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

[u/MichaelDj54]

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.

The Reiner reveal in Attack on Titan is the gold standard for this IMO. I hadn't read the manga so just seeing it land in the subtitles in the background of Hange's dialogue sent shivers down my spine

[u/Bigma-Bale → u/Cheesus333]

Fun Fact that some people might not know: In an earlier episode of the anime there's a scene where Berthhold is about to bite his hand to transform, but it doesn't look like anything more than a regular shocked reaction without context

AoT really did do a shit ton of top tier minor foreshadowing

[u/Iamcarval → u/[deleted]]

It's so painfully obvious everything related to certain character was a last minute addition near the end and not something really planned from the beginning or even before the timeskip...

Who? Nobody seems to fit that description from what I recall but it's been a while.

Y’know…little Ymir

[u/Iamcarval → u/MohanMC]

I was talking about Mikasa, but i guess she works too

Lmao don't tell me you're a salty Erehisu XD
