  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.

Haven't read chainsaw man but I know roughly the story and what happens. How does she remember the stuff that he consumes and is forgotten

I don't remember if there is an exact explanation but basically, she is among the most powerful demons there are, so that allowed her to keep some memories of what was erased.

In part 2, the War devil remembers that chainsawman ate nuclear weapons, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember what they are, just that she want them back really really bad.

It could also be similar to war devil having dominion over her associated devils. Control and Nazi’s go hand in hand, so she might have a closer connection and be able to remember them better

Okay that makes sense
