I feel like Matpat can find lore in my grocery shopping list at this point
“Here, it’s shown that this person likes Red Bull… which hints to their evilness as they think they’ll actually get wings and take over the world!” -matpat, 2024
Oh 100%. "Well from this list we can see they love red meat. That along with the ham and charcuterie board tells us they probably worry about cholesterol."
But wait, they also bought milk, which means they are planning to torture a lactose intolerant person!
“It also says they bought cheese, so that tells us they’re gonna use rat souls to make real life animatronics. I can tell they use rat traps at their house because of the look on their face!”
I see they're buying pizza... which must mean theyre starting their own freddy fazbear's pizzeria!

How can it contain THAT many triangles when it's so SMALL!?!?!
@@I-Am-Creative-Coopssmol triangles
Where did you come upon that information?
So that’s why the optimization is so bad
MatPat explaining about how A BanBan chapter releases every two months, almost makes a twist of revealing BanBan 5 released the second this video was posted.
I think it would be cool if you play as one of the kids or parents and you canonically meet your end in this chapter if it is a prequel. It could really amp up the horror knowing that you can actually die and are not protected by plot-armor
I'm just too ironically into Banban to leave it behind.

@@themememaster6775FnAF did, the Burntrap ending was supposed to be the actual ending but they changed it when MatPat predicted it
I don't know why but the idea of everyone going to hide in the ball pit and the entire thing just collapsing into an abyss is actually terrifying to me. And then being greeted by Zolphius on the way down and Flynn catching everyone and most of the adults are killed? It really does seem like the kind if thing that would be in a literal nightmare, it diesnt make a lot of sense but theres just a sense of foreboding and fear that comes from it.
As well as the whiteboard in the classroom, BanBan also says 'What's yours is mine' instead of 'your pancreas is mine'.
God, the mutant kid has an actually terrifying design. There’s just something so disturbing about it.
Ikrrr it's creepy
It looks like someone ripped the eyes out of drowned baby
What makes it creepy is he’s locked away in the basement kept as a secret
@@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787how do you know what that looks like?🤨💥📸
I think bc he looks closer to a human. Kind of like a face without a skull/muscle?
Tbh, I think we might be playing as Opila because she was the only mascot present on the upper floor and she has rage problems. Not only that, she has red eyes.
Big brain
It makes sense when you think about it. We never met BanBan until we went down into the lower levels. Plus, Opila was on the whiteboard of "Make A Friend Day"
and its no small detail, in my mind, that she's the one drawn on the board for meet-a-friend-day. I totally think you're right.
I think it's more so that she was the only one left present in the first chapter. Not to mention the marks on the wall of the ball pit room that suggest she had climbed the wall. Perhaps literally everyone, mascots included, fell in the pit, but Opila caught the wall during the fall. Probably not too far down, so she was able to get back up, leaving her the only one present on that floor. But then the main character come along and get Opila to fall after all, same as everyone else.
Wait but she was trapped by sherif toadster
12:22 Why was I thinking about a specific white powder there? ''TODAY'S SPONSER IS THE LEADING MANUFACTURER OF COCAI-''
Hey, MatPat, I have another theory to do with chapter 5: In the end of chapter 4, Stinger Fling is brought to the lift as Sherrif Toadster thinks he is "useful". I have a feeling that Stinger Fling is putting us in one of his flashbacks, and telling the story of how everything game crashing down. BUT HEY - THAT'S JUST A THEORY.
Matpat "calmly" recaping the story in the beginning of the video is just-- 💀 this man is more addicted to bad indie game lore than diet coke at this point😅
ikr
Both can cause brain damage.
Absolutely
Not gonna lie, this new monster actually looks pretty creepy. Way to go, developers!

