''[http://www.banana-ninja.com/ Banana-nana-Ninja!]'' is a [[Web Animation|Flash cartoon]] based on the adventures of [[Anthropomorphic Objects|Baninja]], a masked banana on a crusade to save his fellow [[Animate Inanimate Object|sentient foodstuffs]] with his [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|banana ninja skills]]. Created by "Umbrascitor" in 2007 and launched on the web in January 2009, the series comprises animated shorts made for its own canon storyline, and a number of [[Original Character]] Battle Tournament events (such as [http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/OCBZ_Saltman2.html "Battle of the Elements"] and the [http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/FeastMasterVol1.html "Feast Master"] story arc).
 
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]].
 
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.
Line 59:
* [[Lethal Chef|Lethal Chefs]] abound in Feast Master.
** Baninja gives this trope a twist in Vol. 3.
* [[Literal -Minded]]: Baninja is naive to the ways of the "outside world" and misunderstands concepts such as [http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/BananaShopOfHorrorsPt2.html "hopping on this bus"].
* People are [[Made of Explodium]] at the end of [http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/BananaShopOfHorrorsPt4.html Banana Shop of Horrors Part 4].
* Baninja competes against a [[Mad Scientist]] in Feast Master.
