I'd argue Shinnosuke's dad was done better, as it was established rather early on that his dad's death was Shinnosuke's main motivation for becoming a police officer. Takeru's mother has been rather insignificant, but hinted at. Considering his dad was brought up in the movie and the 14th or so episode, in which his goal was to reset Takeru's timer because Takeru thought wasting 40 days inbetween 2 episodes is inconsequential
