Personality

Sarge is a strict and aggressive drill sergeant. He commands his men proudly, insulting them if they fail. He is constantly shouting orders and giving speeches, much to the Free Ranger's displeasure. In truth, he cares about his men very much, explaining that he was hard on them so that he would not lose any more of them. He's very emotional, crying over his men on multiple accounts, and later on learns the true value of friendship.

Storyline

He is met early in Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, from when Chibi-Robo first enters the Foyer. He perceives Chibi-Robo as a threat, commanding his men to fire at him. Using the Mug, Chibi-Robo can protect himself from the bullets and reach the Basement, leaving Sarge to realize that Chibi-Robo might not be a threat at all. Visiting the Foyer again, Sarge stands on the stairs as he trains his men. From this point, Chibi-Robo can join the Free Rangers in their training, eventually facing against Tao with them to save the lost Free Ranger, Memphis.

He also appears in Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji! with two other Free Rangers. They can be found under the Kitchen, searching for lost treasures left by the family.
