1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character who receives horrible injuries wears red. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Alice is wearing red in battle and gets stabbed by her opponent. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Anyone wearing any red during battle gets brutally sliced up by the enemy. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice gets a punch in the nose and a consequent nosebleed in a fight while wearing a red jacket. |
5 | * '''Justified''': The bright red made Alice stand out more among her comrades, and so the enemy decided to target her. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** Alice, wearing her red jacket, is the only one to escape the battle uninjured. |
8 | ** Alternatively, when a wound opens back up, Alice [[FanDisservice takes off her red shirt, treating everyone to a nice view of the gaping hole in her chest.]] |
9 | ** Alice [[WhiteShirtOfDeath dresses in white]], and her injuries are ''very'' visible as a result. |
10 | * '''Subverted''': |
11 | ** Alice, battling while wearing all red, looks to be wounded...but it turns out not to be her blood on her clothing, but her opponent's instead. |
12 | ** Alternatively, Alice goes to the battle and seemingly survives without a scratch, but it's revealed that she has, indeed, gotten severely wounded [[DeadAllAlong or maybe even killed]] while wearing the red jacket. |
13 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...Until later in the battle, when her opponent really does severely wound her. |
14 | * '''Parodied''': |
15 | ** Anyone who will wear red will get injured during the very same minute when they dress themselves up or will have accidents happen during the whole day. |
16 | ** Alice, wearing a red jacket, manages to avoid injury by taking the jacket off and throwing it at a nearby parking meter. The jacket and parking meter are mangled beyond recognition, but Alice is unharmed. |
17 | ** Alice is also wearing brown pants in case she [[PottyFailure craps them]] [[BringMyBrownPants out of fear.]] |
18 | ** Alice is wearing a red jacket, is wounded, bleeds all over it, discards it, gets a green jacket, is wounded again, and bleeds ''green'' this time. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Alice, wearing her red jacket, seems to alternate between appearing to be fine and terribly wounded, until nobody can tell how she's really doing. |
20 | * '''Averted''': Nobody wearing any particular color is more likely to be injured in the battle. |
21 | * '''Enforced''': "We want people to see her get injured, but she's surrounded by a swarm of ordinary soldiers in all these scenes - let's make her wear red, so it sticks out." |
22 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, look, the blood matches my shirt!" |
23 | * '''Invoked''': Knowing she'll probably be wounded in battle, Alice wears red so that the blood won't stand out too much, so that her comrades won't start worrying. |
24 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
25 | * '''Defied''': "NO! Alice! Don't wear red to battle! Those people always end up hurt!" |
26 | * '''Discussed''': "Why do the ones wearing red always end up the hurt ones? Shouldn't we just stop wearing red altogether, then?" |
27 | * '''Conversed''': Alice walks around wearing red and has a conversation with Bob on how, in various media, the color would mean bad news for her. |
28 | * '''Deconstructed''': Alice ends up dying because the medics didn't notice that she was bleeding out and appeared to only be unconscious. |
29 | * '''Reconstructed''': However, her death ends up causing the medics to use the [[TooAwesomeToUse powerful healing artifact meant for her]] on her badly wounded daughter instead, which is what she would have wanted anyway. |
