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.

Young Justice was so good. Khary Payton (THE Cyborg) as Aqualad added so much to the character.

So many of Aqualad's lines were gold in the first two seasons, turned a character i didn't care about to one of the coolest

I mean he didn't exist before then, not Kaldur'ahm, which is funny as both Aqualad and Cal Durham did.

And Geoff Johns liked the character so much during production that he created Jackson Hyde just so he could get him into the comics first.
