When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath that I’m a stick it out till the end
You’re part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Ever noticed how similar
the Chibitalia and Holy Rome storyline is to Cinderella?
Because I sure have, and
I honestly wouldn’t put this level of trollness past Hima.
When Ancient Rome died,
Chibitalia, as Northern Italy, fell under Austria’s strict rule. There, he was
subjected to rigorous chores and harsh punishments.
Keep in mind that
Austria’s strictness is exaggerated given how old this strip is. Even so, Chibitalia still shares fond moments with Austria.
“Big Brothers” France and
Spain ruthlessly fight over Romano and Italy as if they were pieces of pie. Again,
their relationship isn’t only tied down to this, I’m just situating this with
regards to the fairytale.
Chibitalia encounters
rats while performing his chores. While they’re not mice specifically, it’s the similar
theme that matters.
Chibitalia is mistaken as a girl by Holy Rome. While Hungary is aware of Italy’s true gender, she
still has him wear fancy and traditional Hungarian dresses.
In other words, Hungary ‘dresses’
Chibitalia up.
There’s no ball here,
nor is there an imminent stroke of midnight in which the plot has its turning
point. Holy Rome would be the fill-in for the prince but the roles reverse
slightly here.
Nonetheless, the scene in which Holy Rome leaves for war is eerily similar to when Cinderella
forgets her glass slipper.
The glass slipper in
this case would either be the push broom (anime) or the underwear (manga) Chibitalia
gives to Holy Rome as a parting gift.
Holy Rome = Germany disbelievers, look away, because you’re
not going to like this…
It pains me to say it, but after hearing all this, how much
do you want to bet that if Germany is ever revealed to be Holy Rome, it’ll have
to do with him still possessing the underwear or push broom?
Just imagine it. Hima could have possibly been trolling and
leading us on for eleven years about an ending so obvious and overstated in popular culture that it’s gone
completely unnoticed.
“@ all your theories”
Ella: Yes! I have this marked down in my notes too! Still, I really appreciate that you took the initiative and time to look into this. Thank you for your excellent contribution, it’s immensely appreciated 🙂
For those wondering where these panels are from, it’s in Comic diary 3, titled “A dream I saw once.”
The other strip that I cited in a previous theory is from Comic Diary 7, titled “No-Good Chibis 2.”
Given the fact that both strips were made relatively close to one another, you can tell that Hima’s really trying to emphasize this idea of repressed memories as a result of conflict and traumatic experiences in early childhood.
Remember that while Freud’s theories may be problematic in many aspects, the importance and relevance here is that Hima is very likely incorporating some of these concepts in his writing.
That’s why I’ll eventually be starting a “Psych-talia” series. You’ll find that a lot of the characterization of the nations falls in line with how Freud classified personality types, especially with regards to the five Psychosexual stages. I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible, though.
If you have a basic understanding of Freud, chances are that you’ll understand the motives for a lot of the nations’ behaviours and personalities. You especially see this with the Italy brothers, Germany, Austria, Hungary, England, and America.
Hundreds of years, you say?
