Dawg C-Side is FERAL, those drunk Squeets must have been high-profile drama for months
Laughing at the word squeet. It’s such a silly word!
LMAO do you think in-universe they’re considered a “problematic” band??
@@breachboii in-universe, it's probably controversial to admit you listen to them to the point as soon as you say you like a song from them, the room goes silent and everybody just looks at you weird. It doesn't even matter if you pirate their music, you're getting judged. 😭
I would like to see Beika play the ukulele.......
The funny thing is can definitely see them in current day Twitter. God knows I’ve definitely seen just as unhinged post from some pseudo-celebrities on the past
Chirpy Chips is probably the most disfunctional band at face value, but somehow is the only band between all three games that have consistantly been popular and not broken up or changed members. Just a buncha friends vibing and making stuff when they feel like it.
that’s why they’re so good lol !!
huge paramore energy for sure
KNEEL BEFORE BAND WITH BENEFITS
The fact that Beika got ratio’d on socials is so funny because you know someone at Nintendo HQ sat down and deliberately chose those numbers. It’s a small detail that works so well to show how controversial C-Side is in-universe. I love this so much.
Hypothetically baker could've gotten the entirety of c-side cancelled because of how hammered they were and had balls bigger than their brain
30 minute college lecture (can give me powerful knowledge that I have to use for my desired career): ❌️
30 minutes of Splatoon band lore (the funni aquatic people have juicy drama): ✅️
and some funy marine animals knowlegde
Hey you can pass it off as marine biology if you can make a good enough argument
Pearl spending 200 million to make clothes out of a space suit is "Yep, that sounds like the kind of thing she'd do."
That transition from the Game Theory bit into Ink Theory was absolutely genius
It’s been 2 years…
Not gonna lie that was a pretty long wait
@@dasdersgamingchannel4590there was quite literally nothing about the bands for 2 years, and there still isn’t anything major about the new bands now
ITS BEEN SO LONG
No kidding
To the point,I like it.
Omega 3's lore is endlessly funny to me. Salmonids pride themselves in dying, yet these three said "screw it, we're gonna make music instead!"
Dude they are the reason I named my small fry the cousin of the babysitter of the dog walkers dentists neice of the true salmonid emperor
Get beika under control😭 first starting shit w ichiya now thirsting over fin💀
GEEEEEELP ACTUALLY LAUGHED MORE THAN I SHOULDVE AT THISCOMMENT
Ikkan _(I do not accept the name Quinn, I'm sorry-)_ just ditching the room when asked if Squid Squad could ever get back together is hilarious. Dude really took that "Just walk out - YOU CAN LEAVE!" meme to heart and never looked back.
I like the idea that he was on a stool during the interview and knocked it over as he got up, adding insult to injury.
Reminds me of how Kanye just walks out of interviews
@@MaxenceBerrier Ikkanye
@@sapphiresupernova why did it translate to "calm down"
Dang, Pearl's sweater being worth over a million USD is absolutely ridiculous--
Man, I love when writers give us crazy information that no one asked for, its great.
I mean if you think about it I'm not surprised a retrofitted space suit would cost that much
Ah Splatoon, where the interpersonal and legal drama between characters that never appear in game is more sensical (in universe) and coherent than the main plot of the 3rd game.
It wasn’t _that_ bad…
I was gonna say the woomified "QRTs" meme was funny, because it implies that the weird mascot character who may or may not be related to the amusement park is derived from some cartoon series, and that they starred in some sort of Squid _Kingdom Hearts._
But then I checked Inkipedia to figure out whether it has a name, and it turns out (1) his name is 'Fresh Fish' (2) he _is_ in fact the mascot of Wahoo World (3) he's been in multiple (presumably animated) films (4) he plays a supporting role in a modern video game with a main theme composed by a popular band (Off The Hook). *Good cod, there already **_is_** a Squid Kingdom Hearts.*
Pearl being like "nah were going to the moon" and then getting an authentic astronaut jacket made is the most Pearl thing Ive ever heard 😂
I love hearing the story of all the band members!!! Look forward to learning whatever we can about the new bands coming in future updates as well!
I like how Front Roe has a Squid Squad feel but like more mature, like you can tell the Squid Squad members have become more experienced since their time as Squid Squad
It's worth mentioning as well that the Happy Little Workers motif is also in the five "rocket" OSTs that play as you are ascending the rocket. On the Splatune 3 official CD it's called "Thrilling Corporate News". The tune plays with rocket sounds and humans in the background as if it's a recording. I think this and the title further imply the motif was definitely involved with the humans in alterna in some capacity (which is pretty chilling lol).
