The Reveal occurs when the writers reveal a secret to the audience. Sometimes, however, the audience already knows, but one or more characters in the story don't know. Maybe it is the fact that one of the story's main characters is in love with another character. Or perhaps we already know who the serial killer is, or that two characters are having an affair. An Internal Reveal is a form of Dramatic Irony that is almost exclusively used to create tension and concerns a major plot element, with the story making it clear to the audience that the ramifications will be huge when the relevant characters finally find out. This can be limited to a single character or small group, or their secret can be revealed to the entire world. This can happen retroactively with particularly famous plot twists: thanks to Popcultural Osmosis, the audience already knows about what was once a regular reveal, but the characters still don't. May involve a Secret Identity or The Masquerade. See also Reverse Whodunnit, when applied to detective stories. See also Cassandra Truth, for when a secret is revealed but isn't believed. Contrast Tomato Surprise, when something is a revelation only to the audience, but not to the characters in-universe. This is often mistaken for a Captain Obvious Reveal, due to audiences not realising they have access to information the characters don't have. |

Trading Places: While hiding in the Duke & Duke washroom, Billy Ray Valentine overhears the Dukes discussing both their bet manipulating Valentine and Louis Winthorpe's lives, as well as their plans to corner the frozen concentrate orange juice market. In-universe, this scene is the first time that anybody beyond the Dukes learns about these things: before the bet, Louis went through the payroll and saw a check for Clarence Beeks, which they explained as "research", while after the bet, Billy Ray found another check which Mortimer promptly quashed the inquiry about. | |

In the PS3 version of Ni no Kuni, cutscenes make it obvious from the start that the White Witch is the real Big Bad of the story and Shadar is just The Dragon, and the game is even subtitled "Wrath of the White Witch". To the characters though, Shadar is the only apparent threat, and they don't even become aware of the White Witch's existence until after he is defeated. This is a consequence of the Updated Re-release, as in the original DS version Shadar really was the sole Big Bad. | |

Halfway through Vertigo, the audience learns that Judy, who initially only seems to be a woman with an uncanny resemblance to Scottie's dead love Madeleine, actually is Madeleine. More accurately, the "Madeleine" Scottie met was only Judy impersonating as her. The audience's knowledge of Judy's secret makes her eventual giving in to Scottie's demands to make her into his lost love's image even more ironic. Hitchcock explained his motivation for this reveal in his interviews with François Truffaut; once the audience knows the truth, their sympathies are divided between the Main Characters. | |

Fatherland is set in a world where the Nazis won World War II, and the protagonist is an SS officer investigating a Government Conspiracy. It quickly becomes obvious to the reader that the conspiracy is to cover up the remaining evidence of the Holocaust from the German public (the outside world suspects the truth, but it is denounced by the Reich as propaganda). However, even with foreknowledge of the "twist", the protagonist's horror at the discovery of what his country and professional position represent is still affecting. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In its second season, Alya and Nino are drafted to aid the heroes on two separate occasions as Rena Rouge and Carapace. In "Catalyst", Ladybug recruits them together, leading them to learn each other's secret identities (though it's implied Alya already knew Nino was Carapace. Definitely counts for Nino, though.) In the fourth season, the stress of being Ladybug and the new guardian of the Miraculous, and having to keep it secret from everyone she cares about, gets to Marinette so much that she gives up and fills Alya in on the truth. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): While the reveal that Karai is actually Splinter's long-lost-and-presumed-dead daughter Miwa came off as something of a Captain Obvious Reveal to many of the viewers, Splinter and the turtles themselves weren't privy to all of the Foreshadowing leading up to it, making this a culmination to a whole string of these in-universe revelations (e.g. Karai introducing herself to Leonardo and then the other turtles, then revealing she's with Shredder's Foot Clan, then revealing she considers Shredder her father, and then Shredder revealing to Splinter he adopted her and raised her as his own out of spite, then Splinter revealing this to the turtles, and their finally revealing this to her and convincing her Splinter is truly her biological father.) | |

