The problem with violence is that people tend to bleed when they are stabbed. Blood is scary. But changing the color of blood to something like black makes everything family-friendly, right? Pools and pools of nice, safe, black blood... Never mind the original violence. With any luck, this is just something tacked on to fit broadcast standards, with a more realistic color used for the DVD release. Some opt just to not show blood at all despite any violence. Black-and-white comic books (which includes most, if not all, manga) generally have black blood (where it's featured) out of necessity. Not to be confused with cases where the "blood" is supposed to be a different color, like with robots or some aliens, or it's an indication of a severe condition (say, being fatally poisoned). It's worth remembering that a large quantity of blood (especially venous) will look close to black, which is where this colour choice comes from in the first place. This is common in some video games as a form of Adjustable Censorship, where the player has the option of changing the blood color from red to something less realistic. If you're looking for high-class aristocrats, you want Blue Blood. Speaking of blue, see Blue Liquid Absorbent, where blood, particularly menstrual blood, is shown in blue to demonstrate the absorbency of maxi pads in advertisements. If you're looking for "black" in the sense of African, you want Pass Fail. Compare Rainbow Puke, where someone vomiting is depicted with rainbow colors instead of the normal to tone down the grossness. Not to be confused with Black Blood Brothers, The Blackblood Alliance, or Blood Is the New Black. Or Black Blood of the Earth. Or the other Black Blood of the Earth. |

Digimon: Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth renders all blood neon pink. This is most noticeable during a cutscene in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory which has a Gory Discretion Shot that fills the screen with pink blood. Digimon Survive instead opts to use standard black blood, which cleverly doubles as a Fade to Black during the more violent scenes. |

The US console release of Darkstalkers 3 uses white blood, which, at best, makes it look like sand or kitty litter. And, just to make things utterly nonsensical, Jedah's blood-based attacks are still rendered in the same color they were in the arcade. The effect this had on Dmitri's super attack is legendary. First he turns his opponent into a pretty female (if necessary), then he bites their neck, which causes a pool of blood to form directly under them. But in the censored version, it forms a pool of white fluid. The result looks nearly pornographic. | |

07-Ghost uses this from the first episode, when they bother to add in the blood at all. Very frustrating if you've read the manga and know the blood ought to be there when it isn't. Later in the series, the blood displayed becomes neon red, or magenta, but definitely not what real blood looks like! | |

In Helix, this is justified as a marker of infection with the viruses NARVIK-A and NARVIK-B. NARVIK-A infectees hemorrhage to death and liquefy into a black mess, while NARVIK-B infectees develop highly visible Tainted Veins and begin to excrete black mucus and Bad Black Barf from their mouths. | |

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance features pink blood. Rather than censorship, this is most likely due to the game's rather garish color palette note the previous entry was criticized due to being too difficult to play in the original GBA owned to a lack a backup light. Harmony of Dissonance overcompensated by having plenty of color saturation that also attracted some criticism. | |

Naruto: The anime adaptation rarely uses this trope, but it makes an exception when Gaara kills three competitors during the Chuunin Exams, a scene that featured more blood than the rest of the series combined. The black color of the blood might be a result of the blood thickening the sand. Also, the Brazilian release drastically darkened Hinata's blood on Naruto's hand after her defeat at the Chūnin Exam preliminaries. The German TV release apparently thought Naruto is great for elementary students and decided to censor it, sometimes making the blood black, sometimes censoring it to the point of deleting all the corpses (which ends up quite hilarious in the scene with the memory of Sasuke where he runs through his former hometown, only to find everyone dead, including his parents, since he freaks out over nothing). |

For Evil Dead 2, director Sam Raimi attempted to keep his R rating by filling the Deadites with every color of fluids except red. And then splatter it all on Bruce Campbell at once. It didn't work and the movie got slapped with an X rating anyway, so they opted to release it unrated instead. | |

Being a popular Shonen series, and also being produced before the days when violent anime was screened during the night, desaturated, typically-glowing white blood was the only way that Fist of the North Star could air on television at all. Of note is that this decision seems to have satisfied the censors enough to leave the series' trademark martial arts and killing techniques completely intact. | |

The trailer for Kill Bill Volume 1 digitally retouched the blood on the Bride to a black color for the scenes from the fight with the Crazy 88, just to get an All Audiences rating for it. In the movie itself, that fight scene was partially turned to black and white for the US release for a similar reason; audiences elsewhere got to see the gore as Tarantino intended. A few shots from the black and white sequence were shown in full color during the end credits for Volume 2. | |

