I always thought it was "Marina" as in "Mariana Trench", and "Pearl" for the pearls found in the clams and other pearl-producing mollusks that live in trenches, Mariana Trench included
Pearl's japanese name is Hime, which just means "princess" and Marina's japanese name is Iida, which is a pun on Idako (a species of octopus) so theres that lol
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.
@@cassiopeia_mori I would totally agree, but a very adamant Japanese fan told me that the princess thing wasn't true. I'd say it's up in the air until I can get some more opinions from Japanese players. Edit: Don't listen to this idiot either.
Also! Shiver and Frye's names are references to a hot & cold dynamic, which is why Shiver always says she's cold-blooded. Big Man's name is also a pun on man-ta rays.
Shiver is actually cold blooded as are all cephalopods! But yes, it is a hot and cold dynamic that also manages to tie into their character and I think that it’s hilarious
They made there names not to match on purpose as they are both extremely different (personality wise)and together they showed that anyone can reunite even if your a octoling or a squid-
@@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 Spanish Shiver is called "Megan" as "Megalodon" a huge mythical shark and Frye is called "Angie" Wich sounds a lot like "Anguila" Wich means Eel, and Big man is named "Rayan" as "Mantarraya" Wich means "Manta ray"
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").
Doesn't have much to do with what you said but "Morena" is also a type of eel in Spanish, we literally call them that and in her boss fight she specifically says she's calling her "morenas"(the eels) to help her fight
In Dutch instead of Ida, Marina's last name is "Ten Takel", ten translating to of/from and takel pretty much meaning tow/hook, seperately the meaning could make "of the hook" but together they literally make Tentakel, or "Tentacle".
In spanish, ita funny cause pearl and marina are called perla and marina. Perla marina literally meaning underwater pearl. Shiver is called megan while frye is called angie. Big man is called rayan. The callie and marie are called mar & tina. Which together forms "martina" an actual name that people call their children. Also mar means sea and tina is close to tinta which means ink. So maybe its sea ink
That's actually pretty cool! In Italy they fucked up the names since the first game because they called Callie & Marie respectively Stella and MARINA (starfish). But then Splatoon 2 came out and the english names were Pearl and Marina, but there was already a Marina in Italy. So they had to change their names completely, Pearl and Marina became Alga and Nori (seaweed for sushi)
around about 5 years ago, i remember popping open my new splatoon 2 copy excited to play it. i thought the excitement and buzz would never disappear. five years later i’m sobbing my eyes out over the nostalgia and memories. thank you, splatoon 2
The funny dark idol names are iconic sometimes me and my friend named our idol ocs Skipper and Sirene, like how a Sirens song leads a skipper to their death🧘♀️
I think it's worth mentioning the comparison of Off the Hook's voice actor names to their roles! Pearl's voice: (ma)Rina Itou Marina's voice: Alice Peralta (reasonably close to the word Pearl)
This only works with their English translation names however, since marina’s japanese name “ida” and pearls japanese name “hime” aren’t close to the va’s name at all (Perhaps the english translation for their names was based of the va’s though)
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.

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-lodon" Megan(Shiver) + Megalodon(a type of shark) "Angie-la" Angie(Frye) + Angila(Eels) "Manta-Ryan" Ryan(Big man) + Mantaraya(Mantaray)
Because of that, I kind of like their Spanish names better, as the pun is clearer and it’s also kind of cute and suits the goofy and mischievous, but friendly charm they carry.
in italian Pearl and Marina are named “Alga” and “Nori” as Nori being a type of seaweed, “Alga” literally translates to “seaweed”. so yeah nori seaweed lol
Even I knew that. Deep Cut: Frye (Fire; group of eels), Shiver (Ice; group of sharks), Big Man (a Big Manta Ray) (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?) (Also, someone here mentioned the loose references to Peach and Rosalina because of height, color, and Splatfest teams)
in italian Callie and Marie are called Stella and Marina and togheter form starfish in italian, Pearl and Marina are called Alga and Nori and togheter form Seaweed Nori, a type of Seaweed used for sushi in Italian
To be fair, Callie and Marie are cousins, and Shiver and Frye seem more like chaotic best friends than lovers, and you already know about Big Man. Now if you wanna talk about the Salmanoid idols omega-3, one of them is like 50, the other is in their late 20s, and the last one is 19.
@@vincentprigge I think Deep Cut have more of a sibling figure dynamic. Shiver is like the cool big sis, Frye is like an energetic, excitable little sister, who also has a tough and sassy side and Big Man, despite his name is like the little brother or baby brother, as he’s the second goofiest member, next to Frye
@Lala The Teletubby there was a relationship chart revealed in Japan that showed the relationship of all the characters in Splatoon 1 and 2, and for Pearl and Marina, it described Marina as a "Maiden in love"
If you want the French names : - Callie is ''Ayo'' and Marie is ''Oly'', their names come from a japanese dish ''Ayoly'', a dish prepared with squid. - 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. And sorry if my english has some mistakes !

Idk why, but I immediately started laughing when Pearl's reason didn't appear, I swear, she is my second favorite
Pearl like a pearl in a clam!
Thats a quite EXPLOSIVE joke
Did you know that if you put Kat and Ana from Wario Ware together, you get Katana?
Ah Yes.
War Update.
AS SOON AS I SAW HARBOR I KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN THE WORST PART IS I DIDNT EVEN THINK THAT PEARL WOULD BE IN IT
*smile fades away slowly*
Fun fact: In splatoon 2 octavio battle, callie goes "Wait, i just realised me and maries names... nevermind" hinting she ONLY just noticed
and then there's big man. what's the opposite of that?
_little boy._
TH-cam just recommended this to me today and all things aside this is the most adorable Splatoon thing I've ever seen
Some sharks and eels and some calimari.. but.. then, there's.. *Japanese Zero emerges from the fog*
I heard a plane overhead after I got to marina and pearls bro-
XD the pearl joke got me
It is dark but luckily i swing that way
If you want the French names :
- Callie is ''Ayo'' and Marie is ''Oly'', their names come from a japanese dish ''Ayoly'', a dish prepared with squid.
- 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.
And sorry if my english has some mistakes !
NOT THE EXPLOSION LMAO
Big man, Randy😂
Nintendo knew what they were doing while making splatoon two 😂
I didn't expect a twist like that 💀
