Marios height: i sleep
Inkings height: *REAL STUFF*
SCIENCE
Not gonna lie he's spittin straight facts
5 feet
Luigi: i’m taller
I’m shorter
My theory: Just like real squids and octopuses, they can squish and squeeze through small areas
They dont change size they just dont have bones and are really flexible.
I agree with this but one thing bugs me off and I'm sorry I have to point this out
*octopi*
I mean octopuses is also grammatically correct and reasonable but I just like saying octopi
Genesiz yeah that makes sense
OH. MY. GOD. *Mind Blown*
@@emeralddj5590 i thought they didn't have bones *:P*
If we assume that the Bloblobber is the size of a real bathtub, an inkling is 20 feet tall
i believe that inklings are 5 feet tall (or more) because in one of the sunken scrolls you can see the evolutionary journey of inklings and how much bigger they are than actual squids
But don’t forget, this is THOUSANDS of years in the future and maybe the size of squids changed. The zap fish is made up, it’s not a real fish. It’s probably not a lightning version of a thousand-year-old catfish. The giant food is probably growth rayed or fake. The floating game boys are clearly replicas. The average inkling is 1 1/2 2 feet tall.
Also, Trinity earlier in the video stated that Marina is 5 FEET AND 10 INCHES TALL. So if she is that tall, I’m sure some inklings/octolings may actually be able to grow taller than that too.
Welllll during Octo expansion, marina tries to track ur location to see where you are in the deep sea metro the first time cuddlefish turns on the walkie-talkie. She also said the coordinates are so weird that it you could be in a different dimension for all we know. So maybe the snes and game boy were massive in specific dimensions?
and!!! to add to your theory, the text is in inklish/octarian!!

What about the giant Amiibo box in Inkopolis Square
@@DE23 It's probably either a replica or not relevant to the lore,just a cute way to introduce amiibos into the main hub

Well if this helps, there are birds in game that seem to imply that the inklings are five feet and also the trees

* Sad Woomy noises *
There’s one thing that I haven’t heard from anyone yet: Inklings HAVE to be small because of basic physics. Because weight scales with the cube of length, a human-sized creature with no bones wouldn’t be able to stand up. It’s the same reason why ants are able to carry eight times their weight, but nothing big even comes close to that strength. Coupled with the fact that inklings can hold comparatively giant things like the ultra stamp, they would have to be pretty tiny.
finally someone say's it thank you!!!!!
Maybe they have a cartilage structure instead of bones? Cartilage doesn't show up on X-Ray
If you wanna talk basic physics, then let's go over electronics. Their minimum size is limited. Capacitors can only get so small, we're already approaching atomic scale here. Inklings can't be too small, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to have all this modern portable technology they've been confirmed to have.
I mean, this theory can be debunked after you realize there are normal sized things such as birds, trees, esc. Did they shrink down too? If so then that would open a whole other can of worms.
Plus if their insides are pressurized enough wouldn’t this be irrelevant?
About the hair: You shouldn't measure it. Their hitbox doesn't include the hair. You get no disadvantage by choosing to play as the Octoling with an afro
Also they can cut it.
Considering the fact that we measure real life squids WITH their tentacles, I'd say it's fair to count it here or just take two separate measurements; with and without.
The mighty power of maths.
sadly i didn't do much math only speculation oof
Oof
I was the 100th like
I think that the food things in Salmon Run are purposefully made to be huge, from what I recall they are statues made by the salmonids.
Remember, salmonids are almost the size of inklings, so inklings being tiny wouldn't make sense considering the size of salmon
In the Octo expansion, in one of chat logs (I think the 2nd), Marina states that due to the strong magnetic field around the metro it's practically "another dimension." She also says this magnetic field is enough to "warp spacetime." We already know the Octarians have access to extremely complicated and almost magical seeming sciences, so my theory is the reason so many things seem so huge is do to reality warping. The giant food in salmon run? Radioactivity like you said. Shellendorf Institute? There are humans that are that are 6+ feet tall and the Great Zapfish is likely and electric catfish enlarged by radioactivity. The weapons? Sheldon and his family clearly talent in weapon making, so I don't really see how it really plays into this. I'm sorry this comment was so lengthy but I hope you read the whole thing.
Edit: The deep sea metro accommodates for the larger passengers and employees you see, Judd's size changing is artistic interpretation, and NILS Statue is seemingly a modified Statue of Liberty.
“THEY R 5 FEET TALL”
-Everybody who can’t think of a good comment and wants Red to reply “But here me out”

I’m gonna say it’s 5 feet because even with the large amount of evidence that states otherwise, canon lore and an official interview all but confirms it. The rest is just observation that does not yield a singular answer.

