During the following presentation board talk section, themed around "the Keroro Platoon struggling through their bonds in this film," each guest revealed an episode where they recently felt friendship or a bond. Watanabe answered, "My pet dog." Sharing a story about going camping with her dog, she revealed a common trait with her character, stating, "I closed the tent's zipper in an empty campsite and huddled up inside a tiny secret base. Realizing I love that kind of thing made me think I'm quite similar to Sergeant Keroro."

Jesse stated, "The bond of muscles." He spoke about the bond with his fellow group members, saying, "We decided to tone up our bodies and build muscle for our upcoming concerts, so I've been hitting the gym with the SixTONES members. Even when I go alone, I take photos at the gym and send them to our group chat on LINE." ano answered, "Playing FPS games with Soshina-san," showing her friendship with him by adding, "We play FPS games together online, and Soshina-san is incredibly kind. He sends me a massive amount of healing items just for me." Hasegawa answered, "Autographs at local Chinese restaurants," stating, "I love local Chinese restaurants, and when I stumble into a place and spot my comedy partner's autograph, I feel a slight bond with him."

Furthermore, playing on the film's tagline, "Love Saves the Earth (Pekopon)," they challenged a "Pekopon Fishing" game where they had to rescue Earth (Pekopon)-shaped balloons using fishing rods. They engaged in an intense cooperative game to win prize presents for the audience based on their score. Jesse and ano were appointed to the rescuing roles. Handed a fishing rod, Jesse tried to hook Hasegawa instead of Pekopon, filling the venue with laughter as the game began. First, ano took on the challenge. With some support from Hasegawa, she successfully hooked multiple high-scoring Pekopons. Next up was Jesse, cheered on by shouts of "Good luck!" from the venue. He successfully gathered Pekopons one after another with a look of intense focus.

The game progressed in a warm, harmonious atmosphere, safely securing the prize presents for the audience. In the scene where they announced the winners' seats via a lottery draw, instead of just reading out the row and seat numbers, Jesse cracked a joke by saying, "I really want to eat pork cutlet (Katsu-retsu/Row)," provoking another burst of laughter from the audience.

Finally, closing out the event for the visitors who were about to watch the completed cut ahead of everyone else, Jesse concluded, "The absolute biggest highlight is the narration," and despite getting teased by Hasegawa, who was in charge of the narration, he added, "But seriously, it's precisely because of the narration that there are so many parts you can enjoy even more. Also, on a personal note, I'd be happy if everyone falls in love with Aruru and Deruru. This film has powered up significantly, so please spread the word 'Jesse-Jesse'!" Watanabe sent out a final message to the fans, stating, "With such a perfect group of people gathered here for Sgt. Frog, please make sure to enjoy yourselves!" The event then drew to a close wrapped in warm applause.
