Sgt. Frog/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** Viper. The first Viper is treated by the Keroro Platoon as a deadly serious threat, who easily captures one and brings the rest to their knees. From that point on, they seem to be a steadily decreasing threat, ''despite'' each successive Viper tending to 'upgrade' in some way.

*** Keroro in Tamama's eyes who laments that the legendary Gunsou san he's heard in stories is just a silly man child. Of course in that particular episode/chapter (episode 336 and chapter 140) the readers {{spoiler|and Zoruru}} see a glimpse of [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Keroro we've never seen before]] .

** Oh, also -- Tamama, with his immense jealousy of anyone who might steal Keroro from him, usually would have blown her to smithereens. The guy's had a 200+ episode-long rivalry with the only other female character who's remotely close to Keroro, so you'd think he'd be a little bit more pissed off about Pururu just waltzing in.

** [[Subverted]] by the 6th season. Keroro is petrified when he sees Pururu's face without make up at the end of episode 266. It wasn't just a random joke either, as the opening of the 7th season references that episode directly. Episode 301 also clearly spelled out how only the old men, Bariri and Joriri, actually have a crush on her currently.

* [[Die for Our Ship]]: What with all the [[All Love Is Unrequited]] going on, the more militant shippers take out their frustrations on any character they see as getting the the way of their favored ship.

** Very often in fanfictions with "Natsumi x anyone".

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: The fan theory that the Hinata [[Disappeared Dad]] is named 'Haru' in line with the family [[Theme Naming]]<ref>'''Natsu'''mi = Summer, '''Fuyu'''ki = Winter, '''Aki''' = Autumn, hence Spring = Haru</ref> is particularly popular.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Oh god, how much this show relates to this trope.

* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Loads of it. Momoka's name is even a pun off of "moe moe girl."

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/keroro_gunsou/v02/c015/7.html This creature] may look [[Cloverfield|familiar]] to some of you...

** The climax of the 3rd movie involves using Nanola to turn a normal Gunpla into a full-sized RX-78-2 Gundam. The following year would see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwPcGNIgEOM Bandai's attempt at a real one.]

* [[Fetish Retardant]]: Paul aquiring the physical attributes of Aki. May even go as far as to be [[Nightmare Fuel]].

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Dub example—While making Ikinari dumplings at lightning speed on an assembly line, Angol Mois mentions feeling "just like I Love Lucy in that episode of ''[[I Love Lucy]]''".

** A real-world example is Keroro's name. Initially, there was confusion that caused some English readers to call him Sergeant Frog, since even though his name wasn't changed for the English release, that was the name the series got. Most people know better now, though.

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: Very common in the manga, not so much in the anime. There are still a few though, like the [[Great Mazinger]] landing in the middle of a battlefield in episode 145A during a quick montage of Urere's plan to conquer Earth.

* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Some of the Asian countries with a substantial Keroro fanbase actually have mandatory national service, like Taiwan and Singapore. Do the math on that, and you've got a generation of otaku fanboys who have served in the army - rather like Keroro himself.

** Well actually, I doubt many Taiwanese and Singaporean citizens spent their time in the army lounging around in their basement building Gundams.

** Manga Keroro even breaks the fourth wall to lampshade this, telling everyone to clean up their act because they're going to be an anime.

*** Tropers on the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] page have gone even further, suggesting that the anime is a cheap money-making scheme orchestrated by the Keronians.

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: That Private Tamama is just so cute! She eats candy and is in love with Keroro... [[Double Take|Waaaaait...]]

** Lampshaded by the Dub, in which the narrator tells people to search for ''[[Space Sheriff Gavan]]'' on Youtube. Interestingly, that show actually ''was'' shown in America, but it's highly likely that most viewers never saw it.

* [[Woolseyism]]: The [[FUNimation|FUNi]] dub looks set to be full of these -- Natsumi using her leek on Giroro's boobytraps has already been turned into an outright reference to the [[Memetic Mutation|Loituma Girl]].)

** Fuyuki to a lesser extent. Before Keroro came into his life, he had no friends and nobody joined him in the Paranormal club. This really shows in the Valentine's Day episode.
