# WarpThatAesop.TheSimpsons: An interview with Lorne Michaels isn't considered sexually appealing. Churches usually have only one exit. Waffle batter + caramels + liquid smoke + a stick of butter = "Mmm, fattening". Random animals love to watch you shower. The average home has boxes of blasting caps and oily rags just lying around. Please do not offer the god a peanut. Jesus drove a blue car. When a fire starts to burn, there's a lesson you must learn: [[TheUnreveal something-something,]] then you'll see, you'll avoid catastrophe.
# Literature.{{Remnants}}: The Ancient Enemy, the source of the mutations, the Missing Five, just what the "Troika" are, Roger Dodger and D-Caf's dreams, how a Shipwright became Tamara's Baby (or maybe vice-versa), how Earth possibly reformed and civilization on it survived. Yeah, there's a lot of questions left hanging.
# Recap.GravityFallsS2E12ATaleOfTwoStans: Before Ford can reveal the mysteries of Gravity Falls to Dipper, Stan interferes and sends the kids to bed.
# Series.TheStarlost: MrExposition: Mu Lambda 165 helpfully explains the circumstances in the pilot episode once Devon works out how to use it, but due to missing 'playback cylinders' or damage from the unnamed 'accident' some things remain [[TheUnreveal TheUnreveal]], no doubt to be discovered in future unmade episodes.
# Characters.HousepetsDenizensOfHeaven: RiddleForTheAges: An actual riddle in-universe... granted, it's a riddle created by Pete himself: What is Pete's actual name and how is it pronounced and spelled? While raiding the temple, they find this riddle set-up like the one from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. [[TheUnreveal Tarot simply]] bypasses it by flying everyone over the pit.
# YMMV.PokemonGoldAndSilver: NightmareFuel: The opening in Crystal might just be the biggest Mind Screw in the franchise before the Arceus event in the remakes. The Last Note Nightmare, dramatically setting up The Reveal [[TheUnreveal that never happens,]] and given that there's still no Mind Screwdriver to date despite the remakes, it's unlikely there will ever be one.
# Characters.PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull: Despite some Dex entries making a big deal about Wobbuffet being protective of their tails, even going so far as to suggest that this means there's some secret about said tails, the secret in question has never been revealed. Common fan speculation is that the tail is actually the true Pokémon, with the blue "body" being just a decoy, but this has not been confirmed.
# Characters.ArrowverseCentralCityIndependentCriminals: Why exactly is he on Oliver Queen's hit-list was not brought-up in his debut episode, which ironically also featured an important Crossover to Starling City. Considering he dies in his second appearance we're unlikely to find out too.
# Characters.CounterSideAlliesIToQ: By the end of "The Weak and the Strong", it's never explicitly stated whether the cause of her home burning down was her own awakening to her powers or the Matchmaker, but Minwoo believes that it's better that way. Episode 9.5 confirms that it's a mix of both: the fire was Yuri's, but the Matchmaker targeting her dad that night triggered it. The only reason she survived her own flames is the Mansion Master spiking her drink earlier that night when she was spending time with her family in [=ARC-KS1.=]
# Characters.{{Kiff}}: NoodleIncident: In "Principal Dance Socks", it's revealed that she was apparently involved in some sort of incident between her and Principal Swan. Despite Kiff, and later Renée, inquiring about said incident, [[TheUnreveal we don't get a proper answer]].
# Characters.WanderOverYonder: OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He holds a conversation with himself in "The Greater Hater" where he asks what kind of name "Wander" is and his "reply" seems to be [[TheUnreveal cut off]] in the middle of saying it's not his real name. It's eventually revealed that he once went by "Tumbleweed", though this is likely yet ANOTHER alias. The implication here is that Wander has been through many many names, though his real name remains unknown.
# TearJerker.EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow: As this blog post details, there was a deleted scene showing the Eds sitting around their jar of fireflies and each of them confessing a secret. Ed would have admitted that he sometimes thinks Edd and Eddy are only his friends because their names are the same, and he knows that people underestimate him because of his simple-mindedness. Edd would have explained the infamous "dodgeball incident" from his past, which would have possibly tied into [[TheUnreveal what's under his hat]]. And Eddy? He would have told Ed and Edd more (false) stories about his brother, unable to bring himself to reveal the truth to them.
# Characters.{{Nefarious}}: Played for Laughs. A good chunk of The Scorpion is characters puzzling over who the heck the new Killjoy could be, with there being a strong build-up to Crow unmasking him. In the end Crow fails, because Killjoy wisely boobytrapped his helmet, Dr. Cackle doesn't tell the characters anything about Killjoy's true identity aside from him being "a lost soul" who "needed a second chance" and the plot-line concludes with Killjoy just flying off with no one the wiser about his identity or motives. Crow: Noooo!! Augh!! It's so unsatisfying!
# VideoGame.YoungJusticeLegacy: Whatever Klarion (and by extension the Light) intended to do with Tiamat. He denies to Nightwing that he wants to use it to destroy the world but refuses to give further details.
# ComicBook.MsMarvelTheNewMutant: Despite it being set up, when the opportunity to reveal what Kamala’s mutant power is, she chooses not to due to the potential danger.
# Film.TheCaptain: We never find out what happened to the owner of the uniform stolen by Herold.
# Characters.TheSmurfsVillains: Although he does lower his hood, on occasion, the audience only gets to see the back of his head. Note that this is a good thing. Other characters that actually see his face are immediately struck with uncontrollable terror, regardless of personal bravery, with the sole exception of Clockwork Smurf who, while disgusted, was immune thanks to his heart of gold.
# Recap.RugratsS1E3AtTheMoviesSlumberParty: MeltingFilmEffect: The babies' shenanigans in the cinema's projection room leads to the Dummi Bears: The Land Without Smiles film getting caught in it's projector and burning right at an important plot point. Worthy of note are the wacky bubble-like noises the film's soundtrack makes as it melts. Squeaky Bear: I know you're all wondering if little Shauna is going to pull through... (the others look aghast) Oh well... (warps a bit) [=[[TheUnreveal lookslikelittleShauna]],=] uh... (makes bubbling noises)
# Characters.Robin2021: DramaticUnmask: He shows his face to Rose Wilson during issue #11, but [[TheUnreveal his face is turned away from the reader]], meaning only Rose can see him. It does reveal he has white hair.
# Characters.FireEmblemAwakeningSecondGeneration: Her age. She tells female Morgan in their Harvest Scramble conversations, and Morgan confirms for us that Nah's not much younger or older than she is, but the player never hears the actual number. This is probably meant to keep Morgan's age a secret as well as Nah's (especially if Morgan is a fellow manakete herself).Though in Fire Emblem there are very, very few characters without a Vague Age so it doesn't stand out too much.
# Characters.DrakeAndJosh: Her name and job were never revealed in the series. Actually invoked in the final episode; a scene revealing that her name was Audrey and she owned a catering business was filmed, but Dan Schneider ultimately cut it in editing, deciding that it would be funnier to "keep the bit going for eternity".
# Recap.FreshOffTheBoatS2E20HiMyNameIs: We're never shown what name Evan chooses...at least, not legibly.

