Episode 68

The sixteenth episode of Hetalia: World Series (sixty-eighth in total for Hetalia) was broadcast on July 9th, 2010. It adapts more from Super Angry Japan in Comic Diary 10, along with more of Boss Spain's Control of Southern Italy part 2.

Super Angry Japan
Greece and Japan start their attempts at getting mad. Greece winds up becoming angered easily by thinking of Turkey, but all Japan can produce is a "dissatisfied feeling."

Spain and His Henchman's Depression
The narrator recaps the last Boss Spain segment, explaining Romano's trip and the threat of France.

Spain and France start to fight over Romano, who becomes frightened and runs away. After having run far enough, Romano wonders why the two have always been following after him. He then realizes that they must only want him for his grandfather's inheritance, and reasons that it's the only thing he has left over as he's weak and not useful in any way, and can never match up to his brother Veneziano.

Romano recalls having wanted to clean, but that a bookcase collapsed. He then thinks about how Veneziano has always been better at trade and art, and how he received more of their grandfather's looks. A chirping bird then interrupts Romano's thoughts, which causes him to become angered and start screaming at it to stop laughing at him and looking down on him.

A footnote appears, with an image of both Chibitalias superimposed over the Italian peninsula. The narrator explains that while North Italy benefited from the Renaissance, South Italy was an agricultural spot that didn't change very much after 1000 years and that because of that, its reputation in Europe is that of an area where "poor people only eat pasta and tomatoes yet are somehow cheerful." They reason that North Italy is more gentle and carefree yet conservative, while South Italy is more happy to simply be able to live through the day.

Post-Credits Teaser: Calling for the Big Boss
France, angry at being beat by Spain, decides that he's had enough. He orders his bird Pierre to fly out and get the strongest person they know. A note reads "To be continued."

 * The ending sequence is once again altered slightly, to feature a close-up of China in the group shot of the Allied Forces.
