King Jingaling is a "traitor" because he gives you a Jiggy. Anyone helping BK would obviously be seen as a traitor by Gruntilda, as she and her sisters have laid claim to the island.

[@RPLAsmodeus]

Mumbo Jumbo... can manipulate time and literally resurrect anyone from the dead. Makes no attempt to resurrect Bottles or save the Grey Jinjo's

[@MilkyFren]

And this is why I want a game where you play as one of the Jinjos, the story is really good and can be made with a happier ending like most games do and could even be put into the lore of the Jinjos as a species and banjo kazooie games

[@abloogywoogywoo]

Hard to say, Grunty, Mumbo, and the Jinjos all have history.

[@epic_toon]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH 😭 the jinjos have some pretty insane lore, espically with gruntys lair being an old "jinjo place of worship".... awesome video dude ! 🤟⭐️

[@KotBox]

Thank you so much! This was probably my favorite video to put together, trying to comb through and find connections and conspiracies lol

[@SonicJrandSarah]

You know, it is possible that the Jinjo Oracle and the Jinjonator could be one and the same.

[@AlonzoTompkins]

Well, at least that one purple jinjo got to learn how to fly a plane in banjo pilot.

[@1077mikev]

Jinjo lives matter!

[@highfisch.]

Those would be some good story points for Banjo Threeie

[@siggymilfordjigutzpilgrid]

I searched for Jinjo and got this. Pretty sweet.

[@Ellie-bm7vr]

this is such a great video, i love the banjo kazooie series :))

[@marioguy6486]

This video deserves so much more attention thanks 🙏

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

I've never noticed the traitor line that's really crazy how big of a thing that is

[@KotBox]

It was what initially started the concept of this video! I was replaying the game and noticed that line. And from there it all started coming together lol

[@raydaypinball]

this deserves wayyyy more than 365 views

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

Was recommended your channel and man it didn't disappoint! That was a hilarious video - no idea why I'd never though harder about what the Jingos even were!

[@KotBox]

Very glad to hear you like it! I try to put a lot of work into my stuff! And I'm in the same boat as you. I never gave the Jinjo much thought but as I started digging, it just got stranger

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

@@KotBox well man honestly keep it up, loving your stuff!

[@FloRiLLAZ]

@@KotBox Sorry that my comment isn't about the Video itself but, do you want to know what your channel-name means in the german language?

[@KotBox]

@@FloRiLLAZ Haha I'm actually totally aware of what "Kot" means in German! But it's my last name so that's just how life is I guess!!

[@FloRiLLAZ]

@@KotBox Yeah luckily enough, it isn't a big problem. 😊👍

[@emily91303]

This is absolutely breathtaking.

[@JinjoJinjoJinjo]

Wow! I knew bits and pieces of this, but it's nice to know a lot about Jinjo lore!

[@KotBox]

It's fun! Banjo had a decent amount of lore that tends to go ignored, so I love digging into it

[@JinjoJinjoJinjo]

@@KotBox one thing that I did notice about the video is that it hadn't mentioned anything about the Jinjo's rilvalry to the Minjos, those little guys make me ask so many questions

[@KotBox]

Yeah, I wish I had caught that when I was scripting it! But if there's enough to cover with that I might do another video on the subject

[@JinjoJinjoJinjo]

@@KotBox I don't think you're missing much on them anyway, I haven't gotten to the minjos in nuts and bolts yet but there's probably not much there either. Here's hoping that there's more on them in the next banjo game! If there ever is!

[@JasmineRobotnik]

this blew my mind

[@teacup7577]

Glad to see you back! :D The thin foil cap killed me!

[@KotBox]

Glad to be back! We had too much fun with the tin foil bit 😅

[@balls_balls6050]

This deserves so much love, please continue doing these theories

[@KotBox]

Very much appreciated! I loved making this episode so there will definitely be more like it in the future!

[@balls_balls6050]

@@KotBox I’ve always loved in-depth videos on my favorite games like B-K so I can’t wait to see more of these

[@Huey4991]

Loved it!! Especially since I'm a big Banjo fan!! 😍😍😍

[@jakeborduin4578]

Holy fuck, this man is a time traveler. It's just you from high school but you drew a mustache on your face. You cannot convince me otherwise.

[@michaelbowen3351]

Lol, the tinfoil baseball cap. I've loved this game since I was a kid but never read all the lore within the game. This video just pointed out the "traitor" line by grunty and the hints. No other video about Tooie mentioned this about the lore. 👍

[@KotBox]

That's what I really wanted to dig into! As a whole people tend to ignore lore in the BK series, when there's some truly wild stuff going on

[@toddwaters3187]

Brilliant work! I loved it! You deserve so many views and subs!

[@KotBox]

Thank you so much! Very glad you loved it 🙏

[@CatPeachYT]

Holy shit, this is some pretty great evidence

[@peaknostalgia]

Damn. This was some good content. thanks for making!

[@KotBox]

Thanks for watching!!

[@MrRazia5271]

Ok, ok, Jinjos solved, bit now the relation ship of wumba and mumbo

[@KotBox]

Give me a few sleepless nights and maybe I can figure that out lol Would love to try and cover those two in general sometime

[@MrRazia5271]

Hehe and there Is Stil the story of mumbo and most i important the story of our famous protagonist. By the way i liked the fact that a so small details Could generate so much lore. Matpat have to assume you!

[@jlnj0]

Respect

[@Herculesbiggercousin]

Great video sir! Sorry I’m 2 years late!

[@lightningzero8501]

The Vaati of Nintendo

[@TheXaviZone]

Minjo time (?)

[@KotBox]

I kick myself for not putting the Minjo in this video! I totally spaced on them until the project was already finished lol But who knows, I might have to revisit the idea in another video...

[@jimmyvandano9269]

Kot means Poop in German

[@KotBox]

Yeah I remember learning this a while ago. Just an unfortunate circumstance since it's also my name! Gives me a laugh though

[@wintercj]

Jinjonater is a female?😦

[@KotBox]

Indeed she is!!

[@wintercj]

@@KotBox whaaattt??? I didn't know Jinjonater is a female😦 I did not know, yo.
