26:03 I see this theme going in two ways depending on the person. Either honoring the past or trying to return to the past by changing the present. The Squid Sisters honor the past and reflect on their journey. Meanwhile Tartar and Mr. Grizz were obsessed with the past and wanted to see society return to that point. It’s defiantly an interesting theme of reflection vs obsession

i hope we can go back to their hometown so we can get a traditional japanese hub center

I love the relationship between humans and inkfish I love when humans matter in stories

Splatoon is not only a game… it also shaped my personality and interests ❤

Personally another way they could of done the Great Turf War was as a flash back if anything, maybe have the player play as Cuttlefish during that war.

i think the reason why tartar still let cuttlefish in the blender is because he used to be a strong soldier, tartar would know this by 1 seeing him battle or 2 seeing his mem cakes if he has any. but not cuttlefish is old and only focus on rapping tar tar has lost much interest.

Just asking here but looking at how the splattershot is performing now does this means the tentatek splattershot will become more of an annoyance then it already is,cause honestly im tired of high level players using such a basic weapon

i think we are gonna be in a place where it’s has more folk tales, and for splatfest showing more of a nostalgic feeling. like this place carries it’s legacy and it’s legends more seriously

I got a idea, i don't know if it's a good idea but i want to put it on the table anyways : A "kirby and the forgotten land" story like. By that i mean a story mode based in a old human city, where inkling and octoling begun to disappear, who will be more that they got back to there primitive instinct. And in japanese culture, Squid and Octopuse are natural enemy, who can lead to a new war between Savage inkling and octoling. But who wil be the mastermind in all that ? Lil'judd. Why whould he do that ? That simple. He know Judd is well protected by the inkling and octoling civilisation. So he want to destroy this society to kill judd, then, he will create a new order around himself. But what will be the message ? Simple, aknowledge the past, via the new technology inkling and octoling got from human, but not let your origin take all the place, like with lil'Judd, obsess by the fact he find himself nothing more than a Judd copy. So, what do you think of my idea ?

0:05 A paradise?

He forgot, we can move to the past without time travel, so they MOVED to the splatlands right? We'll then cant we move back to inkopolis?

Something that COULD be pretty interesting is that the city in splat4 had a positive relationship with the salmonids due to being an ocean town, but grizzco arrived, and it affected it very negatively. The story mode could be the player character realizing this, and joining forces with the salmonids to fight lil judd or something like that. Or maybe they still do have a positive relationship, and they're trying to prevent grizzco from harming the salmonids. edit: thought about it more, would make more sense if it was salmonids going missing, and its revealed to be because of a grizzco thing, despite grizzco never showing up before

That's a good idea! I hope the new Splatoon game has new modes!

Man I'd love if 4 was actually set in the past (Not super far, maybe squid late showa era/very early heisei?) and we had the "Coikals" idols as the idols. I actually headcanon them to have been idolised by the young Squid Sisters. I personally think a prequel would be a very unique take on the new game, and we could maybe even have a dlc that'll finally show us what octarian society really looks like outside of story mode stages. I don't think that'd count as time travel and it'd definitely wouldn't ruin the game's timeline and stuff since it's not some ancient times thing.

my poor fellow future members

During Tri Battles, I allways tried to play TOGETHER with the other attacking team. However, the other team would allways try to attack me. Only in the Grandefestival, I found other people that had the same way of playing. And guess what, it was allways Team Past. It speaks to Team Pasts skill, that this is the first time since launch I find another smart playing attacking team.

Guess I need to put Splatoon 3 on the front burner. Looks like it gets interesting like right after where I'm at. May as well finish it. But straight up, they ABSOLUTELY NEED to fix the stupid crap that's plagued the series from the very beginning. Stop recycling assets, make longer matches an option, quit it with the stupid arbitrary stage selections and let us vote on the stage each time like with Mario Party Jamboree's minigames or Mario Kart tracks, and let us have ALL the music and stages instead of making massive cuts for no reason at all!! Like the story is interesting but we're here for the gameplay, and oh yeah, that takes me to the most important point, USE NORMAL HECKING GYRO AIM GAMEPLAY LIKE FORTNITE AND ANY OTHER MORDERN 3RD PERSON SHOOTER!!!

