Episode 07

The seventh episode of Axis Powers Hetalia was broadcast on March 6th, 2009. The episode, based off the strips Meet My Big Brother! and '''Good Luck! Big Brother!''', formally introduces Romano (South Italy) to the cast.

Allied Forces
In the Allied Forces base, America conducts a meeting to discuss how to take down the Axis Powers, but his speech is drowned out by his own rapid eating and drinking, much to the irritation of England.

Meet My Big Brother!
Italy introduces Germany to his older brother Romano, who reacts rudely and refers to Germany as a "potato bastard". As Italy attempts to restrain his brother, Germany remarks that the number of annoying men has increased.

In the next scene, Romano confronts Germany about his "corruption" of Italy, the mass of German tourists invading his house, and goes as far as to accuse Germany of being the reason he stepped in a pile of rabbit feces, to which Germany wonders how it could be his fault. An enraged Romano prepares to throw tomatoes at him, only to be frightened by France (who has popped out of a sewer) and wind up begging Germany to hide him from France (who winds up frightened by the sight of Germany).

Good Luck! Big Brother!
Romano confronts Germany again, and enacts his revenge: Holding a fake mustache up to make it look like (from his point of view) that Germany has a ridiculous mustache. However, Germany points out that from his point of view, it looks like Romano has the mustache, causing the other man to cease his laughter and become embarrassed.

A humiliated Romano cries to his brother about how he made a fool of himself, though Italy tells him not to cry and proceeds to list all the good things about Germany. Romano asks Italy if he would praise him like he does Germany, causing the younger brother to silently scoot away in response. Romano reacts with an angered outburst of "I hate you!" and literally rockets out of the house through the roof, causing an explosion.

Chibitalia pt.6
Holy Roman Empire returns home to find Chibitalia sweeping the floors. Chibitalia becomes frightened upon seeing HRE, who runs off to his bedroom. He proceeds to roll around the bed and loudly cheer over Chibitalia's arrival, as an annoyed Austria tells him to keep it down.
