* The ''[[Naruto]]'' anime rarely uses this trope, but it made an exception when Gaara kills three competitors during the Chuunin Exams, a scene that featured more blood than the rest of the series combined. The black color of the blood might be a result of the blood thickening the sand. |

* In the ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime, the few times Ash is cut onscreen he bleeds black. What's odd is that you see the blood fly through the air very dramatically, but his clothes remain uncut. The reason as to why Ash's blood is black is likely because of the animation style. |

* ''[[Tsukuyomi Moon Phase (Anime)|Moon Phase]]'' uses red blood for minor wounds (vampire bites), but switches to black when someone gets a hole dug into their chest. |

* Famously, the original gold cartridge version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina of Time]]'' had Ganondorf vomit red blood when Link killed him, but this was changed to green in later releases, among other changes (such as the music in the Fire Temple, which sounded too close to the Islamic ''adhan'' for some). |

* Similar to the above Zelda example, ''[[House of the Dead (Video Game)|House of the Dead]]'' does something similar with it's "censored" release. All of the red bits that are result of the gore effects (so flesh, blood as well as some of the giant maggots) are changed to Green instead of red. |

* The Japanese and European releases of ''[[No More Heroes]]'' turned all the blood black, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't close to being a playable Tarantino movie. A scene involved the sequence where, after defeating a woman in battle, she commits honourable suicide by depinning a grenade and holding it in her mouth, [[Your Head Asplode|with predicable results]]. Since, just before, she told the main character that she was attracted to him, he awkwardly hugged her dead, still-standing, headless body. In the censored version, her head and shoulders were still attached, but completely black, ruining the impact. The sequel remains uncensored, however. |