My Adventures with Superman "Let's Go to Ivo Tower, You Say": Lois connects the dots that Clark is Superman after finding an article in the pocket of his jacket. "You Will Believe a Man Can Lie" Clark discovers the existence of Task Force X and how they had been apprehending the tech-criminals that Superman had presumably been leaving in the care of the police. Though the episode's plotline stems from her first catching on in the previous episode, this episode does no fake-outs and definitively confirms to Lois that Clark is Superman. "Kiss Kiss Fall in Portal": Mxyzptlk casually mentions that Clark is from Krypton, which is something that he didn't know so far. Fans of any version of Superman would also be familiar with kryptonite, but this is the first time this Superman has experienced it. Lois ends up with a piece as well at the end. "Zero Day, Part 2": Jimmy discovers the sphere with the Kryptonite in Lois' purse which shows several versions of an evil Superman. "Hearts of the Fathers" While the previous episode confirmed to the audience that the General was Lois's father Sam, this episode has Clark, Lois, and Jimmy find out for themselves. Clark finally finds out about File X and the evil Supermen it depicts... which is immediately upstaged by him, Lois, and Jimmy realizing exactly what the shard of Kryptonite stored inside it can do to Clark. |

Harry Potter: The readers learn in the opening pages that magic is real and that Harry Potter survived something terrible and so will be incredibly famous in the wizarding world. Harry himself does not learn any of this until Hagrid provides him with an Infodump that his guardians had been trying to hide from him for 11 years. It is not until the end of Book 5 that the wizarding world in general learns and comes to accept what the audience witnessed happening at the end of Book 4, that Voldemort has returned to full power. Harry accidentally finds out in the fourth book that Neville’s parents are institutionalized in St. Mungo’s because they were tortured into madness by Death Eaters. Dumbledore swore him to secrecy but he tells his friends he’d known for a while when they run into Neville visiting his parents for Christmas. Harry gives his Triwizard tournament win money to Fred and George as a business loan at the end of the fourth book but doesn’t tell anyone but them because he doesn’t want to offend the rest of the family. He finally has to Ron and Hermione a year later because they thought Fred and George had done something illegal to get the money. In the sixth book, the wizarding world finally learns that Sirius Black was not Voldemort's right-hand man, and was innocent all along. Harry already learnt the truth in the third book, while Sirius himself died in the fifth. The Order only learns that Severus Snape is still an active Death Eater after he kills Dumbledore, whereas the readers already learn from the start of the sixth book that he made a deal with Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy to kill Dumbledore. Of course, the truth is that Snape was deceiving them and was loyal to Dumbledore all along...which everyone (including Harry) don't find out after his death. |

In Incredibles 2, Tony Rydinger's memory being erased is shown to the audience in the first scene and later we see that Bob had reported Tony's knowledge to Agent Dicker. This leaves Violet unaware that a memory wipe was likely and thinks that Tony is just pretending to not know her because he thinks she's a freak. When Bob hears Violet complaining he knows a memory wipe occurred and starts to ease the conversation into how many times Dicker did wipes for them. That's when Violet realizes what happened and Bob realizes that Dicker removed all of Tony's memories of Violet, not just the superhero reveal part. | |

DuckTales (2017): Near the end of Season 1, Huey and Louie are let in on Dewey and Webby's quest to find out what happened to Della Duck; the adults find out in the very next episode, with Scrooge reluctantly giving The Reveal when pressed. The episode after that ended with The Stinger that Della is still alive, which the main characters wouldn't discover until the middle of the second season... at which point Donald Duck goes missing, unbeknownst to everyone other than the audience. The ending of Season 2 revealed that Scrooge's board of directors were the head of F.O.W.L., but the protagonist would not find out until the middle of Season 3. The rest of the series deals with the fallout of this revelation. |

Sofia the First: In "The Enchanted Feast", the audience sees Miss Nettle disguising herself as Sascha the Sorceress before she infiltrates the castle, but while Sofia has her suspicions, she doesn't know it until Miss Nettle reveals herself after locking away the royal family in the dining hall. In "Day of the Sorcerers", Sofia and her family finally realize Cedric is trying to take over Enchancia as well as the times he tried to take her amulet, something the audience had known since she first came to the castle three whole seasons ago. Sofia told Amber about the magic of her amulet in "The Curse of Princess Ivy" in Season 2, but the special ends Amber getting Laser-Guided Amnesia. She wouldn't learn about it again until season 4's "The Mystic Isles," when she accidentally stumbled on the path to the Secret Library. Princess Elena ends up revealing the truth about the Amulet of Avalor to the Royal Family in "Elena and the Secret of Avalor", albeit only sticking to the fact it has powerful abilities and it came from her kingdom, and she was trapped in it for 41 years until Sofia released her. In the series finale, Sofia finally tells her friends and then her family the truth about her amulet and her duties as a Protector. |

