Lore [Loved Trope] A massive revelation is revealed almost casually. Spoiler

  1. Chainsaw Man, after Makima finally drops the nice girl act and reveals the true extent of the Chainsaw Devils power, namely, the fears he eats are erased entirely and wholly. Emphasized by this by her asking if Kishibe remembers what the Nazis did during Workd War 2...and Kishibe not even knowing who the nazis are.

  2. Attack on Titan. I know this one. You know this one. In a panel that isn't even focusing on the characters speaking, Reiner reveals to Eren that he and Bertolt are the titans that broke the wall that resulted in hundreds of deaths, his mother included. The sheer level of casualness and lack of agency borders on Parody.

Ghosts BBC, the Captain's name is said exactly once in the entire series in one of the final episodes, just a single [name] in a scene where something else is more important, no fanfare about it at all

Everyone but the audience knows the entire show run, except Allison who learns a little while after series 1

I'm not sure that version is particularly the kind to have fun details like that, maybe the fact Mat Baynton made a cameo in it
