BANZAI PECAN: The Last Hope for the Young Century is an indie, fanservice-ladenbrawlerparody by SERIOUS☆IMPACT WORKS.Set in the year 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 "super-soldiers of justice", and transforms into the buxom, badass super-heroine of justice, Banzai Pecan.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 DESURA and Indievania.
Adorkable and Sexy Nerd: Even when Pecan is not kicking someone's ass as Banzai Pecan, she's still got her sexy, womanly curves going on as a school girl.
Art Evolution: During its development in 2008 the game use small sprite and simplistic visuals, similar to Vigilante. In 2009, and the use the Multimedia Fusion engine, the sprite-work was retooled to use larger and higher resolution character sprites.
Ass Kicks You: One of Pecan's Stylish Finishers and her dash attack. Ash Bunny and the Hunny Bunnies can use their posterior to attack Pecan as well.
Boobs of Steel: French Vanilla, she is voluptuous, large-breasted, and a wrestler out of the entire succubi ensemble. Pecan, while not as busty as her arch-enemies, is also "healthily-chested" and does equal amounts of ass-kicking.
Expy: Lady Strawberry could be Ryoko's long-lost sister.
Fanservice: Scantly-clad heroine? Check. An evil group of (mostly) healthily-chested succubi? Check. Every goon is a Ms. Fanservice? Check. Catfights? Big check.
Game Within a Game: After collecting 25 Savior Jun figurines and beating the game, you can play Savior Jun, an 8-bit, 5 level game, complete with a sound test and level select.
She's Got Legs: Pecan, and some of the other enemies as well.
Shout Out: The entire game is one giant shout-out to the beat 'em up genre from the 1980's and 1990's of video gaming. For example, this line from Flan during the loading screen.
This scene when Pecan tries to invoke her powers of the Banzaider to save Cinnamon Basil from Spicy Jalapina:
Pecan: "Banzai Brace Activate!" (An awkward silence from Flan, Spicy, and Cinnamon) Pecan: "Banzai Prism Power!" Flan: "Those don't work!" Pecan: "By the power of Grayskull!" Spicy: "..... (snicker)" Flan: "Give it up, Pecan. They won't work for you." Pecan: "Banzai Lavenda wouldn't give me a broken power-up. They have to work!" Spicy: "You're hilarious..." Hot Guy...? (Cinnamon): "For the love of God! Get out of here before she kills you!" Pecan: "Damn it! AAAAUGH! It's Banzai Time!Henshin-A-Banzai, baby! Shazam! Banzai Smash! Summon up the power of the Banzai! Armor of Banzai!"
Pecan will sometimes strike a pose after clearing a stage.
Could be a coincidence, but Pecan herself seems to share a "Hot Blooded" personality with many redheads from anime, specifically Lina Inverse, A-Ko, and even Yoko.
Special Guest: Dayasha Thirsts appears as a special guest striker. Under certain conditions, Dayasha will give assistance to Banzai Pecan by performing the Dayasha Bomb! It just got real!
Split Personality: Lemon-Lime is the obvious poster child for this trope.
To an extent, Lady Strawberry. She's obviously bonkers.
Statuesque Stunner: A few of the Sexilicous Seven like Sister Spearmint are taller than Pecan.
A Twinkle in the Sky: Reach for the Stars!, one of Banzai Pecan's Stylish Finishers does this to mooks. Also, French Vanilla's Chest Upper does this to Pecan.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Spicy Jalapina, Sister Spearmint, and Lemon-Lime of the Sexilicous Seven have green hair. Ash Bunny has violet hair. Our heroine's faithful Fangirl and a friend of Pecan, Flan Nougatt, and the Sexilicous Seven's gun-toting Bitter Almond has Multicolored Hair.
Zettai Ryouiki: Sugoi Maple, Sister Spearment, Mistress Mocha, and Lady Strawberry all wears Thigh-High Boots. Red Devillettes also wear them as well. Lemon-Lime and Pecan in her normal form plays this trope straight with thigh-highs.