The first season of Jackie Chan Adventures had its human antagonists, the Dark Hand, working to collect the talismans for Shendu, a Demon Sorceror who was turned into a statue 800 years prior, so as to restore his physical form. The heroes aren't even aware of Shendu's existence or why Dark Hand are collecting the talismans until the last two episodes of the season (though they do come across Shendu when he temporarily leaves his body and possesses Jade's, they don't make the connection that the evil spirit and the talking statue are one and the same). | |

In Psychonauts 2, Raz (and the player) learns mid-way through the game that Helmut Fulbear, a founding Psychonauts member long assumed dead, has in fact been alive under everyone's noses the entire time. Much later, Raz needs the help of his widower Bob Zanotto in order to progress, but he's in such a deep state of alchoholic depression that he won't hear either his request for help nor his explanation that Helmut is alive, halting his progress on a high-stakes mission. Only after Raz goes into Bob's mind and is able to help him start the process of mentally recovering is the reveal finally able to hit home. | |

In Deep Wizardry, the second book in the Young Wizards series, Nita and Kit repeatedly break curfew while trying to make sure that a Sealed Evil in a Can stays sealed, forcing them to come clean about being wizards to her parents. At first, the adults think that it's a combination of trickery and hypnosis, so Nita and Kit up the ante by taking them on a trip to the Moon (Nita's younger sister Dairine is not happy about having been left out of the trip). Nita's parents (and eventually Kit's parents) seem to be unusually undisturbed about their children risking their lives to fight evil, but given that the only way to stop them would be to keep them permanently unconscious, that might just be the adults dealing with the hand they've been dealt. | |

When new sets of students are inducted into the Scholomance many are carrying messages for upperclassmen from relatives hoping they are still alive, and this time around some lad announces he had a note from one Gwen Higgins sparking suprised speculation as to why the offspring of the widely well reputed and subbornly independent saintly healer has never made themselves known. Then the kid expands "For her daughter, Galadriel?" and everyone in earshot falls silent as multiple double-takes are directed toward the big South Asian-lookingnote (the elder Higgins is known to be a petite blonde) ill-tempered loner whose supernatural Aura of Menace the bulk of the student body are only just starting to doubt is related to clumsy dabbling in The Dark Arts, a least one student openly starts looking for another by that name, and one of the pair of friends (out of three in existence) El confided important family details to that morningnote ("My mum was almost three months gone with me at graduation... my dad died getting her out") punched her in the arm over the ommission.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Towards the end of season three, Star and Marco end up sharing a kiss while the former is in a relationship with Tom, who considers Marco to be one of his best friends. In the season finale, Marco admits to Tom what happened in an attempt to make him abandon him so he can pull off a Heroic Sacrifice, which fails when Tom comes back under the assumption that Marco was lying (only to be corrected). Tom still takes it surprisingly well, though. As an extension of that, early in the following season, Star is furious when she discovers that Tom learned about the kiss and choose to talk about his conflicted feelings concerning what happened with his mother rather than her. Tom proceeds to rightfully point that he should be the one angry in the situation, since Star should have told him about the kiss herself rather than him having to confront her about it. | |

In Batwoman's run on Detective Comics, Katherine "Kate" Kane's cousin Bette Kane guest-starred in several issues, culminating in a three-part arc where she was kidnapped by a serial killer that Batwoman was tracking. At the end of the arc, after she has been rescued, Bette reveals to her cousin that she is Flamebird, and wishes to be Kate's sidekick. The fact that she was a costumed character had been featured several issues earlier, and her history with the Teen Titans would have revealed it even earlier to readers who were familiar with that series, but she only reveals her secret to Batwoman at the end of the arc. | |

The captain promptly turns into his schoolboy true self, Billy Batson, and explains that the criminal in question had got his best friend killed in an attempt to assassinate him. Superman's immediate expression is shock. In Superman Smashes the Klan, Pretty much everyone knows Superman's backstory by now. But after running from his heritage for most of his life, he decides to learn about it by diving to the bottom of the lake where he threw the Kryptonian sound box, only to discover an underwater Fortress of Solitude had grown there. Once he steps inside, his biological parents, now shown as they truly were, greet him and tell him everything. In The Unknown Supergirl, Lesla-Lar kidnaps and brainwashes Supergirl, but Kara does not find out about it until The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, published one year later. However, she only learns Lesla made dealings with Lex Luthor as pretending to be Supergirl in later storyline Strangers at the Heart's Core. In The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor, Lena finally discovers she is Lex Luthor's little sister, a fact readers had known for twenty years. In the unpublished story The K-Metal from Krypton, Superman learns that he came from Krypton, a fact which readers had known since the first panel of the first issue of Action Comics, published one year and half earlier. |

