AB Negative	comment	Although most of the real world gets by quite peacefully with the more common blood types, in the world of entertainment only the rarest will do; if a character's blood type is mentioned, you can bet that it's going to be rare and special. Blood in fiction really comes in only two types: universal donor (O-, rare) and special needs (common), so that blood banks are overtaxed whenever the plot requires. Because AB- is the rarest blood type (found in less than 1% of the population), cases of the latter will often give the character an AB- blood type. In reality, while doctors do prefer to match blood type exactly when possible (especially when doing organ transplants, to reduce the risk of rejection), in a life-or-death situation — which is the only situation this trope would find worthwhile — any compatible blood type will do. note In a sufficiently critical situation, such as when a patient is literally going through dozens or hundreds of units, even incompatible blood can be used, with compatible units reserved for the first few and last few transfusions; all the problems that would normally result from transfusing a type O patient with type A blood are negated when the patient's own blood is long gone and the type A blood is hemorrhaged out almost immediately. This is also how James Harrison became "The Man with the Golden Arms". When it comes to compatible matches, AB- blood is actually not that hard to match, because an AB- patient can receive transfusions of any Rh negative blood type (A-, B-, AB-, or O-), which are found in about 15% of the population. The most difficult type to match is actually O-, since the same factors that make O- the universal donor also mean that O- patients are only compatible with O- blood,note and O- being the universal donor can also reduce the availability of this type, given that it's the go-to for emergency situations where blood type is unknown and is also a fallback for all blood types when other compatible matches run out while every other blood type is compatible with at least itself and O-; however, O- blood is also not as rare as AB-, appearing in just under 7% of the population, so the chances of having some available or finding a donor are better. The situation of needing rare blood types is an actual problem that occasionally happens in medicine, but it's almost always related to blood types and factors that fall completely outside the normal blood type groupings (see the Real Life folder for examples). A subtrope of Blood Transfusion Plot. Not to be confused with Did Not Do the Bloody Research or Personality Blood Types.

AB Negative / int_1463a028	comment	Zig-zagged in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: On the subversion side, Benson and Stabler are both A-positive, the second most common blood type. Unusually for any version of this trope, said blood types have zero plot relevance; it's mentioned in a casual conversation and is just the setup for a Friendship Moment ("I'd give you a kidney." "Not if I gave you mine first."). On the played-straight side, Mike Dodds is B-negative, the second rarest blood type after AB-negative (and actually harder to match due to compatibility factors), and Sonny Carisi is O-negative, allowing the latter to donate blood to the former. In an unusually nuanced version of this trope, the issue is not that they can't find compatible blood anywhere, but that the hospital is running through its immediate stock and they're still waiting on a car from the central blood bank to bring more, so they're just buying time until the added supply gets there. Also downplayed in that it's not in any way a major part of the story; the relevant discussion occupies about a minute of the episode, and is really just there as part of showing the detectives rallying to support their injured colleague. A plot-relevant example occurs in one episode where they realize that a victim isn't who she says she is because of her blood type; the the person she's claiming to be is the child of two parents with type A blood, but the victim has type B, which would be biologically impossible if she was in fact their child.note The doctor actually asserts that her mother could not have given birth to a child with that blood type, but that's actually incorrect — a type A mother could have a type B child if she has the genotype AO and the father has a B gene. A full DNA test subsequently confirms that her identity was faked.

AB Negative / int_16aa3232	comment	In Desperate Housewives, one of the characters began to suspect that another was their father because they both had AB- blood. Never mind that blood types don't actually work like this in real life (it's something to do with which factors you have and how they add together, he was far more likely to be A or B, and then positive simply because more people are positive and the positive genes are dominant, which is also why Rhesus negative women are more likely to have birth complications). It's also how Gabrielle ultimately learns that Juanita was Switched at Birth, which Carlos had tried to keep a secret from her.

AB Negative / int_2275c659	comment	House both lampshades the first and subverts the second. The subversion is something we expect from a medical show, while the lampshading comes later. Two examples come from season 4 episode 8, â€œYou Donâ€™t Want To Knowâ€�. First, the team realizes that their patient got significantly worse after getting a blood transfusion of type AB blood. Worried that the blood transfusion might have carried some disease, they initially want to do a blood culture, but House refuses to allow them to do so, as waiting for the results would take too long. He instead tells them to give him a blood transfusion to prove thereâ€™s nothing wrong with the transfusion, as House himself is also coincidentally type AB. Later, House solves the case based on the patient's blood type (and a conversation with Wilson): the patient had blood type A, but due to his condition, his body was producing the wrong antibodies, causing the blood type test to give an incorrect result. As such, when he was given a blood transfusion, it was the wrong type. Nobody ever thought to ASK him what his blood type even was to begin with. Then again, the fact that doctors do not ask patients their blood type is Truth in Television. Many people don't know, some think they know but are wrong, and very few people know that more than the ABO/Rh factors even exist. And that's assuming the patient is conscious and coherent. It's easier just to do a spot test across the board, and those tests are usually correct; false results as in the episode are rare. In another episode, they play the trope straight. A woman in need of a liver transplant is apparently disadvantaged by having AB- blood. In fact, blood type would be the least of her worries.

