| Secret Stab Wound | comment |
A subtrope of the Game-Breaking Injury and/or Bullet Holes and Revelations. When a character hides that they've received a GBI, and in some cases may be Secretly Dying. The key is that it's not necessarily revealed by a fight scene and that they hide it from their friends as well — differentiating it from Mortal Wound Reveal. Often accompanied by the injured party stating that "it was nothing", "I'm fine", or after the seriousness is discovered, "I Can Still Fight!". Only a Flesh Wound if the character survives, and the Truth in Television aversion of the Instant Death Bullet when the injury is fatal. In the appropriate setting, this may lead to the sufferer becoming a Zombie Infectee. If the injury is discovered posthumously, it can fall into Time-Delayed Death. If someone is particularly good at hiding the wound, their friends might not notice until they collapse, or maybe not even until after that. A subtrope to Clothing-Concealed Injury. See also Hiding the Handicap and Belated Injury Realization. |

| Secret Stab Wound / int_69cdb7fd | comment |
Older Than Print: Sir Gareth of Arthurian legend jousted with a Black Knight. Both knights were thrown from their horses on impact, but while Gareth was unharmed, the Black Knight's armor was penetrated and he abruptly fell dead during the ensuing swordfight. | |

Similarly, Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, suffered 150% casualties during its stint of service during WWII. In addition to replacements rotated through to keep the company strength up, many of the soldiers would sneak out of the hospital to return to the unit. | |

| Secret Stab Wound / int_d397657d | comment |
In the first game, von Karma's secret bullet wound was so secret he never got the bullet taken out. While he was recuperating, he just didn't attend any trials. Which eventually led to his downfall | |

Bring My Red Jacket | |
| Secret Stab Wound / int_f8417766 | comment |
There's a famous joke about a captain or admiral who habitually wears a red jacket into battle so his crew won't notice if he gets wounded and therefore won't lose morale. The punchline comes when a huge enemy fleet is sighted and he requests brown pants in addition to the red jacket. | |
