Blood
Blood (血, 血液) is a bodily fluid that flows through the body of an individual.
It is a fluid that is absolutely essential for the survival of most individuals (stuff like a virus has no need of blood), transporting many things such as oxygen and nutrients, and is circulated through blood vessels by the power of the heart.
Too little would make you die but as well as too much., so the balance of intake can be difficult to maintain.
The blood of vertebrates is red, while the blood of invertebrates is blue to green (although some are red).
The reason for this is related to the components in the red blood cells that carry oxygen or in the plasma (the red color comes from iron (hemoglobin, etc.) and the blue color from copper (hemocyanin)).
It can be said that the color of blood is the color of rusty iron and greenish blue (copper ion color to be exact).
Breast milk is produced by filtering blood through the mammary glands.

In illustrations, it is mainly used as a material for violent depictions, and can be seen on weapons or flowing out of a cut.
A little bleeding is not a problem, but too much will result in an R-18G.
Also, there are characters who use blood as a weapon, and depending on the media, they may coagulate it into a sword or spear to attack, or use it as a strong acidic weapon.
