That's not the only thing providing proof for the lil Judd theory. If you fight him in table turf he only uses grizzco cards and hes the one that gives you the grizzco card sleeves after beating him!
@@theminiyosshi2901 card sleeves are the way you customize the outside of your deck. Every character (besides the jellies I think) Have some really cool Card sleeves that usually have something to do with them. Judd has his face on it, gnarly eddy has his shell, and right now I'm grinding to get Sheldon's card sleeve. Lil Judd is the only one whose card sleeve has nothing to do with him and instead has to do with an outside company that I know of, I haven't maxed out on my table turf yet. Idk if he's in charge but Lil Judd definitely has a part to play in grizzco.
Question tho: why would Lil judd want to continue salmon run or possibly bring back mammals? Lil judd already wants to get rid of Judd, the only other mammal on earth. Not to mention that it's completely useless to continue salmon run since he wouldn't get any actual salmon. He just gets the eggs.
worth mentioning that the developers have said in an interview that mr. grizz might not actually be watching when you do salmon run & all of his speech might be pre-recorded, so just because we still hear it after completing story mode doesn't necessarily mean he's still alive
That makes sense but how would Grizz know when you get more than 100 eggs? Or when you die on high to low tide or certain events like Goldie. He might not watch as you play but does look at your rollout and what you died to
@@Gring3 because in splatoon 2 there was a boat with a satellite dish (person driving the boat probably played the voice lines) and here in 3 the helicopter circles you the whole time (and there is definitely a helicopter pilot)
I would imagine that Mr Grizz made an AI to respond to the situation using either pre-recorded voice lines or what I think is more likely is that he has another program that mimics his voice and he uses it in conjunction with his AI, to give the illusion that he's actually there overseeing the workplace
If you notice, "grizz" in splatoon 3 seems more..kind than in splatoon 2 or heck, even at end of 3. He says things like "don't let me down " instead of just "get to work". He expresses gladness at you returning safely, beyond just "need workers alive to do work" . Kinda like how lil Judd would give helpful advice in splat2... heck the dude has the mike in his ear and is fuzzy with grizz fuzz, dude ain't being subtle
I wonder if he plans to figure out a way to make more fuzzy ooze and offer to give it to inklings and octolings who want to become mammals like the Fuzzy Rival Octolings in singleplayer.
Might be a more direct translation of the original Japanese, since untrustworthy employers there are super nice. Which would be a bad localization, but we'll have to wait for the original to be translated by fans to see what the devs intended
@@walkerpierce5446 that'd be interesting, like maybe he learns how to refine it and have it *not* be a mind controlling agent, and allow certain Inklings and Octolings access to this fuzzy ooze if they so choose (it seems to work just fine as regular ink, New 3 still gets splatted by Fuzzy Octolings like normal, instead of being consumed in fur like when they touch the fuzzy ooze, the only thing would be figuring out how to allow the fuzzy Inklings and Octolings to produce regular colored ink instead of this weird, multicolored stripey ink)
in tableturf battle, lil jud has salmon run themed sleeves, a salmon run themed deck and still has the headpiece, theres no way it aint him anymore, why would he have so much to do with salmon run otherwise?
We see the Grizzco statue is in Alternia after the storymode. My theory is in order to prevent any one getting suspicious, Squibeak Splatoon asked Lil Judd to manage it. Lore wise no one knows who or what Grizco is. And I think the Salmonoids have to be stopped or they may invade the land and need to be put in their place.
Nobody at Deep Cut knows who Grizz is? Why manage something that could help the enemy? It feels more like a plot hole. Honestly it's just done that way to make Salmon Run open 24/7.
After Splatoon 2 set up Splatoon 3’s antagonist so far in advance, I can’t help but think Lil Judd is going to be an antagonist soon, whether in the DLC or Splatoon 4. Maybe instead of the Great Zapfish, something will happen to Judd! I don’t know. But it’d be something new. And I’d love a final boss fight against Lil Judd, that would be hilarious and probably VERY frustrating.
I hope the story of the great zapfish always being kidnapped will come to an end. Instead it be better if the plot is, the great zapfish is captured but is actually dying but there is a new one or you have to raise a zapfish in order for it to be the next
@@christygodfrey1752 I find that theory of the dying zapfish really plausible, because after we take the zapfish back to Splatsville, Deep Cut says "Did it always look like that?", and it's once bright shining...wire thingies are now dark, as if out of energy.
In my opinion I think that little judd may have taken over the company somehow, but I don’t necessarily think that means he’s evil though it’s still possible. There’s plenty of official cannon sources in and out of the games themselves talking about how salmonids and inkling society have an ongoing back and forth conflict. Salmonids invade inkling society and destroy and kill, and inklings invade salmonid territory and do the same. We can even see this in game now with the new mode where you fight salmonids in the regular maps. There’s also the fact that power eggs are a power source, grizz only needed the golden eggs for the ooze so it very well may be that he sold the power eggs for all the company equipment, advertising, and stuff like that. For all we know golden eggs are just a much stronger power source and could be very profitable even if morally questionable. I think lil judd definitely has some strong connection to grizz co but I don’t necessarily think he’s evil, I also think that having the dlc’s campaign villain just be grizzco again would be a bit underwhelming
I agree but in my opinion, you know how post game the statue/cut out of the bear is at Alternia and is replaced. I think in order for society to not get suspicious over the industry going shut they got Lil Judd to manage it. Lore wise there's always conflict like you say so they need to be in check.
i do like the idea of lil judd taking it over just cuz he wants fish and money. But the lore does seem to be setting him up to be a little more nefarious than that...
You’re right. It wouldn’t be surprising if the dlc ends up being that the cats help you fight off messed up marigolds created by the lobby owner who tries to instill order in the city of chaos.
A theory I like is tha Salmon run is a way to get Salmonid Agression out of them so they don't invade the cities and all the eggs are just funneled back to the Salmonids.
Thing is, Salmon Run is now going on constantly, and there's even new King Salmonids, that come in rarely to finish off the Inklings and Octolings just before they can escape There's also the Big Runs, which have Salmonids invade Inkolpolis and Splatsville, so it's clear the constant Salmon Run events are making the Salmonids angrier rather than more placid and docile (makes sense, wouldn't want your whole race to be facing genocide constantly)
I believe that, because it's heavily implied (I think) that when Mr. Grizz is talking to you in salmon run, it's just pre-recorded messages, and i think that combined with the fact that the inklings and octolings don't know he's dead/floating through space is the reason we can still do salmon run.
