Line 49:
** Then, finally, we learn that the feathers were actually soul fragments of the clones!
** Not to mention that both the Syaoran and Sakura's real names are Tsubasa!
* ''[[Baccano!]]'' -- The Rail Tracer is Claire Stanfield/Vino, AKA the young conductor supposedly killed in the second episode.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is loaded with these. The Eva's are alive and cloned from Angels. Rei is a clone of Shinji's mother and there's a whole aquarium full of clones. The Eva's have human souls (specifically, Shinji, Asuka and Ritsuko's mothers). [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Ritsuko is not a natural blonde.]] Kaworu is an angel. And so on and so forth.
** Eva 00's soul is probably Rei 1, not Ritsuko's mother.
Line 64:
** Don't forget the reason everyone goes crazy.
** Also for the viewer/reader (and Keiichi during Atonement chapter) the big reveal of unreliable narration during the question arcs. Go watch Onikakushi-hen knowing {{spoiler|Keiichi is delusional and the girls really are just trying to help.}} So many little things suddenly make sense. Not to mention {{spoiler|Rika's dimension-jumping and Hanyuu's existence.}}
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' does this with ''Pokemon's [[Ambiguous Gender|genders]]''. For example, Pikachu, after ten years of debating, is proven to be male..Or, [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|is it]]?
** In ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', [[Bifauxnen|Yellow]] is revealed to be a girl at the end of the Yellow Chapter (though Red doesn't find out until the Gold/Silver Chapter).
* In ''[[Umi Monogatari]]'' it is revealed that Sedna is formed from the combined sorrow that the inhabitants of the island committed to the sea.
Line 259:
** The colt {{spoiler|doesn't work on Lucifer.}}
** Season 6: {{spoiler|Sam is soulless! The Campbells are working for Crowley!}} And up to eleven in the last four episodes of that season: {{spoiler|Crowley isn't dead! Castiel is working with Crowley to open Purgatory! Cas raised Sam from the pit! '''Cas is the [[Big Bad]]!'''}}
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S3 /E11 Utopia|"Utopia"]], where in the last 15 minutes it is revealed that Professor Yana is the Master, chameleon arched, and the Face of Boe's message was a secret acronym hinting at this ('''Y'''ou '''A'''re '''N'''ot '''A'''lone). Then the Master regenerates into the British Prime Minister.
** [[Enemy Within|"It's us!"]], if you hadn't guessed it an episode earlier.
** Who is [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 /E12 The Pandorica Opens|the Pandorica]]'s intended occupant, the "nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies", the "most feared being in all the cosmos"? It's the Doctor.
** The reveal of River Song, and who she is. Series 5 and 6 have done this a lot.
** Technically, Jack's immortality although it was revealed in episode 1 of Torchwood.
Line 306:
** ''[[Mass Effect|Mass Effect 2]]'', meanwhile, has three major ones. Firstly, the Collectors are actually the Protheans, repurposed and horifically modified by the Reapers to serve them. Secondly, the abducted humans are being used by the Collectors to build a '''human''' Reaper, revealing the reason the Reapers commit galactic xenocide every 50,000 years: it's their version of reproduction. Finally, Harbinger is a Reaper, and the Collector-General is just another Mook.
*** Turns out Cerberus and the Illusive Man actually ''are'' evil. [[Late Arrival Spoiler|Who]] [[The Un-Reveal|knew]]?
* ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'': "Would you kindly..."
** Shortly after: "It's time to end this little masquerade. There ain't no Atlas, kid. Never was. Fella in my line of work takes on a variety of aliases. Hell, once I was even a chinaman for six months. But you've been a sport, so I guess I owe you a little honesty. The name's Frank Fontaine."
** Then comes [[BioshockBioShock (series)]] 2, where you find out that {{spoiler|Eleanor brought you back with the help of the new Little Sisters, and has been watching your every move.}}
** Minerva's Den - {{spoiler|Sigma is Porter.}}
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' brings 'em until the final dungeon.
