The best place to ask questions like this (if something in a work is an example of a trope) is on the thread Is this an example?
, which is dedicated to answering them.

This trope is about someone having the ability to gain another persons power by eating a part of them. But there is one example that I don't think counts regarding My Hero Academia character Tamaki Amajiki/Suneater.
Tamaki has the Quirk, Manifest, that allows him to gain the attributes of whatever he eats, like gaining talons and wings from eating chicken or a cattle hoof from eating beef. On both the Character page and on the main trope page it references one scene in which Tamaki manifests crystals after he eats a small crystal shard that was made by a villain who can make crystals with his Quirk. However, I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as an example, as Tamaki is simply manifesting the crystal itself, not copying the guys power to make crystals. Especially since I couldn't find any official source that states that he is copying the power or that it is an ability of his Quirk to copy powers.
This is why I don't think it really counts as an example of Cannibalism Superpower However, I wasn't sure whether it was right of me to remove it without asking first.
