In real life, the average adult has ten pints / five liters of blood. One gallon is equal to eight pints / 4.55 liters. When this trope is in play, for 'pints', read 'gallons.' Or more: all living things can contain several dozen gallons of blood, stored under incredible pressures. As a result, almost any damage by a cutting or piercing weapon will result in explosive jets of gore squirting out like a firehose. The trope is strong in anime and samurai movies. This may stem from traditional Kabuki Theatre, where the "blood" was really a long red silk scarf thrown in a great big arc. However, the first modern example, from the Akira Kurosawa film Sanjuro, appears to have been an accident. According to the crew, the pump that was meant to make the losing samurai bleed profusely blew a coupling when activated, causing the blood to pump out at full pressure rather than the intended rate. The unexpected force almost knocked over the actor, and it was all he could do to finish the scene, but they ended up using the take anyway — partly because it looked impressive, and partly because it was kind of difficult to have a second take after that much blood had gone all over the set and costumes. Ironically, this use of blood can have the effect of making the violence less disturbing because of how very obviously unrealistic it can be, especially in high quantities. It is a prime example of Refuge in Audacity. It also helps to mask the wound, so the bone and flesh damage is not shown. In real life, the carotid arteries and the aorta do have high pressure that can spurt when cut, but that's nowhere near the literal firehoses of blood so common in fiction. They are also located deep in the body (and in the case of the aorta, within the ribcage). Other more accessible blood vessels, not so much (they're limited to 3.3 oz / 100ml at each heartbeat). Fiction is so much more fun than nature! See Overdrawn at the Blood Bank, for when a character is shown shedding a lot more than five liters of blood. Contrast Bloodless Carnage. See also the Nosebleed effect, where arousal may cause spurts of blood from the nose. If it's used for comedy it's Bloody Hilarious. |

Used for black comedy in National Lampoon's European Vacation, when the Griswalds' car knock Eric Idle off his bicycle. Dismissing his injuries as Just a Flesh Wound, Idle offers them directions to the next tourist trap, and a thin but continuous stream of blood squirts out from his cut wrist in the direction he's pointing. | |

Used in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team when Norris Packard stabs a guntank through the cockpit. Blood splatters all the way up to his Mobile Suit's head. May be averted. Like Megaman X4, it seems that the liquid was some type of oil, rather than blood. Gundam Extreme Vs even shows the liquid as being more black when it comes out, usually when stabbing a unit in the shoulder. |

In the "Unlucky Charm" sidequest in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a thief named Edwin Hoswig is stabbed and left for dead by his partner. If you talk to Hoswig later on in the quest, he spends the entire conversation gushing blood from his neck in ludicrously large and long spurts which in real life would've left him dead before he could finish his first few sentences. Another gratuitous use of blood is several of the animations which take place when you kill an enemy while Fateshifting. | |

Anyone cut by a Shinigami's sword in Bleach. The worst example has to be when Renji gets hit by the full force of Byakuya's bankai. Cue massive explosion of blood. What Kenpachi did to Tesla is perhaps more spectacular. By getting his hand cut, Tesla manages to make it look like he just got split in half. He didn't, but you wouldn't know it from all the blood he loses. He also does lose that hand. Turn into Low Pressure Blood by Ulquiorra, who defies all logic when it comes to blood. His arm up to his shoulder gets chopped off, but it only gets a few drops going. And his waist down, an arm, and a wing? Good god, there isn't even a speck anywhere! And this is in the manga. |

School Days: One of the endings features a major character (Sekai) being slit across the throat. After three seconds, two fountains of super high-pressure blood spew like hell for around twenty seconds. The weirdest part is that all the other characters just stand there as if nothing happens. In reality, when the artery in the neck gets cut, bursts of blood like this are not uncommon. The victim is unlikely to remain standing upright though — and it's quite a shocking sight for bystanders. Also: Kotonoha's infamous suicide, in which she throws herself off the building Makoto lives in right after he definitely rejects her — and she hits the ground very bloodily in front of Sekai and Makoto. |

