'''''BANZAI PECAN: The Last Hope for the Young Century''''' is an indie, {{fanservice}}[=-=]laden [[BeatEmUp brawler]] by SERIOUS☆IMPACT WORKS.

Development for the game started roughly in 2008 with a release window originally intended for a late summer 2008 release, with a rather minimalistic presentation with small and simple sprites. In 2009, the developers used a new engine for the game with improvements in the sprite-work and the game itself. On August 6th, 2012, the game was finally released for Windows PC and it is currently available on [[http://www.desura.com/games/banzai-pecan-last-hope-for-the-young-century DESURA]] and [[http://www.indievania.com/games/banzai-pecan-last-hope-young-century Indievania]]. For a time it was up on Steam Greenlight during its release until the game received harsh backlash from those that never played the game, but it [[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93038901 returned]] years later by popular demand from the fans. The game's [[http://luminousriot.bandcamp.com/album/banzai-pecan-last-hope-for-the-young-century-official-soundtracks original]] [[http://luminousriot.bandcamp.com/album/saviorjun-the-demon-buster-official-sound-tracks soundtracks]] can be listened or purchased on Luminous Riot's Bandcamp profile at any price (including free).

* {{Expy}}: Banzai Pecan's outfit is similar to that of Harman Do Elan from the [[SuperNintendo Super Famicom]] game ''Battle Tycoon: Flash Hiders SFX''.

Set in the year [[YearX 20XX]], Pecan Apple and her new boyfriend Cinnamon Basil were out a date one day until a leader for a group of succubi calling themselves the Sexilicous Seven appears out of nowhere and kidnaps Pecan's boyfriend, something about being the key to an even bigger plan. Not one to sit idly by and let these demonic harlots steal her boyfriend while releasing chaos unto the world, Pecan invokes the powers of the Banzaider, the "[[{{Sentai}} super-soldiers of justice]]", and transforms into the [[BoobsOfSteel buxom]], {{badass}} [[MagicalGirlWarrior super-heroine of justice]], [[HenshinHero Banzai Pecan]].

* TomboyishPonytail: Flan's wears a ponytail with [[TomboyishSidetails sidetails]].

* RedHeadedHero: Banzai Pecan, going along with her hot-blooded nature.

* TheMerch: [[http://www.redbubble.com/people/brothakyo/works/10644401-we-can-regain-justice T-shirts and stickers]] with Pecan parodying Rosie the Riveter, another with Pecan shooting a Burning Star Shot, and one where Pecan facing off against Sugoi Maple are being sold at Red Bubble. A poster of the former can also be purchased.

** The GameOver screen showing a defeated Pecan slumped on her knees resembles ''VideoGame/PopfulMail''''s GameOver screen.

->CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING GAME FEATURES [[CrazyAwesome HYPER]] [[{{Catfight}} CATFIGHTS]] AND [[FreudWasRight TONGUE-IN-CHEEK INNUENDOS]]. SO ENJOY.

* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Her TSUN-goi]]: Sugoi Maple really doesn't like to be called this.

* LetsPlay: One for the Green Zone difficulty can be seen by [=
SparrowPlaysGames=] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6TrGsAEPWg here]].

* ThighHighBoots: Warn by Sugoi Maple, Sister Spearment, Mistress Mocha, and Lady Strawberry.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Sugoi Maple, Sister Spearment, Mistress Mocha, and Lady Strawberry all wears ThighHighBoots. Red Devillettes also wear them as well. Lemon-Lime, Tartar, and Pecan in her normal form plays this trope straight with thigh-highs.

** Bitter Almond sometimes shouts "[[Franchise/EvilDead This, is Bitter Almond's BOOM-STICK!]]"

* LetsPlay: One is currently being done by [=JudgeTheGreat=]. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVSrkqDrzKE here]]. One for the Green Zone difficulty can be seen by [=

* ScoringPoints: You gain points for landing successful blows and defeating enemies as with other brawlers, and extra points can be earned by collecting money and or collectibles.

** Lemon-Lime gives one to [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Iori]].

* ThisisforemphasisBitch: Pepper's reaction to Lady Strawberry busting down a wall in the Taco Hut: "We just fixed that, bitch!"

The gameplay is akin to beat 'em ups such as ''VideoGame/KungFuMaster'' and ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}'' as Pecan traverse through a single 2D plane as she fights enemies while avoiding the various hazards and occasionally {{bottomless pits}}. Our heroine has a repertoire of moves she can pull off against her enemies, such as [[RapidFireFisticuffs lightning-fast kicks]], [[DanceBattler flare kicks]], [[AssKicksYou kicking ass with her own ass]], air combos, and various special moves she can learn along the way. If Pecan find herself overwhelmed by her enemies, she can side-step out of the way of an attack or roll out of a tight situation.

* ActionGirl, ActionGirlfriend, and ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Pecan Apple when she invokes her super-powers and becomes Banzai Pecan.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Hunny Bunnies have a habit of ass-bombing Pecan while she's knocked down.

-> CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING GAME FEATURES [[CrazyAwesome HYPER]] [[{{Catfight}} CATFIGHTS]] AND [[FreudWasRight TONGUE-IN-CHEEK INNUENDOS]]. SO ENJOY.

* SmashingSurvival

* TauntButton: Not just a "flaunting" extra, but it actually [[BerserkButton ticks]] [[TurnsRed off]] EVERYTHING in the game when you do that. In v1.2.0., it now fills up your Heat Meter similar to how taunting enemies in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' works.
