Ever notice how much more dramatic blood looks on a white background? It follows that wearing a white shirt can be more hazardous than wearing a Red Shirt. The death of a white shirt wearer will be much bloodier than that of your traditional red shirt. Also, in China, Japan, Korea, and any Fantasy Counterpart Culture strongly influenced by the same, white is the traditional color for funeral or burial clothing, derived from historical Buddhist practice. A quite literal interpretation of the trope existed in the Bulgarian army around the beginning of the 20th century as some common soldiers would keep a white shirt for last and put it on when defeat seemed imminent, in odd contrast to Bring My Red Jacket. Compare Snow Means Death, which uses the color white to similar effect. See also Ethereal White Dress, for when the violent event is only implied or is part of a backstory, Villain in a White Suit, Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress, and Bedsheet Ghost. Contrast Bring My Red Jacket and White Is Pure. Since this is a Death Trope, expect unmarked spoilers in the examples below! |

Invoked and (somewhat) Inverted in Tokyo Ghoul. During an internal monologue, Naki explains that the White Suits dress that way so that the blood spilled during a fight will show better. As the front-line fighters, the gang tends to suffer gruesome injuries and numerous deaths over the course of the series. | |

The Defenders (2017): Alexandra, leading Finger of the Hand, always wears white outfits. White is a color associated with death in some Asian cultures (K'un-L'un is in the Himalayas), and this is officially emphasized as white is the color she's wearing when Elektra kills her. | |

Umineko: When They Cry: Battler Ushiromiya combines white shirt with Bring My Red Jacket; his habitual outfit is a white suit with a red shirt. Although he doesn't tend to die in as many arcs as some of the other characters, his luck still sucks a lot. Subverted, at the end of the series he is shown to be the only one besides Eva that survived Rokkenjima. |

As a Genre Savvy character like himself should have expected, he ends up with a leg injury. It's not fatal and not even that bad, but it sure seems to bleed a lot: | |

Every standard headcrab zombie in Half-Life 2 wears a very blood-covered white shirt. This was lampshaded in the parody comic Concerned: Frohman becomes a zombie and laments that "He had to be wearing white" at the time (referencing both the zombies' bloody white shirts and the fact that he had started to adjust to life in Ravenholm). | |

Supernatural: In the episode "What Is And What Should Never Be" (S02, Ep20), the woman in white's blouse has more bloodstains each time she appears until her garments are soaked in blood. In "Hollywood Babylon" a Victim of the Week is dragged into a Deadly Rotary Fan, spraying blood over a white reflector board used for the camera lights. Played for Black Comedy in "Weekend at Bobby's". A neighbour of Bobby's who's expressed some romantic interest changes her mind when he shoves a vampire into her wood chipper, splattering her white nightie with the subsequent mess. |

24: Samantha Roth during Day 7. Also, later on in the same season, Erica. Although he doesn't die for obvious reasons, after getting stabbed a couple times in the first episode of the sixth season Jack Bauer's white shirt is left completely blood-stained until he changes it in the following episode, not helped by it getting covered in even more blood when he bites out his would-be killer's throat. In the first season, Jack gets Alexis Drazen's blood all over his white shirt as he desperately tries to keep him from bleeding out after he's unexpectedly stabbed in the gut. |

Inuyasha often sustains his worst injuries when he's stripped down to his white undershirt, losing the protection of his armored kimono. The most notable example was during his fight with Goshinki, who predicted his every move, avoided his attacks, clawed his back open, and left him dying in a pool of his own blood. He got better. | |

Mr. Blank from Sam & Fuzzy wears an all-white ninja tunic, which tends to get blood-splattered when he goes into combat (though not with his blood). His death is remarkably bloodless if we ignore the part where he got his face and mask torn off by a killer robot — he fell off the side of a building. | |

The X-Files: There's the episode where the ghosts make Scully and Mulder think they shot each other, only for the blood to disappear as soon as they leave the haunted mansion. Both wear white T-shirts. Mr. X, although, in an unusual variation, it's a white shirt with pinstripes. Scully is shot in "Tithonus" and bleeds on her white top. Ironically it's implied she avoids Death, possibly forever. Scully wears a snow-white blouse when a psycho writer and serial killer who's in love with her tries to rip her heart out with his bare hands. |

This happens to The Girl in White in The Path; one of the only splotches of blood in an otherwise bloodless game: After all six sisters have been taken by their respective wolves, The Girl in White goes to see Grandma... and returns with her dress stained with what probably isn't her blood. | |

The titular Elisabeth is dressed in a pristine white dress after she's stabbed to death by Lucheni, in her reunion with the Grim Reaper. It's also the same white nightgown she wears as a young woman for her "I Want" Song, "Ich gehör nur mir" (I Only Belong to Myself). | |

