** The ''[[Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force|FORCE]]'' manga is giving her [[Worf Had the Flu|good]] [[Near Death Experience|reasons]] to be serious and depressive.
* [[From Eroica With Love|Klaus von dem Eberbach]] - to the tenth degree. Hates disorder, doesn't know how to relax (literally), uptight, conservative, and always clad in a suit - Klaus can send the stress levels of a room soaring just by walking in. Interestingly though, he's the only German to conform to [[National Stereotypes|his national stereotype]] in a series rife with them: his German underlings include a [[Wholesome Crossdresser|sweet natured transvestite]] somewhat prone to hysterics, a beleaguered second in command, a goofy third in command and an earnest rookie.
* In ''[[Cyborg 009]]'', the German Cyborg Albert Heinrich/004 is given one of the most tragic backstories as an [[East Germany]] escapé who loses his fiancée and has his body half-torn in their escape, is reconstructed as a ''heavily'' armored Cyborg by Black Ghost, and then is put into a coma for many years. Though he (thankfully) doesn't reach [[Wangst]] levels, he often remarks on how everything has changed for him and shows deep worry [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|about how much of a human he truly is]] [[What Measure Is a Non

Now, ironically, they're the closest ''fratello'' group other than Sandro and Petra, who actually took it [[Relationship Upgrade|a step further]].
* Hoover Kippenburg in the ''[[Area 88]]'' manga was stricken with guilt over a training accident back in Europe that killed several pilots.

Germans! Who squabbled about everything, including even the language they spoke, and were notorious throughout Europe for the production of religious sects, mass rebellions, mercenary soldiers, everything ''except'' order. }}
