Episode 53.5: The Diary of the Awesome Me, Part 2

The Diary of the Awesome Me, part 2 is a special unaired episode of Hetalia: World Series included on the Hetalia: Axis Powers Fan Disk. It takes place between the first two episodes of World Series, adapting more of The Diary of the Awesome Me (last seen in Episode 53), along with the first portion of Kitty Festival (while the second portion was adapted in Episode 54).

Austria and the Cat Festival
Austria wonders why Chibitalia is wearing a pair of cat ears on "her" head. Hungary explains that it's because of Belgium's cat festival. She explains that at the time of a plague, cats were seen as symbols of witchcraft and were killed, so people wear the cat ears at the festival to mourn their deaths. Hungary then puts a pair of pink cat ears on her head, and proceeds to hand Austria a pair of yellow cat ears.

The Diary of the Awesome Me, part 2
Prussia narrates the 158th chapter of his diary, stating that he was very cool on that day and that Hungary was being weird.

The younger Hungary is shown leaning against a wall in pain, wondering if they'll be able to handle it, but Prussia interrupts to laugh at them and asks if they got beat up by Turkey again. Hungary orders him to go away and stay out of their "issues". Prussia suggests that they talk to their king, though Hungary replies that they won't show their weakness.

Hungary then reluctantly tells Prussia of their illness, in which their chest keeps experiencing strange throbbing pains. Prussia instantly becomes enthusiastic and begins to grope at their chest, announcing that he found the "weak spot". An angered Hungary orders Prussia to fight with them later, but Prussia suddenly realizes something unusual about the chest and panics. He then asks Hungary if they happen to have a penis, to which they answer that of course they would.

A relieved Prussia then says that there'd be no chance that they would be a woman anyway, though Hungary interrupts to wonder why Prussia was asking about their penis. They then explain that he shouldn't worry, since everyone will grow one when they're older anyway. The realization dawns on a horrified Prussia, while Hungary only laughs. Prussia tries to convince Hungary that the penis story isn't true, though Hungary mocks him for not believing or knowing of it. Prussia attempts to explain further, but Hungary's guard announces that suspicious troops have arrived.

Hungary gets ready to leave to fight Turkey, but Prussia stops her in another attempt to convince her that her penis story doesn't work. Hungary brushes him off and laughs again, noting that her chest pains are all gone. She thanks him for listening and urges him to keep the secret, as it's a "promise between men". Hungary then runs off to the battle.

In the final scene, Prussia sits in front of an altar panicking and confessing that he might have sinned, and that worrying is too painful. God (represented as a completely white-colored figure with a halo and wings) then tells Prussia to tell him something "new".

Trivia

 * While Chibitalia wore a short-sleeved brown dress in the original Festival strips, the long-sleeved green dress is used instead (as in the second part shown in Episode 54). As Belgium had not been introduced in the comics at the time and only in sketches, she also did not originally have any cameo in Hungary's explanation.
 * Austria and Hungary are once more depicted in clothing inspired by the outfits shown in character designs in the special edition booklet included with Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 2, with Austria wearing a lavender shirt and a capelet and Hungary in her tricolor-top apron.
 * An early screened version of this episode at a special event showed Prussia wearing blue and red, though due to fan outcry, this episode was also corrected to give him the appropriate colors for his Teutonic Knight uniform.
