| Dramatic Red Samurai Background | comment |
A staple of samurai fiction, that started with the film Samurai Fiction, and has since spilled over into other areas of particularly Japanese, but even some western media. Often overlapping with a Single-Stroke Battle, when someone deals a killing blow, the screen turns stark red, black, and white for extra dramatic effect. Characters are typically rendered as silhouettes, or extremely high contrast. The red and the shadows inter-playing may stand in for High-Pressure Blood. This isn't just for killing strokes, however. Sometimes it's a way to introduce a samurai rather than end him. In this sense the red background is more evocative of a setting sun or a bloody moon effect. Either way, it lets you know you're dealing with either a serious fighter, or a serious attack. A specific type of Monochromatic Impact Shot. Compare Single-Stroke Battle. Also due to the sister genres of samurai and westerns, could be part of a Showdown at High Noon, or gun duel. In which case you may sub in red for yellow for all that dust. See also Red Filter of Doom for red lighting in a more general sense, and Black Screen of Death when the screen flashes to hide the action rather than stylizing it. |

In old Samurai Shodown games, when a Zetsumei Ougi move is performed, a Black Screen of Death with a white line that slashed the screen appears when the enemy is finished with this move. In 2019 when performing an Issen, the black screen is followed by a red one and the character performing the move is in black and white in a samurai movie-like fashion. | |

Fire Emblem: Sometimes an added effect for the One-Hit Kill, Lethality assassin skill. Played straight particularly in Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates. The screen turns stark red and all the characters become silhouettes. On impact there's a blood splatter effect before the scene returns to normal. | |

The Simpsons: A blink-and-you-miss-it reference in a throw-away scene from "The Monkey Suit" the family sits down for a movie about the history of nunchuks, that begins with a silhouetted figure using them against a red background with the title rendered in a stereotypical 'Asian' font. | |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Ridley's reveal trailer has him grab Mega Man and Mario and stab them with his tail; the acts are done in front of a bright red background, with their bodies and his tail in complete black. Like in his game of origin, Joker's Final Smash, "All-Out Attack", has him call on his teammates to barrage his opponent(s), with the deed framed in black against a red background —as this is an E10+ Nintendo game, the spray of blood coming out of the victims is instead a stream of stars. |

RWBY: Adam Taurus' Semblance, Moonslice, allows him to absorb kinetic energy into his sword, which he then unleashes in a single attack. Usually, this causes the background to turn red with him as a black silhouette (save for his hair and the markings on his mask which glow a brighter red). This gets twisted around in Volume 6 with his fight against Blake and Yang, where he uses his semblance on Yang, but when the flash of red from his attack fades, Yang has caught his sword in her robotic hand. | |

The 1980s Fist of the North Star anime occassionaly uses this whenever goons at the receiving end of Kenshiro's blows promptly explode into chunky salsa, rendering them as black silhouettes in a bright red background. | |

Kill Bill: As a direct Shout-Out to Samurai Fiction, Kill Bill features a silhouetted battle, but against a blue backdrop instead. | |

Die in Infernax and the screen becomes black silhouettes against a red backdrop as whoever killed you finishes you off. Ironically enough, the same technique is used in the Ultimate Good ending as Alcedor pulverizes Baphomet's skull. | |

The One Piece anime famously depicted Luffy's first loss to Crocodile, possibly the first time he's genuinely come close to dying in a fight this way. | |

Dragon Ball Super: When Vegeta takes a blast from Zamasu to protect Trunks, the screen switches to black and red. The blast was actually non-lethal, so it was more for dramatic effect. | |

Hunter × Hunter: This is used in the anime adaptation of the Greed Island arc. When Battera tearfully describes his lover, the screen jarringly turns red and black when he mentions that she was in a fatal accident. | |

Eltorro64Rus: In Gravity Fails, a variation of this trope appears at the end of the RED and BLU Scouts' anime-style Single-Stroke Battle, appearing as a pink background with Speed Stripes and cherry blossom petals while RED Scout slices through BLU's stomach, both rendered as white silhouettes. | |