Titans (2018): The girl of the Nuclear Family pouts that she's got a few spots of blood on her white blouse after leaving a building where she's just helped torture (and likely kill) someone for information. When Dr. Light escapes from prison, there's a prominent shot of a glowing white ceiling light that's been splattered with blood in the otherwise dark prison corridor. |

In an extension, after each character dies in the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, they're outfitted with a red-streaked white shirt for the rest of the show (since they still need to be on-stage as the chorus or to play instruments or whatever, depending on staging). In one production, the dead characters put white makeup on and powdered their hair white/grey, and spent the rest of the show as ghosts. | |

Kaede Smith in Killer7 always wears a white dress with a big red blood splat on it. Especially fitting, given that the bloodstains match the bullet wounds that ended her previous life. Whenever you die in Killer7, you get a shot of your character's severed head on a completely white background exploding into a smear of blood. There's a lot of blood in Killer7. The blood smear when you die in Killer7 is shaped like a screaming skull. |

The Professionals: In 'Weekend in the Country' Doyle's white shirt is splattered with blood while he does basic first aid on the leader of the gang that is holding them hostage. In 'Discovered in a Graveyard' Doyle is wearing a white shirt and jacket when he is shot. Most of his flat (including the carpet he is found on) is in shades of white or grey. Invoked in "Look After Annie" when Annie Irvine insists she only have red and white roses displayed, to symbolise the blood she shed during a failed assassination attempt, where she was wearing a white dress (though the actual scene has Bloodless Carnage). |

Daredevil (2015): When Frank Castle is sent to prison, he's made to wear white Institutional Apparel. This comes in handy for this trope during a particularly bloody Hallway Fight when Castle has to take on an entire cellblock. When Wilson Fisk is released from the same prison, he starts wearing white three-piece suits, symbolizing his transformation into The Kingpin. In the climactic battle of the series finale, his white suit, the white wedding dress of the woman he just married, and the painting "Rabbit in a Snowstorm" which consists entirely of graduations of white, all get splattered with blood. |

In the unusually violent Tom Baker-era Doctor Who serial "The Deadly Assassin", the Doctor changes, for unclear in-universe reasons, from his usual layered multicoloured outfit into a much more minimalistic outfit consisting of slim trousers and a billowing, flimsy white poet shirt. The shirt spends the entire third part of the episode serving as a canvas for as much blood, filth, and Clothing Damage as they could get away with on a children's show (as it turns out, they couldn't get away with it - the producer lost his job over the level of violence in this story). | |

Ladd Russo from Baccano! finds himself subject to this trope. He doesn't die per se, but he gets his ear clipped off and his left arm completely skinned to the bone. Notably, Ladd invoked the trope, explaining that he and his friends all wear white because he thinks blood spatters look best on white clothing. Of course, at the time, he probably didn't think it would be his blood... And then there is the Rail Tracer, whose white conductor uniform gets completely coated in the blood of his victims. | |

In the Grand Finale of Blake's 7, we witness a scruffier and more cynical Blake who has apparently Took a Level in Jerkass. Yet he's wearing a white shirt under his vest, showing he's still on the side of the good guys. Unfortunately, this also foreshadows his Bloodier and Gorier death when Avon shoots Blake in the mistaken belief that he's turned traitor. As he had no intention of going back to the role the actor playing Blake wanted to make it perfectly clear that he had been Killed Off for Real, hence this trope. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A variation in "Seeing Red". When Tara gets shot her blood splatters onto the white shirt worn by Willow. For added effect, Tara doesn't even realize she was shot; her last words are a confused "Your shirt?" before she falls. And in "Bargaining Part 1", Willow wears a white dress when she kills a fawn for its Blood Magic. When Faith decides to turn Angel evil via a spell, she starts by throwing a jar of blood on his white singlet. In "This Year's Girl", Faith has a dream in which she helps Buffy make the bed, then notices blood dripping onto the white sheet. She looks down and realises Buffy has just shoved a knife into her gut. |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Subverted Trope when it involves vampires dressed in white. "...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self": Louis de Pointe du Lac ruins his swanky white suit when he murders Mr. Carlo for uttering offensive and racist "compliments"; this results in the latter's blood being smeared all over the front of his outfit. "The Thing Lay Still": In the climax, Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis and Claudia's elegant white costumes are splattered with the blood of their human victims at the after-party feast. |

The Kurama vs. Karasu fight in YuYu Hakusho is definitely an example of this. Karasu's bombs eventually make Kurama bleed so much the entire front of his outfit and some of the back is dyed red. | |

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter slices Draco Malfoy up like a Christmas ham and Draco nearly dies, but he gets better. His white shirt was covered in his blood. | |

The Punisher (2017): Agent Madani is wearing a white blouse when she's attacked by Billy Russo in the final episode. She wakes up covered in his blood from when she shot him and makes a point of showing the bloodstained blouse to Billy's girlfriend while gloating that he's bleeding to death and won't survive for long. | |
