Banban Analysis

I think Banban's story is the most interesting part of Garten of Banban and I'm extremely excited to see how it plays out. This discussion is essentially going to breakdown what Banban is and go through some of his behavior in the first four chapters.

Banban is the #6 experiment created by combining human genome from one of the doctors named Uthman Adam with Givanium for the upcoming Bring-A-Friend Day.

At the time Case #6 was considered a success outside one flaw. He views himself as human and as the actual Uthman Adam.

Once Case #6 and the real Uthman Adam were introduced to each other this lead to disaster.

As described (in Case Report #13 Update #3) Case #6 has a complete meltdown.

Which results in two things happening:

1. Case #7 named Banbaleena is created.

Since Dr. Weverly Mason was the only person Case #6 was willing to communicate with it's speculated her genome was used to create Banbaleena. Especially since the real Dr. Uthman and Dr. Mason are close.

While Case #6 and Banbaleena both view themself as their human genome donor only Case #6 was introduced to his.

It's unconfirmed how Case #6 perceives Banbaleena. Either as her human genome donor or something else. Regardless he recognizes something in Banbaleena resulting in their long hug.

Banbaleena helps Case #6 feel less alone however it doesn't change his disobedient and aggressive behavior.

Sidenote while this part is also speculation the parallels felt too similar to not mention:

During Chapter 3 when Case #6 has us make Nabnab a companion he say, "Nabnaleena was that solution. We had a theory that Nabnab was as aggressive as he was due to his loneliness."

While part of the reason we're creating Nabnaleena is because Nabnab is on the hunt making it too dangerous to do anything. I think since Banbaleena helped ease Case #6's loneliness that's part of the reason he has us help finish creating Nabnaleena. As a way to help Nabnab no longer feel lonely.

2. They used a newly-modified Givanium to lower Case #6's ability to self-think.

We actually witness Case #6 fall victim to his primitive instincts during one of the secret tapes in Chapter 3:

Case #6 is constantly struggling in between an internal battle Uthman Adam (who he perceives himself as) VS Banban (his violent primitive instincts).

After all it's Banban who has it's iconic quote:

Even though Case #6 has met the actual Uthman Adam he still perceives himself as the real one.

We witness this through countless dialogue. Even during the creation of Nabnaleena this is mentioned. "We had a theory that Nabnab was as aggressive as he was due to his loneliness." Referring to himself as one of the doctors despite the fact Case #6 isn't.

The saddest example being this conversation in Chapter 4.

"I feel now is a good time to introduce ourselves, which we haven't done up to this point if you can believe it. I am Uthman. I worked here before everything came crashing down, literally and figuratively."

"My coworkers and I should've spoken up sooner. Perhaps all of this should've been prevented then. But then again, my coworkers weren't really friends in those last couple of months anyway, so it would've needed some good planning."

"You ever had those friends that suddenly turn on you for no reason? To say mine turned on me would be an understatement. They suddenly stopped talking to me. They looked at me like I was some sort of monster. Sometimes I lose my temper, sure, but it seemed excessive. I was and still am confused, to say the least."

The awful way Case #6 was treated by his "friends" could also explain his behavior in Chapter 2.

"Look, i'm sorry I hit you but you gotta understand I needed something from you that I could only get if you were unconcious and I was all out of sedatives. If you'd seen me, you wouldn't have trusted me, I know it. But there was one thing I didn't lie to you about, and that's me knowing why you're here."

I find Case #6's confusion SO INTERESTING!!! You have a character who knows others view him as a monster yet he cannot understand why. Since when Case #6 looks in a mirror he sees "himself."

While Case #6 holds all of Uthman's memories before his creation.

Who is the ACTUAL Dr. Uthman?

We have these two notes.

Along with one letter between Dr. Uthman and Dr. Mason discussing the ball pit which reads, "This thing can barely support the amount of children we have enrolled in the kindergarten. We're having double that tomorrow. Something really bad is going to happen, and we need to be as far away from here as humanly possibly when it does. We've been on the bad side of the wrong people for a long time, and if we're still here when everything goes down, it will be the end of both of us. If not at the hands of angry parents, then at the hands of our superiors."

