Line 18:
* Ladd Russo from ''[[Baccano!]]'' finds himself subject to this trope—see page image. He doesn't ''die'' per se, but he does get his ear clipped off and his left arm [[Nightmare Fuel|completely skinned to the bone]]. Notably, Ladd invoked the trope, explaining that he and his friends all wear white because he thinks blood spatters look best on white clothing. Of course, at the time, he probably didn't think it would be ''his'' blood... And ''then'' there is the Rail Tracer, whose {{spoiler|white conductor uniform}} gets completely coated in blood of his victims.
* {{spoiler|Chidori}} from ''[[Ayashi no Ceres]]'' is wearing a white dress when she is fatally shot in the chest to protect {{spoiler|Yuuhi}}.
:{{spoiler|Aya}} does so as well when she is stabbed by {{spoiler|Aki, who is possessed by Shisou}}. The only difference is that she survives, along with {{spoiler|Tooya's baby}}.▼

* For the final arc of ''[[Code Geass]]'', {{spoiler|''Emperor'' Lelouch}} wears a fancy white set of robe. In the very last episode, {{spoiler|he is stabbed through the chest with a big honking sword, [[Thanatos Gambit|just as he planned]]. A lot of focus is put on the blood.}}
* When Kenshin and Tomoe met in the ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' manga and OAV, she was wearing a white kimono. He had just killed a man in front of her. She said "you make rain blood". Do the maths.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* In ''[[Kill Bill]]'', the Bride faces and messily defeats O-Ren Ishii while the latter is clothed in a white kimono and [[Snow Means Death|standing in snow]].
* In ''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'', Jet Li's character enters the final showdown dressed entirely in a white version of the black suit he's been wearing for the rest of the movie. [[Foregone Conclusion|They couldn't have made it more clear what was going to happen to him.]]
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|
* Ah Jong ([[Chow Yun-fat]]) finishes out [[The Killer]] in a white suit, which gets plenty bloody.
* Aptly enough, "Man in White Shirt" from ''[[Tampopo]]''.
* In the Hindi film ''[[Dil Se]]'' the song and dance "Satrangi Re" foreshadows the fate of Amar by showing him in a black outfit for most of the song then in all white at the end. Usually the dancers in Hindi song and dance numbers have multiple costume changes in one song. Limiting Amar to the 2 outfits accentuated the symbolism. (his dance partner wore at least 7 different outfits in the same song.)
