Happy One Year Anniversary For Splatoon 3!
do you have a discord?
You can buy the cans from Harmony, and they are called Engergy Drinks, so all we can guess is there's some splatoon magic in the can that grants you incredibly strong regen and mobility upgrades.
ohhhhhhhh, you know I thought I saw something like the cans but never really noticed but it's for sure 1885 coca cola
@@TrinityRBGreally puts the coke in coca cola
@@Juice-Makerbruh I literally thought "there's got to be liquid crack or meth in this"
Actually, that reminds me - I remember Octo tech having a lot to do with Tea Kettles. They're good places for residencies, at least, but are also related to ancient human drink containers (kettles vs soda cans here). Perhaps Splatsville tech is fancy/researched enough that kettle-related effects can be replicated in itty-bitty Tacticooler cans? That'd explain the faster respawn time a bit, since Kettles can spawn/teleport Octarians all day.
Smort scav *gives porl*
If you're going by the ability buffs for the drink flavors, Tacticooler grants 57 AP (the equivalent of 19 sub abilities) for all of the buffs except Run and Swim Speed which get 29 AP, so the gazpacho and cherry apple flavors would be in much lower concentration compared to the other five flavors. It'd be a generically fruity blend with a bit of matcha kick, which honestly sounds quite tasty.
You should make it in real life 😋
it's been a while since this guy has uploaded, splatoon wasn't the same without you bro 💯
OWEST??????
Next upload will be splatoon 3 two year anniversary smiley face (this is a joke, hopefully next upload is this month)
OWEST?!?!?
Owest!?!?!?!?
OWEST!!!?
I’ve had squid ink pasta and it’s delicious!
Definitely has a unique flavor, but the “salty ocean” description is relatively accurate.
Interesting, so it’s just ocean pasta 🤔
I think the most likely solution is that the ink tanks on the inklings back work like iv bags, and the drink gets put into the ink supply. I think assuming that ink would be similar to blood in splatoon, so the adrenaline could be diffused into their blood stream through their ink tank, and if you’ve ever had an iv you’ll know that you can taste the salt content in your breath because the transfusion in the capillaries in your lungs transfers the salt. So I think that they don’t even eat the drink, but there would still be some sort of taste to it, which might either be just salty, sugary, or dependent on ink color.
smelling salt ink iv bag goes crazy ngl really good idea
@@TrinityRBGomg I didn’t even think about that
I was thinking something like this too, like if the drink is made of ink maybe they just pour it on the ink on the ground and swim into it to absorb the effects
Maybe the boost comes from a social aspect. Kind of like bards and musical people during times of war in the past. A refreshing drink during the middle of the match by a fellow inkling/octoling giving you a morale boost, coupled with the sweetness of the sugar to give you a hype boost, and the intensified action part may be an effect from the drink giving you better focus. Some type of sugar rush without having your body be all shaky.
Huh, morale boost drink that’s interesting didn’t think of that maybe it’s all a placebo????
Fun fact: Sugar doesn’t even make you more hyper. It’s a placebo and people eating large amounts of sugar are typically kids at exiting events like a birthday party so of course they are exited.
What I thought of was pretty much similar to this
Since apparently specials are trigged by strong emotions, perhaps the cans are filled with ink and some sort of strong emotions/energy that gives the inklings(and octolings) an energy boost and all of the buffs
That makes me really curious about how the Tacticooler drinks might be advertised in game. If it's a morale booster, is there just a lot of hype around their brand name? Why do battle regulators and competing cephalopods choose Tacticooler drinks over other specials? Are there any other brands of Tacticooler drinks???
My headcanon on what’s actually in the tacticooler cans is that it’s actually a sort of jungle juice cocktail blend of all the different drinks you get from crab-n-go for the abilities that the tacticooler provides. So it’s a combination of gazpacho, cherry-apple, citrus, grape, matcha, salted melon, and whatever the hell “actionberry” is supposed to be.
Actionberry is a ACTUAL berry in the Splatoon world probably
Maybe they finally discovered the fabled blue raspberry
These videos never fail to make me question Splatoon lore
next question is gonna be crazy (it involves the octoling suffering in the porta potty)
@@TrinityRBGooooooo I know what you're talking about
NO WAY AN ACTUAL VIDEO
Ikr
hi
@@TrinityRBG hi
hi@@TrinityRBG
For that last question, I will note that not all liquids have to be water based. Since Inklings are made of ink, it would make sense that they drink it.
Knowing the personality of inklings, this thing probably has 500g of sugar and five coffees worth of caffiene.
