The iceberg in question:
rassicas/status/1...
y'all asked for it so i worked on this practically nonstop for 5 days to deliver.
/ rassicas i draw stuff too :]
become a patron for early access to my future videos!
/ rassicas
EDIT: thanks for all the kind words! for reference, despite how i may sound i am not a girl, so if you're going to refer to me in third person, please use they/them pronouns. thank you!
EDIT (again): SPLATOON 3! Also damn this is blowing up
I don't think there will be iceberg-worthy material for the new game until a while after it comes out. If I added splatoon 3 theories now, THAT would age poorly. just sayin.
Amendments to the video / answers to frequently commented comments:
The mystery of Marie's pet at 13:34 has been solved, and it turns out there's a rare piece of concept art that confirms that it's an evolved scallop! You can check out the post here. (Thank you ShinyGirafarig for sending this my way!)

Settling what the Gen in Gen 83 is short for! (20:56) A few people suggested "General" which makes sense in a military context, but I ruled this out because the messages talk about her being in training to be a combat engineer. For some reason I never thought to check what Gen 83 is in Japanese, and it's 第83期. 期 means a period of time, so yes, generation. Still cryptic as hell though!
I know Pearl is 21. I translated chunks of the second artbook too. I deliberately left her out for the sake of showing more obscure examples. Also when I've seen people question adult inklings, they generally mean ones who are old enough to be the parents of the playable Inklings.

Ok but the fact that the professor not only froze Judd but made a back up clone of him and injected him with an immortality serum shows how much he loved his cat and it’s adorable
He also made an ai to teach the ways of human to the next intelligent species, but it went rogue and tried to kill inkopolis
@@unitds27-delta we don’t talk about that
@¿sweeze? his intentions were good, it just went rogue
@@unitds27-delta I mean, that's prolly within the parameters of teaching them about the ways of humans
@@unitds27-delta he really was the last human saint.
"Where did all the adult inklings go?"
Pearl: *is literally 21*
And Marina literally 18
Squid Sisters are both about 19
captain cuttlefish
Maybe the age for being an adult in Splatoon it's changed (?, like we know that all mammals (counting humans) got extinct, so they don't know about that. And maybe they changed it to a higher age. Idk lmao
(Clears throat) 14 is the age of physical maturation of the inklings.
Think about it, there's _a lot_ of stuff that can lead to this thought, and I'm far too tired to list it all this moment.
"As long as he's not a bear, I'll be happy"
The lore fits! It's not like it's just "oh haha bear eat salmon" and I'm sad a lot of people are mad he's a bear. But they have the right to their own opinion, of course.
Uh oh
I'm sorry to tell ya bud
So... How do we tell them?
So uhmm... sorry to burst your bubble but-
Here is another disturbing piece of lore; the company in octo expansion is called kambo co. If you put the letters together, you get kamboko. Kamboko is actually the name of a Japanese dish. The dish is made up of BLENDED SQUID AND OCTOPUS. How disturbing is that.
@dauntlaspog !!! why? Inklings and octolinga are litteral ocopus and squid
It's a pun, of course it's a pun
@dauntlaspog !!! it is sorta disturbing considering the fact that agent 8 was almost blended alive by a giant blender. more of a disturbing pun
ooooooooook
Isn't it Kamabo Co.?
“Save our salmons”
After the splatoon 3 trailer: 👁👄👁
Same 👁👄👁

There's so much potential for little buddy I can't wait to see what happens!!

That aged like fine... cheese! Blue cheese.
Professor: has immortality serum
Also Professor: yeah i'll inject my cat with it instead of saving mankind
I guess you're right, that doesn't make any sense
I mean I'd trust my cat more than humanity, humans are always up to something bad..
@@SofieArts true
Yeah I also never understood that. This professor sounded really smart. I mean he made a capsule for a animal to survive 10,000 years and a serum to let the animal live forever. Why tf did he not apply that to humans? I mean, there’s also the possibility humans are still alive somewhere.
I'd guess it could be that the serum only protects from aging and dying to heart failure, rather than actually making someone get a steel body. So some world wars ending all humanity could be reasonable...

