What Happened To Kotaro'S Parents

Applejack's parents' fate is a secret in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Her creators say that they are deceased. The series doesn't explicitly say or evoke this, but rather it is discretely pointed out through a number of symbols. For instance, in 'The Perfect Pear', a heart shaped carving with their names, Pear Butter and Bright Mac on it suggests both their eternal love and - through its very shape as a void - they are missing.

In 'Lilo & Stitch', we're informed through subtle hints and mentions that Lilo's parents passed away in a car accident, leaving her under the care of her older sister, Nani.

The parents of Naruto Uzumaki are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Let me tell you their story.

Growing up with 'The Wizard of Oz' as my comfort story, I always wondered about Dorothy’s parents. The books and movies never explicitly state what happened to them, but there’s a heavy implication they’re no longer around. In the original 1939 film, Dorothy lives with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry on their Kansas farm, and there’s no mention of her biological parents. This absence suggests they might have passed away, leaving her in the care of her aunt and uncle. The melancholy tone of 'Over the Rainbow' hints at Dorothy’s longing for something more, which could stem from that loss. It’s one of those subtle, heartbreaking details that makes the story resonate so deeply—especially for kids who’ve experienced similar absences. The lack of concrete answers adds to the mystery, letting readers project their own interpretations onto Dorothy’s backstory.

Spider Man, or Peter Parker, has a mysterious backstory when it comes to his parents, Richard and Mary Parker. They were secret agents for S.H.I.E.L.D. and died while on a mission when their plane crashed. Throughout the series, we get glimpses of their involvement in covert operations and their legacy which greatly influenced Peter's journey.

Man, Naruto's backstory hits hard every time. His parents, Minato Namikaze (the Fourth Hokage) and Kushina Uzumaki, were total legends. During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, they sacrificed themselves to seal the beast inside baby Naruto. Minato used the 'Dead Demon Consuming Seal' to split the fox's chakra—half in Naruto, half in himself—knowing it’d cost his life. Kushina, who’d just given birth and was weakened, still fought to protect Naruto with her last breaths. Their love for him and the village was insane. What gets me is how Naruto grew up not even knowing who they were until way later. The way their legacy shaped him—especially finding out Minato was his dad during the Pain arc—still gives me chills. Rewatching those flashbacks in 'Naruto Shippuden,' especially when Kushina tells Naruto about their hopes for him, gets me emotional. They weren’t just heroes; they were parents who wanted their son to be happy. It’s wild how their choices defined the entire series. Naruto carrying their will without even realizing it early on? Peak storytelling.

Ah, 'Max and Ruby', quite the nostalgia trip that one is. Now, anyone who's watched the show might've noticed the conspicuous absence of Max and Ruby's parents. The creator of the series, Rosemary Wells, once explained this by saying that she kept them out intentionally, to mirror how children often play in the absence of adults. In this way, the show promotes problem-solving and independence among kids, who must navigate their world without the direct intervention of grown-ups. No dark or mysterious storyline there, it's about encouraging self-sufficiency among the young viewers.

Peter's parents, Richard and Mary Parker, ended tragically. They were agents for S.H.I.E.L.D, and their job led to their death in a plane crash. This event left Peter an orphan.
