SYNOPSIS
In order to understand the nature of Nasumi x Giroro fandom, one must first know the basics for Keroro Gunsou! So, here the story goes...
In AD 1999, alien invaders come from outer space to Planet Earth. They are from the Planet Keron, froglike aliens with one sole purpose for being on our planet: its complete invasion. A platoon of five Keronian soldiers is sent to the surface to begin the operation.
However! Our main man and leader of the platoon, Sergeant Keroro, becomes hostage of the two Hinata children: Fuyuki and Natsumi. Fuyuki confiscates Keroro's Kero Ball, a weapon that could destroy all of Earth. Now, Fuyuki, a boy who is very interested in supernatural happenings, becomes very curious about the Kero Ball, and decides to try it out himself.
He accidentally sends an "extreme danger" signal to the awaiting fleet of Keronian spacecraft, orbiting Earth. Because of this, they decide to abandon the mission and leave Keroro and his comrades behind.
So Keroro decides to stay with the Hinatas and do their chores as the search for his missing comrades continues!
Along the way, Keroro ends up finding more of his missing comrades [including Giroro!] and hilarity ensues.
KERORO GLOSSARY
Keroro Gunsou has lots of interesting phrases that it uses, so I will list what they are. Some of these words are mainly just made up, while others are from the Japanese language.
* Denotes a Japanese phrase.
Bokegaeru * - lit. "Idiot Frog" This is what Natsumi calls Keroro and co.
De Arimasu * - Doesn't really mean anything. It's how Keroro usually always ends his sentences.
Keron - The planet that the Keroro Platoon is from.
Kero Ball - A powerful tool owned by Keroro which is said to have the power to destroy all of Earth.
Keroro Platoon - The five members: Keroro, Giroro, Tamama, Kururu and Dororo, are all Keronian invaders.
Gochou * - lit. Corporal.
Gunsou * - lit. Sergeant.
Pekopon - Planet Earth. This spelling is from the anime version of Keroro Gunsou.
Pokopen - Planet Earth. This spelling is from the manga version of Keroro Gunsou.
INTRO TO GIRONATSU
GiroNatsu is the abbreviation for Giroro x Natsumi, the fandom of the prospect of Giroro and Natsumi being a couple.
GiroNatsu seems to be a very valid fandom, as Giroro had a crush on Natsumi ever since he first met her. Natsumi doesn't quite feel the same way about him as he does her, but she most certainly could have some hidden feelings. Read the arguments on the Love page.
It's really a cute coupling, as Giroro is a very hardened, intense character. The fact that he has a major soft spot for a Pokopenian [his enemy!] makes him interesting and an overall more likeable character. Giroro probably wouldn't be nearly as appealing as he is if he didn't have this affinity for a human female. :D
I'm sure that for anyone who hasn't seen or read Keroro Gunsou, this coupling seems very weird, but rest assured, it's very likeable!
