The Keroro Platoon Our five playable characters are Keronian soldiers—small frog-like aliens from Keron. Keroro's platoon was sent to Earth with a mission to invade it. They're... still trying? It's... complicated?? Anyways!  Sergeant Keroro  CV: Kumiko Watanabe Battle Power: ★☆☆☆☆ Smarts: ★★☆☆☆ Seriousness: ★☆☆☆☆ Trickery: ★★★★☆ Battle Power in His Glory Days: ★★★★★ The hero of our story. While attempting to invade Pekopon one day, he causes something to go awry... Private Tamama  CV: Etsuko Kozakura Battle Power: ★★★☆☆ Smarts: ★☆☆☆☆ Seriousness: ★★☆☆☆ Trickery: ★★★☆☆ Jealousy: ★★★★★ His adorable appearance hides a terrifying strength. But when he gets mad, things get ugly. Corporal Giroro  CV: Jouji Nakata Battle Power: ★★★★☆ Smarts: ★★★☆☆ Seriousness: ★★★★★ Trickery: ★☆☆☆☆ Love for Natsumi: ★★★★★ The serious soldier type. Continually frustrated by Keroro's procrastination on the invasion. Secretly in love with Natsumi Hinata. Sergeant Major Kururu  CV: Takehito Koyasu Battle Power: ★☆☆☆☆ Smarts: ★★★★★ Seriousness: ★☆☆☆☆ Trickery: ★★★★★ Inventor Power: ★★★★★ The platoon's intelligence officer. Loves to mess with machines.

Part 27: Back To Business The Keroro RPG LP is back—in video form, with 75% more Narrator!  Nothing like wasting time on a shiny new boat to get our bearings after a long hiatus.--- Extra Info Ikinari Dango/Surprise Dumplings  Much like in the game, Surprise Dumplings are made with red bean paste, Japanese sweet potatoes, and rice flour. You can even make them yourself! In the Sgt. Keroro anime, Keroro kept trying to make and sell Ikinari Dango.  I think the real-world tie-in snacks sold better. Artes/Skills learned this update: Tamama Soul Chakra: Heals the party by 15% of each target's max HP. So, multi-hit Chakra, basically.

Part 28: The Reluctant Heir (Part 1) A new town, a not-so-new face. --- Extras 326/Saburo/Mutsumi Houjou/623   This character's name and age varies. In the Sgt. Keroro anime, and any spin-offs based on it, he's known as Saburo, a brilliant-but-lazy middle school student. At night, he stars in his own radio show as the mysterious Mutsumi. While Natsumi (and secretly Giroro) are huge fans of Mutsumi's show, they don't know his true identity. In the manga, Mutsumi Houjou is a little older, and doesn't have a secret identity, but is mysterious nonetheless. And Natsumi still has a huge crush on him. Manga-verse Mutsumi also has an adoptive alien dad.   This is N326. He's so serious and boring-perfect, he has to practice being more dad-like for when he sees Mutsumi again. Daimyo  Daimyo were Japan's feudal lords, second in power only to the shogun from the 10th century to the mid-19th century. In the Edo period, daimyo were determined based on the rice production of their territories.

Glad to see that this LP has been resurrected. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Keroro and his platoon of dorks and weirdoes.

Part 29: The Reluctant Heir (Part 2) The Keroro Platoon escorts Sannojou through a wetland full of dead bodies (probably) on their way to the Mountain Shrine. --- Extras  The Haunted Marsh, with its broken war banners and foggy mire, is probably a reference to the Battle of Sekigahara. You can read about it here, or watch the excellent Extra History episode about it here.  Long ago, at the end of Part 26, Mois gave us her flip phone/planet-destroying weapon, the Lucifer Spear. When calling Mois as a Support in battle, she appears in her true Angol form, and clobbers the enemies with a non-world-ending fraction of her power.  Namco released this game to arcades on 1986, and it got ported to multiple systems later on. Kagekiyo, the main character, appears as a Support in Keroro RPG. I forgot to record actually obtaining it, but it's in a treasure chest in the Haunted Marsh, appropriately enough. When called, Kagekiyo uses Whirlwind Blade to spin his sword repeatedly through whatever's in his way. Here's a link to a longplay of the arcade version of Genpei Toumaden. I also found an English-subbed promotional video ripped from VHS. It's... interesting. Give it a look. Keparrow List Better Herb x2 (heals 50% HP for one ally) Miracle Orb (revives one ally with full HP) Strength Tonic (cures Weakness) Petrify Heal (cures Petrify) Angel Bell (lowers encounter rate for a while) Curry Spice (Curry recipe ingredient) Power Stone (Blue Key) (completely fills one ally's Blazing Rise gauge) Herb (heals 30% HP for one ally) Fruit Parfait Recipe (one of the Desserts; fills the party's BR gauges by 35%)

BONUS CONTENT! Kero Zero Short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74iW_kSMNaM On the day Keroro is supposed to leave for Earth to begin the invasion, he sleeps in, and misses the space-bus. So begins the Kero Zero short that came out in 2009, shown with the fourth Keroro movie. Kero Zero became a whole mini-series within the anime itself, showing how things went down on the trip to Earth with the newly-formed Keroro Platoon.