Flavoured to the brim with every artifical fruit flavour known to squid kind.
if nintendo could get sponsored by soda companies they should make em tacticooler themed
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL, but for sure a Japan only sponsorship I smell in the near future
I'm thinking that since Inklings and Octolings are able to change their forms, get splatted, respawn and have some pretty amazing athletic abilities, their bodies would metabolise a lot. Metabolism is the sum of chemical reactions in the body so that might mean that Splatlings are able to easily ingest and 'metabolise' the Tacticooler energy drinks!
As for what it would taste like, I'd like to think it's just a highly caffeinated sugary drink, knowing that Splatlings would probably not enjoy drinking brine or cold water. When you deploy a Tacticooler, some Splatlings who consume it have a 'Refreshing!' speech bubble atop their characters, this certainly implies that they enjoy the drink. Maybe they really do like the taste of brine...
...Splatlings? If you mean Inklings + Octolings, Inkfish is a term already used in Splatoon.
@@WretchedRedoran ye, Splatling is a weapon class
I’m pretty sure I read that the text on the tacticooler when deciphered literally reads “redb” or something alike, so I imagine it would just taste like a red bull. The instant boost I would attribute to it just being a game mechanic, but if we’re looking for an in-world reason I’d suggest that the liquid once drank is absorbed into the body the same way ink can be recovered removing the whole digestive system time delay.
I never thought of the different colors having different flavors. Do you think the splatfest flavors are considered limited time only?
Trinity should absolutely make a video taste-testing the mixture of all of the drink boost flavors
The liquid thing is not that hard: in the JP version of S2, Pearl tells the viewers to hydrate by drinking water, and no, don't tell me Marina says that they can't, that's a NA thing, like the Splatfest Law, in the JP ver they don't mention anything about them not being able to drink water
dammit NA
Doesn't it just say to stay hydrated I'm pretty sure it never explicitly mentioned what to drink.
@@LiEnby In the english version Pearl only says to stay hydrated, but according to inkipedia, in jp she says "It's good to get excited over battles, but be sure to drink plenty of water!" during the Starfish Mainstage introduction, and Marina just says that it's very nice advice from her, so they can drink water, and by extend soda and energy drinks
I think it’d probably taste similar to Red Bull as it’s seemingly a reference to it based on an advertisement that players noticed on Mahi Mahi Resort where it says something along the lines of “Red Fish” and the logo looks similar to it.
Red Fish gives you wiiiiiiings~
the second theory makes tacti-cooler sound like inklings just pour every flavor of soda together in their cups at the soda fountain. on brand honestly.
The tacticooler gives quick respawn because your ghost is enegized by the drink and thus moves to the spawner drone faster
Mountain dew
true, true
I would guess in universe, quick respawn is basically how fast the little ghost squid goes? Idk, some things you just can't lore out.
For that last question, i believe that Inklings and Octolings have some sort of water-resistant insides of some kind? It doesn't make much sense considering they would dissolve on the outside but not inside, but hear me out. I saw a theory that when an Inkling/Octoling "pops", they actually just have most of their ink explode out of them making them light enough to become those little ghosts until their respawn machine refills their body with ink! Which could then make more sense as they wouldn't of actually dissolved!
Also, if i made any typos please let me know lol
i believe it tastes like pure sugar giving our little cephlochildren sugar rushes
The quick respawn may be the speed boost applied to the player also being applied to their ghost when they're splatted, making the ghost get to the respawn thingie in record time
Ngl inklings drinking taticooler is like us drinking our blood
Inklings and octolings probably have very fast metabolism. Everytime they consume food, they gain effect instantly. Probably just a video gamey explanation of mechanic, but i like it :3
Sheldon in his description for the regular Dynamo Roller mentions that everyone will be "relaxing and enjoying sweet, sugary sips from your Tacticooler, of course."
So there's DEFINITELY a lot of sugar in it.
Oh good catch didn’t see that but MAN it sure must be a LOT of it
I would like to believe it changes based on ink color, but knowing Japanese media, it's either Amrita, aka avocado, or just Ramune, likely just the classic flavor.
Sooooo, the tacticooler drink is a V8 pumped full of adrenaline. Epic
I'm saying this before finishing the video, but it's red bull, straight up Red B.
Red 40 drink
splattim at the table killed me lmao
apparently salted tomato tastes pretty good, so gazpacho flavored ink might be it, like it's tomato flavored and they use the natural salt to make it gazpacho flavored. maybe the can is made of something edible so they just eat the whole drink? and the ink lets it bypass any membranes in their body so the boosts are instant
I’m guessing it tastes like 5 hour energy mixed with McDonald’s Sprite.
this reminds me of one time where i was playing splatoon with my girlfriend, and for some reason i saw the opposing team deploy a tacticooler and thought, "i wish i could steal all of the drinks from the enemy's tacticooler." from then on, we've devised progressively worse sabotages for the tacticooler, including but not limited to tampering with the drinks inside them, and knocking the damn thing over to waste all of the drinks inside.
