-to clarify, Dedf1sh's first name is Ahato, last name Mizuta. In the video I flipped the ordering for Taichi's name (in the book it was written Sawaberu Taichi) but didn't do the same for Dedf1sh, whoops!
-one more off-handed example of an artist with no music: in the second artbook, it was mentioned there's an urchin punk rock band that performed at starfish mainstage. the japanese name of starfish mainstage, as well as the logo on the stage, references sea urchins instead of starfish, so this makes sense.
Ik this is off topic but what are your pronouns? I just want to make sure I'm using the right ones.
Why are the song transitions so LOUD? It's jarring...

Dang, the idea that Dedf1sh just wonders around, still making music after she's been sanitized is really creepy...
Well, now that Tartar and his company is down, what else could she do but follow her tastes?
I think it was confirmed that she was only partially sanitized! that's why she still has some red on her tentacles. she wanted to be somewhat sanitized so that she could more easily dedicate herself to her music without getting tired or burnt out. so it's not to hard to believe that she would continue making sick beats
@@pajamaapants5016 rassicas clarified that she isn't partially sanitized, but that part of her was willing to be sanitized.
@@MinatheRaichu Regardless of that mistranslation, I still think Dedf1sh (or Acht) was partially sanitized.
so if deadf1sh knows all music that means is both classically trained and can do some brutal ass metal breakdowns if she wanted
She could give Octavio a run for his classical instrumental money :/c
Honestly I love the idea that Pearl was the previous Sashimori vocalist because it either means that Marina brought out the best in her and that's why she doesn't control their music that much, or that despite her control freak tendencies, she has such strong faith in her partner that she can let her write without taking control.
“I can fix her!”
-Someone who fixed her
or sashi mori just brought out the worst in pearl
Cant wait to also dump this lore on my poor friends who dont even play splatoon
LOL SAMEE
I have 2 friends who now know the entirety of the splatoon lore despite never playing splatoon, highkey feel bad
me and my significant other do this but the deal is I dump splatoon lore and he dumps metal gear lore its a win win tbh
i introduced the game to my sister entirely so i had another person to infodump about its lore to
@@Scetileaf I wish to have a relationship like that 🛐
Voice samples instead of vocals... Paul’s just a YTP maker isn’t he
paul absolutely would make the best YTPs
IT’S ALL RIGHT THERE AT YOUR TENTATIPS
I am now imagining one of the in universe songs we don't here has the Wilhelm scream mixed in by Paul, along with some samples of Never Gonna Give You Up and We Are Number One, but due to him not understanding english, he doesn't realize how much of a meme mashup that would be
me listening to t+pazolite's songs be like
lamp ink? seaweed rope? splat bombs? you want it? it's yours my friend, so long as you have enough cash
sorry linkling, I can't give credit. come back when you're a little, mmm... fresher!
In Japan, Turquoise October is called OCTOTOOL. This is probably a reference to the band Tool but maybe I’m reading too much into it
Anyways now whenever I listen to Tool music I think of splatoon so yeah🐙
dang, i shouldve mentioned that! i listen to Tool too sometimes so now im gonna think the same LOL
I like tool and slipknot
And Metallica
Now that I think about it, this name goes perfectly with the oppression of the Octosociety. The octarians are used as tools to further aid in the oppression.
@@polari7658 yeah! Good observation
The idea of Paul and Ahato being siblings made me really sad, especially thinking about Paul probably escaped while she did not, and maybe he even learned his music skills from her. Just a fun headcanon to explore :)
I'm adopting that headcanon because I love it
a popular headcanon is that deadf1sh got sanitized under her own volition and her song names are what she felt during the sanitization. im pretty sure theres a video about it
haha side order go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
(dedf1sh exists again)
@@koiyune favorite splatband character 😎😎😎
Who else has a thing of blabbering about random video game lore to your friends? Cause I do.
Yes…
That’s called being neurodivergent
lmao yep
Every time I get in a voice call with my friends there is like a 33% chance I just go off about some lore from a game or show I like.
Yes but my frined luvs to hear it now she luvs Marie and Callie
Side order really puts both d3df1sh and Marina in completely new lights with the lore, I love it
on page 196 of the Splatoon 2 art book, the page about starfish main stage, there’s mention of a sea-urchin punk band having recently played there. it’s probably just some one off thing but i thought it was interesting.
