Originating as a gag-manga by Mine Yoshizaki, which began serialization in ShÅ�nen Ace in 1999, and every bit as goofy as its title would suggest, Sgt. Frog (known in Japan as Keroro Gunso, or "Sergeant Keroro") is the story of a not-so typical Japanese family and the alien frogs who turned their lives upside-down.When pubescent paranormalist Fuyuki Hinata and his tomboyish older sister Natsumi (14 in the manga, 13 in the anime) discover an alien in his bedroom, it's just the beginning of their troubles. This alien, Sergeant Keroro, is the leader of a recon team for an alien invasion from Keron, "the 58th Planet of the Gamma Nebula". But once his superiors realize he's been found out, they abort the mission and leave him and his crew behind. With no one else to turn to, Keroro ends up staying at the Hinata house with Fuyuki, Natsumi, and their mom Aki, living as something between a servant and a pet.Of course, Keroro is still an invader, and still plotting the downfall of "Pokopen/Pekopon" (his species' name for Earth in the manga/anime)... when he's not doing chores for the Hinata family, or being distracted by such aspects of Earth culture as Gundam model kits and the Internet. Before long, Keroro manages to reunite with his squad-mates: hot-headed rookie/Keroro fanboy Private Tamama, hard-boiled combat specialist Corporal Giroro, and smarmy intelligence officer Sergeant Major Kururu/Kululu. With this eclectic crew (plus some hippy ninja named Dororo), Keroro attempts to conquer the planet through one convoluted scheme after another, though sometimes he feels torn between his mission and his obligation to the Hinata family... but not that often.Rounding out the cast is an assortment of eccentric humanoids, including Momoka Nishizawa, bi-polar scioness of a multi-billion-dollar international corporation who hangs out with Tamama and has a serious crush on Fuyuki; Mutsumi Saburo, a smooth talking poet/artist/radio show host who hangs out with Kululu; Koyuki Azumaya, New Transfer Student and Ninja girl who hangs out with Dororo and is a rather close friend of Natsumi; and Angol Moa/Mois, a ditzy alien girl who has a crush on Keroro and the power to destroy an entire city block with literally a fraction of her power. And the ghost haunting the basement is somehow one of the least bizarre characters in the series.Insanely popular in Japan, the manga was eventually released in North America in 2004 by Tokyopop, later being licensed by Viz Media after Tokyopop's initial closure. An anime adaptation naturally followed, and it aired from 2004 to 2011 on TV Tokyo for seven seasons. In November 2006, ADV Films announced that they had acquired the rights to the anime adaptation; however, after nearly two years without a single word on the project save for a couple of trailers, Funimation acquired the distribution rights in 2008 (along with about 30 other ADV titles). After a bit more Development Hell, the first season 1 DVD was released September 2009. By March 2010, all of the first season had been released on DVD - split into two "seasons" for whatever reason. In February 2011, Funimation announced that it has licensed further seasons and would continue the dub, but production came to a standstill after the completion of their third, and no further dubbing was done. However, another, more faithful English dub provided by Animax aired in a few select countries of the series' birth continent and covered the whole series.Though not all hope was lost for North American fans, in March 2021, Discotek Media rescued the series, and will release all 358 episodes on SD Blu-ray. They've also licensed the show out to Crunchyroll for the time being.Aside from its own games, Sgt. Frog has been featured in Super Robot Wars twice, it made its debut in Super Robot Wars OE and was later featured in the now defunct mobile game, Super Robot Wars X-Ω. Given the series' frequent references to mecha anime as well as having some mechs of its own, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. | |

Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: Played with — she's actually friendly. The on-off character Tiger-Horse, a bizarre creature with some features of both animals but predominantly resembles a stringy haired ghost. To elaborate: Tiger Horse in Japanese is Tora Uma, referring to 'trauma' and its origins in Dororo's subconscious. | |

Redubbing | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_119eebd9 | comment |
Redubbing: A few years before the Sgt. Frog anime finally made it to North America, it was dubbed into English by Sony's anime-themed satellite channel Animax, giving it the title Sergeant Keroro. Although the acting (decent for Animax) may not have been quite up to American standards, this dub was considerably more faithful to the Japanese script than Funimation's dub. As a result, there are a few script purists who prefer it. A few clips of the Animax dub can be found online, for those curious enough to sample it. | |

| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
The character of Dasonu Maso, an alien pop star who has admitted he's a shameless knock-off of "Dance Man", likes to enforce this trope onto anyone he meets by transforming their hair into huge afros with his powers rather than performing. A variant in episode 294: Paul's Mobile Shrubbery camouflage includes a massive green afro resembling a bush. | |

Cannot Tell a Joke | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_135c6de7 | comment |
Cannot Tell a Joke: Koyuki is like this in the English dub of episode 18, judging by her failed attempt to tell the joke about The Aristocrats. When they return to the beach a year later to compete in the comedy contest again, she's improved a little — she can now tell a joke, but her material, featuring "walk into a bar" jokes, is extremely stale. Dororo too, to a greater extent. | |

Related to the above is the Mois-Momoka-Natsumi group "More Peach Summer", the name of which vaguely obscures the identity of its members by hiding them behind English words relating to their names. With Koyuki, the group is called "More Peach Summer Snow", and with Pururu it becomes... "More Peach Summer Snow and Pururu". | |

Tamer and Chaster: The anime adaptation isn't as raunchy as the original manga; while there's still some Fanservice, it's a lot more toned down by comparison, since it's aimed at a younger audience. Even the art style is modified to look more family-friendly. | |

Darker and Edgier: Subverted. In the 7th season, when half of the series moved to a late night timeslot, called Keroro Guns� Otsu, there was an entire story about Keroro becoming "Keroro of the Night", and so, "Adult, Dark and Dangerous". However, as it turns out, he was no different from before and he's defeated as usual. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: Angol Mois in the dub, probably because to a western viewer her tan complexion immediately suggests Latin heritage. And then lampshaded when she stopped doing it, or at least she doesn't do it as much anymore at least. | |

The Worf Effect: Giroro chronically suffers from this, primarily played for laughs. Angol Mois, resident Destroyer of Worlds, suffers this a couple of times thanks to the introduction of Angol Stones. Episode 133 features a rapid succession of heavy hitters going down for the count, thanks to Alisa Southerncross. | |

Comic-Book Time: Played with. While the characters never seem to age, the reasoning behind the debut of (Shin) Keroro/New Keroro/Keroro-2 is due to the fact that after so long, Pekopon still isn't conquered much to the frustration of their high command. | |