# WarpThatAesop.TheSimpsons: An interview with Lorne Michaels isn't considered sexually appealing. Churches usually have only Characters.DragonBallUniverse6: GeniusBruiser: A doctor who is also one exit. Waffle batter + caramels + liquid smoke + a stick of butter = "Mmm, fattening". Random animals love the 10 most powerful beings in his universe (or at least one of the 10 most powerful beings that could be found in his universe within the 48 hours before the tournament). He never gets to watch you shower. The show his power though, thanks to Prum, Hamira, and Vegeta. Episode 106 implies that he might not really be an actual doctor though, as he states that his ([[TheUnreveal unrevealed]]) technique is supposed to show people why they call him Doctor Rota.
# Webcomic.WhiteDarkLife: When asked about his parents, Matt simply says they were
average home has boxes of blasting caps people and oily rags just lying around. Please that he doesn't remember their address. Cosmo proceeds to yell about how annoying it is that they didn't learn anything.
# Manga.{{Trigun}}: There are many things in this series that the reader/viewer simply never learns.What exactly were Rem's final words to Vash? Added lines in the dubs aside, we'll never know. Why and how
do Autonomous Plants (Vash, Knives, Tessla, Chronica, etc.) exist? It's never explained. Indeed, their existence is a borderline Hand Wave. Anything goes…
# Characters.GranblueFantasyOther: While "000" explains why he, Lucifer and Lucilius all look alike and reveals his true identity as well as how the Granblue Fantasy world apparently came to be, there are still a lot of things left up in the air. The introduction of Helel ben Shalem seems to imply that these questions will be touched upon in the future.
# Webcomic.BrotherComplex: Regarding Megan's return in the Distant Finale, and Jack's reaction, did she or did she
not offer take the god a peanut. Jesus drove a blue car. When a fire starts to burn, there's a lesson you must learn: serum after all like Mimi and Eclaire have? Though various artworks by the author on their Deviantart page do show Megan with the same large proportions.
# Characters.ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaTheGang: BigScrewedUpFamily: Frank is Dennis and Dee's legal father, and (until Season 15) is
[[TheUnreveal something-something,]] then you'll see, you'll avoid catastrophe.
possibly]] Charlie's biological father; all four of them are disgusting, awful people. Dennis and Dee's mother also manages to surpass the four of them in sheer despicableness, while Charlie's mother displays many of the same psychoses that he does. Outside of immediate relatives, Dennis and Dee's grandfather was a Nazi and their cousin is an emotionally-stunted weirdo. And don't even get us started on Charlie's uncle Jack... Mac's family is just as messed up, but not quite as big and tangled as the rest of the Gang's are.
# Fanfic.NewVegasSheasonsStory: Before assaulting the Enclave moon base, Sheason and Tuera both casually reveal the unusual nature of their names.Sheason is actually Jason. His adoptive father growing up was an old caravaner, who was also missing all his front teeth. He never could pronounce it correctly, and the name stuck.
# Characters.DeadByDaylightSurvivorsPart2: Neither Jonah nor the player ever learned who sent him the card with the mysterious numbers.
# Characters.TheSoulmateTimeline: While Homura has seen her Witch form in past timelines and Hitomi does hear it talk to her in chapter 13, ultimately what sort of Witch Hitomi would become is unseen and unspecified.
# Recap.TheLoudHouseS4E11TailsOfWoeLastLoudOnEarth: The password to Lisa's underground bunker is revealed to be her birthday, but the specific date is not revealed.
# SoundEffectBleep.AnimeAndManga: Then what about the shot where the water ISN'T dripping, and Lelouch says her name again? In the dub, that was pulled off with a mute, but Fridge Logic dictates that at that point, The Un-Reveal is just getting pretentious.
# Series.RemingtonSteele: HisNameIs: In the series finale, Steele discovers that his longtime mentor, Daniel Chalmers, is also his father. Chalmers dies just as Steele is asking him, "What is my real name?" See [[TheUnreveal The Unreveal]].
# Webcomic.{{Goblins}}: Kore took his helmet off?! We'll finally get to see what the true face of evil is... oh, guess not.
# Series.TripForBiscuits: Bajo: Just how did your brain wind up in fishtank anyw— Violet: [immediately changing the subject] Could ya? Could you get me outside?
# WesternAnimation.StarWarsResistance: Neither Vonreg or Pyre are shown unmasked before their deaths.
# Series.TheStarlost: MrExposition: Mu Lambda 165 helpfully explains the circumstances in the pilot episode once Devon works out how to use it, but due to missing 'playback cylinders' or damage from the unnamed 'accident' some things remain [[TheUnreveal The Unreveal]], no doubt to be discovered in future unmade episodes.
# YMMV.{{Slipknot}}: HarsherInHindsight: Clown admitted that one of the reasons he dislikes the name of All Hope Is Gone was because it was unintentional foreshadowing of bassist Paul Gray's drug-induced death two years after it was released. The music video for "Before I Forget," which features unmasked ([[TheUnreveal but obscured]]) members playing near their masks hung up. Paul Gray and Joey Jordison's masks are hung up together, unintentionally foreshadowing them being the first two band members to pass away, in 2010 and 2021 respectively.
# ComicBook.AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise: TheReveal: Zuko's final conversation with his father Ozai (which was cut off halfway after Zuko asked where his mother was) is shown in full here. [[TheUnreveal Ozai taunts Zuko by answering]] nothing about Ursa.
# Series.MyTwoDads: As mentioned above, Nicole got DNA tested but chose not to view the results, the viewers never did find out who was her biological father, and apparently there was never any plans to reveal it.
# Webcomic.GingersBread: When it looks like we'll finally see what the other side of Ginger's face looks like in a photo, it's obscured by her father's finger in the shot.
# Recap.PokemonS25E47ASquadsWorthOfPassion: In-Universe, Ash, Misty, and Brock can't figure out why Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle got into a fight, but they decide it doesn't matter at the end since they made up.
# Literature.{{Remnants}}: TheMazeRunner: Although the majority of Gladers choose to have their memories restored in The Ancient Enemy, the source Death Cure, we only learn a handful of the mutations, the Missing Five, just what the "Troika" are, Roger Dodger and D-Caf's dreams, how a Shipwright became Tamara's Baby (or maybe vice-versa), how Earth possibly reformed and civilization on it survived. Yeah, there's a lot of questions left hanging.
# Recap.GravityFallsS2E12ATaleOfTwoStans: Before Ford can reveal the mysteries of Gravity Falls to Dipper, Stan interferes and sends the kids to bed.
# Series.TheStarlost: MrExposition: Mu Lambda 165 helpfully explains the circumstances
their birth names in the pilot episode once Devon works out how process, and their past lives before the Tests are mostly a mystery. Notably, since Newt and Minho refuse to use it, have their memories restored, their real names are forever a mystery. (Thomas also refuses to have his memories restored, but due to missing 'playback cylinders' or damage from the unnamed 'accident' some things remain [[TheUnreveal TheUnreveal]], no doubt to be discovered in future unmade episodes.
The Fever Code reveals that his real name is Stephen.)
# Characters.HousepetsDenizensOfHeaven: RiddleForTheAges: An actual riddle in-universe... granted, it's a riddle created by Pete himself: What is Pete's actual name and how is it pronounced and spelled? While raiding MapleStoryTwo: For his fourth job advancement, he consults the temple, they find this riddle set-up like the one from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. [[TheUnreveal Tarot simply]] bypasses it by flying everyone over the pit.

