Blade does talk about how he needs his serum which could come off as seeming like he is addicted, though it is to satiate his thirst.

No but there is a scene that could be triggering.
SPOILERS
The doctor tells Blade to drink her blood to save his life, when he does he goes farrel, gets aggresive and restrains her, she starts struggling and telling him to stop repeatedly and he doesn't listen.
She is ok afterwords but this scene was pretty upsetting.
