'':
33** {{Beelzebub}} of is the second youngest of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Stakes of Purgatory]]. At one point in the side materials, she gives Valentine's Day chocolate to Gohda, the Ushiromiya family chef so that he'll return the favor on White Day (and sure enough, he immediately flies to Belgium). She's even willing [[ITasteDelicious to use bits of]] [[ImAHumanitarian her own flesh]] if she thinks it will make a good meal. She [[MsFanservice isn't fat]], though.
34** She's regarded as the gourmet of the Seven Stakes, and while she is in fact a BigEater, she's also [[PickyEater notoriously picky]] about her meals.
