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