Glad you are finally uploading again
Glad you’re still here gamer smiley face
7:53 I love how it’s called ‘stompin grape’ and the icon looks like it’s stomping grapes. Now I can’t I see the purple ink being grapes now
I am now just realizing that wow lol nice catch
About your ink-based adrenaline shot theory:
I think Cephlings probably either have two circulatory systems, one for blood and one for ink, or share a joint circulatory system for both fluids. If the adrenaline infused ink does get absorbed into the inkstream, then it would just do the exact same thing adrenaline in our body does since adrenaline gets transported by the bloodstream, assuming that if the bloodstream and inkstream are separate that the inkstream can actually transport hormones.
If the Splatoon lab can't confirm anything are they drinking energy spiked water?!😭😭
8:57 Maybe the inkling just respawns as soon as they regain the consciousness to hold their body together, so the stimulants help that happen sooner?
Squid researchers found out we used to put coke in Coke and decided to do the same thing
😭 exactly and it would be really funny if some semblance similar to that were true
the expressions i made when u said the ink tastes like salt was like nothing i’ve ever made
A word of advice, don't make your phone notification sound the tacticooler jingle. You will check your phone every time you hear it
For the ending I imagine that they have a limit of liquid they can intake. I have a whole entire theory but that's the very VERY barebone basics
Slight hole on the absorption theory, the que to use the tacticooler specifically says “who’s thirsty?” (Or something like that), so it’s certainly a drink of some kind.
squid ink is like… tangy?? like sweet and tangy in a weird way. it’s hard to explain bc it doesn’t really taste like anything else. the aftertaste is kinda blegh but it’s really good for some dipping sauce for some seafood (:
Cooler gives you wings
No way this man finally upload a new video
DON'T FORGET TO LIKE SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE BELL ICON
I always thought that it tastes like if you went to a fast food place and you put a litte bit of every soda there because if the marigold gives buffs for different abilitys and the tacticooler should taste like all the drinks but really I'm not sure
Edit: so I finished the video and my idea was already covered
This gamer is so smart
I HAVE BEEN WAITING A YEAR FOR THIS GUY TO UPLOAD
well you gotta wait one more for the next! (this is a joke)
Honestly, stumbling across this specific video in my TH-cam feed and clicking on it for the first time was absolutely hilarious. This video was just an advanced explanation of what I had theorized early into my Splatoon (and TH-cam content creation) journey. I had always thought that the drinks were liquid adrenaline; ever since I made a video about a year ago about me trying the Dynamo Roller for the first time. This was really amusing to watch! Great video!
The tomato flavor makes me imagine the Tacticooler as if V8 made an energy drink
I cried when you played the Hero’s Hideaway theme. Very based.
Dude i was JUST watching some of your stuff again today and then you returned, wild
Glad to see you’re still here smiley face :)
You're my favorite Splatoon lore channel out there, glad to see you back!
😬👍
Asking the questions i never asked myself :D
Am here for it!!!
(Also happy ya uploaded again)
I feel like they like absorb it into theyre body because the cans are thin like theyre skin but its thin enough to go through theyre body and once it absorbs it the can melts like inklings when they touch water and inside there is just quick respawn drink swim speeed up drink etc and it tastes like if you mixed those drinks all togheter so maybe like cocacola with a lot of flavors
Finally, we're asking the real questions
This was such an awesome video! Incredible work editing everything too btw. Loved all the little animations you made throughout the video
Thank you :) I’m working to perfect it but also not make it look perfect
God damn dude, welcome back!
Funny thing about the Quick Respawn bit near the end, I was thinking that the drink gives enough energy to even affect their souls or whatever floats up from when they get taken out to make them move back to the respawner quicker. It's a bit of a stretch, but the series has shown that literal floating platforms have been made by Octarians so it could be possible.
The big issue with the theory based on the concession stand drinks is that those drinks don’t actually give those buffs - they make you more likely to roll those buffs when leveling up pieces of gear.
There is maybe a LOT more of it in the tacticooler.
THE RETURN OF THE KING
OMG IVE BEEN WONDERING FOR A WHILE!
I’ve been wondering for a YEAR we are the SAME
@@TrinityRBG definitely
For some reason,I always thought they tasted like sprite or any energy boosting drinks or gamer fuel like drinks.
Another thing to back this up is that apparently inklings get hyped up in order to activate a special.
