Almost all the deaths in Basilisk: Kouga Ninpu Chuu.Ladd is even seen dancing about in a puddle of blood. Claire/Vino/Rail Tracer spills vast amounts of blood, drenching himself.In Baccano! Ladd slits a mook's throat to send his blood splashing out like a spray can.The anime uses this for the purpose of drama, with blood splattering dramatically out around his teeth whenever Eren bites his hand.He gets a hand over the wound, but blood still sprays out from beneath his palm. When Bertolt Hoover suffers a Slashed Throat, blood sprays out as would be expected from a major artery.Attack on Titan manages to avoid this for the most part, except in completely justified instances.

Done to a ridiculous extent in Angel Cop, where every time someone is shot it is as if someone just blew up an extra-large can of pasta sauce.The unexpected force almost knocked over the actor, and it was all he could do to finish the scene, but they ended up using the take anyway - partly because it looked impressive, and partly because it was kind of difficult to have a second take after that much blood had gone all over the set and costumes. According to the crew, the pump that was meant to make the losing samurai bleed profusely blew a coupling when activated, causing the blood to pump out at full pressure rather than the intended rate. However, the first modern example, from the Akira Kurosawa film Sanjuro, appears to have been an accident. This may stem from traditional Kabuki theater, where the "blood" was really a long red silk scarf thrown in a great big arc.

The trope is strong in anime and samurai movies. As a result, almost any damage by a cutting or piercing weapon will result in explosive jets of gore squirting out like a firehose. When this trope is in play, for 'pints', read ' gallons.' Or more: all living things can contain several dozen gallons of blood, stored under incredible pressures. One gallon is equal to eight pints / 4.55 liters. In real life, the average adult has ten pints / five liters of blood.