Welcome to splatoon
Honestly not surprised. Have you seen Kirby Lore and some other games?
@@tforde2143 yeah the puffball killed gods because of a goddamn cake
Welcome to the splatocalypse
True
Fun fact: In Splatoon 2 Hero Mode, Marie talks about the White Ghost of Mt. Nantai. In Octo Expansion Marina and Pearl are in Mt. Nantai. The White Ghost was said to have a voice that shatters glass. Pearl can shatter glass with her voice... Pearl is the White Ghost of Mt. Nantai.
Btw if you listen closely to the deepsea metro you will hear Calamari inkantation on a piano.
Makes alot of sense.. I mean did that white dress really gave it away tho?

A reply to a Splatoon youtuber as well

“The adults are just doing adult stuff”
The picture: *ok guys let’s go to real wars*
@Music Stop probably
@Music Stop Basically inklings have simple and predatory brains so the active fighting in turf war games just gets all of that hunting energy out.
@@somethingbanterI’m pretty sure the “simple and predatory” thing on that scroll is Octarian propaganda.
No joke, this entire time I thought that Mr. Grizz was literally the statue.
For the longest time, me too 😭
he isnt?
i only realized it was a radio like. last week
I completely accepted the fact that a talking wooden bear was telling me to steal a random species young
Wait, he isn’t the statue!?
this was an interesting iceburg
yes
It's... You
lol i was about to send u this
@@munnybunnyummy4332 lol
Hey, uhh, you dude how are you didn’t know you liked Splatoon, whoever you are.
Finally, someone that is enthusiastic but doesn't earrape you every 5 seconds.
Who is that in reference too?
@@pixelpoe3469 I... I'm not sure. I wrote the comment a year ago lol
@@levthelion71810 😅ok
Wendigoon? Because he did that fucking numerous times with his dumbass “haha giants *EARRAPE*.
It's good to see that someone gets that Splatoon isn't just "squids play turf wars together" and other nonsense. I love Splatoons lore and I also think it's cool that you have the Haikara Walker and can translate it so that others can get more of Splatoons lore.
The "splatoon is a post apocalyptic shooter" point now is even clearer because of splatoon 3
Splatoon 3 is basically an apocalypse after another apocalypse lmao
I think it’s just a different area of the splatoon world
@@koveltskiis8391 well yeah but its chaotic there
Postpost
@@koveltskiis8391 Splatoon 2 is already post apocalyptic so it's possible it could just be the case of yet another apocolypse/war
Splatoon has always been a post apocalyptic shooter
Even back to the first game in the diary entries or whatever they’re called
splatoon: lol look at these happy kids turning into squids and back to themselves
also splatoon: *Hundreds of octolings were forced into tests, then brutally murdered whether or not if they completed them, also there has been multiple world wars within humans and inklings that resulted in millions dead, ALSO sanitized enemies are dead and are being mindlessly controlled to attack the enemy using green ink, which is actually blood*
Splatoon agin: anyway want see more mind controll
What the fuck I thought the stuff they shot at you in octo expansion was hand sanitizer or dish soap.
@@Djstudiosgold In fact I'm pretty sure that all of the inklings and octolings ink is also their blood based on some of the sunken scrolls (I'm pretty sure some of them show ink sack organs instead of hearts and say that they pump ink through the body but I might be imagining things) and the fact that you explode in ink when you die, even in water. So yeah.
Also splatoon: *Many intelligent clownfish are treated like pets and slowly die of neglect as their owners don't care about them and only use them as accessories*
@@TopEye64 *clownfish
I think a good point to add is that a lot of the sunken scrolls were made by the octarians. For example the biology of the inkling. It was from an octarians stand point, stating that the inklings are predatory and simple minded. Yet that doesn't seem to be given that they live in a really diverse world and society. But splatoon is indeed one of my top favorite games because of all the hidden lore. The developers did an amazing job of keep the secret buried just under the surface so those that want more lore to the game can find it.
9:16 In a lore video I watched about Splatoon... gosh, years ago(man, that makes me feel old)- they mentioned that the odd 'screams' and clanking sounds similar to the blender we see in the octo expansion. Which is almost just as eerie because that implies that *something* has been blended in those blenders previously- or maybe *someone*
Uh yeah. We see six full blenders of Tartar's primordial ooze on the NILS cannon.
I mean, they certainly have. The sanitized octarians are reconstituted goop of the previous agents who completed their trials
Tartar literally mentions that there have been 10,007 subjects to 8
i've played splatoon 2 for a less than a year, so i didn't think that the lore was THIS deep until seeing the Splatoon 3 trailer. I literally did not know any of these, thank you
Did you play octo expansion? This is pack has a good story too.
@@TrashSpace69 I hate how hard the octo expansion is. Its definitely darksouls-like. Most of the time I just let Off The Hook beat it for me.
@@lulzalfest ... There is nothing “Dark Souls” about Octo Expansion. Either you constantly refuse to learn how challenges in the Octo Expansion work just to make yourself the victim, or you have never touched a video game your entire life until today. Saying that a game or a DLC is the “dark souls” of something without giving any reasoning outside of “it’s hard for me” is just bullshit. Think about how you’re actually playing the damn game before you call something difficult, and never call any game outside of the Dark Souls series as a “Dark Souls-like” ever again. At this point, the term is just a media buzzword and doesn’t even mean anything outside of “boohoo this game is too hard for us dumb game journalists”
@@momsaccount4033 typical dark souls player always saying games aren't hard and don't need very high levels of precision and concentration because they're mutants that can breeze through these hard games. smh.
@@lulzalfest You would have a point if I actually had a PlayStation console to play a Dark Souls game, which I don’t. For a person playing Octo Expansion for the first time, yeah, some challenges can be difficult, but none of the challenges are obstacles you cannot overcome with either patience or practice. From the sounds of it, you have neither.
Inklings now: What does this mean?
Humans then: *memes*
Im imagining them being confused on an image of a horse with the text juan on it

