History ExtremeOmnivore / AnimeAndManga

* Guu from ''[[Anime/JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Haré+Guu]]'' is capable of eating ''anything'', up to elephants, whales, and people with a single bite. In one occasion she even ate such metaphysical things as another person's dream of herself. She is fully capable of spitting out anything she's eaten completely unharmed, making the effect comically disturbing rather than disturbingly sinister.

** Syn Shenron from 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.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Nel is capable of eating anything. The databooks mention that when she's hungry she looks at her servants in an odd way that make them fear she's going to eat them. One of her trademark powers, which no other arrancar shares, is her ability to ''eat'' ceros, combine the eaten cero with her own power and regurgitate back at her enemy at double the power it originally was. Her AnimalMotif is the goat-antelope and she has the ExtremeOmniGoat jokes to go with it.
** Liltotto Lamperd from the Vandereich has this as her special power... [[ImAHumanitarian and she uses it to eat several shinigami]].

* All Dragon Slayers in ''Manga/FairyTail'' have this as an ability. However, they're best at eating their natural element (Natsu eats fire, Gajeel eats metal, etc.) This leads to some WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway when we meet the Sky Dragon Slayer...who eats air.[[note:]]Though, when you factor in the fact that the Dragon Slayers need to eat their elements to stay at full power (Natsu was once nearly defeated because he couldn't find any fire to eat), and remember just how ''abundant'' air is...[[/note]]

** Simon won't eat anything in sight, but he's able to eat [[LethalChef Nia's HORRID cooking]] and enjoy it. It's assumed Nia herself eats this too.

* Taro (and his family) from the manga ''Manga/YamadaTaroMonogatari'', due to being [[PerpetualPoverty exceedingly poor and half-starving most of the time]], is capable of digesting pretty much ANYTHING without trouble. Including a [[MushroomSamba whole bag of narcotics]] that he mistakes as flour.

* 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.

* Ga-chan, the weird flying space baby from ''DoctorSlump'', has been known to eat cars and other inanimate objects. The only thing she - or they - won't eat is rubber.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'''s Gluttony can (and will) eat anything. ''Anything''. Live people and scenery included. Having acid for saliva certainly helps.

* Guu from ''[[JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Haré+Guu]]'' is capable of eating ''anything'', up to elephants, whales, and people with a single bite. In one occasion she even ate such metaphysical things as another person's dream of herself. She is fully capable of spitting out anything she's eaten completely unharmed, making the effect comically disturbing rather than disturbingly sinister.
* Crunch in ''MightyOrbots'' is an extreme omnivore robot by design, as his main function is the team's power source. He can convert anything he eats into energy to use in the team's [[CombiningMecha united form]].

* ''OnePiece'' villain Wapol has the powers of the Munch-Munch Fruit, which gives him the power to eat anything and duplicate its effects. For example, he can swallow a cannon and fire it at will, and at one point he eats his flunkies Chess and Kuromarimo, then [[TwoBeingsOneBody combines them]] into a four-armed super-flunky, Chessmarimo (though as Sanji points out, they're just wearing one costume while one stands on the other's shoulders). Wapol even manages to eat ''himself'' in order to slim down enough to fit through a narrow door.

* Gible of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' is able to eat things like rocks, bicycles (though he leaves the rubber intact), and an ''entire Team Rocket mecha''.

* More of Extreme Omni-drinkers, but hey. From ''ThePrinceOfTennis'', Shuusuke Fuji and Kei Tanishi are able to drink down GargleBlaster-type concoctions that usually knock ANYONE else but them out. The only exception would be Inui's Aozu, which knocked the lights outta Fuji once.
** Technically, the only difference between most food and drink is the water content. Sports tonics, protein shakes, etc tend to straddle the line.
* One of the ''RanmaOneHalf'' OAV series has the minor character Kurumi, a BigEater who can wolf down an entire feast prepared by Akane Tendo, the resident LethalChef (with minors in CordonBleughChef), and not only consider it delicious, but actually ask for more.
* Plue, the mascot of ''RaveMaster''. His diet consists almost entirely of suckers, but it used to be based around beetles. He's also eaten a sign and a porcelain doll.

