Plot Summary
Italy's Song
In this pre-title segment, Italy writes and sings a song for Germany, about Germany. It first starts out as a compliment, only to turn into a bizarre rant about Germans and how they frighten him. Germany proceeds to ship Italy back home in a cardboard box.
Italy Gets A Job (WWI)
The segment starts out with Germany learning that France has blamed the war that he lost all on him, and is making unreasonable demands. Germany is forced to send money to France, and build a multitude of cuckoo clocks. He voices that he is glad, however, to have ditched Italy and finally be alone, only for Italy to show back up to demand a job.
Italy is kicked out once more, but pleads with Germany about his poverty situation. He winds up working at the house, making bills, as he narrates in a letter back to his brother about the ridiculous money situation.
Italy Becomes An Ally (WWII)
Italy watches news of the war on TV, mad that Germany is attacking France again. Meanwhile, while Germany's plotting the rest of his war against France, he is informed that Italy has become his ally. Italy shows up, only to be literally kicked out by Germany and sent flying. He winds up thrown right back at Germany.
Italy manages to convince Germany to form an alliance with him, only for the two to wind up stranded in a desert where Italy keeps using up their water supply to boil pasta.

Trivia
- As the anime follows the published version of the manga, events from the original Axis Powers webcomic storyline (such as Italy traveling to Egypt to pick a fight, Germany and Italy becoming prisoners of war, and Japan's original appearance) are skipped.
- In the original webcomic version of Chapter 1, Italy was kicked out after annoying Germany with his obsessions over pasta and women. In the published manga and the anime, he instead annoys Germany with his song.
- Originally in the published manga, there was a segment taking place before Italy's return where Germany invaded Russia, but it was skipped over for this adaptation.
- In the webcomic, Italy is taken back by Germany after he nearly starves to death in the desert from using up his water to boil pasta. In both the published manga and anime, he works for Germany after his family becomes poor, though the desert plot is paid homage to by both Italy and Germany being stranded in a desert (with Italy using up their water to make pasta).
- In both versions of the manga, Germany originally is shown briefly calling Hungary before Italy arrives to confirm that he's become his ally.
