Go To

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.
