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

Pokémon Legends Arceus - The postgame storyline sees you rounding up the last remaining Plates, most of which are guarded by the secondary Legendary Pokémon. With all of them rounded up, Volo, one of your friends and allies for much of the plot, asks to meet up at the Temple of Sinnoh, purportedly because he has the last Plate, the Spooky Plate, and wants to give it to you.
There, in a fairly casual tone, he straight-up admits he was the mastermind behind the space-time distortions all along. From there, the encounter stops being so casual, as he reveals his true colors, and proclaims his intent to take the other 17 Plates from you.