AB Negative / int_44fe781e	comment	Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion must be identified on the computers as having Blood Type BLUE before the Evas can attack them. The fact that the majority of Angels are several stories tall and shoot lasers isn't enough of a giveaway. Word of God is that "Blood pattern Blue!" is a shoutout to an old Japanese sci-fi B-movie, in which people who see UFO's have their blood turn blue (then get discriminated against). It's an in-joke. Moreover they don't actually call it "Blood type" in the sense of AB- or O+, but "Blood Wave-Pattern" which is made up technobabble. Like many anime series, the blood types of the main characters are listed in the supplementary materials and fit the "blood type theory of personality" very accurately. Shinji is Type A and is thus weak and submissive (a majority of people in Japan are actually Type A). Asuka is the only Type O, and accordingly is a hothead (it does make sense that as she is from Germany and the only non-Japanese person on the show, she has an uncommon blood type for Japan). Misato is even wounded in one episode and they display that her specific blood type she's getting in a transfusion is "AO", although there is no functional difference between "AA" and "AO" because A is dominant. Rebuild of Evangelion complicates this further: an onscreen graphic notes that Unit-01 is BLUE A* while Sachiel is BLUE 04, being the fourth Angel in this continuity. Shamshel and Ramiel keep this numbering too.

When the book was written, the concept of blood transfusions was radical, cutting-edge science and the possibility of an allergic reaction to someone else's blood wasn't known. Thus, Lucy can get transfusions from four different men without anyone worrying about blood type compatibility. Since she's in the process of becoming a vampire, blood types may be irrelevant to her in a very easy retcon. Another easy Fan Wank is to claim that Lucy is AB+ (one of the rarest types), the "universal recipient."

AB Negative / int_6664e2ff	comment	In the last season of Queer as Folk (US), after the bombing in Babylon, Michael has been seriously hurt and taken to the hospital. The ER doctor says he needs a blood transfusion, but he's AB negative and they are short on his type. Brian answers he's O negative, universal donor and wants them to take his blood. But they won't take it because he's gay and they are considered too high of a risk for HIV. Brian then goes berserk, but Ben tells him he couldn't give his blood anyway because he had cancer. This is a reference to the Ban On Blood Donations From Gay Men in the USA implemented in 1985, and despite what the show says the policy isn't as set-in-stone as many media outlets make it seem. Doctors at hospitals are desperate for any compatible blood type in a pinch, and in real life, they more than likely wouldn't turn Brian away if he were on the scene. It's only at blood drives that they screen for gay men. It was all just a convenient excuse for a blatantly dramatic take on a real gay issue.

Luckily, another person on board also had T- blood — Sarek's son, Spock, and that had to be filtered because of Spocks human heritage. Since Vulcans have copper-based rather than Humans' iron-based blood, it's realistic that it would use a different blood type system. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Enemy", a Romulan that gets brought up to the Enterprise-D has a unique blood type that only one person on the ship has - Worf. Unfortunantly, Klingons and Romulans hate each other's guts and Worf refuses to give blood and the Romulan doesn't want it. Picard realizes that they need to save the Romulan to try and prevent an incident with the Romulans, but he isn't willing to force Worf to give blood. Ultimately, the Romulan passes away. note This episode actually makes zero sense whatsoever, as Romulans are an off-shoot of Vulcans, and have copper-based blood, which would be totally incompatible for donations from species with iron-based blood such as Klingons or Humans.

The Victim of the Week — an athlete who died of complications from blood aggulation — was found to have been injected with the blood of his teammates (essentially blood doping decades before it received mainstream attention), sending the characters on the search for athletes with "the bad kind of blood." As the investigation narrows down, they inadvertently discover the AB blood type (beating the rest of the scientific community in real life by almost a decade), explaining why one combination of blood is lethal while others were not.

