pinned comment to amend any info I missed or got wrong in the video! Will edit this comment to add new info accordingly.
-Tsumabushi's name actually comes from "hitsumabushi," which is an eel rice bowl!
-yes i forgot that the "t" in "debut" is silent 😔
-i used the wrong pronunciation of celtic! wasnt aware the soft 'c' is not used in modern english outside of referring to the football team.
You messed up with Bob dub. He's based off of a real person, Bob Marley.
@@geozapfish check the comments of my previous vid. left it out bc i thought it was too obvious but i really shouldve said it anyways
@@rassicas oh lol ok
Hey just so you know, this isn’t pinned
@@bigiron1311 oh whoops. It should be now
I think the reason why the Salmonids call omega 3 the "fattiest" is because omega 3 irl is a fatty acid found in fish
Cool

But is good
yeahhh (666 likes lol)
"Blow bottom" and "Seaman show"
...
Yeah localization team is gonna have their work cut out for them lmao
But “Seaman live” was legendary
@@Null82085 lmfao
Rassicas when there is one single picture of lore: Kowalski, analysis
Rassicas: *is also Kowalski*
The fact that karen means “sweet” or “lovely” is kinda hilarious considering the reputation Karens have in the west
The Karen’s in the west tend to be quite feisty
18:28 Fun fact: betta fish are known for being highly aggressive to other members of their own species, fighting one another sometimes to the death. I've heard that, if you were to put a mirror in front of one it would start bashing its own body against it in sheer aggression, thinking it's another beta fish of the same sex, injuring itself in the process.
Yeah, there shouldn't be much of a wonder as to why she clashes a lot.
Yep!
he*
as an irish person, bottom feeders makes me proud to be irish. they’re definitely one of my favourite splatoon bands, why are they so underappreciated 😭😭
I’m Scottish so me too.
I love them! Their songs are so catchy and I miss them dearly :(
i love them too!
The member of the bottom feeders with a weakness towards cute girls has a fedora and seemingly a neck beard. I just wanted to point that out.
M’inkling
Milady
💀💀
M'cephy
Bro💀😭
"They sometimes practice in secret together" my god they were bandmates
I think I have an explanation for Bottom Feeders all having Bottom as their last name. It's possible that it's a reference to the Ramones, which is one of the first and most famous punk band in history, and guess what ? Every member used Ramones as their pseudo-last name. Plus Bottom Feeders is also a punk band despite their music being radically different so I think it makes sense.
i know the splat devs LOVE to throw in real world musical references, good catch!!!! didnt know the ramones had a pseudo last name thing going on too
Uhh, hi! I don't quite know where to put this but, I have this headcannon that an ink substitute exists in the splatoon world that allows non ink based people to play ink based sports. I believe this ink substitute would also be used in the deep sea metro as Iso Padre (I think that's his name) was also a contestant. How the substitute would work is similar to a normal gun, around the map there would be refills that would instantly adapt to the colour of ink the user is playing with. I don't quite know how the respawn would work but I just wanted to put my ramblings out there.
thats true, iso padre shouldve been able to try out the deepsea metro challenges SOMEHOW (unless he did the ink-free challenges, he did only finish 2 stations)
but yeah, i like that idea with refills around the stage!
Plus IRL most fish secrete mucus to protect their skin
And at least salmonids are really proficient at it in game
Something else I thought of that potentially builds on this theory - in sunken scroll 15, Ammoses Shellendorf has his own ink tank and bamboozler (despite him not being an ink-based species), so either he knows a way to use ink weapons or he’s just carrying them because he can
2:16 my headcannon is that inklings and octolings could honestly have any color/pattern on their skin but most just choose to have human like skin tones.
Methinks that inklings and octos choose, prefer or maybe even need to mimic human skin/melanin to protect themselves from UV radiation, so if a ceph spends alot of time indoors or doesn't get enough sun exposure the rest of their bodies looks like their ink, or vice versa.
Although, the top of their heads is precisely where their ink colored skin is so maybe I'm talking out of my syphon.
My head cannon is that he isn't entirely an inkling, but a cross breed?
Maybe he’s just their equivalent of “baby faced”
What if they have skin dye thats like hair dye but for your skin?
I wish they talked about they the other band more often in game. Maybe even give them holographic 3d models for live concerts.
YES
I would be down with that.
Imagine different bands playing at different splatfests!
I wish they talked about they the other band more often in game. Maybe even give them holographic 3d models for live concerts.
2022 Edit: Harmony from Chirpy Chips in Splatoon 3 let's go!
I'd play a Splatoon spinoff where the background bands got more focus.
"seaweed is not actually a plant dont worry" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?? THAT REALLY DOESNT MAKE IT ANY BETTER ??
seaweed is a multicellular algae! plants have roots, can't survive submerged in saltwater. seaweed doesnt have roots and lives in saltwater.