I heard Mr Grizz is mostly not observing the workplace and uses a automatic speech program during his absence so if he did "died" his speech program will still continue on until someone else takes over which would probably be lil judd.
in the official art of splatoon 2, it says that lil judd is waiting for his chance to backstab judd, because he is mad that his entire purpose was for quote: to keep judd from getting lonely". AND in sunken scroll 23 of splatoon 3 it describes lil judd's preparations for a future assassination attempt on judd. i think lil judd is posing as mr grizz to get golden eggs and power eggs to power some device hes using for what he's doing. AND mr grizz seems nicer and more soft in his broadcast toward the crew. like after defeating cohozuna, he says things like "whoa, didn't expect an extra wave." or if you lose he says "at least you tried, but you still got a LOT of golden eggs!" so maybe DLC or splatoon 4 we will have to stop lil judd's plan and save judd.
It was implied in a developer interview that the lines given to you during Salmon Run are prerecorded lines for his employees and even after he’s been defeated, Little Judd uses those same lines. I also like to believe that this might be apart of Little Judd’s plan to take the place of normal Judd since it was said that Little Judd is jealous of the fact that he’s an inferior clone to Judd
One clever thing Grizz did was that his voice recordings all center around positive reinforcement, which is great for getting the young 'lings to keep coming back.
The lil Judd theory's interesting and probably true. But here's the thing.. Mr. Grizz (Or at least his voice) is much more kind/Lil Judd-like to you in Splatoon 3, even if you don't finish the story mode. Does this mean that Lil Judd has/had connections with Mr. Grizz before the events of Splatoon 3 story mode? It would make sense, since Mr. Grizz probably would have been most delighted when he met another mammal on Earth. Perhaps Lil Judd was his backup? Lil Judd might also be using the eggs for another purpose, perhaps trying to backstab Judd? If that were the case, I'd like to imagine Mr. Grizz wouldn't necessarily be upset about it, as he comes to accept the fact that the Earth is different at the end of hero mode. And, I mean, since he doesn't have a need for Grizzco anymore, of course he would hand it to someone he trusted, like.. A fellow mammal.
when you think about the salmonid are still bad except lil buddy he's good but if you look at the splatoon direct they said in big run they invade the city so maybe that's why it's still running
nobody is bad in the splatoon universe. they all have different living styles and cultures. the inkling society and salmonid have been at war for a long time. what you do in salmon run is just normal for these societies. it is how they interact with eachother. salmonid actually accept death as a part of the circle of life
I’ve always assumed Salmon Run was something akin to laser tag for Inklings and Octolings, and the whole “job” thing was part of the experience. Deep Cut probably figured they couldn’t just shut it down abruptly so made Lil Judd a stand-in until they figure out something more permanent
Little Judd could be running the operation and selling the eggs to the city as power. Then he uses the persona Grizz to not throw off working inklings and since it's helping the city nobody calls the company out or shuts it down.
I believe that Grizzco is some big conglomerate the company that the player works for is just one facet. I believe that Grizzco is a bigger company that has it's fingers or claws in this case in other companies in the Splatoon world. And that maybe Li'l Judd is acting as Mr.Grizz because if a big company does just up and goes out of business it would send shockwaves to the economy especially if word got out that the CEO of said corporation was out to basically cause mass genocide on a global scale. So they just have a shadow CEO in charge to keep things rolling.
About the thing about deep cut still announcing salmon run, I don't know how Canon that actually is since Nintendo can't both a) remove salmon run and b) they can't really have another character anounce salmon run as that would be odd and confusing, so my beliefe is that they did try and shut it down, and maybe they succeeded or maybe they failed, because we don't really know what happend after grizz was defeated. The reason I say maybe they succeeded is because, well maybe they canonically did succeed but we aren't seeing that come into effect quite yet or maybe nintendo are waiting for splatoon 4 or something like that to have those changes come into effect. Or maybe behind the scenes deep cut are trying to cancel grizzco. My point is we really don't know what's happening with these characters.
I dont think grizz is dead, hes just realized that this is the state of earth now and that life must go on for everyone, even if there are no mammals left
My theory, even if less than likely: after recognizing his defeat, Mr. Grizz turns over a new leaf and goes about doing his business still but not using those eggs for earth destruction. I mean if you can't beat em join em type logic? I mean it is shown he did accept defeat, and why would he change his radio of him triumphantly killing a salmon to him taking a whooping by one?
He didn't really seem to be disgusted by sea life, but rather depressed that there were no mammals like him. Maybe that's why he recruited Li'l Judd. Poor bear wanted to be with his mammal pals. He was also subjected to experiments by humans against his will.
Little jud probably is taking over salmon run because maybe dj octavio and the octolings and octarians don't have a place to stay so captain cuttlefish let them borrow some mini zapfish so now inklings need golden eggs to power up the technology of splatville
The way I see it, splatoon 1 is the last part of the inkling/octoling conflict. Splatoon 2 is Octavio and a small faction of said octolings having a last hurrah until a greater threat, Tartar, is revealed, ending the war proper, with the salmon run revealing the potential threat of the salmonids. Splatoon 3 explores the last recorded history of the humans and mammals, with Grizz so desperate to have mammal company that he unleashes his mad plan to mammalize the world. Splatoon 4 could be attempts to reclaim parts of the world that haven't recovered from the great war and super-disasters that decimated humanity. As for the mention of the Great Zapfish's looking a little fried... Perhaps even looking for a new power source to take the burden off the zapfish, or even letting it go after setting something up, giving them a chance to breed.
Grizz co. Is still needed wether or not mr. Grizz is gone. The Salmonid pose a threat to the city since that's where they're are trying to go. So Grizz co is offering a kind of protection to the city.
I hope one of the bosses in the DLC is mini judd controlling a (really) souped up octostomp and the boss title caption is "Bet you never saw me coming!"
it is suspicious but yeah I'm sure Grizz is still alive, and possibly still running Grissco...but from Space somehow? Lil Judd could be too, but we heard in the direct before release that Salmon Run is there to stop Salmons that's starting to get too close to the city yeah you kinda did the same in Splatoon 2, but, since Chaos won, it might be more chaotic this time, so if Lil Judd is the one controlling our missions this time, it probably to help, I don't think any of the Judds will be bad guys in the future However I am curious what Agent 4 and 8 is up to, they are (for now) missing just like Pearl and Marina and we do know Off the Hook is returning for the DLC, so maybe 4 and 8 is too? Remember the "Save our Salmons" post Nintendo posted a while back? what if they are trying to do exactly that, save our Salmons
My theory, Is it's taken over by a Salmonid that wants the Golden Eggs to birth a new generation of Salmonids that are living in harmony of Inklings and Octolings.
Mr. Grizz still speaking was explained in an interview with one of the Splatoon 2 directors. Those are likely prerecorded messages. And Salmon Run is a large scale business. Eggs are another source of energy and Grizzco probably provides them for other companies like weapon brands which provide Grizzco with weapons in return. Grizzco is probably just such a large and important company for the cities that they overlook the shady side for a stable provider of energy. But someone else took the boss position after Story probably (Lil' Judd).
