Abbi's Reel:

In the Skit Reel by Abbi, 25yo Bunnix comes back to the future after beating Timetagger and she scolds 25yo Chat Noir for cataclysming her miraculous and leaving her stuck in stone for thousands of years...

So, as revenge, she sends him back in time dressed as Mr.Banana with the challenge of being only able to say "Stay Peachy" (to avoid being recognized). All this with the purpose of punishing him by making him relive the entire love square (in the reel they already revealed by the time, so he'd be screaming like the audience when his 15yo Blind-self keeps saying "she's just a friend" lol)

And then, when the love square drama will be solved, she will take him back to the future, to a few minutes after she sent him back to the past so he doesn't miss out on his 25yo present... Real torture, but no present consequences cuz he only missed a few minutes of it, so there's no danger with Akumas in that time frame.

Possible Reasons:

These reasonings (reliving the lovesquare) are part of the joke, I don't actually think that's a valid option in canon, but still pretty hilarious so I wanted to tell it anyway! Another reason I wanted to tell it is because I belive it's possible that Bunnix actually sent Future ChatNoir to the past as a revenge for destroying her miraculous & having her stuck in stone for centuries, she was PISSED in that episode, rightfully so! LOL

If not, I don't know why would he be sent back, maybe to assist his younger-self during the hard times of his first year(s) of getting the Miraculous? It wasn't an easy time for him, he lost both his parents in the span of 2 years, one was the supervillain that made everyone suffer the whole time and the same guy who abused and litterally controlled him at home, + he still didn't know he's a sentibeing. It was the first year he was allowed outside and he'd be facing many challenges, heartbreaks, revelations and battles.

Future Adrien could be acting like some sort of Guardian Angel for himself.. a Guardian Banana... Maybe Bunnix sends him back in specific events of his life where external assistence is needed... Like when he lost his powers in Kwamibuster and when his Miraculous was taken from him in Feast👀

About the proof it's Adrien and not just some guy in a costume...Here's the Screenshots of Evidence:

In "Anansi" (s2), Mr. Banana makes his first appearence as he's trying to hand posters of Adrien, the Fragrance parfume AD with the feathers on it (one of the first foreshadowings of the senti plotline, as it has the white feathers around him).

Then in the episode "Lies" (s4) he seems annoyed as he sits in silence, listening to Chat asking Mr Ramier if he feels like he wants to be akumatized that day. He's also reading the newspaper with Ladybug on the front cover (the newspaper changes pictures in different shots tho lol..).

It's possible he's not speaking because his voice might be recognized since they're so close to eachother. Maybe he's there in the episode because he knows he was hurting that day, as Ladybug never showed up to patrol and he'd be soon breaking up with Kagami (some days later).

He's also sitting on the bench with his legs crossed, just like Chat Noir next to him... Chat sits with crossed legs that same pose when he's interviewed by Nadja in "Prime Queen" (s2)

He votes "No" at the TV contest in "Kwamibuster"(s3) for Vincent's theory (he knows Vincent sucks, so maybe he wanted to sabotage him), he especially presses "NO" when it's Mrs. Mendeleiev's (however u spell it) Theory's turn to vote, as she exposes Plagg on live TV, with that drawing she made (as the Kwamis don't appear on camera).

He was probably voting to protect his buddy: if he's from the future he knew this TV show would happen so he applied to be a judge and sabotaged the results.

Also in "Passion" (s5) they associate Adrien with Bananas when Gabriel asks him if he wants them on his pancakes, he says yes with a sad face and then Nathalie scolds Gabriel for forcing him to eat the banana-pancakes.

The bananas in this scene are actually a metaphor for the fancy-model life Gabriel forced Adrien into (while Adrien really doesn't want any of it, instead he likes his pancakes and and his life simple).

