History Manga / BloodyCross

* DruggedLipstick: A variation where Hinata uses his ''tongue'' to apply a spell that knocks Tsukimiya unconscious. You get no points for guessing [[BuxomIsBetter where]] he was [[LecherousLicking using his tongue]] at the time.
** [[spoiler:Later, Tsukimiya kisses ''him'' while inside the God Buriers' HQ. He collapses almost immediately]].

''Bloody Cross'' is a manga about a [[{{Dhampyr}} half angel half vampire]] named Tsukimiya who is seeking a way to free herself from her half-blood curse, which will kill her if it isn't removed. While searching for a way to remove the curse, she is caught up in a "Holy War" among "God Candidates" who are competing against one another to gather "God's Inheritences", artifacts that contain God's power and can turn the candidate who gathers them into the new God.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Tsukimiya. Momose as well in the first few chapters.

* BiTheWay: Nao mentions in chapter 15 that he's fine being with either men or women as long as he likes them.

** Tsukimya pulls this again when [[spoiler:Hinata declares his intention to preform a HeroicSacrifice when there's no other viable alternative]] in chapters 70 and 71 (it's a bit more emotional in this example).

* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: Between Tsukimiya and Nao in chapter 71, although it's also forced.]]

** Surprisingly, [[spoiler:Nao]] of all people, pull this one in chapter 42 in the form what's ultimately a [[spoiler:TakingYouWithMe gambit... too bad he fails]].

** Tsukimiya and Hinata have kissed each other a hell of a lot. They never have a kiss that was mutually agreed upon, unless you count their very first one... wherein Tsukimiya skipped the kiss and promptly bit Hinata to drain his blood. [[spoiler:This may have changed as of Chapter 50, if it was indeed a KissingDiscretionShot]].

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Hinata can never seem to decide whether he's Tsukimiya's enemy or ally, seeming to want to help her one minute (and even getting past her lie detecting powers) then betraying her (once even shooting her several times) the next. Tsukimiya once commented that she was never sure which side of him she'd encounter. It's later revealed that he's [[spoiler: a FakeDefector, and has always been on her side even when forced to fight her.]]

** Tsukimya pulls this again (sort of) when [[spoiler:Hinata declares his intention to preform a HeroicSacrifice when there's no other viable alternative]] in chapters 70 and 71 (it's a bit more emotional in this example).

** [[spoiler:This is also the fate of anyone who died during this crusade, considering not even their memory remains.]]

** Tsukimiya and Hinata have kissed each other a hell of a lot. They have yet to have a kiss that was mutually agreed upon, unless you count their very first one... wherein Tsukimiya skipped the kiss and promptly bit Hinata to drain his blood. [[spoiler:This may have changed as of Chapter 50, if it was indeed a KissingDiscretionShot]].

* TheMole: [[spoiler: Nao]] has been working for Satsuki all along, as have [[spoiler:Kanade and Rido.]] Actually, most of the major characters pull this at one time or another.

* PowerDyesYourHair: After using his [[spoiler:time manipulation]] powers, [[spoiler:Izumi]]'s hair goes from black to white. Whether this is a permanent change or not remains to be seen, though it's implied that it isn't; he's unsurprised by the result and mentions that it's because he hasn't used his powers in so long.

** Similarly, [[spoiler:Tsukimiya]] is the reincarnation of the previous Holy War's sacrifice, [[spoiler:Yuzuka]]. [[spoiler:She]], however, inherited neither the will, knowledge, memories or even powers of [[spoiler:her]] previous self, although like [[spoiler:her]], [[spoiler:she]] bears the Brand. [[spoiler:She]] doesn't even know about this reincarnation thing.

* DamselInDistress: Tsukimiya, nearly to OnceAnEpisode levels. Unfortunately, due to BadassDecay, she no longer qualifies for BadassInDistress.

* HaveYouSeenMyGod: God is apparently missing or no longer around and various people are competing to become his replacement.

* TheMole: [[spoiler: Nao]] has been working for Satsuki all along.

* PaperTalisman: Most of Hinata's spells use them.

* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: Izumi, the president of Arcana, has the ability to see into the future.

* OperaGloves: Momose wears them in the first few chapters.

[[spoler:She]] doesn't even know about this reincarnation thing.

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Hinata]] is the reincarnation of one of the previous Holy War's God Candidates, [[spoiler:the angel Subaru]]. [[spoiler:He]] inherited [[spoiler:his]] will, knowledge and memories, but almost none of [[spoiler:his]] powers.

* Foreshadowing: Notice how Hinata lacks vampiric traits despite being a Dhampyr ? [[spoiler: That's because he is a human with the soul of an angel.]]

* ThighHighBoots: Momose, in the first few chapters. Tsukimiya has also worn this kind of boot once or twice.
