      Iidako are webfooted octopuses. Marina is supposedly based on one. Hime is NOT based on princess. This is a false rumor that spread to the English fanbase. Hime is also referring to a type of squid, the northern pygmy squid that is native to Japan.
      Edit: Oh my gosh don't listen to the idiot who wrote this comment. Hime is a double reference to both the squid and the Japanese term for a princess. Nothing to see here.

      @@Da-PaNtz-GuY (rant copy and pasted from another discussion)
      Pearl and Marina have several meanings behind their names. First of course is Pearl Harbor, but it's more the fact that Pearl Harbor was a significant event between the Japanese and Americans. A concept that was shown in the inkling culture of Splatoon 2, and Off the Hook, was the fusion of two cultures (namely inkling and octoling; Western and Japanese). Their name represents how these societies moved past their differences and were able to unite in harmony.
      Second, is that Pearl and Marina are actually supposed to parallel Peach and Rosalina. Peach, the pink princess on Team Mushroom, shares several traits with Pearl. In fact, Pearl's outfit in Octo Expansion even references this with a Peach inspired crown. Meanwhile Marina and Rosalina also share many similarities. Of course, Rosalina is a blue princess on Team Super Star that towers over Peach in height, but she is also an almost alien-like character who acts very foreign (like how Marina is an octoling).
      There is also a theory that they could be inspired by the names of their voice actors. The name of Pearl's voice actor, RINA Itou, resembles Marina, while the name of Marina's voice actor, Alice PERALta, resembles Pearl.
      Oh, and Pearl and Marina are simply awesome names in general for each character. Shorter names for punchier characters, longer names for diligent ones... pearls being small, precious, and associated with royalty and wealth... marine blue being a color of turquiose...
      I honestly can't stop gushing over Off the Hook's design because they are some of the best made characters and were honestly localized incredibly well. Their names alone are listed in my book of "Masterful Puns found in Localization".

      @@miumiunotofficial-babybusp4962 It's definitely possible, the similarities are very clear, but it could also just be that the VA's were chosen to look like Off the Hook instead. Remember that Pearl was originally a tall octoling before she was changed, and back then Marina was the same, so it may just be coincidence or something like that.
      Edit: Devs have confirmed that this is complete coincidence.

    In Italian, Callie and Marie are called respectively *“Stella"* (star) and *“Marina"* (same as the one from Off The Hook basically lol). Together, they form “stella marina" (starfish).
    Then, Pearl and Marina's names are respectively *“Alga"* (seaweed) and *“Nori"* (a type of seaweed you can find on sushi, onigiri, etc.). Combined, they form, obviously, “alga nori" (nori seaweed).
    And finally, Shiver, Frye and Big Man's names are respectively *“Pinnuccia"* (a mix of “Pinuccia", diminutive of “Giuseppina" + “pinna", fin, but also derivates from the mollusk Genus “Pinna"), *“Morena"* (a female given name, but also derivates from “murena", moray eel) and *“Mantaleo"* (a mix of “manta" or “manta ray" and “Leo", short for “Leonardo").

    1. Interesting dual meaning for Shiver and Frye, since they are also temperature-based, which is reflected a bit in their personalities (imo).
    2. Remember, this is a Japanese game. Why in the world the team chose Pearl and Marina is beyond me. Isn’t Pearl Harbor a source of shame/regret for the Japanese nowadays? Even if it was unintentional, how did no one pick up on it?
    3. Meanwhile, Big Man is just Big Man. No further meaning.

      Pearl and Marina have several meanings behind their names. First of course is Pearl Harbor, but it's more the fact that Pearl Harbor was a significant event between the Japanese and Americans. A concept that was shown in the inkling culture of Splatoon 2, and Off the Hook, was the fusion of two cultures (namely inkling and octoling; Western and Japanese). Their name represents how these societies moved past their differences and were able to unite in harmony.
      Second, is that Pearl and Marina are actually supposed to parallel Peach and Rosalina. Peach, the pink princess on Team Mushroom, shares several traits with Pearl. In fact, Pearl's outfit in Octo Expansion even references this with a Peach inspired crown. Meanwhile Marina and Rosalina also share many similarities. Of course, Rosalina is a blue princess on Team Super Star that towers over Peach in height, but she is also an almost alien-like character who acts very foreign (like how Marina is an octoling).
      Oh, and Pearl and Marina are simply awesome names in general for each character. Shorter names for punchier characters, longer names for diligent ones... pearls being small and precious, marine blue being a color of turquiose...
      I honestly can't stop gushing over Off the Hook's design because they are some of the best made characters and were honestly localized incredibly well. Their names alone are listed in my book of "Masterful Puns found in Localization".

      to be fair it was the english localizers that picked the bames Pearl and Marina. Their names are different in Japanese, so this isn't on them.

    • @clara4687
      @clara4687 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Keep in mind that those are the english names chosen by english ppl!
      Pearl is called „Hime“ in japanese which means princess, which was the inspiration of her design.
      Splatoon has a tendency to have the idols named differently across the world in order to better bring across the wordplay names. Another example: Big Man is called „Mantaro“ in german which is just a couple of letters short from the german word for manta ray („Mantarochen“)

    What's funny about Deep cut's spanish names is that they fit in with their personal symbolic animals:

    Megan(Shiver) + Megalodon(a type of shark)
    "Angie-la"
    Angie(Frye) + Angila(Eels)
    "Manta-Ryan"
    Ryan(Big man) + Mantaraya(Mantaray)

    (Also, kinda references Koume and Kotake (Twinrova) because they have powers of fire and ice respectively, and the “big man” might loosely references Ganondorf)
    Squid Sisters: Callie and Marie - Calamari
    Off the Hook: Pearl and Marina - …….Oh…
    (Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault anyone?)

    If you want the French names :

    - Pearl is ''Perle'', it's just the translation.
    - Marina is ''Coralie'', a first name that comes from the word “corail”, which means coral.
    - Shiver is ''Pasquale'', a first name that comes from the word ''squale'', another word used to talk about sharks (because the usual word in French for shark is ''requin'').
    - Frye is ''Angie'', a first name that comes from the word ''anguille'' which means eel.