You missed the fact that the inklings being able to jump 5 feet could be referring to super jumping. That alone COULD change a lot of theories!!
To be fair, in the Octo Expansion, those items are also FLOATING, in midair, along with everything else in the test chambers! Something tells me physics gets screwy in the Deep Sea Metro. And octarian underground domes too. Maybe the nuclear war messed with the physics of the Splatoon universe?
f l o a t
Or likely something related to more advanced human technology, which manipulates the very fabric of space time within local scale, malfunctioned *centuries* prior to events of Splatoon, and things kept getting weirder ever since.

Pen
i always just assumed they were a couple centimetres tall, and when they put feet into their heights, i just assumed it was relative size
Inklings and Octoling slowly became different sizes over the ages adapting to the very little land and on one year they were 1-2 feet tall then suddenly every inkling was growing to 4-5 feet tall
Inklings: I have no definite canon height
Mario: hold my mushroom
Mario does actually have a canon height, which MatPat begrudgingly accepted.

Honestly while the average height is 150 cm, the inklings seen her are pretty much teenagers. From behavior to looks to lore stating that they gain the ability to turn humanoid at ~14. And then there Cuttlefish, who while you always are about the same height as, is BENT *90 DEGREES* . Meaning that before he was too old to stand straight he was probably taller than the player.
Imagine if Nintendo gives us a height selector in Splatoon 3. That would be so cool!
smol inklings everywhere o_o
People would shrink to make themselves harder to hit.
No. Just no. Imagine trying to hit a small player with pure run speed up. Smallest size doesn’t even have to be much smaller than the default size to be a difficult target
This man just spent 16 minutes (probably a few hours editing) researching, measuring, and simplifying to find the height of non-existent in-game squid kids (and octolings).
Someone give this man a medal.