@furrykatten I don't hate the game actually. But I think you're young if you think any of these monsters are scary in the least.
The new monster from characte 5 is literally godzila nes 3d model creepypasta but blue 💀
@@falloutboy1379why does this sound ironic
I shamelessly laugh at each and every one of MattPats jokes
Man do you guys remember another game series whose releases used to be within months of each other and had really confusing lore that made Matpat go insane?
As someone against Banban, I hated when 6 was being teased in 4, but after this theory, I think its a kinda smart move. A mystetious 5th chapter devolving from the current story. The story continues in 6, but goes back for 5. The brothers win this round. 1 to... well Im not really sure.
Garten of Banban 5 is prequel of the other chapters
Yeah its a smart tactic though a cheep one. What’s more creepypasta than a “missing entry” in a horror series.
@@finchhawthorne1302lol
Harsh critical.
How much you bet the brothers just saw that video and said to themselves “Yeah we weren’t going for that but Mats idea sounds much better so just pretend we were going for that and he predicted it.”
Well…BanBan is certainly a game to exist
Definally a game
Certainly a game
Nah it’s a experience a really bad drive you insane experience
A bad game to exist
Its one of the games of all time
I think, on a personal view, that zolphius and the mutant kid has probably known each other as human, OR the kids that fell into the ball pit fell into some givanium storage facility and mutated into the mutant kid. It would explain the sad, screaming and scared face as it’s the kids’s fear of never going to see their dear parents ever again
2:16 CHOO CHOO CHARLES, YEAH BABY BURRRNNNNNN
At 9:01 I noticed that in addition to the whiteboard being different, Ban Ban on the wall says "Sharing is caring! What's yours is mine!" but in the original he said "Sharing is caring! Your pancreas is mine!"
the original chapter 1 steam page image is the same too, the chapter 5 images are all just the chapter 1 teaser images with a red filter, except for the one with the monster
Might’ve been before the whole incident
I think Matpat is trying to play 4-d chess while his opponent is just having a simple game of checkers
I think Matpat and the Euphoric Brothers are playing 5D chess.
Hearing the little jingle at the top of the episode brought a tear to my eye tbh I hope this means that is making a little bit of a comeback even if it isn’t the full song, I’m so nostalgic for it
As sheriff toadster once said "I managed to get the elevator to work but only partially. But right now we need to escape this entire floor to anywhere else. So it can't go down 1 floor it has to go down 2 floors

I'm pretty sure Zolphius does make a sound when the subtitles "I am sorry" appear. Its just that he says them in spanish, "Lo siento".
Mhm, exactly
It’s so funny how this game went from one of the most hated games to a really beloved one
I'm still sad he's leaving 😞😭
Fun fact: scent pods don't work if you think about the fact that your drinking water beforehand, I learned this because of one of my moms friends sending us candy in a big container that used to hold peppermints, and so the scent would stick to the candy and make it taste weird but I found out how to make it taste normal again by telling myself in my head what I had in my mouth.

Mat Pat really sold his soul to the mascot horror industry.
He did that long ago
He sold his soul to the devil, I saw him doing an ad for rise of kingdoms, ironically im pretty sure it was his downfall