Ok so. Question number 1: Why are we still killing salmonids? Salmonids are still a threat to Splatsville, they are naturally aggressive creatures who attack anything basically. I'd recommend looking at Rassicas for more, they got a couple lore videos on Salmon Run and stuff. Maybe more will be revealed during Big Run though. As for question number 2: Why is Mr. Grizz still there? These could easily be pre-recorded messages, he says the same things over and over again (I know, video game limitations, but it would make sense). Maybe LJ is just there to try and help stop Big Run or something. Like I said, Big Run might provide some more answers. Who knows.
Most of Mr. Grizz’s Dialogue lore wise are just recordings and not actually him talking so lil Judd could just be managing from behind the scenes, he wouldn’t even need to make new voice lines
I think it's more simple, money. Mr grizz and/or lil judd is probably continuing the business due to how profitable it is, and the inkling and octolings also profit from working there too. In short, if you can beat them, join them.
In one of the Japanese Splatoon 2 interviews, the splatoon team explained that what you hear from Mr. Grizz's radio is text to speech, not a voice. They also throw in the idea that you don't know who or if anyone is even on the other side, how it could be automated (or a robot since it's TTS but I don't think that applies since we know who he is now). They also explain that Grizzco uses the power eggs to provide power to the world and other corporations (in addition to his own use for the golden eggs) so it makes sense that it would still be around if he disappears. Salmonoids only trade with Octarians and even then, they don't trade their golden eggs so salmon run is the only way for inklings to get this source of power. He was the CEO but he likely had other Corporate employees working under him (even if they didn't know about his plan). I wouldn't be surprised if one of them included a certain fish eating mammal named lil Judd.
Interesting thig Grizz isn't quite dead, nor is he gone. Just his current predicament in credits heavily imply hes alive and well but with no way to come back on his own. So I like to add that we'll see him again eventually and a certain little clone may have something to do with it should he show up again.
Few other things of note. In an interview from Splatoon 2, it was stated that the messages might just be pre-recorded. Perhaps Mr. Grizz had Grizz Co. fully automated so he could spend all his time developing Fuzzy Ooze. Additionally, Lil' Judd uses a Salmon Run themed card sleeve and uses near exclusively Salmon Run and Salmonid cards in Table Turf Battle.
I kinda want grizz to stay alive since his story is more sympathetic because like he some of the only mamals still alive maybe him and lil judd are working on being a better business, maybe they could sponsor splatfest
I wonder if grizz knew to pass it onto little judd but I guess we won’t know until hopefully the dlc. I assume grizz is still alive as well considering the ending screen.
One (non plausible) idea I had for this topic was that O.R.C.A could do it, maybe the reason being it needs power to sustain itself? I would like to see more ORCA in the DLC at least.
Tbh I don’t see lil judd being a villain At most he’d be a side boss He prolly did take over but I don’t think he’s malicious enough for an extinction event
@@icy101yt yeah but… I don’t think he has anything against the inklings and octolings specifically to attempt anything At most he’d kill judd and create a miniature power vacuum by not taking over his role
woah this certainly is quite interesting. this whole time i imagined it as all being prerecorded messages run by the staff/marigold, and since they never met grizz in person they would probably also not have realised anything has changed, especially more likely with the multiple grizzco branches in various location.
I think salom run is still running baccause its still a big company and fish eggs are a popular power source. So probely the Power eggs by grizz co. are important for the inkling gouverment to provide power, next to the zap fishes. And i think mr. grizz gives lil gudge orders or tips to run the company from space. Why, Money? Responsibility as a big provider of jobs and energy? Or does he plan another invasion?
Here is probably why salmon run is still going: 1. The salmonids are probably still a problem excluding lil buddy And 2. The inklings and octolings probably find it fun
Grizzco also pays really well for the most part. There's a high chance of getting over 35k cash in just a few runs. So if the Squidbeak Splatoon were to shut it down immediately, it would cause a lot of ripples in the economy. We know from story mode too that there are a large amount of needy people in Splatsville that Deep Cut would feel the need to do something about it. And taking away a job provider in town without a proper plan to transfer employment could put a lot of people in a bad position, and Callie Marie and 3 would know better than to do that. I'm probably overthinking it, of course.
In splatoon 2 story mode we can see a scroll with a prophecy that says that "the salmons will emerge from the sea and will devour all creatures in land" so that makes me think that the salmons are now a regular problem for the inklings and the octolings and that they need to keep them under control, so thats why Grizzco still exists. The scroll I talk about is scroll 17. (Sorry if i made a mistake while writing, my english isnt very good) Edit: this would also explain the new Big run mode where the salmons invade the city of inkopolis.
I have a couple things to say 1 - pretty sure all of mr grizz's lines are prerecorded, I may be wrong so please correct me if so 2 - about lil judd He looks fuzzier than in splatoon 2 and is know that there's a rivalry between him and judd He did in fact take over grizzco, comproved by tableturf battle Here lil judd uses all salmon run mobs and even the grizzco card sleeves Another thing related to tableturf, lil judd's speech is rather... villan-ish "This isn't just a game, no place for the weak" so on We may interpretate his lines in multiple ways but it does sound like he cafes about the bigger picture, someone shall reign supreme 3 - extra theory, the clones I think (again not sure sorry, please double check) that lil judd is judd's clone + the last tableturf opponent is a clone jelly So what's up with these clones? Who is creating them and what purpose do they serve? We could indeed still have another mamlian problem (or something else) with the dlc if someone or something holds this power Idk Lil judd just seems very suspicious and I tried to phrase it the best I could Let's see what the dlc gives us
Man, probably the fastest Nintendo IPs to establish a complicated timeline. The first game already started it, but after only 8 years, one of the most complex timelines of Nintendo was created. Xenoblade being the only other contender, but it took 8 years to get Xenoblade 2 to establish that timeline connection. But then again, that 8 years gave birth to the origins of everything in the Xenoblade multiverse, so I’d say it probably beats Splatoon.
@@omegaSomeone No, the other Xeno games are not canon to the Xenoblade universe, nor does Monolith even own the rights to them. Square and Bandai Namco do. Xenoblade only pays homage to Xenosaga. They added Kos-Mos as a reference, and they had to get rights from Bandai Namco to even put her in the game. Also, Xenoblade is entirely owned by Nintendo since they bought out Monolith back in 2007.
