There are two versions of Hetalia - In the New World: One performed in Osaka and the other in Tokyo University.
There are also two versions of Hetalia Final Live - A World in the Universe: one performed in Osaka and the other in Makuhari.
Hetalia - The Fantastic World was very difficult to find and I have yet to see an uploaded version. The Japanese streaming site U-Next probably needs a VPN and a paid (?) account to stream said musical.
For the site bilibili, if you have trouble using it on your browser you can download the app and then try to open it from there. You can turn off the text zooming across the video by clicking on the first TV icon on the bottom of the video player.
Remember, Google translate is your friend if you can't navigate any of the sites. I don't know Japanese or Chinese so unfortunately I won't be of any help navigating some of these sites.
I forgot which game I listed or why I even had the link or how to play it, but there it is i guess.

Hey. Hi. The Flamengers all represent different ways that Masayoshi experiences love;
Soichi/Blue;
Admiration, a love of other heroes and a wish to be like them. Also, a lack of family (so in this case... a lack of love?).
Hekiru/Green;
Knowledge and Fans. They both have extensive knowledge on a subject that they love, as well as a big fanbase.
Anji/Black;
Family, a good relationship with his grandfather (before he passed, in Masayoshi's case).
Sakura/Pink;
Being in love with a man who's already taken. Adultery :)
Unlike in fanon depiction, Germany’s anger isn’t senseless and inherently driven by aggression. While Germany’s short temper may have originated from aggression, having been reared in a hostile environment, his anger later shifts to an expression of frustrated confusion.
What this post will also explore is how Germany gets in touch with his kinder, softer, and sentimental side, as well as his troubles in expressing this aspect of his person.
Where did his temper originate?
To understand why Germany was so aggressive and angry, it’s important to situate his life.
Germany’s childhood was not a healthy one. He was reared in an atmosphere of constant war, hostility, and aggression. As such, he didn’t learn how to trust and form healthy relationships with others, but rather, he learned to view others with distrust and suspicion.
Ex: When Germany first meets Italy as enemies in WW1, notice how suspicious, paranoid, and hostile he is of Italy. Regardless of the fact that they’re in a war, Germany’s reactions here are over the top.
Likewise, when Germany became frustrated with Italy, he would use physical force. His childhood was primal in that the use of physical force was wrongfully normalized.
Ex: Germany would put Italy into headlocks when he fell out of line.
What you’ll see is that as Germany’s relationship with Italy deepened into a true friendship, Germany not only learns how to be receptive toward others, but his temper diminishes significantly. He still has a short fuse, although in no way does he see aggression – verbal or physical – as an appropriate method of communicating.
Ex: He begins hugging Italy, albeit being confused by this.
How his temper changed:
As mentioned above, Germany’s friendship with Italy changed him dramatically. Italy was the first person that indirectly taught Germany what a healthy relationship entails.
To put things into perspective, Germany’s understanding of relationships was so warped from his past that he needed Austria to clarify what his relationship with Italy was.
Before asking this, he had also bought a manual on relationships.
The running gag of Buon San Valentino is that Germany panics over whether Italy is his friend or “partner.” It’s a big misunderstanding on his part.
What’s important here is that as Germany confronts his relationship with Italy, he comes to realize how he had normalized hostile relationships. His relationship with Italy confused him because he hadn’t been used to experiencing something so pleasant or “fun.”
Additionally, Italy causes Germany to experience emotions that he’s never felt before. He never felt anxiety on the battlefield, meanwhile, his friendship with Italy causes him to experience it. Even more extreme, is that he’s uncertain if what he experiences with Italy is happiness.
How I interpret this is that war was something that Germany was used to; receiving unequivocal affection was foreign and strange to him, which would explain why it produced so much panic and confusion. Similarly, happiness was not something he had learned. He’s experiencing it for the first time.
The last thing I want to mention here is how Germany’s anger shifts to a frustration over being confused.
As Germany experiences these new emotions – confusion, shame, happy, and heartbeat– he gets angry as a result of his inability to process/ handle them properly.
