The Narou anime "Re:Monster", which will begin airing in spring 2024, tells the story of a protagonist who is reincarnated into another world and becomes the weakest goblin, but rises from the weakest to the strongest thanks to the "devouring ability" he possessed in life, and at the same time builds up a huge organization. The protagonist's "devouring ability" allows him to devour anything and gives him the ability of the person he devours, a special ability that is full of the feeling of survival of the fittest, and in the story he devours a wide variety of opponents. In this article, we have compiled a list of the things the protagonist has devoured, based on the comic book adaptation! There is a lot to cover, so this is the first part.
Eaten Prey #1: Horn Rabbit
The first time the protagonist absorbed the ability to eat after being reincarnated as the weakest goblin, "Goburo". In life, the protagonist was a powerful psychic who possessed the "absorption ability" that allowed him to gain the abilities of those he ate, and after devouring the Horn Rabbit, he learns that he retained this ability even after reincarnation. The ability he gained was "Escape Rabbit", which allows him to run away quickly.
Eaten prey #2: Armored raccoon dog
A raccoon dog with a hard shell. Its shell, which cannot be broken through by the horn of a Horn Rabbit, was used as material for armor. The ability absorbed is "Shell Defense".
Eaten prey #3: Nanairo bat
A beautiful bat with rainbow wings. It seems that the material was used to make armor for Gobumi, but it was not able to learn it. It is a matter of probability whether it can learn, and the probability seems to vary depending on the part of the body and the number of times it has been eaten. After that, it has eaten several Nanairo bats and learned the abilities of "echolocation", "blood flow manipulation", and "blood sucking".
Eaten Prey #4: Night Viper
A large snake with tough snakeskin. It tastes delicious. At this point, it is a higher-ranking enemy than Goburou, and since the ``absorption ability'' allows you to gain more abilities by eating someone stronger than yourself, it has learned the abilities of ``infrared detection,'' ``snake venom administration,'' ``venom resistance,'' ``presence detection,'' and ``snake's magic eye.''
Eaten prey #5: Goblins
A fellow goblin attacked him in his sleep and, in the heat of the moment, he killed him. His "devouring ability" has the side effect of reducing the aversion he feels when eating, and when he tried eating in a place where no one was around, it was neither good nor bad.
Eaten Prey #6: Orc
A humanoid monster with a pig's face. It is about 170cm tall and sometimes acts in groups. It is defeated in an instant by a surprise attack by three gobs. It is said to taste like premium pork and is delicious. The abilities it gains are ``Extraordinary Vitality,'' ``Interspecies Language (Orc),'' and ``Item Appraisal.'' After consuming multiple monsters, it gains ``Foul Stench.''
Eaten Prey #7: Kobold
A humanoid monster with a dog's face. Compared to Orcs, it is weaker in strength but more agile. However, it is relatively intelligent and equipped with equipment, making it a superior being to Orcs, but it was no match for Goburou and Gobkichi, who became hobgoblins through the evolution of their existence. The abilities it gained were ``Interracial Language (Kobold)'' and ``Avoidance.'' Its taste and texture are said to be mysterious.
Eaten food #8: Firestone
The "absorption ability" is the ability to eat anything, not just living things, and by eating the firestone, which can start a fire, he succeeds in learning the "ignition ability". For goblins who live a primitive life, being able to handle fire is a very important factor. After eating one that was in the possession of a kobold mage, he also gained "heat resistance".
Eaten Prey #9: Human Females for Breeding
Human women who have been captured by goblins and are forced to give birth to goblin babies endlessly. Their minds have already collapsed, and they are unable to communicate. Goburou, feeling sympathy for their situation, handed them poison that would make them sleep and die, causing them to commit suicide. By consuming parts of their bodies, they gain the following skills: "Foreign Language (Human)", "Continental Character Deciphering", "Mental Map Creation Skill", "Occupation: Magician", "Occupation: Light Swordsman", "Occupation: Forest Priest", and "Occupation: Craftsman".
Eaten Prey #10: Long Sword Estoc
With the "Absorption Ability", he can eat weapons. When learning from inanimate objects, the quality, how they are used, and the strength of the attachment also seem to be relevant. The abilities he has acquired are "Enhanced Slashing Attack" and "Enhanced Penetration".
Eaten Prey #11 Kobold Mage
A rare individual among kobolds who can use magic. It is rare and apparently quite strong, but Goburou and his friends suddenly attacked them in a group and wiped them out. The abilities he acquired are "Control of Magical Energy Within the Body", "Mage's Knowledge", and "Threatening Roar".
Eaten #12: Green Slime Core
An amorphous creature that is immune to physical attacks. After being burned by the magic of a Kobold Mage, it was retrieved by Goburou and placed in his stomach. The ability it acquired was "Physical Attack Reduction," which did not nullify physical attacks.