No matter how much later species make fun of us, they will never understand the true beauty and meaning to live that is memes.
Splatoon is the incarnation of
"_____ Gameplay" (Happy and funny)
"_____ Lore" (Really fucking dark)
Holy shit the amount of lore that starts connecting dots with Splatoon 3 is insane. I swear, the plot to splatoon 3 was in our faces this whole time
God damn, the developers did NOT need to go that in depth with world building. They could have just been like “hehe funny squid game” and nobody would bat an eye.
I think it was more of a “we can’t help it” situation. Once an idea takes over, it often means the creators saw that design and the lore was literally inspired from that. I definitely know how that feels.
Yeah maybe. But it's always more fun to find out/write about lore
It's pretty similar to their game design philosophy, isn't it? Simple on the surface, deep on the inside....
I loved all of this!!!
Also, an addition to iceberg. The ink the sanitized octolings and tartar use is not ink at all! It's actually BLOOD. This is bc octopie don't have hemoglobin in there blood but a copper rich hymogeycen that makes there blood a blue color....
I noticed that too, that the blue colour is octoling blood
"Aha! You can hide but you can't run! I will splat you with my OWN BLOOD.
AND MISERABLY FAIL...."
Dang, i know Octo expansion is dark, but not THIS dark...
@Herrick Family they blend it but we don't see the blend process. But we DID see they spread blood everywhere. I think it's cool if someone has a mod that change the color of tartar's ink to red
Well, they're actually dead, I guess they don't mind shooting blood at everything xD
"as long as its not a bear ill be happy" Splatoon 3: that's a nice theory you got there, would be a shame if i-
"as long as he's not a bear, ill be happy" 😬 greetings from sept 2022
Regarding Marie's pet, I once read in tumblr they were evolved clams.. Oysters? It even had a little diagram of said creatures evolving and flying out of the shell! Unfortunately, I've been searching and I can't find anything abt it anymore, so take it with a grain of salt
MAN id love to see that post! I saw one of my friends suggest something like that too, and that kinda does make sense with how it's body looks a lot like scallop meat! Though there's a guy in the band bottom feeders who's also a scallop so maybe there's some crazy divergent evolution happening lol
@@rassicas yeah perhaps! We know how wacky evolution in splatoon can get.. These are way broader loose examples, but, some fish being more humanoid than others (salmonids being That One Radioactive Monkey scene in the simpsons lmao) and we do see normal algae and then just.. The Bottom Feeders guy being sentient! Or the implication of plain normal not sentient sea life still existing! This is all speculation rambling but yeah for me the idea wouldn't be that out of the picture!
I've heard suggestions that it's sentient tofu? A few of my friends have said something about it being a tribute to the time when splatoon was just tofu blocks. At least, I believe I've heard of that.
@@junebug6685 I was gonna say I don't know how likely that is, but then I remembered that sentient seaweed exists in splatoon so. God, who knows
COMING BACK TO THIS apparently the name of the silver-lipped pearl oyster in japanese translates to "butterfly shellfish" so there's another (possible) piece of evidence to it being an oyster or something!
... I think that 2020 SOS thing makes some sense now
Lol
We either evolve to crab or revolve to monkee
oh shi
@@thedastardlylizard5944 or die and let anything that lived in the sea evolve
Hmm... devolve to grass... yes... this is the way
I noticed something recently about Tartar! I saw that when we fight the NILS Statue, on the big sanitized ink jug in the statue's mouth, there is a window where you can see the sanitized ink and what, too me at least, looks like an eye floating around in there. This could be a reference to the terrifying beta design of Tartar and his eyes floating around in the blender. I'm not completely sure it's an eye, but look for yourself if you think I might be wrong!
last time i looked, i saw a sanatized octoball in there
I like how the implications behind Nishida coming from a family with 247 children are so incredibly concerning that it was included as the second last iceberg detail.
But I feel it will most likely get passed off as "funny detail" and never get elaborated on in-game if much more.
8:34 This Easter Egg goes deeper actually. The laugh clips used for the statues are the exact same ones heard when you defeat Koloktos in Skyward Sword. Coincidentally, Koloktos is a possessed statue...
Maybe it’s nothing more than a reference?
@@theparrishshow9803 you’re no fun 😠
@@Empy_C.
It was just a suggestion
@@theparrishshow9803 I think it’d be interesting if it happened to be the ghost of a human, and the statue was made by said human (maybe as a way to insert the creator into his own world like a lot of developers do)