I always guessed that they're called Damp Socks feat. Off The Hook because it relates to Wet Floor. You got wet floors, you get damp socks. Could also be something about their "busy vacation", walking around the world means your feet sweat a lot, right? or maybe these new members are 'dipping their toes' into professional music performance
17:58 Jessika's drip is fucking insane goddamn
Why can't we have those kinds of outfits in-game >:(
Jessika quickly became one of my favorite characters the instant I saw her
@@OriginalGameteerSplatoon fans latching onto characters with almost no information and creating more complex and realistic characters than most Hollywood writers:
Ngl I thought it was Callie at first
Oh boy, I can’t wait to learn more about my favorite band, Hightide Era, surely something new happened over the past 2 years!
😭😭😭😭😭😭
15:46 something about there being a mistranslation underneath the phrase "Polish isn't everything" is so funny to me.
I hope Twitter is called Squitter in their universe
Squidder
Yoko and the Gold Bazookas continues to be my fsvorite band. But I've always wondered about the vagueness of the jam session Yoko attended. Cause I think it was said somewhere that it was a seven person jam session, and that gives me the impression that, since Yoko seems to have gone on her own, Kitamura and Oonie just... followed her to Splatsville without her knowledge.
But that's just a theory
An ink theory!
A GAME... wait.
Grizzco logo real quick: The earth consists of a salmon as the white part, in the jaws of a bear which is the orange part (Salmon's tailfin is the bear's nose, salmon's gills and mouth are the bear's lower jaw and tongue). So much cool imagery. It gives the impression that the hidden meaning is the bear biting the world, because of the way Salmon Run is but a means to fuel and feed his goals.
Wha-? WHOA! I never saw the bear! AAAAHHHHHH!!
Also, the border containing the logo and wordmarks straight up has bear ears~
@@lrgogo1517 YO UR RIGHT! Wow good stuff
I can't wait for part 5! One little detail i've already noticed:
you mention how it seems like Kiki left C-Side at one point and then rejoined. Well in the album art for the new band, Riot Act, there's Kiki, standing alongside the other members of the band. It's so cool the amount of detail they put into these fictional squid bands.
But that's just a theory.
A GA-
ink theory
I adore Splatoon's design philosophy when it comes to their fictional bands. There are so many wacky and unique character designs and interesting backstories, it's tragic that we're probably never gonna see them appear in game.
IM LOSING IT. Rassicas blessing us once again
MUSIC LORE! MUSIC LORE! MUSIC LORE! YEAAAAH
Can't wait for splatbomberguy's video on C-Side's plagarism
i need merch of splatoon bands or else i will explode
The monkeys paw curls, they make it and it'll be exclusive to a Japanese pop up store for 2 weeks lol
noooooooooooo
i need ikkan plush
hightide era having no new lore or songs in years makes me so sad PLEASE COME BACK GUYS WAAAAHH
"That's a good question." *immediately goes aways.*
Pro move.
BEIKA C-SIDE SPOTTED!!!
I love beika c-side so much. From his orange beautiful, short and taken well off hair to his amazing grey skin, almost like a homestuck troll. His earrings are so beautiful and pretty it makes me wanna giggle and spill water on my feet. His pants are so pretty and well take care off, aswell. Makes me wonder where he buys his clothes. Maybe goodwill? No, probably walmart. He's so pretty and funny and his beautiful raspy voice gives me butterflies. Hes wayy better than the other members because hes so hot and pretty. His eyes resemble that of a star, or a south park character. I wish i could meet him. I would give him a green apple. Just like his shirt. His beautiful, green t-shirt. His voice is heavenly, like an angels call. Especially when he asks what my mother said. He makes me giggle and he makes lidia emo. I love Beika because hes a cute senpai. I love beika because he is superior. Hes so cute and tall and he looks like lincoln loud from heaven. I love lincoln loud. The way he just stands there is mesmerizing. Its heavenly. HE is heavenly. Such a beautiful man cannot exist outside a screen.
^most normal c-side fan
THIS IS LIKE SOME SORT OF COPYPASTA
@@FaerinnyFae KINDA YES
@@MuraNue delightful
Ah, I see: this is a satire of an IN-universe ‘normal’ beika fan desperately trying to defend beika since presumably everyone else hates him so much. Thank you @BassBeika , very cool 😗👍
HELL YEAH I LOVE NICHE SPLATOON LORE, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE MUSIC!!!! *rips off shirt like that one werewolf reaction image
Can’t wait for the in depth explanation of big man as a band member
You Know What'd Be Nice? A Misconception Video. Basically Just Going Over A Bunch Of Things Fans Constantly Get Wrong, Like The Octolings Wearing Hypnoshades, Little Buddy Being A Pet Or The Existence Of Turfling Species Beyond Inklings And Octolings (As Well As Those Two Unnamed Cuttlefish Idols). I Know You've Talked About Most Of These Already, But I Think Compiling Them All Into One Neat, Ten Or So Minute Video Would Be Very Convenient For Educating People.