Ex: Germany getting mad at Italy for flirting with girls, as he had mistakenly perceived their dinner to be a date. The ellipses are extremely important here as it demonstrates how overwhelmed he is.
These new emotions make him feel vulnerable and confused, resulting in him losing his composure. For someone as ordered as Germany, losing this sense of composure is terrifying, especially since he doesn’t like to show weakness.
This refusal to show weakness still persists in modern times. Perhaps this is yet another link to his do-or-die war-ridden past – it’s a primal instinct.
Ex: I find it interesting that when Germany experiences confusion at Italy’s behaviour, it’s his mind that explodes.
Ex: When Germany’s misunderstanding is taken a step further and he proposes to Italy, the shame of the event is enough to cause him to blackout. We are then introduced to a pan-in on his brain, which reveals another surplus of emotions that Germany is experiencing for the first time.
The progress in Germany’s character, then, is that as Italy inadvertently helps Germany learn how to form trusting relationships, Germany’s inherent hostility and distrust of others disappears. This is especially the case following both world wars, as he no longer has to keep up his guard.
Another problem that Germany faced was that even when he attempted to reciprocate Italy’s affection, he came across as angry and intimidating.
Ex: Germany scares Italy just by asking him if he’s all right after a training session and if he needs anything to drink. Italy interprets this as Germany being angry with him.
Germany’s softer side and his difficulty in expressing it:
The irony with Germany is that even though he learned how to get over the majority of his anger and hostility, he has trouble expressing himself.
While he may have mellowed out and calmed down considerably…
…he still comes off as angry and troubled to others.
On top of that, he also has trouble smiling. It’s something that doesn’t come naturally to him. Just like he read a manual on relationships, he’s once shown to be reading a manual on how to smile properly. It’s something that he’s still working on and isn’t very easy to undo. Point is, he’s trying.
Ex: He still has difficulty receiving praise from others.
That said, I want to end this by pointing out that however poorly Germany expresses himself, his actions are what is truly important in proving how sweet and considerate he is.
Ex: He loves his dogs.
Ex: He loves baking, especially with friends.
Ex: He’ll come to his friends’ aid without any question or deliberation, no matter how ridiculous the request.
Ex: He worries about others more than himself. This is especially relevant when you consider that he’s pretty much holding up the EU.
All in all, to portray Germany as a strictly angry character doesn’t do his personality any justice.
Yes, he may have been an angry and hostile character, but you have to situate that with his childhood and understand that he’s evolved past his initial distrust of others. Germany has always been an inherently kind person – all it took was another person, Italy, to bring this side out of him.
It’s a tedious process, but Germany’s slowly opening himself up more and more as the strips progress. For a person who was born in a primal environment, of course it’s going to take some emotional priming before he’s truly ready to show all sides of himself.
Cheap tools, mistakes everywhere, Great love and Joy 🥰
Recently I have been re-watching Samurai Flamenco with full attention for like 3 times ( plus 2 times in the past ) and more times watching since I am picking various things each time with more understanding and feelings, I have fully come to love the series, the character, everything it has to offer, stir so much in me.
Busy days/ busy life, difficulties in many aspects of my life. I eventually had to give up all precious simple and luxurious art tools of many kinds which were carefully choosen and compiled for a long time .... And I wasn't allowed to draw openly due to endless reasons...
SamFlam moved my heart and mind, and so my inner passion for drawing/ coloring/ creating things a great deal...
I only have a black lining pen left , combine with borrowed cheap colored pencils and some sheets of paper.
Despite all the mistakes, lack of tools, pigments and time ,
I drew them with Happiness and Love, moments filled with long lost Joy welcome my heart. Thank you for existing....
