  • 中国兄貴かっけーッス!

  • i love you too china!

  • 2:25 !!!(^o^)

  • @Nyro888

    I'm Chinese and I honestly don't see what's wrong with Hetalia. And China is not portrayed as weak, or else China would've never permitted for China as a character to appear in Hetalia, just like with Korea.

  • What a lovely language~!

  • @memory08721 No,it is not a sad song~

  • I do love you China!

  • @WackMackMormonMama

    After China Redos Alfreds Drawings, Alfred Noticed China Portrait Of Him Self Is More Feminine So He Says "China Your A Chick!?". Lol me and my stupid responses.

  • WackMackMormonMama

    Alfred says " China Your A Chick!?" Lol I Love That episode.

  • the song sounds so sad

  • lol Hong Kong looks like he thinks China is crazy for buying all those pandas for no apparent reason at 1:23

  • ahh! China is so cute! ^w^

  • love this song ^_^ proud to be part chinese ^_^

  • When I first say china I was like...finally a girl! Turns out he was a dude... -_-*

  • @hollyleaf122 china is a girl

  • @khat31able Nope, China is a man~

  • @khat31able lol china's a dude

  • @SmilingAwesomness but i saw an episode (dont remember which) it said china was girl guess il have to watch em all again

  • @khat31able Then that must have been a bad sub XD ^^

  • @SkadiPirate lol it was the funamation dub but i think its because the voice of china is a girl that i got it confused

  • @khat31able lol xD i don't remember that but I used to be like, is he a girl or a boy. I asked my friend and she got all offended (have no idea why) and she was like "ARE YOU CRAZY?! CHINAS A BOY!!!"

  • @khat31able china's seiyuu is a girl..maybe thats what confused you?

  • @khat31able I think I know which episode you're talking about. The one where America redoes all of the drawings on the chalkboard, and then China redoes them and his is all feminine and America's like "China, you're a girl?!" , right??? That's the only one I can think of. It confused me for the longest time, til I just gave up and said, 'whatever, it was probably just America being dumb again :p'

    LoL, I don't think this helped anything at all, but there's my two cents...

  • @WackMackMormonMama lol it was that episode stupid alfred cofused me

  • @khat31able what is that episode?

  • @WackMackMormonMama did you watch the dub then? because I don't remember anyone asking if he was a girl.

  • @qwertyuiop2661 Yupp. There are a lot of random lines in the dub that aren't in sub, and that was one of 'em. :p

  • Comment removed

  • thats a very lovely song! :'C it reminded me when i was still watching CCTV9! XD

  • Chinese is such a beautiful language! I'm studying Chinese in school and the language, the country, the culture, all of it just fascinates me! :)

  • Character flow chart Himaruya listed China's gender as not sure, I was so confused at that (him being shirtless and lack of breasts, and Him's obession of crossing the poor chara with strong maternal instincts).

    Pfft, maybe he's like a werewolf, his gender switches from male to female every full moon, or century.

  • wo ai ni zhong guo !!!!!!!!!!!! SEXY HOTT :D

  • 好小聲喔== 希望可以換個聲音大一點的MV

    

  • 3:43 scared me

  • I luv Zhonggua. How couldn't I? Without him, who would have raised Nihon

  • @magical11, You're misinterpreting what I said. I never said I was against the way China is portrayed in this anime, I simply don't like it because it portrays China as weak, and naive, which is relatively true considering context. As for China being a cold blooded killing machine, well that's just inaccurate considering in WWII, China is the one getting pummelled.

  • @Nyro888 China is NOT portrayed as weak.

    No how about you go watch Hetalia. And UNDERTSAND the true concept before you go about judging. Oh, and before you call it crap, look at the dark side.

    Don't judge a book by it;s cover. m'kay?

  • Thumbs up for the peeps who think that russia should sing this to china once in a while X3

  • Where did you get pic 0:47 from **?

  • EVERYONE! CHINA IS A FUCKING MAN! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!

    ...Goddamn....

    Ex 1: All the other characters refer to him as a man.

    ex 2: Korea calls him "Aniki", which means "Brother", not "Sister".

    EX 3: Compare him to the other girls in the series- He has a much deeper voice, a more masculine build, (Broad shoulders, no boobs).