I feel like a Great Turf War game would work the best as a spin-off prequel game. I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't do Splatoon spin-offs, and there is so much untapped potential that I feel like it would be a waste if they didn't.

Project Splatoon 3 might have been onto somthing in terms of themeing

I love the idea for a sea-themed campaign as well as the idea of progressive storytelling, so here's my take on that. Imagine the hub world as a Greek/Japanese inspired fishing city that is kind of like an oasis in the middle of the Splatlands, right on the edge of the coast of Inkopolis Bay (i.e. the Mediterranean Sea). This is very long, so click "read more" if you dare. Campaign 1. How to make a Salmon Run 2 parts, Hero and Freedom Hero takes the 3D platformer part seriously and allows different weapons to use different special parkour moves (Wall Cling Rollers, Double Jump Blasters, Pole Vault Splatanas, Walljump Anchors) In the hero story, you drive out the Salmonids from the sewers beneath the Splatlands The main hub is giant, comprised of 3 main worlds each with 3 levels, a few gauntlet stages (like Alterna Space Centre) after each world is cleared, and one giant final level which is essentially another large hub. World themes include a technological hub filled with tons of gears and pressure valves, a toxic bog of swampy goo, a cave filled with crystals and ice, a giant stream that leads to lush cascades that you must follow to progress, and a giant Salmonid metropolis built right in Grand Sewer Central, with a giant colosseum towering above the entire area that plugs the entire sewer. 20 new salmonid types. You fight the 3 king salmonids, a new king salmonid introduced in this game, a Triumvirate, and the main antagonist (the head engineer of the salmonids) twice in two separate mechs (The Amphibeast and the Dorsal Fin-isher) While traversing this world, certain areas are marked as salmonid territory, and you must fight waves of Salmonids in a designated arena space and get as many eggs as possible to move on. If a specific egg score is reached, you get a main collectible and some upgrade materials You have a specific amount of upgrade points. You can allocate them to whatever stats that you want, but even with maxed upgrade points, one cannot obtain every single upgrade, so you have to carefully plan out the best loadout. You play as Neo Agent 3, and you adventure with Smallfry, Callie, Marie, Captain, and Cuttlefish. To progress the story, you need some collectibles (which I'll call Talismans and Orbs, as they are similar in function to those from Spyro 2). Every level has 1 talisman that you can get by going on the proper path, and you need a specific amount of talismans of that area to reach the boss. Every talisman has new secrets and existing important facts left as clues by the Salmonids to detail their rage and possibly convince you to join their side. Orbs are needed to access the final 2 worlds and their levels, and they provide pieces of splatoon lore from S1 & S2, OE, and ROTM repsectively for each main world. (SO is not included for reasons I will include later). Orbs require you to use specific weapons and go off the beaten path. Every so often, you go back to base camp to recap with Callie and Marie what you learned and try to make sense of everything, thinking like a historian to truly understand the whole picture. In Freedom Mode, you play as a Salmonling left by your species to rot in the sewers after showing remorse to Inkling and Octoling opponents. You find Deep Cut and they assist you on your journey. They were told that there was a treasure in the centre of the sewer by Agents 1 & 2 (who tricked them into going there so that they could help out with the investigation), so they want to get it. There are also mammalian octarians (who are the enemies in this mode) in the sewers, and you have been tasked to clear them out as well. It wouldn't make sense to include actual mammals as they don't shoot ink nor do they get damaged by it. 15 new Octarian types. Only 3 types of weapons available: Sloshers, Splatlings, and Spouters Gameplay could be a combination of Splatoon's controls, gimmicks, etc., Halo's room structure and combat focus, and Hollow Knight's exploration. Worlds include an area riddled with sand and beach gear from the nearby ocean, a water treatment plant with gimmicks revolving around light and cleaning, a scrapyard which has a load of junk, a power plant that revolves around electricity generation methods for a gimmick, and a facility that houses the final boss of the mode. You can use Boss Salmonid abilities as the "upgrades" which take you from one place to another. You fight upgraded versions of the Octonozzle, Octowhirl, and Octo Shower, new mechs (the Octoclaw (wolf), Octotusk (walrus), and Octoscreech (bat), each based off of mammals), and eventually, the corrupted Great Zapfish (now the Great Zapfuzz) who is the final boss, now fully taken over by the Fuzzy Ooze, based off of the fact that the Splatsville Great Zapfish had some hair on its head after the main story was completed. There is also a Last Story (SA2 style) available after a Grand Festival event to kick off the new trilogy, includes a new, undiscovered clone of Judd as a final boss as Inklings, Octolings, and Salmonids decide to forget the past and work together in a new future to defeat this common enemy and move into the future, There will also be a second DLC campaign focused on providing a well-told, amazing story with a focus on humanity's consequences, the sea, and also sharks as well as a remaster of Side Order for DLC 3 with heaps of new features and quality-of-life improvements (hence, no side order details in orbs).