Dragon Ball: During the Saiyan Saga, Goku bleeds black during the battle with Vegeta. Piccolo and other Nameks bleed purple blood in Dragon Ball Z, but it should be noted that both Piccolo Sr. and Piccolo Jr. had bleed red blood in some instances before they were revealed to be aliens - the former when he was bitten on the thumb and got a hole in his stomach (triggering his explosive death) and the later when he got his arm severely injured during his fight with Goku on the Budokai tournament, and severed his very own arm (only to regrow it again in a matter of seconds, as well as in the fight with Raditz). In the American censored version of the fight with Raditz, Piccolo Jr.'s red blood was edited to be green, invoking this trope. After it was revealed that he was an alien and his blood was retconned to be purple, it was no longer edited. In the censored TV versions of Dragon Ball Z Kai, all of Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta's blood is a brown-ish-black-ish color. |

Inuyasha: While the manga always depicts characters' blood as red in colored artwork, the anime makes use of this trope frequently — blood is most likely to look darker on characters wearing darker clothes. This can have the odd effect of making the wounds of the red-wearing protagonist more jarring. Averted in the movies; like in the manga, blood is always red. |

The PS2 port of Higurashi: When They Cry had this in all cases of blood in order to avoid a 18+ rating at a time where the CERO system was being reclassified. Oddly enough, the DS port restores the blood as red and still has the same rating as the PS2 version. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles: In the original release of Xenoblade Chronicles 1, splatters of blood shown in some cutscenes were colored red. However, in the Definitive Edition, these were recolored to be black. Oddly enough, the blood on Metal Face's claws after he stabbed someone remained red. In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, nearly all blood depicted is colored black. Examples include: Vandham getting shot through the chest at the start of the game, leaving black blood staining his clothes; the full flashback showing Joran's fate in which he is crushed under debris, with his blood pooling out from underneath; and Cammuravi gouging his own eye out to prevent himself from being controlled by Moebius, leaving behind trails of black blood pouring out from his empty socket. |

A hidden setting in Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 lets you change the enemy blood to green, black, or purple if red was making you feel too squeamish.note On console versions, open the Option menu and click both shoulder buttons. The first game is actually a bit more disturbing with black blood, because the default color is a not-very-realistic looking bright, translucent red like Kool-Aid. | |

The Serious Sam games allow you to change the blood from red to either green or "hippie", which replaces blood smears with images of flowers and the gibs with watermelons and other fruits. You can also disable the blood (and/or gibs) entirely. The "kids" option in the HD makeover has the blood replaced with sparkley stars, and gibs are now candy. | |

Dragon Age: Origins inverts this, for some reason. While many characters will remark on how the Darkspawn's tainted blood is black, all blood effects are rendered in bright red, no matter the race or species of the victim. The Warden can claim that this is a common misconception and it's actually red, but it burns when it touches you. This doesn't happen either. | |

Mortal Kombat: Even the franchise as a whole fell victim to this trope in its Japanese version. Blood is green, while fatalities are presented in monochrome. However, stage fatalities were presented in full color. Apparently, it's okay if an opponent falls thousands of feet onto stone, gets their flesh melted away, or hits spikes on the ceiling in color. Even censorship didn't save the franchise from being later banned altogether in Japan, however. The infamous SNES adaption of Mortal Kombat (1992) replaced blood pools with sprays of grey "sweat".

Smallville is guilty of this in at least two episodes. In the first, it was justified in that the guest character was Cyborg of Teen Titans fame and it wasn't blood but mech fluids (keeping in line with the comics). In a later episode that pitted General Zod against Clark, Clark gets a bloody lip that bleeds black blood (which is odd, as Clark has been shown to bleed red blood several times before). | |

The Colossi in the T-rated Shadow of the Colossus all bleed black blood when stabbed or shot. Then again, it might have looked weird if they had bled anything but black, given the aesthetic of the rest of the game. "Black Blood" is actually the name of one of the tracks on the OST. Wander also vomits black blood after each Colossus battle, as well as spraying a bunch when he's killed by Lord Emon's troops near the end of the game. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Famously, the original gold cartridge version had Ganondorf vomit red blood when Link killed him, but this was changed to green in later releases, among other changes (Link still bleeds red when taking damage, however). Twilight Princess displays a brief but rather large gush of black blood when attacking Shadow Beasts. Tears of the Kingdom: When Ganondorf tears the implanted Secret Stone out of his head in preparation to swallow it and undergo the forbidden draconification rite to gain enough overwhelming power to crush Link, the wound left in his forehead is filled with bubbling black ichor, indicating his Demon King form has this. |

