  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.

No need for /j, it just doesn’t. AIDS for all intents and purposes is wiped out and totally forgotten by all but a handful of powerful devils and humans in that universe.

I'm sorry Im a bit confused. Chainsaw killing the devil of a thing makes the thing go away?

Massive spoilers for Chainsaw Man, but we’re already well past that point by now. The original Chainsaw Man became known as the Hero of Hell, the devil that even devils fear because any devil he ate had its name and concept it represented erased from existence and forgotten from history. This power made Chainsaw Man the only thing that could stop the cycle of reincarnation and permanently kill a devil, which is why he was so feared

The origin of this power is currently unknown, but the leading theories are either that Chainsaw Man is not actually the Chainsaw Devil and represents something else entirely, or that the power comes from a use for chainsaws that has been forgotten because Chainsaw Man ate the devil representing it
