Line 7:
* [[Black Magic]]: England uses a creepy [[Black Cloak]] ritual to curse Germany.
** [[White Magic]]: But Russia uses the Orthodox Church to curse Japan.
* [[Five -Man Band]]: The Allied Forces can be seen like this, to some degree. Roles are subjected to change, of course:
** [[The Hero]]: America ([[Love Freak|or so he wants to believe]])
** [[The Lancer]]: England ([[Straight Man]] and sort of [[The Rival]] to America, ''[[Not So Above It All|sometimes]]'' [[Team Dad]] / [[Only Sane Man]])
** [[The Big Guy]]: Russia (The tallest and [[Psychopathic Manchild|most unstable]] of the group)
** [[The Smart Guy]]: China (He's 4000 years old and the most knowledgeable about things) [[With Friends Like These|getting hassle even from the Allies]] until [[WhosWho's Laughing Now?|he ditches his traditional robes for a Mao suit.]])
** [[The Chick]] / [[The Heart]]: France (The most traditionally bishonen and always romantic)
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Canada (Whose presence is rarely noticed by the other Allies and sometimes mistaken for America.)
* [[Flower Motifs]]: Fandom never misses an opportunity to depict Russia with sunflowers and England with roses (England's national flower). And then there's France and [[Hand or Object Underwear|his own roses]]...
* [[The Minnesota Fats]]: America and England have a bit of a rivalry. No matter what England does, America does it better. But on Halloween, England takes advantage of America's fear of ghosts and wins their competition of who will be scared first 87 years straight. (However, when America enlists Japan's help...)
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: America is cheerful, idealistic, brash, if a little ''too'' much. England is his cynical, grouchy, critical, sometimes underhand, longtime 'frenemy'.
** [[Savvy Guy Energetic Girl|Savvy Guy, Energetic Other Guy]]: They're also this.
** England can also be the Red Oni to France's Blue Oni.
Line 24:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: England has this kind of relationship with both America and France, to varying extents.
** To a lesser extent, the Allies are this. They bicker a lot and only barely manage to get along, but in the end they've got each other's backs.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: America and England. My God, the ''[[Ship Tease]]'' between them...
** They even have a strip that has a title that pretty much translates to [[Moment Killer|The Moment Is Killed]].
*** Or, more specifically, [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/557094.html The Long-Awaited Deep Emotion is Ruined].
Line 58:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: America is ''very'' eager and happy to fight the Axis Powers.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: "It's not working!"
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: In [http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/16300000/Hetalia-halloween-special-hetalia-16388576-700-339.jpg his Halloween costume] as a [[Shout Out]] to ''[[Friday the 13 th13th (Film)|Friday the 13 th]]'' of course.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: He always feels the need to be the hero in ''every'' situation.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-936.html We could call it a] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|nuclear F bomb!]]
** To explain: Himaruya used him to demonstrate an American movie that was heavy on [[Cluster F -Bomb]].
* [[Cool Plane]]: Planes seem to be a motif, seeing as he has one on his bomber jacket and likes to show England his airplane designs. He has one in the third chapter which comes from a design in an old Disney cartoon.
** [[Stealth Insult]]: From England, but America doesn't seem to bother hiding his response.
Line 81:
* [[Heroic Wannabe]]: [[America Saves the Day|"I'll be the hero, of course!"]]
** "I'll be the [[Sentai|Red Ranger]], of course!"
** The credits of the independent film on Yout... I mean [[Bland -Name Product|HetaTube]] list his role as "Hero".
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Japan.
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: Spoofed; he believes he's gaining weight, but he doesn't look any different and [[Word of God]] [http://aph.starry-sky.com/matome_heta.html says that he's actually gaining muscle and simply fails to realize it over his paranoia.]
Line 100:
* [[Megaton Punch]]: He pulls one off in the Hetalia movie against the aliens. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It was awesome.]]
* [[Mysterious Middle Initial]]: So, really, what ''does'' that "F" stand for?
** It seems like [[Word of God|Himaruya]] considered making it short for "Foster". Or "Franklin". Or "[[Cluster F -Bomb|Fuck]]". But in the end, [[Shrug of God|he didn't choose any of them.]]
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: He has whales and the visitor from outer space named Tony (who hates England for some reason, but is fond of Lithuania).
* [[Nonuniform Uniform]]: In [[High School AU|Gakuen Hetalia]]. [http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd201/Genrou-chan/Hetalia%20Gakuen/31.jpg He wears his bomber jacket] instead of the required school jacket.