DAMN i totally forgot about them!!!!! that wouldve been perfect to talk about under the musicians with no music section.
So here's my theory for the CoroCoro songs: Ikkan, former member of the squid squad, tried to go solo after the band broke up. For what I know, Bassists can easily learn to play other guitars and for the drums, he could've just used a drumboard or drumset or idk how it's called. This theory is based on nothing but the fact that Ikkan used to be very passionate about music and I'm not sure that you can stop producing music if you're that invested in it. So maybe this came from a time between his Squid squad and his DissPair Time :3
Wait so if Octavio and Callie were at the deep sea rave than does that mean octavio’s cool now?! Like how did either one of them agree to collaborate together
callie may have initially joined octavio willingly out of sympathy for the octarians. i dont think octavio is totally terrible.
Or.... Probably Octavio was just carted there in his snow globe by Callie.... Yeaaaaa.....?
well duh callie put back on her hypnoshades
I was wondering if the companies whose advertisements you see in many stages have some lore behind them. Seeing how there is this much lore about bands, there surely must be something about that?
rizirone made a video about the brands of splatoon and that covers it fairly thoroughly. there unfortunately is little to no info about the brands beyond the clothing and gear brands.
that being said, i MIGHT make a video about the article i mentioned at the start of the video, and the sally and hara wataru interview. those talk a bit more about not only some gear brands (mostly firefin), but also graffiti in inkopolis.
Man, I love Diss-Pair, such a great duo, too bad they got overshadowed by SashiMori
I’ve always assumed that the 5 note Turquoise October beat that Marina uses in the Ebb and Flow demo is an Octarian melody that everybody just knows. It’s so natural that you just put it in your music. Octavio even uses it in the Splatoon 2 boss fight, by actually pitching Callie’s voice into that melody. Much like him brainwashing her, he’s even turned her singing into more Octarian singing.
It's like the octarian version of The Riff
ok but i wanna know even more about the low water party like- you cant just tell me dedf1sh was just there in the shadows and dj octavio and callie also randomly showed up. gosh, why does splatoon have so much lore.
Yeah honestly like, after the eventa of splatoon 2 hero mode, you're gonna tell me that Octavio's performing for random peeps? What, did callie and marie cart him to the show in his snow globe cage?
@@ZizZap4 probably, unless he has escaped again or he's good now
The idea that Octavio just shows up performing at a festival with musicians from the Inkling world like they aren't his mortal enemies lol
what if the low water party became the start for an Octavio redemption of sorts
@@Ender-the-strange Octavio also made the mixtape on the latest Splatoon CD album where he remixed Inkling music as well, so this would make sense!
Seeing the idol group at 20:45 has me thinking, what is it with idols in the splatoon universe and having matching beauty marks? Both the squid sisters and off the hook have them too!
Makeup
Now that we have Splatoon 3, the new idols don't have them. Maybe an inkopolis fashion thing? Or maybe just a coincidence.
@@aoiyuuter it's most likely due to splatsville and inkopolis' cultural differences (and i guess conflict..)
Could be wrong but I believe Diss-Pair was the first band to have the member's officially named on Social Media before Haikara Walker was published and the other Splatband member's names were revealed. Idk if there's a reason for this but eh, just a little random fun fact.
I have a Theory/HC about Dedf1sh’s music titles: maybe in the way they were numbered, They were written based off of the way Dedf1sh felt in the sanitation PROCESS, as she felt her memory fade away, she documented her progression.
Everywhere at the Blend of Time.
I hope you someday feel a desire to talk about more lore regarding the bands and music of Splatoon, even if its about the already-often talked about the squid sisters and marina+pearl, just because I love hearing you talk about it all
Or I mean, to be honest, any splatoon lore at all is always a treat no matter what it is
I like the idea that Marina's "wasabi supply unit" thing is either a codename for a design team for the Octobot King, or something related to turquoise october- makes it seem less like a dumb downgrade and fit in better.
Ok so hear me out. Warabi and ikkan should be the idols for splatoon 3. They're chaotic in relationship, making them a perfect fit, and dude idols would be an awesome change for the next game.