P/S: Masayoshi is a Libra ♎️ officially ( we are Libra buddies yayy 😆) , but Goto is unknown, according to fan it is May 10th, does that mean he is a Taurus ♉️? I love him and him so much 🥰
P/S 2: not much time to draw, let alone pour my thoughts on myriad things I have noticed and loved in this series....Maybe later...
because i'm going through an intense samurai flamenco resurgence, i decided to re-translate all of the masagoto conversations from the mobile game and put them in one post! most of them are basically the same as they once were, just reworded for clarity or flow, but there were a few that were outright incorrect that i will go back and edit into the original posts. eventually, i'd like to re-translate the ones between masayoshi and mari as well as between mari and goto, but i don't have the original text for those on hand!
i managed to find some voice clips from the mobile game as well, and while some of them are buried in my translation tag, some of them are new to me so maybe one day i'll post them too! for now, this is all i have the energy to do.
i've vaguely organized the conversations by topic, but all of them are special because it's masayoshi and goto talking to each other... big love.
TRAINING
Masayoshi: I've been doing really well lately!
Goto: Be careful, you're the type of person to mess it up when you're at your peak.
Masayoshi: Please don't be mean!
Goto: But am I wrong?
Masayoshi: …no, you're not…
Goto: Hey, it looks like I've gotten a little stronger.
Masayoshi: Congratulations, Goto-san! How much more until you become the number one officer?
Goto: That's not how the police force works!
Masayoshi: I'm really starting to see the results of my training.
Goto: You're getting hit less?
Masayoshi: I've become able to withstand Ishihara-san's punishment!
Goto: Wait, there?!
Goto: I've been feeling pretty good lately.
Masayoshi: That must be the results of your training!
Goto: I haven't been doing any training, idiot!
Masayoshi: I've gotten a lot stronger!
Goto: But you shouldn't try doing everything by yourself. You know you can rely on me, right?
Goto: You people are always going on about "training."
Masayoshi: Training is essential for a hero! You train too, don't you, Goto-san?
Goto: I do not. What I do is just plain hard work.
Masayoshi: Hard work is also essential!
Masayoshi: I've gotten a lot stronger!
Goto: Good for you. Seems like all that training is working for you.
Masayoshi: Yes, but I'm not done yet!
Goto: All right, seems like I've gotten a little stronger.
Masayoshi: Congratulations! I need to be careful not to fall behind.
Goto: Aren't you way past me already?
Masayoshi: Th—that's not true! I still have a lot of work to do!
CURRY
Masayoshi: Goto-san, you like pickled radish with your curry, don't you?
Goto: Yeah. It just feels like they go together in my mind.
Masayoshi: Then, what about rakkyou (pickled scallions)?
Goto: I'd eat them if I had them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make them.
Masayoshi: What do you usually eat during work?
Goto: I usually just grab whatever I'm feeling like at the moment.
Masayoshi: And what do you feel like eating now?
Goto: …talking to you makes me crave curry…
Goto: So, why do we only ever eat curry?
Masayoshi: Heroes mean curry, and curry means heroes!
Goto: Okay, but I'm not really trying to be a hero or anything.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, there's a hero inside of all of us.
Goto: You're dropping that line now?
Goto: Even though we're always eating the same thing, I somehow never get tired of it.
Masayoshi: That's because the taste of instant curry changes slightly depending on the manufacture date!
Goto: What?!
Masayoshi: Yes, it's always getting better!
Goto: Wait, why are YOU proud of it?
Goto: Do you ever cook at home?
Masayoshi: I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I can't cook at all.
Goto: So that's how it is. As for me, I can't really make anything but curry.
Masayoshi: But that's amazing! Please cook for me sometime!
Goto: Yeah, yeah, if I feel like it.
Goto: Where do you usually buy your curry?
Masayoshi: Sometimes I buy it from the supermarket, but I usually order it online.
Goto: So that's why you never run out.
Masayoshi: I'm prepared to have curry at any time!
Goto: You really love curry, don't you?
Masayoshi: Yes. Of course part of it is due to my love of heroes, but my grandfather also often made it for me when I was a kid.
Goto: Oh, really…
Masayoshi: Yes, so I suppose it's nostalgic for me.
Goto: What's your diet like?
Masayoshi: Well, I eat curry at home, and at work I get something from the convenience store.
Goto: That sounds pretty unhealthy.
Masayoshi: Don't worry! Ishihara-san makes sure to keep me on track.
Goto: Oh, well, that's fine then.
