A character says something that connects to a fact or event of which they're unaware, usually to someone who is in the know. A common variation of this is You Look Like You've Seen a Ghost. Often shows up in supernatural settings with a Masquerade, but mundane versions can occur, such as the Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy telling Sweet Polly Oliver she "fights like a girl". Sometimes subverted in that the seemingly Genre Blind character turns out to be hinting that they do know the truth. If neither the characters nor the audience know about the secret, but find out later, it's Foreshadowing. This is sometimes expressed as "You have no idea..." or something along those lines. Contrast Literal Metaphor, in which Character A means what he says literally, but Character B takes it as a figure of speech; and the twin tropes It Will Never Catch On and This Is Going to Be Huge, where a character in a show set in the past makes often wildly inaccurate predictions about the future for comedic effect. Compare Accidental Truth, where someone makes up a lie for whatever reason that ends up becoming a reality, and Joke and Receive, where the character's joke matches reality. Subtrope of Dramatic Irony. |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Kyousuke, who doesn't know about magical girls, says it would take magic or some kind of miracle to heal his paralysed hand. Which, thanks to Sayaka, is exactly what happens. | |

Advice and Trust: In chapter 7, Asuka abruptly leaves the dining table to lie down in her bedroom, due to being severely traumatized from the aftermath of the battle against Bardiel (she and her boyfriend Shinji were fired as pilots for disobeying orders, and on top of that, she'd just learned her fellow pilot and best friend Hikari had been absorbed into Unit-03's core). Shinji watches her leave long enough for Misato to notice: | |

Disney Animated Canon: Hans's speech to a dying Anna in Frozen about how nobody ever loved her has them both assume that Elsa never really loved her sister at all which given what she did to her sister before, certainly has a bit of credibility even if we know that isn't the case for her. Of course even ignoring that, there is still Kristoff and Olaf, both whom definitely shown to care for her particularly when the latter saved her and helped relift Anna's spirits up after realizing that her sister and former lover may not love her but there are still others who do such as the snowman and Kristoff himself. The song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" in Mulan has the line, "Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?" The commander thinks he's turning boys into men, but of course, with Mulan the starting point is a bit different! Though ironically, she becomes much a more capable soldier than her comrades in arms. |

Comes up a lot in Slings & Arrows. One scene is in Season 3, when Geoffrey's therapist places an empty chair before him and tells him to envision Oliver sitting there and to talk to him. When Geoffrey opens his eyes, Oliver's ghost IS there (audible and visible only to Geoffrey) and they proceed to have a screaming argument, while the therapist marvels at Geoffrey's ability to engage in the therapeutic exercise. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: During a Talking in Your Dreams session with Onni, Reynir is trying very hard to not give him a piece of bad news because he knows Onni's younger sister Tuuri wants to tell him herself over the radio once he awakes from his Deep Sleep. Hiding it becomes a little hard when the first thing Onni asks Reynir is how his family members on the crew are doing, and Hesitation Equals Dishonesty kicks in when Reynir tries to claim that the whole crew is fine. Reynir pulls an Infraction Distraction, for which Onni falls, by pretending to have been covering up the wound incurred by Sigrun, another member of the crew who is not related to Onni. This prompts Onni to hope that that wound is not keeping Sigrun from protecting the weaker crew members. Exactly this happening was a factor in the piece of bad news that Reynir is hiding from Onni. | |

DC Animated Universe: In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Almost Got 'Im", several of Batman's enemies are playing poker and chatting about their foe. Penguin speculates that Batman experienced "some crime-related trauma when he was younger". In Batman Beyond "The Call: Part 2", Superman offers Terry a place in the Justice League, citing that the latter's predecessor "wasn't what you'd call a joiner." When Terry says he may have more in common with Bruce than he thought and leaves, Superman knowingly says out of his hearing range, "More than you think, son," implying that Superman is well aware of Terry's blood relation to Bruce as discovered in Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue". |

Batman: Black and White: In "Bent Twigs", an abusive father attempts to justify his actions to Batman by claiming that his son is disruptive and he doesn't know what to do. Batman calmly points out that family counselling is a thing. The father scoffs, "And who's going to pay for it — you? What are you, Bruce Wayne or something?" Batman is, in fact, famous millionaire Bruce Wayne (though he doesn't reveal that fact to this man). | |

