[dollarneko]

[kerorowhump]

since i am not sure if or when i will ever get back to that coming out day posting i will instead post full platoon headcanons here 🔥🔥🔥 under a cut because i intend to maintag and some people may not give a shit. also i expect to ramble. appending a big "to me, anyway" to all these because if i said that fifty times in the post it would be repetitive

keroro's gender is most accurately described as multiflux! he identifies with multiple genders at the same time- male, female, keronian genders you wouldn't get, exclusive genders only keroro understands- at different intensities at different moments. he mainly uses he/him, because, like, he's employed, but he appreciates being referred to in less masculine ways every now and then. because he's kind of a pretty girl ngl. he's also pansexual (i don't personally make a distinction between bi and pan, and usually default to the term bisexual, but idk keroro seems like someone who would label himself as pan dont ask me why) with a preference towards men. hey i can add nonqueer headcanons here too cant i. his ass has so much ADHD. also i posted yesterday that his behavior closely fits the description of narcissistic personality disorder HOWEVER thats a condition i dont know much about so im hesitant to decisively headcanon it for him yknow

tamama is bisexual (personally i have not witnessed proof of tamama caring about girls but the wiki is so confident about it that. well bi erasure would be bi erasure. we aint about that here 🫡) and also transgender 🔥 he's in the keronian version of the Awkward Transmasc Phase where if you're not read as a woman youre usually read as a middle schooler, and used to be more self-conscious about it, but since he's transitioned socially- he's tamama-kun within the platoon, and most pekoponians are completely unaware he was ever seen as a girl to begin with- he's quite happy with where he is now! anyway you know how i mentioned in one doodle post that i hc that fully metamorphosed female keronians are larger than males? well, being a bit of a brawler, tamama isn't really opposed to that concept, so although at his age Frog HRT would most likely trigger metamorphosis, he'd prefer to wait and metamorphose naturally before Starting Tesfrogsterone. best of both worlds! this trans frog is gnc and theres nothing you can do about it 🔥🔥🔥

giroro is bisexual. that's all he would have answered with in the coming out day posts because if youre cisgender whats the point in mentioning your gender right? anyone can tell he's a guy. look at that sharp, angry-looking brow, that big, gnarly scar, those monstrous fangs. those could only be appreciated on a man. and that's good, right? a soldier should be tough and intimidating. he's perfect. he should be proud. he says he is. so why is he so tired...? he shakes his head, and goes back to cleaning his arsenal. he's just frustrated that the invasion isn't going anywhere, that's all. really. Sorry i think i got possessed where was i. um i think giroro can also have little a autism as a treat

kululu is aroace, with no particular interest in seeking either of those types of relationships, romance averse but neutral towards sex. and he's apagender: he doesn't particularly care what gender people see him as. he does have his quirks- he enjoys presenting himself as girly every now and then, and is quite amused by being referred to as an "it" on occasion- but he considers these things more of a hobby or performance art than parts of his gender. just a bit of seasoning, some excitement. never let them know your next move. anyway hes also audhd (adhd autism combo pack). his headphones are noise cancelling, without them he will hear all his computers and the lights and the air conditioning and he will become the joker. i've also considered giving him Unique Alien Chronic Pain- i've got this kind of jokey headcanon where he secretes capsaicin due to his diet, sort of like a poison dart frog, and i thought an interesting consequence of that would be if that caused a constant burning feeling on his skin- but like idk if that would be a good idea? chronic pain is also not something i know much about

dororo is male, for all intents and purposes, but he doesn't care much about the label. he doesn't really believe in the gender binary these days, which is something he learned from living with koyuki; binary gender doesn't really exist in nature. he doesn't label his orientation, either, but for different reasons: being a professional assassin with a strict regiment doesn't really give a person much opportunity to explore in that area. he was never really in the dating scene, and doesn't expect to be thrown into it any time soon. if your relationship with the most loyal and taskfocused soldier you know is holding strong after you choose to defect from your planet and protect the one he's trying to invade, it's hard to imagine anything that could possibly break it down, you know?

i feel like this should have some kind of conclusion or something instead of just ending but idk lol. you get bonus headcanon which is that fuyuki is transmasc swag to me. aaand post

YAY I FOUND THE TAMAMA I WAS LOOKING FOR :)

[kerorowhump]

I have to say! working on the ita dub tag has showed me that indeed, this show has more differences in adaptation than I expected, even if I still find most stuff is the same. it's really fun for me to find and compare.

I was reading up on other internet posts about changes in keroro, and someone mentioned a clip in episode 23. I had no idea there was a change here!

Since gundam and its lore are pretty much unknown in italy, it's... fairly understandable they'd try to omit them. But the way they went about changing this scene is interesting to me because it still works in the context, even if it's like... flat out wrong in the context of gundam.

dialogue is as follows

"what are you saying? I'm the original!"

"decide who stays, the rest goes!"

"it's incredible, unheard of, a true heresy!! do you see the red star on the helm and this yellow star? they don't have it, and I do! the original (authentic) robot has the pointy helmet, but the imitation that's a knockoff doesn't have it! have I been sufficiently clear??"

"who cares about this stupid stuff?" "yeah, and the pointy helmet is useless anyway!" "QUIET, YOU DON'T HAVE THE STARS!!!"

"hands off!" "don't touch it! this is my stuff! and this is my house! get lost!"

"sergeant keroro?"

"I'm almost tempted to kick out all of them."

So obviously that's not a knockoff, he's specifically referencing Char's model against the other common one. But speaking as someone who just watched four eps of the OG gundam after not knowing anything about it for my whole life... I wouldn't have gotten that. So? I mean... obviously it sucks they removed the references to gundam this way, but I understand why.

And they do start mentioning gundam by name from s2... which, I think I've never seen on tv, actually, because a post mentioned that they reintegrated the eyecatch from s2, with a dubbed phrase by keroro, but I don't remember that. Fascinating, I'm gonna post the eyecatch in a sec.

And like. I don't know, I think it's kinda smart to turn it into a "real vs knockoff" scene, because those are indeed fake copies of keroro he's battling against anyway, so it still works? and when the average quality of adaptation truly has me finding scenes that LOSE ALL SENSE because the people in charge didn't care... I can appreciate this for what it did. I guess it is similar to them removing the mention to Amuro and Tem (look at me knowing their names now...) and substituting it with another joke that works in context. I appreciate the effort to... put SOMETHING there, you know??

Other stuff... apparently the jpn dub doesn't call her Angol Mois all the time... just Mois. And it seems thankfully the crush Tamama has for Keroro is mostly untouched... so they say. I'll see about that. Though I must admit it's really obvious so far.

WAIT ONE LAST DETAIL I READ ABOUT. APPARENTLY!!! in one episode that's an homage to magical girls, keroro says a magic formula that in the original is a series of mobile suit model names. obviously, that wouldn't have made sense to an italian audience, and you wanna know what it was changed to? guess. take ANY guess.

wrong. you guessed wrong, because they referenced Ojamajo Doremi instead. Well, the italian version of her magic formula. (she usually says "Magi Magia Doremi!" instead of "pirika pirilala popolina peperuto" and according to this post he says "Magi Magia Magi!". I'm honestly dead... the adaptations... they're communicating...) And I'm not even surprised because doremi at that time was quite popular to the audience that would've watched keroro (kids). And honestly fuck everyone and everything, this was done for me... that's my top 3 favorite anime. Damn. Ok that's all.
