It's also worth pointing out that according to official Splatoon art, Marina and Pearl live together, and Pearl's rich as hell, so she probably doesn't have a landlord at all.
EXCELLENT point
And they were roommates
You can be rich and still live in an apartment with a landlord.
@@joeyjose727 omg they were roommates
historians will say they were good friends
"what if Mr Grizz Is a bear?"
That aged like wine
Same with the line just before: "what if there were mammals launched into space"
20:26 aged just as well too
Aged perfectly
I think we’re all missing the true, more terrifying, point here; landlords exist in the Splatoon world.
All mammals may be gone in the Splatoon world but CAPITALISM PERSSITS
That's cool, housing probably is handled by the private sector then.
Guess whats more terrifying that also means taxes exist in the splatoon world
Tom Nook decides to cross over into Splatoon, breaking all lore and reasoning just to get your rent payment
…
"My landlord is a narwhal." could be interpreted as "My landlord is a t-rex" or some other dinosaur, just poorly phrased. So that it's less literal and more of just a straight up insult saying they're a deadly prehistoric beast, at least for the Inklings as I believe Narwhals would pierce fish to eat them. And on live TV. Damn Marina you savage.
exactly what I thought too!
Could also be interpreted as Marina just calling her landlord old.
Maybe Pearl should have reacted to “My landlord is a narwhal” all surprised like “really?!” and Marina could’ve silently looked at the camera (well, with a “…” dialogue box). Then it would show us that narwhals are known to be extinct and deepen the culture too.
Have a great day/night, Jesus loves you ❤️
thisss
@Pokedude True, unless her landlord was THAT bad XD
Also note: whales and squids tend to be paired against eachother (giant whale eating giant squid etc etc) so whales being on merch is the ABSOLUTELY the equivalent of us putting like t-rexes on stuff: “they’d destroy us if they were real isn’t that so cool and edgy?”
Yes yes, apparently the squid on the logo of enperry has a bite in it, and that bite is supposed to be from a whale!
@@rassicas Oh that’s super cool! I never actually noticed that, now I’ll have to look up the enperry logo
@@chrometheraptor did you look up the enperry logo
@@callie_calamari it. it has been sixth months. I assume yes?
New headcanon: there’s inkings/other splatoon world creatures that believe that sea mammals are still alive as a conspiracy theory. Kinda like how there’s people who believe in Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster.
All I’m imagining is a bunch of excited inklings going out on a boat in the middle of the ocean, and spending days and days there trying to capture evidence of a “real life whale” and doing so without success.
You mean like when Marina says she believes in Narwhals?
Maybe her dialogue would be better viewed as saying her Landlord is a secret agent. Which would explain Pearl calling her crazy.
Whale watching on a whole new level.
Have a great day/night, Jesus loves you ❤️
Oh boy "some mammals were sent off into space or mr grizz is a bear".. rassicas im so sorry.
Rassikas, I can give you a very valid and realistic reason why marine mammals would go extinct. With all the flooding we would have a rapid change in the salinity on the water, making marine animals hypertonic in comparison to the sea.
Unlike many other sea animals, most marine animals take a long time to get into sexual maturity, and usually have very few children at a time. This would mean they might not be able to keep up with this rapidly changing environment. That means they would die out/get out competed.
I probably expressed myself very badly.
im expecting the splatoon team to take a more bizarre route if we get an explanation, but i genuinely like this reasoning as a more realistic take on it!!!
And then there are birds.
@@emperorbooglitch8540 birds can fly to avoid the rising water levels and can hold on to driftwood they find
@@nyxie8799 Yes, though technically aren't they mammals? Or are they something else that I forgot about? Avians?
@@emperorbooglitch8540 birds are archossaurs. They split from reptiles 230 millions of years ago. They are decents of diapsid reptiles and not sinapsids like Mammels.
The narwhal thing was a massive joke that flew over everyone’s head since the whole Splatfest was based on mythical horned animals. Narwhals would probably be unicorns to inklings just from how things transfer to their culture.