Superman: The Pre-Crisis story Action Comics #544, introducing the revamped, SkeleBot 9000 version of Brainiac, shows Superman taking what was, at that time, an unprecedentedly graphic beating. His blood is colored black, and frankly, that just makes it creepier. Then again, this was the brief period in the mid-'80s when Gil Kane was inking his own work, lending a very surreal look to his normally very realistic pencils. The black blood is just one more factor making the already weird images start to veer into nightmare territory. At some points in The Death of Superman, Superman's blood is black as Doomsday cuts him, but not all the time. |

Danganronpa uses neon pink for its blood, though characters still describe it as red; contrary to common misconception by the fanbase, this wasn't to avoid any ratings issues (as the game already gets a high content rating for many other reasons) but was a conscious decision on the part of the devs to make the atmosphere less grim and more "psychopop". However, this only applies to fresh blood. Dried blood is depicted as dark red. This carries over to all titles in the franchise with the exception of Danganronpa 3 - Future Arc, where the comparatively more grim atmosphere is accompanied by more naturally red blood. Early builds of the first game can also be seen with red blood as well. In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, this even applies to Mechamaru bleeding oil, which is colored light blue. | |

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, the spiritual successor to the Danganronpa games, follows in its footsteps with neon pink blood for its victims. This time, though, the blood is actually acknowledged as pink in-universe, and it isn't until near the end of the game that the main characters realize just how strange that is. Then you start to wonder why Yuma's blood is red whenever he bleeds during the mystery labyrinths... setting up the twist that most of the murder victims were actually homunculi. | |

Italian dubs of various anime edit blood in many ways: sometimes they just recolor it in black/brown (as in most of the above examples), sometimes they just make the whole scene either in black and white (Case Closed, One Piece) or in sepia tones (One Piece, only in the Alabasta arc although)... but the most absurd one was in the earlier episodes of Naruto, where they not only made the blood black, but also gave grey skin to the bleeding characters. The scene in episode 6 when Naruto stabs his hand with a kunai becomes very narmful, with a lot of scenes showing his grey skin while his clothes, hair and everything else are still in full color. | |

In George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, a lot of the blood was actually digitally colored black in order to work it's way down to an R-rating for theaters. The Uncut DVD fixes this, and shows young girls a reason why navel piercings are a baaaad idea. | |

Used when Tintin is shot in the shoulder in The Blue Lotus; the adventure was drawn and originally printed (both in Le Petit Vingtième and in album form) in black and white. When it was republished in a colorized version over a decade later (in 1946) most of the original linework was left untouched. | |

House of the Dead does something similar with its "censored" release. All of the red bits that are result of the gore effects (so flesh, blood as well as some of the giant maggots) are changed to Green instead of red. However, bloody marks that appear on-screen upon getting hit are still red. Strangely, the Dreamcast port of House of the Dead 2 lets you switch between red and green blood, but the damage marks are permanently set to bright orange either way. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: This is likely being done in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle to both mimic the black-and-white coloring of the manga as well as keep the game from venturing beyond a Teen rating.

The Scarecrow enemies in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night have green blood instead of red, the only such example in the entire game, in fact. Perhaps done as a minor concession to good taste, since the enemy —a male or half-naked female corpse, gorily impaled on a pole— is already rather gruesome even with green blood. | |

In Fairy Tail, most - if not all - blood has been censored out of the anime, replaced with either comical injuries (lumps, red-marks) and thus played for laughs in the less serious moments, or a Gory Discretion Shot and/or darkened streaks or patches in more serious moments to imply where blood had either dried or been wiped away. The only times so far that this was ever solidly averted was in the movies Phoenix Priestess and Dragon Cry, where the injuries were both shown openly and bled freely, and in anime scenes where the characters actually or almost died from blood loss such as with God Serena getting torn open by Acnologia and when Juvia and Gray stab themselves to try and save the other. Of course, this is completely averted in the manga, where characters often bleed during fights. |

Saw 3D is infamous for having pink blood, an especially egregious characteristic given that this film is also Bloodier and Gorier than previous films in the Saw series. This, instead of being a form of censorship, was a deliberate choice by the filmmakers to ensure the blood looked red in 3D, but for whatever reason it was not colour corrected back for the 2D release. | |