Maybe everything is purposely ment to be inconsistent in size.
In an earlier part of the video you made a theory about radiation and melting the ice caps and whatnot.
Whst if the great zapfish is a long electric catfish that grew to enormous sizes due to radiation? The objects in octo exp. Could be huge because you're in a weird alternate dimension, and marina even backed this up... somewhere in octo exp..
Or this could be game design not wanting to be observable
In chernobyl there are cat fishes and the didn't grow much
@@felix3772 good point but to be fair this. this is a game about kids who are also squids and they can change this form at will, so an extra-big fish doesnt seem so ridiculous
@@felix3772 To be fair, pripyat has very low radioactive levels nowadays due to us sealing it all in and it just diffusing into surrounding areas, also, it's only been like 40 years since then which isn't a lot of time for any animals to get any substantial mutations
thay was just made bigger for the fans if you play on the map and you see the human skeleto if thay would have made the stuff smaller you would not see it so the items on maps are just for us as a visible reminder or old consols or musuem stuff for the skelleton so its just decor
7:10 Technically they could've been made by Tar Tar since he was created when the humans were still around, and could've contained knowledge about things the humans used and created replicas of them
14:41 Damn that made me feel old
normally, i would think squids are 1-2 feet, because of the human skeleton we saw compared to the inkling. but what if the human skull was just built with materials, and it's not actually a human skull? or what if Nintendo just made the model bigger so you could see it from the map?
if you play as inkling or octo in gerrys mod and play on real life house sizes you see that thay can not even reach a small wall or funiture so inkling are probly about 3 or 4 feet tall at best
Okay, I'll put down my two cents.
The whole "Inklings (and Octolings) are around 5 feet" might just be them being scaled up for Smash. However, I did notice from OmarIsForReal that an Inkling is not much bigger than a Gameboy (for reference, I'm only going by what's in the museum and not in the Octo Expansion).
That isn't a very accurate reference, since ya got normal sized objects such as a human looking telephone booth, normal sized trees, esc. Plus you are hinted to be in some weird dimension, messing with the fabric of reality
@@sabsyoutube241 Yo, I actually forgot I commented this. Looking back, this feels like a comment that I should've just... Not done. I was probably just on a hype or something
Holding an N-Zap in person despite having somewhat larger hands it’s more or less the same grip they have. Unless Sheldon made his own downscaled version of the N-Zap I believe it’s safe to assume inklings are roughly the same height as a human kid maybe a bit smaller. As for why the human skeleton is much larger it might only because they purposely enlarged the model so you’d actually be able to see it from the stage and is not made to scale (similar to how the jellyfish in the background of stages are larger than what they are in the plaza.)
The argument about Judd and the Zapfish could also be countered by the fact that they aren’t just normal versions of those animals. Considering The great zapfish can fly around and power entire civilizations it’s entirely possible that it is not comparable to the real life counterparts.
I always have to think about the "Inklings can leap 5 ft"
What if they meant the Super Jump- you know, the jump in battle, where they leap into the air really really high to jump to a teammate or beacon...
Either way I think 5 ft is the most consistent of the bunch. It even has a developer guess on its side. And an official artbook. And then some proof.
Even though it'd be more realistic for them to be at around 1-2 ft.
I've always thought that the inkling kids/teens we play as are a lot smaller than adult inklings. Like adults are around 5 feet and kids are around 3 or so feet. This kinda makes sense why they grow so much like that cuz they start out as a little tiny baby squid and grow into a fully developed humanoid inkling in just 14 years. Maybe even less.
Another theory I've seen is that as they get older they become more and more human like, growing a slightly stiffer skeletal structure maybe, slightly losing the ability to go into squid form etc. Why else would the squidbeak splatoon look for kids to fight octarians? Because adults wouldn't be able to fight in the ink as effectively as kids. Idk if I really agree with that one tho.
I do think inklings get taller as they grow up tho
Edit: more evidence as to why they may grow to about 5 feet is that the shop doors in the square are huge for the inklings, like they're designed for something way bigger. Like adult inklings too.
They could he designed for the diverse amount of sea creatures as well I suppose, but still. I doubt very many sea creatures would reach 5 or so feet tall
What? The average height for a 14 year old is 5'4
@@vile8675 for a *human* 14 year old
"growing a slightly stiffer skeletal structure maybe" They got no bones
@@dugoo3405 you can have a sort of skeletal structure without bones. Squids and cuttles of today have rigid structures in their bodies from when they were shell wearing mollusks in ancient times. Its what keeps them stiff and in a constant torpedo shape. So they may have evolved that into a rudimentary skeletal structure
@@neru8104 mm very interested, thank you for teaching me some squid history bro
Ever consider that 5 feet maybe 5 inkling feet?
Alright, not sure if you’ll come back to this video (probably not), but the doors in Alterna would likely be human-sized. The average door is 8-feet and the average human is around 5.9. Based on the doors in Cryogenic Hopetown humans are around 1 2/3 inklings tall.
Or maybe Alterna has special doors.
My theory: So in Salmon run, the chums are just regular sized shrimps, the cohocks are oversized shrimps, and the shrimpies (small shrimps) are just baby shrimp. SOOOO, we are about a little larger than a regular shrimp, which is about Pearls size because because of a line in the end of the news from Marina “Maybe they mistake you for a chum.” SO WE
ARE 5FT. This is just my theory, not a fact,
They’re not shrimps, they’re salmon
Okay so here is my theory, feel free to disagree because it’s really dumb.
The giant gamecube from the deapsee metro could be attempts from octolings to build weapons out of them thinking that indeed that was their purpose but failed badly and just put them there, the blender from Tartar could have this explanation as well but in this case he succeeded because in the pearl fight he used a bunch of them to fire the laser. That would explain why they are so big.
Also the comparison from the megalodon and the inkling could be right, some measurements they took about it, the great zapfish could be just a new specie formed by the radiation like the food from salmon run.
In the museum I think that the developers just didn’t tried to put the inklings down there so they modeled it as big as they could so you could see it from the distance.
The big ass door from the octo expansion... I don’t know about you but those doors can be really big so I won’t take it so seriously.
So, in summary I think they are 5 feet tall.
Those big doors could be for the other species living there. Inklings and Octolings aren’t the only race there.
Also, I was thinking the same thing for the skeleton. It wasn’t meant to be reallllly close to an Inkling/Octoling
Theory for your building theory:
In splatoon, sunken scroll 26 had a human skeleton with various gaming objects. The inkling and octolings probably got the idea from that. The octolings are very intelligent when it comes to technology (hypnoshades, bosses, octotroopers bottom half, etc)

wiat!!! you forgot to account for the fact that in the sunken scroll where they say that the highest they can jump is 5 feet, they may have meant that their highest just is that of a SUPER jump!
alright let's disprove the whole "inklings are 2 inches tall" theory with one word: Judd. In case you didn't know Judd is a house cat from the human ages that was put in a time capsule or whatever and the inklings found him and worshiped him. If the inklings were really small then in Splatoon Judd would be massive but he isn't. He's about the size that a regular cat is. so inklings are the size of humans.
There the Eiffel Tower in Splatoon 3 trailer which means that by judging Inklings would be two big to be 1inch compared to the tower. Which means their high jump couldn't be five feet by them being too big.
I think the 5 foot one is the most logical at this point.
THEY R 5 FEET- actually, I have no idea now
hey would you look at that