“There’s no mammals, so whatever is being poured over the cereal might not be milk,” Nogami laughed.
Uh oh
💀
"Squid cheese" and "Organic ink butter"
Oh, like, Soya milk or something.
Mmmhmm yummy
This is my kingdom come-
Given how all of inkopolis thought octolings were extinct in the first game, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were a small population of cetaceans and/or sirenians living somewhere in the ocean. It seems inklings' observation skills aren't that great xD
From what I found, it isn't that they believed Octarians were extinct, it's that they don't believe Octarians are real. The same way that Marina talks about how she wishes humans were real, despite also stating that human bones can be found anywhere. Not that she wishes humans were alive, but that they were real. This is especially important because Octo Expansion did change some dialogue for Off the Hook, but not that line. And in Octo Expansion, Cuttlefish seeing the human statue says that the humans are extinct, meaning there is a difference between being real and being alive.
@@justinalicea1590 ive been looking a lot at JP octo expansion dialogue, and found its not that they dont think octarians are real, or extinct like i incorrectly stated way back in the iceberg video, its that they thought they went super far away!
marina saying she wishes humans were real is a joke in reference to an old splatoon miiverse post of "i wish squids were real," so thats localization only.
@@justinalicea1590 The "I wish humans were real" was a joke line, referencing an old splatoon miiverse post that said "I wish squids were real"
@@rassicas omg thats amazing
My personal headcanon is that Marine mammals are more prominent in lore is because they survived longer than land mammals. Maybe some more resilient species they were still around when inklings were just gaining sentience,meaning that the ideas and awareness of some sea mammals existed in the inkling and general sea creature conscious,became an important part of squid culture.
I imagine them like the megafauna, they are hella old and extinct, but we do know how they were because our species was alive during that time, seeing and drawing them and the future generations. We still think sabertooths and mammoths are cool as hell, so they must think that too
inside you there are two wolves,
one understands the complexities of splatoon's post-apocalyptic dystopian world and knows why sea mammals almost definitely are all extinct
the other thinks that a cinematic shot of a blue whale breaching while an inkling watches on in awe would fuck so hard
It would be soooo cool
it's more POST-post apocalypse, cuz the apocalypse is stated to have happened forever ago, and there's like a genuine actual society with what seems to be some form of government hanging around, so... not really a post-apocalypse at that point.
I still think marine mammals getting around land in little specialized suits or machines is a cute idea
hello fantroll
mmm hamsuck
I'm glad we're at least past the era of text quirks
if I had a proper fantroll I'd come up with a quirk I guess
Marine mammals need air more than sea creatures do :/c
"The sea watches silently, biding its time." I can't wait to see what horrors beyond kid and squid comprehension await us :D
About the milk argument: I’ve heard that some fish can produce substances that act like milk, though they are chemically different. The Discus Fish and the Arapaima can both produce a substance that helps their young thrive, effectively what milk does.
And pigeons!
there also might be soya milk and maybe almond milk as well
Hmmmmm which to buy? Soy or Discus or pigeon MILK?
What about laboratori Milk you know with Bacteria
Whoa, arapaimas look cool. Since discus “milk” doesn’t look milky, if the milk in the cereal is an actual animal product then it’s probably arapaima milk. Thanks for sharing the cool facts!
Have a great day/night whoever reads this, Jesus loves you ❤️

Literally predicts the entire splatoon 3 campaign.
PFFFFF
plot twist: rassicas was told about the storyline and they were hinting at it casually
0:44 "No not all mammals are extinct, there are pigeons and ducks" This comment is fucking killing me.
"If there's no milk, how pancake?"
I've gotten dozens of comments saying "what if marina saying her landlord is a narwhal is a figure of speech/insult?" and i'm getting tired of it so ... Please look the rest of her dialogue! There's no way its a figure of speech: She means it literally, and its framed like Pearl is the one stupid for not knowing that "narwhals are real."