# Characters.ArrowverseCentralCityIndependentCriminals: Why exactly is
see if he on Oliver Queen's hit-list was not brought-up in his debut episode, which ironically also featured an important Crossover to Starling City. Considering he dies in his second appearance we're unlikely to find out too.

# Recap.RugratsS1E3AtTheMoviesSlumberParty: MeltingFilmEffect: CommunityS6E10BasicRVRepairAndPalmistry: "The reason why I'm covered in feathers is-" cut to The babies' shenanigans in the cinema's projection room leads to the Dummi Bears: The Land Without Smiles film getting caught in it's projector and burning right at an important plot point. Worthy of note are the wacky bubble-like noises the film's soundtrack makes as it melts. Squeaky Bear: I know you're all wondering if little Shauna is going to pull through...

# VideoGame.Roadwar2000: It is never revealed what nationality the Invaders are or exactly why they hate America so much. Even in a bizarre encounter where you end up taking a plane to a deserted Invader base and discovering their plans to hunt down your gang with "death squads", these questions remain a mystery.
# Webcomic.ObamasHiddenInfoObjects: Parodied. We don't get to see or hear what's inside the file for Obama's last name when the season's winner opened it but it's obviously a joke as Obama is his last name.
# Literature.ThePact: One of the flashback scenes has Emily sending a note to Chris when they're children, but it gets stuck in a tree and they aren't able to get it out. Chris does finally get it out at the end of the novel, but by that point, it's aged so much that it's completely unreadable.
# Recap.StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E05TheAssignment: O'Brien asks why the entity has possessed Keiko rather than O'Brien himself. It's about to tell him when Bashir arrives, interrupting them. The topic doesn't come up again.
# Recap.OnePieceEggheadArc: The arc confirms that the dream shared by Roger and Luffy is not about being the Pirate King, but what comes after it. Even then the scene cuts away yet again as Luffy tells his crewmates about it, with most of them reacting in shock and remarking Luffy's dream is such an absurd idea. Whatever it is, he claims that Shanks, Ace, and Sabo laughed after hearing about it as well. The Five Elder Stars begin to unleash their powers when Sabo confronts them, but they are framed in shadow like Imu as they do so and are not seen in action before Sabo manages to get away. That being said, Saturn's powers are shown in Chapter 1094. Some of the God Valley incident is shown from Kuma's perspective as he uses his newly acquired powers to save people from a genocide festival. What Rocks and his crew were after in that island and the reason they clashed against Roger and lost are still left a mystery.

# Literature.TheChroniclesOfPrydain: There are two characters whose origins and true nature are deliberately left unclear: Taran and Arawn. We never learn who Taran's biological parents are. And we never learn who/what Arawn really is. After he's killed, he reverts to his true form which ends up lying face down on the floor, but before anyone can go near him, his fortress starts to crumble and everyone has to split.Though with Taran, the fact that it's not revealed, and in fact probably can't be revealed, is part of the point. He's not just the son of any two people, but all of Prydain, noble and common alike.
# Recap.HowIMetYourMotherS9E16HowYourMotherMetMe: The Reveal of the mother's name will not happen until the Grand Finale itself. Also, how exactly the mother's first boyfriend died was never stated.
# Recap.TheOwlHouseS2E20CloudsOnTheHorizon: Downplayed, but Luz has finally carved her Palisman in the shape of... an egg. Rather than this being the final form of her Palisman, she carved it as such so it could choose what it wants to be once it hatches.
# ComicBook.GiantSizeXMen: Magik catches Warlock, who's been pretending to be part of Cypher's arm for whatever reason, and asks him what he's doing. Warlock is about to explain, and then gets cut off.

# Recap.SpartacusBloodAndSandS1E7GreatAndUnfortunateThings: Spartacus is about to tell Sura his real name, but she says she already knows it.
# Recap.NCISS04E09: It's never explained how Ducky was able to establish the time of death of the goldfish, since, being cold-blooded, the liver-probe method used with humans and other mammals would be useless. Madison and Tate each finger the other as the one who actually stabbed Jeff and planted Sara's cell phone on his body; it is never revealed which of them actually did it, but Gibbs doesn't care, since they were both in the plot up to their necks.
# Recap.LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E19Rufus: It's never mentioned why Gantu's unavailable in this episode resulting in Hamsterviel having to hire Drakken to kidnap Stitch instead.
# Memes.NeonGenesisEvangelion: "Until now, your actions were exemplary... I did love you."
# Characters.TheWickedAndTheDivine: We don't learn the fourth and final rule (until later), just that she gave it.The Reveal: The 4th Rule: If Persephone gives birth, the game is over and Ananke is taken by the darkness. However, she says this is a lie to fool Ananke.