Yea......I'm just gonna leave now.....
XD
Matpat: finding Mario’s hight is hard.
Trinity: you don’t even know about *inklings*.
I like 1 - 2 feet. It seems the most logical as they are seen evolving from squids in one of the scrolls.
True cuz the average height of a squid is 60cm. It's they DID grow bigger in the scroll and could've grown to 150cm
sunken scroll 11
There's artwork of their growth cycle and they start out as normal squids before seeming about human sized.
Simplified: The evidence in game is inconsistent to be able to deduce the height of Inklings/Octolings.
In all honesty, I don't have an issue with them being as tall as humans due to evolution. I will say though their body proportions would be a bit odd for their height though.
there are just 3-4 feet tall besides we should not forget if thay reach age 14 thay are humans so thay are just 14 years old how big are kids in this age ?
@@sabrina2368 5'4 to 6 ft i think
According to some of the scrolls, they'd have the same body proportions as humans
To be honest, Inklings and Octolings may have the same height as the average human.
Think about it, Inklings literally evolved to become humans with squid features, and the same goes for Octolings, and Nintendo isn't really well-known when it comes to things such as consistency or logic. Take Mario without a belly button, or Link without nipples as examples.
I prefer to believe that Inklings and Humans are mostly the same in almost every possible thing. I say "almost" because there's unique traits to each one of them. We can't turn into a cute squid, can we?
Well, that's my opinion. I don't really have much else to say, except Inklings are pretty much humans with cute masks, pointy ears and tentacle hair. And they are, because, why wouldn't they be.
It's Nintendo, after all. The same company that makes Mario look like a midget close to real people.
I know this is 3 years old but in Splatoon 3 there's a chair in Grizzco that is about the size of the player character so that might help💀
I feel like the shelendorf institute’s human skeleton is the most solid proof. Who’s with me?
Peter Cook yeah I think the whole nes console size comparison is bull
Nah man, i think that’s just big so you could see it from above, I just think they were lazy enough to scale it perfectly
if you look at the footage you might notice that the jellyfish are larger than normal. comparing jellyfish in the lobby with inklings and using a site to compare height to get a estimated height. I think inklings are about 4 feet tall. but because of how they can turn into a second form that's made of ether only or mostly ink I think they would be able to change size at will.
Honey Musty Yeah right?
I don't think out of bounds evidence counts. Have you compared the size of an inkling to the out of bounds Kelly?
The Clash Blaster is the same size as a normal gun (when compared to an inkling) But, it's literally just a pencil sharpener with crayons taped to it. Both of those things are relatively small to us, but to an inkling, require two hands to hold.
"They are 150cm or if you want to be *more* precise, that's 4'11. "
something's wrong I can feel it
Have you ever wondered: What would happen if an inkling had to do a blood/ink donation?
They'd do it the same way we do?
Infinity.
They would put a syringe into their ink sac
"let's get started"
Ad plays
Omg, that happened to me too
Same here
8:59
And that is...
**ADVERT**
wow.
this also proves everything around the inklings is GIGANTIC
Theory: It could be that the humans were so advanced back then that they were able to create weapons that were reality shifting and could mess with the atomic structure of things. In which can explain the "Octo Expansion" Gameboy's, NES', etc, the salmon run food items, and other things.
5 foot tall could mean 5 inkling feet.
The Octo Expansion was more deeper than we thought
Edit: I've watched the whole thing just to get greeted with a "Whatever you want it to be". Not cool.