I like to imagine he just has a walkie talkie that hooks up to the statue and an iPad with video footage from the chopper. He’s literally just managing in space
So hear out, a vid I watched yesterday on Salmonid lore kind of explains why we still do salmon run and I got preface this vid was made a year ago in January. In this vid it said that the Salmonid had a spartan like culture that believe in the circle of life way more then a sentient race should their whole goal is to be eaten and that they don't like their golden eggs stolen. Also neither side is entirely innocent as apparently Inklings and possibly other creature eat Salmon (shown in the mall stage apparently) and Big Run is a thing where the Salmonid attack inkopolis Side note: Once upon a time while trying to figure out what this large scale dlc for Splatoon 3 would be, one of these ideas was a dlc campaign thing known as "The lair of the bear" where Pearl and Marina were investigating Grizzco on why Big Run happens
Idk why but the sentence that Deep Cut says when u finish the story mode (like the moment where shiver said that the great zapfish looks not like it used too) look like it will be a great deal later plus Off The Hook said that he looked smaller then before when u finish the story mode
In the Splatoon direct of august 2022, it says that harmony doesn’t actually own the store, but is taking charge while the owner is gone. Maybe the owner has something to do with grizzco, or maybe they’re the villain of the DLC?
So uh another theory about grizzco after furballs death: well its a radio. what if before he went on, he made that radio, recorded himself, and then went to destroy the world🤔
Well my theory is that it's automated grizco doesn't require maintenance and they don't shut it down because of a trade deal like the samonids and the octolings
according to some lore,the power egg are that egg used for powering things.i'm not sure what the gold ones are for thew so its still a possibility that he's right about mini judge.
It just makes perfect sense that a mammal would take over the company of another mammal. Whether or not little judd is using the company for profit or evil is dependent on future stories.
the reason for mr grizz talking even after being dead is simple... we learn that in the first splatoon salmon run he isn't always around to guide his "workers" himself so he leaves recordings for them. Its likely that whoever is in charge of Grizzco now is just replaying recordings or mr grizz. Kinda like how SAW villains use Jigsaw recordings even after his character dies
I'm starting to think our Smallfry isn't an actual salmonid. Considering he has the ability to "respawn", and he matches your ink color when salmonids only have green ink. Also, Agents 4 and 8 haven't returned yet and are left unmentioned.
@@icy101ytYou're saying Mr. Grizz is gone? Is so then explain this, Some fans claim Mr. Grizz is not dead because they saw him at the end credits that if you can look closely..
In one of the sunken scrolls it mentions how sometimes a salmonid can get lost and wonder for days causing serious starvation which will result in an insatiable hunger for some reason whenever this happens the salmonids becomes passive. So salmonids are still agressive but little buddy just got lost \(._.)/
for me personally, I think that, from observations, the things said by mr. grizz after the story being beaten might be recordings that are changed to fit what is going on by little Judd. kind of like tapes on a tape recorder.
Imagine the next boss was a Grizzco fanatic inkling and can imitate his voice and can use the eggs for other uses **Realizes I can make an OC like that**
I feel like if we get a reveal on what's going on with this before the DLC, it'll be in the new Big Runs that we still don't really have a lot of info on yet.
A theory I said in another video talking about this same topic, was that Grizz used the golden eggs for power until he decided to steal and use the zap fish, we have seen COUNTLESS times that energy is scarce in this new world needing to rely on possible one giant electrical fish(we still don't know if there are more then one great zap fish in the world). We have seen that DJ Octavia steal the zap fish to help his kind have an energy source, and now that DJ Octavia is possibly on our side we have double energy consumption, now one giant zap fish needs to work extra hard to support the new population, this leads to the comment that Deep Cut said about the zap fish looking different, possibly meaning that the zap fish is losing it power. Leading to Grizz Co industry's becoming an energy supplier, but we may not know until the DLC is out but that's my theory on that topic.
i have a theory, remember how tarter also wanted to bring back humanity? and he mentions this "professer"? i think that mr Grizz is who he is talking about. it makes sense, they both want mamals to come back and they both took octarians under their control to take out the inklings.
crazy thing, remember that there is a map with the remains of the human statue that used comander tartar? well there a boat roaming around it, so imagine that litle jud is running grizzco or being a secret agent that works for mr.grizz in order to bring back tartar, imagine a story mode with tartar back and fighint along side agent 4 instead of agent 3 (new captain)
my theory , mr grizz isnt actually dead because his body was reduced and it became smaller cause of the fuzzy ink, since hes still speaking through the phone/radio he might be still alive , but he became skinnier.
well lil jud is a copy of jud and there is a total of 3 mammals griz jud and lil jud so lil jud my have been helping griz for a part of the salmon then once griz got exploded in space lil jud thoght he died and countiues to work salmen run by himself then probly griz will contact him and let him know what happened and the work toghter and lil jud gets info from battels on what the inklings and octoling weaknesses so they can turn them into mammals and this might happen in the dlc or the next storyline in Splatoon 4
i have a theory and its probably that his voicelines are now pre-recorded and each event triggers a voiceline. This could be true considering the fact that umm.. in salmon run we arent in person with him, only in campaign mode we get to.
That's not the only thing providing proof for the lil Judd theory. If you fight him in table turf he only uses grizzco cards and hes the one that gives you the grizzco card sleeves after beating him!
Card sleeve?
This needs to be pinned or something
@@theminiyosshi2901 card sleeves are the way you customize the outside of your deck. Every character (besides the jellies I think) Have some really cool Card sleeves that usually have something to do with them. Judd has his face on it, gnarly eddy has his shell, and right now I'm grinding to get Sheldon's card sleeve. Lil Judd is the only one whose card sleeve has nothing to do with him and instead has to do with an outside company that I know of, I haven't maxed out on my table turf yet. Idk if he's in charge but Lil Judd definitely has a part to play in grizzco.
@@christianrolle2548 specificly after mr grizz is defeated
you cant fight him till after story i believe
Question tho: why would Lil judd want to continue salmon run or possibly bring back mammals? Lil judd already wants to get rid of Judd, the only other mammal on earth. Not to mention that it's completely useless to continue salmon run since he wouldn't get any actual salmon. He just gets the eggs.
worth mentioning that the developers have said in an interview that mr. grizz might not actually be watching when you do salmon run & all of his speech might be pre-recorded, so just because we still hear it after completing story mode doesn't necessarily mean he's still alive
That makes sense but how would Grizz know when you get more than 100 eggs? Or when you die on high to low tide or certain events like Goldie. He might not watch as you play but does look at your rollout and what you died to
@@Gring3 because in splatoon 2 there was a boat with a satellite dish (person driving the boat probably played the voice lines) and here in 3 the helicopter circles you the whole time (and there is definitely a helicopter pilot)

He expresses gladness at you returning safely, beyond just "need workers alive to do work" .

Might be a more direct translation of the original Japanese, since untrustworthy employers there are super nice.
