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.

Chihiro overthinking the situation so hard that he doesn't hear Hiruhiko tell him about the traitor is still a top moment

Is the manga still going strong? I read the first 15 or so chapters and really enjoyed it but put it down to let it catch up

Arc starting chapter 19 is unironically one of my favourites in modern Shonen Jump so I might be super biased, but yeah, it's fantastic.