Multiple Endings: The "segmented endings" variant. They aren't alternate takes, just more and more complete versions of the series. The show's 7th season aired in different timeslots, with different running times in different timeslots. In order to satisfy people who couldn't watch the longer version of the show, the last 3 episodes of the series all ended up being different types of ending stories. | |

| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_1b89151e | comment |
Forgotten Phlebotinum: The Kero Ball and Angol Mois's Lucifer Spear gets used less and less each season. This gets lampshaded in the third movie - both items are lost at different points, but recovered from the wreckage during the end credits. The 7th season of the anime attempted to reestablish the basic characters and setting of the show. As a result, both of these elements come to the forefront again. There are 3 episodes with the Keroball in the center of everything just in the first half of the season. That's more than in all of the first season! | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: Sumomo and Miruru can all take on human form, while Pururu employs a Class A Pekopon suit only usable by Class A invaders.note The Keroro platoon is considered class F, hence why their Pekopon suits are unconvincing. Although never directly shown in the anime, it's actually a mechanical suit that has hidden rocket boosters around its body in the manga. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: Angol Mois's theme music, which repeats the words Nostra and Damus continuously, a reference to Nostradamus. Shion Drakon from the fourth movie; the chant she uses to transform Keronians into Dragon Warriors is a little hard to make out, but it contains the word "draconis," meaning 'Dragon.' | |

Model Scam | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_204cf900 | comment |
Model Scam: Tamama tries to discredit Angol Mois by posing as a sleazy camera man (with the help of a robotic exoskeleton) and telling her that she can become more "mature" by doing a photo shoot. | |

Spice Up the Subtitles | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_21f394ce | comment |
Spice Up the Subtitles: Funimation's subtitled version does this to both Giroro and "the other" Momoka, but especially the latter, whose (translated) dialogue almost entirely has swearing in it, especially in the second seasonnote Which Funimation decided would be the "third" season. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Because Giroro, Kururu, and especially Dororo and Koyuki are introduced in the anime much earlier than in the manga, several early chapters not featuring them at all were modified to include them. Because of the time difference between the start of the manga and the anime, Angol Mois' backstory is somewhat modified. Everything up to the point of Mois telling Nostradamus about her destroying the earth was true but she ended up being five years too late (2004 instead of 1999, 2009 in the Funimation dub). Mutsumi (623) still has his radio show in the anime, but he is a student in Natsumi's class instead of a high school dropout. Also the fact that he is the host of the 623 radio show seems to be a secret from Natsumi and other listeners of the show. In the manga, Keroro gains access to the Kero Ball early in the plot, but in the anime Fuyuki keeps it. This means that several of the early uses of the Kero Ball in the manga didn't happen in the anime or found other ways to happen. Meanwhile, the anime had its own exclusive story focusing on the Kero Ball. In the manga, Sumomo is a female 'Ahotoran' who appears in a bonus chapter, while in the anime Sumomo is a hit intergalactic popstar who appears in several episodes throughout the early seasons of the show. Even after she stops appearing, her presence can still be seen through merchandising and posters featuring her. Dororo and Koyuki live in a house next to the Hinata's in the manga, whereas in the anime, they live in the woods near Momoka's estate and can see the Nishizawa tower from their home. Many of the Sgt. Frog anime episodes are not found in the manga. In the manga, there's only an impersonal narrator, while the anime uses the narrator as a character who eventually even appears on screen. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_254fb9cb | comment |
Anticlimax: All through the Episode 101-103 arc, it was being set that there was going to be a huge epic showdown between Dororo and Zoruru. Of course, right when it was going to begin, Dororo revealed that he didn't remember Zoruru, and well, Zoruru just left. Events in Volume 17 and Season 7 correct this error. This gets played for laughs too, several times. In the fourth movie, the climax sees Keroro willingly undergoing the ritual to evolve himself into a dragon, and Shion starts reciting from the spellbook, as Keroro starts to glow and the music slowly builds up — so slowly that Keroro catches a cold first. | |

Palette Swap: It's used a lot in the anime for background Keronians, which generally share a few sets of generic designs (eyes with small irises, star emblems, hats similar to Keroro's or Kururu's, headphones included. Later episodes also use it for random background aliens. It's rarely used for humans, but, oddly, there's a model who appears in magazine covers of later episodes who looks basically identical to Satsuki, Natsumi's tomboy friend, but with blond hair and blue eyes. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Baio and Ouka Nishizawa. In one chapter/episode, Baio and Paul fought using techniques similar to Street Fighter characters Ryu and Ken while talking about their past rivalry. That short scene could be seen as a simple Shout-Out. However, when Ouka finally appeared, it was revealed that, when they were younger, the couple closely resembled Ryu and Chun Li and met each other in a fighting tournament which, in the anime, featured other Captain Ersatzes of the Street Fighter II cast. Even in the present, Ouka's outfits are variations of Chun Li's, and both Ouka and Baio mostly use techniques based on Ryu's and Chun Li's. Paul Moriyama shows similarities to both Ken (flashbacks) and Akuma (in the present, only after Ouka's introduction), so he isn't a Captain Ersatz of any specific character. There was also the briefly seen, but also the most obvious example, Eddy Honda to Street Fighter's Edmond Honda. Eddy Honda was a sumo fighter competing in the street fighting tournament and was defeated by the younger Ouka. He even fought in a location resembling the actual Honda's Street Fighter II stage and had the same voice actor as Edmond Honda from the Street Fighter II animated movie. In-universe non-character example - the Nishizawa radio tower to the Tokyo Tower. It helps that the NPG can afford to build a new one. Which they've done a few times. Although the Nishizawa radio tower takes the roles usually given to the Tokyo Tower, its design is actually taken from the less famous Skytower Nishitokyo. | |

Verbal Tic | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Episode titles always start with the name of whichever character the story will be about and end with Keroro's "de arimasu". Animax's little-known English dub of the show — it was only seen in Asia — preserves this tic by having Keroro's voice actress say "Sir, yes sir!" after the title. The Musha Kero saga has chapter numbers instead, and "de arimasu" is replaced with the more archaic "de gozasorou". | |

Wholesome Crossdresser: All five Keronians have crossdressed at least once, with Keroro himself putting on dresses and wigs most often. On the flipside, Kululu's debut episode has him turning Aki back into a 14-year-old — whereupon she dresses up in Fuyuki's school uniform and sneaks off to his school. Their resemblance is uncanny. | |

Bilingual Bonus: In the Japanese version, Tamama is filled with 嫉妬/ã�—ã�£ã�¨, pronounced "shitto" and meaning jealousy/envy.