** Well... it ''is'' modified to look like a letter jacket, so maybe he's on a sports team.
Line 122:
* [[Twinkle Smile]]: America does this at one point during an Allied Forces meeting.
* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: He pulls one off during the Hetalia Movie with backflips. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It was awesome.]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: When he talks business, he ends his sentences with [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"-gates"]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to volume 3 originally he was supposed to be smarter, more cheeky and more handsome.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: America is irrationally afraid of even the mention of ghosts. Oddly, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|he doesn't mind the aliens that hang around his house]]. Apparently, on Halloween, he inherits England's second sight for a moment, which is ''terrifying'' for him.
** Oddly enough, the actual presence of the Grim Reaper didn't faze him at all.
** According to Hetalia Fantasia 2, he's also scared of [[Dora the Explorer]].
Line 139:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Isn't it funny how the [[Noriaki Sugiyama|voice actor]] of the [[Fate Stay Night|person that worked with King Arthur]] is now another Arthur who is Britain himself?
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Alternatively appears with dark or light blond hair in the manga, but it became a saturated yellow-blond shade for the anime.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: He apparently has a crush on America. The most obvious hint is the Valentine's strip where England gives America some chocolates while blushing and being all embarrassed. America [[Master of the Mixed Message|giving mixed signals]] (mocking England in one moment, claiming to be hurt because England didn't give him Valentine's chocolates in the next) [[Will They or Won't They?|doesn't exactly help matters]], and neither does the fact that they're both [[Tsundere]] and ''heavy'' on the ''tsun''.
* [[Amazing Freaking Grace]]: His ringtone on his cellphone.
* [[The Archer]]: Some sketches of child!England have him with bow and arrows as his [[Weapon of Choice]]
* [[Back From the Dead]]: He actually ''died'' during the 'England Caught A Cold' strips. Fortunately, America [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|restored him back to life]].
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: He used to be this to America (and Canada) until [[The American Revolution|it all went wrong.]]
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: A sign of being a gentleman. Or something. And they're ''even bigger'' in the anime.
* [[Big Screwed -Up Family]]: Due to the expansive nature of the British Empire and subsequent Commonwealth, fandom sometimes depicts him as the head of a large extended family including (so far): Australia, Canada, Cameroon, Hong Kong, Sealand, Seychelles, New Zealand and the USA.
* [[Black Magic]]: His specialty. At one point, he tries to summon ''something'' evil and ends up with Russia.
** [[White Magic]]: His Britannia Angel magic is a little less evil. Well, a lot sillier.
Line 152:
* [[The British Invasion]]: As well as a pirate, he is also depicted as a [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O2OO-R4w1T0/Sp--0pLWacI/AAAAAAAAARQ/J299EsLCqLw/s320/Hetalia_England_CD.png rock guitarist] in fan artworks (twice in official art), most probably as a nod to England's famous rock heritage.
** [[British Rock Star]]
* [[British Stuffiness]]: Evidenced with the disapproving and often despairing attitude he displays towards his compatriots, but it's also averted- he's a former delinquent with a [[Hair -Trigger Temper]], a [[Cluster F -Bomb|foul mouth]] and [[Can't Hold His Liquor|bad drinking habits.]]
* [[Brits With Battleships]]: He references his impressive naval history in his image song "Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman."
{{quote| '''England:''' (translated) "The seven seas are like my backyard, romance and plundering, I manage holiday houses in India and Hong-Kong!" }}
Line 163:
* [[Cloak and Dagger]]: England is the best of the Allied Forces when it comes to spying.
{{quote| '''England:''' ...When it comes to spies, no country can beat the great England!}}
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: He has the filthiest mouth of all the characters. Besides Tony, of course.
* [[Code Name]] of sorts: He's England but he represents the entire United Kingdom as well, so in the Japanese original he's called "Britain" (''igirisu''), even in historical periods when Great Britain didn't exist.
** In Japanese fanworks he's usually called by his "real name", England (''ingurando'') by his older brothers, and sometimes by other countries as well before the 18th century.
Line 175:
** [[The Snark Knight]]: He can drift into this territory occasionally.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice Lord]]: He seems to be cold at first, but is surprisingly devoted to those he becomes friends with.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The animated rendition of "England is about to die" strips have the bed-ridden England [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylDxhpLtOG8 with feverish eyes, fever-reddened cheeks, slurred speech, slow breathing,] etc. [[media:arthur_has_an_orgasm.jpg|Something like this,]] if you wonder.
