Banzai Blasters

The Banzai Blasters are an infamous criminal organization in Sweet Jazz City that runs on a pyramid scheme. It primarily appeals to teenage delinquents and disenfranchised divorcees.Prison of Plastic, Prologue B: The Banzai Blasters
==History==
===Past===
Sometime after the organization's founding, low-ranking Banzai Blasters and Captains became notorious for small and petty crime. Eventually, the Sweet Jazz Police began to ignore them, viewing any time to deal with the ruffians as not worth it.
One day, a group of Banzai Blasters found a family who had dug up a golden box. They stole the box and than shot the parents, leaving their daughter unharmed but orphaned.Great at Cowboy Extended
Bugsy Pugsler and Arnold Markdown joined the Banzai Blasters. Both managed to be promoted to Banzai Vice Principals.
Dark Star, Car Crash, Crusher, Ben, Flamethrower, and Spike joined the Banzai Blasters and became apart of a leaderless Banzai team.
Giovanni Potage joined the Banzai Blasters and was assigned to the leaderless team with the aforementioned six blasters. He was initially mocked by his teammates for bringing creampuffs to their first meeting. However, Giovanni unofficially led several of their missions, including replacing a gas station's hot dogs with cattails and stealing miscellaneous items to present at team-based show-and-tells. The rest of the team warmed up to him, causing Dark Star to unintentionally give him the nickname "Boss" from the team following his ideas. The name stuck within the group. Giovanni was eventually promoted to Banzai Captain.Epithet Erased | EP1 - Quiet in the Museum!

==Ranks==
===Banzai Blaster===
Banzai “Blaster” is the lowest rank that someone can be in the organization. At first, a blaster is a generic grunt in the generic Banzai Blaster uniform (As seen by Ben). Once a blaster has done something cool enough to make them stand out, they get a nickname and they are allowed to customize their costume a little bit (as seen by Car Crash).Epithet Erased on Tumblr in reply to aikeji - November 29, 2023Baszai Blasters Trivia 1 Anyone who wants to become a blaster has to pay $49.99 a month (plus tax).Epithet Erased | EP2 - Bear Trap However, they would only start caring enough to come after you if you stopped paying at higher levels.Ask:what happens when a banzai blaster doesn’t have... - JelloApocalypse - December 25, 2019
===Banzai Captain===
Banzai Captains, like Giovanni Potage, 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===
Being a Banzai Vice-Principal gives you multiple benefits such as even more customization options and silly cartoon gloves (as seen by 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.Bugsy Trivia 1
