Bogus Skill «Fruitmaster» ~About that time I became able to eat unlimited numbers of Skill Fruits (that kill you)~

Light Underwood has trained to be an adventurer in a world where Skill Fruits grant powers, yet he seems cursed with the "Fruitmaster" skill, which is treated as useless because eating a second fruit is supposed to be fatal. His childhood friend Lena Floria quickly climbs to S Rank while Light stagnates, until a freak accident leaves him alive after consuming a second Skill Fruit. He then learns he can eat unlimited Skill Fruits and inherit their abilities, which turns everyday choices into dangerous experiments. The series tracks his tests, the strain of unexpected side effects, and the social fallout as allies and rivals respond.

Released in 2025, the series was created by Kinoshita, Air Matsukoto, and Hanyuu, and features Takuma Nagatsuka as Light and Lynn as Lena Floria, with Haruna Mikawa, Hana Tamegai, and Akira Sekine rounding out the main cast. The animation mixes kinetic action with broad comedy, leaning into flashy skill effects and quick gags.

As of its early run there are no major awards or nominations reported for the show. Given its recent release it has mostly been circulating among fans and seasonal conversation rather than prize circuits, so awards recognition remains possible but not yet realized.

The show's strange premise has stirred lively online discussion, producing fan art, short clips, and memes about Light's unlimited-fruit ability. Fans debate the ethics of power acquisition and swap theories about which fruits are best, and the concept has become a handy shorthand in conversations about power-scaling in anime.

The series holds a 7.537/10 user score from 27 votes, indicating generally positive viewer reaction. Viewers often praise the balance of action and comedy, the inventive approach to power systems, and the strong character dynamics, while noting a darker undercurrent about ambition, consequence, and how power reshapes relationships. Early buzz.