Also Have You Ever Considered Doing More Speculation Or Theory-Crafting? Whether It Be For The Future Of Splatoon, Or Unsolved Mysteries Like The "Save Our Salmons" Art.
What’s with capitalisation here
i just realised orion's shirt is pink floyd lmao. I guess pink floyd'd music outlasted humanity
Ink Floyd.
this might get drowned out but i wanted to bring up the possibility of tosh being a humanoid sea cucumber (it would be like a case of squids+inklings being separate species in the same universe, AKA cq cumber and tosh are separate species). tosh displays pentaradial symmetry in their design (5 teeth) which is a trait specific to echinoderms like urchins and sea cucumbers. their hair, though odd in coloration, may be the innards of a cucumber, which would explain why only their head is not made of "hair." these innards also typically contain some sort of toxin, which could be why their name is toxy in japanese. i really only see them being a blue button from the hair coloration and toxins.
Harmony and Baker are really just the problematic meow meows of splatoon lead singers huh
Yeah baby that’s what I’ve been waiting for
that's what it's all about!
wooooo
I still can't get over some of the localized names
Like why change Ikkan's name to 'Quinn' but still keeping Ichiya's name the same?? 😭😭😭
You know what I want? Another splatoon concert, except it’s not just preformed by the idols. You know when the other game’s songs are played between idol songs they play gameplay songs?
I wanna see band members preform that. Like 3D models and mocap, the whole shebang. Yeah it’ll be expensive because they’d have to make whole new assets for one instance only which is why they won’t do that. But still it’s such a cool thing to think about.
28:00
Marina is playing a grand piano...... If a single string was to break she would at best get a new haircut.... Or be decapitated without pain.... If all strings broke, all hell was loose
I really hope we get to see more band characters in person in the future. It didn't take long after splatoon 3 coming out for harmony to become my favorite character, plus we get to see deadfish in side order, i think its really cool.
a while back i made a splatoon OC who's lore was that he moved to the splatlands and styled himself as a nasty punk rocker because he became obsessed with c-side, and even gave himself a spikey beard because he thought walter looked so cool
finding out they're really Like That in canon just makes it fit so much more lmao
10:50 I The way this line was delivered, it felt like you could hear Rassicas clenching their fist whilst trying to play it off as if its okay.
they LIVE they LIVE!!!!! ok but like I love the fact that the inklings canonically think h2woah's music is pretentious and annnoying but still kinda good. Love the Inkopolis and splatsville dichotamy. I see the dis-pair english names and I simply look away ✨ 😊
Baker is wild for thinking squid squad isn’t hard, they go twice as hard
The story of squid squad is my hyper fixation I’m begging for any food…
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! I LOVE THE SPLATBANDS SO MUCH I CANT DO THIS!!! Aaahh!!! Thank you thank you RASSICAS!!
(Sorry for being mental in the live chat) 😭
i lovre cxrw dside
YOOO YOU’RE HERE TOO
agreed like holy shit splatband content no way
(I’m not stalking you I swear I promise)
@@evilpossessedcat9572 HELLPPPP IM BEING STALKED!!! /j
No but UGHHH I LOVE SPLATBANDS!!!
Bruh if Garris is an Octoling in swim form, imagine how big their Octoling form is…
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
Also my splatoon 1 and haikara walker artbooks just arrived
RAHHHHHH!
Gonna use that lovely English translation you guys put out recently while looking through it.
Amazing video Rassicas! Always appreciate the amount of depth your videos have, and it's fun to learn more about these obscure details that the game hardly acknowledges. Learned so much from this as always.
Yesterdayvi went to watch rassicas and i saw they renumbered the old lore of the splatoon bands to have a 4 at the end. Thats when i knew we were gonna be eating good soon
Pearl spending millions on her outfit does nothing bit reinforce her goat status for me. Trully the realest there is 💪
The way the hightide Era one abruptly ends is so funny XDDD
I initially thought Tao Blu was possibly fried, which is probably not the case, but I like the Irony of a practice done on food being preformed on one of the most deadly animals out there.
martin looks like a gooseworx character
25:04 perfect timing with the song
Finally... more splatoon to rot my brain with until Splatoon 3 DLC releases...❤
In regards to Tao Blu's hair, I remember seeing that a new trend in splatoon 3 was inklings/octolings deep frying their hair to give it that crustiness. Im assuming tao blu decided to hop on the trend.
