Season 1 - Episode 36 - Aired 12/4/2004
Winter looms and temperatures take a dive - Keroro is introduced to Fuyu-Shogun, the General of Winter, which is really just a term given to the cold air currents originating from Siberia, but Keroro visualises Fuyu-Shogun as something resembling Demon Emperor Arago from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. When the simple act of stepping out the front door proves too much for Keroro, he decides to go through endurance training to combat the cold front, and subjecting the Hinata children to the blizzard simulation against their will only shows them to be far more resourceful than Keroro was. When Tamama tells Momoka about the blizzard simulation and the accidents that followed, Momoka offers to let the Keroro platoon continue training on her private snowy mountain resort - with the real intention of getting closer to Fuyuki, as usual. While the Keroro platoon starts trekking up the hazardous snowy mountains, Momoka puts her own plan into motion, activating the mountain resort's snow generators - but Kururu chooses to activate his private satellite's weather manipulation function at the same time, and the mountain resort is plunged into an artificial ice age.

When nobody actually signs up for said lessons, Keroro makes the rest of the platoon learn Dororo's ninja arts instead - but none of them seem to be serious about learning anything. To make matters worse, 556 sees their ninja lessons as competition against his own attempt to give Space Detective lessons, and tries to shut the operation down. After Natsumi's radio show was interrupted by 556's invasion, it gets interrupted yet again by a pterodactyl flying into her room - it turns out that Keroro, inspired by a certain Hollywood movie, is using Keronian technology to clone dinosaur DNA and open a theme park featuring said dinosaurs.

Hilarity ensues as Giroro distracts himself from faux-Natsumi's advances with physical training and weapons maintenance - causing an exasperated Sumomo to attack Giroro, and incurring the wrath of the real Natsumi when she sees her own towel-clad self leaping across town. When she opts to stop them on her own, Kururu gives her his latest invention - the Natsumi battlesuit. Natsumi finds herself stuck with Kururu's battlesuit, which has a tendency to activate when anyone nearby utters something even remotely sounding like the attack command. When the invade command kicks in, the battlesuit AI takes over Natsumi completely, causing her to destroy anything the Keroro platoon sends after her. Giroro is forced to confront her as well, and Kururu gives him the battlesuit deacivation code... "Natsumi, my love. Kiss me tender and hold me tight, forever!"
