Viper is an antagonist-cum-minor character in Sgt Frog Abridged. He is an infamous space pirate with an apparent history with the Keroro Platoon. The flashback in Episode 7 reveals that he is Dororo's father, and he begins reappearing occasionally from thereon-out. Though their relationship was not explored until Ask GiroDoro, Dororo believes that Viper's criminal life and general absence is the source of his numerous friendship and mental issues.

Viper returns in Episode 18 with an apparent interest in reconnecting with Dororo, as well as Keroro, who was revealed shortly before to be Dororo's missing little brother. Episode 19 further drives home his promiscuity and his ever-widening/spiraling family tree.

Trivia

• Ezekieru, editor for Geass TAS, was originally asked to voice Viper, but it didn't work out and he suggested his friend BigTUnit1 instead. BigTUnit1 is now part of the lead trio behind TheMidnightFrogs, a writer for the series, recurring voice actor, and a regular on TheMidnightFrogs Podcast.

Viper Relatives

Grandpa Viper

Viper's father appears in the Episode 7 flashback. He was a kindly old man who helped the young Zeroro, Keroro and Giroro find Viper's hidden treasure. He however seemed to have memory problems: not only couldn't he remember his own grandson, he had been on that same train since before his mustache turned from brown to gray.

He returned in SFA19 for a voice-only cameo, having apparently been on the train so long that he fused with it. He was voiced by ThornBrain.

Grandma Viper

Viper's "mom-son" appeared in Episode 19 on the same train as Dororo's Mom for no explicable reason. She is Dororo's grandmother, but she is also apparently Viper's son. Her only purpose in the episode was to emphasize how screwed up Viper's family tree is. She was voiced by Travis in a slightly higher Viper voice.
