==== Flamethrower ====
* Flamethrower
'''Flamethrower''' is a passionate member of the Banzai Blasters who, alongside Car Crash and Ben, is tasked to keep watch over Molly in "[[Quiet in the Museum!]]". He does male cheerleading on weekends which he is ashamed to admit, and according to car crash "he had the coolest name".
* [[Car Crash]]
 
* Ben
==== [[Car Crash]] ====
* Crusher
'''Car Crash''' is a member of the Banzai Blasters that's infamous for getting in car accidents. He, alongside Flamethrower and Ben, is tasked to keep watch over Molly in "[[Quiet in the Museum!]]".
* Spike
 
* Dark Star
==== Ben ====
[[File:Ben.jpg|325x325px|thumb]]'''Ben''' is the most dim-witted member of the Banzai Blasters who, alongside Flamethrower and Car Crash, is tasked by [[Giovanni Potage|Giovanni]] to keep watch over [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]] in "[[Quiet in the Museum!]]". Due to his inexperience and lack of a "cool minion nickname", it is safe to assume that Ben must be a new recruit. While the other members seem to care about safety and are relatively harmless, Ben seems to have no problem with beating up a small defenseless little girl and had absolutely no remorse when his fellow Banzai Blaster Flamethrower got knocked out cold by [[Indus Tarbella|Indus]]. It seems that he is the least liked among the group's ranks because of his dim-witted nature.
 
Ben has white skin and orange hair. Since he has yet to earn his "cool" villain nickname, he's forced to wear a generic uniform and isn't allowed to customize it at all yet.
 
Ben reappears in the advertisement Heist Night as a sellable plushie, along with Car Crash who disguised himself as Ben for their upcoming stealth mission to steal the [[Ocean's Eye]]. Ben accidentally falls down form the air vent and is too weak to lift the diamond. It appears that Giovanni accidentally abandoned Ben when the former leaves to steal ice-cream.
 
==== Crusher ====
'''Crusher '''is a member with a large build. His nickname comes from his huge crush on Giovanni. He often gives Giovanni confessional gifts but Giovanni tends to eat them.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190198656587/all-canonical-especially-the-glow-stars-and</ref>
 
==== Spike ====
'''Spike''' is a purple-haired female member with spikes on her uniform's wrist guards and her helmet's. Like Crusher, she holds a major crush on Giovanni.
 
==== Dark Star ====
'''Dark Star''' is a member who has a cosmic/celestial-themed uniform. Though it wasn't confirmed, it is mentioned on JelloApocalypse's Tumblr that he might have an epithet <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189712070212/sorry-if-youve-already-been-asked-this-before</ref>. It was used for the sake of a joke, in which he teleports and has two of him onscreen at once. His epithet would be "Binary", like in Binary Star Systems.
 
His home bedroom has stars all over the ceiling.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190198656587/all-canonical-especially-the-glow-stars-and</ref>

=== [[Giovanni Potage]] ===
[[File:Giovanni wiki.png|350x350px|thumb]]'''Giovanni Potage''' is a former Banzai Captain. Giovanni was originally going to deliver the [[Arsene Amulet]] to "the big boss" so that he could get a promotion to the next Banzai Rank before Bugsy and Arnold decided to steal it for themselves so ''they'' could get the promotion and let the rest of their minions beat him up. After being humiliated by his fellow Banzai Blasters, Giovanni decided to quit the organization to become a great supervillain all on his own, because he disapproves of the way the Banzai Blasters treat their minions.

Revision as of 04:06, 2 November 2020

“

Arnold: Villainy is a dog-eat-dog world, little boy. You gotta be cutthroat to survive! That's why every moron stays a minion, and the people with any REAL value move up!
Bugsy: That's how it is all the way to the Tippy-top of the pyramid scheme!

”
—"Redwood Run"

The Banzai Blasters are an infamous criminal organization in Sweet Jazz City that runs on a pyramid scheme.

Ranks

Banzai Blaster

Banzai “Blaster” is the lowest rank that someone can be in the organization. At first, you’re just a generic grunt in the generic uniform (ex: Ben). Once you’ve done something cool enough to make you stand out, you get a nickname and you’re allowed to customize your costume a little bit (ex: Car Crash). Anyone who wants to become a blaster has to pay $49.99 a month (plus tax).

Banzai Captains

Banzai Captains, like Giovanni, get to lead missions and get to add one big accessory to their outfit along with a few other subtle changes. Giovanni, for example, added a cape.

Banzai Vice Principal

Banzai Vice-Principals get multiple benefits such as even more customization options and silly cartoon gloves (ex: Arnold & Bugsy). Vice Principals come in pairs but only one of them is ever able to rank up. This is apparently done to encourage infighting.

Trivia

  • The "W"s on the Banzai Blasters' uniforms are actually confirmed to be sideways "B"s for Banzai[1].
  • Three of the Banzai Blasters seen in the "Western Arc" are a Heathers reference[2].
    • Since all three of them are named Jennifer, the crew goes with their nicknames Jenny, Jen and Niffer respectively.[3]
    • JelloApocalypse said that the blonde Jennifer is his favorite, despite the fact that she "absolutely doesn't matter and doesn't have a name"[4].
  • The Banzai Blasters were heavily influenced by Team Rocket and Giovanni's pink hair was inspired by the team's grunts having pink hair[5].
    • The Banzai Blasters were also named after the Bushido Blasters from Girlchan in Paradise!!.
  • If one of Giovanni's boys mentioned that they didn’t like being called a "Boy" he’d stop, but to him "MY BOYS" is a gender-neutral term, hence why he calls Molly and Spike boys.[6]
  • Jello imagines that the Banzai Blasters have a small unit who goes around and shakes down members for late fees, but that probably only happens if you’re at Captain rank or higher.[7]
  • There are so many low-ranking Banzai Blasters that Jello doesn’t really think they care if they stop paying and fall off the map.[8]
  • People solely join this organization because they are idiots.[9]
  • The higher the rank, the nastier and more dangerous a Banzai member is.[10]
  • If the Banzai Blasters were a group of villains from a Pokémon game, they would use Falinks as the grunts' main Pokémon. [11]
  • Jello stated that male Banzai Blasters uses the generic model of Ben.[12]
