Apologies for the choppiness throughout the video! It seems like it does that a lot whenever we go to record directs 😭 Hope ya'll enjoy though! If you're new here, Jox and I are currently doing a let's play together of Neo: The World Ends With You! And I'll definitely be doing Splatoon 3 videos in the future!
I believe that frye is based o a vampire squid! shes also based off south asian culture as well, her big forehead is a beauty standard, especially in india and it indicates wisdom! im really excited because of the music sounding like a mix of desi, japanese, and i think brazilian samba music
@@MinishMae I've been playing since the first Splatoon and I'm autistic so it's one of my hyperfixations and i couldn't have been more excited when we got that first trailer i think i was like screaming with my sister
@@kurei746 So? Octopodes aren't squids. Things don't have to be quids to have a humanoid form. Why can't there be Vamplings? EDIT: Also Cap'n Cuttlefish is a cuttlefish, which also isn't a squid, yet he's considered an Inkling.
@@MinishMae I just imagine after the proporsal Marina holding Pearl like a teddy bear and not letting her go. Even when Pearl tells her to put her down.
The floating stages are like they have in the japan festivals or what you see in brazil carnival,plus the music that goes along with it is epic!im sure there will be much more included once more players join splatsville/splatfest
@@pengil3 it’s “swim form” so as to be a more culturally appropriate and accepting of Octolings, who, out of virtue of being octopuses, do not posses a “squid form”
Looking back on all of these direct reactions before the grand festival makes me feel nostalgic. Man, I can't believe it's already been 2 years. Also, what the heck is a salmonli-
First time beating and playing Splat 2 campaigns this year, and now playing Splatoon 3's campaign and MP, I can tell they have improved and updated a lot. I can't wait to see what comes down the road.
@@MinishMae I'm just a big sucker fo rsplatoon lore and salmonlingt would be a complete slap on the face to the intricate salmonid lore and their established culture and most importantly biology. Like with how salmonids idolize death and the religious/ritualistic belief and make themselves taste to be eaten by their enemies giving back to the cycle of life. Or their trade agreement and relations with Octarians, with which they interchange power eggs in exchange for technology but NEVER golden eggs because they are so precious for them and invaluable (Which is why we are going ahead and stealing them, because they cherish them more than anything else and would never give them) They as a society would much rather wage war and get eaten by the inklings (which has been shown to be the case with the announcement of big run) that ever consider joining them.
@@jorgemtzb9359 there is a point I would say where making a "-ling" of anything else might end up complicating lore for basically no reason and also be sorta pointless, like wow. slightly funky inkling. cooool.
Just so you know, the "Frye is a vampire squid" thing is just a theory and it has no real basis other than her appearance. Some of the Splatoon bands also have weird looking inklings, they're still squids though! Assuming Frye is a different species just because she looks different from other in game inklings is a bit much, Nintendo is just trying to show more diverse looking characters
Please guys I know Frye is an inkling/vampire squid, I only got like 3 or 4 hours of sleep before we recorded this and I said it in the moment because the ears reminded me so much of the fan made salmonlings I saw in the past :,,,)
I don't think Frye's really based on anything (vampire squids aren't even squids), if you've seen the art books, and even the art for band members it's shown inklings come in all shapes, the player avatars just happen to be what you play as.
Vampire squids are still classified as cephalopods though, and it's not an unreasonable assumption to make considering every previous idol has their design based on specific species of cephalopods.
I think the idea of worldbuilding takes over some people and then they don't realize when some things might be overkill for even Splatoon when it comes to function over worldbuilding.
i love all three idols immensely, but shiver is easily my favorite! their vibes are impeccable and they give me gender envy [ edit: yea i know NoA said shiver goes by she/her. ive still got my shiver they/he/she agender headcanon because i like it, it vibes. ] [ im still waiting on nintendo japan to confirm or deny anything before saying what shiver's gender canonically is, but its not a big deal so i dont really care what pronouns they end up going by. headcanons ahoy ] [ edit a year later: head in hands. head in hands so bad. shiver is indeed canonically she/her. my headcanon remains strong in my heart, but i do acknowledge it is not canonical! alas, i can help but yearn for that potential of a canonical they/them shiver... places hand on window longingly... ]
@@MinishMae exactly!! im transmasc, and seeing trans/nb rep in the funny cephalopod game that i love so much makes me really happy!!! i cant wait to see what splat 3 has in store, and im team shiver all the way!!!