Goto: You're a model who loves curry. That's gotta be tough.
Masayoshi: It's not too bad.
Goto: But curry has a lot of calories, doesn't it?
Masayoshi: Whenever I eat too much curry, Ishihara-san puts me on a special diet.
Goto: …………what do you mean?
Masayoshi: …um, let's just say it destroys your appetite for a while.
DAILY LIFE
Goto: What's wrong? You look down.
Masayoshi: Yeah… things aren't going well for me.
Goto: Look, I'll watch something with you, so cheer up.
Masayoshi: At a time like this, the only solution is the Harakiri Sunshine movie!
Goto: Where'd that energy come from?
Masayoshi: I'd like to go on a trip the next time we're both free.
Goto: I think if I went somewhere with you, it'd be nothing but trouble.
Masayoshi: But wouldn't that make a fun memory?
Masayoshi: What do you think I could do if I wasn't a model?
Goto: I dunno, a cheerleader?
Masayoshi: I don't think that's a career.
Goto: Then a golf caddy?
Masayoshi: In other words, I'm loud?
Goto: Your grandmother was a flamenco dancer, right?
Masayoshi: Yes, so I believe that's where my grandfather got the "Flamenco" part from.
Goto: Does that mean he's the "Samurai" part?
Masayoshi: Of course not. But it does seem like "Hazama" is a samurai family name.
Goto: Wow…
Masayoshi: Goto-san, would you like to watch a DVD? Maybe a Blu-Ray? Or how about a Laser Disc?
Goto: Don't give me that housewifey 'would you like a meal? A bath? Or maybe…?' garbage!
Masayoshi: If I had to compare Goto-san to an animal…
Goto: Do NOT say dog!
Masayoshi: Do you have some history with dogs?
Goto: Now that I think of it, I lost a day off because of you.
Masayoshi: Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
Goto: Well, when I remembered it, I got pissed off.
Masayoshi: Please remember my apology too and forgive me already!
Goto: So, what was your first impression of me?
Masayoshi: Hmm… "he should stop smoking in non-smoking areas."
Masayoshi: What was your first impression of me?
Goto: A naked pervert.
Masayoshi: …please tell me what you thought after I properly introduced myself.
Goto: A pain in the ass.
Masayoshi: You thought of me that way…?
Goto: What? That WAS my first impression.
Masayoshi: Omawari-san wa~
Goto: What's that song?
Masayoshi: It's "Inu no Policeman!"
Goto: What's with that title?!
Masayoshi: I don't know, but Flamenco Diamond was singing it the other day.
Goto: Ugh, I feel sick…
Goto: What would you do if you found 1 million yen?
Masayoshi: I'd take it to the police station.
Goto: Well, yeah, I guess you would…
Masayoshi: Of course!
Goto: What would you do if you found 100 yen?
Masayoshi: I'd take it to the police station.
Goto: What, even though it's just 100 yen?
Masayoshi: What if the person who lost that 100 yen desperately needed it back?!
Masayoshi: Goto-san, you're actually very strong, aren't you?
Goto: What do you mean by "actually"? I'm a police officer, so I can do kendo and judo.
Masayoshi: What kind of special attacks do you have?
Goto: If we're going with that, wouldn't every officer have to know them?
Masayoshi: What do you want for your birthday, Goto-san?
Goto: I dunno, a day off?
Masayoshi: That's not much of a dream.
Goto: Fine, then I want to live a peaceful life.
Masayoshi: Let's make that dream a reality!
Goto: What do you want for your birthday?
Masayoshi: When I was younger, I would have asked for hero merchandise, but now I want world peace!
Goto: I can't do that.
Masayoshi: That was a joke! But let's work on building peace together.
Masayoshi: Are you a good driver, Goto-san?
Goto: As a police officer, I have to prioritize safety.
Masayoshi: Recently, my occupational disease has been flaring up…
Goto: Occupational disease? From being a model?
Masayoshi: When I get my picture taken, I can't help but strike a hero pose…
Goto: Oh, that's what you meant?
Masayoshi: It's very serious!
Goto: So how was it, being chased all over town?