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Glen is dragged into his bed by Freddy, disappearing into a hole - and a massive geyser of blood comes exploding out. No, this was not in the nightmare; later in the movie, we see cops carrying down buckets from the boy's room. It is implied it's partially Freddy's power as he breaches the barrier between the dream world and the real world, but man, there are a LOT of buckets. | |

Breath of Fire IV had a scene where Fou-lu ends up decapitating usurper Soniel with the very Evil Weapon that Soniel backstabbed Fou-lu with. The screen goes to black silhouette, you see Fou-lu's silhouette whip out the sword, and you see Soniel's silhouette suddenly headless and geysering (silhouette) blood. This scene was completely Bowdlerised from non-Japanese versions of the game to the point where the manga adaption turned the scene — including the graphic depiction of Soniel's decapitation and all the PSI in his aorta — in a deliberate Take That!. | |

Every character in Fist of the North Star (especially minor villains). The show is probably one of the most graphic, violent anime in all of history, and even the most minor of cuts causes a blood spew of several dozen feet. Of course, when the main character possesses the ability to make anyone he feels like literally explode with a couple well-placed punches, this is generally overlooked. The manga is even more violent... | |

Kill Bill: Dozens of people in the first installment. The effect was achieved with the old-fashioned method of filling condoms with blood and putting them under the actors' clothing. The animated section covering the origin of O-Ren Ishii uses this as well. When her father is stabbed, geysers of blood spray from the wound and spray all over the room. This is done to a satirical extent; a bloodless silhouette of the murderer is left on the ceiling. Possibly Played for Laughs when O-Ren decapitates Boss Tanaka for insulting her, as it results in a ten-foot-tall fountain of blood spouting from his body that looks like something straight out of Monty Python. |

Attack on Titan manages to avoid this for the most part, except in completely justified instances. When Bertolt Hoover suffers a Slashed Throat, blood sprays out as would be expected from a major artery. He gets a hand over the wound, but blood still sprays out from beneath his palm. The anime uses this for the purpose of drama, with blood splattering dramatically out around his teeth whenever Eren bites his hand. |

In Cowboy Bebop. The "Black Dog Serenade" episode. Udai Taxim slits someone's throat and the blood sprays out like crazy, however, since they're in zero gravity, it's probably justified. What makes this example funny is that there is no wound animated to match the blood — it sprays from the victim's intact neck. | |

An odd one goes out to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Angels get injured? The streets run red with blood. In End of Evangelion this trope is taken to its logical extreme when Giant Naked Rei's head comes off. Of course, she is the product of every single person rolled into one, so it's somewhat justified. The pressure is so high that it shoots blood so far that a line of red appears across the moon. The mark is visible in Rebuild too. In Rebuild of Evangelion, this is even more extreme, as Angels who are defeated explode into a massive cloud of blood and gore. There is an ocean of blood in the middle of Tokyo-3 after the first fight with Sachiel. Shooting Ramiel ends up in the walls being covered in a wave of platelets. It makes sense, seeing as they're hundreds of feet tall, but my God, you could supply the Red Cross endlessly with what one Angel bleeds out in a fight. The blood is enhanced in Rebuild, and there's even rainbows forming in it. Rebuild 2.0 has the absolute record: when Sahaquiel bites the dust, it explodes into a tsunami of blood. Tokyo-3 actually loses a few skyscrapers due to the pressure. |

After getting shot by Mechagodzilla's finger missiles in Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla sprays several jets of high-pressure blood from his neck. In the previous film in the series, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, Godzilla loses enough blood in this way that most of his head and upper body are painted red midway through the initial Curbstomp Battle he suffers against his mechanical counterpart. | |

In the Littlest Pet Shop (2012) episode "Bakers and Fakers", the Biskit Twins create a cake modeled after themselves.