Sad about the lack of information on the human bands in Alterna, I have been trying to crack the code on the meanings of their names for a bit now so I was hopeful that you would have had more luck. Anyways, great video as always!
I would love to see a follow up to the salmonid lore video with everything we know about them now in S3
HELL YEAH MANNNN!!! SPLATOON BANDS ROCK🔥🔥
Considering how much they look like Frisk, it makes sense for Orion to use they/them lol
Thank you I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every single video about Splatoon in my quest to satiate my need for Splatoon until the DLC
I love how diverse the Splatoon devs went with the species of these bandmates, they are really creative and shows that there are way more species in the Splatoon universe than we see, it fills the world so to say
Really excited for a part 5 if there ever is one, the side order has some wierd info that seems contradictary to some of the other info in the magizeens and espacially relating to deadfish.
I probably won’t retain a lot of this but I sure do love learning about it!
9:53 omg Neil Cicierega 😍😍😍😍😍
Neil jumpscare
HELPPPP STOP 😭😭
3:29 I'm pretty sure the album jacket mentions 004clam originally being a studio musician before joining front roe
23:10 mimicry could also potentially be one person mimicking other people since all the band mates look to have the same basic outline. Or maybe it’s just a pair of quintuplets who knows.
Chill video alert! Get your relax kit ready!

alternative, he/she user pearl
this is such a fun series!! thank you for all the effort you put into these!!
11:37 There's the fan translated names, then the Japanese names translated to English, but unless I am mistaken, you didn't show the official localized names of Omega-3, which I was expecting to see how similar they were to the fan-translated names. Other than that nitpick of mine (that could just be me misunderstanding the part of the video about my beloved Salmonid lore), Great stuff as always Rassicas, glad to see a new vid from ya :)
you are mistaken, those are the official localized names shown below the fan translated names ! you can check splatoon base to see for yourself.
@@rassicas Ahh I gotcha, my apologies.
There’s still one important question… why does baker from C-side look like Lincoln loud?
New Bands just dropped lmao
Are you going to do a “in which rasiccas plays side order”
SO GOOD TO SEE A NEW VIDEO FROM YOU!!! i feel like yours is the only voice i enjoy hearing Splatoon lore from on youtube, you have such an,,, intellectual way of talking about it? you also just have a nice voice in general
LOVED THIS VIDEO !! Lots of fun info in ur vids every time and i love all the explanation behind the etymology of their names !! And that info about H2Whoa being made possible by the script decipherers like you is so fitting!! ALSO YIPPIE NEW SPLATBAND DROPPED SO SOON AFTER THIS VIDEO CAME OUT!!! Thats more content for whenever u feel like doing part 5 :D excited to get to know more about O.C.K./riot act as time goes on‼️
RASSICASSS i missed your splatoon videos thank you for the content!
I hope you had a good break and also to Splatoon 3 playing other side when you get a chance
I’ve been waiting for EONS.
When you announced it yesterday I set a timer!
i NEVER thought this was coming out. you’re a legend.
Rassicas, its been 5 years, you still owe me 15 dollars
I was just watching the previous parts! Thank you!
Its been a while since the last upload, glad to see a new vid
Let’s goooo! Been waiting for this video for so long!
Tao blu is so adorable. I love her
New video? Let’s go! I love your content and hope you keep up the good work!
Oh you don't know how bad I needed this. Thank you rassicas !
I'm so happy to see rassicass again omggg :))))), their splatband series was always my favorite (besides that one video where they covered that random ass magazine that covered stuff from OE lmao)
I like how poetic the names of Omega 3 are, i immagine Salmonids get their names through notable things about them, like places of birth or certain things they have done, i immagine their names get longer as their lifes goe on due to them archieving more things.
Would love to get a more in depth look into Salmonid Culture in a future Splatoon game.
iv been waiting thanks so much amazing video
I’m sort of sad you didn’t point out the motif thing in sudden depth!! it’s really similar to the eight legged advance one which means it could be the origin of it, which i find quite intriguing :}
i've never heard about this and i'm struggling to hear what parts are similar myself, do you have more info?
@@rassicas at the start of the fourth version it sound pretty familiar, i listened to it again and it’s a little harder to notice then I remember. The first three notes of the motif are noticeable but not enough to be clearly a reference, but the motif is continued, just a lot quieter (I think it’s a choir doing the rest?) and moreso in the background. I don’t know if it was actually intentional since the alterna music doesn’t have a lot of info, but considering how much they use the eight legged motif it seems plausible
So excited!! 🥹
