To mark the upcoming theatrical release of "Shin Gekijōban☆Keroro Gunso Fukkatsu shite Sokkō Chikyū Metsubō no Kiki de Arimasu!" on June 26, 2026, two anime icons have come together for an unprecedented partnership: "Keroro Gunso" (Sgt. Frog) and "Mobile Suit Gundam." This is the first official crossover between the two series, although "Keroro Gunso" has always lovingly referenced the Gundam world—whether through parodies or the main character's pronounced fondness for Gundam models.
To celebrate the event, four specially crafted collaboration illustrations have been released. Two of them come from "Keroro Gunso" creator Mine Yoshizaki, who has reinterpreted the iconic film posters of the "Mobile Suit Gundam" trilogy in the Keroro style. The other two images were drawn by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the character designer of the original Gundam anime. His motifs show Amuro Ray and Char Aznable posing together with Keroro in a friendly setting—a true fan highlight.
Accompanying this, a short clip from the film has been released, in which the Keroro team fights against an overwhelming enemy. In dire need, the Gundam, so beloved by Keroro, suddenly appears to assist the frog soldiers. However, the situation remains tense, as a red Shā Zaku (Char's Zaku) stands against the heroes.
The collaboration also extends to the model-building world. The Keroro Robo Mk-II is being released in the colors of the Titans faction—the set "Keroro Gunso Plastic Model Collection Keroro Robo Mk-II (Titans Color)" will hit stores on June 26. Also announced is the "RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (Keroro Specification)" model, which will be distributed exclusively via Premium Bandai. Further details are expected soon.
Following the film screenings, selected theaters will offer merchandise items such as large acrylic stands, swim ring keychains, and forehead curl clips. The Robo Mk-II in Titans look is also expected to be available there.
"Shin Gekijōban☆Keroro Gunso" is the first theatrical film in the series since 2010 and is part of the 20th anniversary of the anime franchise. Directed by Fumitoshi Oizaki, with screenplay and overall direction by Yūichi Fukuda, marking his animation debut. The familiar voice actors of the main characters are back on board. Interestingly, for the already announced new TV series, set to start in fall 2026, a completely new voice cast is planned—so the film may offer a final chance to hear the usual voices.
The story of the new film revolves around eerie incidents across Japan, seemingly caused by a new invader. The Keroro team takes on the challenge, while mysterious Keron siblings named Aruru and Deruru appear.
