{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Occasionally shows up in ''[[Higurashi]]''.
* ''[[Baccano!]]'': [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]]. While engaged in killing, both Ladd Russo and Claire Stanfield love to cover themselves with the blood of their victims.
* ''[[Hellsing]]'': Seras's entire outfit is stained red with blood after she awakens her true vampiric power.
** During the war, [[Lady of War|Integra's]] white [[Badass Longcoat]] becomes splattered with blood.
* Various characters in ''[[Blood
* This is usually the aftermath of one of Guts' battles in ''[[Berserk]]''.
== Literature ==
* Mentioned in the ''[[Discworld
▲* Mentioned in ''[[Discworld/Night Watch|Night Watch]]'' and ''[[Discworld/Thud|Thud]]'': After Sam Vimes goes through a bunch of enemies, he ends up covered in blood. In ''[[Discworld/Night Watch|Night Watch]]'' (involving [[Time Travel]]), he tells Coates he's from another time (the future). Coates takes a look at the blood-covered guy in armor [[Dual-Wielding]] swords and asks "[[Barbarian Hero|From how far back?]]" In Thud, the guards run at the sight of him.
* ''[[The Chronicles of Amber]]'' by [[Roger Zelazny]]: In ''The Guns of Avalon'', after the climactic battle Corwin is soaked in blood. One of his colleagues tells him he's wounded. He tells them no, he's just tired; the blood is that of his brother. {{spoiler|He didn't kill him, though, he got there just as the man was dying.}}
* ''[[Sharpe]]'': Harper poses as a wounded French soldier to get the Chosen Men into a fort (the blood comes from pulling the rotten tooth that's been bothering him all episode). The unfortunate Frenchman who happens to be passing right when the signal is given and gets subjected to a huge man covered in blood leaping up, grabbing him and growling in his face [[Oh Crap|looks like]] [[Bring My Brown Pants|he needs new pants]].
== Video Games ==
* The intro for ''[[Dawn of War]]'' has this (though it's to be expected when the guy is wielding a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsword]]).
** This trope occurs in ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine|Warhammer 40000 Space Marine]].''

== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'': but with [[Symbolic Blood|oil]] instead of actual blood, because it's a kid's show.
== Real Life ==
* Legend has it that the Austrian flag's creation is related to this. Duke Leopold V of Austria, after being soaked in blood from a battle, took off his belt, under which his clothes were still white. Appearently he liked that sight well enough to make it the Austrian flag.
* A subversion is the Genoan admiral at Lepanto. Unlike the Spaniards who were often religious fanatics, and the Venetians who had a [[It's Personal|chip on their shoulder]] from a recent atrocity in Cyprus the Genoans were happy enough to stay off to the side and snake as many prizes as they could out of the rumble rather like cowboys separating cattle from a herd. The Genoan admeral nonetheless ended up covered with gore, not so much because he was in the thick of the fighting but because a cannon shot had plastered the man next to him.
