[Solved] How to know why a package is being updated/installed (lemmy.cafe)

Hey, sometimes when I do pacman -Syu, I see some weird package being installed and I am curious which explicitly installed package is installing/updating it.

How do I so with pacman?

I know we can easily find out why an installed package is being installed, but what about before the package is being installed?

Oh, I didn't knew you can pass 2 is. I was depending on the tab completion from pacman, but I didn't see that it says you could specify i's