Which on one occasion led to the use of Gratuitous English which led to the logical conclusion.◊ | |

Bland-Name Product | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: Aki's place of employment, Kadoyama Shoten Publishing, based on the real-life manga publisher Kadokawa Shoten, and the animation company "Sunirase", based on Sunrise, the company that animates Keroro. The Gundam ripoff seen occasionally, Dangale, is another example of this trope, but not to Gundam itself. It looks virtually identical to a real life Gundam knockoff called Gungal (And a more proper romanization would be "Dungal"), only with a different name and slightly goofier proportions. The manga actually used the Gungal name itself, rather than Dungal/Dangale. Hilariously, one of Keroro's model kits actually was released with a miniature Dungal as an accessory. | |

Gender Bender | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_2d88e42c | comment |
Gender Bender: In the anime, episode 271-B, Natsumi is turned into a boy accidentally, while something similar happens to Fuyuki, who becomes a girl, in chapter 219 (volume numbering), volume 25, of the manga. In both cases though, they return to normal at the end of a single story. In an in-game crossover quest with the mobile RPG Kemono Friends, it's the Keroro Platoon themselves who are turned into human girls. This is used for a longer in-game storyline and they can be used as standard party members even outside of that quest. Unlike the stories in the manga and anime, it follows the First Law of Gender Bending, with the Keroro platoon never going back to normal in the game's story, although they learn a way to do it. The characters also follow the Third Law of Gender-Bending to various degrees, with them all dressing as girls, and quickly becoming used to being girls, in spite of Keroro's initial shock, and Giroro's continuous denial. Giroro and Dororo even completely change their speech patterns to more feminine ones, while Keroro boasts to the player about how she makes a perfect girl in her self description. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Oddly enough, Keroro and Giroro wind up delivering more of this than the Foreign Fanservice character. One scene involving Tamama's Jealousy Ball has its proper Japanese name, 'Shittou Ball', written in the background in English — only it's spelled Shit Ball. Momoka's swimsuit from the first beach episode is "Qute". The dub invokes this in episode 4: "Buubii Torappu?" "Opening... Celemony" "I know that says 'Warnig' but I'm pretty sure they meant 'Warning'." Fuyuki has a sign on his bedroom door reading "Winter", which he has also used as a codename. Natsumi was, of course, "Summer." Related to the above is the Mois-Momoka-Natsumi group "More Peach Summer", the name of which vaguely obscures the identity of its members by hiding them behind English words relating to their names. With Koyuki, the group is called "More Peach Summer Snow", and with Pururu it becomes... "More Peach Summer Snow and Pururu". | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Kululu — as shown in the Nintendo DS game Keroro GunsÅ�: EnshÅ« Dayo! Zenin ShÅ«gÅ�, he can't be bothered to get out of his seat for the leg race minigame, even when a giant spiked steamroller is chasing him. (Why, when the seat runs for him?) | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Giroro's voice actor also played Leonidas in the Japanese dub of 300, which is quite appropriate, as they are both badass warriors or violent, cryptofascist lunatics depending on your point of view. At one point Giroro even utters the film's most memorable line. In a similar vein, Dororo once executed an Energy Ball in the exact same manner as a basketball shot, uttering the line "the left hand is only for support"... Garuru, whose voice actor was previously Anavel Gato of Gundam 0083, is known to carry weapons identical to those of Anavel's GP02 Physalis. Urere gets an entire story lampooning Kamen Rider Den-O, which features his voice actor Toshihiko Seki as Momotaros. Saburo's break-in in Episode 9 wasted no time taking advantage of the fact that he was voiced by Akira Ishida to make an extended Neon Genesis Evangelion Shout-Out. From Saburo in episode 298, a reference was made to Akira Ishida's role as Xellos from Slayers, with Saburo using his catchphrase, "That is a secret!" It is particularly amusing to read the manga with Giroro speaking with Vegeta's voice. The English dub has had fun with the fact that Giroro is voiced by Christopher Sabat, who was Vegeta (and Piccolo) in Dragon Ball Z. Giroro hoping Keroro will turn into a Super Saiyan, Giroro mentioning the Fusion Dance in the very next episode... In episode 29, the octopus-like creature used to frighten the newspaper club in the manga is replaced with an obvious Ryo-ohki reference (Ryo-ohki being one of the first characters voiced by Etsuko Kozakura). Pururu's birthdate is exactly the same as her voice actress. Despite the lack of a rival character being introduced, episode 282-B, bears a great deal of resemblance to the 3rd episode of the anime Mirumo de pon (the titular character of which shares Tamama's voice actress); Early in the episode Tamama taunts a dog and is consequently bitten when it turns out the dog is unchained, in the same way that Mirumo taunts and is subsequently chased by a cat that is unchained by Yashichi. Additionally, near the end when Tamama unleashes pet up Tamama impact fury on the robotic flies that caused him to drop the over-ripe Keronfig he was trying to eat (and everyone that was in the same general direction as said flies) closely mirrors the savage beating that Yashichi receives from Mirumo as punishment for ruining his cake. In the dub, Lavie's TV show is called "Gunbringer Girl", and it's described as being about "a cyborg child assassin who always brings her gun with her everywhere." Mois (Carrie Savage) thinks the title and the premise sound familiar - her actress having had a minor role on Gunslinger Girl. Another dub one: In one episode, Keroro meets Space Kumiko Watanabe and gets her autograph. He says he wishes the guy who does her roles in English was as nice to fans as she is. A Mobile Suit Gundam Wing parody in Episode 320 has Kururu turned into a Zechs Marquise-like character. Takehito Koyasu, Kururu's Japanese voice actor, also voiced Zechs in Gundam Wing. | |

Noodle Incident: It's mentioned often that Keroro was the most insane and violent soldier in all of Keron "in the old days", but the only times we see anything close to it is when Keroro gets drunk on moisture. A better example would be Keroro's own father, the "Demon Sergeant", rumored to be the most fearsome sergeant in the galaxy, but only appears on vacation in a Hawaii shirt and an easygoing attitude, at least on the surface. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: That's what the Angol clan considers humanity to be in the manga, sensing various evil thoughts throughout the world and even being able to count how many sins are happening on Earth in a specific moment. This would explain why the Angols seem nice, despite their destructive aims. In Soulcalibur 4, which features Angol Fear, Angol Mois' cousin who'd go on to appear in the Keroro manga later. Her story suggests the Angol race thinks Humans Are Bastards, and possibly the reason they want to destroy Earth is to save the rest of the Universe from that corruption expanding; Ultimately, Angol Fear observes that there are many innocent humans, and leaves it up to Angol Mois to decide whether to destroy Earth or not. | |

Stylistic Suck: An episode of the anime involves the platoon trying to make their own cartoon. At the end of the episode, the finished result is seen... and the finished result is bad. Giroro's art is terrible, the acting is sub-par, and in Keroro's case, all of his dialogue flubs were put into the finished result. The platoon thinks it's fantastic. In the end of the episode and in the dub, Natsumi calls out Keroro for this. | |

