    Splatoon is a perfect contradiction: it's so cute! And so horrible! Today, I decided to dig deep into the lore of one of Splatoon 3's biggest revelations. Big things can come in small packages.

    One last thing to mention to cement the horrid truth of the marrigold trio: almost if not all animals in the game are sea creatures or something close enough like the new shoe and hat store owners being the beach dwelling coconut crab and the extinct nautilus. However goldfish like the "staff" are ONLY fresh-water fish in their species type, they're invasive and unnatural to our little splatoonity.

    He didn't even talk about HOW Commander Tartar was making his ooze, which is by FAR one of the most horrific aspects of the Splatoon lore. By the time you get to the Deep Sea Metro, you're told you are subject 10,008, and that successful test subjects go to "The Promised Land"... all throughout the facilities is this strange blueish ink. And then the game reveals what "The Promised Land" really is.
    The whole facility is drenched in the blood of murdered thousands that came before you.

      Not only that, all the Sanitized Octarian Troopers and Octolings that you see are all reconfigured from the same sanitized ink that you see. They were all former test subjects that more-or-less became zombies made to be obstacles for the player to slow down their progress.

    One thing that I haven’t seen other people bring up that implies that Lil’ Judd is even eviler:
    So, the Log.EXE that explains Mr. Grizz’s motivations mentions that he couldn’t find even a single mammal, despite the existence of the Judds. If Grizz found out that they existed, he wouldn’t have been as lonely, and he might not have created Grizzco and attempted his crazy world transformation plot. Since Grizz had contact with Lil’ Judd, the most reasonable explanation is that Lil’ Judd intentionally prevented Grizz from discovering his or regular Judd’s identities, just so that he could later take control of Grizzco. As such, Lil’ Judd, by being a manipulative mastermind, further ruined Mr. Grizz’s life and put the entire world in danger just to pursue his petty Judd-hating inferiority complex thing.

    I don’t get how Lil’ Judd can be capable of all those things when he looks so docile, but there’s no doubt that he’s pure evil when you face him at level 3 in Tableturf. I swear he reads your mind and always has the best possible cards to smash right through your defenses and prevent you from getting special points. Lil’ Judd is too powerful!

    Samonids are also an interesting bit. Little buddy mainly helps because he has insatiable appetite due to being separated from other samoids: either that or starve to death. Some have tossed around the idea that it was separated specifically during a grizco operation/job and I'm inclined to agree. But the question is, why is it able to eat the fuzzy ooze appetite aside? I imagine it would effect him at some point.

      I don't think our Little Buddy Smallfry was around during a Grizzco op. It's said in a Sunken Scroll he got lost before he could even make it to the Spawning Grounds.
      And if you take a look at his design, Little Buddy's snout is much more rounder than an Enemy Smallfry and other Salmonids, which has a more sharper slant.
      I'd imagine Neo Agent 3 must've stumbled upon him, and they took in the little guy as a pet. Also if you go to the Squid Sisters Camp in Alterna, you can slightly hear Little Buddy sing the Calamari Inkantation. Meaning he must've heard the song at some point that he's free from being a raving fish that bonks Grizzco workers.

    • @GandalfTheTsaagan
      @GandalfTheTsaagan ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think that it could be related to the fact that salmonids are vertebrates while cephalings are molluscs.
      The wish-absorbing crystals were made from squid and cephalings and other sea creatures became humanoid because they were exposed to the man-made crystals that absorbed the dreams of the remnants of humanity, and the fuzzy ooze is made from those crystals.
      I imagine that the closer you are to cephalopods the more susceptible you are to it's effects. Although the Great Zapfish has been affected so...

    Other “clone like” characters in other series’ took a different turn than Lil’ Judd.
    Roxas and Xion from kingdom hearts. Roxas might be a sort of copy of Ventus, but him personally is different, and his memories compar3d to Ventus or Sora are his own. Xion is the same way. Despite being based around Sora’s memories of Kairi, and with a few aspects of Kairi and Sora’s personality, she made her own memories with Roxas and Axel.
    They realized they don’t have to be “just a copy” or “just a replica”
    They took their existence and instead made memories of their own, became their own person, and realized the original does not define them. Lil’ Judd might not be the same, but maybe in Splatoon 4, we might have that.