Which would be a bad localization, but we'll have to wait for the original to be translated by fans to see what the devs intended
plus lil judd wants to kill big judd and take his place
@@walkerpierce5446 that'd be interesting, like maybe he learns how to refine it and have it *not* be a mind controlling agent, and allow certain Inklings and Octolings access to this fuzzy ooze if they so choose (it seems to work just fine as regular ink, New 3 still gets splatted by Fuzzy Octolings like normal, instead of being consumed in fur like when they touch the fuzzy ooze, the only thing would be figuring out how to allow the fuzzy Inklings and Octolings to produce regular colored ink instead of this weird, multicolored stripey ink)
in tableturf battle, lil jud has salmon run themed sleeves, a salmon run themed deck and still has the headpiece, theres no way it aint him anymore, why would he have so much to do with salmon run otherwise?
We see the Grizzco statue is in Alternia after the storymode. My theory is in order to prevent any one getting suspicious, Squibeak Splatoon asked Lil Judd to manage it. Lore wise no one knows who or what Grizco is. And I think the Salmonoids have to be stopped or they may invade the land and need to be put in their place.
Nobody at Deep Cut knows who Grizz is? Why manage something that could help the enemy? It feels more like a plot hole. Honestly it's just done that way to make Salmon Run open 24/7.
@@Danny328DT The entyrety of the squidbeak splatoon is in secrecy from society
Could be
After Splatoon 2 set up Splatoon 3’s antagonist so far in advance, I can’t help but think Lil Judd is going to be an antagonist soon, whether in the DLC or Splatoon 4. Maybe instead of the Great Zapfish, something will happen to Judd! I don’t know. But it’d be something new. And I’d love a final boss fight against Lil Judd, that would be hilarious and probably VERY frustrating.
Li'l Judd should pilot a giant mechanical cat robot.
Lil Judd is canonically trying to kill regular Judd
I hope the story of the great zapfish always being kidnapped will come to an end. Instead it be better if the plot is, the great zapfish is captured but is actually dying but there is a new one or you have to raise a zapfish in order for it to be the next
@@christygodfrey1752 I find that theory of the dying zapfish really plausible, because after we take the zapfish back to Splatsville, Deep Cut says "Did it always look like that?", and it's once bright shining...wire thingies are now dark, as if out of energy.
In my opinion I think that little judd may have taken over the company somehow, but I don’t necessarily think that means he’s evil though it’s still possible. There’s plenty of official cannon sources in and out of the games themselves talking about how salmonids and inkling society have an ongoing back and forth conflict. Salmonids invade inkling society and destroy and kill, and inklings invade salmonid territory and do the same. We can even see this in game now with the new mode where you fight salmonids in the regular maps. There’s also the fact that power eggs are a power source, grizz only needed the golden eggs for the ooze so it very well may be that he sold the power eggs for all the company equipment, advertising, and stuff like that. For all we know golden eggs are just a much stronger power source and could be very profitable even if morally questionable. I think lil judd definitely has some strong connection to grizz co but I don’t necessarily think he’s evil, I also think that having the dlc’s campaign villain just be grizzco again would be a bit underwhelming
I agree but in my opinion, you know how post game the statue/cut out of the bear is at Alternia and is replaced. I think in order for society to not get suspicious over the industry going shut they got Lil Judd to manage it. Lore wise there's always conflict like you say so they need to be in check.
And Lil' Judd has tried on multiple occasions (and failed) to overthrow Judd.
and since gold eggs are power sources the inklings/octolings my still need them for backup power
i do like the idea of lil judd taking it over just cuz he wants fish and money. But the lore does seem to be setting him up to be a little more nefarious than that...
You’re right. It wouldn’t be surprising if the dlc ends up being that the cats help you fight off messed up marigolds created by the lobby owner who tries to instill order in the city of chaos.
A theory I like is tha Salmon run is a way to get Salmonid Agression out of them so they don't invade the cities and all the eggs are just funneled back to the Salmonids.
Thing is, Salmon Run is now going on constantly, and there's even new King Salmonids, that come in rarely to finish off the Inklings and Octolings just before they can escape
There's also the Big Runs, which have Salmonids invade Inkolpolis and Splatsville, so it's clear the constant Salmon Run events are making the Salmonids angrier rather than more placid and docile (makes sense, wouldn't want your whole race to be facing genocide constantly)
Yes, pacifying a race through genocide, I'm sure that will work out great!!
I believe that, because it's heavily implied (I think) that when Mr. Grizz is talking to you in salmon run, it's just pre-recorded messages, and i think that combined with the fact that the inklings and octolings don't know he's dead/floating through space is the reason we can still do salmon run.
I heard Mr Grizz is mostly not observing the workplace and uses a automatic speech program during his absence so if he did "died" his speech program will still continue on until someone else takes over which would probably be lil judd.
in the official art of splatoon 2, it says that lil judd is waiting for his chance to backstab judd, because he is mad that his entire purpose was for quote: to keep judd from getting lonely". AND in sunken scroll 23 of splatoon 3 it describes lil judd's preparations for a future assassination attempt on judd. i think lil judd is posing as mr grizz to get golden eggs and power eggs to power some device hes using for what he's doing. AND mr grizz seems nicer and more soft in his broadcast toward the crew. like after defeating cohozuna, he says things like "whoa, didn't expect an extra wave." or if you lose he says "at least you tried, but you still got a LOT of golden eggs!" so maybe DLC or splatoon 4 we will have to stop lil judd's plan and save judd.
It was implied in a developer interview that the lines given to you during Salmon Run are prerecorded lines for his employees and even after he’s been defeated, Little Judd uses those same lines. I also like to believe that this might be apart of Little Judd’s plan to take the place of normal Judd since it was said that Little Judd is jealous of the fact that he’s an inferior clone to Judd
One clever thing Grizz did was that his voice recordings all center around positive reinforcement, which is great for getting the young 'lings to keep coming back.
The lil Judd theory's interesting and probably true. But here's the thing.. Mr. Grizz (Or at least his voice) is much more kind/Lil Judd-like to you in Splatoon 3, even if you don't finish the story mode. Does this mean that Lil Judd has/had connections with Mr. Grizz before the events of Splatoon 3 story mode?
It would make sense, since Mr. Grizz probably would have been most delighted when he met another mammal on Earth. Perhaps Lil Judd was his backup? Lil Judd might also be using the eggs for another purpose, perhaps trying to backstab Judd? If that were the case, I'd like to imagine Mr. Grizz wouldn't necessarily be upset about it, as he comes to accept the fact that the Earth is different at the end of hero mode. And, I mean, since he doesn't have a need for Grizzco anymore, of course he would hand it to someone he trusted, like.. A fellow mammal.
when you think about the salmonid are still bad except lil buddy he's good but if you look at the splatoon direct they said in big run they invade the city so maybe that's why it's still running
nobody is bad in the splatoon universe. they all have different living styles and cultures. the inkling society and salmonid have been at war for a long time. what you do in salmon run is just normal for these societies. it is how they interact with eachother. salmonid actually accept death as a part of the circle of life
Hope dlc can tell us where lil judd was and why he isnt in lobby with normal judd
My headcannon is that its just mr. Grizz from space like nothing happened.
