History Anime / BloodPlus

* BigAppleSauce: The final ten or so episodes, as well as Saya and Diva's final showdown, are set in New York City.

* BigAppleSauce: Saya and Diva's final showdown occurs in New York City.

!!''BloodPlus'' has examples of:
* AMillionIsAStatistic: People didn't start to lose sympathy for Diva, despite the hundreds of people she killed, [[spoiler: until ''after'' she raped and killed Riku.]]

* ArtificialLimbs: Karl got a mechanical replacement for his injured right arm after the Vietnam war. Later on he and [[spoiler: James]] would get Schiff limbs attached to replace limbs they had amputated.

''BloodPlus'' is a 50 episode long anime which is loosely based on the OAV ''Anime/BloodTheLastVampire''; the film and the series share the basic premise, the characters of Saya, David and Lewis (all of whom are re-imagined in ''BloodPlus''), and the Chiropterans, but otherwise have little in common. With a beautiful soundtrack, a dark and smoothly flowing storyline, and empathetic characters, ''BloodPlus'' is a memorable and wonderful series.

* BabiesEverAfter: Julia in the finale

* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Oh, Hagi. He seems to get a bloody impalement once every battle.

* PowerDegeneration: The Thorn for the Schiff, which slowly crystallizes their bodies. Saya goes through this when she [[spoiler: approaches her hibernation cycle]]

* BringMyRedJacket: Saya's red dress after the TimeSkip.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: Karl, and Saya.]]

* EvilTwin: Diva

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Saya]] is responsible for unleashing Diva on the world.

* TimeSkip: After the destruction of [[spoiler: Red Shield's headquarters]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Hagi and Solomon

* SecurityCling: [[spoiler: Moses and Carmen when they choose to burn up in the sun instead of succumbing to Thorn]]

* HoldMe: [[spoiler: Moses and Carmen when they choose to burn up in the sun instead of succumbing to Thorn]]

* RedRightHand: Subverted; Hagi's right hand does give away his true nature as a Chevalier, and freaks Saya out when she first sees it, but he is still a heroic character.

* ReluctantWarrior: Saya in the first half of the show, ''big time''.

* ShutUpHannibal: Saya and Hagi's response to Amshel trying to give her a HannibalLecture and TomatoSurprise. They [[CurbStompBattle weren't successful]].

* BuryYourGays: Subverted in that [[spoiler:Nathan survives 'til the very end, outliving his boss, associates, underlings and several main characters. After Saya ''cuts him in half.'']] No explanation given as to how.
** Nathan makes a passing statement that implies [[spoiler:that he is not actually Diva's chevalier, but actually the chevalier of Saya and Diva's ''mother'']]. Saya's blood might not have ever been a threat to him. If this is true, [[spoiler:Nathan would be completely impossible to kill, unless Saya and Diva's aunt (who must have existed since Chiropteran queens are always twins) is still out there somewhere]].
** He's killed in the manga [[spoiler:after he murders Diva due to pent up rage from Diva's indifference over James' death]].

* MegaCorp: Though Cinq Flèches is largely described as a pharmaceutical enterprise, it has enough resources to be active in other industries, such as technology, food production, military contracting, and, of course, Chiropteran-based genetic manipulation.

* GoOutWithASmile: Diva's dying act is to smile at and reach for her newborn daughters.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Saya's eyes are a dull shade of red, but turn bright, glowing red when she uses her vampiric abilities. Diva, the main antagonist, has blue eyes which also glow brightly when she's serious

* BloodyWarrior: Saya, as well as various other instances and characters

** Also, Hagi. Through a flashback, [[spoiler: it is shown that the reason he went from being somewhat stoic to made of stone was because his blood turned his One True Love and reason for living into a murdering psychopath who forgot who he was and cut his arm off during her rampage.]]

* CryForTheDevil: Diva. As Nathan puts it when she dies: "Poor girl...she just wanted to have a family..." Also Karl, possibly.

* HealFactor: Saya's wounds are known to heal exceedingly fast, along with Hagi- though their rapid healing rate is only based on the amount of blood they consume. i.e. Saya's wounds will heal more rapidly after drinking human or Hagi's blood, and Hagi's wounds will heal after drinking human blood.

* HeroicBSOD: Saya and David, after Diva's mid-series MoralEventHorizon moment

* GoGoEnslavement: After losing consciousness because of a fight, Saya is abducted by
[[StalkerWithACrush Solomon]] and stripped of her clothes in her sleep. He claims it was because they were ruined. However, he gives her a nice gown after she does wake up.

** Also DarkerandEdgier in the sense that it is more perverted (inappropriate panty shots abound) and there is plenty of nasty gore.

* LuckilyMyPowersWillProtectMe: [[TemptingFate James taunts Saya about how her blood can't poison him if she can't pierce his armored skin.]]

** Also [[Darker and Edgier]] in the sense that it is more perverted (inappropriate panty shots abound) and there is plenty of nasty gore.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: There're some mistakes in the part where the gang goes to Vietnam and infiltrate the all-female school. First, the students and teachers are mostly foreigners around the Eastern Asia region so this is obvisously an international school. But why would an international school's uniform be ''Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress''?
** Min and Mui are hardly popular names over there. They could be referring to Minh or My for all we know.
