A run-down of different perceptions
and common disputes over canon material.

Can England really not swim? 

It’s taken as a fact by
most that England can’t swim. On the other hand, some people are unsure whether
this should be considered canon given that Himaruya made the post in reference
to how British people in horror films stereotypically can’t swim [x].

Teenage Holy Rome? 

It’s a common
understanding that the Holy Rome that appeared in the Christmas 2011 event was
a teenager. The younger Holy Rome that appears in chapter 187 of World Stars
would then be a consistency error…

However, if you really
look at the 2011 version of Holy Rome, he’s too small to be a teenager/
pre-teen. Specifically, look at his size in comparison to Hungary as she holds
him.

His age in 2011
corroborates more with his age in World Stars than it does with old sketches
that depict him more clearly of being of a teenage age.

There’s also the Private Concert strip where Holy Rome is depicted. He seems to match the ages of the 2011 and
World Stars versions [x].

Perhaps what happened
here is that Himaruya decided to make Holy Rome younger in later strips to
better fit some narrative/ plot that we have yet to see unfold.

Human Names?

The human names were
originally posted by Himaruya in response to a fan request. Since he deleted
the yahoo blog these were from, some don’t consider them to be canon despite
their popular usage.