    Ex 4: He has a NYOTALIA version. If he was already a girl, his Nyotalia version would be a boy. Get it?

    I hope all the dumbasses who think he's a girl read this..

  • @Nyro888 If you don't know Hetalia, why are you already judging it?

  • @SkadiPirate I was looking up china on youtube and this is one of the results that came up. It is from this video, that I came to the conclusion of what this anime may be about? Am I wrong?

  • @Nyro888 It's just a fan-video, you can't really tell what a story is really about if you only watch a fan-video. You can watch/read Hetalia to get what it is really about.

    But to answer your question from before: No. Mr Himaruya does not joke about massacres -__- There are just things in life you don't make jokes about.

  • @Nyro888 Dude...show some respect.

    You don't know Hetalia, but then you are saying you "don't like it because China is portrayed weak ". Ehh, how would you know?

    Hetalia is comedy...get over it.

    And if you don't like it, search for something you like and enjoy that. Life's too short to waste your time with stuff you don't like. Cheers.

  • @Nyro888 Whoa, "Japs" is NOT an okay term, it's what the ignorant people of America during the WWs called the Japanese. It's really offensive.

  • @Nyro888 good job 50 cent party, now go get your money from hu jintao

  • @Nyro888 Not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying China shouldn't be portrayed like this, but instead as a cold-hearted killing machine that should be shunned? Then should everyone else honestly. What did you think Germany, USA, Britain, and Japan did during WWII? Twiddle their thumbs? History is bloody. Live with it.

  • @Nyro888 China would not massacre millions of Japs you fucking imbecile! People like you make me sick, China was a strong and prosperious country with a rich culture. It was neither weak or strong, it was a country of peace and has always been! Their military is only for protection and not to be used as an invasion force.

    Just because todays China has a bullying government doesn't mean the country is fucking bad because it isn't! It's a GREAT country! Better then most other nations on earth

  • @SMGJohn Fuck you, you retard, of coarse China has never murdered millions of japs. Can't you fucking read? When did I say the country was rotten, you moron? I am Chinese myself, and I would never look down on my race.

  • @Nyro888 You turned from Nazi to a Neo-Nazi that fast? I'm impressed

  • @Nyro888 lol they potray china as a strong powerful but cocky person because "she" is the oldest but can kick but with using a coooking pan watch the show and you"ll get what im saying

  • @Nyro888

    You sir, need to watch the scene where China PWNS Japan and Germany with a wok. A. FREAKING. WOK.

  • @Nyro888

    China is by no means a "weak" character in the anime Hetalia. He is viewed as the elder brother. Yes, his personality and character design is silly at times, but that does not make a character weak. If we follow your oh so logical assumption of chracters strength based off of design, then these following assumptions also would be made: Harry Potter is a boy therefore he is weak; Frodo is short and stumpy, therefore he is weak.

    P.S. STOP TROOLOLOLLLING : )

  • @angelrate224 you've made your point, but your examples are poor. HP is the main character of the series, so how could he be portrayed negatively? Frodo, I do consider weak because, literally sam and gollum enabled him to be successful in his mission. But I'm not going to debate with you on that one. As for my comment on being 'weak', everyone has their own interpretation of what is weak. All I did was give my first impressions, it doesn't mean that impression won't change.

  • @Nyro888

    Although your question of "how can harry potter the main character be portrayed weak?" seemingly disproves my point, but it does not work in your favor.

    Following your example, China is a main character in Hetalia; therefore, how could he be portrayed negatively?

    Putting that aside, it's not exactly intelligent to prejudge and assume things out of bias, but w/e internet is a "free" country...

    I MEAN, I GUESS.

    (but you're still a troll)

    P.S. My examples are winsome

    I dissentz

  • @angelrate224 Let's not pretend you've never made an early judgment on something, only to change your mind later on......

  • @Nyro888 I sir am an American born Chinese and even though you say '...anime portrays China as weak and naive' everyone is right, you're jumping the gun too quick on this. The way the anime/manga portrays China made me love my ancestors home a lot more.

  • @SnowyIceBunny It's a shame you have to resort to anime to appreciate your ancestral culture....but in your case, I understand, as American media doesn't usually present a flattering image of China.

