Further story arcs (based on OC battles and tournaments) involve the clan taking an interplanetary bounty hunting mission, Baninja entering a cooking contest, and Baninja's ongoing pursuit of a land-dwelling squid. The next series of canon episodes, "Apples and Origins," are said to focus on how Baninja (and presumably the rest of the clan) came to be alive. And a ninja.

The series borders on [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]] as the often adorable banana [[Killer Rabbit|graphically kills humans]] on his quest to save his fellow bananas from a "hot fudgey-coated fate." Action scenes are reminiscent of [[Samurai Jack]], and the world setting evokes the [[Invader Zim]]-esque mentality that [[Humans Are Morons]]. Also, [[Humans Are Bastards]]. The Flash animation is often brought into the "real world" through live-action video clips, ala [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]].

The ''Banana-nana-Ninja!'' website also features a daily fortune cookie generator; a weekly webcomic (now on hiatus) starring [[Meaningful Name|Haiku]], a watermelon who [[Strange Syntax Speaker|only speaks in haiku]], an "Ask Baninja!" Q&A column in the spirit of ''[[Ask a Ninja]]'', and a Flash game that pits the BNN characters against each other in [[Showdown At High Noon|quick-draw battles]].

After that, he gets his own word balloons (the only word balloons ever used in the entire series).