King Lear: Edmund outs himself to the audience as a Manipulative Bastard out to banish his brother Edgar and usurp his father, Duke of Gloucester early on in Act I. The latter two only find out about it during Act III, when things come to a head and Edmund has Goneril and Regan gouge his father's eyes out. Similarly (and perhaps more importantly) Goneril and Regan discuss getting rid of their father — or at the very least, putting him in his place — as early as the first scene. Lear only realises his daughters have turned on him at the end of Act II, just in time for them to turn him out into a storm. This, coupled with the added realisation that he banished his only loving daughter, Cordelia (yet another piece of knowledge the audience was already privy to), drives him to madness. |

In Watership Down, the invaders from Efrafa are shocked to learn during their standoff with Bigwig that he is not his warren's Chief Rabbit—they had taken it for granted that he was due to his size and strength. Readers, of course, already know that the Chief Rabbit is Hazel, who is a good leader despite his small size because of his determination and faith in his fellow rabbits. | |

Phoenix (2014): The premise is that a woman, Nelly, is trying to reunite with her husband Johnny. Johnny thinks Nelly has died in a concentration camp and mistakes Nelly for a random woman that happens to look like his wife, and hires her to pass for his wife in order to collect her inheritance. Because Nelly is the protagonist and the story is told from her POV, the audience knows that Nelly is in fact Johnny's wife, while Johnny is left in the dark right until the very end, when Nelly reveals the truth and then leaves him. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The series' Greater-Scope Villain, the Others, are introduced in the prologue. Only a few characters have learned about their existence, and it's treated as a big reveal to all of them, since the Others have not been seen for millennia. Cersei and Jaime Lannister's relationship is revealed to the readers in Chapter 8 of the first book, but Ned Stark doesn't learn about it until late to the book, and most other characters aren't privy to it until A Clash of Kings. However, the fact that their relationship is deep enough to produce children — Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen, all of whom are ostensibly Robert Baratheon's heirs — is a secret the readers learn alongside Ned. Jorah Mormont spying on Daenerys for Varys is something that has been disclosed to the readers early in the first book, but she doesn't find out about it until midway through the third book. |

Secret Vampire: The reader knows early on (or just by reading the blurb) that James and his parents are vampires, which he must keep secret from his classmates and his best friend Poppy as per the Night World's laws. He reveals his true nature to Poppy when he learns she's dying to offer her to turn her. Poppy initially thinks he's playing a sick joke until he shows her his Game Face. James later reveals he's a vampire to Phil as well, in order to clear up their misunderstanding and persuade him to help save Poppy. Poppy always thought there was something "different" about James and that this explains a lot. Phil feels the same, though more in the sense that he always felt James was "off". Poppy thinks that James is Oblivious to Love because he only sees her as his childhood friend and is more interested in sophisticated girls that look like super models. James only dates the other girls to feed from them without arousing suspicion, though he also insists to himself that he only views Poppy as a friend. It's very obvious to the reader that he's been in love with her for years. |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel: Lots of them (and extra lots if you include things the audience didn't explicitly know but could guess with high accuracy based on past games), including Alisa revealing what the 'R' in her last name is short for to the entire group and Emma revealing to Rean just how she's able to do some of the stunts she's performed over the course of the game. Some of these are limited to Bond Events while others occur during the normal plot. Towards the beginning of Cold Steel IV, Juna Crawford learns that Giliath Osborne is Rean Schwarzer's father. The player already learned this along with Rean himself and the rest of the old Class VII towards the end of ''Cold Steel II'. Altina Orion already knows from having been Rean's partner for over a year, while Kurt Vander guessed as much from knowledge he had gleaned from other Vanders and his use of the "Unclouded Eye" technique which Rean taught him. Thus, the news is only a shock to Juna, who upon learning just what burden Rean is carrying, becomes even more fired up to go rescue him from the Empire's captivity. |