"A place like this should not exist. The stuff we've witnessed here should not exist. The casualties that will result from this catastrophe will only serve the greater good; which is shutting down this place once and for all."

"I'll have a plan ready for tomorrow. now, you just pack your things."

We don't know if this plan, Bring-A-Friend Day or something else are the result of how things have turned out.

Regardless both Dr. Uthman and Dr. Mason were unable to escape. We don't know what happened to Dr. Uthman but we do know Dr. Mason is currently with our child (from the notes they've left).

Boarding passes found in Chapter 1:

There's one MAJOR difference between the real Dr. Uthman and Case #6. Unlike the real Dr. Uthman who was prepared to abandon ship even viewing the potential disaster and casualties as something for the greater good.

Case #6 wants to help and even acknowledges, "My coworkers and I should've spoken up sooner."

While Case #6 may be hiding another ulterior motivate since he retains most memories of Uthman including knowledge of the secret down in the basement.

I think overall he's being honest with his goals mentioned in Chapter 2, "But there was one thing I didn't lie to you about, and that's me knowing why you're here. You're here for your children. I, too, am working towards saving them if you can believe it. But someone else has them. Someone far stronger than you and me both that resides deep in the abyss."

However due to the internal struggle he experiences falling into his violent primitive instincts from the newly-modified Givanium. When control is lost that alters his goals to eating our pancreas.

Case #6 is constantly having to work around himself.

For simplicity in this upcoming section I'm going to refer to regular Case #6 as Uthman and the Violent Instincts as Banban.

Chapter Two

The first Case #6 we meet is in Chapter Two is Banban.

At first tricking in the player and hitting them from behind Banban says, "Three birds with one stone!"

Note: Mr. Kabob Man the statue in Chapter 3 that imitates Banban also says the quote, "Three birds with one stone!"

"I get all of your keycards, I get the perfect specimen AND I don't have to deal with that thing down there. And it's all thanks to YOU! Oh come on, I didn't hit you THAT hard. Or maybe I did. Either way, it's best you take a nap while I prepare for our little surgery."

Despite this they also leaving us a note warning about the attack. However it reads as more of taunt to me.

While Banban mentions a surgery and using us a specimen nothing actually happens to the player.

Uthman could’ve gained controlled but I think that Banban was possibly prepping things when we woke up earlier then expected.

Since during Banbaleena's class Banban says, "Also teachers, please keep in mind that we are on the lookout for a very, very naughty student believed to be accompanied by a drone. If you catch them, call Principal Banban’s office immediately."

Very very naughty doesn’t feel like something Uthman would call the player.

When we later reunite with Case #6 there's a glass barrier between us. We can tell this is Uthman due to his behavior. He apologizes, is upfront with his goals and informs the player of a way to escape Banbaleena and Jumbo Josh.

Chapter Three

We first encounter Uthman over the speaker system.

"Glad to see you made it! I don't know how you did it, but then again you survived a giant elevator crash so I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

"Also, again, I apologize for hitting you over the head. In fact, it is for this reason that I believe we should not meet face-to-face. You see, for whatever reason I am prone to violent instincts, and I do not trust myself to not give into them again."

"I have locked myself inside of a surveillance room. That way I can help without being a danger to you."

Uthman sticks to his word helping the player throughout the chapter. It's ONLY when brought face-to-face by Stinger Flynn that Case #6's violent instincts come out. Being drawn to the smell of the player's pancreas.

"You can run away, but the smell of your pancreas will always draw me to you . . ."

Resulting in a chase scene and eventually a fight between Jumbo Josh, Banban and Stinger Flynn.