Four Is Death | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_471a505f | comment |
Many characters have names that can be and are converted to numbers, such as Mutsumi (623), Natsumi (723), Kululu (966), and many others. Helped by the fact that there are several different ways (old fashioned ways, modern ways, ways to avoid saying death...) to say the numbers, and that similar sounds (K sounds about the same as G, for example) can be used to keep character's names in this convention even if a syllable doesn't match up exactly with that of a number. However, three of the main five frogs don't exactly follow it (Keroro->K66, Giroro->G66, Dororo->D66, though as Zeroro, he may have been 066) and Tamama doesn't fit into it at all. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Giroro. Brutal, war-obsessed commando and devoted cat owner. Occasionally Keroro comes off as this, except he's not so much a jerk to begin with as an annoying, mooching houseguest. However, he does tend to do the right thing when all the cards are down to crisis point—right by human perspectives; his own race may think differently. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Keroro's various "Pekoponian Suits", which range from sumo to businessman to schoolchild. These are robotic human suits with no head — the various characters riding them have their heads replacing the normal suit. So you have a 6 foot tall schoolchild with a giant frog's head. Note that these disguises always work perfectly. It's occasionally mentioned people take them for weirdos with masks, though. On the flipside, headbands with googlibobs are all that's needed for humans like Fuyuki and Natsumi to walk unnoticed among the alien community. There's a really odd example in the Girls' Day episode, where Kululu's Kululuko disguise is very good (i.e., looks just like a real human woman), but his identity is still very obvious to the viewer if not the cast (the name, the spiral motif, the color yellow, the voice, etc.). | |

American Keroro says "de arimasu" after one episode's title, just for the hell of it. However, most episode names are Shouts Out to various other media: V for Valentinedetta, Springtime for Hitters, Lost Action Hero, Lost in Transportation (de arimasu), you get the idea. Note that this is only most episodes, though all the others are puns ("Pop Startled", "Fake It Til You Make It", etc.) As of the second season a couple of episodes use a line from the show as the title, a la Crayon Shin-chan. | |

Live-Action Adaptation | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_504ca25a | comment |
Live-Action Adaptation: Parodied at the end of episode 293. The platoon's reaction is what seals it. Keroro also says George (or Johji) Nakata—in reality the voice of Giroro—is rumored to be starring in the live action Captain Geroro movie in a much earlier episode. Finally, there are in fact, actual live-action adaptations. Some of them are quite strange. | |

All Your Powers Combined | |

The manga introduced an actual sixth ranger in chapter 174. The "Second Keroro Platoon", a young recruit also named "Keroro", whose Keron Star gives him alternate modes based on the data of each platoon member. He befriends a human child called Tomosu, who's an occult fan and member of an occult club, similar to Fuyuki, but he's younger and actually a Fuyuki fan himself. | |

Affably Evil: The Vipers tend to be depicted this way, despite supposedly being the sworn enemy of the Keronian race - in fact, they've been shown to have a soft spot for Keronian children. Also they tend to fail as much as our heroes. For beings who destroy planets for a living, the Angols are pretty nice. | |

Nobody Poops | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_54bb502b | comment |
Nobody Poops: Averted normally, and taken up to eleven in one Kero Zero chapter. Basically, the mothership taking our heroes to Earth starts rationing all food and water when its onboard farms fail to produce any crop - our heroes wind up holding it all in for a week when they can't even use the toilet, then desperation forces them to dump it all all over the onboard farms, inadvertently fertilising the soil and allowing it to function again. They don't actually touch the food produced for some time, though. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: There's a reason they couldn't get away with calling Earth Pokopen in the anime.note "Pokopen" was a derogatory term for China and the Chinese before and during World War II. It's considered extremely offensive today and usage of the word on Japanese TV is banned. In-universe example: Natsumi hijacks the Keronian's pool, declaring it humans only...with Mois swimming right next to her. This is just the top of the list. | |

Adaptational Modesty | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_580be152 | comment |
Adaptational Modesty: The original manga often uses the female characters as vehicles for Fanservice, but the anime tones down these moments. In the manga, the platoon invents a gun to zap Natsumi with that leads to her wearing a skimpy oni-girl outfit. In the anime, the outfit is still skimpy but the bottom is changed from bikini briefs to a pair of shorts. An episode of the anime from season 1 shows Koyuki hanging upside-down, where the skirt part of her ninja uniform flips over and we see her wearing a black pair of shorts. Had this happened in the manga we would have had a view of her panties. In the manga chapter where Keroro gets ill, Angol Mois transforms into a different, more revealing outfit in order to destroy the Earth. In the anime version of this episode, she stays in her regular outfit. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: Yamato and Kapu. Yamato was a kid around Fuyuki's age who befriended a kappa-like creature similar to Keroro, who took he and his friends in many adventures. When Fuyuki meets him though, Kapu had disappeared, although his friends still hoped to meet him again. In the manga, it's directly lampshaded by Fuyuki writing a report afterwards where he talks about how he realized, with that incident, that there are other stories like his going on in the world, which doesn't spin around him after all. | |

The Unreveal: The season 6 episode explaining Giroro's scar. It turns out the explanation given was a fake one devised for an infomercial. A season 7 episode about Dororo's mask. In the end we don't see his mouth, and the Keronians are distracted by Keroro spilling some water or something and don't get to see it before Dororo puts his mask back on. Dororo does blush and... giggle... afterwards. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the beginning of the manga, Fuyuki is a grade schooler in the 6th grade and Natsumi is a 8th grader. Shortly afterwards, he graduates and moves to another school for his 7th grade. In the anime, Fuyuki is already in 7th grade from the start. In the manga, Fuyuki has an occult club in grade school and has a lot of members. When he enters middle school, he joins a manga club to follow his mom, Aki's steps. Eventually, however, Fuyuki leaves the manga club and creates a new Occult Club alongside Momoka. However in the anime, Fuyuki already starts with an occult club, initially by himself before being quickly joined by Momoka. | |

Not Allowed to Grow Up | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_5f9fbd83 | comment |
Not Allowed to Grow Up: Even though every season of the anime features holiday and birthday specials and there are direct references to previous years, the human characters still keep their original ages and are still in the same school years. The same happens with Tamama, who still keeps a tadpole's tail and white face, even though Taruru, a Keronian younger than him, matured in the 2nd season. Lampshaded by the manga, when Fuyuki said that he was "just 12(?) years old" in a later volume. Irregularly contradicted by the anime itself, which is also the biggest offender due to the number of holiday and anniversary episodes. Paul, in Episode 92, mentions that Momoka's birth was commemorated 13 years ago, and Natsumi was said to be 14 in the second movie, which means that the entire cast aged at least one year. There are also various references to the Keroro platoon spending years on Earth and vague comments about the human characters getting older. However, official guidebooks still keep everyone's starting ages and school years as the only official ones. The databook for the manga (as of volume 23) actually said that the human characters had aged one year since the start of the series, breaking away from the manga's previous references to the lack of aging of the human cast. | |