"Four games in eight months." Malrat with his old FNATI games:
Nah bro Banban 5 is just the forgotten middle child.💀💀💀
No, It can't be the middle child, Because then there would only be 11 games, Garten Of BanBan will go on for 999+ games by 2025
Earlier in the game Banban did tell us he was planning on giving that one imposter monster to his "friend", maybe this new monster is that friend. Maybe he was only one who could befriend it, he did say he didn't get along with the other scientists. It's probably why he able to connect, one outcast to another.
Or it might’ve just been Zolphius, who knows?
@@aceash5.065 I'm pretty sure it's Zolphius - Banban's kid (well.. technically created by dr Uthman and dr Mason who were in close relationship and Banban believes himself to be dr Uthman...)
i honestly love the team behind this series. they’re fully giving into the INSANITY that is this type of “haunted children’s place” game
The whole "not quite finished" feel makes Garten of Banban feel unique imo
I adore Banban, this game series is very fun, it's like reading homestuck, it's ????? In the beginning but gets even more ?????? In an endearing way as it keeps going. Amazing.
Ban ban 4 is boring asf
Garten of BanBan is the only mascot horror game that can skip a number of a chapter and can get away with it to make the lore more interesting. And this is possibly the most BanBan thing to happen.
I like how Matt thinks that The difference in the whiteboard is significant when it was actually what was originally supposed to be in the game before they changed it during development. What is on the whiteboard in the Chapter 5 screenshot is also on the whiteboard in the Chapter 1 teaser image and trailer. Also, how can we be playing as Banban in Chapter 5 when we can be seen in the screenshots that we, the player, are holding the remote for the drone?
I haven't even watched the video yet, but my headcannon currently is that the next entry in the Garten of Banban saga is just going to be so POSITVELY EPIC that Banban Five wasn't a powerful enough title, so they chose to instantly skip straight to Six
Garten of Banban is like a Fever dream trying to be a nightmare
Plot twist: they actually made the entire game in advance and are just releasing it “gradually”
💀💀💀
Garten of BanBan is truly peak fiction
3:58 the storyline sucks. It was originally a game where you are a parent searching for evidence what happened for your kid or something like that and now its just weird chaos and dump characters, which don’t have any element of horror
MatPats sanity keeps depleting with every new theory
If the entire game isn’t about a kindergarteners recess game, I don’t want it. Because it does explain Charles(kids grab whatever toys they have) how the big Dino thing walked(a kid holding it in his hand) and why the random creatures are fighting or the kangaroo suddenly unleashes such power. This HAS to be a kids game
That would be so cool ngl
That’s a really cool theory!! It makes a lot of sense and sounds fun!
Actually, Zolphius did say "I'm sorry". But he said it in spanish. If you listen closely, you can hear it. Don't have any idea what does that implies but perhaps something to do with a hispanic child used as an experiment?
Yeah, the kid is bilingual. They wanted such a kid - dr Uthman and dr Mason, I mean because they couldn't have a child on their own.. so they created one for themselves
Its actually simple. Sheriff Toadster said "We need to get out of this floor to anywhere else! " so my prediction is that every game is one floor. So floor 1,2,3,4 jumping off of floor 5, to 6. Sheriff Toadster only putted 2 gears in. We still have the 3rd one. So it probably jumped a floor.
The Euphoric brothers keep showing slight glimpses of competence, like Zolphius, and the blue guy in chapter 5, those are both some genuinely unsettling designs. Not to mention the puzzle with the qr codes tied to the buttons.
Sometimes I forget he's a dad with a wife and life. He must be an amazing dad
MATPAT IS A DAD???
@iaiart he's been for years. Are you a new fan :) it's ok if or if you're not ill catch you up. He has a son named Oliver c: (I don't know his age)
@@luckyemo8269Oliver is roughly 3-4 years old I think
Here's a theory! Syringeon, the Mascot teased in the secret room in 4 is the reason why the Mascots seem to survive every encounter that leads to them being injured. Opila's fall in the ball pit, Nabnab getting attacked by Nabnaleena, Kamataki and Chamataki's explosion injuries and the fall it takes after it's boss battle, and any injuries that took place at the ending of 3. Why else would they have a Mascot with actual surgical tools? It's made to keep the other Mascots alive, and maybe even make new ones so there's no risk of something like the jumpscare after you fail Nabnaleena's minigame to the doctors.
Nabnab wasn't attacked by Nabnaleena its Jumbo Josh since Nabnab was literally in the same room as Banbaleena and the protagonist were in
@@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne I think it was Stinger Flynn actually. He's the one who's there after the attack and the one who gives you to Josh.
@@wakkaseta8351 Nah why would Stinger give nabnab ?
@@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne To calm him down and get him under control like he said he was trying to do in Chapter 4.

That Canada joke is one of your best, MatPat
These theories is great!
I love when MatPat socles the games mystery before it even releases.
I still love how lore in games will always have a twist that will change everything when something new is revealed and somehow even BanBan has the curse as well.
9:46 holey moley the changes on the whiteboard for some reason truly expand a lotta theory
2:04 That was unexpected
With that demonic Train showing up, I half expect a golden Bunny or Bear to do so down the line too
The fact that this series gets multiple theories makes me sad. The fact that it has deeper lore so far than so many other games you’ve talked about… I don’t know.
theory: matpat is the owner of the banban kindergarten and slowly went insane that he started creating theories which made him go even more insane now he's making theories about his own company
watching this with no prior context feels like a bad trip
Another difference is banban’s catchprase In Chapter 5 says something different. “Sharing Is Caring What’s Yours Is Mine!” Instead of “Sharing Is Caring Your Pancreas Is Mine”
Yeah, I thought it was different! I knew I wasn't going crazy!
It was that way in Chapter 1. Just look at his phrase after defeating Opila.
Game devs: oh, we advertised banban 6 on accident. MatPat: LOOOOOOOOORE!!!!
Would it be possible to get a game theory video with the original intro and music? Possibly for the anniversary of the channel?
9:57 I feel like Garten of banban 5 is going to be a prequel of what happened to Zolphius and how he got to his big giant form
Scott fears these brothers 💀
There's something else I saw. In the picture, where in chapter 1 it said "Sharing is caring, your pancreas is mine!". It said "Sharing is Caring, what's yours is mine!" Something had to have changed there!
The indie game might be bad, but I love the lore.
Typical game: “gets played.” Garten of Banban: “PLAYS YOU.” 😮
Going to offer a slight alter theory. Chapter V isn't a prequel, but a B story. The images aren't on Meet-A-Friend Day, but in a separate basement area we haven't seen yet. A duplicate of the kindergarten where this green child was living and being taught to live with others. The difference in whiteboards due to someone changing it in the real kindergarten but nobody was left to change the "copy" in the basement. Yes, they intended to bring the green child up for Meet-A-Friend Day, but it triggered Banban before hand. Banban went nuts during Meet-A-Friend Day because he was triggered by the similarity to what he had seen in the duplicate room with green child and remembered the trauma green child caused.

