Line 9:
'''Spoiler warning''': while this trope is a basic premise for most of the examples, it is the dramatic ending of others, in which case the series name ''alone'' is a spoiler.

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* A subplot in the [[Tournament Arc]] of the ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' manga quickly builds up into an outright attempted coup of the school in order to break the masquerade in a [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]-esque plot. And in the "[[Bad Future]]", they ''succeed''—but the immediate aftermath (world leaders demanding to know what's going on, mages being recalled, ...) is only vaguely referenced before Team Negi sets out to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]. Or [[Make Wrong What Once Went Right]], [[Your Mileage May Vary|depending on your point of view]]...
Line 44:
* The comic series ''[[Bite Club]]'' features a world where vampires are just a variant of humanity who are exceptionally long-lived, incredibly resilient, and gain strength from blood. After centuries of hiding from stigma, they reveal themselves to the world sometime in the early 20th century, and by the time the story opens, they end up assuming positions in organized crime, business, even the priesthood.
* The Mirage-published ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mirage|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' comic featured a rare intentional unmasquing when the alien Utroms reveal their existence to Earth and offer to share their technology; within months, Earth's technology level has been increased tenfold, and the planet has been opened to alien travel and commerce. (This leads to a slightly ironic situation where the turtles themselves are free to walk the streets...as long as they tack on a few prosthetics and [[Mistaken for Aliens|claim to be alien visitors]].)
* In ''[[ROM
* ''[[Superman: Secret Identity]]'' ends with the society accepting the existence of superhumans like Clark, leading to scientific advancements.
* This is now well and truly the case for the [[Buffy Verse]] {{spoiler|what with LA being transported to hell and back and vampires having reality TV shows.}}
== Fan Works ==
* Happens in ''[[I Am What I Am (fanfic)|I Am What I Am]]'', a ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fic by M. McGregor, starting around 2012 in an future timeline, when a worldwide demonic invasion begins and in order to prove that the New Watcher's Council weren't just a bunch of crazies, Willow provides an [[Info Dump]] of the world's true history and a lot more to the entire world at once. The whole period is referred to afterward as "Revelation".
