100% Authoritative Management Sanctioned BakedBanana AMA

[Mangamoz]

The thought that we mention banban so much, that he will live on as an AI in the cyberspace is terrifying.

Skynet is gonna end up saying "I'M BLOWING UP MANGADEX!"

 

[Mangamoz]

Wait, it all makes sense now...
The repetitive quotes...
The near instant meme uploads...
The seemingly endless archive of anime and game trivia...
The lack of real sense of reason...

Baked Theodore Banana

Are you...
AN AI!?

 

[TheTopAdventure]

It's kinda dumb, though - I'm not a scanlator....

It thinks the same thing about me, I'm glad it just hallucinates and doesn't leak my ahh

[TheTopAdventure]

BanBan, what do you think of the Rolands?
BanBan, do you prefer hags over lolis?

[...hold on a second, I think we have a problem with a file format mismatch - I'm having to figure out how to use a dialog file from some proprietary Japanese VN database structure, and it's not entirely straightforward.
...
Okay, let's try this again.]

When will the destruction of MangaDex come?

Not soon enough!

BanBan, what do you think of Domino's Pizza?

[HA HA! Time for @bigtiddyoneesan to tap in!]

What about my questions?

 

[Angry_Panda]

What about my questions?

We'll get there - in order to keep this organized, we're working down the list in order.

 

[TestAddress]

Webp is only good if you want to give headaches to people trying to rip your image. It won't stop the most tech savvy ones, but it works at least to keep your images hard to repost somewhere else.

(I fucking hate it myself though, can't upload all da cool hentais)

Isn't it just a png reskinned? Technically, I can open it in Paintbrush.

Oh she-, there goes my age!

 

[Grogzilla]

, Pikachu.

Something tells me Banban is a casual Shizuka or Kusuri enjoyer

Spoiler: Guess which is which

and a Tropius fan

Spoiler: Yes, those are bananas

Idk, just a hunch

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

[HA HA! Time for @bigtiddyoneesan to tap in!]

brilliantly answered. and as a certified Bananologist myself, i can say that they're completely accurate too!

i'll be sure to get to every question in this thread in due time. with our wits and power combined, we will divulge to the public who the enigmatic BakedBanana truly is.

 

[pandascepter]

[... ]

Look, I dont intend to ask any question... Have you seen me in any ama ask a question, mostly I answer them for a whimsy point. wheeeze

 

[Angry_Panda]

1. How did you pick your username? Was there like a banana on your desk?
2. Favourite fruit?
3. Favourite animal?
4. Favourite thing to eat and drink?
5. Favourite manga?
6. What are your thoughts on others doing an AMA for you?

[WHY DID WE GODWIN THE AMA? WHY??!?]

Which taiyaki is your favourite? Anko, choco, mustard (any type), jam, a different filling not listed here...?

...

where is the classic red bean paste azuki*

Do BanBans float or not?

Yes. [I'm taking this to mean they float when they want to, and don't when they don't want to.]

Already eaten.

Anyways, the Banvestigation question:

• What's the airspeed of an unladen swallow?
• Do you own a banana palm? A taiyaki tree also works, but the former is the main question. Answer has to be written in yellow.
• What's been your gateway drug into manga/anime?
• Do you wear a clock? If yes, how many? Answer has to be written in Red.
• Favourite Video game Villain?
• This question is false.
• What's the airspeed of a swallow laden with a banana?

• ... [Let me step in here: African or European?]
• I refuse to comply with your formatting rules.
• Kanon.
• A taiyaki tree, actually.
• Ayu.
• This is not a question at all?
• 🐦🍌

Does this classify as banana lolicon or milf? Or is it oyakodon?

[WOAH WOAH WOAH NO DOXXING]
[and then we got way off topic....]

Baked Theodore Banana

Are you...
AN AI!?

anyways, back to the asking:

Do you like me, banana?

Yes.

 

[yogurtman250]

BanBan, would you sacrifice the entirely of the Banana Gang to get your hands on banana pie?

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

When will the destruction of MangaDex come?

it's difficult to say, as Banana has expressed his desire to blow up MangaDex (and even the mod yacht) on multiple occasions, sometimes just as a general future goal of his, but more often now when something doesn't go his way. we can't say for certain whether this is a negotiation strategy on Banana's part, but experts (myself) believe he really is just that unhinged.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

BanBan, what do you think of Domino's Pizza?

Banana absolutely ADORES Domino's Pizza, even owning the limited edition Hatsune Miku pizza boxes (very rare!).

his love for Domino's possibly stems in part from the fickle, contrarian nature he's well known for— as 'Domino's hating' has become more mainstream, Banana's support for the franchise has grown in turn.

after an old comment of Banana's recently emerged, some have called into question whether Banana's Domino's love is as sincere as he claims. those doubts were soon overshadowed by a revelation from that same comment, however— the discovery that BakedBanana is, indeed, over the age of 9.

BanBan, what do you think of the Rolands?

Banana has found great camaraderie in the Rolands, from their inception until now. he's repeatedly stated in private Roland Council meetings that he never anticipated he'd find such like-minded individuals on a silly manga forum, and the ordeal has brought him to (happy) tears on many occasions.

like the other Rolands, Banana's role as a Roland has enlightened him to a genuine fellowship that many today are starved for. as quoted from Banana, "It's not until you look to your left and look to your right, only finding fellow Rolands, that you begin to understand how beautiful this world is."

now with Banana's spiritual Roland journey completed, his time as a Roland is coming closer to an end with each passing day. he's recently expressed interest in returning to his old Ayu profile picture. while this move would surely send ripples through Roland society, Banana's forewarning is actually a great display of goodwill towards Rolandkind, as it allows investors to price his departure into the Roland economy.

BanBan, do you prefer hags over lolis?

Banana strongly prefers lolis over hags, and even used to have Renne (a purple-haired loli!) as his profile picture in v3:

he also has a weird fixation with lolis eating Domino's pizza (maybe that's actually where his Domino's love comes from...?)

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

BanBan, what do you think of Kanon?

Banana loves the 1999 visual novel Kanon and its 2006 anime adaptation, considering the series integral to his character and self-image. Banana has relayed to others that he relates mostly to the characters Ayu (because she has absent parents) and Makoto (because she is retarded). in his free time, Banana enjoys playing video games while keeping Kanon open on his wall-mounted Steam Deck with a script running, both to add background ambience and increase his Steam playtime. when asked which fictional worlds he would wish to be reborn into given the chance, Banana ranked Kanon number 4 on his list.

BanBan, what do you think of taiyaki?

hello officer. only four questions per person, please.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Banban, when will you vote in the second Manga Tournament?