The Japanese and European releases of No More Heroes turned all the blood black, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't close to being a playable Tarantino movie. A scene involved the sequence where, after defeating a woman in battle, she commits honourable suicide by depinning a grenade and holding it in her mouth, with predicable results. Since, just before, she told the main character that she was attracted to him, he awkwardly hugged her dead, still-standing, headless body. In the censored version, her head and shoulders were still attached, but completely black, ruining the impact. The game's sequels remain uncensored, however. | |

I=MGCM uses neon pink for the blood color. Especially in demons' death sprites in the gameplay, the CG of woman's corpse in Demon's Tower dungeon intro, and heroines' onscreen deaths scene in Chapter 6 Episode 5 in the first arc of the main story. Another one is an aversion, due to unusual color contrast of the CG scene. In the Chapter 12 Episode 5, the blood color is red in the scene where the main universe Iroha gets brutally impaled by Nemesis Iroha a.k.a. her Ultimate Magica Self, who has become a raging Fallen Hero. | |

Pokémon: The Series: In the anime, the few times Ash is cut onscreen he bleeds black. What's odd is that you see the blood fly through the air very dramatically, but his clothes remain uncut. The reason as to why Ash's blood is black is likely because of the animation style. Averted a few other times, like when Misty got cut on a vine or when N got attacked by a Pokemon. |

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's anime adaptation is usually able to depict blood as red, as it originally aired late at night on several channels in Japan. However, the theatrical release for the Mugen Train movie has a few key scenes where particularly big splashes of blood are colored black, such as Tanjiro's desperate maneuver to escape Enmu's dream world and the final battle clash, though afterwards the home release on Blu-Ray and DVD corrected that, making it red. | |

Averted in Ears for Elves here, which is surprising for a black-and-white comic. It's the only time color has been used in the main comic; the artists said that a great thing about making a webcomic was the ability to experiment. | |

Blood is sometimes described this way in The Red Tent, particularly when it results from particularly tragic deaths, such as Death by Childbirth. | |

Piccolo and other Nameks bleed purple blood in Dragon Ball Z, but it should be noted that both Piccolo Sr. and Piccolo Jr. had bleed red blood in some instances before they were revealed to be aliens - the former when he was bitten on the thumb and got a hole in his stomach (triggering his explosive death) and the later when he got his arm severely injured during his fight with Goku on the Budokai tournament, and severed his very own arm (only to regrow it again in a matter of seconds, as well as in the fight with Raditz). In the American censored version of the fight with Raditz, Piccolo Jr.'s red blood was edited to be green, invoking this trope. After it was revealed that he was an alien and his blood was retconned to be purple, it was no longer edited. | |

Early Shadow the Hedgehog trailers showed enemy alien characters spewing red blood when hit, but when ESRB announced a middle rating between Everyone and Teen, the developers changed the color to green. Of course, the aliens themselves are still reddish, not to mention the similarity of our titular hero's red blood to his otherworldly creators. | |

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance changed its red blood to white blood for the Japanese release. However, this does make fit as the cyborg character from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots had artificial white blood. One character in the Japanese version did keep red blood - Samuel - which helped reinforce the division between him, a human with a robot limb, and the full-body/almost full body cyborgs battled in most of the game. | |

Used occasionally in Catwoman. One notable example is in issue #23 — when Hilary shoots Jorge in the head, there is a big puddle of black blood oozing from the wound on the floor. | |

In The Little Mermaid Ursula has black blood first seen when Eric shoots a spear at her cutting her arm, then when he kills her by ramming her with the mast. Somewhat justified - Ursula's top half is human, and her bottom half is octopus-like. Cephalopods like octopi and squid have blue blood, which when mixed together with red human blood, might in fact come out somewhere close to black. | |

The Pre-Crisis story Action Comics #544, introducing the revamped, SkeleBot 9000 version of Brainiac, shows Superman taking what was, at that time, an unprecedentedly graphic beating. His blood is colored black, and frankly, that just makes it creepier. Then again, this was the brief period in the mid-'80s when Gil Kane was inking his own work, lending a very surreal look to his normally very realistic pencils. The black blood is just one more factor making the already weird images start to veer into nightmare territory. | |

Picture above: the heavily-censored "Knights of the Zodiac" English dub of Saint Seiya. Squid-ink blood was actual Dic being subtle, right up there with editing out the blood altogether — other scenes painted the blood neon green and called it "fighting spirit." Since Saint Seiya is a series where many characters become Overdrawn at the Blood Bank, this got silly very, very fast. | |

Parts seven and eight of the Friday the 13th series have much darker blood that the previous films, probably because the MPAA was really cracking down on horror films in the late 80s. | |