Eaten Prey #13: Water and Lightning Stones
Items held by Kobold Mages. By eating them, you gain the following abilities: "Water Flow Control Ability", "Water and Ice Resistance", "Electricity Generation Ability", "Lightning Resistance", and "External Magic Precision Control".
Eaten Prey #14: Ogre Spider
A large spider. I tried to burn it down with my pyrokinesis ability, but it burned a lot more than I expected and almost started a fire. Apparently it tastes like shrimp. The ability I gained is "Spider Thread Generation", but I can't control it with this ability alone, and by eating multiple spiders I gained "Thread Manipulation".
Eaten Prey #15 Black Wolf Leader
A wolf with black fur that resembles metallic fibers. The leader of a pack of 16 wolves was a formidable opponent, but he was easily crushed by a surprise attack and poison, and the remaining pack was annihilated. The abilities he gained were "Generalization of the Pack", "Group Hunting Knowledge", and "Hard Steel Fur".
Eaten Prey #16: Triple Horn Horse
A large horse with three horns. It has scales so hard that even a crossbow that can easily penetrate plate armor can be deflected, and it is a formidable enemy that has some resistance to strong poison. The abilities it has acquired are ``Scale Armor Driving'', ``Scaled Horse Neigh'', ``Fast Healing'', ``Leg Strength Enhancement'', ``Charge Strength Enhancement'', and ``Triple Thrust''.
Eaten Prey #17: Red Bear
With a body length of nearly 4m, metallic fur, and thick muscles, it is at the top of the forest ecosystem. With the ability to spit fire and endless toughness, it is called the mountain's boss as a subspecies of the Indian bear, and is considered an entity that goblins should never approach. It is defeated after a deadly battle with Goburou. The abilities it acquires are "Unrivaled Heavy Attack", "Intimidation of the Strong", "Roar of the Mountain Lord", "Intimidating Gaze", and "Resistance to All Attributes". After this deadly battle, Goburou has evolved into an existence.
Eaten Prey #18: Adventurers
Adventurers who are after the jewel on the forehead of the artificial carbuncle Returna. They were high-level adventurers who came to the "Velvet Hidden Treasure House" to trade with Returna, but because they did not listen to Ogarou's demands, they were all killed and eaten. The abilities acquired are "Profession: Guardian Knight", "Profession: Crusader", "Profession: Assassin", "Profession: High Mage", "Profession: Priest", "Profession: Enchanter", "Fast Thinking", "Shortened Spells", "Chivalry", "Intuition", "Concealment", and "Protection of the Demigod of Compassion".
Eaten #19: Hermit's Ring and Storage Backpack
A rare item possessed by an adventurer who came to the Velvet Hidden Treasure House. The Hermit's Ring has the effect of hiding the information of the equipped vehicle, and the storage backpack is a magical backpack that can hold up to 99 of each of 200 types of items. The abilities acquired are "self-status concealment" and "different dimension storage ability".
Eaten thing #20 Returna's forehead gem
Returna, the artificial Carbuncle who asked Goburou for help, had already been damaged by the core and was not going to live long. After seeing Ogarou protect the treasure hall, Returna disappeared while expressing her gratitude, and Ogarou ate the remaining gem. The ability acquired was "Golden Rule".
Eaten prey #21: Orb spider
A large spider. A formidable enemy with an extremely sturdy thread and a hard golden shell for its size. Its flesh is said to be more delicious than that of an orb spider. The abilities acquired are "Golden thread generation" and "Diamond spider hard shell".
Eaten prey #22: Red deer
A large deer with striking crimson-like horns. It looks elegant but has a fierce temperament and a tremendous charging force. It seems that it was not able to acquire the ability from a single predation.
Eaten prey #23: Green Lizard
A lizardman who lives near water. After being eaten (sexually) by a dryad, he is attacked while cleaning himself off by the water, but he easily fights back. Apparently the meat and bones have a unique texture and are delicious. The abilities he has acquired are "aquatic" and "different species language (lizardman)".
Eaten Prey #24: Bicorn
A large cow with two black horns and a human face. It hits the charging bicone head-on, crushing its head, and dies with a splatter of blood. It tastes like beef. It cannot learn from a single predation.
Eaten Prey #25: Elves
Elfs who make a settlement in the Great Forest. After being attacked by humans and the situation becoming unfavorable, they came to trade with the military, but refused because the representative was overbearing. After that, they made a strong threat and drove them away, but they brought their elite again, so they were captured. They killed and preyed on the representative and several elves. The abilities they acquired were ``Alien Language (Elf)'', ``Deep Green Resident'', ``Spirit User'', ``Knowledge of Archery'', ``Tracking'', ``Hide'', ``Selling Price 30% Increase'', and ``Buying Price 30% Decrease''.

Eaten #27: Collar of Subjugation
Equipment with the skill of subjugation. When worn, the collar's owner will be unable to resist. It seems he had it before, but it was so disgusting that he didn't want to eat it, so he left it alone. He is forced to eat it out of necessity.
