The Most Extreme : Eater

Join me as 1 start counting down ten of the most extreme eaters!

Number 10

Our first contender is a former fighter from the Meiji era. He often pig out at the Akabeko restaurant and always leave without paying. That's right, he's Sagara Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin!

Scene:

Kaoru reached out for a particularly juicy beef, but Sanosuke knocked her chopsticks aside and grabbed the meat. It's in his stomach before anyone could say, "Oi!"

Scene 2:

"Megumi-chan, can Sanosuke stay for dinner?" Ayame called.

"Alright," Megumi said. "I think we have enough for two more person."

"What does she mean by that?" Suzume asked.

"It means I eat twice as much as any of you," Sanosuke answered with a grin.

From what we know, not even his fractured right hand can stop him from eating.

"Sagara is not who anyone in their right minds will rely on," Saito said. "Like I said in an episode, he needs to borrow a chicken's brain just to understand what I'm saying. Putting aside these negative facts of him, he is a determined man. His determination to eat no matter what is what he thrives on."

"Hey!" Sanosuke yelled. "Who ask you to sit there and judge me, narrow eyes?"

Sagara Sanosuke is secured in the tenth position, and if you think he has what it takes to be a big eater, think again.

Number 9

Our second contender in our countdown is a mysterious FBI agent from the United States of America. He works in the KIRA case and is only known as L to the world. Correct, he's L from Death Note!

Scene:

"Gentlemen, please leave your cell phones here on this table," L said to the few brave Biro members left.

"He doesn't want us to record the meeting," one guy whispered to his colleague knowingly.

"No," L said. "I just don't want any distractions."

When everyone is seated, L launched his observations as he carefully ate the snacks on the table.

"As we can see," Misa says, "L loves eating from the very beginning! Ooh, that muffin looks good! Why can't I come into the picture here with all those scrumptious muffins?"

Scene 2:

L watched Raito on screen. Raito is locked up for a week by now, but he had hardly moved from the spot. L devoured cakes and muffins, drank gallons of tea and coffee, and yet he didn't take any toilet breaks!

"L is mean for eating while he watched my poor Raito starve!" Misa says indignantly.

Imagine if we can eat like L. We could sit and eat non-stop without having got to visit the bathroom once! This is a pretty good advantage, especially if you have to use a smelly public toilet.

If you think L is a pretty good eater, you will be surprised at our next contender!

Number 8

Our next contender is a 16 year old boy, or girl when he touches cold water. That's right, he's Saotome Ranma from Ranma 1/2!

Scene:

Ranma's stomach rumbled. "Man, I'm so hungry," he grumbled. Suddenly...

"Give it back!" the chef yelled as he chased a bald man.

"I'm going to eat!" the bald man called gleefully as he spooned some porridge from a bowl.

Without a single hesitation, Ranma snatched the bowl of porridge, devoured every single scrap and kicked the bald man into oblivion all at once

"This is one of the many scenes of Ranma stealing food," Ranma's father, Saotome Genma, informed us. Someone accidentally sprayed him with some cold water and turned him into a panda. Unable to speak, Genma wrote this on a board: Check out the next scene.

Scene 2:

Yohiyo sat down in front of a feast and was about to start eating when Ranma stepped on his head, cleaned the plates, and ran off all in a second.

"He's very good at fighting and eating," Shampoo chirped. "And no one can blame him! A strong man like him deserve a good meal. I think I'll make another bowl of ramen for Ranma!"

Ranma's ability to eat fast proved useful when he joined a competition for the fastest eater with Pikore. But some food just can't be digested.

Scene 3:

"Everyone, try my food!" Akane yelled excitedly as she rushed to the living room.

In a split second, Tendo Soun disappeared, Saotome Genma packed for another outdoor training and Ranma is already waiting at the front door.

"Where are you going?" Akane asked Ranma.

"Somewhere where we needn't taste your food," came his blunt reply.

If you think Ranma can top the list of the greatest eater, think again as we move on to our next contender.

Number 7

For number seven in our countdown, we have a dark skinned young detective from Osaka. Meet Hattori Heiji, the son of Kyoto's Superintendent.

Scene:

"Don't forget my rice!" Heiji yelled.

"How can you still eat?" Mouri asked in amazement.

"I'm often hungry," Heiji explained. "I've already digested the ramen earlier."

"Heiji is always hungry," Conan says. "The scene above was when he invited us (him, Mouri and Ran) to Osaka."

Scene 2:

"Is it alright that we are not invited?" Ran asked.

"Don't worry, it's not a problem since your father is a famous detective!" Kazuha said. "The only problem is..."

She looked at Heiji helping himself to a plateful of food.

"That was when we were at a party for K3," Kazuha explains. "It is not an uncommon sight to see him pigging out."

Heiji may be Osaka's detective's greatest eater, but our next contender is Japan's greatest eater himself!

Number 6

Heiji is a pretty good eater, but was proven to be second at an eating competition with Mouri Kogoro.

Scene:

At Ran's house on the telly...

"Wow! Mouri Kogoro has just finished his twelfth bowl! Looks like Heiji is done for!"

"So they went to Osaka just for this?" Sonoko asked as Mouri stacked another bowl, his stomach bloated.

"It's quite fun," Ran says.