Chapter Four

When you reunite with Uthman in the infirmary he says, "When the Queen mentioned having many new visitors in one day, I knew it had to be you. Listen, whatever happened to me . . . Whatever I tried doing to you . . . Just know it wasn't actually me. I was forced to obey without much thought. I tried communicating with you from afar for a reason. Now you know the true reason why."

"Still, I want to make it up to you. The queen filled me in on the situation with the elevator. I want to help with that. I feel much more in control now. I'll come help you find the missing pieces of the elevator. I just need to rest for a little bit and I'll meet you at whatever that station is."

Which Uthman does until a fight between him and Nabnab breaks out. Which I think is really cool considering Nabnab is his opposite. Both in name and character wise.

Despite Uthman transforming into Banban during the fight he is able to restrain himself. Not attacking us for our pancreas even though we're so close.

This is the final scene we see Case #6 AND I'M SOOO INVESTED IN HIS STORY AND SEEING HOW IT PLAYS OUT!!!!

Also I like how Case #6 cares deeply for some of the other experiments. Whether it's some form of kinship or out of a sense of duty believing to be partially responsbile for creating them.

Examples of this are:

When Jumbo Josh falls for one of Sheriff Toadster's trap Case #6 comments, "Poor Josh . . . I can't imagine how confusing this has all been for him . . ." Holding no resentment despite the fact they fought in Chapter 3.

In Chapter 4 Case #6 intends to hand over the imposter statue AKA Mr. Kabob Man to someone he describe as, "very close to me." (This is speculated to be Zolphius). Even commenting, "He must've gotten very lonely, but I got him a new friend."

In Chapter 2 Case #6 indulges in Banbaleena’s behavior. During her class over the speaker he refers to himself as Principal Banban.

I find it interesting the non-human version acts more humane than the real Uthman.

[gl6mp]

banbaleena is such a tragic character. you're telling ne that this doctor / teacher has compassion fatigue after seeing children suffer and she was forced to work in a place where violence and nurturing others went hand in hand with each other, and she turned a blind eye to her trauma because it was the only way for her to survive? she surrounds herself with caricatures of people she knew, traits that she's familiar with and emulates that in her classroom because it's the only place where she has any sense of control. the weird kid table all correlates to stinger flynn: dramatic, smart, and weird. slow seline also noted that he was new when he first escaped his room, hinting at the fact that stinger flynn was this new, mysterious being that didn't fit in right. the cool kids table are all surface level who never get anything right, but their reputation lets them off the hook. this is similar to the coworkers in banban's kindergarten, and how people with higher statuses were allowed to clock in much later (stated in the second game). the mean kids are the ones banbaleena feels the closest to, because they represent that familiar feeling of being threatened by the people closest to her. she recognizes that these caricatures are unkind, but she doesn't mind as long as it isn't directed towards her.

she's mainly interested in herself and her survival, but her determination to find the player / "missing student" is admirable, because im not sure if weverly would have done the same. the kid in the first game left a note on the opposite sid of the ball pit stating that they saw ms. mason board up the ball pit before leaving, which was also shown in the beginning cutscene. we don't know if it's because she feels guilty of something or if it's for another reason. still trying to figure out what that equation she wrote meant, the one in the jumbo watch room. the function of happiness = infinity?.. she intrigues me

holy fucking mother of text wall. send post

Adam Uthman and Weverly Mason

[paste1cqke]

Adam uthman and weverly mason

[hairscare]

Kill yourself.

if youre able to get past the dumbass concept of garten of banban it actually has some really interesting concepts about nihilism and identity. especially banban, hes adam uthman (or uthman adam? im not sure which is right) but hes not, he thinks he is because he comes from him, but hes his own person while also being banban. i think his reaction to banbaleena, who has the same situation with thinking she is weverly mason, really shows how he feels about it. he thinks hes uthman, and he cant understand why suddenly the other scientists are studying and hurting him. hes stuck in a weird middle place between humanity and being a mascot. banbaleena similarly believes she is weverly, and has convinced herself that inanimate objects are students just so she can teach someone. stinger flynn has jellyfish dna which makes him long for the ocean, but he knows he will never even see it. in the garten of banban universe, dna carries not only instincts, but also memories. to have these memories of someone or something else and know that you will never experience them yourself is so crazy to be in garten of banban

anyways come off anon and maybe ill give a fuck what you have to say :D

[isad-chan]

Hi fuzzysheepdreamer here speaking.