Masayoshi: I never expected such a thing to happen to me!
Goto: Well, you did have a bounty on your head.
Masayoshi: I was worried you were going to sell me out…
Goto: As a police officer, that would have looked bad.
Masayoshi: "As a police officer"?!
Masayoshi: The police are always taking care of me.
Goto: Let's just hope we never have to "take care" of you in a different way.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, why did you choose to become a police officer?
Goto: Well, you know… a few reasons.
Masayoshi: Because you love justice?
Goto: Don't lump me in with you.
Goto: So, I've been thinking, and aren't you the one who's causing trouble for everyone?
Masayoshi: What is that supposed to mean?
Goto: Well, I've been swamped at work since the moment I met you.
Masayoshi: But maybe that just means I'VE had a lot to do since I met YOU!
Goto: No, it started when you became Samurai Flamenco.
Masayoshi: Hmmm hm hm~ Hmm~
Goto: What are you doing?
Masayoshi: I'm doing maintenance on my equipment!
Goto: As hardworking as ever, huh?
Masayoshi: Hmmm hm hm~ Hmm~
Goto: What are you doing?
Masayoshi: I'm sorting my collection!
Goto: There's a ton of stuff here…
Masayoshi: Don't you see a lot of scenes in manga where people become friends after punching each other?
Goto: I don't really get it myself.
Masayoshi: If that's the case, shouldn't I have many more friends?
Goto: In your case, you're just getting punched.
Masayoshi: I suppose it's important to talk with our hearts before our fists…
Goto: I think that's better for you.
Masayoshi: About how many texts do you send a day, Goto-san?
Goto: Huh? Only when I've got some free time, so not that often.
Masayoshi: But you're really fast about replying.
Goto: I do have a habit of checking my messages, at least.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, that's not burnable garbage! That's non-burnable!
Goto: Oh, oops. Thanks.
Masayoshi: There's no need to thank me. Separating garbage can be difficult.
Goto: You do your recyclables too?
Masayoshi: Of course!
Goto: Every household needs a person like you.
Goto: So, what do you do in your free time?
Masayoshi: I work out or watch DVDs!
Masayoshi: Goto-san, what do you do in your free time?
Goto: I usually just have a smoke or text my girlfriend.
Goto: Why don't we watch a movie once in a while?
Masayoshi: Which would you prefer, Red Axe or Harakiri Sunshine?
Goto: I said "movie."
Masayoshi: I heard you, so which theatrical release would you prefer to watch?
Goto: Why are my only options hero movies?!
Goto: Which is more important to you, modeling or Samurai Flamenco?
Masayoshi: Both, but if I had to choose, it would have to be Samurai Flamenco.
Goto: But no matter how hard Samurai Flamenco works, he doesn't get paid.
Masayoshi: Being a hero isn't about money! It's the path I chose from childhood.
Goto: I have to admit, your determination is impressive.
Goto: I get pissed off whenever I compare the size of our places.
Masayoshi: Well, it's not really "mine." It's from the agency.
Goto: It's still not fair.
Masayoshi: Then, would you like to use half of it?
Goto: I can use the whole thing since we're always together anyway.
Masayoshi: That's quite selfish of you.
Goto: Why am I surrounded by freaks?
Masayoshi: Birds of a feather flock together, as they say!
Goto: Shut up! You're THE "bird"!
Masayoshi: Then that makes us "together"!
(This one needs a little explanation. "Birds of a feather" in Japanese is "類は友を呼ぶ," directly and awkwardly translated as "a [specific] type calls its friends." Goto accuses Masayoshi of being the textbook example of "a [specific] type" and Masayoshi returns by saying Goto is the textbook example of "[his] friend.")
Goto: Ever since I met you, it feels like it's been nothing but losing tickets.
Masayoshi: Really? I feel like meeting you was like winning the lottery!
Goto: …shut up, you stupid optimist.
Masayoshi: I mean it!
HEROES
Masayoshi: I wish I could shoot beams too…
Goto: Don't be a nuisance.
Masayoshi: Get ready for my special attack! Flamenco Beam!
