Basic Trope: Blood is shown as black instead of normal red. * Straight: A character becomes wounded, and is shown bleeding blackish blood. * Exaggerated: * An Ax Crazy character goes on a murderous rampage, and the result is an area with blood everywhere, all of it as black as tar. * Everything that should be red is shown as black instead. * Downplayed: A character is wounded, and bleeds maroon blood. * Justified: * The wounded character is not human, so their blood looks different. * Alternatively: The point-of-view character suffers from protanopia -- the lack of red light receptors in the eye -- and blood looks dark as a consequence. * Or the wounded character is being seen on a black-and-white TV monitor (perhaps an older security camera) * Inv

  • Basic Trope: Blood is shown as black instead of normal red. * Straight: A character becomes wounded, and is shown bleeding blackish blood. * Exaggerated: * An Ax Crazy character goes on a murderous rampage, and the result is an area with blood everywhere, all of it as black as tar. * Everything that should be red is shown as black instead. * Downplayed: A character is wounded, and bleeds maroon blood. * Justified: * The wounded character is not human, so their blood looks different. * Alternatively: The point-of-view character suffers from protanopia -- the lack of red light receptors in the eye -- and blood looks dark as a consequence. * Or the wounded character is being seen on a black-and-white TV monitor (perhaps an older security camera) * Inverted: Blood is shown being far brighter a shade of red than possible in reality. * Subverted: The black "blood" isn't really blood at all, and when characters do end up bleeding, it's normal red. * Double Subverted: The black "blood" is a different substance, so we assume characters will still bleed red. However, once they really do get injured, their blood is still pitch black. * Parodied: Blood in the series is frequently confused with oil. * Deconstructed: The characters in the series suffer from severe anemia caused by iron deficiency; iron is what makes blood red, so their blood can appear black. The other symptoms of anemia cause the characters much suffering. * Reconstructed: The art is highly stylized, with unrealistic colors used in many places for dramatic effect. * Zig Zagged: It's a black liquid splattered or smeared somewhere, but the story keeps flipping views on whether it's blood or not. * Averted: * Characters bleed. The blood is normal red. * Nobody is shown bleeding. * Enforced: It's a family friendly show, and making the blood black lets them get away with some violence without getting too gruesome. * Lampshaded: "Oh no, this blood is going to leave black stains everywhere!" * Invoked: A character drinks some sort of chemical that will turn his blood black, knowing that he will soon die- he doesn't want to startle bystanders too much. * Defied: A character makes sure to get enough iron, thus ensuring that his blood stays red. * Discussed: "Isn't blood supposed to be red?" "Yeah." "So why is ours black?" * Conversed: "That one show always shies away from showing blood, and now when they do, it's black? Come on!" Back to Black Blood