Mr Grizz Prerecorded lots of the things before hand I believe
I’ve always assumed Salmon Run was something akin to laser tag for Inklings and Octolings, and the whole “job” thing was part of the experience. Deep Cut probably figured they couldn’t just shut it down abruptly so made Lil Judd a stand-in until they figure out something more permanent
Little Judd could be running the operation and selling the eggs to the city as power. Then he uses the persona Grizz to not throw off working inklings and since it's helping the city nobody calls the company out or shuts it down.
I believe that Grizzco is some big conglomerate the company that the player works for is just one facet. I believe that Grizzco is a bigger company that has it's fingers or claws in this case in other companies in the Splatoon world. And that maybe Li'l Judd is acting as Mr.Grizz because if a big company does just up and goes out of business it would send shockwaves to the economy especially if word got out that the CEO of said corporation was out to basically cause mass genocide on a global scale. So they just have a shadow CEO in charge to keep things rolling.
mr grizz in salmon run is just a "machine" that gives recorded lines
About the thing about deep cut still announcing salmon run, I don't know how Canon that actually is since Nintendo can't both a) remove salmon run and b) they can't really have another character anounce salmon run as that would be odd and confusing, so my beliefe is that they did try and shut it down, and maybe they succeeded or maybe they failed, because we don't really know what happend after grizz was defeated. The reason I say maybe they succeeded is because, well maybe they canonically did succeed but we aren't seeing that come into effect quite yet or maybe nintendo are waiting for splatoon 4 or something like that to have those changes come into effect. Or maybe behind the scenes deep cut are trying to cancel grizzco. My point is we really don't know what's happening with these characters.
Well in the credits for the story mode if you stay long enough you can see Mr. Grizz not dead but stuck in space basically orbiting earth
Actually, in the credits you can see Mr Grizz floating in space, showing that hes alive
I dont think grizz is dead, hes just realized that this is the state of earth now and that life must go on for everyone, even if there are no mammals left
My theory, even if less than likely: after recognizing his defeat, Mr. Grizz turns over a new leaf and goes about doing his business still but not using those eggs for earth destruction. I mean if you can't beat em join em type logic? I mean it is shown he did accept defeat, and why would he change his radio of him triumphantly killing a salmon to him taking a whooping by one?
He didn't really seem to be disgusted by sea life, but rather depressed that there were no mammals like him. Maybe that's why he recruited Li'l Judd. Poor bear wanted to be with his mammal pals. He was also subjected to experiments by humans against his will.
@@Danny328DT he seems more of a tragic anti-hero than a true villain. I agree with you on your statement.
@@BlueCollaredK9 more like a anti-villan
Little jud probably is taking over salmon run because maybe dj octavio and the octolings and octarians don't have a place to stay so captain cuttlefish let them borrow some mini zapfish so now inklings need golden eggs to power up the technology of splatville
The way I see it, splatoon 1 is the last part of the inkling/octoling conflict. Splatoon 2 is Octavio and a small faction of said octolings having a last hurrah until a greater threat, Tartar, is revealed, ending the war proper, with the salmon run revealing the potential threat of the salmonids. Splatoon 3 explores the last recorded history of the humans and mammals, with Grizz so desperate to have mammal company that he unleashes his mad plan to mammalize the world. Splatoon 4 could be attempts to reclaim parts of the world that haven't recovered from the great war and super-disasters that decimated humanity. As for the mention of the Great Zapfish's looking a little fried... Perhaps even looking for a new power source to take the burden off the zapfish, or even letting it go after setting something up, giving them a chance to breed.
Grizz co. Is still needed wether or not mr. Grizz is gone. The Salmonid pose a threat to the city since that's where they're are trying to go. So Grizz co is offering a kind of protection to the city.
When i saw mr. Grizz plying in outer space in the credidp, i thought it was a fuzzy ooze surrounded meteor... I really need glasses
I hope one of the bosses in the DLC is mini judd controlling a (really) souped up octostomp and the boss title caption is "Bet you never saw me coming!"
And when the introduction plays, it zooms into his little black eyes.
And also, maybe Mr.Grizz just wants to sell eggs for money.
it is suspicious
but yeah I'm sure Grizz is still alive, and possibly still running Grissco...but from Space somehow?
Lil Judd could be too, but we heard in the direct before release that Salmon Run is there to stop Salmons that's starting to get too close to the city
yeah you kinda did the same in Splatoon 2, but, since Chaos won, it might be more chaotic this time, so if Lil Judd is the one controlling our missions this time, it probably to help, I don't think any of the Judds will be bad guys in the future
However I am curious what Agent 4 and 8 is up to, they are (for now) missing just like Pearl and Marina
and we do know Off the Hook is returning for the DLC, so maybe 4 and 8 is too?
Remember the "Save our Salmons" post Nintendo posted a while back? what if they are trying to do exactly that, save our Salmons
He still flys around in the creddits. So yes he is alive.
yep, I saw him flying around in space :3
My theory, Is it's taken over by a Salmonid that wants the Golden Eggs to birth a new generation of Salmonids that are living in harmony of Inklings and Octolings.
Mr. Grizz still speaking was explained in an interview with one of the Splatoon 2 directors. Those are likely prerecorded messages. And Salmon Run is a large scale business. Eggs are another source of energy and Grizzco probably provides them for other companies like weapon brands which provide Grizzco with weapons in return. Grizzco is probably just such a large and important company for the cities that they overlook the shady side for a stable provider of energy.
But someone else took the boss position after Story probably (Lil' Judd).
Ok so. Question number 1: Why are we still killing salmonids? Salmonids are still a threat to Splatsville, they are naturally aggressive creatures who attack anything basically. I'd recommend looking at Rassicas for more, they got a couple lore videos on Salmon Run and stuff. Maybe more will be revealed during Big Run though. As for question number 2: Why is Mr. Grizz still there? These could easily be pre-recorded messages, he says the same things over and over again (I know, video game limitations, but it would make sense). Maybe LJ is just there to try and help stop Big Run or something. Like I said, Big Run might provide some more answers. Who knows.
Most of Mr. Grizz’s Dialogue lore wise are just recordings and not actually him talking so lil Judd could just be managing from behind the scenes, he wouldn’t even need to make new voice lines
I think it's more simple, money. Mr grizz and/or lil judd is probably continuing the business due to how profitable it is, and the inkling and octolings also profit from working there too. In short, if you can beat them, join them.
In one of the Japanese Splatoon 2 interviews, the splatoon team explained that what you hear from Mr. Grizz's radio is text to speech, not a voice. They also throw in the idea that you don't know who or if anyone is even on the other side, how it could be automated (or a robot since it's TTS but I don't think that applies since we know who he is now).
