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
** 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 11:
** Not quite, it's still the rule of 'funny', as he would have kept with his original premise, and made Belarus a hot-tempered Tsundere who was [[wikipedia:Belarus–Russia relations|constantly nagging.]]
** While on the subject of real life canon and [[Hot-Blooded]] Tsundres, why is England a tsundere in the series? Because in real life Great Britain is essentially the world's ''biggest'' tsundere towards the United States! Seriously, Britain has been our allies, then our enemies, then our allies again and so on and so forth. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.
** The second case occurred with the "Rainy Day" strip. I already found it cute due to the [[Together Umbrella]] scenario with Greece and Japan (and yes, I'm a [[Yaoi Fangirl]] who ships these two hard), but it wasn't until I read a certain LJ post that I realized that Japan is also wearing a raincoat in the same strip. Which means that he didn't ''have'' to share Greece's umbrella but did anyway, even though he almost certainly knows what the act signifies in his own culture. The [[Ship Tease]] in that strip just got a whole lot more [[
* At first, I was a little curious as to how [[Canada, Eh?|Canada]] and [[Hot-Blooded|Cuba]] were friends, despite being separated by the United States. Then I read about how from the 18th century, Canada and Cuba were trading with each other and have kept a cordial relationship with each other since, Canada even protesting against the United States about the [[wikipedia:Helms-Burton Act|Helms-Burton Act]]. It is also noteworthy to point out that Canada's former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Cuba's former Prime Minister Fidel Castro were good friends, up to Trudeau's death.
* [[Tsundere|Romano's]] constant insults towards other nations' [[Foreign Queasine|foods]] (Germany and potatoes; Switzerland and cheese) is often [[Up to Eleven|turned up to eleven]] in fanfics by making Romano basically insult anyone who doesn't exclusively love [[Trademark Favorite Food|tomatoes]] and pasta. When I learned about the term [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=polentone polentone], food-based insults officially became [[Fanon|canon]], and there was much rejoicing.
Line 121:
** No, actually, the nickname for the alien-thing in [[Heta Oni]] is more well-known as "Steve."
* The "useless" Italy brothers are the grandchildren of Rome, one of the greatest warriors in history. If they had family in the conventional sense and he didn't just find them as England did with America, what the hell was the other side of their family like that their incompetence overwrote both nature and nurture from Rome? One really ''hopes'' he just found them.
** Rome's a bit ditzy himself though...He seems to have the same type of relationship with Germania as his younger grandson has with Germany, he has an eye for pretty girls, and he has a [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|short attention span]]: when he starts to give a lecture on ''his own history'', he zones out and Germany has to finish up for him. Those are all traits he shares with Veneziano. Rome's a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]], not a hypercompetent warrior, so it seems his [[Parental Favoritism]] towards North Italy was a case of "birds of a feather": North Italy is a talented painter, trader, cook and, debatably,
** This troper also remembers a strip that seemed to imply that Romano has more work ethic than his little brother.
*** Also raises the questions; if they did not in fact have parents, why did he call himself their grandfather and not their father? If they ''did'' have parents, what happened to them? Kind of scary thought; it's theorized that nations were once humans. Does that mean Rome may have had human kids? And they remained human, allowing them to grow old and die while watching both their father ''and'' their children stay the same?
