Line 15:
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* Anywhere Ladd and Claire go in ''[[Baccano!]]!'', this is pretty much standard.
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', this is Scar's calling card. And it later becomes commonplace for {{spoiler|Wrath/King Bradley}}.
* Zoro from ''[[One Piece]]'' revels in this trope.
Line 24:
** In the second ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' movie, Sahaquiel's death is changed so that the Angel explodes into a gigantic wave of blood, which then washes over Tokyo-3. One must wonder how long it took to clean all that up.
* This is the signature of the titular ''[[Ichi the Killer]]''. The comic and film open with a crew cleaning up his mess.
* Happens quite frequently in ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'', thanks to the zombies.
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'', Doctor Manhattan is shown once using his powers to turn a bunch of thugs into chunky, red paint. Restaurant patrons weren't happy.
* Literal example in [[Clint Eastwood]]'s ''[[High Plains Drifter]]''. When the protagonist takes over the duties of sheriff, he has the town painted red and renamed Hell ''before'' the shooting starts.
* The first [[The Gamers|Gamers]] film had a rather spectacular example from the [[Ludicrous Gibs]] side of this trope, after Nimble decides to backstab Hunk. With a ballista.
Line 41:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Brock Samson has performed this on occasion in ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* [[Chakona Space]]: In a recent story set in Neal Foster's more distant past, he doesn't paint the town so much as the ceilings of a starship's bridge and sickbay.
