I have to agree. This is the problem with having a mere 12 episode series. You have to abridge a lot of things. The original material was 200 pages in Microsoft Word, according to Kodaka, and that isn't the scripts. That has to be adapted into a 24-episode anime. A lot of things will be cut out. Who knows, there might be a special 12th episode explaining that, I dunno.

People wanted to see DR/Zero, and while we did see some of it in the form of cameos and Junko's outfit in Episode 11 (same as in her Zero outfit), animating Zero was simply unnecessary for them because it adds nothing to the overall plot. It'll jsut be pure filler, which they dont have any time for.

I think they might explain AI Chiaki's creation soon, since that's the biggest question for me personally. The others are just personal wishes. (Although SIde: Future's got a lot to wrap up in one episode, tbh.)