Mikaboshi and the Otherworldly Envoy eventually reveal everything to her, albeit the former is [[TheUnreveal TheUnreveal]] as it's entirely off-screen.
# WesternAnimation.MuchaLucha: Buena Girl's face in "Not So Buena Girl".
# VideoGame.BladeRunner1997: TomatoInTheMirror: The player may or may not be a replicant themselves. [[TheUnreveal Or they might never receive a straight answer to the question if they are or aren't one.]]
# Recap.ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS07E12TheHighSchoolReunionPart1: The Waitress's real name isn't revealed, as the event organizers didn't make a nametag for her. Word of God says it's not "Nicki Potnick", the nametag Frank stole.
# Characters.SkulTheHeroSlayer: He never finds out that Skul is his son. The Witch tries to tell him after the Emperor's defeat, but Skul stops her, believing its better that his father doesn't know he's become a Demon.
# Recap.TitansS2E8Jericho: Despite the flashbacks showing his Origin Story, how Slade loses his eye is never shown or mentioned.
# ComicBook.TheSuperiorFoesOfSpiderMan: The portrait of Doctor Doom's true face is always blocked off by something in the environment.
# Recap.MontyPythonsFlyingCircusS1E1: We never learn what exactly the Funniest Joke in the World is. Though considering how many people it killed, that’s probably for the best.
# Recap.YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeriesS4E11RightInTheFeels: Tea: And I dreamed that the show actually explained how we survived that train crash. Yami: How did it go down in your dream? Tea: Well, you see, what happened was in the last second— Skye the Wolf attacks her Yami: Egyptian Jesus!
# Awesome.NickBertke: The "Splurgenshitter" video. There's nothing that will establish Nick's character better than him dancing around in a Darth Vader mask for 2 minutes.Even more awesome is the final shot, where Nick takes off his mask [[TheUnreveal but all we see is his silhouette]]. A very well-handled shot.
# Funny.SpiceAndWolf: The last episode of season one, Holo demands to know whose name Lawrence called out, her's or Girl of the Arc Nora the Shepherdess. Seeing that it's almost the top of the hour, and they're standing right underneath a bell tower, [[TheUnreveal he times his answer with the sound of the ringing bells]]. For the next minute all other sounds are drowned out, and we are treated with the normally-calm Holo in a fit of RAGE, yelling at Lawrence while he acts as though nothing unusual is going on. Matter-of-fact, he even does the "What? Can't hear you!" routine, which infuriates her even more, clearly having her shout [="IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou!"=] as she pounds his chest.Even funnier in the manga - he deliberately sneezes to answer her question. The followup above is still the same. "I'm pretty sure I called your name... because your name is a little shorter than hers is."
# VideoGame.NierAutomata: After the boss fight in the desert with the centipede-like Machine, A2 receives a chunk of 2B's memories in hacking space, where the Commander tells her that "normally you'd be known as...[[TheUnreveal (static interference)]], but from now on we'll be calling you 2B. This is the first direct clue the game gives you that 2B isn't her original designation.
# Film.HalloweenKills: FailedASpotCheck: When news first comes in of the killings, Tommy's in the bar when the TV shows Michael's face ([[TheUnreveal blurred out in the background, of course]]), but he's lost in his inner thoughts. Later, one of the reasons things escalate so badly in the hospital is because Tommy doesn't know what Michael looks like under the mask, leading to the wrongful death of the other mental patient when Tommy doesn't listen to Laurie and Karen trying to tell him it's not Michael.
# Theatre.MammaMia: WhosYourDaddy: The whole plot. Sophie trying to find out who her father is before her wedding day. [[TheUnreveal Sophie eventually decides she doesn't care]], though Word of God is that the father is Bill. Supported in-universe by his statement that the money Donna inherited from Bill's aunt "stayed in the family", although how his aunt could have known that when Donna didn't is anyone's guess.It's possible that Sophie has some distinctive family traits she inherited that Donna wasn't aware of because Bill's Aunt was the only family member of his that she had met, and that the Aunt was married into the family, so didn't look like the rest of them. The Aunt worked it out because she did know what all the rest of the family looked like, and saw that Sophie looked similar.

# Literature.TheSpiderwickChronicles: The kids wonder at a few points why so many fay want the field guide so bad, and why Mulgarath in particular needs it to Take Over the World.

It's also why Mulgarath needs it to ensure his "enslave all other fay and mortals alike" scheme.

# Creator.ShinyaMurata: FlashStep: One antagonist in Jackals had this "Brand Nero" Shadow Walker skill for getting in people's blind spots that is countered by an Offhand Backhand called "Killing Bite". This is alluded to in both Arachnid and Caterpillar, where everyone keeps teleporting behind each other and Kabutomushi, who fights a Brand Nero user, can perform the Killing Bite as a direct Continuity Nod. Killing Bites appears named after that scene, but uses bait-and-switches on call backs to it — the anti-heroine who keeps prattling about "what Killing Bites is" is prevented from countering a flash step from Taiga by another opponent; and later when Taiga does get countered and soundly defeated, [[TheUnreveal it is by a mysterious antagonist offscreen]].

