What's with Andy's Unanswered Questions?

What are the unanswered questions of your favorite book or series? Do you have any?

Basically, this is where a book or other work stumps you on many unanswered questions, which may or may not be answered years later. This can even happen in real life, though the question must be realistic if a real-life event raises questions.

Trope Namer is What's with Andy?.

If a show *deliberately* delivers this trope, that's Gainax Ruined the Ending.

Keep in mind that not every example of this trope has to be answered. Because why would they? You'd only get a rhetorical question for some unanswered questions.

## Examples

* What's with Andy? is the Trope Namer. Because why does Andy want to be the greatest prankster alive?
* Most children's books end with a bunch of unanswered questions.
* *Chloe*: The entire idea with the bubble wrap on a bus stop sign. Why did it happen in the first place? And even more surprising, why did at least one bus stop in the United States take cues from this?
* Super Mario World: Why does Green Yoshi turn into an adult almost immediately after being hatched, while the others do not?
	+ Super Paper Mario: What happened to Lady Timpani after Count Bleck married her?
* League of Super Evil: Why does every single one of Voltar's plans backfire in some way?
* Atomic Betty: Why does Betty act so bossy in "Mission Earth"?
* My Life Me: Why did Birch's book work right until Liam found his mom's copy?
	+ Also, why do they have higher-pitched voices when they "go chibi"? That's not what anime usually does.
* Why does Mushibugyo have a similar art style to Kill la Kill?
	+ Might be a coincidence, seeing how it might be the other way around.
* Why does APTX4869 have that rare side-effect that shrunk Jimmy Kudo into a child? To keep the plot going?
* Ed, Edd n Eddy: Why is Eddy unlucky enough to have his scams backfire (by either the others finding out, the scam falling apart, having all his money and/or jawbreakers taken back, etc.)?
* Danganronpa: Just *how* did Alter Ego save Makoto Naegi, and why didn't he do the same for Kirigiri?
	+ Kirigiri doesn't have the "Lucky" status, while Naegi was the "Ultimate Lucky Student".
* My Neighbor Seki: What happened to Yokoi after her teacher visited?
* PB&J Otter: Why do the Snooties have an insanely large amount of cash?
* The Powerpuff Girls: Why was "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" *not* aired in the US? Could it be due to depictions of communism within that episode?
	+ It didn't air because of flashing colors. What an irony.
* The Problem Solverz: Why was this show passed on by Adult Swim?
	+ They say it was "too cute", but they aired Crayon Shin-chan years before, making this a big irony.
* A Raisin in the Sun: What happened to the Younger family after they moved to Clybourne Park?
* Vocaloid: Why is Hatsune Miku commonly associated with vegetable juice or leeks/spring onions?
	+ The reason why Miku is associated with leeks/spring onions is due to the Hatsune Miku cover of "Ievan Polkka", and the reason why Miku is associated with vegetable juice is because of "PoPiPo".
* Yandere Simulator: Did Ayano really get her yandere traits from her mother?
* Too Many Toys: How much money does Spencer's relatives and friends spend on toys?
	+ And this was a book that came out during a time when the economy was tanking, nevermind the fact that Toys "R" Us shuttered its regular US operations 10 years later but later angered ex-employees by making a comeback.
* How could *Momotaro*, an anime from the 1940s, use fluent English at a time when Japan was at war with every English-speaking country except for Ireland?
	+ And of course, it never addresses what would have happened had Japan actually *lost* the war in the Pacific (which they did). Then again, it's a WWII-era propaganda film, so this was expected.
* Unless you happen to be knowledgeable at world history, you'd be trying to figure out why Germany had to pay France a big sum of money in *Hetalia*, or why *everything* happened when it did in said anime. The kicker being this trope can be avoided in the first place if you take history classes.
	+ Averted in English-speaking territories that got the anime, however; Funimation at least translate some of the footnotes to avert this; this is carried over to the Manga and Madman releases in the UK and Oceania respectively.
* *The Magic School Bus*: One episode of the original cartoon focuses on friction. Taking away friction causes objects in motion to remain in motion forever; it's pretty much the reason Newton's First Law of Motion says "An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force". But why does the friction stop working on that particular figure when similar images in reality do not cause that? Of course, it's Ms. Frizzle's class the series focuses on, but still...
	+ Why does Ms. Frizzle get so crazy in the parody by *Smosh*, aside from her husband cheating on her? (The standalone sketch, not the sketch that has the Friz losing her job.)