Easy answer:
Take Mario’s model from Smash. Put His and inklings model side by side. Look at game theory’s answer to Mario’s height( I forget)
BOOM ANSWER
Why look at gAmE TheOrY when you can look at the actual official height given by Nintendo, i.e., 5'1"
Doesn't work. Olimar is supposed to be like 2 inches tall and yet he's the same size as Mario. Ridley is supposed to be like 5 times bigger than Smash's Ridley.
They shrank ridley
@@musictorin actualy they used the metroid 1 height
Can we talk about the smexy Dedede Crouch human skeleton pose
I think it has become clear in Splat 3s story mode, as long as the structures there are standard to modern human dimensions, then 5 ft is probably correct. Considering the lore from story mode, too, it makes sense how there can be such gigantic modern objects. That game really answers many questions from the Splatoon series, doesn't it?
now that splatoon 3 has released, we have figured out more about the lore. we figured out that humans made special crystals that could collect thoughts and project them into an image. this would likely be used for the backgrounds of levels meaning that the inkling is likely not an inch tall. this could have also been used for most other backgrounds and could mean that the only likely option is that inklings and octolings are 5 feet tall

9:08 No disrespect but the Kermit voice in you just came out
Edit: I mean the line: "These could be"
I've got another dimension:
in octo expansion,salmon run and campeign you can see some fish eggs,which I think are supposed to be about the same size as caviar(?) an Inkling is about 4 times as big as fish eggs,wich are
0.24 to 6.5 mm big,wich would mean,that they are in the mm area,so even smaller,than the smallest height you suggested (1 - 24mm).
I have come here to point out a flaw in your great zapfish explaination! Splatoon is several thousand years in the future. Squids and Octopus have gained the ability to shape shift. Why wouldn’t a electric catfish be able to grow to the size of a skyscraper in that time? I guess that doesn’t invalidate this video, BUT I pointed out a flaw in a theory by someone who I don’t know on the internet and at the end of the day what else really matters?😅
haven't watched the video yet but in the octo expansion in the central station there's this big door at the end of the hallway which makes me believe inklings/octolings are smaller than humans
edit: the giant consoles on the octo expansion levels are probably just for aesthetic tbh, shellendorf institute's human skeleton is also probably sized up to make it more clear since it's literally out of bounds, you could calculate those jellyfish's heights to the ones in the square and then find out how tall an inkling would be next to those objects down there
4:24 this has given me a new theory i remember a splat 3 trailer with the sentence "Return of the mammalians" could we potentially be fighting giant humans or some other mammals for boss fights!?
Inklings if they were tiny
The squids: Lets evolve backwards
Great video! I found out that inklings must be much smaller compared to humans when I was playing Salmon Run. BUT I gotta question wouldn't the inklings and octolings have nothing on land since the tide went up? Cuz it flooded the land.
It's gone down After the flooding and the squid started to evolve
Even though the world flooded, human cities etc. would still have stayed intact both underwater and on land. Everything that wasn't destroyed during the world wars that is. Didn't humans also move underground to the caves the octarians nowadays live in? Those would definitely have had human items left in them
While I am not really convinced by this video, I definitely found some enjoyment out of it. I still believe that they are about 5 feet tall
Because, there is one factor I think you forgot to mention. How would that explain Judd? I think he is the average size for a cat.
*”Cause their dead”* has really scared my small head...
"if you wanna be more precise" uses imperial system
Red: Ends the video in us deciding
Us: THEY R 5 FEET TALL!!!!
What's with the big door in Octo Expansion then?
I’d just like to start out by saying I admire that even despite the obvious facts you still wanted to exsplore something you saw as a mystery, and it makes for some really entertaining content, and daisies manny interesting questions for viewers!
But I would indeed like to give my imput here
Nintendo has always been vary consistent with the night of charicters in there games, allot of what you pointed out makes some really good points but you have to remeber that the inklings don’t always know what sertinly human relics were used for, not to mention there sense of design is somewhat diffrent from ours, the big stuff you mentioned in the octo exspantions can obviously be boialed down to Jiangxi relics they made that size for a reason, witch is decoration. The same is likely true in salmon run, you don’t actualy think there’s just big food there above the water not rotting or something over time do you?
Then there’s the matter of the grate zapfish, clearly it’s not the actual size of a real life electric catfish, it’s a huge eel thing, AND it flys in the sky, the whole point of the museum is to teach the player something, and all of the nights we see add up
Then there’s the matter of the skeleton, the fact that the jellyfish are much bigger then what they actualy are should already tip you off that it’s a matter of perspective to the player to save up space fore the map, I think if the player was ment to actualy get up close to the skeleton they would have been scailed the right way
