AU: Shimoneta x Hetalia

This is an idea that I've had for a while and ties into my original "Oboro Tsukimigusa is Japan" theory.

TLDR: Germany and Italy go searching for their lost friend and are forced to join a terrorist organization, and Shimoneta gets a too serious backstory.

The basic gist of it is that Japan isn't the only country that has gone entirely puritanical and sex-afraid, but most of the world has due to overpopulation stemming from a baby boom after ww3. America and Canada avoided this fate because the first fell into a civil war which was actually what caused the third world war, and the second had a bunch of political issues immediately afterwards.

Said war was horrifying enough that an entire generation realized their mortality and the beauty of life which, while causing many other issues, also led to them having a lot of children, like, seven-eight children households became common and expected all over the world.

Understandably, this many people was far too much for most countries to handle and society practically broke down. The next generation fell into escapism to distract themselves from the hell outside, especially and most importantly technology designed for sex and pleasure.

And nobody should be surprised to learn that the next generation wasn't pleased with this, they blamed their parents for the world they inherited and became extremely puritanical, to the point of trying to eradicate sex (as that was the scapegoat) entirely. With their technology it really was possible to do so as seen in shimoneta many high morality students don't even know the most basic terms for that kind of anatomy, it's not just a lack of education.

TLDR: The shimoneta cast are living through the backlash to their grandparents.

Now for the Hetalia part: After a world meeting, America asks Germany and Italy to try and find Japan, as it had been years since anyone had seen him. The last time anyone heard of him was that he was arrested at the japanese embassy in Washington, he was accused of going to America just to get access to lewd content.

America asks this of them because he has been banned from the country not only because the US isn't as hard line as japan but also due to the fact a bunch of political refugees came to America once the laws against lewd material were enacted, which the japanese government didn't like.

Germany and Italy decide to help America and go to Japan for "diplomatic reasons". At the airport they are forced to wear the same PMs as the rest of the population but won't really be arrested if they go off because of diplomatic immunity (but they can be kicked out of the country).

Que Italy doing his normal hand gestures and getting arrested by the decency squad but let go at the police station and everyone wastes their time dealing with this shit.

The two spend days looking everywhere they can, which includes taking guided tours into secure buildings and searching the internet for any rumors, but ultimately find no leads. It's not until one of their tours leads to Tokioka Academy (the main setting of shimoneta) that things start to heat up as they witness an 'attack' from an obscenity terrorist which cuts their tour short.

Afterwards they go to a local cafe to try and cool off but a student, who happens to be from that same school, is sitting a few tables away and she is making some... really sexual puns and jokes towards her fellow classmate who is just kinda putting up with her. Germany does his best to ignore them but things eventually escalate when the girl starts talking about what that terrorist did from first person, and the boy with her tells her to keep it down since they weren't alone at the moment, cut to Germany staring at them strangely with Italy being confused and asking him what's wrong.

So... this girl is apparently the obscene terrorist "Blue Snow" and her partner is "Tanukichi Ouma". They (somehow) manage to knock out and tie up both Germany and Italy and hold them hostage in the cafe's basement. Germany remains serious and refuses to tell them anything beyond his name while Italy is screaming for his life and is trying to throw his friend under the bus (like he did when France caught them) by listing out all the weird things that Germany like to watch.

Of course, Blue Snow pays more attention to Italy and says that Germany 'isn't such a buzzkill after all, he's just shy'. Due to this, and the fact that they are 'diplomats' who could act as spies, she asks them to join her terrorist organization, SOX, or else she would expose the types of videos that Germany indulges in. He reluctantly agrees to do so while Italy jumps at her words since he's begging for his life.

Blue Snow is actually "Ayame Kajou" and Germany + Italy decide to keep an eye on Ayame and Tanukichi to make sure that they really are just anti-censorship freedom fighters they claim to be and not more nasty terrorists, they use the excuse of 'wanting to learn of japan's morality system so they can carry it overseas' to examine and watch the school while it is in session.

This happens sometime after episode one but before Otome joins SOX so Italy and Germany are forced to help with some of their plots.

Germany is somewhat annoyed by Ayame's jokes and sees them as immature but he doesn't care too much about them in general, which leads to

Things go normally until Oboro is called into the school, where Germany seems to recognize her. He brushes this off though as Oboro is, to his knowledge, a woman so it can't be who he's thinking of, right?

Italy has the same reaction before Germany tells him that Tsukimigusa is female, where he sadly gives up his assumptions.

Later on, Tanukichi discovers on accident that Oboro is actually a dude dressing as a woman, and he wasn't just brought in by the student council president to combat obscenity but was sent by her parents, who are the leaders of japan, to keep her safe from lewdness. He tells this to the others and while most of SOX (Otome and Kosuri too at this point) thinks he's joking, Italy gets excited and shouts out to Germany that Oboro must be Japan (Note: he uses the name Japan and not "Kiku", since they have been using their human names for obvious reasons).

Everyone seems confused by this and Germany covers his mouth and scolds him, but there's no taking it back, they explain what they truly are and why they came here. Ayame seems more serious than she normally is and promises to help the two find Japan at all costs. This shocks her friends because she isn't known to act like this, but there's a good reason why. Something similar happened to her father, a politician who was arrested on false charges of grooming kids, and she knows about the 'Kiku Honda' incident and that he really was the personification of her country and saw it for what it truly was, puritanical totalitarianism.

During the fight with Gathered Fabric (Another Ero!Terrorist group who steals underwear, really just a bunch of perverts using politics to satisfy their urges), Oboro winds up gravely injured and Germany finds/saves him by bringing him to the basement under the cafe, he passes out of course and only wakes up once the natural regeneration of a personification takes its course.

