| Eat-Man (Manga) | comment |
Eat-Man is a manga by Akihito Yoshitomi, which was serialized in Dengeki Comic Gao! from 1996 to 2003 and compiled into 19 volumes. It's probably best summarized as an episodic parade of Schizo Tech Cyberpunk Wild West.The hero of the story is Bolt Crank, a badass dude who has the ability to eat anything, then re-create it, whole and functional, from his arm. This is, more often than not, a ridiculously large gun of some kind. He typically travels the world, righting wrongs and spending a surprising amount of time helping young couples get together despite enormous odds. A 12-episode anime adaptation was made in 1997, animated by Studio DEEN and directed by Koichi Mashimo, followed by another, named Eat-Man '98 and directed by Toshifumi Kawase, in the following year. | |

Exactly What I Aimed At: Bolt throws a sword in Stella's direction. She thinks he missed... Until the guy coming at her from behind picks it up and cuts her in half. | |

The Rival | |
| Eat-Man (Manga) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: A few, some self-proclaimed only and others who are at least a bit credible. Bolt has apparently inspired many explorer wannabes to follow in his footsteps as well, and all of them have a strange desire to take his title. | |

| Eat-Man (Manga) / int_1da5941e | comment |
The Quiet One: Bolt rarely ever talks and changes his expression even less often, though this is more of a personal quirk rather than due to any form of psychological issues. He's simply quiet. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Warren. He hears that Mana controls a superweapon, and he knows that Mana is holding onto the last bolt of a device for Bolt to eat. He makes the logical assumption. He's wrong. | |

Food-Based Superpowers | |
| Eat-Man (Manga) / int_226d9779 | comment |
Food-Based Superpowers: Combined with Extreme Omnivore. Bolt Crank has the power to eat anything (especially metal), and then produce the fully functioning original item at will. Naturally, this usually translates to a hero who can pull out massive firepower when he needs it most (though, mercifully, he pulls it from his arm rather than his ass). | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Eat-Man (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Series MVT. Typically when Bolt is first introduced, he'll be chowing down on a bunch of screws or something. Expect them to turn out to be the final pieces of some massive Wave-Motion Gun. Lampshaded at one point when Bolt actually panics after (not quite) losing a tidbit. Its purpose is never revealed, though. | |

Implacable Man: Bolt never fails to come back and finish his job even after he starts getting visibly injured. He was Immune to Bullets (or at least impossible to hit) earlier in the series, as well. There was a point where he survived getting hit by a missile which failed to explode and became embedded into his chest thanks to a train he ate. Seriously. | |

Insane Troll Logic: Hard was hired by Stella to bring Eurydice back to her sister.

His logic in refusing to do so is that Stella was the one to hire him to do that, now that there are "so many Stellas" it's "Only logical to finish what Bolt hired me for first." | |

Exact Words | |
| Eat-Man (Manga) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Bolt sometimes takes jobs from very shady or outright evil people, and being a professional, never breaks his contracts. Every single time though, he will interpret the contract extremely literally and end up screwing his contractor. Hard, possibly inspired by seeing Bolt in action, tries to pull this during the Eurydice arc. It almost doesn't work. | |
