The mother is the one that dies for example FMAB , hunter x hunter, attack on Titan, and bleach. My bad if you don't understand what I'm trying to say.It's been something that's on my mind and yeah I noticed it a lot. Is there like a reason for this. Btw sorry if this is wrong section but I think it's right.

i think its because they want the father to be badass or something.

and i think in OP the Ace's father dies first before the mother.

The mother in anime represents a symbol of stability, love and support, a real sense of comfort and growth for a child .

I believe kill her off is a mark of character development and to show said character hardships and strength. It removes the character comfort zone and throw them into a pit, In which the character holds on to a piece or fragment of her until being broke or truly moving on from the scared situation.

KANEKI from Tokyo ghoul and etc. are prime examples of this.

I hope I enlightened you a bit.:)
