Originating as a gag-manga by Mine Yoshizaki, published in ''Shonen Ace'' starting in 1999, and every bit as goofy as its English title, ''Sergeant Frog'' would suggest, '''''Keroro Gunsou''''' is the story of a not-so typical Japanese family and the alien frogs who turned their lives upside-down.
When pre-teen paranormalist Fuyuki Hinata (age 12) and his tomboyish sister Natsumi (age 13 in the anime, 14 in the manga) discover an alien in Fuyuki's 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 [[Hot Mom]] Aki, living as something between a servant and a pet.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Alien Among Us]]: ...well, that's kind of the ''idea''. There are other aliens on Earth besides the Keroro Platoon, though.
* [[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.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Momoka likes Fuyuki, Chiruyo likes Fuyuki, Alisa likes Fuyuki, Fuyuki likes... being nice? Natsumi likes Mutsumi, Giroro likes Natsumi, Koyuki likes Natsumi, Tamama likes Keroro, Mois like Keroro, Keroro likes his Gundam models, Bariri likes Pururu.. and the list goes on, including situations involving one
** Played straight to hilarious results in episode 320.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: About half the time, when it's not parodied to hell and back.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Natsumi's 'school rival' [[Princess Curls|Imogo]] [[Noblewoman's Laugh|Rie]].
* [[Amusing Alien]]
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Several different cases. See [[Canon Discontinuity]] below for one; there's also the {{spoiler|Kappa friend of the Ghost Girl, implied to be Keronian}}.
* [[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. '''HE JUST LEFT'''.
**
** This gets played for laughs too, several times. In the fourth movie, {{spoiler|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}}.
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Rabbie/[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Lavie]].
Line 86:
* [[Berserk Button]]: You hurt Natsumi, Prepare to be filled with bullets by Giroro.
** Also, Tamama/Momoka are Berzerk ''Keyboards''!
** And
*** And when some visiting aliens broke some of his models:
{{quote|Keroro: 'What flavour is your blood?!'}}
Line 371:
** 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.
* [[Mildly Military]]: Done intentionally, the squad is lazy and incompetent, and their only oversight is the reports Keroro has to send back to his superiors, in which he [[Blatant Lies|lies outrageously]].
▲* [[The Minnesota Fats]]: Giroro's brother, Lieutenant Garuru.
* [[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).