They also explain that Grizzco uses the power eggs to provide power to the world and other corporations (in addition to his own use for the golden eggs) so it makes sense that it would still be around if he disappears. Salmonoids only trade with Octarians and even then, they don't trade their golden eggs so salmon run is the only way for inklings to get this source of power. He was the CEO but he likely had other Corporate employees working under him (even if they didn't know about his plan). I wouldn't be surprised if one of them included a certain fish eating mammal named lil Judd.
Does anyone knows why lil judd's fur is brownish now? That looked like an important detail to me
Interesting thig Grizz isn't quite dead, nor is he gone. Just his current predicament in credits heavily imply hes alive and well but with no way to come back on his own. So I like to add that we'll see him again eventually and a certain little clone may have something to do with it should he show up again.
Yes
Few other things of note. In an interview from Splatoon 2, it was stated that the messages might just be pre-recorded. Perhaps Mr. Grizz had Grizz Co. fully automated so he could spend all his time developing Fuzzy Ooze.
Additionally, Lil' Judd uses a Salmon Run themed card sleeve and uses near exclusively Salmon Run and Salmonid cards in Table Turf Battle.
I kinda want grizz to stay alive since his story is more sympathetic because like he some of the only mamals still alive maybe him and lil judd are working on being a better business, maybe they could sponsor splatfest
I wonder if grizz knew to pass it onto little judd but I guess we won’t know until hopefully the dlc. I assume grizz is still alive as well considering the ending screen.
One (non plausible) idea I had for this topic was that O.R.C.A could do it, maybe the reason being it needs power to sustain itself? I would like to see more ORCA in the DLC at least.
Tbh I don’t see lil judd being a villain
At most he’d be a side boss
He prolly did take over but I don’t think he’s malicious enough for an extinction event
You doubt the cute fur ball. The world will end with that evil cat.
I mean it’s canon he wants to kill judd lmao
@@icy101yt yeah but…
I don’t think he has anything against the inklings and octolings specifically to attempt anything
At most he’d kill judd and create a miniature power vacuum by not taking over his role
i think that the things mr grizz says in salmon run are pre recorded messages, hence why theyre always the same
woah this certainly is quite interesting. this whole time i imagined it as all being prerecorded messages run by the staff/marigold, and since they never met grizz in person they would probably also not have realised anything has changed, especially more likely with the multiple grizzco branches in various location.
i think lil judd is running salmon run and using the salmon/power eggs/golden eggs to somehow take down judd like he was always plotting
I think salom run is still running baccause its still a big company and fish eggs are a popular power source. So probely the Power eggs by grizz co. are important for the inkling gouverment to provide power, next to the zap fishes.
And i think mr. grizz gives lil gudge orders or tips to run the company from space. Why, Money? Responsibility as a big provider of jobs and energy? Or does he plan another invasion?
There is a perfect (and canon) explanation for why grizz still talks in salmon run
It’s all pre recorded
Here is probably why salmon run is still going:
1. The salmonids are probably still a problem excluding lil buddy
And 2. The inklings and octolings probably find it fun
Grizzco also pays really well for the most part. There's a high chance of getting over 35k cash in just a few runs. So if the Squidbeak Splatoon were to shut it down immediately, it would cause a lot of ripples in the economy. We know from story mode too that there are a large amount of needy people in Splatsville that Deep Cut would feel the need to do something about it. And taking away a job provider in town without a proper plan to transfer employment could put a lot of people in a bad position, and Callie Marie and 3 would know better than to do that.
I'm probably overthinking it, of course.
Also, lil Judd is theoretically jealous of Judd and is planing to kill him! Yet more proof that lil Judd will be the Main villain of Splatoon 4!
There will be no splatoon 4, the direct says that splatoon 3 is the finale of the saga
@@icy101yt that’s to bad
I was just playing the game and realized that lil Judd is on the BAD GUYS side when judging matches!
@@Gecko_Head he was like that in splatoon 2 aswell
Im pretty sure all of the salmon run mr grizz lines are pre recorded and the system is self sufficient
Lil Judd seems to be pretty sus rn. Maybe the DLC will give some more background lore context to clear up things a bit.
In splatoon 2 story mode we can see a scroll with a prophecy that says that "the salmons will emerge from the sea and will devour all creatures in land" so that makes me think that the salmons are now a regular problem for the inklings and the octolings and that they need to keep them under control, so thats why Grizzco still exists. The scroll I talk about is scroll 17.
(Sorry if i made a mistake while writing, my english isnt very good)
Edit: this would also explain the new Big run mode where the salmons invade the city of inkopolis.
I have a couple things to say
1 - pretty sure all of mr grizz's lines are prerecorded, I may be wrong so please correct me if so
2 - about lil judd
He looks fuzzier than in splatoon 2 and is know that there's a rivalry between him and judd
He did in fact take over grizzco, comproved by tableturf battle
Here lil judd uses all salmon run mobs and even the grizzco card sleeves
Another thing related to tableturf, lil judd's speech is rather... villan-ish
"This isn't just a game, no place for the weak" so on
We may interpretate his lines in multiple ways but it does sound like he cafes about the bigger picture, someone shall reign supreme
3 - extra theory, the clones
I think (again not sure sorry, please double check) that lil judd is judd's clone
+ the last tableturf opponent is a clone jelly
So what's up with these clones? Who is creating them and what purpose do they serve?
We could indeed still have another mamlian problem (or something else) with the dlc if someone or something holds this power
Idk
Lil judd just seems very suspicious and I tried to phrase it the best I could
Let's see what the dlc gives us
You are correct about pre recorded
I really hope lil Judd is just hungry and not gonna destroy the world
Man, probably the fastest Nintendo IPs to establish a complicated timeline. The first game already started it, but after only 8 years, one of the most complex timelines of Nintendo was created. Xenoblade being the only other contender, but it took 8 years to get Xenoblade 2 to establish that timeline connection. But then again, that 8 years gave birth to the origins of everything in the Xenoblade multiverse, so I’d say it probably beats Splatoon.
Xenoblade isn’t even completely Nintendo since it started on ps1 so Splatoon is definitely the fastest one to establish a complex timeline.
