This is when somebody has a revelation due to the fact that the person he is talking to has an injury. The most common case of this is secret identities and/or robbers getting injured while masked, and then the person they fought noticing a similar injury on the unmasked person. This can also happen in a slightly different way. When a person is injured they have to receive medical treatment, it can reveal things they didn't want to be known. The most common one is a soldier being revealed to be a woman. Or a robot. Often paired with Cut Himself Shaving, which is the person trying to explain away the odd injury. Even if the explanation is good, it won't fool somebody who knows about the original injury. |

In an episode of Bones, this is how the characters find out the identity of the Gravedigger. By studying the most recent victim's body, they realize that the victim must have broken some of the Gravedigger's ribs in self defense. Conveniently, only minutes after this discovery, they are approached by Heather Taffet, the agent in charge of the case and notice that she has broken ribs. | |

While not an injury per se, there is an episode of White Collar where Neal gets himself captured and drugged up with an unspecified drug that makes him higher than a kite. When Peter rescues him Neal admits to him that he trusts Peter more than anyone - a revelation he probably wouldn't have made if he weren't so loopy. He also admits to stealing some manuscripts via carrier pigeons while in this state. |

Zorro: Zorro (1957): Zorro's secret identity is figured out once by the Big Bad of the season. Although there are many Sherlock Holmes-esque clues he cited, they all are just to back up the fact that Don Diego de la Vega had a sword wound in the exact place he had stabbed Zorro. Zorro (1990): In an episode, Zorro himself uses this as a Spot the Imposter trick. Facing both the Alcalde and his impersonator at the same time, he conclusively proves which one is the real Alcalde to all present by pointing out that he had wounded the true Alcalde on the wrist some time previous, then slashing the sleeves of his opponents to see which one had a scar there. |

Spider-Man Trilogy: In the first Spider-Man movie, Norman Osborn realizes that Peter is Spider-Man after Aunt May notices that Peter has a gash on his arm, and Norman recognizes it as the one that he (as Green Goblin) had given Spider-Man when they fought in the burning apartment building. A slight variation happened in Spider-Man 3, where it was revealed that the Osborns' butler not only knew everything about the Green Goblin project but had identified that the injuries Norman Osborn had received were clearly from his own glider, thus revealing (to Harry) that Norman had been responsible for his own death. Word of God says that Harry was actually hallucinating him being there at the time, implying that he subconsciously figured it out himself after discovering the project in the previous film. |

Averted in the The Green Hornet movie. The titular hero refuses medical attention to the bullet wound in the shoulder he received while masked, knowing that it would arouse suspicion if somebody arrived with the same exact injury just after the battle.

In one chapter of the Slayers manga, Lina suggests using this to identify a werewolf. Unfortunately, the only injury the werewolf suffered that could be used was that Lina had fireballed it in the ass. Since they couldn't go around town pulling people's pants down, they came up with an alternative plan - they gathered the town's population in one place, fried an egg, and showed them the "Sunny-Side-Up Full Moon". The werewolf exposed himself by being the first to point out how utterly ridiculous this plan was. | |

In Return to Cabin by the Lake, a presumed-to-be-dead serial killer named Stanley Caldwell infiltrates a movie set by impersonating one of the producers he murdered. He eventually kidnaps the screenwriter who was doing research into his life, but she initially thinks he's just overdoing a Method Acting approach. He leans over to show her a scar on his arm from a late female victim, leading to the dawning realization that he's the monster she's been looking for. | |

In the first case of Gyakuten Kenji 2, the president of a foreign country is shot at by someone wearing a red raincoat. Sure enough, a red raincoat happens to be found at the scene, and it has a small bloodstain on the inside. There happens to be a nearby ice cream man named "John Doe" with a bandaged arm that bleeds occasionally, who denies the raincoat is his. There's a twist though: The raincoat is his... but he's not the shooter. There were actually two people wearing red raincoats at the time, and the second one was much better hidden. | |

Initially this story just seems to highlight Jackrum's badass nature but after the reveal that Jackrum is actually female it becomes clear that he did it to avoid a Revealing Injury. | |

This is sort of borderline, but in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, late in the season, protagonist Subaru fights some combat cyborgs who are kidnapping her big sister Ginga. She fails to save her and is seriously injured, which is when we see that she is a combat cyborg too. In A's, Signum declines to take a bath with the others, and after Hayate is out of the room, Zafira correctly guesses that Fate managed to cut through Signum's armor. Signum wanted to prevent Hayate from finding out that they were collecting Linker Cores to save her, as they know that she does not approve of their doing so. |

In Tales of Symphonia when Colette takes an attack at the end of the first disk, it damages her sleeve enough to reveal that her "angel toxicosis" is becoming much worse.. The scene plays out rather odd if you are in a new game+ and using a costume title, as they default to the normal costume mid cutscene. | |

