The Banana Fish Fandom Has Been Looking Like It's Dying Recently, So Let's Share Headcannons!

the banana fish fandom has been looking like it's dying recently, so let's share headcannons!

Eiji is a huge star wars fan, Shorter on the other hand is a huge star trek fan. Instead of fighting about this, they instead nerd out together and have binged the entirety of Star Trek the original series and the original Star wars movies ( jokes on them Ash is a fuckin nerd who loves both)

Shorter is a really big fan of music, pretty much any kind. Ash likes any kind of music that has a lot of music, so imagine him listening to alot of Midwest emo ( he loves la dispute) and also classical. Eiji listens to pretty much anything on the radio, but he has a soft spot for classic rock and metal like Ozzy Osborne.

Yut Lung has about 5 Instagram accounts, and he uses each of these just to bully others that he finds himself jealous of.

sing is a beyblade kid. Shorter also loves beyblades and he plays with sing.

Shorter introduced Eiji to South park. He has never been the same.

If we're looking at a banana fish AU in 2025, that would mean the boys are all Gen z ( which is absolutely crazy to think about) Eiji was definitely a unrestricted Internet access kid which is probably why he can deal with so much shit. Someone getting killed? That's nothing. Smile HD? Now that's terrifying.

Shorter probably has eaten a tidepod or something like that.

Ash collects classic vinyl, which is one of his escapes. He has all kinds, pop, jazz, rock, even some new stuff, but it really helps him calm down.

Shorter plays drums and Ash plays guitar. They were once in a two piece punk band which ended with a shootout between them and a rival gang.

shorter is actually really smart, but he dropped out of school because he was struggling with his ADHD and wanted to help his sister.

Ash would often claim Nadia as his own sister because she was so awesome.

Ash doesn't really get Japanese, so he started watching subtitled anime to try to understand the language better.

In Cape cod, the boys shot their own movie. Ash didn't want to be in front of the camera so he helped Eiji with the cinematography. It was a very poorly produced 15 minute film about Shorter, an aspiring actor, and it strangely turns into a zombie gore flick.

Ash and Eiji have some of the worst pet names and it's mostly a joke. Sometimes Eiji will call Ash some Japanese word with an absolutely crazy meaning, and Ash will think it's sweet but it definitely isn't.

Ash is definitely little spoon and he will fight for the death to keep this.

Despite his love for mustard, Ash absolutely cannot take spicy food, but he eats it cause he likes it.

Ash is a dog person and Eiji is a cat person.

I have more but I want to see you guys first!