Marina: No, seriously. My landlord is a narwhal. I talked to him yesterday when I dropped off my rent check. We got to talking about his horn, and it turns out it's actually a giant tooth! He said he brushes it with a toothbrush three times a day.
Pearl: So narwhals have a giant...facetooth? You're really committed to this fake narwhal thing.”
Marina: NARWHALS ARE REAL! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!
Pearl: Yeah. OK, Marina. Have fun with your fake whale. If you need me, I'll be flying on my unicorn through a million rainbows.
Marina: I need to find a new job.
maybe he lives in a paddling pool lol
Maybe Marina is the crazy one, and is hallucinating Narwhals existing, even though they died off thousands of years ago.
@@AAZ-yu5ss Or she is just joking.
I hate to bring up the shallow theory of "it's for entertainment so it's fake," but, given that Marina and Pearl live together (as an earlier comment stated), it's entirely possible the "narwhal landlord" thing was just a bit for the cameras. Just some "we don't know how to set up saying this stuff about narwhals, so Marina, why don't you pretend you pay one rent! It's not like they know you live with Pearl anyway!" Given the Octo Expansion retcons Marina's early localization personality as being an act, it's not out of the realm of possibility for them to fudge things for the camera.
Could be a reference to real life where many still think narwhals are fantasy animals like unicorns
bro predicted the splatoon 3 story mode lore💀
Someone is gona be mad after playing the new hero mode lol
YES LMAOOOOOO
“What if there’s mammals launched into space”

1:29 there's no way you just mentioned these three things in EXACT order
NAHHHHHHHH WTF THATS CREEPY HOW ACCURATE THIS IS
@@minou2980 FR
@@minou2980 TRUE💀💀💀
Considering the most marine mammals are currently some kind of endangered its not surprising that 3 extra world wars and the nuking of the icecaps would kill off any that had survived to that point. The state of the world prior to the extinction of humans was probably pretty bad environmentally wise. How many animals do we know canonly survived? Animal animals not sea life that evolved.
does anyone else find it weird how judd and lil judd have not been seen at all during splatoon 3’s lifespan so far
maybe they’re the reason this whole mammal uprising is happening and that we need to rescue them
I think it's more likely that Lil' Judd is behind it, considering he's implied to be evil
Technically we saw them in the single player trailer but it was an art piece so your theory still stands, maybe it could be a missing persons thing, sort of like what happened when you had to find agent 3 in octo expansion, just without the customisation
What I wanna know is how they're in a completely different city every game so far.
@@LylaDagger Well, Inkopolis Square isn’t too far from Inkopolis Plaza (you can see the tower in the distance at the back right side of the map) so really the Splatlands are the farthest we’ve gone, and considering this comment you replied to, I don’t think Judd and Lil Judd made it.
well that aged badly
To be fair... considering they treat mammals as dinosaurs, it is possible that narwhal is kind of an in-universe slang for "old person", and maybe Marina was just joking about her lanlord being really old.
Woah, that’s a really smart theory! :00
My theory is that the marine mammals went extinct from a lack of oxygen. The flooding would have killed all the plants, reducing the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, which caused problems for marine mammals because they get their air from the surface (they don't have gills). Most oxygen is provided by algae though, so perhaps the rising sea level reduced the amount of light for the algae, leading to some of it also dying, reducing the amount of oxygen above the sea for the marine mammals further.
That’s sounds decently sensible but won’t the lack of oxygen affect Judd and lil Judd too maybe even affecting the octolings and inklings that could also breath oxygen?
Perhaps the octolings and inklings don’t breath oxygen and Judd and Lil Judd use respirators that mountaineers use.
@@fancyb.p.6122 All animals breathe oxygen, it's just a result of simple respiration. Clearly, we see trees in Splatoon, and many kinds of land plants from our time are stated to exist, so it's likely that they made a resurgence after the extinction of mammals. Given the fact that there aren't a lot of ways to kill off all the algae on earth short of completely demolishing the oceans, (which would have killed off all the sea life), so this theory, while interesting, still leaves a lot of things unexplained.