* Simon from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' won't eat anything in sight, but he's able to eat [[LethalChef Nia's HORRID cooking]] and enjoy it. It's assumed Nia herself eats this too.
** In the HighSchoolAU Gurren Gakuen-hen, [[RatedMForManly Kamina]] also likes Nia's cooking.

* Eriko Futami from ''KimiKiss'' has been called taste blind due to her eating stuff like Berry Ramen and putting honey and mayonnaise on chips.
* Yue from ''{{Negima}}'' drinks weird beverages such as salt water.
* While some of the cast of ''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]].

* The eponymous ''{{Toriko}}'' graduates to this in the "Gourmet Casino" arc. With the help of Komatsu's cooking skills [[spoiler:and Coco's BatmanGambit]], Toriko is able to eat ''explosive and poisonous'' ingredients. 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 characters from ''WebComic/AxisPowersHetalia'' 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.

* Near the end of the Fishman Island arc, Zoro and Sanji get into another spat, with Sanji threatening to put knives and other sharp things in Zoro's food. When Zoro is next seen eating, he's making loud crunching noises, and an SBS confirmed that yes, Sanji made good on his threats.

* In the aptly-named anime and manga ''{{Eat-Man}}'', the hero Bolt Crank could consume just about any tool (usually a gun of some kind) and later reproduce it out of his arm, intact even if he ate it in pieces.

** Hydreigon, a Dark and Dragon-type Pokemon, is said to have the ability to eat ''absolutely anything''. This isn't helped by its supposed natural BloodKnight instincts.

* Similarly, the title character of ''ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'' 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.

* Gluttony's {{Expy}} [[MeaningfulName Gula]] from ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' can eats everything, including Precure attacks (though it backfires in Episode 26). [[IAmAHumanitarian He even tries to eat Cure Diamond]] in Episode 23.

** In his first appearance, Yajirobe kills, cooks, and eats one of Piccolo Daimao's monstrous dinosaur-like henchmen.

** When the [[KnightOfCerberus Gourmetcorp]] attack the Cooking Festival, Grinpatch effortlessly sucks up Coco's poison- and asks for seconds.

* Orihime Inoue of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' is a combination of this trope and CordonBleughChef. She's well-known for creating horrible combinations of food (usually involving red bean paste), and loves them. Most characters get sick just hearing about it, however a couple of people (who aren't human) appreciate her cooking.
** This is actually [[NeverLiveItDown exaggerated]]: while Orihime's tastes are weird according to others, she can also cook normally and likes more average meals like cheese and butter. In the X-Cution arc she actually works part time in a bakery, and so far the pastries and bread-based meals she's learned to make are fine; also, she's seen pestering Riruka for...something as mundane as donuts.

* All Dragon Slayers of ''Manga/FairyTail'' have this as an ability. However, they're best at eating their natural element (Natsu eats fire, Gajeel eats metal, etc.) This leads to some WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway when we meet the Sky Dragon Slayer...who eats air.

* ''OnePiece'' villain Wapol has the powers of the Munch-Munch Fruit, which gives him the power to eat anything and duplicate its effects. For example, he can swallow a cannon and fire it at will, and at one point he eats his flunkies Chess and Kuromarimo, then [[BiologicalMashUp combines them]] into a four-armed super-flunky, Chessmarimo (though as Sanji points out, they're just wearing one costume while one stands on the other's shoulders). Wapol even manages to eat ''himself'' in order to slim down enough to fit through a narrow door.

* ''FullmetalAlchemist'''s Gluttony can (and will) eat anything. ''Anything''. Live people and scenery included. Having acid for saliva certainly helps.
** In the manga when they are [[spoiler:trapped inside Gluttony]], Ed seems pretty comfortable with eating boots to survive (probably as a result of his foraging on the island Izumi left him and Al on). Ling eats one too, though he's less pleased about it.