** [[Memetic Mutation|Shoops are obviously in the making.]] [http://mizumimi.livejournal.com/19602.html Same goes to icons.]
* [[Doting Parent|Doting Older Brother]]: Towards little America, at any rate. He's not nearly as close to Canada (whom he occasionally mistakes for America), let alone [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Sealand]].
Line 186:
* [[Gentleman Wizard]]: used magic in the series a couple of times. He's also shown interacting with magical creatures.
* [[Green Eyes]]: ''"In England's green & pleasant Land..."''
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]: Once something sets him off, he'll respond with a flurry of verbal insults.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely|He Cleans Up Nicely]] - Comb his hair, put him in a nice, fashionable suit and Germany has trouble recognizing him, eyebrows or no eyebrows.
** ...[[Fish Out of Water|Unless he's amid the crowds of Italy.]]
Line 197:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: He chose letting America go over shooting him to (possibly) make him stay.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: A running gag is that his lack of taste is directly responsible for America's food culture.
** [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|"Listen and be amazed!"]] No one is impressed by his sudden discovery of 'hard-boiled egg' technology.
** Really redefines 'lethal' when Prussia tries out his cooking in his Drama CD and ''it nearly kills him''. England's response is simply to try serving better tasting food next time.
* [[Lonely At the Top]]: He used to be lonely even ''before'' he got to the top. (It's implied that America changed this, until of course [[The American Revolution|things went wrong]].) He and Japan eventually [[Lonely Together|form an alliance over their shared friendless-ness]].
Line 222:
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Besides Tony, he's the most foul mouthed character in the entire series, tying only with Romano.
* [[Spot of Tea]]: England has a tea cup in his official art. America used to drink tea but has switched to coffee since [[The American Revolution]].
** [[Not -So -Innocent Whistle|Not So Innocent]] [[Spot of Tea]]: Pirates? Privateers? Savaging the Spanish fleet? [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Nothing to do with him]].
* [[Stepford Snarker]]: A lot of fanworks portray him as this, digging deep into the loss of his empire and colonies and his seemingly bad youth. Those fanworks tend to have him sporting [[Tsunshun]] as well.
** Unlike the fandom's America's [[Stepford Snarker]] tendencies, this might in fact even be canon, though YMMV.
* [[Stiff Upper Lip]]: Somehow, being England, he manages to be the ultimate [[Averted Trope|aversion]] of this.
** To his credit, he doesn't even flinch with guns pointed at him while he's enjoying his tea.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Australia, Hong Kong, Wy and Sealand share his [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]. Curiously, America, Canada and Seychelles don't.
* [[Student Council President]]: In Gakuen Hetalia.
* [[Talking in Your Sleep]]: In public, even. "Did you wet your bed again, Ame--"
Line 235:
* [[Volleying Insults]]: England does this with France and America a lot.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Himaruya originally considered giving him normal thin eyebrows, as well as making him an older man who attempted to dress trendy and younger. He changed his mind on the eyebrows after deciding he wanted them to mimic the brow patterns of a Shiba dog.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: In one episode, England invents machines for boiling the 'perfect egg' and brewing the 'perfect beer.' Nobody is very impressed.
* [[When She Smiles|When He Smiles]]: During one of the Christmas strips where he's playing soccer with Germany during the war times, he has a genuine smile seen [http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4885/britanianmalicekick131.png here].
* [[Wimpification]]: He's another common victim of this treatment in fanworks.
Line 308:
** [[Slasher Smile]]: After smiling calmly, Russia usually pulls this out by the end of a strip he's in.
* [[Sunny Sunflower Disposition]]: While the sunniness of his personality is mainly [[Stepford Smiler|only on the exterior]], his dream of living in a warm place surrounded by sunflowers is a major indicator that he really does have a "dere" side underneath his insanity.
* [[Tears of Fear]]: He can only sob and make futile cries of "Go home!" when [[Mad Love|Belarus literally tears down his door]] [[Brother -Sister Incest|to demand that they get married]].
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Well, it depends on your definition of ''evil'', but...
* [[Used to Be A Sweet Kid]]: The third and fourth manga volumes reveal him to have been a genuinely nice and friendly kid who just wanted to be friends with the nations who kept on bullying or avoiding him and snapped only when Prussia insisted on picking a fight with him. And even after ''that'' fight, he writes in his journal about how he hopes the Teutonic Knights will "[[I Just Want to Have Friends|come as friends, not enemies]]" the next time he meets them.