True
Where it says to wishlist chapter 6 it says: "wishlist the SEQUEL here" when I noticed that it made everything click
So, what's the connection between Zolphius and Banban. I seems like banban brings him afriend, which does line up with him being a child, but what Banban knows and why? Also, why is Zolphius sorry. I'm so invested in banban lore, guys
Zolphius was created by dr Uthman and dr Mason as their kid, I assume, because they couldn't have a child on their own... And Banban believes himself to be dr Uthman. That's why he knows and he thinks that Zolphius is his own kid...
to be honest garten of ban ban is actually pretty charming
Nice one
Like its not trying to be seriouse and instead is making fun of mascot horror
Honestly agreed. It’s grown on me from how batshit insane it is and I hardly care about its flaws anymore 💀😭
it's so bad that it's charming tbh
So if you want your playthrough to make sense, you need to wait until chapter 5 is out and play that first
1:54 this is normal
Also , in chapter 1 , Banban says "Sharing is Caring, Your Pancreas is mine!" And in chapter 5 Banban says "Sharing is Caring , Whats Yours is mine!"
Garten of banban has honestly become one of my favorite games to watch on this channel
Whenever there is a mysterious character in any game, Matpat sees one of three things - a dead child - a murderer/sociopath - your father
The description of how the child acts kinda reminds me of myself when I was young. - I am Autistic. It was often said I crawled over other children rather than around. - I never really played alongside others, but ‘with’ others.
Zolphius was the first, he had seen everything

You haven’t seen anything from the video yet though
Theories*
Yes
9:33 best child narration
I need to correct something in this video (or make sure I'm not crazy and the only one who heard it lol). When Zolphius says I'm sorry, he says it in Spanish in the audio, even though the subtitles are in English. He says "Lo Siento," Spanish for I'm sorry. Am I the only one who hears this in the game? Or maybe was it a patch that was added it after MatPat played? Just curious if anyone else caught this.
Garten of banban 5 has a quote/description that i think supports MatPats theory of playing AS BanBan. The part in specific "Explore the mysterious establishment and don't lose your life and sanity." So banban could have lost its sanity and went mad with rage.
Garten of banban will always hold a special place in my heart
Yep
A place for hate
Crazy but beautiful (Somehow)
@@phiiiz357yep

Sooooo.... In banban 1 after you defeat opila bird, if you go back to the cafetirea a music tape player has apaered and it says "For you". Now who could've placed that? This means that opila and us weren't the only on the first floor. In banban 3 there is a tape showing a Kid and the main captain fiddles. Maybe he has placed it. If so where was when we weren't at ball pit. He hided sure, where? And why he has been hiding from us. Just mysteries.
8:17 I believe Zolphius does speak, it's just difficult to hear. When I watched you play through the game I remember hearing him saying "lo siento", which is "I'm sorry" in spanish. He just whispers it and it's quite difficult to catch, but for some reason I've never heard anyone talking about it.
8:02 “What are they selling!?” 😂
Franchise: exists Matpat: LOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I have a fnaf theory which could help connect burntrap and mimic. It's the fact that before princess quest ending Afton was indeed alive and well and was controlling mimic AI with the glitchtrap virus. But when Afton was oofed from the digital remains of him then the mimic was back to well the mimic. I believe this theory is correct considering the endos look suuuuuupppperrrrrr similar and the fact that you can see muscles? I think near the thigh area. So I believe that the other program (forgot name) which was meant to stop the mimic was stopped by the glitchtrap virus. Because Afton had the mimic as his endo skeleton I believe it might have hunted him. So he did what he did. I believe the mimic took off the horrific remains of the man himself and well returned. Hope it helps in future theories Matpat!