The ending of his film Ran showcases one of the best cases when General Kurogane beheads the treacherously evil Lady Kaede, for all the nasty acts she pulled throughout the film. The resultant geyser of blood that spurts across the wall behind is a thing of beauty. The view of the actual decapitation, though, is nicely blocked from view . | |

Higurashi: When They Cry, despite being almost as bloody as Elfen Lied on many occasions, actually manages to avoid this. Blood does fly around, but it's spatters from the force of impact (killing is almost always done by bludgeoning; when the weapon is a knife or other bladed object, it's repeated forceful stabbing). Used much more in the sequel, Umineko: When They Cry. Played completely straight in Higurashi Gou/Sotsu, where it's enough to literally paint an entire room red. |

The original Mortal Kombat games earned at least part of their (at the time) legendary notoriety for the sheer amount of blood that spewed off the fighters with each connected punch or kick. The more recent sequels have toned this down, though Mortal Kombat 9 exaggerates this trope. To drive the point home, there is actually an achievement/trophy for spilling 10,000 pints of blood. You will earn it quickly. | |

Berserk: The original manga, although it provides sloshing blood in abundance, tends not to deliver it in pressure jets except in a few specific instances: In volume 3, the Brand of Sacrifice on Guts' neck—which only trickles blood in the presence of a normal demon—squirts out a spray of blood when he tries to approach Femto, a supreme evil being as well the one who caused him to be branded. Guts, completely incapacitated by the pain, is told that the agony from his brand will kill him if he doesn't give up. Berserk (1997) uses copious high-pressure blood as a stylistic flair; In episode 3's duel between Guts and Griffith, for instance, each shallow slashing cut that Griffith opens on Guts' arms and legs shoot out a ribbon of blood perhaps two feet long! |

Could be vaguely justified in that the bead was granting Yoshirou greater vitality than a normal dog, but was more likely included simply for Rule of Cool. | |

At the end of the Death Note anime, Mikami stabs himself with a pen in grief, resulting in a blood fountain so over the top it's sometimes considered an unwitting source of humor amongst the otherwise dark tone of the scene. That was the only episode to get a TV-MA rating on [adult swim]. | |

Though most deaths are portrayed realistically, sometimes the blood spray can be over the top in the Spike show 1,000 Ways to Die. Other times, the show inverts this trope and the wounds yield very little blood, if any at all. | |

Killer7 has the blood coming by the gallons: enemies killed normally would spray blood for several seconds before vanishing while those hit in their weak spot would explode into a blood mist, and one character's special ability involved spraying blood from her wrist to break barriers. And then there's Cloudman (4:45 for those who don't want any story spoiling). | |

The anime Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan has any injury involving the main characters causing a volcanic eruption of blood to the point (and intentionally so) of being absurd. In the most extreme example, at the end of the final episode of the first season, the main character has his whole upper body splattered away, then his lower body begins spewing blood at high enough pressure that it starts moving around on the floor. Then flying around the room. Then out a window and into the night sky, landing several blocks away. |

Case Closed at the very first chapter has a scene where a girlfriend cuts off the head of her boyfriend during a dark part of a roller coaster ride. Once the coaster leaves the darkened area, you're greeted with a man who has a fountain of blood for a head. It is so bloody that the anime replaced it with a glaring light, showing where the head once was, but the 2016 TV special retelling shows the fountain in all its glory. Other than that, the series has very realistic blood-spread. | |

Godzilla: Godzilla gets to show off a fantastic example of this trope when Gigan hits his shoulder with his buzzsaw. After getting shot by Mechagodzilla's finger missiles in Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla sprays several jets of high-pressure blood from his neck. In the previous film in the series, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, Godzilla loses enough blood in this way that most of his head and upper body are painted red midway through the initial Curbstomp Battle he suffers against his mechanical counterpart. |

The 2007 film of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street uses this frequently. (For the record, this runs against the musical it's an adaptation of, which has prop razors that squirt a tiny amount of stage blood.) It also subverts it for the deaths of Sweeney himself and his wife Lucy. For those two, despite having their throats slashed just like everyone else, the blood flows out gently without spurting. | |

God of War:: The cutscenes of God of War often show Kratos killing his enemies. These killings usually involve fountains of blood spilling forth. III turned things up a notch by using the more powerful PS3 system to add even more blood, that goes everywhere, and even covers Kratos (though it vanishes off him pretty quick). |

