Line 5:
* It seems like almost every character with a recurring role has their own version of either Marukaite Chikyuu or Hatafutte Parade. The Axis and Allies have one of each, of course, but characters with shorter appearances are starting to get them, too - like Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Greece, Turkey, even Sweden, who's only been in three or four episodes so far. And considering the size of his fanbase, and the fact that he was introduced in the second season, before both Sweden and Turkey, shouldn't Canada have his own version of the theme song? Well, obviously not - they forgot about him again!
** Although, he did receive his own character song, titled "Canada Complete Introduction"
* This happened to me at least twice with ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. When I first read the strips featuring Russia and Belarus, I naturally found the concept of the series' most feared character being scared out of his wits by a cute girl hilarious, but I thought it was done just because of [[Rule of Funny]] until I learned about the [[wikipedia:Union State|Union State]]. ''That'' was when I truly began relishing Himaruya's set-up of Belarus and Russia's relationship - Belarus's [[:Category:Yandere|Yandereness]] toward her brother is ''real-life'' canon!
** It's actually not, when Russia's leader suggested that Belarus unite with Russia, only 20% of Byelorussians voted in favor of it.
*** However, sometimes a nation-tan's actions are meant to reflect their government instead of their people, and the Belarussian government is rather in favor of the Union State.
Line 66:
** And there's the fact that these are countries, whose actions are determined by their government or military: ''they have no free will.''
** There's also the possibility that it could work ''the other way around.'' Or in other words, they could potentially influence their citizens to do what is demanded for them...
** There is [https://web.archive.org/web/20130729033247/http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/nonlinear.php?vais a recent comic], a rewrite of an older comic, that actually touches on this. It is a massive [[Tear Jerker]].
** The worst part? ''[[Ascended Fridge Horror|This may indeed have been touched upon in the series]]''. Remember France and Joan of Arc?
** It sucks. They can't get attached to humans because they die at the drop of a hat, especially since the nation-tans are so closely involved in war. They have each other, but they can't truly trust each other because any minute they might be involved in a war against each other. Look at America and England, or Japan and China. From the human point of view there were good reasons behind the wars, but from the nation-tans' point of view it was far more personal, with the beloved little brothers stabbing their caregivers in the back, literally in the latter case. Just imagine having to go through centuries of life with ''no close friends at all.'' It's amazing they're as well-balanced as they are.
Line 86:
'''Finland''': Oh, but don't you worry that [[Those Wacky Nazis|he might throw you in jail]] [[Beleaguered Assistant|if you complain too much about him?]]<br />
'''Germany''': [[Moral Event Horizon|In what world do bosses imprison their own countries]], [[Like You Would Really Do It|I ask?]]<br />
'''Finland''': Honestly, though, I ''do'' think [[If I Can't Have You|your boss]] [[You Have Failed Me...|could find it in him]]. }}
* This troper was learning about essential minerals and stuff in biology and....you know that water faucet that Russia always carries around? Symptoms of lead poisoning include: irritability, lack of or late mental development, delirium or hallucinations (remember when he escaped from reality while building the canal?)and behavioural problems. Wow. No wonder he's a [[Ax Crazy|Psychopathic]] [[Psychopathic Manchild|ManCHILD]].
** Except we see Russia get the pipe- he steals it from Germany's house, and he's already plenty [[Psychopathic Manchild|crazy]] then.
Line 103:
**** That doesn't mean that heartbreak was over America leaving him though. It's never been confirmed what that heartache was about in canon, and as this is the [[Fridge Horror]] section, just the ''possibility'' of that heartache being because he mourned over the death of his bunny companion is enough to be worth taking note of.
** I saw a fancomic where little!England uses his magic to turn his bunny friend into the magical flying mint bunny. If he turned into one of England's magical friends, he'd be just as invisible as the fairies
* Okay, so you know how Italy is called Veneziano because of Venice, so it's commonly believe that Venice is his heart? Venice has been very slowly sinking for hundreds of years, and the canals are very polluted. What kind of effect would that have on his health? (This is after reading [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029081109/http://animoobs.tumblr.com/post/6166685477/dolfin-gerita this doujin], which takes place probably [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|a few decades from present]]. One of the comments on one of the reblogs of it was " ;A; SO SAD. Though I think I would’ve cried more if they kept Feli/Italy out of Venice’s canals. *shudders* That water is so polluted and diseased it’s not even funny. So that little quirk bothered me a lot. However, it’s still a beautiful and sad doujin." PS: [[Mind Screw|Mind Screw ending.]]
* Englands reaction to America growing up seemed like the normal joke of 'oh those kids grow up so fast when you're not looking'. Until you think about chibitalia. Italy was a kid for at least a few hundred years it seemed. Maybe for a country America did grow up freakishly fast.
** Fairly positive that there were notes in one strip stating that America ''did'' grow very fast, so to England it would probably be like leaving your ten year old for a month and finding they've aged several years on your return. So yeah, it is quite sad for them.