It is never explained why Phil was wearing revealed who put the bomb in Sonny's car. It is heavily implied that Sonny's killer did it, in an early attempt to avenge his bathrobe father.

# Characters.PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull: Despite some Dex entries making a big deal about Wobbuffet being protective of their tails, even going so far as to suggest that this means there's some secret about said tails, the secret in question has never been revealed.

Edd would have explained the infamous "dodgeball incident" from his past, which would have possibly tied into [[TheUnreveal what's under his hat]]. And Eddy?

# Characters.FireEmblemAwakeningSecondGeneration: Her age. She tells female Morgan in their Harvest Scramble conversations, and Morgan confirms for us that Nah's not much younger or older than she is, but the player never hears the actual number. This is probably meant to keep Morgan's age a secret as well as Nah's (especially if Morgan is a fellow manakete herself).Though in Fire Emblem there are very, very few characters without a Vague Age so it doesn't stand out too much.
# Characters.DrakeAndJosh: Her name and job were never revealed in the series.

# Recap.OnePieceEggheadArc: The arc confirms that the dream shared by Roger and Luffy is not about being the Pirate King, but what comes after it. Even then the scene cuts away yet again as Luffy tells his crewmates about it, with most of them reacting in shock and remarking Luffy's dream is such an absurd idea. Whatever it is, he claims that Shanks, Ace, and Sabo laughed after hearing about it as well. The Five Elder Stars begin to unleash their powers when Sabo confronts them, but they are framed in shadow like Imu as they do so and are not seen in action before Sabo manages to get away. That being said, Saturn's powers are shown in Chapter 1094. Some of the God Valley incident is shown from Kuma's perspective as he uses his newly acquired powers to save people from a genocide festival. What Rocks and his crew were after in that island and the reason they clashed against Roger and lost are still left a mystery.

