About this pattern
Explanation
はもちろん is used to emphasize that the first item is obvious or true, and then add another item that is just as true or even more surprising. It pairs a topic marked with は with another statement introduced after はもちろん, often using も or も含めて. It conveys a sense of inevitability or strong affirmation, similar to 'not only ... but also' in English.
