Are All Series in the Blood Franchise Related?

All Series in the Blood franchises take place in the same universe, but at different times.

The 1996 film Blood: The Last Vampire was made. The alternate versions of Blood+ and Blood C can be found in the movie. Each part has a different story and is completely independent.

A common thread connecting all parts is the fact that they share the main character, Saya.

Their personalities differ, but they have the same hair color (black), and similar hairstyles.

Other characters appear in the Series in similar roles. The stories are all very different, and each one has its unique elements.