The next Splatoon game taking place in a fishing town would be such a good opportunity for the devs to go crazy with Salmon Run

I agree with the points made about time travel but it's giving me flashbacks to Rassicas's "I hope Mr. Grizz isn't a bear"

Really appreciate these videos giving me a better understanding of the games lore and I like the interpretations you have of it. Amazing stuff.

Watching this at school rn

okay see THIS is the prediction video i've been waiting for. and it was worth the wait, my dude. one thing i could also see happening is the hub world really taking inspiration from past forms of architecture. (and honestly it's such an obvious decision for them to make i'm pretty sure this is a universal agreement.) i remember lowkey panicking when past won, because i had those exact same fears about what they would do to the game. (this is the same reason i didn't want future to win tbh.) then i kinda remembered that they have never been that literal and they've never once left the characters we love behind. idk, they COULD, since it's said to be the start of a new story, but i think starting without any old charcters is a quick way to lose people and it would go against everything they've already set up with very clear questions for new antagonists to follow, like what's goin on with the cloned goldfish and of course lil' judd. lil judd in particular is already connected to the theme of clinging onto the past in the present day (in a likely toxic way), but this could be done with the goldfish too, since they are a species that shouldn't be here and yet somehow they are. with that in mind, i'm able to come around to the idea of exploring their relationship with the past rather than outright... exploring the past. i have no doubt that had present won, it would reflect the idea of living in the here & now and future would conquer fear (or a lack thereof) of the unknown. and i love love love how you connected it to the sea. this is now officially one of those situations where if it doesn't go this direction i may be disappointed lmao. and i agree man... i will really check out if they go with time travel. (like, pls not again, nintendo. ik you've been having fun with this plot device but pls we've had ENOUGH-) anyway. amazing analysis. so glad you took your time and let it get bigger than was planned. keep doin' what u do, fam.

I think it would be really cool if rather than time traveling back to meet humans, the story takes you to uncover more history about humanity and maybe while doing so some of the bosses could be imagined human war machines similar the splatoon 1

As a member of team past, I can't wait to see what Nintendo will do for the fourth part of the series. Your theory with the sea sounds really cool.

Oh I know!. . . Octolings having to deal with racism and us being unable to be octo again

Good video

I think it'd be nice if our new hero is a relic hunter so in levels we can look for treasures that give us some ideas of the past but still leave a lot to our imaginations.

i think a cool idea for past would be something like archaeology where a lot of stuff focuses on digging up artefacts and using them in battle

Which character is from the past...? JUDD

If Splatoon 4 really is about the sea imagine what the water graphics will look like on the switch successor

If they were to in fact do a game on the great turf war, I'd like a spinoff at least. They better not center the whole splat 4 around it

Since their music doesn't even sound energetic, I think Splatoon 4's music will be worse.

From a gameplay standpoint, I could see a commonly requested feature be added. Splatoon's devs seem to have a philosophy that they only add features in a way that makes sense with the world they're building. People asked for customizable rooms/apartments, but the inklings are essentially children so likely wouldn't live in their own place, so they compromised and gave us lockers. I could see the same attitude come into play for custom weapon kits. The past is very commonly known for being less regulated and more of a "wild west" attitude to laws. Whenever new technology is introduced, it takes a while for rules to become established, like the seemingly in-universe rule of preset weapon kits. edit: wrote this before the point of it being a prequel. I kind of assumed past winning made that a guarantee. If present won, it may take place in their equivalent to 2026 or whenever, but future would have been in a cyberpunk style world (we defo missed out if that were the case)

you know a game that got compleately crippled lore wise when time travel was introduced? FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS

I absolutely love your ideas on what the next game could be and I hope that if we get a splatoon 4: it would be very similar to them as it sounds very interesting!

