You guys, there’s a royal wedding and afterward England’s Prince IS VISITING SEYCHELLES!!! Oh, wait, that’s supposed to be a big secret. Pretend you never read that. Just think of studly archangels and cardboard hats instead.

France looks dashing whilst discoursing on the Hundred Years War and Joan of Arc’s tragic, yet beautiful, life. Did I mention how dreamy France’s hair looks when he twirls in the breeze? Well, it does. It really, really does.

Today’s agenda consists of cool diplomatic poses, brothers pumping iron, sneaking into the American camp – and a shared love of hamburgers! BEEFCAKES BEEFCAKES BEEFCAKES!

Japan’s peaceful soak in a nice, hot tub is ruined when America kicks in the window and invites him to a Halloween party – in his room! Also, England summons an old fairy to scare the pants off America. Scary no pants time!

It’s April Fools’ Day and someone is forcing all the countries to dress up in embarrassing costumes! France is suddenly super small, and everyone is up in arms! Except that one guy who lives upstairs from America. I can never remember his name.

Young Greece waxes philosophical about his love of cats, his desire to pet cats, and his hunger for sweets. Then he takes a bath with Turkey. Turkey is super cool. And strong.

This episode explores the intricacies of Romano and Spain’s adorably dysfunctional relationship. Also, somebody keeps peeing in Romano’s bed. He blames a rogue squirrel. But I ain’t buying it.

This episode about France is heavy. It’s deep. There’s a wistful old man and two uncertain young lovers. Right in the middle of it all: ageless France. Is it a blessing or a curse that he stays forever yum? Wait, I meant YOUNG. FOREVER YOUNG. DAT HAIR.

Poor Russia. He had a pretty rough childhood. Everyone picked on him. Even random hamsters totally hated him. Stupid hamsters. Oh, and it turns out that Prussia has always, even as a little kid, been a total di… uh, handful. Come on, you know how he is.

It seems W Academy’s most ridiculous clubs each share the same single member. This member’s identity should not surprise you. Also, HUGE news! A NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN character shows up around two minutes into the episode!

The Axis boys investigate W Academy’s various clubs, including the Gourmet Club, the Witchcraft Club, and the Man, France is Looking REALLY Good Lately Club. Okay, that last one’s not a real thing. But, seriously, France is looking REALLY good lately.

In this episode: throwing stars, sharpened chopsticks, steel tanks, and other super-mega-manly stuff - like, for instance, Germany squatting in a dandelion patch. Also, YOU GUYS, HETALIA’S BACK!

It’s an episode of mistaken identities in more ways than one when Holy Roman Empire and Italy go skinny-dipping. Later, everybody thinks Canada is everybody but Canada!

America’s totally freaked out by scary movies, but due to his heroic inclinations, he refuses to stop watching them! Japan thinks loaning him some horror video games might toughen him up.

America swings by to show Japan a fortune telling game. Later, when the rest of the guys want to celebrate the fact that he’s coming out of his shell, Japan chooses a quiet night at home instead. Big shock, right?
