Im rpetty sure in one of the recent interviews it was revealed that the main inkling is literally a 4 copy and the other inklings are copies of the 4 copy
Im pretty sure this game uses some assets from your save file in Splatoon 2 (if you still have it on your switch) to recognize some features with your Octoling, enemy Inklings, or maybe even hidden text referencing Octo Expansion For me, when I first booted up Side Order, it had all my configuartions I had with my Octoling in Octo Expansion. Same thing with this boss fight as it gave me the Agent 4 I made in Splat 2
By "it had my Octoling configurations from 2", do you mean it skipped the Agent 8 creation screen? I transferred my save and it still made me recreate her.
@@BeeLy1011 No it gave me the choice to recreate it, however before touching anything, every single option defaulted to whatever my octoling had in Octo Expansion
This is a cool boss, especially in name. "Parallel Canon". Do you even know what that's a reference to? You know how the Octarians and Octolings were the main antagonists of the first and second game? This boss flips that concept entirely on its head.
When I read the name I thought about how not only are the single players for splatoon 2 literally right across from each other, they also both took place at the same time no? Since this fight was a clear reference to agent 4 I took more of the parallel thing. Though this may be my brain simply being dead after playing this game for so long
What I think it does, is if you don’t have splatoon 2 it picks the hair based off your gender, but if you Do have splatoon 2 it takes the hair of your inkling from that game. So it kinda confirms this is agent 4
Oh cool ! I noticed that it picks the hairstyle of your inkling in Splatoon 3 but I thought that was it. But now again, hard to notice that it would actually copy the Splatoon 2 hairstyle as I picked the same hairstyle both in 2 and 3 xD
I'm 90% sure this is Agent 4's representation, at least the hair. My Splatoon 2 Inkling was the Female S1 Hairstyle and lo and behold, Parallel Canon used that in the fight.
…This appears to be Agent 4. For me she has the same hair as my Inkling in Splatoon 2. I even went into the game and changed her hairstyle to see if this boss would change accordingly, and it did.
I love this boss, i even love that they simply say « ouch » after being splatted, it could’ve shown their name like « you splatted number 1 » and the number goes on the more you splat them. fun fact : in the french version of the game, the agent are called number, so agent 8 in the french version is named number 8 (and i tought naming the parallel inklings numbers was a nice touch)
fun fact. if you have splatoon 2 then the inkling at the beginning of the boss fight that is in the middle has the same tentacles as the inkling you made in s2
As a roguelike addict who plays this DLC without any player or enemy weakening upgrades for the challenge, *these guys are BRUTAL and i love them for it*
I really upsets me that Nintendo just forgot about Agent 4. This is the closest fans of that character will ever get to seeing them in Splatoon 3. It's unfortunate how much Nintendo has tried to sweep Splatoon 2's Hero Mode and its aspects under the rug. You deserve better Agent 4.
me too, i mean, they seem to have *specific* mentions in this DLC and the parallel canon boss even uses your agent 4's hairstyle. but i don't know why they don't just SAY it's agent 4. it's a bit confusing
@@valenxizaw245 In comparison to the first game's campaign and Octo Expansion, sure it was lacking. But I didn't find to be terrible to the point I didn't want to play it again. Callie being brainwashed was a good concept on paper, but didn't hit like it could've in-game. That being said, Agent 4 still doesn't deserve to be forgotten for being part of the franchise's worst campaign.
i was so confused about why the leader of these had the hime cut in my game....only to realize i was using an inkling with that hair to try to 1000% hero mode when i got bored of splatoon 3...i randomly made that inkling because i normally play as an octo i guess she's my agent 4 now LMAO
So, what im thinking is since 4 was going to be/is the memverse's security.. perhaps they did get knocked out the 'verse, BUT parts of themselves were kept in the memverse, or copied. so there could be a point 4 would just go "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE" if they decide to enter the spire.
maybe the last fight could have been just one parallel inkling but it has AI similar to octo expansions agent 3 fight and tankier than the other parallel inklings with you fighting parallel agent 4
@@larsthememelord3383 tbh,while agent 3 is tough i think just having a crap ton of inkling clones does the job well since it's a perfect mix of not too hard and pretty hard. If you're quick in dispatching them they're easy to control and avoid becoming a threat. But if you hesitate too much it's VERY easy to die from due their onslaughts since they actually track you pretty well,always know where you are due to their drones,deal a crap ton of dmg,can have their drones summon jelletrons to even further overwelm you,and can ink turf to get you stuck. It's a test on how well you can crowd control enemy players. They're honestly imo the hardest of the 3 bosses.
The chip damage from Inkstorm helps a lot. In general the Brella is really good, especially if you have a fully upgraded Pearl to help cover your weapon kit’s limitations.
I’m scared as I noticed that this boss uses the same hair that I have on my Inkling in Splatoon 2. Is this implying that Agent 4 got Grayscaled by Order already?? That this is them??? I hope not. Canonically speaking, 4 hasn’t been present because their helicopter parents want them to focus on their education (from Corocoro magazine)…I’m hoping they’re just off studying somewhere 😭
The haired one being the same as your inkling from splatoon 2 is a nice touch but them not actually appearing in the fight sucks when the cutscene with them only appears once
they appear actually. the splattershot with splashdown is the one with hair. it's a bit hard to see since they're speedy little guys compared to other bosses being big machines
i cant wait for the day that they use ai to learn the way you played in splatoon 2 and give the inkling with agent 4's hairstyle your skills. that'd be fuckin sickk.
Despite this just being another reuse of ai enemy inklings/octolings as a level i feel like this is the best version of this just by how higher the stakes are compared to previous ones because if you're doing hackless and die here you gotta start over while in other instances you can just try again and again until you beat it but here it's like you only have one shot at this simulating closest to the pvp multiplayer.
People say they had it easy on this fight because of the weapon they used because A maybe they main the weapon or B well there is no B. BUT Marie’s pallet and shivers pallet destroys parallel canon if you have at least 1 homing shot if you have 2 homing shots and a damage increase you can just not let them hit the ground
I like the implications throughout side order that Agent 4 is literally just Parallel Canon Not in like a meta sort of way, but like THEY ARE DEAD AND PARALLEL CANON IS WHATS LEFT OF THEM
After beating the tower the first time theres a cube on the left of the elevator If you interact with it then you get the option to do the first tower again

Your save file from Splatoon 2 determines the hair. It’s whatever you have on your Inkling. If you’re set as an Octoling or don’t have save data for Splatoon 2, I think it’s a random Inkling style.
Now it gave me a personal doubt, if you choose Agent 8 as male, does that mean that he was the only male Octoling that can become humanoid? Since, even today, all humanoid Octolings, excluding Agent 8 (only if you have chosen the male), are female 🤔
