The Banzai Institute Dragons
Colors: Blue and White
The league team for the Institute, the Dragons join as an expansion team in 2012 (or later). Noted as being the best among the Blue Blazers (who have several
intramural teams, based out of their various cities or colonies), the team roster changes almost annually, with members being cycled out. It has more than the
average number of second- and third-string players, many of whom do not sit on the sidelines during play, but only show up when first-stringers are pulled out
due to Institute emergencies. Buckaroo takes players off of the Global Frequency during games, but will notify game officials and the team staff if a player is
needed.
The Dragons are not known as a particularly consistent team, due to the other commitments of the Insitute, but they always bring a certain amount of enthusiasm
and esprit de corps to their games. The team focuses on teamwork, providing for some dazzling displays of astrobatics (i.e., the vacuum equivalent of
aerobatics) and seemingly telepathic communication between players. (No psychic powers are involved, just an awareness of where teammates are or should be that
has been finely honed.)
The Dragons all tie on a rising sun hachimaki under their safety helmets before entering a game. The hachimakis are duplicates of Buckaroo's own headband,
as seen in "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension" and in the syndicated Fenspace television series.