"Hm! The scene above just goes to show that I'm the best," Mouri says.

Yeah, the best eater.

Imagine downing 12 bowls of ramen all at once. We would be quite fed up with it! While Mouri may be Japan's detective biggest eater, he is still no match for our oncoming contender!

Number 5

For number 5 in our countdown, we have an American football player, a Linebacker. Meet Kurita Ryokan from Eyeshield 21.

Scene:

Mamori bought a feast from KFC for the whole team and everybody tucked in. Kurita fitted a whole chicken into his mouth!

"Fatty is a big eater," Hiruma says. "This is nothing compared to when he bought too much puffs."

Scene 2:

"I'm going," Hiruma says after sitting and waiting the whole evening.

"Maybe we should wait," Kurita said.

"Don't bother," Hiruma replied, walking away. "You too should go home."

Kurita stares sadly at the 100 puffs he bought. All 100 of them uneaten. He started eating them, sobbing at the fact that no one was interested to enter the team.

Nice puffs, he thought, sniffing.

"Of course, this is before Sena joined the team," Hiruma says. "After Eyeshield 21 made his appearance, we have people beating to get to us! There were not enough puffs to go around and even our perfect prefect, Mamori, sneakily ate one."

Kurita is a humongous eater, but he will be dwarfed by our next contender.

Number 4

Our next contender may be small in size but she can definitely dwarf any fatty. Coming in on number 4 is Lirin from Gensomaden Saiyuki.

Scene:

"Let me go, you droopy eyes!" Lirin yelled, struggling.

"Want some?' Sanzo asked, holding out a pork bun.

"Yes, please!" Lirin said eagerly and snatched it.

Scene 2:

Sanzo barely touched his fried noodle when Lirin whizzed past him and snatched it.

"Nyaha!" Lirin yelled.

"What is that brat still doing here?" Sanzo asked dangerously. Hakkai and Yaone calmed him down.

Not satisfied with Sanzo's food alone, she stole Goku's share as well and downed everything while being chased.

"Lirin-sama can eat a lot," Yaone says. "And she likes eating. Kougaiji-sama often promised her food if she behaves."

It comes to no surprise that she came up with the stupid idea of using a mountain of beef buns to bait the Sanzo-ikkou. She may be small, and her brain smaller, but she could really tuck in.

Yet she's only number four in our countdown. Our next contender is even smaller in size, but he still can manage a tenth helping of everything!

Number 3

We're now down to our three finalists. For number 3 in our countdown, meet Kero Beros from Cardcaptor Sakura.

Scene:

"Where are you going, Kero?" Sakura asked as he glided away after his spagheti.

"Playing video game all day makes me tired," Kero said. "I'm taking a nap, good night."

He disappeared down the corridor but doubled back a minute later.

"Make sure to wake me up for desert!" he said and slowly flew back down the corridor.

"That dirty stuffed toy had a large slice of cake before his spagheti," Shaoran says. "And he had the more spagheti than any of us, yet he still want desert. He's greedy."

Need I say more? Kero may be the tiniest big eater, but our next contender can eat in the speed of light!

Number 2

For number 2 in the countdown, we have Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura. Yukito is actually another form of Yue, another one of Clow Reed's creation, but he has a bigger appetite than Kero's.

Scene:

"Good morning!" Yukito said brightly.

Touya turned and sweatdropped when he saw his friend carrying a large paper bag stuffed to the brim from the bakers.

"I got hungry," Yukito explained.

"Yukito eats a lot," Touya says when asked for comment. "I usually cook double when I invite him to dinner."

Yukito is second in our countdown, and second he'll stay for the next contender, the king of eaters, will definitely shadow him!

Number 1

We've seen 9 contenders earlier. They're the best of the best, but only one can top the chart. For number 1 in our countdown, meet Son Goku from Gensomaden Saiyuki.

Scene:

"Okay, we've eaten and there's shelter for tonight," Gojyo said, standing up. "The only thing left to do is..."

"Go eat!" Goku interrupted.

Scene 2:

"Ah, hara hetta!" Goku said after finishing another bowl of ramen. "Do you have anything more?"

"You've just eaten everything!" the chef cried.

Scene 3:

"Chicken ... beef ... pork ... fish ... " Goku muttered.

"Women ... sake ... cigarettes ... " Gojyo reeled off.

"Both of you are full of wordly desires," Hakkai said.

"Alright, alright, we get the picture!" Gojyo interrupted before I can show you scene 4. "The baka saru is always hungry. And he'll eat anything."

When he said anything, he meant it.

Scene 4:

"Hara hetta!" Goku whined.

"Eat this," Gojyo said lazily, handing out something.

"Really? Thanks!" Goku said in delight and swallowed whatever it was. He made a face. "Eew! Tastes awful. What's that?"

"Inflammable rubbish," Gojyo muttered.

Gojyo had had his say. What about the rest?

"Hm! The baka saru is always whining for food," Sanzo says.

"He does eats a lot," Hakkai says. "I heard Sanzo said once about Goku not eating for 500 years and maybe he's trying to make up for it."

"Kyuu!" Hakuryuu says and gave his opinion in his own language. Translation: He would have eaten me if he hadn't promised not to when I saved him.

So when it comes to eating, there can be no doubt that Goku is the most extreme!
