The most canon one is [[Opposites Attract Revenge|Greece —> Japan <— Turkey]], possibly leaning towards [[Ship Tease|Greece <—> Japan]] [[Hopeless Suitor|<— Turkey]], but [[Fanon]] also likes [[Betty and Veronica|Japan —> Greece <— Turkey]] and occasionally [[One True Threesome|Turkey <—> Japan <—> Greece]].

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Greece and Turkey, [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|believe it]] [[Arch Enemy|or not]], might actually fit this too, going by their latest character profiles which state that even though they're constantly fighting each other, Greece sometimes [[Go-Karting With Bowser|goes shopping in Turkey's malls]].

** In one strip, Turkey is giving Greece a Turkish Bath to "bully" him and while Greece is loudly voicing how much he dislikes it when in reality, as he later admits, he actually enjoys himself and has a nice time.

* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: As seen in [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/4121574.html#cutid1 this strip], Greece has a movie about a [[Foreign Queasine|gigantic moussaka]] attacking.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: He tends to be characterized as this in some fanworks.

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: He's #1 in the frequency of sex in the world, surpassing even ''France'', and everyone else knows it, and he has no problems with nudity like France... and yet he's one of the [[Nice Guy|nicest characters]] in the series and the other characters don't seem afraid of being randomly undressed or molested while interacting with him, unlike with France. Additionally, it's made clear that he definitely wouldn't object to having sex with his close friend Japan (and may haved managed to get him into bed at least once) but also that he values their friendship enough, or is mindful enough of Japan's intimacy issues, to not press him ''too'' hard on this, and ''genuinely'' likes him as a person.

* [[Really Gets Around]]: In the "official doujinshi" by Himaruya, England and France try to tell others that he invented condoms. [[Insult Backfire|It backfires when he admits he's had lots of sex, but then adds he doesn't use them]].

** [[Ladykiller in Love]]: However, this is rarely brought up in [[Shipping]] fanworks, as the general assumption in fandom is that he's still a [[Nice Guy]] at heart who would willingly stop sleeping around to be in a committed relationship with the one he loves. Most common with Japan, to the point where references to him [[Dogged Nice Guy|having waited for over a hundred years for Japan to return his feelings]] are not uncommon; with Turkey, it tends to be more of an '[[Belligerent Sexual Tension|on-again, off-again]]' thing, but there's still usually the implication that he reserves the sex for Turkey only.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: So is it 'Karpusi' or 'Karpossi' or 'Kiparsi' or what? Also, is it 'Heracles' or 'Herakles'?

** Seeing as his last name is based on the Greek word for "watermelon", which is "καρπούζι", [[Tropers/Alexandra|this Greek troper]] thinks that it should be Karpouzi and the author just [[Did Not Do the Research]].

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Is often portrayed as this to Greece or Japan in fanworks. The latter case might be canon, considering how he becomes incensed upon seeing Japan with Greece in one manga chapter and jumps to the assumption that Greece is "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|trying to invade Japan]]", even claiming that "Ya don't know how well Japan and I get along!" He even threatens to invade France if he tries to harass Japan his usual way.

* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: He's implied to have a crush on Japan, and it turns out that his rival is none other than Greece. Who's shown a ''lot'' more with Japan than him in the strips. And may have slept together with Japan at least once. And while fandom does give Turkey [[Foe Yay|some action with Greece]], the number of fics in which he's even ''considered'' as a viable romantic possibility for Japan, much less paired up with him, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

** It's only on the Western side though, due to having the [[All There in the Manual|author's notes about Turkey and Japan]] lost in translation until recently. Meanwhile, the Japanese fandom likes to play with the Greece/Japan/Turkey Triangle [[Triang Relations|in all shapes and angles; most commonly in Type 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8 Triangle forms with either Japan or Greece at the pivotal point]].

** [[Sleeps With Everyone but You|Lets Everyone Join but You]]: Feeling left out, Turkey asks the European Union to join in. After decades of waiting expectedly for acceptance, he finds out that the EU lets any nation join within seconds while he's being ignored.

* [[Love Hurts]]: In the beta version for the drama CD, he's revealed to have been in love with [[Hot Mom|Ancient]] [[Lady of War|Greece]]/Byzantium. Who he eventually killed. (It's not necessarily canon as it wasn't included in the final version of the drama CD, but it sure would explain an awful lot about his relations with her son.) And when you take in account the aforementioned [[Hopeless Suitor]] case with Japan and Greece ''and'' the only popular fanon pairing he gets being all about him and his [[Arch Enemy]] belting out the tune of [[The Masochism Tango]] at the top of their lungs, you have one wholly unenviable love life on your hands.

** Let's not forget that a small section of the Japanese fandom also pairs him up with the local [[Action Girl]], Hungary. Who has been fighting him ever since she was a little girl (she refers to him as [[Precision F-Strike|"the Ottobastard Empire"]]) and not to mention [[wikipedia:Ottoman Hungary|Ottoman Hungary was one of the most rebellious provinces in the Ottoman Empire.]] Add how [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|she's in love with]] [[The White Prince|Austria]] and, well...

* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]: A subversion, and more often than not [[Played for Laughs]]. Yes, he was VERY unpleasant in the past to ''many'' nations (young Greece, young Hungary, the Italies, Spain), but after having gone from the personification of the Ottoman Empire to the one of the Republic of Turkey, he's portrayed as a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] who's actually rather fun to hang out with. [[The Rival|Unless you're the now grown up Greece]].
