The Woobie/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

** Also, Canada. The unappreciated country never noticed, or when actually noticed, being mistaken (i.e. beaten up by Cuba) for America. His own brother can't even remember his name. But he at least gets his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he gives America an epic [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].

** China also qualifies. He's constantly ordered around by his fellow allies, he's picked on by numerous other characters, including his younger siblings; not to mention the strip where France, Russia and England help him get his land back after he was beaten up by Japan after the first Sino-Japanese war, but proceed to divide it amongst themselves. [[Fate Worse Than Death|Their means of comfort don't seem to work either]].

** [[Tsundere]] [[The Mean Brit|Mean Brit]] England also has a number of Woobie moments. [[Bonnie Scotland|His]] [[Wales|older]] [[~~Useful Notes/~~Ireland|brothers]] have hated him ever since he was small and he's never had any friends in Europe (not that there are no reasons for all that), and apparently he feels genuinely sad about this, not to mention lonely. Finally he found America, someone who cared for him and whom England loved very much, until America eventually [[The American Revolution|declared independence]] and broke his heart. And if this wasn't enough, all his attempts at getting closer to a now grown-up America end with [[Master of the Mixed Message|America gleefully shooting him down]] - even when England is on his [[Like You Would Really Do It|death bed]]. ''Twice.''

** Latvia is pretty much on his own and the universe seems out to get him... he was even {{spoiler|eaten by a sheep!}} Come on!

** Poor Romano, who was an inferiority-complex stricken kid [[Parental Abandonment|whose grandfather abandoned]] [[Parental Favoritism|him in favor of his younger brother]], who was deathly worried that Spain and France only wanted him for his grandfather's inheritance and that he had nothing to offer, [[The Unfavorite|and is often disliked in favor of his much-loved younger brother]]. Too bad Romano fangirls take it the other way [[Ron the Death Eater|and bash Veneziano to make him "look better"]].