# Recap.MontyPythonsFlyingCircusS1E1: We never learn what exactly the Funniest Joke in the World is. Though considering how many people it killed, that’s probably for the best.
# Recap.YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeriesS4E11RightInTheFeels: Tea: And I dreamed that the show actually explained how we survived that train crash. Yami: How did it go down in your dream? Tea: Well, you see, what happened was in the last second— Skye the Wolf attacks her Yami: Egyptian Jesus!
# Awesome.NickBertke: The "Splurgenshitter" video. There's nothing that will establish Nick's character better than him dancing around in a Darth Vader mask for 2 minutes.Even more awesome is the final shot, where Nick takes off his mask [[TheUnreveal but all we see is his silhouette]]. A very well-handled shot.
# Funny.SpiceAndWolf: The last episode of season one, Holo demands to know whose name Lawrence called out, her's or Girl of the Arc Nora the Shepherdess. Seeing that it's almost the top of the hour, and they're standing right underneath a bell tower, [[TheUnreveal he times his answer with the sound of the ringing bells]]. For the next minute all other sounds are drowned out, and we are treated with the normally-calm Holo in a fit of RAGE, yelling at Lawrence while he acts as though nothing unusual is going on. Matter-of-fact, he even does the "What? Can't hear you!" routine, which infuriates her even more, clearly having her shout [="IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou!"=] as she pounds his chest.Even funnier in the manga - he deliberately sneezes to answer her question. The followup above is still the same. "I'm pretty sure I called your name... because your name is a little shorter than hers is."
# VideoGame.NierAutomata: After the boss fight in the desert with the centipede-like Machine, A2 receives a chunk of 2B's memories in hacking space, where the Commander tells her that "normally you'd be known as...[[TheUnreveal (static interference)]], but from now on we'll be calling you 2B. This is the first direct clue the game gives you that 2B isn't her original designation.
# Film.HalloweenKills: FailedASpotCheck: When news first comes in of the killings, Tommy's in the bar when the TV shows Michael's face ([[TheUnreveal blurred out in the background, of course]]), but he's lost in his inner thoughts. Later, one of the reasons things escalate so badly in the hospital is because Tommy doesn't know what Michael looks like under the mask, leading to the wrongful death of the other mental patient when Tommy doesn't listen to Laurie and Karen trying to tell him it's not Michael.
# Theatre.MammaMia: WhosYourDaddy: The whole plot. Sophie trying to find out who her father is before her wedding day. [[TheUnreveal Sophie eventually decides she doesn't care]], though Word of God is that the father is Bill. Supported in-universe by his statement that the money Donna inherited from Bill's aunt "stayed in the family", although how his aunt could have known that when Donna didn't is anyone's guess.It's possible that Sophie has some distinctive family traits she inherited that Donna wasn't aware of because Bill's Aunt was the only family member of his that she had met, and that the Aunt was married into the family, so didn't look like the rest of them. The Aunt worked it out because she did know what all the rest of the family looked like, and saw that Sophie looked similar.
# Manga.KOn: In episode 3 of the second season, Sawako's attempts to look younger "goes too far", which results in her wearing a face mask and sunglasses to school. She shows her face to Yui and Ritsu, but viewer only sees the back of her head.
# VideoGame.DisgaeaRPG: MaliciousMisnaming: Etna does it twice: she calls the Villain Team-Up the "Final Boss Squad" instead of whatever name they actually came up with, and she refuses to let Fake Zenon [[TheUnreveal reveal his true name]].
# Webcomic.SomethingPositive: Davan: He's a 30+ year old pudding cat who can travel through drains but this is where your ability to believe is gonna be taxed? [= PeeJee:=] Even so, there's a point where reality dictates— Davan: How'd that woman in your job die again? note A Canadian Trapdoor Alligator burst out of the air-conditioning vent and ate her. [= PeeJee:=] This ice cream could use sprinkles.
# Literature.TheSpiderwickChronicles: The kids wonder at a few points why so many fay want the field guide so bad, and why Mulgarath in particular needs it to Take Over the World. They never really find out why by the end. A Lost Chapter reveals that while most fay know about their own strengths and weaknesses, they don't know much about each other's. However, since the fay often fight for dominance among each other, many would literally kill for that book. It's also why Mulgarath needs it to ensure his "enslave all other fay and mortals alike" scheme.