* [[Vodka Drunkenski]]: "My favorite food would be pierogi and...vodka? It's my fuel, you see."
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to volume 3, at first he had dark hair, was middle-aged, and a crybaby who completely changed when he drank alcohol.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[White Magic]]: The Orthodox Church curses Japan. It works.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: During the 2010 Bloodbath, he was one of the first nations taken out and kidnapped. And this is after General Winter was also defeated.
Line 341:
** [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: And it's often played for laughs.
** {{spoiler|Averted by his "cat boy twin" France 23: despite being naked all the time (since it's fashionable in his "home"), he becomes rather friendly once Sealand subjects him to [[Defeat Means Friendship]].}}
* [[Cheese -Eating Surrender Monkeys]]: England is quick to point out France's reputation for being inept at warfare. In the English dub Britain calls France this word for word.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: During Napoleon's reign, enough to even win against Russia and Austria.
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]
* [[The Determinator]]: "Like... like Hell I'll die here!" Followed by a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|Roaring Rampage of Nudity]].
* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|Dude He's Like Really Sick]]: He comes close to molesting England while the latter is tired and has a bad cold. America walks in before anything happens, to France's irritation.
** "I found Prague!"
* [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French]]: To the point where it is lampshaded in this [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/902567.html#cutid1 comic]
Line 383:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Has black hair (most of the time) in the manga, but brown in the anime.
* [[Adult Child]]: Tries his best to act as a mentor to others, often giving out advice or nagging. When he's not, he's cheerfully playing with Shinatty and other cute things.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|Aiyaa Where Is My Respect Aru?!]]: A part of the drama track in China's character CD is about him trying to get the respect of Shinatty and his sister Taiwan and failing hilariously.
{{quote| '''Taiwan:''' Shut up teacher!<br />
'''China:''' T-Taiwan...!<br />
Line 393:
** [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Bishonen]]: China has the swishiest style of all the characters, especially when he draws himself. He's also fairly artistic.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: Some of these are [[Justified Trope|justified]] as his cheap knock-offs.
** The author thinks China's real-life Hello Kitty dolls have been given a [[Psychotic Smirk]].
* [[Broken Bird]]: China can easily be seen as a rare male example. Considering [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|how long he's lived]], [[The Woobie|what's he's lived through]] [[Useful Notes/China|and how much the actual country itself has suffered throughout the years]], fangirls don't hesitate to put him in this position.
Line 411:
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Like his brother Japan, he feels alienated sometimes in regards to the Allies.
* [[Freudian Slip]]: There is a running joke in the Japanese fandom that China sang "Netto Chinko" (internet penis) instead of "Netto Jinko" (internet population) in his character song "Hello China".
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He has a single but large one across his back, after Japan injures him with his katana and leaves. We see it when he gets a massage from Korea.
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: He wears panda boxers!
* [[She's Got Legs|He's Got Legs]]: Many have fallen to the beauty that is [http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/scanlation/shorts/2011april1/kumakuma.jpg China's leg].
Line 430:
** And in Taiwan's character song, Kaida has a duet with herself as China makes a special appearance!
* [[Third Option Love Interest]]: Is often viewed as this to Russia by fans, as an alternative to the [[Psychotic Love Triangle]]-ness of [[Betty and Veronica|Lithuania and Belarus]]. It's somewhat supported by Russia having stalked China in a panda suit, comforted China about Japan in his own...[[Psychopathic Manchild|unique way]], and invited China to live with him after the Boxer Rebellion in canon. Hey, [[Mad Love|as far as Russia's relationships go]], this is practically him being ''nice'' to China.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: China ends most of his sentences with "aru", which is derived from a Japanese stereotype of Chinese people. When talking to England (for example in the Britannia Angel strip) "aru" sometimes changes to "ahen" which means [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"opium"]].
** This is actually [[Truth in Television]], as adding 'ar' onto the ends of sentences is one of the most prominent features of the Beijing dialect of Mandarin.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to volume 3 he originally had short hair, glasses, and was more like Austria in personality.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: China's profile lists him as four-thousand years old and immortal, so this characterization is popular fanon. Also his character song "Aiyaa Four-Thousand Years" seems to take this stance.
* [[With Friends Like These]]: Even when the Allies start getting Japan off his back, they still keep picking on him. There's also a webcomic strip that shows England, France and Russia "comforting" him after the Boxer Rebellion by saying that he should give them territory or live with them.
* [[Frying Pan of Doom|Wok Of Doom]]: In the webcast.