Not only is there a ton of greenery, many forms of aquatic plants would likely thrive in the splatoon world, so the oxygen difference probably would not be enough.
@@woomy2343you’re making an assumption that because there is oxygen then inklings and octolings must breath oxygen like real world animals. They don’t have to breath oxygen.
Unless I’ve missed some confirmation on what they breath in which case I would love to see it.
@@fancyb.p.6122 they evolved from squids and are thus animals.
Also, you're forgetting that there are other animals that live in the world of splatoon that do exist in real life. Birds, fish, and turtles are just a few.
3:44- "...the only mammal *known* to exist."
3:52- "...Judd was *supposedly* the squid worlds only mammal."
I'm just playing devils advocate.
I've noticed that Nintendo developers usually use open wording like that in interviews, probably to avoid writing themselves into a corner when they need to retcon something.
1:33 It's funny because both were true, Grizz was a bear and the reason hes alive is because he was in space and he was supposedly the only one left alive after everything and everyone else died out after orbiting Earth for however long (summarized version, there's a lot more to that)
One reason why marine mammals might have gone extinct could be because of the weapons of mass destruction used the the squids in the great turf war that you brought up in your iceberg video. Many marine mammals might have already gone extinct before then, but if there were any left then those squid wmd would have definitely killed them.
13:41, they did survive! You can see them holding clash blasters during online battles!
wait what-
Shawty was right on the money at the end there zam
I'm so sad that all the rats went extinct, even the giant rat that makes all the rules 😔.
“What if some mammals were launched into space? What if mr grizz is a bear?”
Just predicted the splatoon 3 story mode plot :)
Rassicas would be so mad if they saw the splatoon 3 final boss spoilers
Dang, I went in thinking maybe marine mammals were still around but now you've got me convinced they're gone.
You brought up a point i was very confused about recently which was the weird times pearl seemed to have known Marina was an Octoling before the expansion but during it, she sounded like she just found out.
NOA really tried to cover their ass for that mistake in the OE dialogue by having pearl say that 'it was just jokes.' but yeah, JP makes it more clear, pearl Definitely didn't know marina was an octoling!
@@rassicas Well, I mean, that too is kinda confusing too. How did she not know Marina was an Octoling. It isn't something you can hide like how a Wizard can hide their magic from others, because she is one outside and magic is inside. She must have invented a whole series of cover stories, which in the end probably should've had Pearl break away from Marina. This isn't like the TV show Merlin where Arthur is an idiot who has grown overly attached to Merlin, no, there has to be some psychological reason for why Pearl hangs around Marina so much.
She must have never bought Marina's stories in the first place or she can't bear the thought of losing Marina because of either School Trouble's (it is a whole running gag that Pearl is too short, so she could've been bullied because of that) or because of family troubles (Money can't buy you love) and she has grown too clingy around Marina. There could be hundreds of other reasons why they hang out together, from Pearl having an entire villain arc viewing her as a cheap source of revenue for her talents (she did have some bratty tendencies in some of her dialog) to her just appreciating and sitting back in awe at her technological imagination (She constantly says that she has never seened most of the things that Marina has built). Heck, perhaps all of these happened as her character developed, we will probably never know since we know that they didn't focus on the Squid Sisters, Captain Cuttlefish, DJ Octavio etc for lore reasons due to budgeting and expectations for the series' success. So, we will probably have to wait a long while before we get something more in depth for how and why, and I definitely don't want something short-term gap fill because they have been performing together for long enough that there has to be something between them that they haven't revealed to us.