@@omegaSomeone No, the other Xeno games are not canon to the Xenoblade universe, nor does Monolith even own the rights to them. Square and Bandai Namco do. Xenoblade only pays homage to Xenosaga. They added Kos-Mos as a reference, and they had to get rights from Bandai Namco to even put her in the game. Also, Xenoblade is entirely owned by Nintendo since they bought out Monolith back in 2007.
little judd is always on the “bad guys” side when revealing results too
I like to imagine he just has a walkie talkie that hooks up to the statue and an iPad with video footage from the chopper. He’s literally just managing in space
I think that the mr grizz statue is actually some kind of ai mr grizz programmed by him to run salmon run whilst he creates fuzzy ooze
After story mode if you talk to the squid sisters they also wonder who runs grizz co and lil judd wants to take over judds position
So hear out, a vid I watched yesterday on Salmonid lore kind of explains why we still do salmon run and I got preface this vid was made a year ago in January. In this vid it said that the Salmonid had a spartan like culture that believe in the circle of life way more then a sentient race should their whole goal is to be eaten and that they don't like their golden eggs stolen. Also neither side is entirely innocent as apparently Inklings and possibly other creature eat Salmon (shown in the mall stage apparently) and Big Run is a thing where the Salmonid attack inkopolis
Side note: Once upon a time while trying to figure out what this large scale dlc for Splatoon 3 would be, one of these ideas was a dlc campaign thing known as "The lair of the bear" where Pearl and Marina were investigating Grizzco on why Big Run happens
Idk why but the sentence that Deep Cut says when u finish the story mode (like the moment where shiver said that the great zapfish looks not like it used too) look like it will be a great deal later plus Off The Hook said that he looked smaller then before when u finish the story mode
With Lil Judd after the story mode, it does make sense now
I think lil Jude is running salmon run but not going to be a villain
In the Splatoon direct of august 2022, it says that harmony doesn’t actually own the store, but is taking charge while the owner is gone. Maybe the owner has something to do with grizzco, or maybe they’re the villain of the DLC?
The owner of Hotlantis DOES sound suspicious when he wrote "I need to stock up on...stock." Maybe that stock has something to do with Golden Eggs...
No one's touching on the lore on melody and the missing shop owner
So uh another theory about grizzco after furballs death: well its a radio. what if before he went on, he made that radio, recorded himself, and then went to destroy the world🤔
Worst part about this video is the fact that there is no spoiler warning and stuff
Well my theory is that it's automated grizco doesn't require maintenance and they don't shut it down because of a trade deal like the samonids and the octolings
according to some lore,the power egg are that egg used for powering things.i'm not sure what the gold ones are for thew so its still a possibility that he's right about mini judge.
It just makes perfect sense that a mammal would take over the company of another mammal. Whether or not little judd is using the company for profit or evil is dependent on future stories.
the reason for mr grizz talking even after being dead is simple... we learn that in the first splatoon salmon run he isn't always around to guide his "workers" himself so he leaves recordings for them. Its likely that whoever is in charge of Grizzco now is just replaying recordings or mr grizz.
Kinda like how SAW villains use Jigsaw recordings even after his character dies
Ok I'm gonna say it. When Mr. Grizz is about to explode, he looks like a crunchy cheeto
I've never realized how CUTE lil judd is when he falls over
I'm starting to think our Smallfry isn't an actual salmonid. Considering he has the ability to "respawn", and he matches your ink color when salmonids only have green ink. Also, Agents 4 and 8 haven't returned yet and are left unmentioned.
Maybe Mr. Grizz instead of killing off all inklings and octolings he wants to bring back some mammals but not kill everyone
If there's an explanation for questions that been asked how did Mr. Grizz survived from rocket explosion?
He didn’t :) it was confirmed in a QnA with developers that grizz in salmon run is all pre recorded voice lines
@@icy101ytYou're saying Mr. Grizz is gone? Is so then explain this, Some fans claim Mr. Grizz is not dead because they saw him at the end credits that if you can look closely..
@@wintercj he doesn’t move in the credits though and his eyes are blacked out
Me finishes story mode
Ok now time to play salmon run and contribute to world destruction
Lil Judd has been not-so-secretly plotting to kill Judd out of jealousy of being a clone of him so I can see lil Judd being a villain
When you realize he is on team fun😤
In one of the sunken scrolls it mentions how sometimes a salmonid can get lost and wonder for days causing serious starvation which will result in an insatiable hunger for some reason whenever this happens the salmonids becomes passive. So salmonids are still agressive but little buddy just got lost \(._.)/
for me personally, I think that, from observations, the things said by mr. grizz after the story being beaten might be recordings that are changed to fit what is going on by little Judd. kind of like tapes on a tape recorder.
Imagine the next boss was a Grizzco fanatic inkling and can imitate his voice and can use the eggs for other uses
**Realizes I can make an OC like that**
shoutouts for providing spoilers in the thumbnail/title not like I wanted a shock anyhow
I feel like if we get a reveal on what's going on with this before the DLC, it'll be in the new Big Runs that we still don't really have a lot of info on yet.
A theory I said in another video talking about this same topic, was that Grizz used the golden eggs for power until he decided to steal and use the zap fish, we have seen COUNTLESS times that energy is scarce in this new world needing to rely on possible one giant electrical fish(we still don't know if there are more then one great zap fish in the world). We have seen that DJ Octavia steal the zap fish to help his kind have an energy source, and now that DJ Octavia is possibly on our side we have double energy consumption, now one giant zap fish needs to work extra hard to support the new population, this leads to the comment that Deep Cut said about the zap fish looking different, possibly meaning that the zap fish is losing it power. Leading to Grizz Co industry's becoming an energy supplier, but we may not know until the DLC is out but that's my theory on that topic.
i have a theory, remember how tarter also wanted to bring back humanity? and he mentions this "professer"? i think that mr Grizz is who he is talking about. it makes sense, they both want mamals to come back and they both took octarians under their control to take out the inklings.
I think lil Judd noticed that inklings and octolings like salmon run, so he took over the company so that they could enjoy themselves.
crazy thing, remember that there is a map with the remains of the human statue that used comander tartar? well there a boat roaming around it, so imagine that litle jud is running grizzco or being a secret agent that works for mr.grizz in order to bring back tartar,
imagine a story mode with tartar back and fighint along side agent 4 instead of agent 3 (new captain)
The biggest question is where did Mr. Grizz came from? If Mr. Grizz is a bear and the only mammals in the game are the cats.
that hair you use for your character feels like the tentacle translation of a Nathan Drake hairdo
my theory , mr grizz isnt actually dead because his body was reduced and it became smaller cause of the fuzzy ink, since hes still speaking through the phone/radio he might be still alive , but he became skinnier.
well lil jud is a copy of jud and there is a total of 3 mammals griz jud and lil jud so lil jud my have been helping griz for a part of the salmon then once griz got exploded in space lil jud thoght he died and countiues to work salmen run by himself then probly griz will contact him and let him know what happened and the work toghter and lil jud gets info from battels on what the inklings and octoling weaknesses so they can turn them into mammals and this might happen in the dlc or the next storyline in Splatoon 4
Mr grizz isn't dead, during the end credits you see him floating around in space still
My theory is that all the salmon run modes are in the past
as soon as i saw the sunken scrolls for lil' judd i was convinced he'd be the villain of the dlc.
i have a theory and its probably that his voicelines are now pre-recorded and each event triggers a voiceline. This could be true considering the fact that umm.. in salmon run we arent in person with him, only in campaign mode we get to.