Part 30: The Reluctant Heir (Part 3) Sannojou helps Keroro and his merry frogmen solve the three trials waiting within the Dragon Mountain Caves. --- Extras ♫ New music ♫ That Which Blocks One's Path   Youkai Douchuuki is the 1987 Namco arcade game that our latest Support, Tarosuke, stars in. When called, he charges up and fires a ball of energy, his main attack in the game he came from. You can watch the arcade version here, or the NES version here with all five endings. Keparrow List Curry Spice Space Creature x2 (Main Dish recipe ingredient) Ruby (Blue Key) (sell for cash) Antidote (heals poison) Angel Bell Revival Orb (revives an ally with some HP) Ancient Nostrum (heals 100% HP for one ally) Devil Bell x2 (raises encounter rate for a while) Defense Berry (buffs Defense for one ally in battle) Herb Artes/Skills learned this update Giroro Divine Bomber: Giroro's third Musha Arte. He fires an orb of light into the air, which rains fire on his enemies at a distance. Reckless: Giroro's third Character Skill. When his HP goes below 20%, his Attack and Defense increase. Kururu Hell Burst: The fire-elemental nuke spell, and Kururu's third Musha Arte. Dororo Swift Slash: One of his best and most spammable moves. Does a straight horizontal slash through the target, and can be used in midair.

Part 31: A Boy Named Winter The Keroro Platoon returns to the Pirate Area to reunite with Captain Frog, who recently picked up a new passenger. --- Extras Fuyuki Hinata  Fuyuki Hinata, age 12, 7th grade. Paranormal turbonerd and all-around nice boy. The ambassador of Earth, more or less. While his older sister Natsumi stops Keroro's invasion plans with the power of violence, Fuyuki stops them with the power of friendship.  And by friendship, I mean Fuyuki and Keroro are the most heartwarming buddy-pair in the series.  We're talking "got a character song duet" levels of best-friendness, here. Chocolate... Salmon??  The Choco Salmon recipe raises everyone's Luck by 5 levels. In case you're really hurting for it, I guess.

Part 32: Giroro's Favorite Dungeon Giroro, manliest gun-haver in the universe, would probably die if you rattled Halloween decorations in his face. So let's drag him to the Ghost Mansion!  --- Extras Klonoa of the Wind  Klonoa of the Wind: Door to Phantomile came out on the Playstation in 1998, to the delight of everyone. Everyone.  Klonoa is a super-cute rabbit/dog/cat-thing with a Pac-Man on his hat. Can't get more Namco than that. He's voiced by Kumiko Watanabe, same as Keroro. In Keroro RPG, the Klonoa Support attacks by grabbing a Moo with his Wind Ring, and throwing it.Mappy  Released in arcades in 1983, and ported to everything ever afterward, Mappy puts you in the tiny shoes of the "Micro Police" to door some "Naughty Folks" to death. It even got featured as a minigame in one of the Keroro action games as Tamappy, maddening BGM intact. Keparrow List Revival Orb Victory Orb (Blue Key) (Revives all allies with full HP) Angel Bell x2 Ancient Nostrum (Blue Key) Magnifying Glass (shows enemy weaknesses) Defense Berry Deluxe Curry Spice (Blue Key) Caterpillar Fungus (heals lowered stats of one ally in battle) Petrify Heal

Part 33: Jungle Sergeant Keroro and co. visit some mermaids, and unwittingly become matchmakers. I actually applied buffs and super-effective weapons before facing the boss this time. --- Extras Gloopy Soup...?  This recipe the mermaid gave us requires five special ingredients: -Monster Gummi G -Moisturizing Lotion -Rich Honey -Starfruit -Banana Since it adds 80 to the party's Speed stats, that must be why she said it'll make you feel "light as a feather." Keparrow List Mega Battery (restores Battery by 30%) Sage's Stone (Blue Key) (restores everyone's HP by 50%) Victory Orb (Blue Key) Deluxe Curry Spice (Blue Key) Petrify Heal Curry Spice Special Curry Spice Purifying Chalice Better Herb Deluxe Curry Spice (Blue Key) Devil Bell Miracle Orb Artes/Skills learned this update I forgot to compile the ones learned last update, so this covers parts 32 and 33. Keroro Sea Punisher: Keroro's final Pirate Arte. Slashes forward and upwards to attack the enemy with an ocean wave. Water-elemental. Tamama War God Strike: Tamama's final Musha Arte. He jumps up and smashes the enemy down with his giant dango trident-thing. Cyclone Inferno: Tamama's final Pirate Arte, and one of my favorites. Tamama slams down that Destroyer God visor, and spins his giant axe in a whirlwind of death. Giroro Bullet Storm: Giroro's final Pirate Arte. Pumps the enemy fulla lead. Kururu Chrono Solid: Kururu's final Pirate Arte is a powerful water-elemental spell that impales the enemy on a rapidly-growing tower of ice. Dororo Tornado Slash: Dororo's final Musha Arte. Creates a small tornado to damage the enemy. Wind-elemental.