      @@franknova987 No, that is 100% not what they were implying. Splatoon 3 is just capping off the end of a generation for Splatoon. Splatoon 4+ will begin a whole new set of storylines and lore that are unrelated to the whole theme of "the remains of the past trying to conquer the new world." or something like that. That's my interpretationanyways. But they will be making more games. Otherwise they'd introduce a paid battlepass and not stop updates after two years. Splatoon 3 is the best selling game in Japan right now.

    So with what Splatoon 3’s building up to, its confirmed future story DLC will most likely center around Lil Judd as the main villain and center around his plans to take over the world. Which I’m definitely entirely eager to see. And much like the Octo Expansion gave us the option to play as Octolings, hopefully Splatoon 3 will add a new race of playable creatures called Salmonlings. Even if the chances are admittedly pretty slim, since while Octarians already had Octolings, Salmonids seem to be quite different in their behavior and physiology. But hey, we’ve already got the little Salmonid backing us up in Splatoon 3’s story mode, and much like the Calamari Inkantation frees the Octarians from Octavio’s control, it also seems to placate Salmonids and even transform them. So a gal can dream!

      Salmonids DO have their own music and bands, along with technology. So I don't think they're incredibly far off from Inkling/Octolings in intelligence. Maybe its just the specific spawning frenzies that make them go crazy.

    Marigold and her clones probably work for Lil' Judd. I'm pretty sure that Splatoon 4 will get away from Inkopolis and its surroundings. With only new characters, new stories... So the DLC has to wrap everything up. And I think it will.
    Also Splatoon 3's solo mode was really using Splatoon 1's cast a lot. Cuttlefish, Callie and Marie, Agent 3, Octavio... So maybe the DLC will use Splatoon 2's cast. Pearl and Marina who are basically already confirmed, and Agent 4 and 8.
    I'm pretty sure 8 will be there but please tell me that they won't forget about 4. The only thing we know is that, unlike most Inklings, they're very academically inclined.
    They have a lot of room for personality and development and I hope Nintendo won't just ignore their existence in this DLC.

    Yes many comments about the Staff being Goldfish, being Freshwater fish and being invasive species are right but there is also another thing. Those Goldfish are Ranchu Goldfish, Fish that only evolved through selective breeding, they are not a natural species, some even call the breeding of these Fish... well I dont know the actual english term but the literal translation from german is Torment breeding. Also, in most stories and Cartoons its always shown that Cats had it in for goldfish as a snack, so I wouldnt be surprised if Lil Judd uses the natural fear Goldsish have of cats to control them and do his bidding, if not, its lunchtime.

    It's hinted that Mr. Grizz may return in a Splatoon 3 DLC, hence why he still appears to be alive in space. He could possibly have a redemption arc like DJ Octavio, trying to take back his company and repurpose it into more of a national defense operation (to protect Splatsville from the Big Run?)
    I had my own Splatoon story in which a small group of humans returned to earth after building a ship similar to the Polaris. They built a city out of the crashed ship and decades later have a population of a few thousand. In the present day (in Splatoon), the humans send a team of two (a man and a woman, similar to Adam and Eve) to explore the area in search of new life forms. They discovered the modern Inkling society. Later on these two humans team up with the Agents to take on an enemy that threatens both worlds.
    Sadly this could never happen because Splatoon always screws humans over 😔

      A fun detail about the series so far is that each release happens in real time.
      By which I mean, however much time passes for us, that much time _also_ passes in the Splatoon world.
      So between Splatoon 1 and 2 it's 2 years later and between Splatoon 2 and 3, 5 years have passed.
      It's more noticeable in the Story modes of course, but there are more subtle things like the music that plays too.
