The Hero and the villain face off in battle. They both pull their weapons and charge at each other. After the first blow, we see a shot of the floor beneath one of the combatants. A stream of blood trickles down. This is a common way to show that the battle is serious and one of the characters is injured. Often, the next shot will be of the injured party touching their wound and expressing shock at the fact that they're bleeding. This is a common trope in any show that involves a lot of bleeding. Sometimes, a Blood Upgrade results from this. Compare Paper Cutting and Victory by First Blood. Has jack all to do with the first installment of the same name in the Rambo franchise, or the Actionized Sequel, Rambo: First Blood Part II. Examples |

In Dune, Paul has to duel one of the fremen. He draws blood first and asks if his opponent wishes to end the match, but everyone watching is disgusted until it's explained that Paul was taught to consider that the end of a duel. However, fremen fight to the death, so he has to continue to the end. | |

Supergirl (2015): In "Reign", Supergirl and Reign the Worldkiller's fight seemed an even match at first. Then Reign hits her in the head hard enough to make her bleed. Supergirl is completely shocked and touches the wound in disbelief, as this is the first time ever that she has bled without either kryptonite, magic, or being depowered (not even being punched by a completely enraged Superman in an earlier episode was able to do it). Reign then treats her to a horrific No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that ends with her hospitalized. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: The final fight in King of Swords ends with 82 White Chain striking Solomon David in a Punch Parry Single-Stroke Battle. As the Super-Speed effect ends and White Chain ends up behind him, Solomon immediately touches his cheek to check for spilt blood (as this would make White Chain the first legal winner of his tournament since its creation)... Only to find she only bruised him after all. Solomon looks more disappointed at the lack of blood than upset at the thought of someone almost having wounded him. | |

In Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, after losing his eighth of nine lives, Puss encounters a bounty hunter wolf at a bar who's eager to claim the price on his head. Puss spars with him, but the wolf quickly overpowers him and slashes his forehead, drawing blood from Puss. Seeing his blood on his paw — and realizing his next death will be permanent — causes Puss to lose his nerve and flee. It later turns out he never could have won that fight, anyway - the bounty hunter is literally The Grim Reaper. | |

Played tragically in the League of Legends cinematic Kin of the Stained Blade, where Yasuo is trying not to fight his brother until Yone breaks a blade in his face and scars him across the nose. He gets serious and ultimately 'wins,' to carry guilt and regret for the rest of his life. | |

In The Matrix Reloaded, after Neo stops a slew bullets, the Mooks whip out swords and start fighting Neo. After Neo performs a Bare-Handed Blade Block, a drop of blood goes from his hand to the floor, causing the Merovengian to say "You see? He's just a man!" Cue Neo trashing all of Merovengian's Mooks within minutes. | |