Law & Order: Detectives Green and Fontana begin amassing clues to the death of a 9/11/01 widow on the Battery Park ferry. Their prime suspect has a cast on her right arm, which she claims to be the result of a forward fall on subway steps. The attending physician at the ER "hypothetically" details a forward fall will result in a Collis fracture, whereas a backward fall will result in a Smith's fracture. The suspect was treated for a Smith's fracture, "anatomically impossible" in a forward fall. The detectives' "Eureka!" Moment is viewable on YouTube here: [1]. | |

An example in which the injury reveals the character to the audience but not the hero appears in the horror anthology Tales for the Midnight Hour. A pair of brothers go out hunting a mysterious creature that's been attacking around their town. When it attacks one of them, his brother just barely manages to reach him in time to cut off its paw and scare it away. After they come home, nobody notices the grandmother who lives in their house hiding a bloody stump under her shawl. | |

One battle with the Green Goblin in The Spectacular Spider-Man leaves the Goblin limping away. Spider-Man follows him and discovers him to be his friend Harry Osborn, complete with Goblin costume and injured leg; while Spidey's suspected culprit, Harry's father Norman, was just fine. Subverted next season, when Norman revealed that he really was the Green Goblin all along. He had faked a limp and framed Harry, going so far as to injure his own son's leg to throw Spider-Man off. | |

In the fourth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Manfred Von Karma never had the bullet removed from his shoulder to avoid becoming a suspect in Gregory Edgeworth's death. Phoenix exposes him by first realizing that two bullets were fired (the one that broke the glass and hit von Karma in the shoulder and the one that killed Gregory), and using a metal detector to find the other bullet. Invoked in the third case, when someone steals the Steel Samurai case and pretends to be limping from a sprained ankle to cast suspicion on Will Powers, who sprained his ankle. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has several examples. Because Synchronization causes injuries inflicted on Stands to (usually) reflect to their Stand Users, this can be a way to reveal a hidden enemy. In Stardust Crusaders, Polnareff manages to stab The Hanged Man, causing its Stand User to scream out in pain. The heroes follow the sound and find a man with a similar wound bleeding out on the ground. This is actually the villain exploiting the trope, as shown when the Stand User reveals himself from a safer position and explains that he attacked an innocent bystander to provide a distraction. Early in Diamond is Unbreakable, when Josuke traps Aqua Necklace for the second time, he rapidly spins it around and notices its Stand User go flying out of their hiding place in a nearby tree. A little later in Diamond is Unbreakable, Josuke encounters Surface, a Stand in the form of a marionette that mimics the appearance of someone who touches it — in this case Josuke himself. During the fight, Josuke severs one of the mimic's hands and later warns Jotaro that they can tell the two Josukes apart by that injury. Ultimately it never comes up, as Surface is defeated without Jotaro ever noticing its attack. Averted in Vento Aureo. After Narancia deals grievous wounds to Clash, he figures he can track the user's labored breathing from said wounds. However, the user hides himself in a crowd of people and said user was hiding his wounds so as not to be spotted. Instead, he psyches out the user's partner by showing his severed tongue along with the new one he got courtesy of Giorno's Gold Experience. All Narancia had to do from there was find the one whose breathing changed suddenly. |

In the B-plot of the Enemy at the Door episode "The Librarian", set on the German-occupied island of Guernsey during World War II, a German officer has been tasked with finding a man who tried to escape the island in the previous episode. The escape attempt happened at night, so the Germans don't have a clear description of the man, but they do know that he was wounded in the arm when a patrol shot at him. After narrowing down the pool of suspects by other means, he manufactures an opportunity to "accidentally" stumble against the arm of his prime suspect, with the suspect's reaction confirming that he has an arm injury which he is concealing. | |

Ace Attorney: In the fourth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Manfred Von Karma never had the bullet removed from his shoulder to avoid becoming a suspect in Gregory Edgeworth's death. Phoenix exposes him by first realizing that two bullets were fired (the one that broke the glass and hit von Karma in the shoulder and the one that killed Gregory), and using a metal detector to find the other bullet. Invoked in the third case, when someone steals the Steel Samurai case and pretends to be limping from a sprained ankle to cast suspicion on Will Powers, who sprained his ankle. In the last case of Trials and Tribulations, Phoenix discovers the killer was wounded after committing the murder and reveals the location where it was hidden; beneath Godot's mask. In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, the fact that Alita Tiala's scarf hides the marks from where Dr. Meratkis tried to strangle her turns out to be a crucial point of evidence. In the first case of Gyakuten Kenji 2, the president of a foreign country is shot at by someone wearing a red raincoat. Sure enough, a red raincoat happens to be found at the scene, and it has a small bloodstain on the inside. There happens to be a nearby ice cream man named "John Doe" with a bandaged arm that bleeds occasionally, who denies the raincoat is his. There's a twist though: The raincoat is his... but he's not the shooter. There were actually two people wearing red raincoats at the time, and the second one was much better hidden. |

Dragon Ball Z: Videl points out that the facial scratches Gohan was trying to explain away were pretty much identical to the ones she saw Saiyaman receive when trying to wrangle an escaped dinosaur. She uses this info to blackmail Gohan into teaching her how to fly (She does ask if that's something that can be taught, to her credit). | |