You know, it does sound similar because of the pitch but I don’t think it is the same laugh. The one from ss is longer, but I couldn’t recognize the same pattern from splatoon in the ss one. The splatoon one also sounds more like a pitched up inkling laugh specifically, while the ss one sounds like a pitched up normal little kid laugh. Inklings have that kind of distinctive sound to them that I can’t explain
To play devil's advocate to the "inklings have no bones" part...that scroll is likely an Octarian propaganda piece, with how "terrifying" the rest of their biology is described.
Callie and Marie talk about their lack of bones as well in a splat 1 newscast
The idols have heights of around 5 feet, you can see the opponent's team squidpartying from all the way across Walleye Warehouse, multiple NPCs comment on squids having no bones, and even with the sheer amount of ink an Inkling puts out just by chilling in squid form, you'd NEED that high of a capacity to fill the ink tank that quick! It's kinda like a documentary about lions- no matter how tense the music and slow-mo shots are, the fact remains that they will absolutely body everything they see.
@@applechoco483 its actually a possibility that inklings could be smaller than five feet, there's evidence on it and theres a video ive seen that gives an explanation on their height and how inklings could either be 1 inch or 1-2 feet aswell
*hearing about Mr.Grizz on the iceberg* well well well
9:57 the fact that they scrapped these is literally a violation to splatoon fans, I would die for the far right octoling boy haircut, the fact that the tentacles cover the eyes is freaking adorable
Splatoon is so packed with culture, it’s inkredible.
@@Tired14 jesus christ, let people make a pun and live their life
U cheecky little-
Ooh
I get it lolk
Ink-redible... i see what u did there lol, nice one
now you made me like the comment
The cannibalism one reminds me of zora from zelda eating fish, but now that i think about it it's probably just because it's easier for them to catch fish than, like, shoot a bird. I think it's the same for inklings.
Yeah, Jabu Jabu ._. In real life fish eat other fish so it's fine, I think
Rito eat poultry too.
better to eat fish than birds I think not just for convenience but what about the rito
I mean, fish eat other fish all the time
RIP to rassicas hoping Mr. Grizz isn't a bear-
I find Marina's full name interesting. Marina translates to 'Harbour' whilst Ida translates to 'Gone'. Could this imply some secret meaning? Perhaps 'harbour gone' could mean something similar like 'boats have left' or something. I'm looking into this too much but just putting my theory out there.
Wait
If Marina is Harbour
Pearl and Marina
Pearl Marina
Pearl Harbour?
@@frederikgjernrosenberg868 _Oh no_
Well, she defected from the Octarians, so it could mean she has left their harbour to start a new life with the inklings?
I didn’t know a lot in this video, but what really surprised me was that Agent 3 became a DJ??? I hope we get some of their music in Splatoon 3!
I knooow why is no one talking about that??
That would be so frickin cool
That might replace Turquoise October, I think it would be quite cool if that happened
@𝕆ctophones 🦑 Actually its confirmed It's music from a DJ called Dedf1sh! Although that would have been cool!
Splatoon 3 is here and she's not a DJ.
A dark theory for the screams is that it's the sounds of the deep sea metro. You can hear the sounds of trains and the screams are most likely octolings going through the metro.
It's not all Octolings, though. We know for a fact that Iso Padre was one of the test subjects, and there were probably a variety of other species as well.
Rassicas: I just hope mr. Grizz is not a bear.
Nintendo: that line doesn't work here.
looking back on this video after playing through Splatoon 3, its surprising how accurate the Ark Polaris / Bear sign correlation is. same with the correlation between the bear sign and Mr Grizz. seeing how bits in the pervious Splatoon games all tied together and foreshadowed the events and lore revealed in 3 is astounding. so much thought was put into these games, even down to the tiny details that would normally be overlooked. same with the SOS messages and the fax machine, however the fax machine might be a bit of a stretch. the “Save our Salmon” message shows what the effects of collecting the golden eggs would be in the third game, and it’s possible the Fax Machine messages might be from tests of sending things into space with the Alterna rocket, however i’m not 100% sure.
So basically Tartar’s beta design was kinda gonna be like the Omega Flowey of splatoon.
"Mmmm, I can feel them wriggling...
Awww, you're feeling left out, aren't you?
Well, that's just perfect.
After all, I only have six souls.
I still need one more...