Similar to the Grand Adventure example, in Winnie the Pooh (2011), Pooh finds a note from Christopher Robin saying he's gone and would be back eventually, but cannot descern it due to having very little brain. Owl misinterprets it as Christopher Robin being captured by a creature called the Backson, and the animals plan to capture it. When Christopher returns in the end, he reveals to them Owl misread the last two words wrong, and that he would be "back soon". | |

Transformers: Animated has plenty of things revealed to the viewers long before the characters ever find out. The end of the three episode pilot reveals that Issac Sumdac has been keeping Megatron's head and hand within his main laboratory after having discovered it 50 years ago, and he had reverse-engineered the Cybertronian technology to create the robots that would make him a successful businessman. This is not revealed to the Autobots until Megatron Rising Part II. The end of Blast From The Past shows Grimlock transforming to robot mode, revealing that the Dinobots were given Sparks and turned into Transformers by the AllSpark energy from Sari's key (something that was foreshadowed earlier in the episode when Megatron finds himself unable to control them). Six episodes later, in Survival of the Fittest, the Dinobots reveal their ability to transform to everyone present (Bulkhead, Prowl, Sari, Fanzone, and Meltdown). Optimus would learn of this in Megatron Rising Part I. In Autoboot Camp, a flashback shows Bumblebee learning of a Decepticon spy amongst the Autobots and suspects it to be Wasp, an Autobot who bullies him. This leads to Bumblebee teaming up with an Autobot named Longarm to expose him as the spy. However, it's revealed at the end of the episode that the true spy is Longarm, who is actually the Decepticon Shockwave in disguise. The main characters don't learn of this until Shockwave reveals himself in A Bridge Too Close Part II. |

No one else finds out until Avocato confesses to Gary in the wake of the latter being used as a tool to kill Fox, and right near the end of the season when Ash walks in on a conversation between the two and relays this horrible revelation to Little Cato. Naturally, none of the parties involved take it well. Especially Ash. | |

Final Fantasy X makes use of this for most of its biggest plot points: Rikku's identity as an Al Bhed is this for the majority of the rest of the party in at two different points; Auron and Lulu find out when she joins the main party, and Wakka and possibly Kimahri find out after fighting her brother's machina, during which Rikku speaks in Al Bhed and calls her opponent "brother." Yuna's Al Bhed heritage is also one (but for Wakka only). He finds out some time after Rikku's secret is outed, from Rikku's father (Yuna's uncle) no less, when he refers to Yuna as his niece. Tidus, however, has known since the party arrived in Luca, when Yuna revealed that she was searching for her uncle. The fact that Sin is Jecht is given to the player (and Tidus) very early on, but the rest of the party only find out on Mt. Gagazet. Well, the rest of the party save Auron, who is the one that reveals it to Tidus. Auron reveals himself to Tidus as an Unsent after fighting Yunalesca (but there were already many hints at this to the player) — the Internal Reveal comes at the end when he has Yuna Send him in front of everyone. But it's strongly implied that Kimahri already knew about this, as he had encountered the dying Auron. None of the others really seem all that surprised either, though, and it's very possible they had already figured it out too. Possibly the biggest of all: Tidus finds out he's a Dream of the Fayth, and will eventually disappear if Sin is permanently defeated, comes just after the first half of Mt. Gagazet (and an intense boss fight with a major villain). It's only several gameplay hours later that Yuna begins to suspect something is awry, and he only openly admits the truth just before the final battle. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The opening of the first episode explains to the audience the story of Princess Celestia's sister, Luna, and how she became corrupted into Nightmare Moon. Only at the end of the premiere does the rest of the cast learn of Nightmare Moon's relationship to Celestia... despite the myth concerning the character clearly noting that the two are siblings. "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows" starts with Pinkie finding out that Cadance and Shining Armor are having a baby. The rest of the episode centers around her crazy antics to avoid telling Twilight until Cadance and Shining Armor are ready to tell her themselves. |

Lori and Dimity together do this in Aunt Dimity's Death. Lori has just discovered Dimity is writing to her from beyond the grave, and Bill finds her just after the first time this happens. Lori tells him about it and shows him the journal page, which looks blank to him — until Dimity writes something to Bill which only he can read. Later in the series, Lori demonstrates the journal link to Emma Harris, and Dimity addresses herself to her as well. | |

