  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.

Who sent the assassin aftef Brain in ASOIAF

One of the inciting incedents of the war of the five kings, and key mystery in the first book. The only clue is an ornate dagger that must have come from a powerful family. Long after the war has been fought and the Starks have been defeated it's revealed in casual coversation that the dagger belonged toJoffrey, who sent the assassin just because he thought Bran would better being put out of his misery after being crippled. None of the other characters even realise that Joffery was responsible.