There's so much lore in Splatoon I was hesitant to watch this video at first sense I'd already watched a Splatoon iceberg video prior to this one but I'm surprised that both this video & the other one have a good amount different information in them.

9:12 The Boss battle screams are actually supposed to be a train, This is confirmed by one of the devs who realized when play testing cause they have a train by there apartment so of course they would recognize it.
That shit is more than just a train
I can hear a train but I can also hear the screams. Both at the same time. You know what place in the splatoon universe has screams (actually) and trains as well? I'm just gonna say smoothie and leave it at that 💀
@@a_bear
It has basically been all but confirmed that that’s the origin of the noises. The only possible way to deny this is if the noise can be heard in the upcoming Splatoon 3.
Then again there are theory is that commander TarTar is still alive so either way the chances of the blending still going on is very much a possibility.
Point being I know what’s making those noises and it’s horrifying.
@@theparrishshow9803 in alterna log 4 it says humans tried to leave alterna but the elders said no, the scientists went on with it anyway and the whole place collapsed apparently so I think someone added it in so the crystals at the top of alterna are mimicking the human screams… (sorry if I worded it badly)
@@Alchemyyyyyy
But the crystals only reflect images, not audio
There is so much lore in Splatoon and it felt like nobody except me and a few others realized that before Octo Expansion.
I try to stay super up to date and knowledgeable about Splatoon lore, but DANG is there a lot I miss! I really hope a third game expands upon the lore. The world is easily why I’m still in love with the series, even though I haven’t played in a long time (aside from 2 battles during the Mario Splatfest).
you are so in luck for the news we got today
@@asherville Literally anybody who watched this video is in luck.
@@DJCalliean lol
well you see...
Something I'd like to mention about unreleased gear. The Ika Musume (Squid Girl) armor set also did not reappear in Splatoon 2. This was most likely due to licensing or something of the sort, but it's still sad that we didn't get it again. That set had my favorite hat in the entire game. Rest in peace Squid Girl gear, you will be missed.
31:57 '' A long as he's not a bear i'll be happy '' Oh boy....
21:06, the ''Gen 83'' is spanish is translated as ''Octarians engineer of *level* 83'', so i think it just means what range marina had in the army before leaving
I feel like grizz could be the villain in the next splatoon game ngl. The salmonoids do literally nothing wrong, but grizz hires children to wipe them out by the hundreds and steal their eggs. It would also line up with the save our salmonoids thing and the fact that we have a salmon friend in splatoon3

