Banana-nana-Ninja!: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''[[In a World]] where a banana can be a ninja, one extraordinary little banana -- '''is a ninja!'''''}}

 

 

The initial story arc, "Banana Shop of Horrors," introduces Baninja and his best friend/sidekick Seppuku ([[Meaningful Name|who often ends up impaled or otherwise gravely injured]]) on their first foray into the "outside world" beyond their Clan Hideout. They get a craving for ice cream and stumble upon a sundae parlor called The Happy Banana. When Baninja learns that the Happy Banana parlor [[Inn of No Return|isn't a day spa for bananas]], the banana snaps and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Baninja [[Literal-Minded|hops on a bus]] to the grocery store; encounters a starving demon-child in a grocery store; fights The Butcher, The Baker, and The Candlestick Maker; and finally takes on the [[Big Bad|manager]] of the [[Fictional Counterpart|PriceCo Supermart]].

* [[But Wait! There's More!]]: is used by Sudoku in a pitch for the Omni-Functional Kitchen Gadget.

* [[Boss Battle]]: The Rub-a-Dub-Dub squad, Kostlowski, the Feast Master Champion.

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Actually, it's difficult to tell. Sometimes Baninja's stick-figure legs are shown with shoes or tabi boots during a [[Super Move Portrait Attack]].

* [[Chef of Iron]]: Sumo Baker

* [[Fictional Counterpart]]: The PriceCo Supermart is a parody of Wal-Mart, CostCo, etc. The Feast Master tournament is an intergalactic [[Iron Chef]].

* [[Floating Continent]]: In the "World of the Damned" story arc.

* [[Fun with Subtitles]]: In the Feast Master story arc where [[Deadpool]] is a guest judge, he plays his characteristic role of [[Fourth Wall Observer]] and gripes about his subtitles being the same color as those of Baninja. After that, he gets his own word balloons (the only word balloons ever used in the entire series).

* [[Fundamentally Funny Fruit]]: It's a banana with a sword. [[Freud Was Right|How much more phallic can you get?]]

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]

* [[Holy Backlight]]

* [[Humans Are Morons]]: They are also child abusers, mindless killers, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|bad drivers]].

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: The Butcher of PriceCo, the Sumo Baker and the Candlestick Maker use chicken bones, magical baked goods and candle-chucks, respectively.

* [[Lethal Chef]]s abound in Feast Master.

** Baninja gives this trope a twist in Vol. 3.

* Baninja competes against a [[Mad Scientist]] in Feast Master.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Baninja is a banana who is a ninja. Seppuku regularly gets impaled. Haiku Melon speaks only in haiku. Sudoku is a [[Child Prodigy]]. Master Fuji and Granny Smith are apples. [[Captain Obvious|Grasshopper is a grasshopper.]]

* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: The Feast Master Champion

* [[Multi-Take Cut]]: When Baninja pokes Sumo Baker in the navel, producing a [[High-Pressure Blood]] torrent that blasts Baninja away.

* {{spoiler|The Iron Chef}} is a [[One-Winged Angel]].

** From a [[Soul Jar]] to a [[Humongous Mecha]]

* [[People Puppets]]: Seppuku uses [[Our Elves Are Better|Kyra's]] nervous system as an antenna to broadcast a distress call to Baninja in World of the Damned Episode 3. She is zombified during this period and speaks the radio transmissions aloud.

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Haiku, the clan's resident spiritual guru, can levitate, teleport, use telekinesis, and shoot [[Eye Beams]].

* [[Punny Name]]: Pretty much all of the main characters' names, as well as I.R. Kostlowski (the PriceCo Supermart manager) and Kikyotushi.

* [[Quip to Black]]: "Let's go shopping!"

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When Baninja breaks Kostlowski's pencil.

* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: When [[Hell's Kitchen|Gordon Ramsay]] dies after eating Baninja's "Dirt and Sunlight Souffle."

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: [[High-Pressure Blood]], dismemberment and a general disregard for ''human'' life are to be expected in any ninja franchise. There are also instances of child abuse and phallic humor.
