History FireBreathingDiner / AnimeAndManga

* In ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', an entire episode had an EscalatingWar between Kawasaki's restaurant and Dedede's in making spicier and spicier foods. Everybody ended up doing this, except Kirby. Finally food spicy enough to affect him was found, just in time, as the flame spewing Kirby did allowed him to beat the MonsterOfTheWeek.

* While the victims are more likely to breathe smoke then flames, this is pretty much the result of anyone who eats food made by Lum in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''. As part of their BizarreAlienBiology, Onis have a ''much'' higher tolerance for spice, and this desire to replicate her native tastes means Lum's {{Alien Lunch}}es are too hot for humans to handle. Case in point, the first time she ever cooks in the anime, she gives Ataru a homemade lollipop... stuffed full of ''cayenne peppers''.
** The stuff the oni eat is so hot that a candy considered as sweet by Ten, Lum's little cousin, causes a swallow - who normally don't even retgister spicy food as such - ist visibly distressed.

* Happens occasionally in ''Manga/OnePiece'', usually courtesy of Usopp's [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Tabasco Star]], which he usually tricks people to eat. The most prominent example would be when Mr. 5 lets out a big ball of fire after swallowing one. But when Usopp was given a grape laced with [[UpToEleven Tatababasco]], he actually subverts the trope by jumping clean past it and straight into NightmareFace.

* In one episode of ''Manga/SuperGals'', Ran accidentally becomes a meek girly-girl. Her rival, Mami Honda, tries to crack Ran's unflappable smile by spiking a couple of fast food burgers with Tabasco sauce and hot mustard, which Ran eats without even breaking a sweat. Mami tries a burger herself and suffers from this effect, even after taking a drink. However, Ran does notice a burning in her mouth (though no fire) after turning back to normal.

* One episode of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' had some of Ash's Pokémon eating some spicy food; the one who ended up breathing fire was ''Squirtle''...

** In ''Anime/MaiOtome0Sifr'', Bruce Blan de Windbloom pretends to be drunk, then takes a drink and spits fire in Kid's face to distract him long enough for Lena to overpower the Schwarz agents in the train car in order to rescue Sifr.

* Dora-nichov, one of ''[[Anime/{{Doraemon}} The Doraemons]]'' spin-off characters has the ability to transform into a wolf when he looks at a moon-like object and can breathe fire when eating something spicy.

* From the ''Anime/MaiHime'' series:

* ''Anime/FushigiboshiNoFutagohime'': An earlier episode of the first season involved Fine and Rein wanting to try "Flame Fried Rice" and finding that the spice needed wasn't present. A newer, even stronger spice was found and "Ultimate Flame Fried Rice" was born. As thanks, the chef cooking the stuff let Fine and Rein be the first to taste it. Their faces turned red for a few seconds...and then they breathed fire.

* In Anime/TaikoNoTatsujinClayAnime, Katsu breathes fire after eating spicy curry.

** Completely averted by Rock Lee, who has a fondness for the stuff... He and Neji at a contest would play out akin to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas and Gimli drinking]].

* In ''Anime/KirbyOfTheStars'', an entire episode had an EscalatingWar between Kawasaki's restaurant and Dedede's in making spicier and spicier foods. Everybody ended up doing this, except Kirby. Finally food spicy enough to affect him was found, just in time, as the flame spewing Kirby did allowed him to beat the MonsterOfTheWeek.

* Yasuna's curry in KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl reduced Yasuta to this and the rest of her guests aren't in much better condition. She likes it just fine though.

* The episode in ''Manga/SailorMoon R'', the one with the upgrade to the locket, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlSVpj28oR0 has the Rei Eats Wasabi scene that was cut from the dub.]] (starts at 4:32) (It was actually a prank from Usagi, who put wasabi paste in a sandwich and then gave it to Rei...)