In Rebuild of Evangelion, this is even more extreme, as Angels who are defeated explode into a massive cloud of blood and gore. There is an ocean of blood in the middle of Tokyo-3 after the first fight with Sachiel. Shooting Ramiel ends up in the walls being covered in a wave of platelets. It makes sense, seeing as they're hundreds of feet tall, but my God, you could supply the Red Cross endlessly with what one Angel bleeds out in a fight. The blood is enhanced in Rebuild, and there's even rainbows forming in it. | |

Ms. Fortune from Skullgirls is not only an example of this trope, but she also uses it to her advantage.

Parodied before the trope became famous in an original-cast Saturday Night Live sketch. Julia Child (as played by Dan Ackroyd) nicks a finger while cutting up some chicken. We don't see anything at first, but soon a drop of blood shows up. The drop becomes a trickle, the trickle becomes a stream... You get the idea. Comes up in a recent sketch where host Kristen Wiig and Aidy Bryant play acupuncture attendants who somehow puncture several blood vessels in patient Jason Sudeikis' back. Cue a massive fountain of blood... |

Kingdom of Heaven could be guilty of this. During the caravan ambush scene, when Guy de Lusignian kills a Saracen, blood spurts up into the and and onto his face. And on a downward stroke. In the three-hour Director's Cut, you actually see the brutal damage done by this downward stroke. It cleaves the Saracen from shoulder to opposite hip, presumably slicing through his heart which could potentially explain the spray of blood. |

The Team Fortress 2 short "Meet the Sandvich" includes a (mercifully censored) variant of this, best summed up by the line: "My blood! He-he punched out ALL my blood!". Then there was "Meet the Spy", where the BLU spy's head is utterly obliterated with a thin stream of blood flying out of what's left of his neck. The Eyelander or The Scotsman's Skullcutter. When either score a kill, it severs its victim's head from their neck, accompanied by a veritable geyser of vital fluids. The Garry's Mod joke character "Christian Brutal Sniper" has the odd ability to provoke this in his victims. Even a simple attack will create bursts of blood, and striking them again will make more. |

Played for laughs in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Midway through, Van Helsing has the hero pound a stake into vampirized Lucy Westenra. At the first blow of the hammer, the hero gets drenched with about 30 gallons of blood rocketing out of the coffin with the force of a fire hose. Van Helsing is safely out of the way, having taken shelter behind a pillar. Also an example of Enforced Method Acting. The actor was not told there would be that much blood and is visibly trying not to laugh. Another example is when Renfield gets a "paper-cut" and an obnoxious fountain of blood shoots out of his finger, much to the delight of Dracula. |

No More Heroes uses this to the extreme: often, blood will spurn out wildly and cover anything in a 100-yard radius. Its equivalent of Everything Fades is dead bodies vanishing in a puff of blood — apparently, any non-major character who dies simply explodes into a smoky cloud of blood. Unfortunately, this was only applied to the USA release; the Japanese and European releases replaced the blood with black mist. | |

Referenced in a Monty Python's Flying Circus skit where a movie director talks about a scene where "the blood comes gushing out, pshhh! in slow motion". Then, of course, there's the "Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days" skit, which applies this to some rather Made of Plasticine people in a picnic scene. And the Black Knight in Holy Grail. | |

Survival of the Fittest is usually realistic about wounds and the like; but there are cases where this occurs, where wounds cause an absurd amount of blood to come out. For example, Jacob Starr bleeds out in about 10 seconds after his throat is slashed. Especially ironic because he had previously been Made of Iron. | |