  • @Nyro888 It's not a shame, I already know my culture and I know it's done pretty dirty things - all culture has. My family is traditional so my parents and grandparents only show me the 'look how great China is.' but never once how China had also fallen during the cultural civil war. That's because America is biased - China is communist while America has a democracy. Regardless, I enjoy the anime because it can show different sides of the country and its people.

  • @Nyro888 dude, u should have gotten a bashing on the head with China's wok

  • @Nyro888

    Actually, it doesn't - it portrays him as strong but preferring to use his power in a different way than murder and attacking others, and someone who has a sense of humor. The author doesn't present things like massacres in a lighthearted way, he actually manages to write an emotional strip. And quite frankly, if you don't want China being portrayed as weak and defenseless, I think Hetalia would be a great anime for you.

  • @Nyro888 acually, hes pretty powerful in the anime...like in real life :/

  • @Nyro888 ok two words for you WATCH IT!!

  • why do i have to be so thoroughly English? XD

  • China's my favorite character <3 This song is so beautiful~~ :3

  • half chinese half english..god i love my roots

  • I am Chinese, even though I wasn't born in China. But this video has made me proud to have ancestors from China, and also it's made me proud to have China as one of my favourite Hetalia characters

  • I had no idea China was called Zhongguo. I think I'll start calling him that now instead of china.

  • にーに! 愛してる!

    

  • Far away from my homeland, for the first time I really miss every inch of land there. Thank you for this video, brillant!

  • ITS CHINA!!! CHINA IS SEXY~~ nuff said..

  • I would wish Yao and Kiku were real ppl<3 but I'm sure I would faint of their beauty if I ever met them! CHINA!! JAPAN!! love u guys^^<3

  • @MalonTheFarmGirl

    i cant believe im joining this argument thing.

    BUT CHINA IS A GUY.

    in ancient china, all of the guys had long hair. except their hair was braided and they were bald in the front. but if china had braided hair and was bald, hed be really ugly. so thats why hes like this. go watch an ancient chinese drama.

    @ThePooeater2

    and i dont get why people feel sorry for them. their communist but they dont really act like communist anymore. ive been to china. its really not that bad.

  • I'm sorry,I like China,but not in real life...I feel sorry for those in China...

  • I am so happy i'm learning Chinese right now, I always loved the culture and everything about the language. I can't wait till i've learned enough to fluently speak it so i can go to China... and sing this song! <3 Love ya Wang!

  • I remember watching this video, then going on to search what series China came from. There on, I found Hetalia! :D

  • Remember when China drew that picture of themself? I think China is a girl. Sticking to it.

  • @MalonTheFarmGirl Nope, China is a man. In his profile by Mr Himaruya it's stated that he's male.

    Also, Hungary was the -first- female character created by Mr Himaruya. And China was created before she was. So yeah, proof enough :D

    I really don't know why everybody thinks he's a girl >_> A lot of male characters have long hair and are dubbed by girls...

  • @SkadiPirate well...if u rlly think abou' it....if China foun' ou' china wa' a grl dey woud b pissed cause in da asian cult. dats an insult so in order 4 China 2 stay off Japans ass dey ha' 2 say china wa' a boy but secretly a grl 2 mak fun of 'dem......beleive wat u want but i say china is a grl 4 many reasons, u hav 2 b a grl 2 rlly c it(if u r a grl no affence), lik not all grls hav big busts sum of dem hav small or in sum cases no bust at all, i mean lk at Shuro(Ashi no Ceres)! + i ♥ amechu

  • @ladyknights104 ...sorry, but please can you write English properly? It's hard to read for someone who's native language isn't English...

    Also, who cares if the Chinese politicans find out about Hetalia? They have more serious problems than a funny webcomic...

    Also, yes, I'm a girl and I do understand what you mean but if you'd know Hetalia, you'd know that China is a boy. He also have a genderbender version and that is a girl, and I mean, a girl (even with boobs and everything) ;]

  • @SkadiPirate yeah I always knew he was a boy but whenever I show this to a friend they always ask, "that's a girl, right?'... and then I facepalm their face for them. Anyways, if you think about it, I always thought of Vietnam as the female version of China, I mean if you really really look at her, they almost look like siblings at least. But anyways, I digress, I agree with u when you say that China is in fact a boy (btw I'm a girl)

  • @SkadiPirate I understand what that person's saying, but I think it's more because of his looks and actions. his hair makes him look a bit girly, and they way he acts towards cute things. Also, both his english and japanese voice actors are girls, so that doesn't help. But china's still epic!