Invisibility Cloak: The Anti-Barrier, or the system the Keronians use to become invisible to anyone other than a select few, like the Hinatas. It's explained that very curious people (like the mangakas in the deadline arc, and the Hinatas early on) can see straight through it, but then it says this is how Natsumi and Fuyuki saw the Sergeant to begin with... yet Keroro had forgotten about the anti-barrier at that point. | |

| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_6a2ae11f | comment |
Improbable Weapon User: Pururu, and her various novelty-sized syringes. Like, as big as her. These are made even more improbable in the anime, due to the fact the needles are tipped with a ball, so as to not scare the children or give the impression they could actually cause bodily harm. Dororo's mother can battle berserk security robots with frying pans. In the episode that introduces Giroro, Natsumi busts right through a massive array of tripwires, plastique, and claymore mines with just a leek. The finishing blow is delivered with a bookbag to Giroro's head. | |

Serious Business: In episode 10, Keroro gets a cavity. The other platoon members notice this and immediately go all DEFCON 1, locking down the entire house, complete with steel barriers on the windows and doors, red rotating lights, and a loud klaxon. This is because cavities are actually caused by other alien invaders! Granted, these invaders are the size of bacteria, and so, are often confused with bacteria by humans. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The Keronians all have meaningful names. Keroro comes from "kerokero", the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound a frog makes. Tamama comes from "otamajakushi", which is Japanese for "tadpole". It can also be linked to "tamatama", which means "unexpected" (referring to his fierce mood swings). Giroro comes from "girogiro", which means "sharp-eyed". Kululu comes from "kurukuru", which means "spinning" or "wound up" (referring to his whorl mark and the spirals on his Nerd Glasses). It can also be linked to "kuru", which means "hunchback" (referring to Kululu's stooped posture). Dororo comes from "doron", which is onomatopoeia for a Ninja vanishing. It can also be linked to "dorodoro", which means "syrupy" (which describes Dororo's sentimental and emotional tendencies). Dororo is also a classic samurai manga my Osamu Tezuka, though this may not be relevant in the etymology of Dororo's name. | |

Unwanted Harem: To date, Fuyuki has drawn the attention and affection of Momoka, Chiruyo, Alisa Southerncross, and the unnamed mermaid of the undersea Nontolma civilisation. Keroro's includes Tamama, Mois, Pururu and in one episode Karara (in that episode they're all seen together, it doesn't go very well). It's also possibly included a girl who likes gunpla and Sumomo (only in the manga). In the manga, there's also a female manga club member (who, although seemingly unnamed, was a minor recurring character) and Haruyo, a girl who befriended Sumomo. | |

Similar Squad: When digging for a spa, Keroro finds a superweapon left by a team of invaders not unlike his own. The dub takes this further, making them lizardmen from the planet Lizardono come to invade the planet they know as Ponopek but saddled with an incompetant leader who spends all his time building models. They even have similar insignias. The first movie reveals that the ancient invaders who used those statues were actually Keronians, and they also left other weapons on Earth... | |

School Clubs Are Serious Business: Fuyuki starts the paranormal club, but only has one other member in it (and she only joined because she had a crush on Fuyuki). The school newspaper also discovers the aliens' existence, but nobody believes them because they're a school newspaper (and because Fuyuki managed to confiscate their evidence). | |

Identical Grandson: After being zapped with Kululu's "Midlife Crisis" gun in Episode 9, preadolescent Aki is shown to look very similar to Fuyuki (but not close enough that Funimation's dub could resist lampshading it). A later episode involving time travel reveals that teenage Aki looked a lot like Natsumi — except for the hair color and the glasses, of course. Fuyuki's son shown in a brief glimpse of the future at the end of the 6th season looks basically identical to Fuyuki's Bratty Half-Pint younger self. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_8e92e125 | comment |
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Very common in the manga, but the anime has significantly less of them. Aside from Gundam characters mentioned by Keroro, the cameo characters in the anime are usually redesigned, even if only for actual silent cameos, and renamed, if they actually have credited speaking roles, basically becoming Ersatzes. There are a few rare straight examples though, like the Great Mazinger briefly appearing in the middle of a war zone and in a radar during episode 145-A, without any redesign, where different parts of it were visible in the different scenes (legs in one scene, silhouette in another). | |

Not Me This Time: There's a rather sad example in one chapter; Keroro is expecting praise for doing a good job cleaning the house, but is instead met with furious accusations by Natsumi and Fuyuki of screwing with computer networks across the city, and has a nervous breakdown when they refuse to believe his pleas that he's not responsible. The real culprits turn out to be the Garuru Platoon, as a prelude to taking over the invasion of Earth. | |

Evil Counterpart: The Garuru Platoon to the Keroro Platoon in Episodes 101-103. Taruru to Tamama, Garuru to Giroro, Tororo to Kululu, and Zoruru to Dororo. Strangely, Keroro did not have one. Also done in the Third movie, with Shivava to Tamama and Doruru to Giroro. Dark Keroro counts, but he's more of an Evil Twin to Keroro. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Mutsumi could see through the Anti-Barrier and in the anime had the same colored pupils used by human-like alien characters. In a late anime episode, one of his alternate counterparts from another dimension is shown to be an alien conqueror. The anime in later seasons also introduced the idea that there were rumors about both his Saburo and Mutsumi identities being aliens. However, the original anime ended and nothing seemed to come out of that. On the other hand, in the manga, it's eventually revealed that although Mutsumi is biologically human, he was adopted and taken by a race of super intelligent human-like alien invaders called N326ans, a name referenced by his anime nickname, Saburo(sometimes spelled as 326), and through that he seemed to have learned their abilities like breaking into other dimensions and flight. | |

Gag Dub: Funimation pretty much took the same approach as they did with Crayon Shin-chan for this dub, though it stays faithful to the main plot of each episode while changing up references and adding new jokes. Funimation's original test dub represents this trope much more accurately, making the current dub look like the original Japanese version in comparison. | |

| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_a19cce82 | comment |
Merchandise-Driven: Inverted here - it's Keroro's love of Gundams that earned them Bandai as its merchandising arm. The KeroPla line of plastic models features Keronian characters and mecha all compatible with existing Gundam models. It also resulted in the series making it to Super Robot Wars. And on Keron, the platoon is a super duper popular cash cow... but they didn't actually know this until they got letters from Keronian kids on New Year's. Somebody's really rich, but it sure as Hell isn't them. It's parodied in episode 10 of the anime (at least in the dub), where an armored vehicle is introduced just to add it to the toy line. | |

