History MissingMom / AnimeAndManga

** Other Straw Hats hit by the Missing Mom are Usopp, Nami and Sanji. The death of Usopp's mother Bachina by illness started him on his tendency for lying. Nami's biological mother is never shown but it's safe to assume she died in the war 18 years ago, and her later adoptive mother Bellemere sacrificed herself to save her and her sister Nojiko. As for Sanji, his mother [[spoiler: Sora]] died when he was very young from [[spoiler:a drug she took to try and prevent Judge's plans to modify his children's genes and turn them into {{Tykebomb}}s. It sadly only worked on Sanji, and the drug's aftereffects made her DelicateAndSickly and eventually killed her, but she died with no regrets, happy that Sanji grew up into such a kind child.]] Chopper's mother is also almost certainly dead due to the life expectancy of a normal reindeer being only 17 years.

** Kiki's mother is also implied to be dead though it is uncertain how old Kiki was when this occurred.
** Zen's mother started to spend less and less time at the castle after her husband's death, eventually leaving it and her sons almost entirely to deal with some overpowered corrupt nobles in the north of the country. As the regent her distance from her children is somewhat expected however.

** Even though Naruto's mother, [[spoiler:Kushina Uzumaki]], is dead, she was never even mentioned until very late in the series. [[spoiler:This is because she was the previous container for the Kyubii. After Naruto was born, it escaped after an attack by Tobi, and Kushina had to seal it in her son's body at the cost of her (and her husband Minato's) life]]. He shares her surname, though. [[spoiler:In a surprising encounter, Kushina's spirit is revealed to linger inside Naruto and she directly interacts with him before moving on to the afterlife.]]
** Also, lots of characters like Neji, Hinata, Shino, etc., are shown to have fathers but no mothers. Hinata's mom was seen once in the anime in a picture, but not much more is mentioned.

* In Manga/UraraMeirocho this is the primary reason why the WildChild Chiya goes to Labyrinth Town, completely clueless to the fact that it is the town where [[GoalinLife aspiring young girls]] go to learn {{Whatevermancy}}. All Chiya knows is that if she goes there she will [[IWillFindYou find her mother]].