In terms of tackling the recurring issues of the past in a sea-themed environment, the Salmonids make perfect antagonists. The Salmon Runs have been intensifying with time, even as the Inkfish overhunt them for their Golden Eggs amid the background of a rampant consumer society. This is in spite of the fact that Salmonids aren't necessarily universally hostile, with Hugefry in particular being a vital member of the team that defeated Mr. Grizz. It would make sense for a coastal community to be battered by this destructive cycle of hostility and environmental degradation, and it makes sense that in the end reason and the Inkantation can triumph and create a shared community that lives in the moment sustainably.

thank you very much, you made me see the world of Splatoon with a way better look. I feel better about this franchise, now and I'm ready to see what it'll have to say in the future!

The reason I chose team past was because of how much potential the theme has, great final fest though :)

human from mars coolcy ruled by a dictator bascly sending in a mother ship and trying to recalim the earth with bacly supe futretric sci fi weapons and from space comlny behond the solar sistem geting inloved tech with e10+ rated anamated vicaloce of corse if neidnto is wanting to actaly make there spaltoon lore and story have any proper sense and acatly has been impleid so many times that its not funny and if nedtio chekens out like they did in pokimon i'm giong to be very very very very mad. like i had dreams aobut the spaltlands before even niedntio even started splatoon 3 devplent back in ther was only a spatton one bacly. yes my dreams bacly spoiled the spaltoon games. but it seams netndio doesnt want ot go all in with all the lore they wawnt to use but peosbly leave out bescue of to much lets say polctal rewivew viedo game bord issues being scared to make the main stream news a bit too mad of how dark the actaly real intened version the nedito realy wanted was simply would requred beinga t for teen or m at the least if they actly when all in of the lore that they want but can't bescue the ESRB would make more sactons of a t or m reatign atthe least the more of the real nintedio full all in of the splatoon full story if not massvly kidifed would be reated m or even the dread ao of how real dark and disptoeion post apracltical it realy realy realy gets.

“I’m basically just guessing at this point,” cosmic after spending the last 30 minutes assessing and analyzing nearly everything to do with splatoon’s past Great video! Your video about sanitization sill remains one of my favourite splatoon theory video of all time, and they just seem to be getting better and better! Can’t wait for more! Now we all get down on one knee and pray to Nintendo the next splatoon game isn’t about time travel-

the biggest mistake with this video is thinking that the final splatfest completely forms the story on the next game. Saying that S3 story reflects chaos it's a big stretch, they were developing salmon run lore since S2, they knew they wanted to make the big reveal on S3 regardless of the outcome on the Final Fest. It is even more impossible considering the little time they have to develop the games, Octo Expansion was being developed at the same time S2 was I hope they have more time and actually shape the story with the winner team, it would be really cool, but they already left some hints on S3, specifically about cloning

Yay my favourite splatuber uploaded :DD

Knowing Nintendo this whole splatfest was just a cleverly reworded choice between a splatoon 1 remake, mainline game or spin-off.

We're going back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu

Hearing you recount the story again and such. (Spoilers to Halo games as well as splatoon games.) It's reminding me that it sorta sounds familiar to Bungie's Story and Halo games. Humans are once again forerunners and they are being wiped out (cause of the literal "flood" of water). Difference is, there's the last ditch humans which end tragically due to the pursuit and wishing for the reclaiming all of their lost land and time. The direct children unable to reach that goal, and seal their fate. However it's not all lost, since their long lost children are now the new reclaimers to all their forefathers had.

3:22 it does...but this interpretation is...kind of objectively wrong? Every chaos player keeps going "order=fascism" seemingly unaware that those regimes are *notoriuously* chaotic, and the appearance that they "have order" is the crux of their propaganda. Any actual Anarchist will tell you "Anarchy IS Order" because the word literally means "no rulers" - if we look at he finalfest announcement dialogue, Pearl specifically says "no rules," without the R in there. The chaos Pearl wanted is kind of the opposite of Anarchy, and why I keep saying the S3 hardcore retconned basically everything about the finalfest. And since Future lost, we've lost our second opportunity at a cyberpunk Splatoon 🙃