Goto: Seems like something that would make your opponent start dancing…
Masayoshi: I wish I could shoot beams too…
Goto: Don't be a nuisance.
Masayoshi: Get ready for my special attack! Flamenco Beam!
Goto: You're like a foreigner who doesn't understand Japan at all.
Goto: Hey, just wondering, but is it really okay for a hero to be wandering around in the middle of the night?
Masayoshi: W—Well, it's for the sake of peace.
Goto: But the phrase is early to bed, early to rise, right?
Masayoshi: That's more like health advice…
Goto: So, how do evil armies build their bases?
Masayoshi: By forcing the citizens to work.
Goto: Can regular citizens really build a base like that?
Masayoshi: Then I guess they have to find some really talented construction workers…
Goto: Sounds pretty tough…
Masayoshi: What kind of cybernetic surgery would you like to have, Goto-san?
Goto: I don't want cybernetic surgery in the first place.
Masayoshi: But it's a must for any hero…
Goto: So once the city is peaceful, will your work be done?
Masayoshi: Here, yes, but there could always be evil lurking elsewhere in the world.
Goto: What, so you're planning to go on a journey?
Masayoshi: I don't know yet. I can't be sure of what I'll do until the time comes.
Goto: Ishihara-san will get pissed at you.
Masayoshi: I do get the feeling I'll never escape…
Goto: It's time to give up Samurai Flamenco.
Masayoshi: Goto-san…
Goto: …or else I'll have to get serious about chasing you down.
Masayoshi: ……that absolutely sounded like a line from a show.
Goto: ………….can you listen when people are talking?
Masayoshi: These days, it's standard practice for a hero to upgrade their costume as they get stronger.
Goto: Huh, I guess so… interesting.
Masayoshi: My suit is cool, right?
Goto: It's lame.
Masayoshi: Um, I'll assume for the sake of argument that you mean "it's lame in a cool way."
Goto: Not "it's cool in a lame way"?
Masayoshi: That's just an insult.
Goto: So, are all heroes rich?
Masayoshi: Of course not.
Goto: But they have bases and weapons and stuff, right?
Masayoshi: Well, yes, but that's due to the support of people around them…
Goto: Isn't that a little too convenient?
Masayoshi: It's just typical!
Goto: In the end, don't most fights get resolved through force?
Masayoshi: Please don't be so blunt about it. It's just what happens after everything else has been exhausted.
Goto: Isn't there some hero out there that can talk a monster down?
Masayoshi: …some monsters don't have ears.
Goto: Isn't THAT being blunt?
Goto: You haven't been able to give up on this hero thing for years, huh?
Masayoshi: Yes, I've been preparing all this time.
Goto: So why now?
Masayoshi: Something in my body was screaming, "it's time!"
Goto: You just felt like it?!
Masayoshi: It was my heart of justice, crying out to be released!
Masayoshi: I wonder where heroes are supposed to park their motorcycles…
Goto: In the parking lot, right?
Masayoshi: That doesn't feel right.
Goto: Okay, so then, the motorcycle runs on its own, and then it comes to the hero when it's called.
Masayoshi: It's not a horse!
Goto: If you think about it, all those hero weapons and stuff are a violation of the Sword and Firearms Act, aren't they?
Masayoshi: Well, yes…
Goto: Which means you can't use swords or guns, okay?
Masayoshi: It's okay! My weapons are stationery.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, isn't it about time you joined the team?
Goto: Don't ask me like it's some casual thing. I'm not going to do it.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, won't you join us in the fight against evil?
Goto: Just because you made it serious doesn't mean I'm going to say yes!
Goto: The evil army doesn't attack while the heroes are transforming, huh.
Masayoshi: Well, I think it's because they do it really quickly, or maybe they go out of reach…
Goto: Huh. Being a hero sounds tough.
Masayoshi: I think it's even harder for people who can't transform.
Goto: Why don't you get a motorcycle?
Masayoshi: I did consider it, but there are various issues with parking and one-way streets…
Goto: What a grounded problem to have.
Masayoshi: Real life is different from fiction.
