When a fluid (or highly flexible solid) falls and/or spreads in a way that it is [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|made to look like]] blood. This is either to show a symbolic loss or to perform a [[Stock Parodies|standard parody]].
Line 18:
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Ghost in
** ''[[Ghost in
* In the ''[[
* In the first episode of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' you see small vials of a red drug floating in space, near the woman that was carrying them in a bag inside her dress, who just got killed. The drug ''is'' a liquid ([[Eye Scream|which is sprayed into the user's eye]] and appropriately named "Red Eye" or "Bloody Eye"), making the symbolism doubly effective
* In one episode of ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'' the [[Gory Discretion Shot]] for a character's fate is a splash of curry sauce.
* In an episode of ''[[
* in ''08thMSTeam'', the battle between Norris and the Team has this when Norris stabs a guntank, resulting in a massive gout of oil being sprayed across his mobile suit.
* In ''[[
** It comes so close that some of it is removed in the edited version.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has this when {{spoiler|the fourth form of Fate, Quartum appears to promptly slash Chachamaru in half at the mid-section, leaving her bleeding and [[Tears of Blood|crying]] fluids all over the deck of the Great Paru-sama, implying that she's powered by hydraulics}}.
Line 37:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* At one point, the ''[[Hellboy (
* The films in the ''[[Alien (
* The movie ''High Anxiety'' had a shower scene much like ''Psycho'', only it had a {{spoiler|newspaper instead of a knife and the ink from it instead of blood}}.
* ''[[
* In the ''[[Transformers Film Series|Transformers]]'' movies, blood from the bots is represented in some cases by flourescent blue liquid ([[Fanon|which the fandom believes is Energon]]).
** In the second movie, a not-quite example is the use of 'fountains' of fire/sparks... kind of hard to explain without a visual aid, but surprisingly effective as a replacement for blood.
Line 47:
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[That 70s Show]]'' Kelso is in the shower and Laurie catches him using her shampoo (which happens to be red). This causes him to spill it, at which point we see it going down the drain as she hits him is a stabbing motion ([[Psycho
* Sparks fly when a ''[[Power Rangers]]'' character is hit, and on some occasions, a character has had a stream of sparks spraying from the same point for an extended time (usually the [[Monster of the Week]], after being dealt the [[Finishing Move]] that's about to result in utter kablooification.)
* ''[[White Collar]]'': After {{spoiler|Elizabeth is kidnapped by Keller}}, the FBI shows up to the crime scene, and Peter sees a red pool on the rug from a spilled pot of spaghetti sauce.
Line 53:
== Toys ==
* One ''[[Bionicle]]'' commercial showed Kalmah's tetacle being cut off, and a dark liquid flowing into the water. We know that characters in the Matoran Universe don't bleed, so it was either some other fluid (ink?), or completely non-canon. [[Everything's Even Worse
** Pirdak's markings have been confirmed to be just that, but since his design is based on a shark's it is obvious that they meant for it to be reminiscent of blood. Also, unlike the rest of the Matoran Universe, the Endless Ocean ''does'' have fully organic creatures, like fish.
Line 59:
== Videogames ==
* In the Japanese ''Rockman Zero'' series, robots give out a spray of red oil when killed with the saber. This is censored for some bizarre reason in the American ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' localizations.
* Possibly done in ''[[
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', when fighting the [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hydra]], the heads being chopped off lead to leaking smoke instead of blood. In [[Hercules (Disney film)|the movie]] and the Japanese version of the game there's slime instead.
** [[Kingdom Hearts]] kind of seems to like using darkness as symbolic blood, actually. The {{spoiler|remade version of the Deep Dive scene}} in [[Kingdom Hearts:
* [[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]: Raiden's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|white cyborg blood]] on [[Depraved Bisexual|Vamp's]] [[Freud Was Right|crotch-knife]]. [[Squick|Do Not Want.]]
* The robot/cyborg characters from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' would have their 'blood' coloured black as if it were oil being knocked out from the uppercut. Some other nonhumans ended up with green blood.
* In [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]], after you defeat {{spoiler|Ganondorf's gerudo form}} he falls to the ground, with his red cape unfolding around him in a way that makes it look like blood is actually flowing out of him.
* In ''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]: [[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Shalua is killed by Azul, in a scene in which she holds a door open with her mechanical arm so that the others can escape. When the arm is destroyed, some medical liquid starts to flow from under the door. And as you may guess, blood-like.
== Webcomics ==
* In ''[[
* In [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005403 this page] of Homestuck, [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Mom and Dad]] are shown holding hands over a wine-stained table cloth. {{spoiler|On the next page, however, the same picture is shown as a reflection in [[Big Bad|Bec Noir's]] glasses, making it look more like blood. The next time Mom and Dad are shown in the comic, they're dead.}}
Line 75:
== Western Animation ==
* Robots in ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' spray oil as if it were [[High-Pressure Blood]].
* One episode of ''[[The Simpsons (
** Another has Marge accidentally fold up Homer's power-adjustable [[Bear Trap Bed|bed]] while he's sleeping in it. A red liquid pours out from the bed. It turns out to be Homer's juice box.
* ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' featured a scene where it appears the past incarnations of Green Lantern and Shayera were stabbed while on a bed, but as the camera moves up you see that it's a puddle of wine-- which poisoned them.
* ''Transformers: [[
** Especially Waspinator, but then [[The Chew Toy|if you didn't expect that one, you don't know much about]] ''[[
* Used on ''[[
* In ''[[
* ''[[The Batman vs. Dracula]]'' had a scene where Dracula attacks a waiter who then drops a bottle of red wine that spills all over.
* In ''[[Watership Down]]'', Fiver sees the sunset turning the field red and is horrified to see it covered in blood. Although the red is simply light, the animation style makes it appear to run down like liquid.
* ''[[
** Also in "The Silence of the Clamps" when Zoidberg cuts of Clamps' handclamps sparks shoot out from the stumps like blood.
* When the Lemons blow up Rod "Torque" Redline in [[Cars|''Cars 2'']], we actually see a puddle of oil trickle under the Lemons' tires once Redline is finally dead.
* In ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' all the bots "bleed" Energon. This is used for ''very'' graphic effect.
* A memorable episode of ''[[