# Recap.AgentsOfSHIELDS7E01TheNewDeal: Jemma is evasive about how much time she's spent apart from the team, only that it's been "a while".
# QuestionableContent.TropesEToH: ForgedMessage: Played for Laughs in this guest strip, which might double as [[TheUnreveal TheUnreveal]] and definitely doubles as a parody of Hostess Fruit Pies ads. (You'd probably need to have some context of QC history to that point to understand it. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line at the end that makes it fall into this trope.)
# Creator.ShinyaMurata: FlashStep: One antagonist in Jackals had this "Brand Nero" Shadow Walker skill for getting in people's blind spots that is countered by an Offhand Backhand called "Killing Bite". This is alluded to in both Arachnid and Caterpillar, where everyone keeps teleporting behind each other and Kabutomushi, who fights a Brand Nero user, can perform the Killing Bite as a direct Continuity Nod. Killing Bites appears named after that scene, but uses bait-and-switches on call backs to it — the anti-heroine who keeps prattling about "what Killing Bites is" is prevented from countering a flash step from Taiga by another opponent; and later when Taiga does get countered and soundly defeated, [[TheUnreveal it is by a mysterious antagonist offscreen]].
# Recap.TheBetrayedSorceress: Whatever Slive intended to inflict to Gandalf before the Baalds attacked them is left unknown.
# WebVideo.BestOfTheWorst: Invoked for Ninja III: The Domination. Rich: Oh my God it's her - we all knew that!
# Characters.PlusAnima: We don't see his Anima or the mark that comes with it, but we do see its shadow—it doesn't seem pleasant.
# Film.GroundhogDay: The audience never finds out how Phil got trapped in the time loop. He blames the groundhog at one point, but that was after a good deal of Sanity Slippage and killing it didn't break the loop anyway. Also, it is never explained why Phil was wearing his bathrobe in the diner when he finally told Rita all about his conundrum.
# Characters.YourTurnToDieGameParticipants: We never find out what her "unique info" for the survivors was supposed to be, because she forgot what it was.
# Recap.TeenTitansS5E9RevvedUp: It's never revealed what Robin's "most prized possession" is. Epileptic Trees abound.
# ComicBook.AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise: TheReveal: Zuko's final conversation with his father Ozai (which was cut off halfway after Zuko asked where his mother was) is shown in full here. [[TheUnreveal Ozai taunts Zuko by answering]] nothing about Ursa.
# Recap.JusticeLeagueS2E24To26Starcrossed: The outcome of the League's vote on Shayera's dismissal. However, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Superman's votes are either easily inferred or clearly stated, as was John’s non-vote. This only leaves the knowledge that Batman and J'onn voted opposite ways, though their votes can somewhat be inferred, as well. The final vote count won't be confirmed until "Wake the Dead".
# VideoGame.NewCalifornia: Through terminal entries you can find that the Father was once a Nightkin named Mark, and Word of God states your blood sample originated from a random blood splatter found on the floor at Mariposa, leaving your true identity a mystery.
# Film.CaptainMarvel2019: Near the beginning of the film, Carol and Yon-Rogg emphasize how no-one has seen the true form of the Supreme Intelligence. By the end of the film, that's still the case (probably because it would be tough to show this in live-action and not have it look silly).
# Recap.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E11PartyPooped: We never do see what Yakyakistan is like beyond its gate.
# Recap.PhineasAndFerbWheresPerryPartOne: When Monogram sees a box of straws, it gives him an idea, not like the one he had about the— But it cuts to the next scene before we find out what his bad idea was.
# VideoGame.JimmyAndThePulsatingMass: MacGuffin: =] The Secret Knowledge, which holds the power to defeat The Pulsating Mass and what you spend the last third of the game chasing around. For extra "generic macguffin" points, you [[TheUnreveal never even figure out]] what exactly the instructions to defeat The Pulsating Mass are or what special characteristics it holds.
# Characters.TheHouseOfCrazinessOriginal: After so long one thing is learned about Shady... and it still leads to more questions. In this page, he is revealed in panel 17 to be a mutt of many different nationalities and races. In [1], he is revealed to have met gods before and has known of the Knights of Faith.
