Warning: The following contains minor spoilers for Dandadan manga points that are not yet in the anime. Dandadan is now streaming on Crunchyroll.

For some strange reason, so far, all the guests have been shown there Dandadan In episode 6 “Dangerous Woman Comes” has one goal: to get “Banana Face” from humans. You might think it could mean something else and it's just an obvious statement, but no, aliens literally want genitals, even kidnapping to get them. Infuriating, scary and strange, but these aliens really went hundreds or even thousands, all for some baby creators.

Aliens in fictional media and pop culture are shown to be far more advanced than humans. Often, when they come to visit Earth in search of something, it's either a resource, a new place to live, or a lost person or thing on Earth. If they are more advanced than humans, why do they want less developed/developed organs?

What do the aliens of Dandadan want from human bananas?

Serbians need banana organs to give birth

The Serpoians, also known as Serpo Aliens, were the first alien species introduced there Dandadanappears in episode 1, “That's the Beginning of Love, You Know!” where they kidnap the main character, a high school gyaru named Momo Ayase, to steal the “Taga Banana”. Well, it's as cruel as you can imagine, but luckily, Momo escapes using her new powers and her classmate, Ken Takakura.

Why did Serpoians go around stealing banana parts in the first place? Aside from the obvious answer that the series creator, Yukinobu Tatsu, thought was funny, the reason they ran for the fancy bits was because they needed it for better production. The Serpoian species is only male and cannot reproduce naturally. They can reproduce through cloning technology, but this method does not seem to allow biological evolution to occur. Obtaining female reproductive organs allows them to reproduce sexually and improve their species in the long term.

Only our species has males. Therefore, we produce using clone technology… However, the same elements do not promote biological development.

Now, this answer raises more questions, such as “How did the Serpoians reproduce before they invented cloning technology?”. It may sound like overthinking now, but for anyone who wants a real answer, the female of her species probably just died, and they were lucky enough to be close to the development of cloning technology at the time. .

The Flatwoods Monster wants banana organs because he works for the Serpoians

Serpoians wanted banana organs for reproduction, but what about the Flatwoods monster? Dandadanepisode 2, “It's aliens in space, isn't it?!”? Does it also have the same type of sex problem that the Serpoians had? In this episode, Momo unknowingly allowed a threat to enter her home and family compound by removing the amulet from the torii gate at the entrance. He did this to protect Okarun (Ken Takakura's new nickname) because the talisman can detect the evil spirit inside and burn it when it enters. But after the spell was gone, the sanctuary became vulnerable to attack, which the Flatwoods Monster quickly took advantage of. To Momo and Okarun's surprise, this new guest also wanted the banana organ.

Unlike the Serpoians, the Flatwoods Monster did not need a banana organ for reproduction. Instead, the reason he was there was because of the orders of the Serpoians to hunt down Momo and Okarun and steal their organs. The Flatwoods Monster calls out the villainous duo for breaking their promise, which must be the narrative the Serpoian gave them. However, it was never made clear what the exact relationship between these two types of aliens was, whether the Flatwoods Monster was hired by the Serpoians, was a slave to them, or had a vested interest in them.

Why do foreigners call them banana organs?

Even if the organs he needs come from intercourse with women

Well, so the Serpoians are looking for female reproductive organs to reproduce more efficiently, and they've used the Flatwoods Monster to help them steal them. However, that doesn't explain why they call them “Banana Faces” if they only look at the female reproductive organs.

Because Serpoians are exclusively male, they have only one type of large genitalia; and if they are called “bananas,” it is probable that the reproductive organs of all other creatures are the same. They may simply not understand the concept of gender differences. Another possibility is that Serpoians may simply not recognize the face of the human woman you know. They may just think that all genitals are like bananas, because they only have the base.

Don't Worry, Dandadan's Other Guests Are Not Banana Hungry

Good news for Momo, Okarun, and all humanity

Other types of aliens besides Serpoians and Flatwoods Monster will appear there Dandadanand fortunately, not all of them are sexually starved. Some will seek power, knowledge, and other non-sexual things. Some of the aliens may come with no bad intentions, so be careful with alien-human friendships in the future. Dandadan.

However, aliens aren't the only ones who tend to take home jewelry, because sometimes, the occasional Yokai, like Turbo Granny, will steal them just for fun. And for those anime fans who thought the Serpoians were a one-off for the pilot episode, you're wrong. The Serpoians will return with a vengeance, so you better hide the Banana.
