Banas (The Forgotten)

"I hope you're not implying you wish to kill me? That would set such a bad example."

- "Banas, on being underappreciated"

Banas is a character in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the second, third, and fourth sagas and is introduced in the chapter "Lyin' And Laughin'".

Appearance
Banas is a Sobren. He is tall and muscular. He has yellow skin and long black hair. He wears armor similar to Bardock (in protest of Cooler's standard issued armor). His clothes are simple, light colored undergarments. He wears the standard boots and gloves as well.

Personality
Banas has a leadership quality about him that sometimes makes it hard for the average soldier to tell who's really in charge of 92; him or Guva. He is also very sarcastic, if calm. His command over his soldiers is more informal than his personality might suggest; indeed Payar actually does a lot of the technical aspects of his command. While in theory, Banas could overthrow Guva quite easily (with help from his soldiers) he has chosen not to based on his strong sense of honor. This does not mean were to two alone, he would not try to fight and beat the governor. At the same time, however, Banas has always thought of Guva as a friend and would never consider killing him.

History
Banas was the captain of Planet Cooler 92 and leader of The Plantains. Banas' history with his governor, Guva was long and complicated. The two long ago were competing captains who fought in the trials for the governorship of Cooler's newest planet. After a long fought battle, through many tests and tribulations, Guva rose over Banas and took control. And in a gesture of respect, Guva took Banas as his captain of the planet. Despite this Banas, remained slightly bitter.

After the end of the Lauto Saga, Banas took Guva to Lauto's cave for one final battle. In the end, Guva persevered again and Banas was finally killed.

Trivia

 * All of Cooler's soldiers' names are based on fruits. In Banas' case, this is the "banana".
 * In the original draft of TF, I considered making Banas a girl. This was quickly discarded however as it would imply that some other, unwanted theme was in the Banas/Guva relationship.
 * Banas' theme is I Just Can't Wait To Be King.
