Line 13:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The Guren from ''[[Code Geass]]'' is red orange and black
* Edward Elric from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' wears a red coat and has black cloths underneath. Despite his mean and cynical exterior, however, he is an aversion of the trope.
* In ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'', Laura's IS is also this color scheme, possibly as a [[Shout-Out]] to Elzam, as the series likes to reference other mecha anime. And she does a [[Heel Face Turn]] as well (sort of).
* Most of the shots of the [[Big Bad]] in the fourth credit sequence in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' are coloured Red, Black, Grey, and inspired by insanity.
Line 124:
* ''[[BlazBlue]]'': Ragna the Bloodedge wears his black vest and pants on his red jacket. He's a [[Good Is Not Nice|Type 3]] [[Anti-Hero]] who wields the power of life-sucking darkness... and is a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] at best. And he actually has no qualms of killing innocent people who get in his way.
** Also in the same game, there's Litchi Faye-Ling whose color scheme are majorly red with black tints around. This is instead a subversion as she is instead a sweet, motherly, kind and compassionate woman who is only concerned in helping those in need. Double subverted that eventually {{spoiler|she joined the enemy group, NOL}}, but then triple-subverted that {{spoiler|[[Forced Into Evil|she was forced and still retained her kind personality]] rather than [[Face Heel Turn|tossing them away and becoming a majorly evil person.]]}}
* One of the scariest random events in ''[[Signal Simulator]]'' is {{spoiler|the encounter with the triangle UFO. A threatening-looking spaceship painted pitch black and with hellish red lights on its underside, it hovers ominously outside your base while making these horrible noises that sound like they're being broadcasted from the deepest bowels of hell. It sends you a message claiming to come in peace, but an [[Apocalyptic Log]] you can find describing its malevolent behavior shows that its intentions are anything but.}}
== [[Web Original]] ==
* In ''[[Drowtales]]'', the resident [[Living Doll Collector]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20171219155830/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=627 Kharla], seems to like the Red/Black combo.
** These are also the colors most often worn by Syphile, Ariel's [[Abusive Parents|abusive caretaker]].
** And [https://web.archive.org/web/20190915124947/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1832 Luliane] switches to this outfit after the timeskip, {{spoiler|because she's been possessed by Khaless, also qualifying this for [[Evil Costume Switch]]}}.
** In the last two cases, a more innocuous reason for the colors are because they are the Sarghress clan colors, along with this trope.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': Rich Burlew uses red/black word balloons for several demonic characters.
Line 145 ⟶ 146:
* In ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', [[God of Evil|Trigon the Terrible]] is the most evil villain on the show, and is a gigantic red demon with black stripes on his arms, legs, and torso. Season 3's [[Big Bad]], [[Psychic Powers|Brother Blood]], normally [[Light Is Not Good|wears white and gold robes]], but the fighing outfit he wears underneath is red and black (with some silver) as is his whole body after he's [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|upgraded himself with cybernetics]].
* [[Big Bad|XANA]]'s primary colours in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' are red and black.
* These are the prevalent colors in both ''[[Hazbin Hotel]]'' and ''[[Helluva Boss]]''; with most of the plot taking place in Hell, both clothes and architecture are almost exclusively red and black. This is even the case with more benevolent characters, like Charlie and Vaggie. Ironically, Lucifer himself is an exception, wearing a white suit, and while Heaven has a blue, white, and gold theme, many residents there are of the [[Light Is Not Good]] types. Interestingly, this was a case of [[Real Life Writes The Plot]], as the show started with one [[YouTube]] web animation where the developers had a limited budget and consequently, limited art resources.
