Line 21:
* Noboru Yamaguchi is working to avert this trope by attempting to finish ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'' as fast as possible while also undergoing treatment for cancer.
* Ken Ishikawa, the creator of ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Though he did leave some notes behind, they were apparently only for Getter Robo Hien - a prequel. The cliffhanger ending of ''Getter Robo Āḥ'', the latest series chronologically, has yet to be resolved.
* The director of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'', Takeyuki Kanda, died while the OVA was still being produced. One effect of that was that it took over three years to finish it, making it the longest-running single [[Gundam]] production until [[Gundam Unicorn]], except the long running period for that has been planned from the start.
** And then, a decade and a half later, the guy who took over for him died while working on another series, the as-of-yet unreleased ''[[Towa no Quon]]''.
* ''[[Guyver]]'' fans also fear this with Yoshiki Takaya. We don't know much about his habits and health but since he's been doing his great work since the 80s, works a monthly manga, has no assistants, and takes breaks, we fear that he may cease to be before the manga ends. Up until a few months ago some thought the manga was beginning to wind up for a climax when a new thread appeared that could be sign of the end being a bit further away than we thought.

* [[Kaneto Shiozawa]], the Japanese voice of the [[Pirate Ninja Zombie Robot|Cyborg Ninja]] in the first ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', died of a brain concussion [[Death by Falling Over|after falling down a flight of stairs]] on May 10, 2000. As a tribute, his voice recordings from the original ''MGS'' were used for ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' for the second Cyborg Ninja (who was actually another character), as well as in ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]''.
* [[Gunpei Yokoi]], producer of ''[[Metroid]]'' and developer of the [[Game Boy]], the ubiquitous D-Pad, and infamous [[Virtual Boy]], died in a traffic accident while working on Bandai's handheld competitor, the [[Wonder Swan]].
* The [[Legacy of Kain]] series was supposed to have one more game to tie all the lose ends up, however the departure of series writer Amy Hennig for [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|uncharted]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|waters]] and the death of [[Tony Jay]], one of the major voice actors, means that the series is now in limbo.
