Characters: Axis Powers Hetalia part 4

Axis Powers Hetalia: Modern Classics


Modern Classics

  • Identical Grandson: Germany looks like Germania with shorter hair. Averted with the Roman Empire, who looks like both his grandsons (or rather both take after him without looking identical); Romano got his hair color, while Italy got his eyes.
    • Germany looks so much like Germania that Funimation thought they were the same person. Lets hope that gets fixed.

Ancient Italy, i.e. the Roman Empire

What!? You don't even * &%&@ on the road!? You've at least kissed a girl, right? Maybe a little bit of !@#$ on the beach!?

  • Bi The Way: Well, he did say he regretted never having sex with a male when alive...
  • Character Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Doting Grandfather: To Italy. "Aww, he's so kyooot~"
  • Dirty Old Man: The 'With Grandpa Rome' strips (in the published manga) hint on this.
  • Eyes Of Gold: In the anime, matching both of his grandsons' eye colors.
  • Hozumi Gouda
  • Love At First Sight: According to his official profile, it happened to him at least twice: with Old Greece (Greece's mother) and Old Egypt (Egypt's mother).
  • Perma Stubble
  • Posthumous Character: Almost only seen in flashbacks (if we don't count the published manga and the filler island cameo in the anime), but even as late as the Chibitalia Renaissance strips, it's all about him. He also confirms that nations age and die with military weakness.
  • Vestigial Empire: The Vestigial Empire.

  • Eyes Of Gold
  • Fan Nickname: She's often given the name "Felicia" by the Western fandom as her human name, whereas the Japanese fandom seems to prefer "Alice" (Commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che") judging by how quickly the Pixiv tag for the name filled up after Himaruya mentioned that someone suggested the name to him for female Italy. Guess no one liked "Daisy".

South Italy (Italy Romana)


  • Boobs Of Steel: Fanon seems to enjoy playing this straight by drawing her as very well-endowed, but canon subverts it with an earlier sketch◊. She's not a Pettanko, but she certainly doesn't have the largest breasts around.