TBH I'd be totally cool with him being a fat fish that looked like a bear or yes, even a water bear! just not a mammalian bear.
That'd be hilarious. Here we are thinking he's this big intimidating creature of mysterious origin and suddenly... Boom. Tiny baby chunky man
I was just thinking the same!! Imagine a water bear that evolved or something like that and he reveals himself in the third game
As long as you draw a circle you're safe tho...
Tardigrades are also known as water bears so it could be a thing but they’d be really tiny

GET READY TO UPDATE THE ICEBERG, WE GOT SPLATOON 3 NEXT YEAR
I’ve played splatoon since the first game came out and I was even decently suprised the lore was this deep
I absolutey adore games with deep and dark lore. Here are some of my theories on some things
The noises you hear near boss fights are either;
1. The train
2. The heartbreaking screams of the octolings who we're blended.
3. More octolings who are also going through the stages screaming for help, or bosses screaming I defeat.
When a games history is more interesting than the real world.

My guy have you seen Ancient Rome that’s sick
Real world history IS very interesting. It's just that US schools teach it in the most boring way possible.
History is super interesting.
@@slasherflicks
There’s only so much you can cram in only a few years. It’s just supposed to peak your interest, a sampler of sorts. That’s also what you get when you don’t have a person interested in history teaching history.
They don’t even teach how insane the US war effort and scale was during ww2.
*Splatoon 3 is revealed*
rassicas: More lore for the iceberg!
Lmao
For my senior English class, I wrote an essay about salmonids.
It was more about how each boss salmonid's abilities relate to real life salmon, such as the Maw possibly usong electromagnetism to "see" what's above ground while they travel below.
I also did an essay talking about the morals of salmon run, and Mr. Grizz's true intentions being illegally modified weapons, but I forgot to turn that one in so I'll never know what grade I would have gotten.
9:21 I know it's been about a year since this video was posted but I just wanted to let you know that some people are theorizing that these screams & scary noises are octolings being blended by tartar after completing everything, and I believe the train noises are octolings escaping or just quiting. Again I'm not sure if this is true because I have no confirmation and I have not played octolings expansion in splatoon 2.
Edit: when you were talking about the thousands of dead test subjects (26:47) this is technically what I’m talking about. The screams in the boss arenas are screams coming from these test subjects. There was probably a lot more that went into these deaths that we don’t know but the fact that the screams in the first game seem to be connected to the second seems super cool to me
you know, with actual in-depth splatoon lore being so rare and with so much official content "hidden" behind the language barrier, I thought I'd become very knowledgeable about it, so seeing so much stuff in this iceberg that I couldn't recognize was a magnificent surprise- and you unironically translated the haikara walker?! I thought I would have to wait around a year or two for an official localization, holy moly! I will definetely check that out, I've been dying to get my hands on that book since it was announced! was about time my youtube recommendations ACTUALLY catered to me :} this was an amazing video and I'm looking forward to watch the rest of your stuff once I have the time! Thank you for your effort and content, as a splatoon fan who lost hope in the fandom, your channel is great news!
i figured clown fish were like parrots. smart and can talk but limited in what they say. it would explain how theyre symbiotic and usually say very little.
I thought about the parrot concept too, as it would be less of a headache if these small species were not sentient! but they have separate personalities and use language in a way the bigger species they've latched on to wouldn't say. Craymond, while not a clownfish but is still another tiny sea creature who doesnt talk a lot, came to Flow on his own accord because she was very lost on a trip and he wanted to help her get around. all this makes me lean towards them being sentient intelligent creatures, smarter than a parrot. would be nice to get some official clarification on this because its. weird.
I love the amount of detail put into Splatoon as a whole. The fact that we get the names of bands and their members behind music in the game, the times and dates of less important events, god we even get an explanation to where ink goes after a battle. It all makes for a world you want to learn more about and find things in. A game universe you want to be immersed in, even if it's a universe where you can't get milk.
25:19 How were you so close to what actually happened - this is amazing

