Reasons to Ship Ameripan:
1. In Nyotalia, though Giappone is very good Friends with England, it is detto that she actually is in Amore with America. (I'm not sure about regular Hetalia, though.)
2. After the bombing on Hiroshima, America helped Giappone 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 Giappone gets into trouble (exp: the recente earthquake and tsunami), America is the FIRST to mostra up.
7. After WWII, Giappone got rid of their military. America now protects Giappone and acts as their military.
8. Giappone and America have sister cities: Kanab, UT and Kakamigahara.
9. In one of the Natale episodes, America detto that Natale 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 Giappone because he was too scared to watch it alone. But...why Japan?
11. While America and Giappone were watching the scary movie, America hugged Japan...and Giappone made no sposta to stop him, even though America was being very loud and probably obnoxious. However, when Italy hugged Japan, it was flat out rejection.
12. Giappone is always agreeing with America.
13. During the recente Halloween episode in Beautiful World, America wanted to scare England, and went straight to Giappone for help. Giappone willingly helped, even though he doesn't celebrate Halloween...and even though America busted in through his window while Giappone was bathing.
14. Again in the Halloween episode, America didn't complain about fixing Japan's window.
15. Giappone puts up with America, even though America can be annoying at times.
16. In Japan's song, "Zippangu", Giappone says that it's hard to put up with America's crazy "demands". Giappone 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 Giappone were roommates, America willingly ate the blowfish that Giappone wanted him to try, even though it was strange to him.
18. Soon after America and Giappone became friends, America goes to Japan's house and brings a fortune-telling game, thinking that he can trick Japan. After Giappone tells America how he feels lonely and asks if he will get più friends, America then feels bad and moves his hands once (meaning yes) to make Giappone feel better, and gets excited for Japan.
19. America is probably the only person who can get Giappone to actually express his emotions.
20. In the show, America celebrates Natale with cakes. This is actually false. The Japanese celebrate Natale with cakes because they think that Americans do.
21. This one is più 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! Giappone *holds one hand out*, America *holds his other hand out*, besto Friends *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 Giappone and America comparisons in Hetalia.
23. They have their own little shorts: "Japan and America"
24. After WWII, contrary to popolare belief, neither Giappone nor America harbors any hatred o bitterness towards the war (in both the Anime AND real life).
25. Opposites attract! America's energetic and happy personality helps draw Giappone out of his shell, while Japan's calm and collected personality helps calm down America's hyper and immature personality.
26. America visits Giappone regularly and always invites him to events.
27. In the Halloween strip (not included in the anime), Giappone invited America to watch the sakura blossoms bloom in the Spring. Quite romantic, don't te think?
28. Giappone gave America a game console for his birthday. America detto it was a great birthday present.
29. Hawaii has a lot of Japanese influence.
30. Giappone and America became allies after WWII.
31. During the time Ronald Reagan and Yasuhiro Nakasone were in office, Giappone was firmly on the United State's side whenever the Soviet Union threatened the States. Giappone 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. Giappone willingly accepted (and the request wasn't directly to Japan. Giappone was simply the first to respond the the request).
36. The Japanese government refused to provide large-scale aid efforts to China o Indochina until their conditions were compatible to both Japan's AND the United States' interests.
37. Giappone often, and willingly cooperates with the US.
38. Throughout history (after WWII, of course), Giappone and the United States worked closely to maintain a strong relationship, even when their relationship seemed a bit shakey.
39. Giappone and America share a Amore for baseball (imported from the US).
40. The United States is Japans biggest economic partner.
41. The United States consistently supported Giappone during Japan's various problems with China and Russia. Giappone formally thanked the United States for this support.
42. Giappone 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, o 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 o dislike. Japan's choice was "Like, all years measured".
45. Another pole asked Giappone what their thoughts were on American Democracy. Same answer as 45: "Like, all years measured."
46. Most, if not all, Anime English dubbing studios are located in America. Therefore...America supports Japan's anime! ;D