# Characters.GoodOmens2019: AscendedExtra: While Satan does prepare to make an appearance (with an earthquake warning of his arrival) in the book, Adam simply prevents his arrival with a wave of his hand, and thus [[TheUnreveal it's never revealed what Satan actually looks like]]. Here, Satan actually shows up in person and is able to exchange words with Adam before Adam sends him away.
# Recap.CowboyBebopSession20PierrotLeFou: For Spike. Jet and Ed spend the episode uncovering Mad Pierrot's true identity and background story before finally attempting to relay it to Spike. But at this point Pierrot is dead, and so Spike no longer cares who or what he is and declines to find out.
# Characters.CitadelOfTheHeartUnova: Her mysterious importance is never truly elaborated on when she finally appears in-person, which showcases her to be much more mundane, but otherwise a very strong trainer nevertheless.
# Characters.WarframeGrineer: We never see what the Queens looked like initially.
# GoMadFromTheRevelation.{{Literature}}: Over conceits of this sort the poor gentleman lost his wits, and used to lie awake striving to understand them and worm the meaning out of them; what Aristotle himself [[TheUnreveal could not have made out or extracted had he come to life again for that special purpose.]]
# Film.BlastFromThePast: Calvin asks that Helen never learn the truth that there was no nuclear war, since... well, judging that she's become an alcoholic after being locked in a shelter for thirty years for no reason, it's clear that she'd never forgive him.
# Film.{{Himala}}: Subverted. While it is not known who exactly is Elsa's killer and why he had done it, he is seen being beaten up by several men in response to his actions.
# ComicBook.{{Garulfo}}: Today, the Black Knight will show you his face.
# Characters.SidMeiersAlphaCentauri: TheStarscream: Back when the Unity launched, she used a few connections to get some of her fellow survivalists assigned to the vessel. Once the Unity arrived over Planet, she attempted a coup to take control of the ship, which ultimately fragmented the crew into the different splinter factions present at the start of the game. However, she did not actually assassinate Captain Garland. The real culprit [[TheUnreveal is never revealed]].
# Characters.RWBYAdamTaurus: In the Volume 6 Character Short, Adam is sometimes shown not wearing his mask. One scene consists of the camera focusing low down his body on the hand that's holding the mask. As he lifts his hand to put on his mask, the camera follows his hand up to his body and looks as though it's going to reach his exposed face and reveal for the first time what his eyes look like behind the mask. However, he manages to slip the mask on just before the camera reaches his face.
# VideoGame.BluePlanet: Just before Elder Taudigani could tell Laporte the secret of the transmission she received from the Vasudans, GTVA stealth fighters appear out of nowhere and destroy her shuttle.
# Literature.WhomGodsWouldDestroy: UnreliableNarrator: as expected for a tale proposing to piece together a secret history from first-person and second-hand accounts, there are multiple instances of misinterpretations, Alternate Character Interpretation, and people believing things that are flat out wrong or written Through the Eyes of Madness. Also, the reliance on such sources leads to many cases of [[TheUnreveal TheUnreveal]], That Was the Last Entry, and What Happened to the Mouse?.
# Characters.WarhammerDarkElves: No one sees his face and lives.
# Recap.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E2PrincessTwilightSparklePart2: We never find out how Celestia and Luna learned of the Tree of Harmony, where it came from, or why their cutie marks are on it. The contents of the box that they receive at the end of the episode are probably not going to be revealed until the end of the season.
# Literature.DonQuixote: GoMadFromTheRevelation: Inverted: Don Quixote goes mad trying to make sense of the Purple Prose that plagued the chivalry books he has read, but [[TheUnreveal there never was any reveal]] because even Aristotle could not have made sense of it.
# Characters.BrawlStarsTanks: MaskedLuchador: His main inspiration. He even follows the tradition of never being seen without his mask. All of his skins are masked, and the one time he takes his mask off, [[TheUnreveal his face is blurred out]].
# Literature.EmilyBonesCityOfGhosts: we never learn how the dead are created.Also we don't learn if Emily can talk to Sophie in her ghost form.