Now I'm just questioning how Inklings even know what colours mammals had when we don't even know what colours most dinosaurs were
Well I would think at least some records survived from the human age. Maybe they found some ancient artistic renditions or data stored somewhere. Or like some kid's plastic animals toy set, because plastic takes Forrrreeevvvveeeerrrrr to break down, especially if it was sheltered from the elements or just buried somewhere.
dinosaurs were 65000000 years ago, mammals in splatoon were 12000
there could be pictures of sea mammals that survived that long
Also, they could have mummified remains which would be more likely to contain pigment
The sunken scrolls have some surviving pictures from the human era, and Splatfests come from a human fax machine, so we can assume that some human media was left intact. Also we can see from a sunken scroll with a Wii U and the fact that Tartar has been around for 12,00 years as proof that some computers may have survived with salvageable data
Some thoughts:
1. Marina said her landlord was a narwal in the same joking way someone would say their landlord was a dinosaur. Their just really old and maybe a bit mean.
2. Since mammals are "coming back" as Octarians in Splatoon 3, dolphin Octolings and like a marine mammal boss would be really cool, and it also drives the message home that they were extinct before the return of the mammalians.
3. Is it possible for a non-mammal to evolve into a mammal, either naturally or forced? I'm not saying "Ooh, whales aren't mammals anymore so now they can play on land with the Inklings!", That would be kinda dumb, but it would be interesting to see if the Octarians, the Inklings, Grizzco, anyone were to create a living-I guess mutant?-marine mammal, kinda like what's already happened to Octo troopers.
4. Does anyone think we'll see any regular Octarians in story mode? Everyone is so caught up in a new species, will the old one still be around? Or have all Octarians been mammalized?
5. I never knew Rassicas was so good at splatoon! Look at those trickshots!
Well looks like you were on the money on Grizzco wanting to bring back mammals
i cannot express in words just how much that single comment calling pigeons and ducks mammals annoys me to no end.
1:19 basically sums up the inciting incidents of splatoon 3
LITERALLY LIKE WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS 6 MONTHS AGO, THE SPLATOON FANDOM KNEW
Plot twist: The landlord is really just an Inkling in a narwhal suit finding ways to make money.
*casually predicts a major element in Splatoon 3 story mode*
“gee, I hope I’m wrong about that.”
I think it would've been funny if the real "Return of the Mammalians" was a rat population in Alterna
An idea i've had as to why mammals also might be extinct is that (depending on how high the waters flooded to) since the surface of the water aka air was higher up in the world in general, that well for one it took more effort just to go and breathe, but to my own point, maybe it got so high to the point where the overall climate was very low, and air becomes sparse, aka it becomes harder to breathe, especially if most of the tree and flora is under the water (I would assume), there probably isnt as much oxygen for there to breathe in the first place.
If my limited and dumb knowledge of science is to go by I could be wrong here
Now I’m imagining sea creatures trying to reach the surface to breathe while the water rises above them and the sonic drowning music plays
if narwhals are like dinosaurs, marina could also have been just calling her landlord old as hell
1:28 I love how every thing they said here turned out to be true lol. I am so sorry you had to go through that 😔
I just looked up the Unicorn vs Narwhal dialogue. Guys, this dialogue is from an argument on whether narwhals are even real or not. Not to mention it could just be slang.
“Judd is the only mammal left in the world of the squids”
Mr Grizz: am i a joke to you
Well technically not IN the world anymore
@@minafrog Technically... yes, though he is still alive. (as seen in the credits)
@@commanderblackheart5856 no he is dead that is just a nice decoration for the credits
Having Happy little workers playing in the background is one of the eeriest pieces of accidental predictions I have seen in a while.
“Not all mammals are extinct; there’s pigeons and ducks”
scionteest
There was this special on animal planet years ago. Biologists and scientists and stuff came up with what if scenarios of humanity ended and stuff. By the end mammals were extinct and various squid species became the dominate species. It’s worth a watch to kinda sorta explain how mammals could go extinct.
It’s from the very early 2000s.
The Future is Wild
I loved The Future is Wild. The cartoon on Discovery Kids was also p good. Billiam made a retrospective here on youtube
The Future Is Wild is a prequel to Splatoon, I tell you!
"if something is made from a localization then it's not canon." Except blaster master where the localization turned canon then turned to sequel.
So why is the Japanese localization - and worse, Japanese supplementary material - special? It's still a localization even if it's the one most of the devs play.