@@rassicas Seaweed is an ALGAE? I always thought it was some kind of plant. Sure looks like one!
@@TrinityCore60 that's because they used photosynthesis before plants made it cool, so they copied algae and expanded on their anatomy to adapt to land.
I tell you, the 'lore' of the kingdoms of the tree of life is a thing all in it's own.
@@GandalfTheTsaagan I figured plants evolved from algae; if algae was the photosynthetic organism that animals ate for sustenance, then it makes sense they would evolve into something that also matches that description, only better adapted for land.
@@TrinityCore60 yeah
Just checked wikipedia's pages on algae and plants and it turns out that plants are a very specific group of green algae, and that what we call algae as a whole is a very unspecific polyphyletic group that includes pretty much any photosynthetic eukaryote.
But re: how crazy is the extent of sapience in splatoon, it does not make it may better. Because this means that plants are just as viable as characters lol.
I suppose that this just reinforces that as long as it's aquatic it can pass as a person in-universe.
I think it's really cute how Ink Theory match the vibe of their music by all being eccentric oddballs. Their distinct sound really made them my favorite band in Splat2, so I hope we get some more of it in 3.
If salmonids are a key part of sploon 3 I can't imagine how janky there new music will be
The jankyness will sound amazing
ruclips.net/video/7DS4lerSS7Y/видео.html
I for one accept our new odd time signatures/nonfunctional harmony/weird genre mash overlords
Its intresting how inklings can look so different. I think in game inklings look so similar for game reasons maybe in universe they differ more or as they age there individual traits develop idk
I'd like these other pieces of Splatoon media to get official localization, but knowing Nintendo, they probably are not going to do it.
id bet a localization of haikara walker is going to happen eventually. however, the wet floor interview...probably not
tsumabushis name comes from the japanese name for grilled eel on rice
yep, it was mentioned during the premier, i added that to the description!
Me when I see even more super cool splatoon music lore: 👀👀🥺👁️👄👁️❣️❣️👌👌👌
13:43 Wait, high school? How does the education system in Inkopolis even work? I mean, we have school outfits, and now confirmation of high school. Does it follow Japan's education system or something?
high school's been long confirmed. i think the assumption is that some inklings go and turf after school
I cant wai to see what other sea creatures they turn into band members, im really hoping for a dolphin or some sort of walking coral
Well, Marina's landlord is a narwhal so fingers crossed
Those sound like they could be deepsea denizens, and since octo expansion happened some might come to the surface and formed a band, which would be really cool.
Ink theory’s a fan of Hightide era?
No wonder I love their sound
15:57 OOH OOH. I don’t know enough Latin to decode that first word, but interestingly enough, ‘pulcherrimus’ p much translates to ‘the most beautiful’. Trivia :D
love the chat exploding to call ink theory lesbians when they showed up during the live premiere
i mean they do all give off that vibe
For inkoming whenever I listened to it i always thought i heard “ink or sink” in the song so nice to know that it’s confirmed its in there
Within a span of like 2 hours you have become probably one of my favorite channels on youtube, just thank you, I've been looking for a splatoon channel like yours for a while.
I may have laughed a little too hard when you said “blow bottom”
16:53 "...paying close attention to her curfew."
Me, at 2 am reworking my splat oc's backstories: 👁👄👁
Honestly kudos to you for translating these so well because a lot Nintendo games from Japan have their own exclusives magazines and information and everything else and I'd never really get to know them. Thanks for your hard work
Another great video! Can't wait to hear about my favorite band, Sashimori, next week. All I know about them is that there is a midget octoling named paul who is a DJ. Hence why they are my favorite. Can't wait to see if their lore!
paul's a child, thats why hes small!
@@rassicas awww
Kind of explains their appearance too
little man
Paul is the only info we have about octolings growing up, hopefully we get more info about octolings in splatoon 3.
I barely knew about Muratā bottom until now because whenever i saw the bottom feeders album cover i never payed attention to them, my eyes just went to the other band members for some reason
wait i think the newer bands are affected by the splatocalypse in splatoon 3
if order had won, we would've gotten more ink theory music in the new game
perhaps since chaos won, we'll get more bottom feeders music!
I love how this game really includes its music, like all the lore and stories behind the bands and the dance station in inkopolis
loving these splatoon lore videos! :D
I find it funny that Karen means sweet and lovely in Japanese but in English it’s the complete opposite, also ink theory is automatically in my top ten list of bands because Bibi plays the kazoo
I like to belive that ink colored skin is a result of not getting enough sun
Fin bottom is literally just the long haired fish lady from shark tale
*looks at splatoon bands*
now this... this is some good music...
i love ink theory so much
I have some things to say about Bisk maybe being DJ real Sole.
In all the renditions of “New You” in the shops, we can hear an apparent difference after we get to the second loop of the main theme.
