shows up
Comes into view
Shows up means to arrive or appear, often with emphasis on the act of being present: She finally showed up an hour late.
It can also mean to become visible or evident: The stain shows up under black light.
To show someone up is to embarrass them by outperforming or exposing their inadequacy: He showed up his rival in the debate.