Masayoshi: Goto-san, let's have a strategy meeting!
Goto: Oka—wait, don't try to trick me into saying yes to your freaky plans!
Masayoshi: But what if it's just a little?
Goto: Even a little is too much! I'll never get back out!
OTHER PEOPLE
Masayoshi: I had a terrible dream about Ishihara-san last night…
Goto: What did you do?
Masayoshi: I asked her to become Samurai Flamenco with me…
Goto: Dream-you is kind of a reckless idiot, huh?
Masayoshi: But you did it with me!
Goto: What was I doing there?!
Goto: Is Ishihara-san really that scary?
Masayoshi: Goto-san, have you ever had a woman dig her talons into your face?
Goto: Ugh, nevermind, I get it…
Masayoshi: You know, Ishihara-san really likes cats.
Goto: Really? I didn't expect that.
Masayoshi: And if you add ~nyan to your sentences, she'll forgive you for anything!
Goto: That one's definitely a lie!
Masayoshi: I'm telling the truth!
Goto: Is MMM really that popular?
Masayoshi: Yes, it seems like they have a truly enthusiastic fanbase.
Goto: It's scary to think they don't know what Mari is really like.
Masayoshi: Yes, I agree…
Masayoshi: Shishou is such a wonderful person!
Goto: I think he's pretty fishy.
Masayoshi: What do you mean?! He's the famous Kaname Jouji!
Goto: Yeah, no, that's exactly why!
GIRLFRIEND
Masayoshi: Goto-san, do you ever fight with your girlfriend?
Goto: Yeah, sometimes. We usually make up within the week, though.
Masayoshi: "An occasional argument is the sign of a healthy relationship," right?
Goto: Hmm… more like "we're so close that we're not afraid to go all out."
Masayoshi: Goto-san, what's your type?
Goto: My girlfriend.
Masayoshi: And what is your girlfriend like?
Goto: Like I'd tell you!
Masayoshi: Huh…?
Goto: Why do so many freaks like me?
Masayoshi: That's not true.
Goto: You're the freakiest of freaks, so you don't get to say anything.
Masayoshi: Then, what about your girlfriend?!
Goto: She just has a unique worldview!
Masayoshi: (Isn't that what you call being a freak…?)
Masayoshi: Goto-san, if you had to choose between your work and your girlfriend, which would you choose?
Goto: My girlfriend, duh.
Masayoshi: No hesitation, huh?
Goto: Of course not.
Masayoshi: You know, you can invite your girlfriend over any time.
Goto: No way. I can't risk the flirting.
Masayoshi: I would never flirt with your girlfriend, Goto-san!
Goto: No, I mean her.
Masayoshi: Your girlfriend would flirt with me?!
"Earnestly honorable and sincerely straightforward! He's big and tough, but he's very caring"
"Himaruya-sensei's World☆Tour
He is very serious and gets pushed around by Italy. For a while, all I did was constantly make him sweat, so now I want to let him have some fun."
Italy: "Whenever I'm in trouble, I immediately turn to Germany."
"He and Italy have a very troubling relationship, so he tends to take care of him. And, he's confident in his ability to drive a car. Therefore, if he picks Italy up, he'll also drive him home, no matter what!"
(TL note: The book uses "kusareen" (undesirable but inseparable relationship) again here for Germany and Italy's relationship but this time with hiragana くされ縁 instead of kanji 腐れ縁. Usually that's for emphasis, implying this is less 'toxic' and more 'super pathetic', I think)
"Leave the Cleaning to Me
There are a lot of untidy people around. If Germany sees a messy house, he wants to clean it up, so immediately he comes to the scene!"
"Favors and Regret...
He tends to be asked for troublesome favors, but he can't say no because he likes people. However, there's a pattern of him regretting having accepted the request."
I am almost positive that it's because he's been drawn writing with his left hand while other characters have been drawn writing with their right, but I'm not sure whether it's in the manga as well or just the anime? Also merch is certainly not definitive canon, but I went looking for a good screencap of it and found a promo picture for his Nendoroid that also shows him holding a pen with his left hand, which is fun.
