So you just stabbed, sliced, or gored in some way a few mooks or perhaps someone more important. But wait, there's blood on your sword! Eww, gross! No worries, just perform a swift cutting motion and all that nasty gunk will fly right off (possibly leaving a cool, dramatic splatter on the floor and/or camera)! It's called chiburui in Real Life, as there's enough blood on the sword, it'll rust faster, but it was more common to clean the sword on a convenient piece of cloth (such as that worn by the dead enemy). Other liquids (such as water or oil) don't usually count, unless there's some symbolism to it. In many recent Japanese films, because the blood is often CGI, this method will be shown as completely effective. This leads to a case of Reality Being Unrealistic, as the act of chiburui does not completely clean a blade. Samurai would often wipe their blade off after performing chiburui to ensure it was clean before sheathing it. But don't expect to see that part. Related to Finishing Move and Victory Pose (as part of the flair that goes with it), and while not exclusive to katanas (sometimes not even exclusive to swords), the katana looks best for it. This may be because it was originally a katana technique (more or less), as well as katanas having a thin blade for their length thus making the action much simpler than with a European broadsword. Compare Smoking Barrel Blowout and Licking the Blade. |

Bleach Used extremely frequently. Usually, it's done after a Single-Stroke Battle to emphasize how effortlessly the victor won. During Kenpachi Zaraki's duel with Nnoitra Gilga, Kenny flicks the blood off his zanpakuto after stabbing Nnoitra. |

The Night Unfurls: One of Kyril's habits is to swing his Saw Cleaver or the Holy Moonlight Sword down to flick the blood off of the blade. Combined with Victory Pose, Hugh rids his Chikage of blood of Michelle after their Trial by Combat ending with a Single-Stroke Battle. A bit ironic considering that the katana consumes blood, but it still works. |

Happens several times in the Crazy 88 battle in Kill Bill, as well as after the fight between O-Ren and The Bride. And when O-Ren deals with the belligerent Yakuza boss. Realistically, however, the sword is still clearly bloody as she sheaths it right after. |

In Soul Eater, Medusa does this to Erika and the eldest Mizune sister. It's done with drool after she shoves her hands in their mouths to make them shut up.

A combat feat to do this menacingly exists in Pathfinder. Downing a foe with the Killing Finish feat, provided for use in performance combat, results in a demoralizing spray of blood against nearby enemies as you prepare for the next one. The Mythic Champion ability Clean Blade goes a step further and involves taking a free action after a successful critical hit to swipe the blood and gore off your blade directly onto an opponent, sickening opponents and potentially blinding them. | |

A trademark trait of the Ghostface killers in the Scream movies is wiping off the blood from their knives with either their gloves or robes after a kill. Behind the scenes, this was an idea that one of the stunt performers came up with in order to avoid continuity problems in the first film, which has stuck with the series since then. In the fifth film, Sam doing this after brutally killing Ghostface highlights her similarity to her birth father Billy Loomis. | |

In Ghost of Tsushima, the player can have Jin sheathe the blade manually by swiping right on the Touchpad, and if the sword is bloody, Jin will enact this trope. There are several variations, including the classic swipe-to-the-ground, pulling the blade back quickly towards the elbow, running the katana through the crease of his left elbow, and in the Director's Cut, giving the sword a quick spin. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe averts this when Peter saves his sister from a wolf by killing him with his sword. When Aslan comes onto the scene, his first comment is that Peter has not cleaned his sword. Peter does so and the lion dubs him with an honorific, followed by the advice to always clean his sword. It's a bit of a Running Gag in the series, all the way up to The Last Battle when the King reprimands Eustace for putting his sword back in the sheath bloody. There are also a few mentions of this trope being averted when they wipe the blade on the grass. |

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has Raiden doing a few variants on this. After an extended combo string, he simply whips the sword to the side and goes back to his Idle Animation. After defeating the RAY the first time, he does the same, then runs the sword through the crease of his elbow, before sheathing it. This would clean the blade, if it actually had any blood on it. That is also his victory pose in the VR Training missions. After performing a stealth kill ("Ninja Kill") on a humanoid cyborg from behind, Raiden whips the sword to the side, the blood noticeably flying off the blade and splattering onto the nearby surface. Considering the nature of his weapon, it might not even be necessary to begin with. | |
