Chapter 1 of World Stars is crucial in establishing the
rules of nationhood.

The strip outlines how personifications can live for a few
days or several centuries, can disappear unexpectedly, can change their names
and personalities, and if they’ve died, a single person’s memory has the
potential to bring them back.

It would follow, then, that this strip also opens the
possibility for reincarnation/ resurrection.

Either way, sounds pretty simple, right?

That’s how it’s supposed to be.

What’s frustrating is that there’s a massive hint in this
strip that’s so simple, it’s pretty much gone unnoticed. Knowing Hima, he 100%
did this on purpose – just to troll with us.

The answer that, yes,
Germany is in fact Holy Rome has already been revealed, albeit not explicitly. At least, in my opinion.

Now, I want you to look at the first panel again. It says: “They
can live for a few days or for several centuries.”

Okay. Take note of how the being in this panel has an
inverse form.

The one who’s upright has a similar hairstyle to Holy Rome (and Germany). Still, we see Holy Rome with his hair down more.

Meanwhile, let’s flip this image.

Boom. It’s the military hat that gives Germany away.

There’s also the cloak worn by the being on top that could be a reference to Holy Rome.

Take what you want from this, but for Hima to possibly include Germany and Holy Rome
in a strip where they’re literally mirror images of each other pretty much confirms
to me that Germany was reincarnated from Holy Rome.

If that’s the case, then Holy Rome kept his promise and
eventually came back to Italy.

Happy Valentine’s Day~!
