List of Hetalia: Axis Powers chapters (webcomic)

This is a list of the various chapters and side-stories in the original webcomic version of Axis Powers Hetalia, by Hidekaz Himaruya.

Main Storyline
''The main storyline currently takes place in the timeframe between WWI and WWII, with the introduction of both the Axis Powers and Allied Forces. A sixth chapter is planned, but has yet to be posted on the site.''

Hetalia Chapter 1
The first arc in the main storyline covers the meeting of Germany and Italy, followed by the formation of the Axis Powers. Other events in the arc include Italy traveling to Egypt to start a fight (only to wind up needing Germany to bail him out), and Germany and Italy becoming prisoners of war.


 * A retconned version of this arc can be found in the Axis Powers chapter in Axis Powers Hetalia volume 1. In the published version, Japan joins the Axis in 1940 with the signing of the Tripartite Pact, while in the webcomic version he joins in 1936 due to his agreement with Germany.

Hetalia Chapter 2: Allied Forces
The Allied Forces, lead by America, form to take down the Axis Powers.


 * In the published version, the events of this arc are replaced with the equivalent Power Ranger Allied Forces chapter.

Hetalia Chapter 2.5: Japan Omake
A series of strips about Japan's place in the Axis.

Hetalia Chapter 3: G-R Non Aggression Pact?
The Axis Powers train for war as England attempts to sabotage America in various ways.

Hetalia Chapter 4: Pact Of Steel
Italy becomes paranoid of Germany and Japan abandoning him due to his weakness, while Lithuania overhears Russia's plans to invade Poland. Italy and Germany form the "Pact Of Steel", much to the aggravation of Italy's older brother, Romano.


 * In Axis Powers Hetalia volume 1, Germany and Italy make a pact in 1940, after Italy learns of Germany's war on France.

Hetalia Chapter 4.5: Chibitalia
The story of Italy in his youth, and his relationships with the Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Austria, Spain and France.


 * Hidekaz Himaruya has mentioned plans for a followup chapter, Shotalia, which would follow Italy into his teens. Along with chapter 6, it remains to be seen when this story will come to pass.


 * An altered version of this storyline was reprinted in Axis Powers Hetalia volume 1, with some strips rearranged, omake illustrations cut out, and the entire ending shortened. An extra strip was also added, featuring a story with Romano and Spain.

Hetalia 5: Lietuvis
Germany and Russia become good friends, while Japan is clearly not fond of the idea. Meanwhile, England and France's attempt to form an alliance with Poland doesn't go as planned.


 * There were originally several more pages to this chapter, but four of them (17-20) were permanently deleted. Four of the next five pages, which were "hidden" on the site, were reprinted as To The Unfinished Tomorrow in Axis Powers Hetalia volume 1. The one page that didn't make it into the reprint involved Lithuania dreaming about his complicated friendship with Poland.


 * The original ending indicates that the WWII storyline has officially started, with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany. A chibi illustration, reprinted in volume 1, indicates that Poland will be invaded by both Germany and Russia, alluding to the subsequent Soviet invasion of Poland.

Hetalia 6: Friend Invasion (unpublished)
Though this chapter was announced back in 2007 and a preliminary illustration of its "cover page" was posted on the site, it is unknown when or if it will be published.