Part 34: Sunken Soldiers Winter joins the Keroro Platoon on a deep-sea dive into a world of pain. Keroro RPG will be on break next week. Expect the next update on November 3rd. --- Extras  Mr. Driller is well-known as a puzzle game, even if you don't know about the Dig Dug connections. It's been released in arcades, consoles, handhelds, PCs, and phones over the past 17 years. Here's a gameplay video of the arcade version. Keparrow List Better Herb Attack Berry Defense Berry Paralyze Heal Panacea Artes/Skills learned this update Keroro Emperor Blade Dance: His third Musha Arte. Unlike the previous two blink-and-it's-over Musha Artes, this one carries Keroro forward several steps, slashing methodically through his enemies. It's a nice way to burrow into a pile of jerks. Giroro Soul Fafnir: Giroro's third Knight Arte. This attack fires off an aura dragon at an upward angle. Kururu Dynas Volt: Kururu's third Knight Arte. Summons storm clouds to zap the enemies multiple times with wind-elemental magic, and covers a decent portion of the battlefield.

Part 36: Pointy-Eared Jerks After a little sidequest, the Keroro Platoon takes on the mind-bending challenges of the Forest of Elves... with a secret weapon. --- Extras ♫ New music ♫ Mysterious Mist  Wagyan Land  Wagyan Land (or Wagan Land) first came out on the Famicom in 1989. In it, you play as a little green dinosaur thing that screams at his foes. There have been 10 different Wagyan games over several platforms, including Super Famicom and Game Gear, as well as re-releases on mobile and Wii Virtual Console. In Keroro RPG, Wagyan gets to scream at enemy sprite recolors. He's come so far! Afro Sergeant  The password to enter the Forest of Elves, "Eantserg and roaf," is a switched-up version of Afro Sergeant, the first ending to the Keroro Gunso anime. The opening lyrics are, "The password is afro and sergeant." Wish I Could've Done It the Pokey Way  (click for big) This EarthBound sprite comic covers my opinion of the "one always lies, one always tells the truth" puzzles pretty well. And may have poisoned my opinion of them when I first read it in 2002, as well. Keparrow List (backtracking included) Corporal Giroro 3 KeroCard (Blue Key) Victory Orb (Blue Key) Tera Battery (Blue Key) Power Stone (Blue Key) Deluxe Curry Spice x2 (Blue Key) Attack Berry x2 Speed Berry Curry Spice Antidote Sapphire (Blue Key) (sell for cash) Sage's Stone x2 (Blue Key) Ancient Nostrum (Blue Key) Space Creature Defense Berry Bandit Eyedrops Artes/Skills learned this update Keroro Freeze Rondo: Keroro's final Knight Arte. He jumps up and plunges his sword into the ground, shooting ice crystals out of the magic circle that forms below him. Water-elemental. Tamama Full Metal Body: Tamama temporarily lowers his defense to make himself unflinchable for a while. Dororo Lightning Blade: Dororo's final Knight Arte. Zigzags through the enemy like a lightning bolt, inflicting wind-elemental damage.

Part 37: Windy Valley Time for some cordless bungee-jumping! Which has nothing to do with the actual plot goal, but I only saw five complaints. Also, no update next week because Thanksgiving. 🍗 --- Extras  Metro-Cross was released to arcades in 1985, and was ported to all the hot consoles at the time, like... ZX Spectrum. Chief Arino played this game in one of his challenges. Shortcaaaake.    I'm not here to explain shortcake. I'm here to make you hungry. Keparrow List 10,000 Gold (Blue Key) Panacea Ancient Nostrum (Blue Key) Ruby (Blue Key) Miracle Orb Angel Bell Purifying Chalice Deluxe Curry Spice (Blue Key) Revival Orb Strength Tonic Artes/Skills learned this update Tamama Hades Rave: Tamama's final Knight Arte. Envelops himself and his enemies in a ki explosion, like a good little shonen action protagonist. Giroro Drag Phantom: Giroro fires a bunch of little capsules at the enemy. Laser capsules. With those two Artes, the Keroro Platoon has learned everything! ...Except for the five secret Artes. But we'll get to those later.

Part 39: My So-Called Friends The final Legendary Armament is almost within reach, but everyone's got a bug up their butt for some reason. Frog and Toad are not friends, how dare you imply such a thing?! --- Extras Balloon Burst  This balloon-popping minigame has been around since Tales of Eternia's Chamballoon (probably). It appears in other Tales games under some variation of "pop all the dang balloons under increasingly tight time limits." Here's Chamballoon from Spiffo's Tales of Eternia LP. Keparrow List Caterpillar Fungus Golden Crystal (sell for cash) Paralyze Heal Bandit Eyedrops Better Herb --- We're almost at the end, which means lots of cutscenes, with lots of text to localize. I'm not really on a steady update schedule anymore, but I'll post videos as I finish them. After that, maybe I can find a ROM hacker to help me make a translation patch! That would kinda rule!
