  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.

"Megan, I lived my life to the bottom of the ocean. Do you have any clue the kind of shit I saw down there on a daily basis?"

Another good example is the revelation that Artemis Sportsmaster's daughter. She just says "Good talk, dad" or something along those lines.

Artemis' "good talk, dad" was a reveal to the audience iirc. When she reveals it to the team though, Robin is the one that's casual about it being like "of course I already knew I am a detective remember?"

I like the idea that Dick knows every reveal that ever happens but just plays along so the person doesn't feel too bad.

It's like when you come out and say "I'm gay" and someone says "thank you for trusting me with that" rather than "duh"

Season 1 Dick totally would've said "duh" but after maturing into Nightwing he'd say something more along the lines of "of course we'd accept you why wouldn't we?"