That "gender" stuff about Shiver was literally started by a troll on /v/ because the Bridget discourse- also started by a troll- started dying down. He posted a screenshot right after editting the wiki and admitted he as just trying to stir shit up. Shiver is female and if you seriously believe this obvious troll edit, your white middle class ass needs to touch some grass. Also, Nintendo gave us Birdo in the 1980s, motherfuckers.
My guess would be humanoid takes on the salmonids? To be fair Jox was half asleep when we recorded so it was more of a spur of the moment guess on her end
@@MinishMae yeah i was just thinking that if salmonids exist the way they exist now, then how can they transform? We've already been told that inklings and octolings are only weak to water because their skin is thinner from transformation, so a salmonling would be biologically impossible unless nintendo did a funny plot reverse on us
Something must’ve happened when we recorded it in OBS. It does it sometimes when we record our screen, even if it looks fine at the time of recording. Apologies for that!! 🙏

Hope ya'll enjoy though! If you're new here, Jox and I are currently doing a let's play together of Neo: The World Ends With You!
And I'll definitely be doing Splatoon 3 videos in the future!
I’m sure we all do not mind. I mean I’ve seen MUCH worse!
@@Bucketnetta I’m honestly surprised this video has gained so much traction given the choppiness of it 😭 Y’all are awesome
Og Agent 3 is now the Captain of the squidbeak splatoon
I know! It's super cool to see them again!!
@@MinishMae now I'm really looking forward to how will be the playable char in the dlc.
I'm still hoping that Agent 8 will make a return.
Looking back to these videos is so nostalgic.
Ahhh I'm glad it makes you nostalgic!!
I believe that frye is based o a vampire squid! shes also based off south asian culture as well, her big forehead is a beauty standard, especially in india and it indicates wisdom! im really excited because of the music sounding like a mix of desi, japanese, and i think brazilian samba music
I did hear that! Which is super cool honestly! Also Jox and I were super excited to hear their music had samba elements in it 😭
@@MinishMae I'm sooo excited for this game i even preordered it like as soon as preorders because available
@@Jojostxck I wasn’t all that excited for it, but I knew I was still gonna get it eventually. This direct made me preorder it immediately 🤣
@@MinishMae I've been playing since the first Splatoon and I'm autistic so it's one of my hyperfixations and i couldn't have been more excited when we got that first trailer i think i was like screaming with my sister
@@Jojostxck When Jox saw the announcement she ended up sobbing out of pure happiness!
2:11 THEY BROUGHT IT BACK!!! THE KRAKEN
THE BIG RUN!
THE BIG RUN IS REAL!
Frye is clearly an Inkling, but her basis is a Vampire Squid, which explains why she doesn't look like all of the conventional Inklings.
Vampire Squids aren't even squids
No they aren't even squids we've seen that inklings have more variations
@@kurei746 So? Octopodes aren't squids. Things don't have to be quids to have a humanoid form. Why can't there be Vamplings?
EDIT: Also Cap'n Cuttlefish is a cuttlefish, which also isn't a squid, yet he's considered an Inkling.
No she's not, stop treating a theory like it's canon
eels
You know, if Pearl doesn't propose to Marina it will be soooo disappointing.
AGREED!!! Let them get married 😭
@@MinishMae
I just imagine after the proporsal Marina holding Pearl like a teddy bear and not letting her go. Even when Pearl tells her to put her down.
@@noogieboyskullbustah7799 That’s so cute Omg 😭💕
2:11well this aged well
Hahaha the way they say about Fryes forhead is funny!😂😂😂
splatoon goes massive br
The floating stages are like they have in the japan festivals or what you see in brazil carnival,plus the music that goes along with it is epic!im sure there will be much more included once more players join splatsville/splatfest
if I had the sword I'd be like: ink breathing, 1st form, splatana whip
Ink breathing? I guess that's what squi- I mean swim form inklings do.
@@pengil3 it’s “swim form” so as to be a more culturally appropriate and accepting of Octolings, who, out of virtue of being octopuses, do not posses a “squid form”
10:58 Yeah you're right, Harmony is from the band of "Chirpy chips"
I wonder why she's here
反応が良すぎ!!
日本のゲームがここまで海外の方に愛されているのが嬉しすぎます😭
これからもスプラトゥーンで盛り上がって、そして楽しんでいきましょう!!👍
Thank you so much!!! ♥
I hope you have fun with the game too~
Looking back on all of these direct reactions before the grand festival makes me feel nostalgic. Man, I can't believe it's already been 2 years.
Also, what the heck is a salmonli-
Seeing Harmony makes me absurdly happy
PLEASE I need the rest of Chirpy Chirps now
I had never seen or heard of her until this direct, but it's super cool seeing them incorporate minor characters from the bands!
i think frye is a vampire squid, with the glowing finger/toetips and the rlly big fangs and forehead
Yeah I think that is what they’re suppose to be after seeing some tweets and ideas floating around. Though a salmonling would be super cool!
