Plot Summary
Lazy Japan's Anger
Greece wonders if it's really that hard for Japan to get angry, though Japan insists that he had in fact been angry. Greece suggests that he try thinking of times that he wasted money to get mad.
At first, Japan finds it hard to think of times he wasted money, though a memory of the United Nations ordering him to pay repair fees and a memory of a panda flash by. Suddenly, he recalls the price of eggs going up 60 yen, and furious puffs of smoke begin to emit from his head. Elsewhere, Turkey wonders why Greece is calling him on the phone and asking for his camera, but finds out that Japan became angry. He insists that Greece send him a copy of the picture.
In the last shot, Greece and Japan sit on the hill. Japan mentions mikan oranges, but Greece has no clue what he means by it.
Running Away with Su-san
Finland narrates that he and Sweden used to live with Denmark. However, Denmark was stubborn and didn't like to listen to others, while Sweden turned out to be very rebellious and fled, with him (Finland) tagging along.
The two sit out in the wilderness, as Finland wonders what they'll do next. He mentions that though he likes being free, he's scared of being surrounded by stronger nations and feels anxious. He then corrects himself in fear at Sweden's shocked expression, adding that he didn't mean that Sweden made him feel anxious. Finland then suggests that they sleep, but winding up thinking to himself how scared and nervous he is to be around Sweden.
Finland decides that Sweden doesn't seem that bad, but as he opens his eyes, he discovers Sweden lying next to him and becomes horrified by his stare. He nervously brings up the subject of the moon and the cold, though Sweden's brief responses and expression intimidate him even more. Finland thinks to himself that it'll be impossible to live with Sweden and wonders if he should run off to be on his own. But his thought is cut off as Sweden scoots closer to him, wraps his arms around him, and proceeds to share his blanket.
The narrator explains that Finland figured that Sweden wasn't bad after all, but simply difficult to communicate with, though he found himself doubting and asking himself that over and over. In the background, Finland laughs nervously while Sweden continues to stare at him.

Trivia
- This episodes marks a full formal debut for Sweden, after a long absence in the anime following his one-liner cameo in Episode 14. He was originally intended to appear in a segment in Episode 33, but it was scrapped for time purposes.
- Though he first appeared with brown hair and eyes in Episode 01 and is shown that way in the ending sequence, his colors were corrected with this episode to give him blond hair and blue eyes (although still slightly different from his manga colors).
- The ending sequence is slightly altered again, to feature Russia in the close up shot of the Allies.