For the Head Gear Shop we get like some meowing almost.
For the Clothing Shop we get some vocals along with a synth.
In the weapons shop we get a little (trumpet?) solo.
And in the shoe shop, which is Bisks shop, we get a nice electric guitar solo/ motif.
In the Sunken Scroll with Bisk in it, we see the music sheet for this specific solo. Alluding to Bisk writing it.
Every shops music matches with the Merchants vibe and aesthetic. So I would like to think that Bisk’s really cool and sleek vibe wrote that specific remix for his own store.
Anyway I love your video!! Please do one for Splatoon 3!!
If Splatoon 1 had more of a 90s feel to it’s sound, I’d define Splatoon 2 as being more…early 2000s, in a way. A lot of that is due to the bands in this game being less bombastic, and more experimental, pushing for something different from the regular rock. In a way, it’s probably a sound that Hightide Era might’ve helped start, given how they were described as the exception to the general “Guitar based” music.
Many aren’t huge on the music of this game, and I guess I understand that…but at the same time, I adore the more creative genre’s brought in with this change in style, with Celtic Rock and Jazz Punk being some really cool additions that I’d have loved to hear more of. And even Wet Floor’s more balanced sort of Ska-esque sound resonated with me more than I thought, being very catchy and using enough of that Squid Squad influence to make it perfect for Turf Wars. I’d also say Chirpy Chips’ new music was some of their best, drawing some influence from past bands in Splatoon 1, seemingly.
Overall, I just find there’s a lot to like about Splatoon 2’s offerings, not even counting Off The Hook in it, and I think the new bands are woefully underrated. Bottom Feeders especially. Love those guys.
KAZAMI IS SO CUTEEEEE
I couldn't hold my laugh when i saw tangled bottom being attacked by the violinist lol
So, you've only seen the word "debut" written out, huh? It's pronounced day-BYEW.
Still an awesome video, regardless!
*runs away crying *
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the inklings ink and skin color can change at will like a cuttlefish, so skin color for inklings and octolings is just an aesthetic choice, and changing your skin hair and eye color in the customization is like cannon that your still the same squid
Omega Three is the best band, and you cannot change my mind.

“..and she plays the percussion.”
DAMN OKAY REALLY OUT HERE MASTERING EVERY PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT OKAY-
Bottom feeders is one of my favorite splatoon 2 bands thanks for sharing some lore about them
Ah yes, Fin Bottom. Our favorite gaslight gatekeep girlboss
You said Bottom Feeders were from “up north” right? There’s two ways I interpreted that. Either it’s north from Japan where I assume Inkopolis is located, or up north in general. If it’s the latter, then Bottom Feeders may be from Scotland, Ireland, or Canada (specifically Nova Scotia). Of course I could’ve missed something in the vid that contradicts this but whatever
I Love The Idea Of Splatoon Scotland Being A Thing
Imagine being so considerate that you pride yourself in tasting good after you die. Does that count as body positivity? I have no idea! If this was an attitude throughout the entire world of Splatoon-like it was just considered a general curtesy long before modern inkopolis- everyone being named after good tasting food, and even dressing like that actually makes a lot of sense.
I noticed something a while ago that you missed or something! The grizzco lobby theme “Happy Little Workers” sounds like it uses a very similar instrument as w-3’s songs, especially “Fractic Aspic,” but I might be be wrong. It’s not exact, but it does sound similar enough to signify a connection to me

“Fuka bottom”
TFCATHBY has the incredible talent of putting the pure feeling of anxiety into a cello in the salmon run music
I'm really enjoying these! Looking forward to part 3 :)
glad to hear it! :]
pearl's band should come back in splatoon 3
PROTECT KITAMURA SQUAD.
I’m so hyped for new music and lore in splat 3!! I wonder if any of these existing musicians will be characters in-game?
I like to imagine that bottom feeders plays their songs faster live than on their albums
Call me crazy but I really want a screamo rap group in the next splatoon something like Spider Gang but with Splatoon characters think it would be neat definitely if they had like in world splatoon style moshpits I think that would be sick ik for a fact screamo rappers like Jasiah, Nascar Aloe and Lil Darkie have moshpits where things get really crazy and I just wanna see if stuff like that exist in the splatoon world..hell more hip hop influence would be amazing just to see what it's like
Ik it's all essentially vocaloid but Playboi Carti is basically a vocaloid artist as well since he intentionally slurs and mumbles his words over Sega Genesis inspired beats something not to far from what vocaloid songs are like
Oh my gosh that would be so fucking sick if there was a screamo rap band
would love to see more hip hop-and-rap-based groups
Diss-Pair would be most similar from your type of music. The vocalist has
really husky vocals in seasick. If you enjoy metal or synth this is the duo for you :)
Kagi’s an inkling? Dude I thought he was a sea cucumber or something
😭😭
Just wanted to say your new avatar is really great! I think it’s worked super well w/ the presentation of the past 2 vids. ^^ And ofc great research, as always.
