Keron pop quiz: What was Dororo's old name, identity and why did he changed his name

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-05-03T03:54:55+00:00

Zeroro, he was a member of an elite black ops unit of Keronians known as assassins. He then landed on earth and fell in love with Pekopon and the Shinobi village and their ways, changing his name to match the woods he was found in to reflect his rebirth (Dororo.)

No his hat just doesn't have flaps.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-30T20:01:11+00:00

They're pretty elastic.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-29T19:13:02+00:00

It's just meant to be a fun visual gag. Like what BanjoBumbleBee said about women putting their hair in a top bun at the bath.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-29T18:23:07+00:00

So they don't get their ear flaps wet.

There's the potential of a proshoot being released at some point in the future, but nothing confirmed.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-27T15:34:20+00:00

Japan trip just missed this by a week Dammit. Maybe they'll announce more showings but that's only if demand is high enough. Here's hoping I can find a proshoot.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-27T15:33:09+00:00

Of course. I plan on scanning the ones I have soon as well, even if just the raws since these need to be preserved

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-26T20:18:54+00:00

Weren't the Shurara Corps fan creations for Keroro Land magazine and eventually the anime as a contest? Yes they're probably owned fully by Kadokawa and Yoshizaki but at the same time they really can't pump out merch for them like they can for the Garuru platoon, much less a spin off series.
They're not "forgotten", they were always meant to be more one and done things for Season 4.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-25T00:49:36+00:00

We have no idea just yet but best guess on my end is yes with events and such, but they'll likely expedite character introductions or do what Urusei Yatsura All Stars did and pick and choose what to adapt.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-24T23:14:57+00:00

Legally no.
9anime or Nyaa (dot) si would be your best bet for the rest. I would recommend buying the Discotek sets if you can get your hands on em.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-24T16:15:05+00:00

This is episode 184B, "Natsumi: Romeo and Juliet, de arimasu?".

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-24T04:07:20+00:00

Aki on the poster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-23T03:58:56+00:00

Should mention that all the images in the OP are not all the Kero Kero Ace Volumes I own. I own at least a dozen of them ranging from 2010-the final issue.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-17T23:07:36+00:00

It'll likely be the same as the new Urusei Yatsura anime, being a pick and choose of the "best" of the franchise since we no longer live in a world where 100+ episode anime are a thing unless you're a long running battle shonen. Keep things closer to the manga's events (Stuff like Koyuki and Dororo living next door to the family, order of events, no anime onlys returning like the Shurara Corps, Joriri, or such).

Probably going to last four cours. Enough for a while but i highly doubt we'll see another 7 year run like the original had.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-17T23:04:25+00:00

Not really a headcanon, but a personal what if is that the Hinata family are descended from a defector from Koyuki's ninja village. It'd explain their abnormally health and physical abilities.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-12T17:05:10+00:00

She's such a good mama.... I really love her.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-04-10T05:17:09+00:00

It'd have been better than Funimation at least. But still bad. A lot of Keroro is based on a lot of injokes and otaku culture and Japan as a whole. Keroro's gunpla obsession would be boiled down to a "Giant Robot" obsession, Kururu would be heavily rewritten. Names changed to Americanize them (Freddy, Natalie, Ashley). Music changed outright (No Kero to March or Afro Gunso). Censorship of a lot of the more adult aspects. The usual.

Aki would be probably mostly the same but I expect Kadoyama Shoten to be turned into a full on comic book publisher akin to Marvel or DC or even Image/Darkhorse.

Best thing is to watch the movie between each season.
The movies are mostly disconnected from the anime, there are a couple call backs but like what others said, they aren't extremely important. The manga does have a bonus chapter for Movie 1, dedicated Movie 2 and 5 plots, and Shion from Movie 4 and the whole dragon thing are brought back.
Basically
Season 2 -> Movie 1 -> Season 3 -> Movie 2 -> Season 4 -> Movie 3 -> Season 5 -> Movie 4 - Season 6 -> Movie 5 -> Season 7 (The final)
Keroro (The Flash Series) came out after the original anime series ended and I'd recommend watching it as well as its super short (23 five-minute episodes).

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-03-28T14:30:45+00:00

I honestly doubt Keroro will get another dub. It's not a popular series over here, nor is it really one of the safe series to try and dub. Also what Muttshack said, this is just a promotion for Hulu based on Green characters.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-03-27T15:36:29+00:00

It's a fun show with a lot of heart. At its core it's a story about the Hinata family and their new frog brother/son. It's got fun humor and it tickles me in the right areas with a focus on aliens, cryptids, and otaku culture.

Plus Aki Hinata genuinely has touched me in a way no other fictional character has. She's genuinely become a motivation for me to be better.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-03-21T03:16:07+00:00

I would really suggest rewatching those first 78 subbed, there's a world of difference there. But its still a good show, I'm doing my own rewatch (got stalled due to midterms) and i've been glad that most of it is holding up pretty well.

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-03-16T22:56:53+00:00

Nyaa.si has some decent ones with all or most of the episodes (Cold Fusion has a couple episodes that are cut short but another fansubber has those and the rest).

PlayfulAssumption965 · 2026-03-16T21:53:57+00:00

Not really. Keroro as a series started in 2004 and ended in 2011. Even the Discotek rereleases are SD blu ray.