And then there’s the train station door, this one use to stump me too but humans have been gone for a really long time, long enugh for theses sea creatures to evolve and build there own civilization around there own nights, inkopolice looks like a really small newyork , however in an underground train station everything is likely ment to fit a few diffrent times of undersea creatures, like the angle fish that basicly tower over your charicter, witch is a whole other thing entirely
When building there world they dident just have to think about the size of themselves, they had to think about the size of other creatures too, witch is really impressive
It kind of bothered me how unsure you were, and I couldent tell if maybe you wanted to beleave they were way smaller then what we saw...? Or if you were just posing a question, I’d personally like to know witch height you like to beleave the most!!
And I hope you make more videos asking questions like these, because even if it seems like everything’s figured out, there can still always be a discussion, and a fun video exsploring the world alittle and exsplaining your views!
I was playing the octo expansion and discovered the hall in the beginning subway with the telephone has octoling sized lockers on one end and a giant door on the other side. Assuming the new inhabitants couldn’t do much about changing the underground structure due to it becoming unstable and collapsing, it’s probably human sized and the octoling would probably have to jump to grab or turn the handle.
So maybe the size of a grown cat standing on its hind legs?
thing is: Mr. Grizz is 1/10th of a saturn V rocket.
also, the wikipedia entry said the great zapfish was a MASSIVE electric catfish
keep in mind that its an out of bounds area and most things may be disspoportioinate
Personally, I feel like they're around 5 feet, but you did show a lot of really good evidence!
inklings and octos are 14 when thay reach humanoid form a human in the age of 14 can have even today since human evolution took place that kids grow up faster ever since and 5 feet tall might be a averege high mybe if thay get older mybe the grow even a bit since marine seem to be alot older so she might have growing a bit more so assume that every player in splatoon is 14 years old so the inklings and octos are probly around 5 feet or at least 4 feet
the shellendorf OoB thing might be inconclusive because going out of bounds doesn’t change the size of your character in proportion to the out of bounds objects.
also the door in deepsea metro might not be meant exclusively for inklings. you saw that big boi jelly thing on the metro train right?? the door is most likely meant to be used by larger species
Like the big fish in splat 3 after you get in the train
well, today we know that grizz is a giant bear, and not a normal grizzly bear, this is why inklings can fit in the paws
About NES/SNES/Gameboy at Octo Expansion dimensions. In every game theory we have to differ the notions like "In-game fact" and "Easter egg". Probably, in Octo Expansion these consoles are just easter eggs, so we can't use it as an argument in theory.
inklings height: Yoshi
Humans height: Big Yoshi
thats a good explanation
12:19 I Was Thinking That You Would Say That You Need A Hacker To Look At It
The Splatoon 2 section of the NSO App tells you how many p you've inked, and relates it to real life areas. I did some (likely incorrect) math to figure out that 1p is around .081 square inches, or .206 square cm. That kinda helps to show you, if you ink just 1 p, that inklings are likely very small. And it's even using in-game measurements!
I feel like the best way to solve this would be just to jump, measure the value of g in pixels/frame^2, set up a dimensional analysis comparing it to the actual value of g (9.81m/s^2), and solve for the number of pixels per meter to get a nice pixel-to-meter ratio with which to measure inklings. g wouldn't change significantly in 12,000 years, at least not without all life on Earth going extinct due to some massive collision removing a significant chunk of the Earth's mass or significantly changing its radius.
I have one of two theories. Radiation caused things like the skeleton and zapfish to grow, or inklings have their own perspective of height and they are five inkling feet tall.
Interesting video but I have to point out one thing. When you make the comparison of the shark mural with the megalodon one, we can see that the numbers in both are diferent. If we assume the same measurement unit for both we can see that the size of the large shark in the mural aligns with the modern-day white shark there is in the representation of megalodon. Ence, this also support the squid-like size.
I personally can dismiss the cartridges and consoles as meta-stuff while the giant food could not be food at all and instead be decorative sign-like objects. So I do think the squid-like size is the most likely personally.
My theory is 5 feet. The inkling is actually smaller than the jellies at Shellendorf Institute because it is designed to be viewed far away. So if you measure the height of the jellies in the plaza and proportion them according to the jellies at Shellendorf then you can measure the human using the jellies height accurately. I think that the zapfish, consoles, and giant food are all just, giant and aren’t really meant to be observed as regular. But all in all we really don’t know. 5 feet does seem accurate
Apparently in current lore through the A-logs in Splatoon 3, apparently the "glass walls" are made from squid ink that can read minds. It's very likely given how similar these locations are to each other they are made from the same technology, thus these are likely psychedelic lingerings of times of old.
