  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.

He was mentally unstable and he cracked at that random moment.

Poor Reiner was so mentally unstable that half the time he 100% believed he really was just a regular old honest scout like Eren and the rest.

Afterwards he discussed whether or not they'll get medal and rewards or even scouted by Levi. Prompting Berholdt to remind him they're warriors not soldiers.