I don't think it really has to do with the Mr. Banana theory.... but they could've chosen any other topping for the metaphor too, couldn't they? Mr.Banana is always on TV, his costume is very simple, but he's a celebrity and his identity is a mystery...👁👁

That Banana costume is always conveniently on hand when something happens to his Miraculous. Adrien always finds it near him and wears that costume every time. It fits Adrien's size perfectly.

Some people claim Mr.Banana had the same VA as Adrien in some episodes... didn't verify if this one is true or not, but the Wiki says Bryce voiced Mr.Banana in 'Kwamibuster' and 'Feast' even in the scenes where Adrien wasn't in the costume yet (?), which are also the two episodes where Adrien loses his powers and conveniently finds the costume near him.

If in the other episodes it isn't the same VA, it's possible that some dude does actually dress up as Mr.Banana for a job, but there were a couple occasions where the mysterious person under the mask wasn't that dude, but our future Adrikins!

If in "Wishmaker" (s4) Mr.Banana was Adrien and not that other mysterious dude, the fact his childhood dream is being a cucumber could be explained that they fought Wishmaker other times in the future and he knows how to mess up his power, maybe imagining what his "Mr.Banana" identity's dream could be instead of his own and he chose cucumbers because of the meme cats are scared of them and it's a funny pun to him?

This is the same guy who sacrifices himself for shits n giggles or to impress his Lady (Ik he also probably does it cuz he's depressed, someone give him a hug pls), I wouldn't put it past him to get hit on purpose so he can make a cat pun in collab with his younger-cat-self lmao

And it's also a good way to avoid being turned back into Adrien and accidentally reveal his identity, I can imagine him and Ladybug in the future beating Wishmaker by cosplaying so they don't become "the Knitting Fairy" and "What my parents wanted me to be" again.

When in "Lies" Kagami tells Adrien to act natural, he strikes her with Chat Noir's pose, but if you think about it, Mr.Banana "Stay Peachy" pose looks very similar to Chat's Transformtion pose: right hand up, left hand down, straight right leg pointing sideways and left slid leg pointing forwards!

Also wouldn't it be extra hilarious if it turns out he was making fun of his own cucumberous dream in this scene?

"Wishmaker" and NEW indisputable evidence that Miraculous is aware of the cucumber-cat meme (new episode of Miraculous Chibi "Careless Whispurr")

Look in "Party Crasher" (s3) when he joins the party for the full pose -in the collage below-. Also he's pretty athletic because there's a shot where he's doing acrobatics on the roof hanging from a rope. [Scroll up to the first picture]

Btw, I think Mr.Banana in 'Party Crasher' is Adrien cuz why wouldn't he want to relive his first party (the Bubbler's doesn't count) with his friends (& Marinette) and random people of Paris while is dad is stuck in the basement elevator?

I also noticed... he looks like he's taller than 15yo Adrien in "Lies": Mr. Banana's shoulders are higher than Chat's and around the height of Mr.Ramier's shoulders.. But if you look at the closeup shot, he even has the same design of short sleeves as Adrien!!

AND PLEASE Look at the flashback montage in "Anansi" (s2) where he distributed the fliers: the color of his pants and shoes, under the yellow paint! He has blueish jeans and orange shoes!!! They didn't have to take off the paint from his legs, why would they alter the model to reveal the true colors of the pants if they didn't wanna give us hints and foreshadowings?

RAaahHhh, the shot of his yellow leg paint fading to reveal the colors of his chlotes + the short sleeves and taller height, for me, was the ultimate proof and it has convinced me the joke reel isn't THAT much of a joke anymore, that can't be a coincidence or unintentional...!!😳

I don't expect anybody to take this Theory seriously, but you can't ignore this last one from Anansi!!!!!😭

I hope you had fun reading, lemme know what you think about this or if you made other observations!❤️

Also let me know if you're interested in the "Lila/Cerise is Manon from the Future" Theory next, that's a theory I'm actually serious about, I've gathered a bunch of more valid evidence for that one‼️

All hail Mr.Banana Bananoir Agreste!🍌

Stay Peachy!💅
