** Ichigo Kurosaki's mother Masaki died when he was nine years old. Ichigo's memories of the incident make him believe she died protecting him from a hollow. Her death changed both him and Karin from crybabies into perpetual frowners and Yuzu, at the age of five, coped by taking responsibility for looking after the family and the house. As the manga develops, and his mother's life and death become more important to the story, she eventually becomes a PosthumousCharacter.
** Uryuu's mother is a complete mystery for more than 500 manga chapters. The very first {{anime}} {{filler}} arc gives her a tiny cameo where we don't see her face but Uryuu implies she's dead and claims she always possessed an air of sadness. Only in the final manga arc does she start to come into focus. [[spoiler:Kanae Ishida, nee Katagiri, was a mixed-blood Quincy who worked as a servant in the (pure-blood) Ishida household before marrying the heir, Ryuuken. She died 7 years before the start of the main story in ThePurge of the "impure" carried out by the Quincy [[TheEmperor Emperor]] Yhwach.]]

[[spoiler: And her death is eventually confirmed to have been due to ThePurge of impure quincies carried about by TheEmperor of the Quincies, Yhwach. He stole her power, because she was a hollow-tainted quincy, just as she engaged the Grand Fisher in battle, leaving her defenceless against a hollow she should have been able to curb-stomp.]]

ThePurge that claimed Masaki's life also claimed Katagiri's life. Although the Grand Fisher ensured Masaki's death was quick, the power theft caused Katagiri to collapse into a coma; it took her three months to die.]]

* Played hilariously on ''TheAmandaShow'' in ''Moody's Point.'' Moody's mom disappeared in a hot air balloon, and it's presented as a case of NeverFoundTheBody that was quite traumatizing--however, we then cut to Moody's mom several times, floating above the scenes and calling down to the other characters for help.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' pushes this to a logical extreme. Out of all seventeen main characters over ten seasons, only three ([[BlackBestFriend Pete]], [[TheDragon Jason]], [[JerkJock Whitney]]) definitely have their mothers around and they are all minor. Jason's is an EvilMatriarch to boot. {{Lois|Lane}} was 6 when Ella Lane passed away. Moira Sullivan was voluntarily institutionalized to protect Chloe. Lilian Luthor died when SelfDemonstrating/{{Lex|Luthor}} was 13. Lana's parents were killed in the first meteor shower. Laura Queen died with her husband in a plane crash caused by Lionel Luthor. Jimmy never met his mother. Faora (Davis' mother) is trapped in the PhantomZone, [[AbusiveParents not that he misses her]]. [[spoiler:Pamela]] (Tess' birth mother) [[spoiler:died of cancer seasons before Tess was even introduced.]] The deaths of Lara-El and Alura-El (Kara's mother) on [[DoomedHometown Krypton]] should also probably be mentioned.

Her death changed both him and Karin from crybabies into perpetual frowners and Yuzu, at the age of five, coped by taking responsibility for looking after the family and the house.

** Uryuu's mother is a complete mystery. The very first {{anime}} {{filler}} arc gives her a tiny cameo where we don't see her face but Uryuu implies she's dead and claims she always possessed an air of sadness. However, the manga itself never mentions her, nor even hints at her, so it's unknown whether she's dead or alive. It takes 530 chapters before the manga begins hinting at his mother's identity with the introduction of a flashback character who is ''very'' strongly implied to eventually become Uryuu's mother, but even then the manga doesn't rush into confirming she's definitely Uryuu's mother or whether she's alive or dead in the current storyline. [[spoiler: A mixed-blood Quincy called Katagiri was introduced to the pure-blood Ishida family when she and Ryuuken were both very small children to become both Ryuuken's personal servant and his personal bodyguard. Her devotion to Ryuuken is [[UndyingLoyalty absolute]].]]