Homage | |

Homage: Out of all the shoutouts to Mobile Suit Gundam, the third movie in particular offers what may be the strongest homage yet, with an actual Gundam being used against the enemy and Keroro doing a rendition of the theme song. This Gundam being a sized-up toy, it doesn't last very long. The 4th movie starts out with Keroro dressing up as the Zeta Gundam and ZZ Gundam, then takes advantage of the retro setting of France to homage ∀ Gundam. Case in point, Pierre's uniquely shaped moustache, and the presence of antique coat-of-arms that resemble known UC mecha. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra 556 and his sister Lavie are fairly big recurring characters in the anime, but are very minor in the manga after their initial appearances. In the manga, Sumomo was a character from a one-shot side story loosely connected to the main comic. In the anime, she was remade into an alien Idol Singer who was taking an impromptu vacation on Earth in her first appearance, and eventually became a recurring character for the first couple of seasons. Pururu, aside from her introduction, mostly appears in the manga alongside other Garuru Platoon members. However, in the anime, she's assigned to Earth, to check up on the Keroro platoon's health, thus makes fairly frequent appearances by herself starting in the fourth season. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Lampshaded in one episode where Momoka visualises herself still watching Fuyuki quietly from a corner. In the future. Where both are well into their eighties. Apparently the Japanese are known to age well, but still... Occasionally subverted in the character development, even if they're Not Allowedto Grow Up. Natsumi evolves from someone who hates the Keronians into a fairly good friend of Giroro, while Keroro goes from someone who merely stops caring about his mission to conquer Earth in favor of being a parasite on the Hinatas, to someone who actually cares about them. | |

Beneath the Earth | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_a7544a0f | comment |
Beneath the Earth: Side 6, an underground city that acts as a refuge for all alien immigrants on Earth, but otherwise looks exactly like any street-level environment. Turns out that not only is it really a massive space battleship buried underground, but it combines with Side 1 through 5 to form a Humongous Mecha! | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_a9de87d2 | comment |
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: There is a reason Sgt. Keroro is the leader even though he appears to be a fool. Threaten (or worse, actually hurt) his squadmates or his adoptive family, and there's no force in the universe that will stop him, as the Garuru Platoon found out. Or just get him too wet. See Berserk Button far above. Video here, from Episode 103, unfortunately sans subtitles. Complete with Transformation Sequence and Theme Music Power-Up due to The Power of Friendship, along with He's Backs for the rest of the team, followed shortly by shoutouts to god only knows how many animes, reminding us that for all their problems, we are dealing with an elite alien invasion force, after all. Fuyuki has a bit of this too — in several instances Sgt. Keroro pushes him too far, he gains a Battle Aura and a shadow covers his face, then the manga cuts over to a terrified Keroro and a cheerful Fuyuki. The first time this happens he actually stops the otherwise unstoppable Keroro described above. See Berserk Button, pretty close above. Also Beware the Nice Ones, far above. In one chapter of the manga, the platoon goes way too far by converting some old Children's Day carp flags (which Fuyuki considered a family heirloom) into invasion weapons. Fuyuki snaps, prompting Natsumi to genuinely panic, and Kululu quickly zaps him with the age reduction beam. Child!Fuyuki promptly takes charge of the invasion. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Episode titles always start with the name of whichever character the story will be about and end with Keroro's "de arimasu". Animax's little-known English dub of the show — it was only seen in Asia — preserves this tic by having Keroro's voice actress say "Sir, yes sir!" after the title. The Musha Kero saga has chapter numbers instead, and "de arimasu" is replaced with the more archaic "de gozasorou". American Keroro says "de arimasu" after one episode's title, just for the hell of it. However, most episode names are Shouts Out to various other media: V for Valentinedetta, Springtime for Hitters, Lost Action Hero, Lost in Transportation (de arimasu), you get the idea. Note that this is only most episodes, though all the others are puns ("Pop Startled", "Fake It Til You Make It", etc.) As of the second season a couple of episodes use a line from the show as the title, a la Crayon Shin-chan. | |

Trademark Favorite Food: Kululu consumes so much curry that it's turned him yellow. Giroro and his roasted sweet potatoes. Tamama, is always eating snacks, but not any specific kind. Candy, potato chips, anything. He's also fond of Space Okonomiyaki FX/Meat Lover's Space Omelet, but this very seldom appears due to being something of a delicacy... not to mention one that is still alive and walks around on crab legs. Keroro and starfruit, so nutritious to Keronians that it saves him from death. | |

It's a bit ironic when we briefly see his mouth filled with rotten teeth in episode 310. OTOH, at the end of the Caries War episode, it's revealed that Keronian teeth shed continuously as they wear out like actual frogs do, which might explain Kululu's disinterest in actually saving the teeth. | |

Retcon: The official databook for the manga released alongside volume 23 changed the ages of several characters compared to their initial ones in previous databooks. Natsumi and Koyuki are 14 years old in the present, but now were 13 in the beginning of the series and Mutsumi now is said to be 16 years old (which would make him 15 in the beginning of the series), rather than 18 like in the previous official publications. In general, the new official ages seem to match up with the ones used by the original anime, although Mutsumi still is one year older than his anime self. | |

Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Kululu, who's a qualified doctor and curry chef on top of everything else. The Musha Kero saga has him assuming the title of Barber-Surgeon, which is really a reference to early village dwellers, lucky enough to get an education in the big city, being saddled with several jobs upon their triumphant return to the countryside. Fuyuki by way of the paranormal. It's always stated that his interest is in the 'Occult', which being a grab-all term in itself means that Fuyuki has to be well-versed in world history, geography, archaeology, science, urban myth, maybe some astrology... It's at least stated that he's a brilliant detective on the side. | |

Subverted | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_bc103f8b | comment |
Occasionally subverted in the character development, even if they're Not Allowedto Grow Up. Natsumi evolves from someone who hates the Keronians into a fairly good friend of Giroro, while Keroro goes from someone who merely stops caring about his mission to conquer Earth in favor of being a parasite on the Hinatas, to someone who actually cares about them. | |

There is a reason Sgt. Keroro is the leader even though he appears to be a fool. Threaten (or worse, actually hurt) his squadmates or his adoptive family, and there's no force in the universe that will stop him, as the Garuru Platoon found out. Or just get him too wet. See Berserk Button far above. | |

Destroyer Deity: Angol Moa has come to Earth to destroy it, in accordance with Nostradamus' prophecies. Fortunately, she's one of the sweetest girls you could meet, so convincing her to forgo the plan isn't too hard. Unfortunately, she's also rather flighty and doesn't fully understand the implications of her role, so she's prone to offering to destroy the world as a solution to any minor difficulty the other characters are having at the moment. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Sgt. Frog breathes this trope, expect it to be played on a daily basis. It doesn't help that all female characters in the show are generally far stronger than the males and one of them is an infamous galaxy destroyer. Though subverted as said galaxy-destroyer is one of the nicest character in the show, and the frequent abusers are the Muggle whose house Keroro lives in and a Yandere rich girl. | |

Thanks to DJ 623 a.k.a Saburo, there's also a Radio Show Within A Show, as is Keroro's Strange Dopamine. Gundam is treated as one in the anime thanks to the model kits being the plotline of several stories in the show. | |