I was curious about your human Banbaleena hair and I was curious did you match her hairstyle with Welvery Mason's?

Yes! Weverly Mason presumably could be the genome donor of Banbaleena(same as Banban, Uthman Adam is the genome donor of Banban).

[syringeon]

So fun seeing lore discussions about banban!!! I may not agree with the weverly mason banbaleena theory, but its fun getting to see peoples reasons behind it.

i think banbaleenas donor was possibly a child. she is childish and acts more like a kid playing as a teacher. If she were someone like Weverly, she would probably be smarter and stuff.

Banban has Uthmans knowledge, so why wouldn’t she have weverly’s? Banbaleena is smart but she clearly isn’t as knowledgeable as an adult. She thinks she invented 2+2!!

I could be wrong of course but even then thats ok cus its a theory 👍

Weverly mason design + headcannons

[mute-call]

What on earth is happening?

"Um--" he starts, glancing helplessly from doctor to doctor. Did he miss some kind of memo?

What few words he can catch here and there are anything but encouraging. Attacked? What happened to Banban? Or-- oh, no, what did Banban make happen?

Steven takes a step towards the glass, torn between charging in to comfort the stricken Case and backing away from the confusing, frightening press of the scientists.

He's saved by Weverly, and can't help but slump in relief when he sees her.

"D-Doctor Mason, I-- this is certainly unexpected." He thanks her quietly as he takes the file, squinting as he tries to focus on the text while the rest of the doctors continue to talk around him.

...oh, god.

"But-- he was doing so well-- I don't understand!" Or maybe he does. Introducing Banban to Dr. Adam? That's far too much, far too soon! Steven would never have expected Banban to go as far as to attack anyone, but that must have been an incredibly stressful experience for him.

"Poor guy" is right.

"Is Dr. Adam okay? What did Banban do to him?" The report said "minor injuries," but still. The fact that the Case is capable of causing any form of damage is concerning.

"I--" Steven swallows thickly. He has a hell of a lot of questions, actually, but none that are more important than potentially stabilizing Banban. It isn't lost on him that the others are concerned enough about Weverly's safety to prevent her from going into the room, but seem perfectly fine with Steven risking himself. He can't bring himself to be upset about that, though; they're right. Dr. Mason's far less expendable than he is, and besides... he knows Banban isn't a real threat. The poor thing's just scared and confused, and what kind of a person would Bell be if he didn't try to help?

"No, that's alright. I can ask later. Just-- for goodness sake, can't we get these people away from him? Give him some room to breathe?"

He gives Weverly a slightly pained look, then takes a deep breath and forces on a neutral, blank expression. He doesn't want to make Banban any more upset than the mascot already is.

Alright, Steve. It's now or never.

"Hey, Dr. Adam," Steven says quietly as he enters the Case's containment chamber, slipping through the crowd as unobtrusively as possible. He's far less energetic than he usually is when he comes for their meetings. He doesn't come across as disappointed or frightened, exactly, but he certainly seems subdued. Careful. Cautious.

"I heard you-- you had a tough time yesterday. I know I'm not who you wanted to see, so if you want me to leave, I will. But... I'm also here. If you want to talk. Okay?"

"...Uh, I appreciate it." It's strange how enthusiastic Steven is about the suggestion. He almost feels like he's being talked to like a child that needs to be encouraged, but he brushes off the feeling. Bell just wants to help. Even if... it's still not all that ideal.

Ah, there's that 'bell'. It doesn't startle Uthman quite as much as it does Steven—he's used to working on limited time like this—but he hadn't expected it, either.

