What's the deal with Shounen leads usually having huge appetites?

...

Having a big appetite is considered to be an appealing quirk.

Shounen -> OP MC -> powerful techs -> loss of energy -> replenish with food -> eat a lot

Kids love eating.

name one MC that hates food

Gap moe

since when were boy's manga trying to be moe. Not Goku, luffy, or the like

That's a loaded question. Like asking who dislikes breathing

I mean, have you seen how much bodybuilders and power lifters eat?
Imagine that but you also usually need to fill up shit like Ki or Chakra

More of Seiba eating

It's considered masculine

When it comes to lol-they-eat-soooo-much characters, what's more common now? The shounen mc or the permaflat girl?

Physically and mentally healthy boys like eating, a lot.

Shit trait for shit girls.

Does hating almost every type of food in existence count? If not I don't think there's an answer.

Sailor Moon.

Simon
had shit taste

Needs energy to fight, and it explain their big fat titties.

It's quirky without being too quirky.

Because it encourages young boys to have a healthy appetite. Same reason you seldom see MCs using drugs, etc

Thy will be done

>japanese kids have to be encouraged to eat
>meanwhile in america childhood obesity is considered an "epidemic"
how do they do it?

...

...

Being raised with smaller portion sizes and the mentality that you stop eating right BEFORE you're full
vs.
Huge portion sizes, and clean your plate

Do you want a real answer?

It's because a lot of shounen take their inspiration from Journey to the West. With regards to food Sun Wukong was known to have a large apetite.

Many Mc's are based on Sun Wukong and have some of his traits such as his large apetite. Goku's tail, pole, transformations. MONKEY D. Luffy's name is a nod to wukong. Naruto with his shadow clones(debatable). etc...

are you sure that pic isnt Tapris from gabriel dropout?

Tiny girls with big appetites. Saber is a miracle of the universe.

It's to justify how they are always so full of shit.

Wait a second that face plate doesn't come with that Saber nendoroid.

Saber is a super qt :3

The cutest.

If you get into crazy shounen battles you have to metabolize like crazy.

Food

power

>Like asking who dislikes breathing
I wish I could stop breathing sometimes, it just reminds me that im continuing to live.

Jesus user.

shes going to destroy his toiler

It makes sense considering all the calories they would typically burn.

It really bothers me that this is in reverse...

Heroic Spirits don't poop user, it's all converted into mana.

This why they're such popular waifus.