Ink Theory and Bottom Feeders are definitely my favorite
Fin bottom holds her bow in the completely wrong place lmao
Amazing stuff! Thanks for your sacrifice. Now we know more about the super interesting lore.
I wish you had mentioned the raian vs ryan romanization, but you got halfway there so I'm not complaining.
I know I said it before but I'ma say it again.
There should be a Splatoon band that is dedicated toward making music that is in the style of the music played in Doom games. Or the kind in Cyberpunk 2077.
"Marlin Przybylowicz? Hmm. Never heard that musician before. I wonder what his music is like..."
"Oooh I wonder who Ink Gordon is..."
ok this comment has been in my head as ive been working on my next video. part 3 will have something you might enjoy ;)
@@rassicas Haha I like where this is going
Yoko has risen in splatoon 3 and her new bands music slaps!
i love these videos , i love all the details and lore in splatoon and i love learning about it too but i have like the smallest attention span ever so i can never get enough focus to actually read about it myself , but ur splat videos are so much easier to focus on and theyre rlly interesting too ! so thank u!!! i rlly enjoy them ♡ ( ^ ^ )
ooooo fun lore 👀💖
Man these videos are so cool :) They really help the wait for Splat. 3 feel shorter.
God I hope we can see more of Ink Theory and Bottom Feeders in Splatoon 3, their music is so original and different from the rest of the groups, and also they rock so hard!!
babe wake up new splatoon lore video just dropped
Yes ma’am...
Yo I shit you not seeing this on my home page made me smile, was fully lookin forward to vid lol hope it blows up B)
“Seaweed isn’t actually a plant, so don’t worry”
THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME LESS WORRIED, WTF IS IT THEN
i am so glad that im subscribed to this channel your notifications literally make my week (also thanks to you I now know who made my favourite song, and it's ink theory so shout out to the best badass women band)
Thanks for covering the more obscure lore of Splatoon :)
HELL YEAH ANOTHER SPIKEY DRUMMER FRIEND
You literally became my favorite RUclipsr
i love fin bottom
14:21 well that definition of Karen from Japan doesn’t fly well outside of Japan
It can be assumed yōk0 is in super form in some of the art because of the heavy wind that her tentacles seem to be going through. Maybe that’s how she plays trumpet so much
Glad to see Yoko is still kickin it with the Golden Bazookas
unironically ink theory is one of my favorite bands in general
I am the 5th son of the great priest of girth.
Been waiting for this for 6 days
It would be nice to have the band members walking in splatlands, not a fan of male idols but it would be nice
YESSS ^^
See, Bottom Feeders is the kind of chaotic Celtic punk energy like Dropkick Murphys that would be 100% appropriate to have a bar fight to, and I think that's beautiful. Fin totally captures the vibe, especially being a betta/Thai fighting fish.
ink theory is the best of the splatoon 2 bands
wakey wakey rassicas posted new lore video
17:50 WHAT!!! See that just made me go from worriing about splatoon lore to worriing about real life lore.
Ok so they are Algae. That's not to bad. Still weird to evolve into sentiance though as they don't have any neurons to start with. Where is the brain for these sentiant seedweeds?
Fin from bottom feeders is a betta fish and betta fish are known to be fairly aggressive so it made sense why they made her hot headed and aggressive
This is so cool! I wanted to learn about the music in splatoon for a while but I couldn't get to it thank you for making this :)
WHEN
WILL
SPLATOON
LORE
BE
IN
SPLATOON
?!???!?!?!?!??
(I know this will bite me when they DO put the lore in splatoon... but only the Japanese version BECAUSE JAPAN IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT EXISTS APPARENTLY)
Suspicion: The Bottom Feeders all having the last name 'Bottom' would be an obvious reference to The Ramones, a punk band responsible for 'Blitzkrieg Bop.'
"She often falls for people who are self degrading." Same, aachin, same 😭
damn, i missed the premiere yesterday because of mcc, but anyways. good video! i think the bands of this era are all really good. they're all super underrated imo. bottom feeders my beloved.
I can't wait until you go over deadfish, she's my favorite
17:05
Tiny nitpick, it’s pronounced keltic rather than seltic in all contexts except for when talking about the football club.
Love the videos, looking forward to part three.
ah! ive heard both pronunciations, but i didnt know the context for when to use 'seltic' or 'keltic'. i probably picked up other people's misusages LOL
I think Kagi does have exactly what Rassicas said but maybe something else that could support it is that his ear and ankles are slightly brownish so maybe that’s his natural color
And maybe they didn’t mention why he’s blue in canon because it might be rude like almost asking a person why their skin is the way it is Yk?