"Of course, Mr. Bell. Take care," he bids the man farewell with a raise of his hand, averting his eyes from the door. It's better if he doesn't look. He might be tempted to run.

The next time Steven's scheduled to come in, the circumstances are much more dire than usual; the sight he's greeted with is more than concerning. Doctors are crowded around Case 6's containment chamber. They shoot Bell a glance, then start whispering hurriedly among themselves without even acknowledging him.

"Should we still let him go in? I mean, it's—Case 6 won't cooperate with anyone," a skeptical doctor mutters. "It hasn't attacked anyone else, but..." Past the ogling, 'Case 6' is sat down, curled up in the farthest corner of the room, with his back facing the glass. Stop looking at him. Just leave him alone. "The results Bell gets are promising, though. Maybe it'll cooperate with him, if no one else," another pipes in to argue.

Just when the atmosphere gets too oppressive, a familiar, bubbly face pushes past the crowd, and greets Steven with a big smile. "Hello, Mr. Bell!" Weverly Mason greets him cheerily, hands clasped together.

"Um, it's probably obvious, but something... happened. I'll hand you the file detailing it." She offers him a piece of paper, dated just yesterday. She scuffs her shoe against the floor, muttering to herself as she casts her eyes to the glass, "...poor guy."

Case 6 was introduced to its human genome donor (A doctor in the facility, who will be referred to as U.A for short) today, and the results were not what was hoped for. Case 6 first greeted U.A like it would any stranger, civilly, with a handshake. Case 6 up to this point has been referring to itself as U.A. When the real U.A finished explaining they were the original genome donor, they attempted to explain the science behind Givanium procedures, too. Case 6 became suddenly agitated and attacked U.A, before being subdued by security. U.A is being treated for minor injuries. Since the revelation, Case 6 has refused to communicate with any and all personnel, with the exception of doctor W.M, whom it had personally requested to speak to. The request has not been granted for W.M's safety. Case 6 is being heavily monitored.

She speaks up again after a moment, voice low. The other doctors have moved back now, but they're still watching. "You don't have to go in, but it'd be a huge help if you tried talking to him." Her tone is almost pleading.

"Let me know if you have any questions!"

[maddymoreau]

Me: Can we think about something other then Garten of Banban?

My Brain: Banban mentions in Chapter 2 that only the best of the scientists performed Givanium-related procedures. Bittergiggle created many experiments while trying to create the Ultimate Jokester. So does that mean if Bittergiggle has a human genome donor they were a scientist?

Are all the human genome donors from the scientists?

If that’s the case then is that the reason a huge emphasis was put on later experiments like Queen Bouncelia and Sheriff Toadster to have a role/new identity? To ensure breakdowns like the one Banban had never happen again.

Did they attempt to do this to Banbaleena (with less success) to get her to cooperate? She’s less in tune with her teacher role then the other characters. Even commenting as the player escapes in chapter two, “NO! Not again! I actually tried to be a good teacher this time!” Despite trying she didn’t fit the role of teacher very well.

Banbaleena has a poster in her room called The Cycle of Kindness: Showing that Kindness leads to a cycle of Betrayal -> Sadness -> Evil -> Betryal. Banbaleena never met her human genome donor. So if she believes she’s the actual Dr. Weverly Mason then does Banbaleena blame Uthman Adam for her current state? It’s only after meeting Banban her behavior changes and in the secret tape we see her destroy the cake with the two of them as the topper.

In Case Report #1 Update #41 it says “This reveals the critical necessity of ensuring that each case recieves its genomes from no more than 3 sources/donors, lest we are left with cases that are permanently animalistic and wild.” Is Bittergiggle’s odd split design because he has two human genome donors (Givanium + human + human)? Or because he’s made from a combination of inorganic material (like Jumbo Josh) and organic material (Givanium + human + inorganic material)?

Why do some experiments have stitch marks??

Slow Seline was promised something painless what exactly was she promised?!

WHY IS ZOLPHIUS SORRY?!!?!
