Episode 53

The premiere episode of Hetalia: World Series was broadcast on March 26th, 2010. It is technically the fifty-third episode of the series overall, but is counted as a premiere episode by Studio DEEN, due to the decision to treat the third season as a separate series with the renaming.

This episode adapts from the Diary of The Awesome Me segments from the webcomic version of Liechtenstein's Journal of Swiss Dopiness, in addition to the strips Italy's Big Brother and Fly, Canada-san, Fly!.

Memorial of Me
A frustrated Prussia enters his library to retrieve his "ultimate weapon", and instantly becomes more enthused. He reveals that his library contains all the diaries that he has written since he was young...

Diary of The Awesome Me: Volume 128
A younger Prussia (as a Teutonic Knight) narrates about having been "cool", and that another boy named Hungary was being creepy.

A younger Hungary is shown, ordering Prussia not to let the Cumans take Burzenland. Though they attempt to warn him of the Cumans' experience in fighting, Prussia runs off to go battle instantly. Hungary wonders if he'll be alright, but Prussia returns instantly as the victor and orders Hungary to praise him. He then announces that he has claimed Burzenland as his reward. Hungary responds by angrily shooting him full of arrows.

An injured Prussia then warns a younger Poland to stay away from the "barbaric" Hungary.

Germany vs. Italy's Big Brother
Romano approaches Germany, ordering him to stay away from his younger brother and blaming him for why they're unable to get along (as Veneziano does nothing but talk about Germany). Romano then gloats that Germans have horrible physiology and that they're nothing but uncivilized country bumpkins.

Germany responds that he and Veneziano happen to share Germanic blood, which sends Romano into a rage. He attempts to charge at Germany, only to slip on a banana peel and fall on his face.

Veneziano later asks an injured Romano what happened, while his older brother blames him for the embarrassment (though Veneziano remains clueless as to why).

Vengeful Big Brother
Romano returns for revenge on Germany, stating that he'll be sure to win today. A confused Germany bids him "good luck" with the plan.

Romano explains that he's prepared a special plan and that since he's angry, it will be Germany's downfall. He pulls out a "Red Devil" grenade and removes the pin, which hits Germany in the head. Germany then realizes that Romano (much like his brother before) has opted to throw only the pin, and has the grenade planted in his own mouth.

Germany screams that it's the "opposite", and finds it hard to believe that both Italy brothers would do the same foolish thing.

Playing Catch with America
America asks Canada if he'll play catch with him. Canada accepts and tells America to "do his worst" since he can catch the ball, but is instantly hit in the face by it. Canada tries to warn America that he's throwing too fast, but winds up hit in the crotch by the ball (being too slow to catch it again). The game goes on for a while, with America rapidly throwing the ball and injuring Canada, who can't keep up with America's speed.

Canada becomes aggravated and asks America if he's ever thought of "taking things slowly" for a change, but America insists that Canada's just too slow. The two fight, with Canada being slow and sluggish at doing so.