Grand Theft Me | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_c6102eb0 | comment |
Grand Theft Me: Thanks to a special Gashapon machine. In the anime, the first time, it's used by Keroro to steal Natsumi's body, but the situation ends up closer to "Freaky Friday" Flip when he is dragged to help her classmates. The manga's story turned out differently though. Either way, it seemed like a one-off item, but it returned in the 6th season. Keroro's mother disappears with Natsumi's body and even convinces Giroro to go on a date with her. There were also incidents involving Momoka and Keroro and Tamama and Fuyuki, when Tamama decides to use Fuyuki's body to approach Keroro and even attempts to kiss him... although he made a mistake. In the later episodes, the voice actors stay with the bodies, only following the personalities for internal monologues. | |

Both of them had Kamehame Hadokens and a Battle Aura. Orara was even voiced by Goku's original voice actor. | |

In the manga version of the story (where she's hanging by both feet), Natsumi lets her panties show. | |

Crowded-Cast Shot: Several events in later episodes routinely reunite at least one member of each alien race shown in the series up to that point, although most only return as background cameos. Episode 296 is the biggest example in this series. The first half, featured piles of letters and cards sent by old minor characters. In the second half, there was a competition involving one member of every alien race shown in the series up to that point. | |

Fake Shemp | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: Many minor characters, like aliens created for specific episodes, return later in minor roles. Unless they were voiced by one of the show's main voice actors, this usually means they either get random voice actors replacing them or just appear mute. This happens more rarely with minor human characters, but there are still some examples, like Natsumi's and Fuyuki's teachers in later episodes, who aren't even credited and generally talk with the camera showing their backs or off screen in order to lessen the impression of recasting. Sumomo is probably the most obvious example. The last time her VA returns to do her character's voice is in the beginning of the third season. Afterwards, Sumomo only makes minor silent cameos or uses old audio. There's also an example with Danceman in the 5th season. He's shown in a far away shot of a concert, which uses stock audio. | |

Depraved Dentist: Do not, under any circumstances, let Kululu near your mouth. It's a bit ironic when we briefly see his mouth filled with rotten teeth in episode 310. OTOH, at the end of the Caries War episode, it's revealed that Keronian teeth shed continuously as they wear out like actual frogs do, which might explain Kululu's disinterest in actually saving the teeth. | |

Sixth Ranger | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_dabc7a46 | comment |
Sixth Ranger: Dororo and Angol Mois like to trade places being this and The Heart, depending on the episode. In the anime, Joriri joins the Keroro Platoon officially during an episode of the 6th season. However, because Status Quo Is God, it turns out there was a mistake and he leaves... That event was still referenced afterwards though and he continued to be a minor recurring character for the anime. The manga introduced an actual sixth ranger in chapter 174. The "Second Keroro Platoon", a young recruit also named "Keroro", whose Keron Star gives him alternate modes based on the data of each platoon member. He befriends a human child called Tomosu, who's an occult fan and member of an occult club, similar to Fuyuki, but he's younger and actually a Fuyuki fan himself. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: In the manga, Earth is referred to as "Pokopen", whereas in the anime, it is "Pekopon". "Pokopen" is a derogatory word Japanese used to describe China during the Sino-Japanese Wars (literally "worthless"), and has since been banned from TV programs by the mass communications authority in Japan. In the Chinese subs, it is replaced by "Blue Planet". Mustsumi Hojou's full name is never said in the anime. His radio identity uses the "Mutsumi" name from the manga, but everyone outside of work calls him "Saburo", a nickname that doesn't exist in the manga. Many of Kululu's inventions have different names in the anime. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: In episode 112, it's revealed Kululu had a second Reality Pen, the first of which he gave to Saburo. The Platoon members go into Kululu's memories to see where it ended up, and it's revealed that he loses it during the events of episode 2 and that it was destroyed by the Tamama Impact Tamama fired towards the end of the first half of episode 2. Episode 37 has a series of coincidences that end up saving Keroro and company from a rampaging dinosaur. | |

They Would Cut You Up | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_dcd29760 | comment |
They Would Cut You Up: In early episodes, this is part of the reason (along with imprisonment and potential traffic accidents) why the alien frogs are not allowed to go out on their own, at least before they develop their Mobile Suit Humans. Played for laughs in the Kero Zero prequel story - it seems that "human abductions" are a well-known urban myth on alien civilisations like Keron, to the extent that the word "probing" has become a Freakout Button of sorts for our heroes. | |

Strange Pond Woman: In one story Tamama pretends to be a god (angel in the Funimation English dub) after being caught by a boy practising soccer. While he did help the boy become more confident, he gave some rather strange advice, especially in the Manga and English dub. Among these is a soccer kick fueled by resentment. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: It's hinted in one arc of the manga (the World's Tiniest Invasion: Lost Episode IIRC) that humans have an absurd level of mental potential, and that Keroro's contact with them has put his own potential far beyond that of the average Keroronian, which still leaves him far below a human's level. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Averted in the released version, but apparently part of Funimation's original plan for this show was to eliminate the last syllable from the aliens' names (Keroro becoming simply Kero) and have Earth be known intergalactically as "Planet Wuss" and humans as "Wussians". Funimation likely abandoned this due to negative feedback on the changes. Changes that stay include Giroro's cat, who doesn't have a name at all in the original (everyone calls her "neko"; "cat" or "kitten"), but the dub calls her Miss Furbottom, while Dasonu*Maso becomes the Dance*Master, because the pun doesn't even sort of work in English. Broadcasts in languages other than English sometimes went rather farther than Funimation's dub did; Keronians tended to keep their original names but the human characters were occasionally renamed to fit with the language of the dub. | |

Art Evolution: Keroro's pupils becoming smaller and Natsumi's pigtails getting shorter every season is good evidence. In the manga the frogs are drawn as being rather tubby in earlier volumes. They get thinner partway through volume 4. Lampshaded in the 9th title sequence, when 1st-season and current Keroro meet each other and get a shock. | |

Mars Needs Women: Giroro's crush on Natsumi, and a reversal in Moa's crush on Keroro. This is made ironic in the former's case when he reviews a pre-invasion press conference wherein he violently insisted he would under no circumstances fall for a native woman. Partial subversion in the second movie, when alien prince Mero kidnaps Natsumi to make her his princess. As it turns out, he's just a child, and Natsumi winds up as his surrogate mother instead. | |

Expy: There are many characters and inventions which are obvious homages to other works, from the more well known ones like Wettol King to Iron King and Ultraman or the Pekopon Invasion Machine resembling a green Gunbuster to the less well known and one shot ones, like the Abilika group from a 5th season episode to Time Bokan's trio of antagonists and their successors. Saburo is an expy of Kaworu. The first time he visits the Hinata household, the ode to joy starts playing, and he’s voiced by Akira Ishida. In-universe examples: Dasonu* Maso is the unabashed bootleg version of Dance* Man (see Ink-Suit Actor below). Yoga and Cyclone to Street Fighter's Dalshim and Zangief. There's one to Guile, in an absurd way. Oka complains about his hairstyle not being comparable to the original, and lies on the ground while the Guile expy is charging for Sonic Boom or Flash Kick, just like in the game. | |