Vampire squids aren't actual squids and she is an inkling so I doubt that's the answer
@@Emisop It's still fun to theorize, whether or not we're right or wrong!! :)
See, he's called Big Man because he's a MANta ray.
This is probably the best React I've ever seen
I like that you appreciate most things instead of complaining
have a nice day
Ahhh glad to hear it!! We’re both fans of the game and liked a lot of what we saw! Thank you so much for the kind words 💕
Vinny Vinesauce has a good reaction too lol
@@normanred9212 Vinny Vinesauce always has god tier reactions for sure
Seeing older merch is giving me a very early midlife crisis.
IT’S SO WEIRD
Love how Murch changed so much yet Sheldon has barely aged a day since Splatoon ONE
First time beating and playing Splat 2 campaigns this year, and now playing Splatoon 3's campaign and MP, I can tell they have improved and updated a lot. I can't wait to see what comes down the road.
Right!! It's so good! I can't wait to see what's in store for the DLC either!
“I’m horrified actually”
“I’m so excited”
Yup, this gonna be a good video ^w^
Glad you think so!! 🙏💕
I swear there's nothing that I want more NOT to happen than salmonlings.
Why’s that?

The direct was amazing. I still can’t get over how much was revealed. I love it all. Also, Shiver will be my personal favourite
Deep Cut is fucking awesome. Big Man alone makes life worth living.
Dab will make a comeback
March really opened his eyes ate his vegetables and grew up
"Why do these girls sound the same¿"
-my mind
That's valid
Please guys I know Frye is an inkling/vampire squid, I only got like 3 or 4 hours of sleep before we recorded this and I said it in the moment because the ears reminded me so much of the fan made salmonlings I saw in the past :,,,)
I’m subscribing just because of your love of Mahi Mahi and Flounder heights. I love those and you clearly have good taste.
That was my sister haha~
But agreed, those are both amazing stages!
@@MinishMae lol oops. I’m new so I didn’t learn the voices yet. But I will! 😁
@@Noxrad No worries!! Glad to have ya around! 💕
YOU HAVE THE BEST TASTES EVER, Flounder and Mahi will always be my favorites
26:20 yes! Finally someone who agrees with me, moray towers was a god map specially in the first game
Moray Towers was great! Maybe I didn’t play enough of the previous two games to understand why it was so hated, but I always had fun on it!
Awesome reaction video. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you! Glad you liked it~
Great video! I have never played a Splatoon game but this has made me interested in trying Splatoon 3 when it comes out
Thank you!!
I honestly think Frye's just an Inkling with an overbite
Same
JEL LA FLEUR IS NOT A JELLYFISH, HE IS A PORTUGUESE MAN OF WAR. MAN O' WAR-DROBE. I JUST REALIZED THIS NOW SOMEHOW.
YO FOR REAL?? I LOVE THAT THOUGH
Who's the best idol of this game ?
Sorry Big man but I love Shiver for he's design and charism.
Shiver is so goooood
They're all fantastic, but I absolutely adore Shiver!
I don't think Frye's really based on anything (vampire squids aren't even squids), if you've seen the art books, and even the art for band members it's shown inklings come in all shapes, the player avatars just happen to be what you play as.
She did literally say she isn't supposed to be anything.
Show me the rule that says non-squids can't have humanoid forms.
Vampire squids are still classified as cephalopods though, and it's not an unreasonable assumption to make considering every previous idol has their design based on specific species of cephalopods.
Lol y’all’s reaction to this was adorable, im so excited for this game !
Lmao Mahi Mahi
I had to lower my volume lmao
Sorry about that! We just got excited haha
@@MinishMae no worries, I got equally as excited when I saw big man dancing, and the new modes
Harmony is from chirpy chips
Randomly came across this channel. Amazing reaction lol
Thank you so much
why did everyone want apartments? If I wanted to decorate a house, I'd play animal crossing.
It would’ve been a cute feature I think!
I think the idea of worldbuilding takes over some people and then they don't realize when some things might be overkill for even Splatoon when it comes to function over worldbuilding.
Splatana gives me demon slayer vibes
The choppiness is indeed painful to watch but your reactions are worth it XD
I'm hoping to have a solution for the next direct! Thank you for putting up with it AJSKFKSFH

I’ve been seeing that around Twitter as well and I think it’s super cool! We need more LGBT/NB rep in Nintendo games for sure!