  • @ladyknights104 China being a girl in the webcomic would in no way whatsoever, as far as I'm concerned be an insult towards the Chinese. Just saying.

  • @ErischeKitty Really petty Chinese people would get offended. Really, really petty ones. I think this person was thinking about how males hold precedent over females in Asia. And in the rest of the freakin' world, for that matter.

  • @ladyknights104 What are the reasons that China is a girl, then? Himaruya-sensei wouldn't get anything out of representing China as a girl, and I know damn well he's a guy. And one more thing. DO NOT REFER TO US ASIANS AS A CULT. Look up the meaning of the word before using it, okay? It isn't an insult either, in Chinese, countries are referred to as "she". There's no insult there. Think before you post.

  • @SkadiPirate actualy they say that china is girl dont remember what episode but i remember laughing my ass when i found out

  • @SkadiPirate

    He acts like a girl.

  • @MalonTheFarmGirl China is NO chick WHATSOEVER.

  • Hey! China's! I touch your ass and important place in Japan! I get mad of them!

    (PokoPoko

  • This video is amazing!! Reminds me when I used to live in Singapore~

    Xie Xie SkadiPirate

    And sorry i'm probably gonna make ur email box explode from commenting on alot of ur vids

  • Want a big brother like him !! ^^ He's perfect for this role !!

  • Um, all the countries are gender neutral. or, I thought they were...

  • @TheSilenceWhispers No, most APH-Characters are male; but there are some females characters too :]

  • If I could have a big brother like him, I'll be very happy, I think ^^

  • @SkadiPirate Where would I find it in your profile?

  • @TheDisneyAnimeFan14 ...just read my profile!?

  • @SkadiPirate

    Lawl...sorry..I just found this very funny XDD

  • It's hard for me to find the song by this person. Could you send me a link?

  • @TheDisneyAnimeFan14 Link for the the song is in my profile~

  • Back in the old days, men wear their hair long. It was only in the Qing Dynasty where minority rules that men were required to adapt their hairstyle(front shaved, back braided into a pigtail). Pigtails are ugly so Himaruya compromised and made it into a ponytail. The reason for a female voice dub is because Himaruya thinks a man THAT old is kinda like a saint and Chinese saints usually possess child-like characteristics (as opposed to a western saint). That's why a female dub that is often us

  • Wang Yao- the HOTTEST 4000 year old character EVER!

  • 好耀眼的星星阿~

    紅色才是最能代表中國的顏色~

  • Yeah, he's pretty handsome for a guy twice as old as Jesus...literally.

  • @Pinksky209 well he's still hot XD

  • Am I the only one that thinks that Yao is looking pretty hot for an old guy???

  • @BasicSoul666 Nope. Yao is the hottest 4000 I've ever seen.

  • 我爱我的祖国

    中国...

    我希望我可以访问

    <3 Zhongguo... Wo <3 Ni...

  • This is why I love SkadiPirate's videos: there's some effing awesome magic in them.

  • i either want to dress up as n. italy or china for halloween!

  • Oh, he looks so cute!

  • 中国大好き

  • @Lemit

    @Lunestoria

    Almost thought that my brother and I were the only ones who knew china was a guy the first time we saw him XD

    I've seen other characters who looked more girlie than China...such as kurama from yu yu hakusho and he had a female voice actor in the jap dub, but a male voice actor in the eng dub??? Also, kanda from d grey man had longer hair, more slender, and his outfit looked like a dress...yet people could tell he was a guy...

    Anyways, great video XDD

  • wo ai ni

  • 很耐聽的好歌,曲和旋律都很講究,相當有底蘊。

  • This is awesome. Thanks so much!

    I actually showed this to be Chinese father, and he went on a very long (and fruitless) search to find the original of the song, trying to prove to me that this singer mangled it. I think it's great, either way.

    Go China-aru~!

  • @celetarina *my

  • Really nice song :). Oh, China, I love youuuu :)!!! I wish I could visit your home someday :)!

    You make great videos, Skadi :).

  • China has a higher voice, which they usually use for younger guys in animes.

    but China claims to be the oldest of all the Allies.

    where's the sense?