@@keiyakins I'm not getting what you mean.
I like the idea that narwhal is just the inkling equivalent of calling someone a dinosaur
So I have another theory as to why all marine mammals died off.
So it is stated that climate change and a nuke to Antarctica caused the mass extinction of all land mammals, but a nuke that could melt ALL of the arctic would have to be pretty big and extremely powerful. Humanity in splatoon’s timeline evidently had that, so what is to say the warhead was not a “clean” warhead but a “dirty” one. This would leave large amounts of radiation that would likely mix with the air and water as well as whatever the Ice in the arctic had, possibly making earth’s atmosphere toxic for some time. As all mammals have lungs, marine mammals would have to surface and inhale these toxins, killing them all off. The radiation could also explain why evolution slingshotted only speed, causing mutations that were actually beneficial and potentially making the sea life more advanced in either cognitive or physical function before the tides went back down.
YES !!!
It's a good idea honestly but that scenario would also lead to the extinction of birds which we see still alive in game
@@plompedu I mean I feel that the utter lack of land as the flooding was implied to cause would too, it is also possible that birds are just drones in lore like that one bs conspiracy theory
While you may be right about the air part, water is incredibly good at resisting radiation. You can swim in a pool with radioactive material and be completely healthy.
@@sherbertshortkake6649 i Feel like this would depend heavily on the quantity of radioactive material released by the warhead and whatever else is destroyed by the subsequent flood. While the sudden increase in volume of water would definitely add a lot more for it to absorb I do still feel like the warhead and whatever other radioactive substances that would be absorbed by the flood would be enough to hold at least minor radioactive qualities, at least for a little while. While water is definitely a good absorber of radiation, we are also talking about a warhead that destroyed an entire continent, which would need to be 30.8x10^9 times stronger than the standard nuclear warhead (or that same number in individual bombs but in lore it was only one). However this is assuming 100% efficiency so it could be much more. That’s a much larger and much more powerful explosive than what we have, and would likely release significantly more radiation. Overall we are discussing something that would require significantly more math on a level way to advanced for me to have even an atom of hope of completing, and all things considered, I don’t think that we know enough to even be able to find out which of us is right, but it is an interesting thing to debate over.
Source for math about the nuclear warhead: www.quora.com/How-many-nukes-would-it-take-to-melt-all-the-ice-in-Antarctica
To be fair, that dialogue about MakoMart only specifically confirms that *Humpback* Whales are extinct. They were extinct in Star Trek (prior to 2286) too.
And there's been cross-region reference before. Pearl in the NA version calling herself "MC Warm Breakfast" is a reference to an EU-only Splatfest.
Another reason is because the sea levels didn’t only raise, but they got extremely hot too, thats why inkings die in water but can still drink it (because the water is so hot) so I think sea mammals simply couldn’t adapt fast enough to the land like the inklings etc did and died out in the water being too hot. Just another of my theories.
"so if its not milk what is it?"
☹️
Inklings/octos have boobs so.... maybe they drink their own supply? ...ew.

rassicas can see the future, confirmed
Babe wake up, new content of Rassicas screaming over Nintendo of America breaking the entire lore with translation jokes.
Sea Mammals have to get air from the surface right? And their food is closer to the bottom of the ocean? Maybe the water got so high that it was to difficult for them to get both air AND food. I'm not an expert on animals but that's my theory.
most large whales eat plankton from near the surface
Their food isn't really gonna be closer to the bottom of the ocean than any fish
Walrus/seals (one of them, not sure) do go to the bottom to search for clams.
maybe narwhals do exist in the Splatoon world but no one believes they're real and think of them as fairytale creatures. that might be why they were in a splatfest against Unicorns.
"so whatever is being poured over the cereal might not be milk"
*oh no*

your videos always find a way to get me in such a splatoon lore mood n i tend to develop my ocs more bc of u so thank u for that!! exciting to see your future content :)
I was invested in the chat😭
What if mr grizz.. Brought back the mammals? I mean why does he need all of these eggs (other than to eat, if he IS a bear) maybe he was experimenting using those? Who knows, I can't wait to hopefully see a deeper story than past games
I love your videos, you always have some super interesting information to share with the fandom and it's great!
