Food
CharacterFood is the Mutant Quirk of the villain Soramitsu Tabe, and it is as blunt as the name suggests. Anything his mouth can reach he can bite through, chew, and digest, with no sense of ever being full. He still has to get close, and poison still counts against him.
Overview
Soramitsu Tabe carries Food, a Mutant Quirk that works on contact. Chapter 140 gives it a name before Chapter 141 shows what it does, and the anime brings it in during Episode 71.
Mechanics
Whatever Soramitsu gets his teeth around, he can grind down and swallow. Material offers him almost no resistance, and objects come apart under his jaw with unsettling ease. Nothing about the process satisfies him either; the appetite has been described as bottomless, with no point at which the user feels fed.
Two limits apply. The mouth has to reach the target, so an opponent who keeps distance takes the Quirk out of play entirely, and that requirement can be turned into a weapon against him. Digesting anything also fails to mean surviving anything, since toxic material still leaves the user sick.