In an early arc of Girl Genius, Agatha's personal locket is stolen by a pair of thieves on the day Baron Wulfenbach comes to visit the university she works at. She doesn't know that it has a device implanted in it that kills one of the two thieves, and the other is caught by Wulfenbach trying to get to their workshop in the chaos that breaks out. Assuming, due to an Entertainingly Wrong analysis of the scene, that Agatha is the thief's lover, Wulfenbach has them both taken up to his dirigible together and put in one room. Strangely enough, neither of them are happy to see the other, but the man is particularly aggressive and treats Agatha with blatant and open mistrust and suspicion. | |

Commander Lastagee's orders in fact don't exist: Eleya realizes later that he's a shapeshifted Undine, trying to erase evidence of events he thinks might harm his race's interests. | |

The employer, who is old enough to have once dated Hugo's mother-in-law without there being a significant age gap, tells Hugo he's still to young to truly understand. Among other things, Hugo is hiding from his employer that his wife died very recently and that his sister-in-law is standing in for her while both of them are at work. | |

The Owl House: During the haunted hayride in "Thanks to Them", Masha tells the kids the story of the Wittebane brothers, a pair of orphans who came to Gravesfield in the early 17th century. As they tell it, Caleb Wittebane was lured into a realm of evil by a witch named Evelyn, and his younger brother Philip went after him to save him, with neither ever being seen again. At the end of the story, they dramatically theorize that Philip may still be chasing his brother in an endless cycle of horror and strife, before following it up with their own theory that "big bro got a hot witch girlfriend and little bro got upset." They are right on the money on both accounts. Caleb entered a romantic relationship with Evelyn, and settled down to live with her in the Demon Realm. Philip became so enraged at this perceived betrayal that he stabbed Caleb to death, then proceeded to create and then murder dozens of Expendable Clones of Caleb in his attempts to make a "better version" that wouldn't betray him, with Hunter being the latest iteration. | |

SPY×FAMILY: The Forger family is asked about Anya's strengths and weaknesses during the Eden Academy interview. Her father's answer is funny, because Anya can break the Mutual Masquerade within her new family at any given time (but deliberately chooses not to): When the Eden Academy bus is hijacked, the hijackers put an bomb collar on Anya to scare the kids into compliance. Due to her mind-reading ability, she knows that the collar is a fake, and as a result acts downright flippant about it. The other kids are shocked by her ability to seemingly stay calm while strapped to a bomb, and Damian wonders if she has nerves of steel because she was raised by an assassin. Anya's stepmother is, in fact, a Professional Killer, and she has tried to train Anya (primarily in self-defense and for Dodgeball). |

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Such a case is retroactively revealed. Little after meeting Sylvester, an annoying Manchild with whom she's about to spend some time traveling, the protagonist tells her temporary bodyguard Damuel that she wants to stay away from Sylvester as much as possible. Damuel answers she has no idea how much he agrees with her. It later turns out that Sylvester is the most powerful noble of the duchy incognito and Damuel recognized him from seeing him in the past. The setting is also one in which people can get in trouble for displeasing people of significantly higher status than themselves and Damuel is as low in status as one can get while still being both and adult an a noble. The protagonist gets adopted into nobility in circumstances that make her commoner birth a well-kept secret (a Sent Into Hiding story is told to anyone else who asks), causing such moments on occasion: She transfers two pairs of orphaned siblings to an orphanage she runs, saving them from being separated by their previous caretaker, who was about to sell only one half of each pair, in the process. One of the boys is furious when he finds out that the dormitories in their new home are sex-segregated, resulting in him spending less time with his sister. In the midst of his rant, he assumes the protagonist doesn't know what it's like to be separated from one's family, which was one of the conditions for her adoption, but a fair assumption going by her publicly-known situation. This gets the boy slapped by someone who is the protagonist's Secret-Keeper on a high enough level to know that in fact, she does and she has to deal with it to a degree much bigger than the boy has to. One of the protagonist's attendants discusses with her how much she'd qualify for her adoptive father's seat if she wanted it and points out that the protagonist has the right bloodline via the nobleman pretending to be her biological father. The protagonist can't resist an internal quip regarding her actual bloodline. |

Teen Titans (2003): In the episode "Homecoming, Part 1", the Titans meet the Doom Patrol. The Doom Patrol expresses skepticism about the competency of the Titans to combat the Brotherhood of Evil, saying something along the lines of "We've been fighting this great evil our whole lives. What have you done?" One of the Titans—having just come from defeating a trans-dimensional demon who destroyed the world by showing up — responds, "You have no idea." | |

At the end of Ghost Trick, Lynne grabs Sissel the cat and says "I bet you're just like me. Your destiny led you here somehow too". In this timeline, she doesn't know the whole lot of things Sissel did for her, and that she only exists like that because of his efforts. She thinks he's just the stray kitten from ten years ago, while he and Jowd remember everything. | |

The song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" in Mulan has the line, "Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?" The commander thinks he's turning boys into men, but of course, with Mulan the starting point is a bit different!

