Suppaman appears in Penguin Village, believing himself to be a superhero while the locals view him as a nuisance. He lacks physical prowess, only managing to defeat Arale and Gatchan in games of rock, paper, scissors. Despite his lack of genuine heroism and his reputation as a troublemaker, Arale unexpectedly begins to admire him for reasons that remain unclear. This contrast between his self-perception and reality drives the narrative, highlighting the absurdity of his situation as he attempts to navigate his new environment without the skills he assumes he possesses.
