* Played with in ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', when we're left wondering what happened to Tenma's date for a good third of the show. {{spoiler|[[Stalker with a Crush|Eva]] had a talk with her.}}

* ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' was making plot threads in ''the last episode of the season.'' And the spinoff is apparently based in the same time period as the original, not a sequel that happens to have a new protagonist.

** This is resolved by the simple realisation that Index is the anime adaption of the light novel series. Which has over twenty volumes, and is only implied to be nearing a conclusion because {{spoiler|the various main characters are fighting to stop World War 3}}. The anime only reached volume 6. There IS now a sequel.

** ''[[To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]'' overlaps with Index's plot somewhat, but it's never outright mentioned in the series that it actually starts before the events of Index. The only thing that hints towards this is {{spoiler|Touma's appearance later on, where he talks to Mikoto in a way that one would talk to someone they don't know. This implies that he's since suffered the after effects of stopping Index's Dragon's Breath and activating the Feathers of Light, which resulted in him losing all his memories.}}

*** An event with Mikoto and {{spoiler|one of her clones}} is supposed to occur, which then involves her finding out about the rest of them, which immediately follows into the appropriate episodes of ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. Railgun has not reached this point, so it's quite a while behind Index.

* In ''[[Pluto]]'', Adolph Haas and his family vanish after partially answering a question about the past of main character Gesicht. This is despite the fact that Haas was a member of a Ku Klux Klan-esque anti-robot organization which is still presumably trying to kill him for messing up their plans with his own vendetta against Gesicht. It's particularly odd since Naoki Urasawa is usually pretty good about not leaving characters' fates hanging like this.

** Admittedly Haas and his family aren't given a proper resolution. But his relationship with Gesicht had been resolved so it's not a total vanishment. However anti-robot organization does remain unresolved.

* In the ''[[Inuyasha]]'' manga, Kouga leaves before the final battle after getting both of the jewel shards permanently removed from his legs. He might have just gone home and stayed there, but unlike the rest of the characters, he never does get a definitive ending. He just disappears, and none of the other characters seem to really care what happened to him. Unless you count the anime, in which he {{spoiler|gets married to Ayame, an anime-only character}}.

** YMMV. Kouga might be too major a character to be relevant for this trope. The manga also made it clear that his priority lay with the living members of his tribe who were suffering heavy losses because he was racing around trying to avenge the dead. Takahashi gave him a power-up arc to get him a tribal-specific weapon designed for protecting his tribe, emphasised how his lack of leadership was hurting his tribe and then wrote him out. YMMV as to whether Kouga was left hanging or very clearly had his storyline wrapped up.

* [[Full Metal Panic!]] has Sarah Miller (Known as Kudan Mira in the original japanese.) People who have watched the entire series may be wondering, who the hell is Sarah Miller? Well, she's the red haired girl who is rescued by Sousuke in the very first episode. Her being kidnapped by Gauron (along with her unique hair color) imply that she is a whispered and therefore fairly important, but she is never seen again or even mentioned outside of that opening scene. {{spoiler|In the anime at least. In the novels she comes up again, where it is revealed that she is indeed a whispered (and under the protection of Mithril.) Certain things, such as the appearance of Tessa's brother imply that the anime had no idea how many seasons it would have, but that doesn't make Sarah's complete disappearance any less odd.}}

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'': During the first season, the politicians of the major power blocs played an important if supporting roles. But by season 2, there's no mention of them after the time skip. The Union President does make a cameo at the season finale.

** The same thing occurs to Celestial Being's Observers, who apparently monitor the organization in one episode. They're never seen or mentioned again in the show.