In Kamen Rider Den-O, dying Imagin usually just explode like most everything in Toku. However, in the third movie, when Momotaros is badly injured fighting Yu-Ki, he exhibits High-Pressure Sand (since Imagin are time-traveling monsters made of sand) because it's more dramatic that way. And while we're on the subject, way back in the 70s, Kamen Rider Amazon had this, since instead of kicking the monster to make it explode, Amazon would use his arm blades to make the monster bleed out and keel over, and this trope was so very much in effect. The Moral Guardians protested this however, so he went back to the "kick to explode"-style finisher about midway through the show. Kamen Rider Amazons, despite being Bloodier and Gorier than the original Amazon, averts this for the most but The Last Judgement does have an instance where Amazon Alpha cleaves off Amazon Neo Alpha's right arm. |

Beyond all the bloody displays in the Warrior Cats series, the most blatant use of this trope is at the end of Sunset after Brambleclaw stabs Hawkfrost in the throat with a wooden stake. After he removes the stake, blood splashes out of Hawkfrost's wound like there's no tomorrow. Hawkfrost then gets up and proceeds to deliver his Final Speech, which causes blood to flow faster and faster from his wound. By the time he's done, you would expect him to have lost at least three cats' worth of blood; but then he falls into the lake and proceeds to fill it with what little of the red stuff he's got left in him. Tigerstar has some High-Pressure Blood moments, too. Maybe it's genetic? Any time he gets wounded, blood pours out, most notably when he bleeds to death nine times in a row after being wounded by Scourge in The Darkest Hour. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi usually averts this, which making it much more significant when it does occur. So far it's only happened twice. It happened during a Battle in the Center of the Mind to show the pain that Negi was experiencing. The one that occurred in reality has Negi vomiting several gallons of blood after getting his internal organs more-or-less pulverized by Jack Rakan in the final match of the tournament. Also played for laughs when Kaede is sent flying into a stone wall at about 90 miles an hour. Anya wonders if she's dead, and she immediately clears from the smoke with blood over her forehead and what looks like a water fountain of blood coming out of her skull. She doesn't even acknowledge it. |

Being killed with a shot to the head in Gears of War with certain weapons will pretty much cause heads to explode. In the sequel, everything loses what appears to be enough blood to easily knock someone out from the impact of bullets hitting alone.

In Dead Rising, people apparently turn into water balloons when they become zombies, shedding at least a gallon of the red stuff if anything remotely pointy hits them. The same goes for the living, though not to such an extreme. Interesting that Burt and Paul are able to follow Frank to the maintenance room without assistance even after leaving splatters all over the walls. The best example is that you can get a showerhead and jam it into a zombie's forehead. It will then rain blood for about thirty seconds, though the zombie will continue to shuffle around (and you can take a picture for hilarity's sake), only falling over when the blood stops flowing. That is some high-pressure blood! |

My Little Pony: The Movie (1986): When Reeka stabs the Phlume's bulb with a pick, its sap starts shooting out from the wound this fashion and sprays out shortly after, with enough force to push back Reeka as she tries to bottle it. | |

Expect this at all times during battle scenes in Hellsing, especially when Alucard starts going for an opponent's throat. | |

And while we're on the subject, way back in the 70s, Kamen Rider Amazon had this, since instead of kicking the monster to make it explode, Amazon would use his arm blades to make the monster bleed out and keel over, and this trope was so very much in effect. The Moral Guardians protested this however, so he went back to the "kick to explode"-style finisher about midway through the show. | |

YuYu Hakusho had a spectacular example of this — when Hiei was bitten by a particular demon, he emitted enough blood to power a few high-pressure water cannons. | |

In the rampaging climax of The Cabin in the Woods, Hadley finally gets to see his merman. As it mauls him, spurting ridiculous amounts of blood from its blowhole. | |

Eternal Fighter Zero is a bloodless game with the sole exception of Ikumi Amasawa. Many of her attacks spill lots of high-pressure blood around; she can collect it for use in her special attacks. | |

Saint Seiya is pretty infamous for this. The fights where one of the contenders (if not both) doesn't lose at least half of his blood are almost rare. | |

The Devil's Mirror, a Bloodier and Gorier kung-fu film, is crammed with these. Notably the hero's father who gets skewered by seven swords at the same time as part of his excessively lengthy death... which leads to a literal geyser of blood to the ceiling. | |