		- While the reason she doesn't have the bus is explained in the parody of the theme song ("Frizzle lost her job somehow, so she doesn't have the bus"), why is her *personal car* as magic as the Bus from the source material? Of course, it could just be Smosh being Smosh, but still.
* In *South Park*, specifically "The Pandemic Special", why do people believe that the mustache-sprouting is a result of a new strain of COVID-19 rather than certain doses of the titular Pandemic Special?
	+ In-universe, Cartman wanted to figure out why schools were starting to re-open. Of course, in real life, this trope is averted in regards to that; schools simply started adopting safety measures to protect against COVID.
* A few mathematicians once theorized that anything divided by zero would equal zero (like how any number times zero is zero). *However*, what baffled them was the fact that this wasn't the case. Eventually, mathematicians gave up and said that dividing by zero just couldn't be done. Thus, this trope coming into play is the *reason* anything divided by zero gives just one answer: "undefined".
* The 45th US President, Donald Trump, filed a bunch of lawsuits following his election loss to Joe Biden, claiming that there was election fraud. First off, why would one claim election fraud when the results were legitimate, and why, if Trump wanted to contest the election, were the lawsuits filed after the election? Predictably, these questions were the reasons those lawsuits were laughed out of court.
	+ And it didn't stop there, as unfortunately most of Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol. Most people strongly condemned the actions of the rioters (Tropes Fanon itself does not condone the actions the rioters took during the incident), and this made Trump more prone to be removed from office than he previously was. But some people actively *supported* the rioters, and got well-deserved punishment for it. Which leads to this question: who in their right mind would condone an incident like this?
* Qubo, the last children's network on broadcast TV that isn't PBS Kids, launched in 2007 (2006 as blocks on NBC, Telemundo, and i/Ion). It's been through a lot of programming, mostly from its biggest providers- Nelvana, Scholastic, and DreamWorks Classics. But why was the Ion-E.W. Scripps merger the event that put Qubo on the chopping block?
	+ The aforementioned merger also put Ion Plus and Shop Ion on the chopping block, which brings the question: Why is E.W. Scripps willing to shutter all Ion-related ventures save the main Ion channel itself?
* Why was *Pretty Cure* (*Futari wa Pretty Cure*, to be exact) never aired in much of the US when 4Kids had it (especially considering they had a Saturday-morning block of their own)? Canada and the UK had it via YTV and Pop Girl, and Nippon Golden Network aired the show with subtitles... in Hawaii only. Looks like it's time to hit Crunchyroll.
	+ That said, this wasn't the only time anime was planned for American TV but never aired. *Sgt. Frog* was planned for Nickelodeon (who knows why) until ADV went bust and Funimation decided against it, and *Glitter Force* was *also* planned for broadcast on Nickelodeon. You know how that turned out. Legal streaming claiming the rights aside, why did Nick turn down the latter anime, especially in the wake of its sister network airing a popular recut of *Dragon Ball Z*?
	+ Speaking of Toei Animation and broadcasting, why was the 4Kids dub of *Ojamajo Doremi* removed from the schedule just halfway through despite an entire season being dubbed? Granted, the US eventually got the rest of said season *and* it aired reruns on The CW in 2010, but still...
* Triple-subverted (yes, *triple-subverted*) with the GameStop short squeeze. When some hedge funds bet against GameStop, they figured the price would go down. Then people on Reddit noticed and thought, "Can we have the exact opposite happen?" So they did so, driving the price of GameStop *up*. Hedge funds began losing money, to the point where one such fund had to be *bailed out*. So they begin wondering "how could this happen?" and raising a lot of questions about the stock they shorted. The answer to their question is very obvious: investors caused a short squeeze of GameStop and other stocks.
* Jorel's Brother gets detention in one episode. Wouldn't raise a lot of questions in the United States, considering lots of American-produced works set in schools have detention episodes, but *Jorel's Brother* was produced in Brazil, where there's no such thing as detention in schools. Assuming the series is *set* in Brazil, why does the school Jorel's Brother go to implement detention?
* *Wave, Listen to Me!*: After Minare's Rage Over the Airwaves, how did she avoid getting arrested? Granted, her rant didn't go completely without consequences, but still.
* Three words, five syllables: ABC. *Turn On*. Who thought it was such a good idea to create this show, particularly in the 1960s when its premise was extremely frowned upon? There's a reason this got cancelled and condemned to a footnote in computer animation history.
