>>149064584Check the episodes, you'd be surprised how early the already decided who the main gang should be.
Very early on it was just Isabella with the Fireside Girls as extras, sometimes just Isabella, and sometimes just Phineas and Ferb.
Episode 5a "Raging Bully", is when the main gang truly gets together for the first time, not as friends, since Buford is still an actual enemy here, but he and Baljeet finally get top billing after only having small roles in previous episodes.
However, the TRUE first time the main gang finally all get together as friends is episode 6a "Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!". You got everyone who matters, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and the Fireside Girls, there's still some unnamed extras I believe, but they don't add much.
After that, episode 8a, Jerk De Soleil, is where Django makes his first and only appearance as "the sixth ranger" of the group, infamously eating breakfast at the Flynn-Fletcher house like he owns the place.
After this, Django almost fades into the background, he makes a nonspeaking cameo in "One Good Scare Ought to Do It!" and acts as the announcer in Greece Lightning, both episodes where the main gang is also used, yet Django isn't really part of it.
Then, after a lot of nothing, he finally gets his own episode in "Oil on Candace"... and that's basically it for Django lmao, he didn't do shit. And when season 2 came along, Irving pushed him further into the background, while Jenny got to have a few more roles.
In conclusion, Django was never really part of the main gang, he was kinda sorta somewhat close, but he really wasn't.