Something I would love to have seen and could’ve possibly been the direction (although unlikely) of splatoon 3’s “Order” Story could perhaps have been the return of the ancient sea mammals that retreated into the deepest depths of the ocean, perhaps evolving and acting almost as “aliens” in the sense that they come from the ocean below where inklings originated, parallel to the the theory that we humans come from space and anything from behind the stars would be alien to us. It could be a cool idea and an interesting direction to take such a core part of the story (in the sense that mammals are gone) that is still so unknown.
I’m also gonna point out that in the Splatoon Comic somewhere before Splatoon 1, there is a living scientist that also went into a pod like judd.
Edit: at 15:00 the comic there is the one I’m speaking of
I'd assume that Marina meant "My landlord is a narwhal" as "My landlord is very old".
See, the references to extinct mammals makes me curious about splatoon palaeontology. How do they know the patterns of things like Orcas and Zebras? But know nothing else about them? Had they found ancient human art about these animals? Or did they find incredibly well preserved fossils?
Human relics seem more likely to me. Humanity would want to leave behind notes on the way we understood our own world- we already have the Svalbard Global Seed Bank and the Voyager Golden Record for example. After many world wars and with catastrophe looming over all life on earth, I think humanity would probably try to preserve some knowledge for future intelligent life. Through the course of time these documents may have been damaged, but some knowledge could probably be gleaned from the surviving parts inklings were able to find.
I can already disprove the theory “How are their pancakes without milk?” The Splatfest topics were chosen by humans, not Inklings.
Too meta
@@Gloomdrake no- like, literally. splatfest topics come from a fax machine. like. that’s the lore.
@@bessieburnet9816 ……what? i mean, probably, considering they have cereal, “milk” (most likely soy or almond milk), like… what’s your point?
1. the topics chosen for splatfests come from a fax machine made by humans (ie the unrealistic topics)
2. …yeah, inklings and octolings probably do eat pancakes. they also eat cereal, have milk (if you WATCHED THE VIDEO you would know that it’s probably soy or almond) and tons of other things. they are most likely plant or nut based.
Sounds very reasonable. The Splatfest themes come from "up high", which would imply Heaven, meaning they're coming from either a dead person or something divine, and humans could be revered as both of these by Inklings. These themes are also delivered through a fax machine, an archaic piece of technology only us humans would know about.
I love ur vids sm,you make me understand the lore in a way that will stick in my brain
I was so confused for a second and only then realised that this was released before splatoon 3
Maybe Marina’s landlord just has a fursona lol
... DID YOU JUST PREDICT SPLATOON 3 WHAT THE
Personally I like to think that "narwhal" is some kind of inkling slang.
Maybe it is kinda like "boomer" for us?
1:34 don’t like how right you were :/
I feel like the logos featuring whales are arisen from inborn instinctual memories of whales. Some inkling artist probably thought about those memories and decided to draw them, reinventing a creature from the past as a mythical being. Either that, or inkling society treats them like we treat dinosaurs
Seriously how did I miss this. Still excited thanks.
Ha jokes on you mr grizz is canonically a space bear
I've said this in another comment section, marine mammals for the most part NEED TO BREATH AIR. A bunch of sea levels rising suddenly will change how marine mammals operate. It will be harder for them to go to the surface to breath before diving deeper down into the water to find more food, and might even just die before finding any food. It would become 10 times harder, especially because the waves would be changing A TON and because of climate change it would be harder to get food because more species are dying around it. Some might even die because a bunch of ice is fucking melting even !!! Water becomes warmer or colder depending on location and these animals can't live in that climate, and they seemingly went through a mass extinction instead of evolving and adapting.
I do believe moose could survive, though, those things are freaks
8:11 I was so confused by these dialogues after Octo Expansion came out 😭