Mobile-Suit Human: The Keronians run around in these when they need to be seen in public. Kululu's female Pekoponian suits (to date, Kululuko and a faux-Natsumi loaned to Sumomo) fit more closely, placing the Keronian pilot entirely within the torso instead of leaving the head exposed to allow for a more realistic human appearance — despite being quite unnecessary (see Paper-Thin Disguise below). | |

Fuyuki has a bit of this too — in several instances Sgt. Keroro pushes him too far, he gains a Battle Aura and a shadow covers his face, then the manga cuts over to a terrified Keroro and a cheerful Fuyuki. The first time this happens he actually stops the otherwise unstoppable Keroro described above. See Berserk Button, pretty close above. Also Beware the Nice Ones, far above. | |

Crossover | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_eb6da8ef | comment |
Crossover: Aside from all the references and homages to other series, Sgt. Frog has had several crossovers with other series which had direct participation from Mine Yoshizaki in their production. Melody Honey actually originated from Seven of Seven and also appeared in Arcade Gamer Fubuki before her animated appearances in Keroro. On the other hand, Mutsumi and Omiyo appeared in Seven of Seven after debuting in Keroro's manga. However, that was actually their first animated appearance too. The Keroro manga had frequent cameo appearances by Fubuki, from Arcade Gamer Fubuki, and her best friend in the background of several scenes. Eventually, there was a full blown cross over chapter where Fubuki beat Keroro in an arcade game. Fubuki only makes a single brief background cameo in the anime. In the Fubuki anime, one of the finalists of the videogame tournament which is at the center of the story looks suspiciously like Kururu in a Pekopon suit. Natsumi and a Keroro plush had guest appearances in the Arcade Gamer Fubuki manga. Keroro plushies are also seen in the anime. 'Space X Jyubei', main character of an obscure manga by Mine Yoshizaki, had a guest appearance during the chapter which introduces Dororo in the manga, listed among the aliens on Earth. He was absent from the anime version of the story. In the single volume of the 'Space X Jyubei' manga, the last chapter is actually a complete crossover with Keroro, featuring not only Keroro, but also Fuyuki and Natsumi in main roles. Angol Fear, Mois' cousin, debuted in Soulcalibur IV, but her backstory always referenced Keroro, mentioning Mois, who'd come to Earth after her. She eventually would go on to appear in the Keroro Guns� manga itself. Keroro plushies and toys are seen in Lucky Star, and there's even an episode preview where Keroro, Tamama and Giroro take control of the narration. | |

Anime Sumomo displays some princess behavior in her first appearance — the plotline is basically Roman Holiday with a galactic pop star. Natsumi Princess Summer in Keroro RPG. | |

Aliens Steal Cable | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_f0982bbf | comment |
Aliens Steal Cable: Even in the original, Pekoponian media saturates the lives of aliens, though in the dub this is exaggerated. There's even a Galaxy Quest reference, where the Keronians believe Star Trek episodes are the actual documented voyages of a real Enterprise. | |

Last Episode, New Character | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_f09b6509 | comment |
Last Episode, New Character: There were three of them in the last episode of the 7th season shown throughout all of Japan (257. 258 had an initial limited Tokyo-only run), two who probably will return later if the anime continues. The characters were the supremer commander of the Keronian army, an invasion AI called DK-666, and also Haru Hinata, Fuyuki's and Natsumi's absent father. The last one basically only had a cameo appearance though, and his face wasn't even shown. | |

Identical Stranger | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: The Musha Kero saga takes place on a planet full of people resembling our heroes' friends. Their actual characters range from disturbingly similar (Fuyuki, Momoka) to completely different (Natsumi, Saburo) to something from out of left field (Mois.) One episode revolved around a girl named Asami who looked exactly like Angol Mois going around and mugging and/or beating people up. The only difference between them was that Asami's eyes were blue while Angol Mois' were gold. It turns out that when Angol Mois first came to Earth she saw Asami beating up the "Sleazy 26" gang and decided to model herself after "Earth's Greatest Warrior," per instructions from her father. | |

Interactive Narrator | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_fa1d0606 | comment |
Interactive Narrator: As per Rule of Funny, the characters can hear everything the Narrator says (Natsumi asks him for fashion advice in one case), and finally the Narrator appears on screen (wearing a mask) in episode 40. In the English dub, he frequently gets into arguments with the guy who writes the subtitles for the on-screen Japanese text (the latter often choosing to write insults rather than actually translating what's written). An entire episode revolved around how Kururu got tired of the Narrator's comments, and caused even more mayhem. This causes all the characters to Blame the narrator Later in the episode... | |

Canon Immigrant: Several characters later in the series appeared in the anime before the manga, most notably Pururu and the casts of the 2nd and 4th movies. There's also Angol Fear, who made her first appearance in Soul Calibur IV. Of course, all those characters were originally created by Mine Yoshizaki anyway. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: It is very, very difficult to get Fuyuki pissed, but God help you if you do. Even Natsumi becomes terrified of him. Angol Mois can qualify, considering she can quickly go from not hurting a fly to trying to destroy the world and back again. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Fuyuki, Natsumi, and Aki — whose names contain the words for Winter, Summer, and Autumn respectively. Fans correctly speculated that their Disappeared Dad would have the name Haru, for Spring. Most if not all of the Keronians, and some other aliens such as Sumomo, have a three syllable name with the second syllable being the same as the third. Many characters have names that can be and are converted to numbers, such as Mutsumi (623), Natsumi (723), Kululu (966), and many others. Helped by the fact that there are several different ways (old fashioned ways, modern ways, ways to avoid saying death...) to say the numbers, and that similar sounds (K sounds about the same as G, for example) can be used to keep character's names in this convention even if a syllable doesn't match up exactly with that of a number. However, three of the main five frogs don't exactly follow it (Keroro->K66, Giroro->G66, Dororo->D66, though as Zeroro, he may have been 066) and Tamama doesn't fit into it at all. | |

| Sgt. Frog (Manga) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The best known example would be the depictions of Keroro's GunPla collection, down to individual versions. Some of the Keroro toys manufactured can even be connected to Gundam toys. One episode shows Momoka hammering a table that Tamama is standing on, catapulting him into the air — the action freezes for a second as labels appear to indicate force applied, fulcrum, and work produced for an impromptu physics lesson. When a Transformation Ray turns some koalas into humans, one of them says, "Mummy told me I must never leave this tree, or I'll die." Eucalyptus leaves really are the only form of sustenance for koalas, so there's some truth behind this. Crosses into Product Placement in the fourth movie, with Shion's Citroen-looking limo and Aki's 2CV. How many of us have even heard of the Anomalocaris before this show? | |
