Blood Rage

The **Blood Rage** is a rare phenomenon/curse that usually affects all creaturekind. It causes the to undergo an excessive amount of berserkness and bloodlusting. This phenomenon/curse is commonly found in Sanguinius's legion, the Red Angels.

## Depiction

It is similar to a Guardian being transformed into a witch if enough negativity is experienced, but instead of turning the Guardian into a witch, the affected victim will succumb to the curse, making them be reborn into a world of constant anger, berserkness, bloodlust, hatred, fury and nothing else. The affected victims also get a boost of strength and vitality to superhuman levels in the case for the normal magic users or absolute invicibility in the case for Guardians.

The victims can be overcome with the Black Rage if they appear to be half-mad with fury, unable to distinguish the past from the present and does not recognise anything around them. However, by some unknown means, the Blood Rage also seems capable of extending the victims' lifespan, at least until they finally succumb to the Rage permanently (whether it happens or not).

In some rare cases, if an excessive amount of negativity is experienced, the victim will succumb to the curse permanently. This has led GDI to dispatch its special forces to contain them, preventing them from causing chaos. However, it is ***HIGHLY*** advised when dealing with the affected person since they're extremely dangerous to deal with.

## Origin

The curse's origin is unknown, but some believe that it came from Sanguinius's death after he tried and failed to stop his father from entering the Golden Kingdom to kill Arcadia during Arcturus's Heresy.

## Ways to cure the curse

* Koyori's Blue Aura, an antidote that can cure one who succumbed to the curse. It is first used in *Dawn's Early Night!*, but it was tested prior to *Frozen on Their Tracks!*.
* Being healed by an Ancestral Deity. This was best shown in GoH:TMC.
* Somecreature who has a healing spell. This was best shown when Mami heals Kyoko after she is de-courrpted.

## List of known affected hosts

* Arcturus Porter I
* Jim Porter (healed by Arceus in GoH:TMC)
* Some GDI soldiers (presumably contained)
* A few of Arcturus's Legion battle-brothers (presumably disposed of)
* Team Galactic grunts
* Glorysia Melody (cursed by Jupiter in *Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!*; later healed by Koyori)
* Kyoko Sakura (revealed in *The Needs of Hope*; healed by Mami in *The Finale Battle of Legend!*)
* Aurea Juniper (revealed in *What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!*, later healed by Mami after Nanette was saved)
* Elis Daisy (healed in *What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!* by Mami after Nanette was saved)

## Trivia

* When one succumbs to the Blood Rage, they will have a red aura over them, and their eyes will be red with dragon-like pupils.
* Nanette is the only one to not succumb to negativity. Instead, Thunders being stolen by Team Rocket is what triggered her Blood Rage.
* Most of the Team Galactic has their items that contains the Blood Rage inside.
* After GoH:TMC, the Blood Rage is not seen again, and doesn't make a comeback in the Law of Cycles recton.
* Whenever female Guardians transform while under the effects of the curse, the outfit will gain some of Princess Sailor Moon's details, much like this piece of *Sailor Moon* fanart. It is unknown if this is a side-effect, however.