Central Park: In Season 1 "Dog Spray Afternoon", both Birdie and the audience know what Bitsy is up to, but Birdie explains he cannot tell Owen or Paige because there are rules to being a narrator. He, however, gets impatient and blurts out to Paige that Bitsy is the one money laundering for the mayor, breaking the rule of revealing too much to the main characters. He tries to cover it up by saying as a busker he overhears business talk in the park all the time. In Season 1 "Hot Oven", the Tillermans finally learns the truth about Bitsy thanks to Brendan, who reveals that she's his great aunt, and that she's plotting to buy Central Park. |

Warrior Cats In the Original Series Bluestar reveals to her grown-up kits that she is their real mother, something the reader (and Fireheart) found out about a while ago. Bluestar telling Firestar about SkyClan in Firestar's Quest, which the reader saw in the prologue. Although some of the information was new. Similarly, Sol mentions it to Hollyleaf and Dovewing in The Forgotten Warrior. In the third and fourth series, the prophecy du jour (known to the readers, Firestar, and Jayfeather) is revealed at least three times. Once to Jayfeather's siblings, once to Dovewing, and once to Brambleclaw, Leafpool, and Squirrelflight. Not to mention Jayfeather finally telling Firestar he knows about the prophecy Any cat training in, or being trained by a member of, the Dark Forest. The readers know it's bad news, and the characters eventually find out that they're being trained by evil cats who want to use them to destroy the Clans. Notable examples include Ivypool in series four, and Crookedstar in his/her Super Edition. A more minor one in Mistystar's Omen. The readers have known for ages that Mothwing doesn't believe in StarClan, but it's a huge reveal to Mistystar and provides the main drama of the book. Bramblestar learning about SkyClan in Bramblestar's Storm. By the time this book came out, readers had known about SkyClan for seven years. |

In Highlander, when Connor and the Kurgan have their last talk in the church and Connor observes the gnarly scar Ramirez left in the Kurgan's throat, the barbarian gloats "Ramirez was a effete snob who died on his knees, I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold". From Connor's dawning look of horror and shame (giving way to an epic Kubrick Stare), the Kurgan realizes that young woman he violated was really Connor's wife, and continues to taunt him with it (saying that she took the secret to her grave because she liked it). The actual rape isn't shown to audiences, but it is alluded he did something unpleasant to her that night in 1542 - his confession just filled in the blanks. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: If the player chooses to teach the Blue Lions, Byleth will learn in Chapter 8 that Blue Lions house leader Dimitri's stepmother happens to be the mother of Black Eagles house leader Edelgard, making the two of them stepsiblings. Dimitri asks Byleth to keep this secret, and this remains secret for eleven chapters and more than five years in-universe(by which time Edelgard has been revealed as the Big Bad of the route), until a dying Lord Arundel curses Dimitri, wishing that he and Edelgard will kill each other. At that point, Dimitri reveals the truth to his classmates. | |

An interesting and common variation on this trope is to have the big secret hid from the player character, typically by means of showing a cutscene from elsewhere. For example, in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Link and Ezlo don't find out until near the end that Vaati has been impersonating the King since they had headed off toward the swamp. | |

If Lee did not tell anyone about his conviction, Lilly will be surprised that Kenny did not know, whereas if Lee did tell Kenny privately, she will be surprised he did know. The game features the "people do not need to be bitten to become a zombie, they just need to die with their brain intact" reveal in Episode 2. Comic readers will already know this, while the characters and players new to The Walking Dead won't. |

In canon Dragon Ball Z, Freeza never learned just who the rose-haired pretty boy that hacked him up happened to be, and the same is mostly held true to the abridged series. Cell, however, does know, seeing as he is made partly from Freeza's DNA; in the third episode of HFIL, however, Cell leads Freeza towards the answer for the purpose of breaking him. Later in HFIL Freeza finds out from his own father that Cell managed to do two things Freeza never could: kill Goku and Trunks. |

A large part of the story involves the characters deciding what to do with that knowledge once they learn it without prior Void Engineer permission. | |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak borrows a lot of its plot points from past games from the Liberl arc, the Crossbell arc, and the Erebonia arc that are treated as huge revelations for the cast but a player who has played the previous games would know right away. Some examples include: Renne's Dark and Troubled Past at the hands of the D∴G Cult (in fact, the Big Bad of Daybreak I is one of its chief members), the jaeger group Zephyr with one of its members joining in a different jaeger group, the brainwashing mask and how to counteract it, how Shizuna knows Rean's Signature Move, Spirit Unification and the other half of his snapped tachi, and the final party member, Bergard Zeman, used to be a former Dominion who was supposedly dead a few months before Cold Steel III begins. | |