Who knew a game about painting has this much deep and dark lore
"Painting"
Nintendo are good at that kind of thing.
This is an incredible compilation of interesting Splatoon lore! As someone relatively new to the games, I found it quite informative!
So, the Book of Madai. That likely translates to "When the seven continents of humanity go up in smoke (as the water levels rise), the pink fish will surface and devour all land life."
This refers to the land mammals going extinct. The first beings to evolve into the Mollusk Era were Salmon. And when climate change did its job and raised the water levels to the point where humans couldn't survive, the evolved salmonids took to the land and devoured humans and other mammals in a violent feeding frenzy.
And I know this because I've seen the perspective. Ever been mobbed by Chum in Salmon Run? It's terrifying.
something not mentioned about was in splatoon 2, where there’s a shaking sea snail next to murch, and on the other side of murch, a box full of empty sea snail shells, suggesting that murch eats sea snails. (Or maybe I just missed that lol)
He.. h-he does.. sea urchins eat sea snails.
There's also a screwdriver next to him, so he probably pries them out
I care less about whether Mr Grizz is an actual bear and more about who’s behind the Salmon Run operation... i want splatoon 3 sooo bad, but I pray the mode returns because it’s my favorite! I wouldn’t have sunk nearly 1000 hours into it if it wasn’t for Salmon Run tbh
Boy do I have some news for you >:)
@@junecrocker do you think Salmon Run will return though, that little fishy pet was awfully cute... I’ll feel bad about killing his fishy friends
@@joeyjose727 I dont think it’ll return because the plot is probably going to revolve around helping the salmonids :(
@@junecrocker I don’t think that either because of the save our salmons thing
This aged well
31:02 So Mr Grizz is a bear. Were you disappointed?
31:44
Well, this entire section took on a new light given the events of the Splatoon 3 story
me before the video: well i probably know most of this
me after:
apparently I've been living in ignorance all this time
Polaris is a star in the constellation Ursa Minor, or little dipper.
Ursa Minor is latin for Little Bear.
Coincidence I think not
hol up
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I love seeing people react to the Splatoon lore, it's always a rollercoaster lmao
for the "Save Our Salmon" thing I think this could relate to the new Splatoon 3 trailor and how everything is a deserted wasteland. We seem to be able to have a salmonid pet in the game so perhaps they will have more lore tied in with the main game and story mode. Maybe we saw the salmonid's message and took them along with us through this wasteland
Bro just predicted splatoon 3
Just thought I should mention, San gō (ごう) literally means “Number 3”, so DJ SANGO’s name has got to be a reference to their role as Agent 3
Splatoon lore really makes you wonder, and should there ever be a 3rd game (I know there might not be) I hope at least some things get answered
Splatoon 2 sold nearly 12 million copies, there *gotta* be another game coming, even if it's gonna be a while. still yeah, no guarantees everything is gonna be answered
Just pray that we dont have a mother or pikmin situation on our hands and that the direct tomorrow has splatoon news
HELL YEA BABY
boy are you in luck for the news today
We're from the future to tell you good news
Honestly mad props to you for having the skill and actually doing some translation work and putting it out there in order to make more things about this game known.
Pleased to hear that I know most of this! I feel like the thousands of killed test subjects would be near the top, though, because one could infer that in order to get all that primordial ooze, Tartar would have to kill A LOT of subjects...
I have a theory wich would explain the cars being on both sides. When you enter a battle you just get sent to a random battle in a random country. I got this idea when i looked at that you cant see anything resembling an stage around inkopolis but in just a few seconds you just appear in a battle.
the stages in Splatoon 1 and 2 are in the same city/region. This is canon.
Oh ok
sad...