At this point, Oboro's survival seems like a miracle and he assumes it to be one as he wakes up in front of Germany, Italy, and the rest of SOX. Of course, he is hostile towards them, even when Italy hugs him and starts crying asking what happened to make him like this, but Oboro doesn't understand what he's talking about.

They keep Oboro tied up there for a long time until one day when Germany came down to visit him. The conversation went as following, Oboro says that keeping someone tied up for this long is bad for their health, Germany agrees but says that there is a good reason for it. Oboro says that they have him mistaken for someone else but Germany asks if he knows about Japan's arrest, he does and says that Kiku Honda was arrested for 'Obsenity Tourism' and that it was especially shameful since he was a diplomat.

Germany is a bit shocked and asks Oboro more of what he knows about the man and he just says that he was a long working diplomat from before the current government rose to power. Germany asks if that's all he knows and Oboro says that is all there is to know about Kiku Honda, aside from the fact he has been in jail for years and is likely dead.

Germany doesn't respond but then tells him that he is wrong, Kiku wasn't just some random diplomat but was extremely important behind closed doors. Oboro refuses to hear more since that would be information beyond his clearance but Germany doesn't listen to him and asks if he has heard of national personifications.

Oboro says that he hasn't and Germany explains what they are, and that he is one himself. Oboro thinks this is clearly science fiction and tells him to stop messing around but Germany returns to the incident with Gathered Fabric, the injuries he received should have been unsurvivable.

Oboro refutes this and says that a skull fracture is nothing in this day but Germany explains that he didn't just have a head injury but that half of his brain had spilled out onto the ground when Germany picked him up but he was still, albeit barely, conscious.

Oboro denies this but Germany stops him and says that he can prove it. He takes out his gun (which he is allowed to carry due to being a diplomat, he used this against Gathered Fabric too) and points it at his own head before pulling the trigger. Yes, he 'dies' for a few minutes but wakes up in pain and lightheaded. He asks if this is enough evidence that he was telling the truth but Oboro is still in denial.

This escalates into an argument where Oboro says that he can't a personification and in a heated moment suggests that Germany prove it by shooting him and he does so in heat of the moment anger.

The same thing happens to Oboro but Ayame and Tanukichi come down as he is waking up confused and in shock. After a long explanation, Oboro is left speechless and paralyzed when Ayame asks if he believes him now and Tanukichi finds this especially strange since it's the first time they've ever seen Oboro express any kind of emotion.

Oboro stays with SOX and is eventually freed but he doesn't go back to the decency squad and basically reflects on what he remembers, the first thing is of all things, finishing 'specialized training' to become a member of the specialized police force. He realizes that he was somebody before his boss made him 'Oboro' and decides to try and regain the memories he lost of what is at least 20 years of his life.

Eventually he does regain his memories of being Japan and also the torture and brainwashing which was done to him so that the government could have their perfect personification of what they wanted Japan to be. Afterwards Japan deals with the trauma from all of that and desperately wants to flee from his home so they can't get him back.

I have plans for more about Canada and America but if I post those it will be later because I am tired and have spent hours on this

how did seitokai yakuindomo get big?

you know, it's kind of bizarre how successful seitokai yakuindomo actually was as a franchise. thirteen years of 4koma manga from 2007 to 2020, two seasons of television from 2010-2014, eighteen OVAs (some of which shipped with the limited edition of the manga) from 2010-2020, and two theatrically released movies in 2017 and 2020. it might be one of the most successful franchises based off of 4koma manga of all time. hell, even if you don't even know the name of the series, you've most likely seen a few clips that are infamous. like this one:

youtube

or this one:

youtube

or even this one:

youtube

or this infamous scene:

and the fact that the series is kinda successful. that teacher just offered to piss in that teenagers mouth; this should be a turn-off for most people, and yet it was a successful franchise that ran for fucking years because despite it essentially being the humor equivalent of playing the penis game.

like, compare seitokai yakuindomo to shimoneta: a world where dirty jokes don't exist. shimoneta is a light novel series that has a similar sort of appeal to it; it's a work that also involves a lot of raunchy humor involving penises and vaginas. ayame and shino, if they met, would probably have a very...interesting conversation that would probably result in tanukichi freaking out and tsuda's quipping abilities being pushed to the brink. shimoneta only has a light novel, manga adaptation, and a single season of televised anime, putting it on the same level of success as seirei tsukai no bladedance, a series i love and adore with all my heart yet no one has heard of.

yet shimoneta is a different beast altogether than seitokai yakuindomo, I feel. for one thing, it has a continuing story and actual themes that tie into the story. it's attempting to say something, to tell a love story, to display a nightmare future and the consequences, and also to make you laugh, and I feel like its ambition to combine side-splitting dirty humor in a dark-ish dystopian setting doesn't always work to achieve these storytelling goals. also, sometimes the author makes it pretty clear that the topic that he actually cares about is his porno collection and how you'll have to drag his pornography from his cold, dead, hands.

seitokai yakuindomo, on the other hand, is funny. and it doesn't need to be anything more than that. it surprisingly pushes few buttons in regards to content; while the language may be filthy, the events themselves are fairly normal and mundane. there are issues with the writing, too; for example, ujie tozen cannot write a second male tsukkomi that is older than Tsuda (when the principal quips back at Naruko, he shouldn't sound exactly like the teenage main character) and some characters have only one joke (nene, suzu's best friend, is an insufferable presence).

still, syd rules, and i'm surprised it went for so long.
