soul_campaign | episode 017 [video; March 2nd]

[Welcome, everyone! You might be wondering: What’s happening? Is this another weird frog thing again?

Well, that’s a good question! In fact, if the paper letters stapled to the sky-blue background are any indication, this is a place where you can ask all of your questions! And someone is actually going to answer them.

KERO-SAN’S MAGICAL QUESTION JOURNEY~

All of the ‘O’s have been mysteriously replaced with cutouts of stars. (Not that mysterious though, really. Keroro’s running this show. He likes his stars.)

And look, kids! Here comes ~~Keroro~~ Kero-san now! From the bottom of the screen pops a small green puppet that bears a striking resemblance to a certain green alien.]

Welcome, kids!

[Beside him, another puppet pops up, this one is red and has a scar across one of its eyes like a certain red ~~daruma~~ ~~ruthless alien invader~~ frog. When the puppet’s mouth moves it speaks in a falsetto that’s actually a little weird sounding. Like whoever was behind the voice was trying too hard to not sound like themselves.]

W-welcome! [What the hell is with the kids thing, Keroro!? There are a lot of adults on this network, you know!!]

[Call him Kero-san, you idiot! And the kids show vibe is to make this whole experience relatable and friendly! (To who, Keroro...?)]

Ah, Giro-san! Do you know what day it is today, de arimasu~? [and without even waiting for a response, Kero-san cuts in, smacking Giro-san in the face with his tiny cotton hand] It’s the very first Kero-san’s Magical Question Journey Network Show~

...what’s with that stupid name?

[Spoken in Giroro’s regular voice, but in a whisper that he hopes the communicator wouldn’t be able to catch. Then he clears his voice because, right. He needed to stay in character didn’t he? And then in that forced falsetto again:] I mean...wow, really?

[He’s ignoring you, Giro-san. Everything that’s said out of character will be ignored from now on.]

Yes, really! Today the topic of our show is....

Let’s Learn Abouuuuuut....

KERON! That’s right, everyone! The green and yellow planet of Keroro and Giroro’s universe, Keron. The beautiful 58th planet of the Gamma Large Nebula! So come with your questions, and we will answer them!

I knew it!

[Keroro recognizes your voice, Sougo, even if he can't actually see you right now.

Kero-san the puppet, however, simply turns away and gives a quick wave of his hand.]

Okay! Next question, de arimasu!

It's a puppet within a puppet. Puppetception!

I've...I mean...Keroro-san has already told you before that he is not a puppet, de arimasu.

He's lying. It's the secret to the entire Keronian race.

He was not, de arimasu! Besides, he's much more qualified than you are in knowledge of the Keronian race, de arimasu! [But not that much more qualified.]

All I have to do is read the manga, right? Then I'll know all I need to know.

You would not, de arimasu! There's much more to it than that, de arimasu! Not to mention the fact that there is a lot that isn't covered in the manga, de arimasu! [Like whether or not Keron has any countries.]
