Hey Japan, you like to use those throwing stars

whenever you fight, don't you?

Eh?

Can I see a ninja throwing ninja throwing stars?

Can I? Per favore?

Shuriken? Really?

Germany wants to see ninja stars, too!

Uh, Ninja--?

Ja. I suppose. Show me.

Germany looks so happy right now!

German ninja movies are very popular, to Germans.

Germany.

I hate to be bearer of bad news, but we said we'd be honest, so.

Intruders!

After him!

Ninja!

Ooohh!

Unlike in the movies, throwing stars do not fly or stick.

It is highly unlikely that they will even hit their target,

so they're rather unreliable as a weapon.

I was unaware of this.

Sharpened chopsticks are far more better

because you can throw them with precision

and also they are good for stabbing things.

Nein. Lies.

Stars still look cooler.

Piacere! Piacere!

War historically leads to shortages

in items such as rubber, metal, and nylon.

In this particular wartime tragedy,

they've run out of coffee.

Germany! Austria's angry face gives me nightmares;

and now I'm afraid to go to sleep.

Well.

What did you expect, dumkopf?

We are completely out of coffee.

I know.

That's why you have to do something!

We don't have what we don't have.

Have faith; you can do anything!

I believe in you!

No way!

I believe in you.

No way!

"I believe in you."

That gets me every time.

So true; it gets him every time.

Germany tried to find a substitute for coffee.

Wha...!

Here we go, Italy; this is a coffee made from dandelions.

Do you love it?

You're so amazing, Germany! Wow.

It's been so long, I almost forgot what it tasted like.

All this from a pretty flower?

Ja, and it's more nutritious than real coffee.