A Song of Ice and Fire: A prostitute tries to seduce Gendry by claiming that she is King Robert's bastard daughter and points to her sharing Robert's trademark raven black hair as evidence. Arya makes fun of her claims by pointing that Gendry himself has the same hair, so that does not mean much. What none of them knows is that Gendry is actually King Robert's bastard, and that owing to Robert's compulsive womanizing the prostitute is most likely right. Fortunately, Gendry is not in the mood. | |

Noob: La Quête Légendaire: The webseries that preceded the movie established Abraham was a Nun Too Holy priest, but the info came from his Manchild son Sparadrap, while the story is set in a country in which priests are supposed to stay celibate. Abraham makes his debut in the movie and reveals to the audience that there is more to him than Sparadrap knows while chatting with his younger but more aware son, and the secret is something that was so far hidden for a very, very good in-universe reason. During this occasion, Abraham spends time with Sparadrap and his friends, and keeps the "just a priest who happens to have children, nothing else to see" act for the sake of keeping the secret. Abraham eventually leaves and one of Sparadrap's female friends, who apparently didn't fully believe Abraham was a priest until meeting him, comments on how she's creeped out by the idea of Abraham being a priest. Sparadrap's brother happens to be present when she makes the remark and can't help letting the words "If only you knew." escape his mouth. | |

In Mauling Snarks, a Worm fanfic, after Taylor gets new superpowers, a copy of Panacea's abilities, Director Piggot and Miss Militia warn her that if this information gets out, she will become a target for every villain around, and even Slaughterhouse Nine might get interested and go after her. Taylor, Amy, and their parents immediately start cracking up at that idea, because they know that the Nine are secretly good guys and their leader is Taylor's uncle, so she's in no danger whatsoever from them. | |

The Angry Video Game Nerd: In the Colecovision episode, he jokes that he wonders if The Addams Family had a Coleco Adam computer. The Addams family were actually the first TV family to own a computer, albeit one of the old fashioned UNIVAC types. In one of his early reviews, he makes reference to a supposedly made up game called Taxman.NoteWhat he means is Wall Street Kid for NES. Later on, he learns that it's a real game that's a Pac-Man clone. In his review of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, he points out the famous "I am Error" oddity, and jokes that it's probably just the character's name. In fact, he's right; the character really is named Error. |

From everyone else's perspective, it appears the queen vanished overnight. If you do this to Queen Camilla, councilwoman Prospera will ask if you threw her off the airship, then take it back while admitting, "that sounds about as likely as you feeding her to a demon." | |

Though Josh doesn't know it, Arthur Langworthy appears to be moving supplies and/or creatures for the cult in shipping containers, so this is quite a pertinent comment. | |

In Chernobyl, a couple of scientists at the Institute for Nuclear Energy in Minsk detect radiation in the air. Ulana Khomyuk determines that it's from nuclear fuel, and she and her assistant begin speculating where it could have come from. The nearest station responds that it isn't them, but Khomyuk says that it can't be Chernobyl because "they'd have to be split open" to be giving off that much radiation. And then they both realize that nobody there is answering the phone.... | |

Used frequently in Forever. In "Dead Men Tell Long Tales" Lucas has been making terrible pirate jokes because the case involves treasure hunters recovering goods from a sunken ship. A skeleton is found, and when Henry and Lucas examine it, there's evidence the man was shot. Lucas jokes in a Hollywood pirate voice that there won't be any "''aye''-witnesses" to the crime. What he doesn't know is that Henry was on that very ship, spoke to the man in question, and was killed for the first time there, possibly with the same gun! (But, as Henry was killed and his body tossed overboard before the man's death, he is indeed not an eye-witness.) | |

Doki Doki Literature Girls: After being asked by Monika what H. P. Lovecraft's novels are about, Yuri explains that he pioneered a genre of horror called "cosmicism" which that deals with the fear that our existence is meaningless in the grand scheme of things and that we're just a creation of a greater, unfeeling God who doesn't care about us. She then asks Monika whether she would become a nihilistic psychopath if she realized that everything she ever felt was insignificant and that our world held little value. Unbeknownst to Yuri, her description of cosmicism is actually a perfect reflection of Monika's situation as someone who's aware of her own status as a fictional character, unhappy about it, and gets driven to commit cruel acts against the other characters because of it. | |
