Basic Trope: Characters have unrealistically much blood.
- Straight: Anne loses several liters of blood after being hit by a few Annoying Arrows, but shows no symptoms of blood loss.
- Exaggerated: Anne is still completely fine after bleeding enough to fill a 500-liter pool.
- Downplayed:
- Anne donates blood twice in one day and shows no symptoms of blood loss.
- Anne having her neck slashed is realistically fatal, but the pool of blood is much larger than it should be, and the wound still oozes blood despite the lack of blood pressure.
- Justified: Anne is an alien capable of surviving massive blood losses.
- Inverted:
- Anne dies of blood loss after a minor injury. She doesn't suffer from hemophilia — just losing a few milliliters of blood is enough to kill her.
- Bloodless Carnage
- Subverted:
- Anne bleeds a lot after being stabbed during a battle. She's only able to keep going thanks to a Heroic Second Wind, and she has a Post-Victory Collapse.
- Anne is covered in a red substance, but explains that it's just ketchup.
- While Alice is bleeding from her mouth, it looks worse than it is, as it's 80% saliva.
- Double Subverted:
- She recovers fast.
- She lied to avoid worrying (or squicking out) her allies. It really was blood.
- Parodied: Anne bleeds so much because she's literally overdrawn at the blood bank. She spends most of her time running away from an Evil Debt Collector.
- Zig Zagged: There seems to be no correlation between the symptoms of blood loss and the actual amount of blood lost.
- Averted: When Anne bleeds, she gets symptoms of blood loss like any normal human.
- Enforced: The show is meant to be Bloody Hilarious.
- Lampshaded: "Seriously, how much blood do you have?"
- Invoked: "We need to distract the vampires before they get in the room. Bob, show Anne your pecs, her Nosebleed will mask our scents."
- Exploited: Anne donates blood frequently — it's not like she needs it anyway.
- Defied: Before Anne can bleed much, she applies a bandage with quick clotting agents to staunch the flow.
- Discussed: "We gotta be careful, even a papercut means every shark in the pacific will know where we are."
- Conversed: "Anime characters have a ton of blood for some reason."
- Played For Laughs: Anne gets stabbed in the arm, which leaves her with a geyser of High-Pressure Blood for the rest of the episode. She treats this "flesh wound" as a minor annoyance.
- Played For Horror: The excessive bleeding is just one of the many physical impossibilities in an Eldritch Location.