I would just assume it to be some form of sugary caffeinated energy drink, and that the reason the effect is so much faster than real life caffeine is due to a combination of: 1, Inklimgs ate made mostly... of Ink. Since they're already mostly liquid, the caffeine of the drink would be able to circulate through their bodies much faster than a human's metabolism could; 2, it's a special weapon, equivalent in lore to the ability to transform into an immortal Kraken for 12 seconds or charge a spirit bomb to nuke anyone unfortunate enough to be in your line of sight; 3, it's a funny colorful woomy and veemo game made by Nintendo, and much like the Zelda timeline, it doesn't have to make a lick of sense.
I just clicked this video and just saw a Reeses ad about to skeletons dancing 😭
That’s awesome
Me and my friends agreed it has both Caffeine and Cocaine in it. Because the effects of coke is almost instant.
Glad you're back!
glad you're here :)
@@TrinityRBG 👍
now I'm feeling compelled to make this abomination of mixture
Also don’t forget that they may say “Refreshing!” When grabbing a drink
I figure it's an energy or sports drink, which would make a salty flavour make sense.
Ayyy first chase kip came back and you came back too!
He said something about respawn times so get this: lil’ jud and jud are organising the turf war and they control the respawn, so when you have a respawn buff they know that and respawn you faster
Is this a good therory or what?
Wow he’s alive great video!
I so happy That you are posting again🫶🏼💜💚
and I am so happy you are still here smiley face :)
Finally, the *real* questions
4:33 “Marina’s idol ink” 😂😂😂
Maybe if the enemy team tries drinking the Tacticooler it doesn't taste nice? I think it's mostly made out of ink but with a few other ingredients.
So fruity sweet 5hr energy drink
Hey, welcome back! I’ve been wondering when you were going to upload again…
Anyways, my favorite theory is that the tacticooler drink tastes like the ink color
Thanks glad you’re still here smiley face and that seems to be a common consensus, ink color attributes to flavor
I would like to think that the cyan one would taste like Hatsune Miku branded ramune
I actually have an idea for how these work. My theory goes as follows:
These are much like Energy drinks but the caffeine is replaced with a modified version of Methanphetamine. This drink produces very similar effect to Meth, the main difference being that the effects are more inmediate and the duration of these effects is far shorter. It wouldnt even be the fist time Meth is used for combat purposes, as German tank crews used Meth to be able to move day and night without stopping during the French campaign and in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa(the invasion of the Soviet Union).
THANK YOU. I knew I couldn't be the only one wondering this.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
It’s made of ultra spicy nectar fr
haven't heard of that one before, interesting fr fr
After nearly one year he is back!
And I’ll be back in another year (this is a joke I’ll be back sooner trust)
He’s back doing the question videos
I do the questions fr
9:19 maybe it does something to your soul that makes it return to the respawn machine faster? Souls canonically exist in the Splatoon series after all.
THE MAN IS BACK WOOOOOO
I JUST MADE A FRESH POT OF SODA
THE RETURN!!
And the finale. (Jk new vid soon)
TBH i always assumed the anatomy of the inkling being pure liquid ink just made their body assimilate energy drinks instantly unlike with people where it has to get digested
Bro answering the real questions😂
I'd like to think that the Tacticooler Drink tastes like Monster Energy, but more fruity (based off the ink color)
1:13 well, considering how both races seem capable of osmosis at a rapid rate, i think it's safe to say that they absorb liquids rapidly.
THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS I’M TALKING ABOUT!
My theory is that the tacticooler is coca cola mixed with cocaine cause back in 1900 the coca cola was mixed with cocaine until they had change it to make it not dangerous to drink. Coca cola has caffeine that makes inklings and octolings feel a boost and so is cocaine it gives an Inkling and octoling a speedboost. That's just a theory a game theory
I’m glad everyone can somewhat agree to this, didn’t exactly say it myself but that “substance” could be the case which would be funny
my headcanon is that they're all made of ink, and you're not actually supposed to drink 'em. like, toy pretend drinks
they make videogame-like jingles and soynd effects, and even give you a visual que when you have one in use, indicating your stats are updated. i just see it as a cute, fun thing to make turf wars seems more game-like! ^^
Firstly I think when it comes to respawn (there’s prolly a scroll I’m forgetting but I’m just winging it) I believe because ink and octolings are made out of ink and thus their dna is stored in that ink, we can think of respawns as almost printers that save their dna, and recreate their exact ink genetic makeup. Fast respawn could be that it makes their ink dna more readable and recognizable, thus produced much faster than normal.
Secondly I believe inklings and octos can drink stuff because their bodies are filled with a lot of salt, for water is attracted to and stays in areas of the most salt contents than areas with lesser salt contents, so these liquids will stay within their bodies because of the abundance of salt.
