Reasons to Ship Ameripan:
1. In Nyotalia, though Япония is very good Друзья with England, it is сказал(-а) that she actually is in Любовь with America. (I'm not sure about regular Hetalia, though.)
2. After the bombing on Hiroshima, America helped Япония out, even though America was the one who bombed.
3. To this day, Japanese people often thank Americans for bombing them, because they knew that they wouldn't change if America hadn't done what they did.
4. Japanese tourists are often seen in Hawaii, especially at memorials in Pearl Harbor.
5. American tourists are often seen all over Japan, and especially Hiroshima.
6. Whenever Япония gets into trouble (exp: the Последнее earthquake and tsunami), America is the FIRST to Показать up.
7. After WWII, Япония got rid of their military. America now protects Япония and acts as their military.
8. Япония and America have sister cities: Kanab, UT and Kakamigahara.
9. In one of the Рождество episodes, America сказал(-а) that Рождество would be lonely without Japan...Japan gave in because of America's "guilt tripping face".
10. When America wanted to watch a horror movie, he wanted to watch it with Япония because he was too scared to watch it alone. But...why Japan?
11. While America and Япония were watching the scary movie, America hugged Japan...and Япония made no Переместить to stop him, even though America was being very loud and probably obnoxious. However, when Italy hugged Japan, it was flat out rejection.
12. Япония is always agreeing with America.
13. During the Последнее Хэллоуин episode in Beautiful World, America wanted to scare England, and went straight to Япония for help. Япония willingly helped, even though he doesn't celebrate Halloween...and even though America busted in through his window while Япония was bathing.
14. Again in the Хэллоуин episode, America didn't complain about fixing Japan's window.
15. Япония puts up with America, even though America can be annoying at times.
16. In Japan's song, "Zippangu", Япония says that it's hard to put up with America's crazy "demands". Япония doesn't HAVE to. He isn't under America's rule. He simply CHOOSES to.
17. In the episode of Beautiful World when America and Япония were roommates, America willingly ate the blowfish that Япония wanted him to try, even though it was strange to him.
18. Soon after America and Япония became friends, America goes to Japan's house and brings a fortune-telling game, thinking that he can trick Japan. After Япония tells America how he feels lonely and asks if he will get еще friends, America then feels bad and moves his hands once (meaning yes) to make Япония feel better, and gets excited for Japan.
19. America is probably the only person who can get Япония to actually express his emotions.
20. In the show, America celebrates Рождество with cakes. This is actually false. The Japanese celebrate Рождество with cakes because they think that Americans do.
21. This one is еще personal: When I went to Japan, a local man asked my sister where she was from. Upon hearing that she was an American, he promptly said, "Ah! Япония *holds one hand out*, America *holds his other hand out*, besto Друзья *puts hands together*." (Then promptly began to sing the tune to the American National anthem and, once he finished, saluted my sister. )
22. All of the Япония and America comparisons in Hetalia.
23. They have their own little shorts: "Japan and America"
24. After WWII, contrary to Популярное belief, neither Япония nor America harbors any hatred или bitterness towards the war (in both the Аниме AND real life).
25. Opposites attract! America's energetic and happy personality helps draw Япония out of his shell, while Japan's calm and collected personality helps calm down America's hyper and immature personality.
26. America visits Япония regularly and always invites him to events.
27. In the Хэллоуин strip (not included in the anime), Япония invited America to watch the sakura blossoms bloom in the Spring. Quite romantic, don't Ты think?
28. Япония gave America a game console for his birthday. America сказал(-а) it was a great birthday present.
29. Hawaii has a lot of Japanese influence.
30. Япония and America became allies after WWII.
31. During the time Ronald Reagan and Yasuhiro Nakasone were in office, Япония was firmly on the United State's side whenever the Soviet Union threatened the States. Япония warmly welcomed the US forces because of this, and worked very closely with the US government.
35. The United States requested foreign assistance to countries "considered of strategic importance" to the West. Япония willingly accepted (and the request wasn't directly to Japan. Япония was simply the first to respond the the request).
36. The Japanese government refused to provide large-scale aid efforts to China или Indochina until their conditions were compatible to both Japan's AND the United States' interests.
37. Япония often, and willingly cooperates with the US.
38. Throughout history (after WWII, of course), Япония and the United States worked closely to maintain a strong relationship, even when their relationship seemed a bit shakey.
39. Япония and America share a Любовь for baseball (imported from the US).
40. The United States is Japans biggest economic partner.
41. The United States consistently supported Япония during Japan's various problems with China and Russia. Япония formally thanked the United States for this support.
42. Япония also noted that the US military is important to the peace and security of Japan.
43. There was a pole questioning Japan's opinion on the United States. The options were as follows: very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, или very unfavorable. Japan's answer was "Favorable" throught all years.
44. There was a similar pole questioning Japan's opinion on Americans. They responded with the same answer: "Favorable, all years measured".
45. Again, another pole was taken, but this time for Japan's opinion on America's choice in media. The options this time were like или dislike. Japan's choice was "Like, all years measured".
45. Another pole asked Япония what their thoughts were on American Democracy. Same answer as 45: "Like, all years measured."
46. Most, if not all, Аниме English dubbing studios are located in America. Therefore...America supports Japan's anime! ;D