AB Negative / int_8d814070	comment	MASH: In the episode "Life Time", Hawkeye and company are racing against the clock to save a soldier who of course has AB-, luckily Winchester has "that elusive type." In this case, the use is accurate and believable for the time period: in the '50s, it was thought that the more blood the patient had lost, the more important it was to provide the exact blood type, and it's only stated that AB- blood would be best for him, not that he can't have any other type. Additionally, the doctors had already used up the last of the blood they had in stock (matching type and otherwise), so given that they needed to find a donor to take blood from regardless, they might as well try to find a perfect match. An early episode has a North Korean patient with AB- needing a transfusion, and the only one in the entire camp with the same blood type is Frank. When the patient shows signs of hepatitis, Hawkeye and Trapper must keep him away from Hot Lips until his test results are in. The episode "Your Hit Parade" in Season 6 features an AB- patient during a period of heavy casualties. Hawkeye asks for 4 units during surgery, Klinger informs them they only had 2 to start with and both were used during the first batch of wounded. They mention collecting the patient's blood during surgery to filter and give back to him, then spend the rest of the episode trying to find more. The unavailability of any donors is partly justified by the heavy casualties and the other medical units being forced to bug out, but it is implied there are only 2 other people available to donate in Asia with the correct blood type; not once does anyone suggest using a different blood type, even as an emergency measure. (It also creates a possible Continuity Snarl with "Life Time" because there's apparently no one in the unit who can donate AB negative blood, but Winchester is already in the unit; even if there's a reason he can't donate at that time — most likely the unit not being able to afford to have a doctor not at full strength — you would expect it to at least be mentioned, especially given how quick Charles was to volunteer in the latter episode. A further snarl comes with the episode CAVE, in which Klinger, Mulcahy, and Winchester are all stated to have the same blood type - and Klinger's had already been stated as B+.)

AB Negative / int_9e2f90f4	comment	This is a significant plot point in One Piece, where Sanji is revealed to have a rare blood type, and Chopper runs out of spare blood for transfusions because Sanji keeps having incredible nose bleeds, prompting a crisis when the Fishmen refuse to donate blood to a human because their law prevents them from doing so. This gets played about with a bit more later in the same arc when Luffy is in dire need of a blood transfusion after fighting with Hody. No one else in the Straw Hats has the same blood type, but considering how small Luffy's crew is (and how one member doesn't even have blood and another one is a reindeer), this is fairly believable. There has been blood loss at least a few times with it being dealt with offscreen, so it's implied to be not particularly rare; the Straw Hats just didn't have another ready source on hand at that particular moment. Several fishmen nearby do have compatible blood, but are still hesitant to break the law. Jinbe ends up donating his blood, since he's a pirate and therefore doesn't follow the law. Also in the same arc, it's been said that Fisher Tiger died because humans refused to donate their blood for him while his no one from his crew shared the same blood type as him. The truth, however, was that Tiger refused to accept human blood because of his deep hatred towards humansnote because he was enslaved the Celestial Dragons and was just betrayed by the humans a moment ago, and he told his crew not to tell anybody about his hatred in order to minimize the racism towards humans (because he was ashamed of his own racism). Oh yes, and in One Piece, the blood types seen have been X, F, S, XF, and S RH-. These seem to line up directly with A, B, O, AB, and O- in real life. RH negative of all blood types is very rare in Japan (less than 1% of the population), which would line up well with Sanji's S RH- being so rare.

It's O-, making him a universal donor, however he actually wanted AB+ to make the character more capable of receiving medical treatment, but didn't know that there was a difference and the type he picked would only be useful if he just needed blood plasma. Pete is the one that brings the difference to his attention, and points out that that universal recipient would be preferable for the reasons Jim was going for, but Qui-Gon being a universal donor ends up being useful when he needs to give Anakin a blood transfusion.

John could be AO (type A) or BO (type B), but type AB is not possible. Sarah being unable to give blood to the AB- Derek Reese despite being a universal donor is correct due to compatibility for plasma being reversed compared to blood cells — someone with type O is the least useful donor because their plasma could contain antibodies against non-O blood types.

Ginko reacts by placing bugs on all the AB- blood donors, stopping Eva as she discovers it immediately, but it also causes a My God, What Have I Done? moment when he discovers why Eva kidnapped specifically AB- donors instead of compatible people: Diabolik had been victim of radiation poisoning that could be healed only with a full transfusion, requiring as much blood as five or six persons had, with Eva not being willing to take any risk. And, being unable to kidnap more people and take the standard donation doses, Eva exsanguinated the five donors she had kidnapped.

Unfortunantly, Klingons and Romulans hate each other's guts and Worf refuses to give blood and the Romulan doesn't want it. Picard realizes that they need to save the Romulan to try and prevent an incident with the Romulans, but he isn't willing to force Worf to give blood. Ultimately, the Romulan passes away. note This episode actually makes zero sense whatsoever, as Romulans are an off-shoot of Vulcans, and have copper-based blood, which would be totally incompatible for donations from species with iron-based blood such as Klingons or Humans.
