Line 119:
** In the anime, the [[Weird Moon|moon]] constantly has blood dripping out of the corner of its mouth. [[Trailers Always Lie|Except in the opening]].
* In ''[[Ookamikakushi]]'', Shigetsu bleeds heavily from the mouth before dying.
* Alice in ''[[RODR.O.D the TV]]'' after getting [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice|the mother of all papercuts]].
** Also Ikkyu Soujun in the OVA when Nancy squeezes his heart.
* In the ''[[Love Hina]]'' manga, Keitaro [[Crash Into Hello|crashes into]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|Mutsumi]], knocking her over. Keitaro apologzes, then sees that blood is trickling from her nose and mouth. This, combined with her (temporarily) [[Blank White Eyes]] ([[Fridge Logic|plus the fact that she seems to have no pulse]]) convinces Keitaro and Naru that she has died. Of course, it's really just one of her fainting spells.
Line 224:
* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s ''[[Ravenor]]'' novels, [[Language of Magic|Enucia]] is so horrifically chaos-warped that using it often causes bleeding at the mouth.
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', the death of Severus Snape is preceded by both blood and the silver fluid of a memory bubbling out of his mouth. As well as this, in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Harry Potter]]'', Harry is described as wiping a trickle of blood from Dumbledore's mouth after the latter is hit with a Killing Curse and blasted off the Astronomy Tower.
* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] novel ''[[Brothers of the Snake]]'', the seriousness of Inquisitor Mabuse's injuries shown by having him bleed at the mouth though he lives long enough to provide the Marines with evidence that they were working for him.
* [[Older Than They Think]]! In Act V, Scene 2 of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] Henry VI, Part 3, as Warwick dies he complains that he cannot speak clearly for all the blood and sticky stuff erupting from his mouth.
* Even older than that. ''[[The Song of Roland]]'' has the titular character blow a horn so hard he gives himself an aneurysm. A stream of blood flies out through the horn, and his brains start leaking from his ears. Roland wanders around a bit more, pays his respects to his fallen, climbs a hill, tries to destroy his sword, ''fails'' and destroys a very large rock instead, [[The Runt At the End|kills one more stray bad guy by bashing him with the horn]], and symbolically faces the land yet to be conquered before the cranial hemmorhaging and displaced brains catch up with him.
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] [[Ultramarines (novel)|Ultramarines]] novel ''The Warriors of Ultramar'', the [[Blood Magic]] used by the Mortifactors causes Blood From the Mouth for a seer—revolting the Ultramarines who witness it.
** In ''Dead Sky Black Sun'', Leonid coughs up blood. While he fights on, it is not much later when he persuades Uriel to [[No One Gets Left Behind|leave him]], because he will only slow them and die.
* In William King's [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] [[Space Wolf]] novel ''Wolfblade'', [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us|the invasion of the house]] begins with [[The Mole]] shooting a guard, who bleeds from the mouth.
** In Lee Lightner's ''Sons of Fenris'', when Jeremiah fights Cadmus, blood from Cadmus's mouth is the sign that he got in a telling blood—though he is actually killed by the next blow.
* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] [[Horus Heresy]] novel ''Legion'', questioning a wounded Nurthene ends when he bleeds from the mouth and dies.
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] novel ''Storm of Iron'', the Chaos sorcerer Kelmaur bleeds from not just the mouth but from every orifice in his head when his scrying leads to a psychic attack.
* In [[James Swallow]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] [[Blood Angels]] novel ''Red Fury'', Corvus dies with blood forming a pink froth at his mouth—then, his throat had been cut.
* In [[James Swallow]]'s [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] novel ''Faith & Fire'', when Vaun is hit with a psycannon, he coughs a red mist.
* A strange subversion happened in a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel: Fitz smokes thirty a day, so maybe it's no huge surprise when he suddenly starts coughing up blood for no reason in particular. The weird thing is that it's [[What Happened to the Mouse?|never brought up again]] and whatever was the matter with him apparently clears itself up between books.
* Played with in [[Darkness Visible]] - when putting his brain under extreme stress, Lewis bleeds from the nose and the eyes, but not actually from the mouth. The sense of this being a [[Oh Crap|Bad Thing]] remains the same.
Line 371:
** More reasonable to assume it's a split lip, or accidentally biting his tongue or cheek hard enough to draw blood when he gets hit, especially since they seem to come more often after blows to the face.
*** That and the fact his mouth is the only visible part of his body. This was even [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] at one time in a comic where after fighting Clayface, an unmasked Bruce showed he had received a black eye from their confrontation, (as well as several other bruises around his chest and torso); something that his [[Expressive Mask]] covered up.
* [[Animation Age Ghetto|Amazingly,]] the cosmetic variety is even found in [[The Powerpuff Girls]], in the episode Bubblevicious. [[Genki Girl|Bubbles]] is trying to prove she's [[Badass|hardcore]], and so turns the this-episode-only-training-chamber [[Up to Eleven]]. [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|After taking a significant beating]] from the simulations (somehow), she has a small trickle of blood running from her mouth (though the lighting purposefully makes this difficult to see), which she wipes off, right before [[Unstoppable Rage|unleashing all hell]] on the simulated monsters. [[Beware the Nice Ones]], [[Took a Level Inin Badass|indeed.]]
** In the intro, Him spits out a bunch of teeth and a little blood from a kick in the face from Bubbles, though it could be coming from his nose.
* In an episode of [[Metalocalypse]], Nathan vomits blood after seeing the others vomit. It turns out he has a bad liver and gets it replaced later on.