I’d love for them to get audio recordings and 3d models for the game!
That would be nice, but I want some new characters.
i would ADORE this but i cant help but feel itll be new characters. at least having one male idol would be nice though...
oh god i pray this is the case, this would be so sick. the theme of chaos doesn’t exactly lend itself too well to another set of pop idols (+ i am kind of bored of them at this point)
It could be cool if the bands did the idol announcements swapping up semi regularly, but it could be either great or horrible, and I don’t think it’d happen due to the high modeling, animation, and writing requirements. It would also be great if the announcements were simplified, streamlined, removed, or modernized, and it looks like it might be simplified into a cellphone screen
The fact that the devs and creator of this franchise gave such deep lore to something usually simply appreciated like music wich in every game, movie and tv show is just background to create the mood really adds spice to this already fantastic franchise
Ikkan and warabi ennemies to lovers arc ???
I think that Callie was Brainwashed into working with Turquoise October based on some art, so I always thought that Callie was subconsciously trying to send a message for help to anyone
I don’t know why, but the songs by Turquoise October are some of my favorites in the entire franchise. Something about the weird samples and burpy bass sounds is just super interesting and… almost kinda badass? Idk, it feels like the wrong word to use, but the songs just feel so otherworldly, yet also familiar.
17:21 Ah yes. At Doom's Gate.
Or, in this case, *At Woom's Gate*.
Woom eternal: splat and tear
yea I forgot how to count
I can't even express how much I appreciate your channel taking such a detailed look into splatoon lore. You made me love the game even more
I would love someone to upload the unused squid squad song from the corocoro trailer 😩😩😩
y know what, ill put a link in the description to the corocoro videos, as they can be hard to find otherwise since its in japanese!
I could really see that unused “Squid squad” song being in splatoon 3, which seems like it’ll feature the squid squad again and focus on more heavy music
now that you mentioned that dedf1sh's songs are numbered in the order that she made them, i think that maybe she just didn't like the ones that arent listed as much as the others
The thing I love about the Splatoon world is how in depth and insane the lore is. The art for the bands or any promotional material for the game is insanely good and so much love and care went into every character design in this series.
octoling genetic predisposition to be a dj
Hey Rassicas, you like splatoon? Name every ink color ever.
In Octo expansion, it’s confirmed that marina made Ebb & Flow Demo with an old Octarian keyboard, which likely had the samples from the turquoise October music!
I-
After hearing about the Low Water Party I might not think about anything else for a month.
The work and effort you put in your videos is just amazing
i hope the LWP is treated as canon going forward cause like, dang I want dedf1sh to be ok.
I just got my copy of Haikara Walker in the mail yesterday, and when I got to the timeline immediately thought "hey, Rassicas still has a Part 3 video about the bands coming soon." Anyway, just gonna write my thoughts on specific things in the video.
Love getting additional ABXY/Chirpy Chips info, since they're my favorite band.
As for why Dedf1sh has some missing song numbers, my head canon is that she might have not liked those songs as much, and decided to just not use them.
That Corocoro song for Emperor is fire. I'm planning on buying the Splatoon manga very soon, so hearing about it here of all places was interesting.
19:36 Looking at the texture files for the CDs, It would appear that only the blue and pink are actually there. Maybe the one with the Inkling was scrapped pretty early on, since there isn't an unused texture for it, at least in the final game.
20:24 I'm glad you covered this, because I saw this in Haikara Walker and thought "Hey, who are these two? What's their deal?" so it's cool to see them talked about.
As for DJ SANGO, I really hope we get music by him in Splatoon 3, whether it be for single player or multiplayer. I just don't want this to turn into a Red from Pokémon situation where they're only there as a silent character who shows up for one thing and then leaves.
I hope the LWP is canon. Crazy theory/head canon time, but what if creatures going missing during the LWP helped kick start the whole Chaos thing.
Anyway, that's all from me. Can't wait to see what video you do next. Keep up the great work.
i think that the reason that marina, TO, and octavio's music use similar instruments and sampling techniques is probably something to do with ocrarian music standards. Due to the opressive nature of their culture and society, they might be forced to use specific DAWs or soundfonts, or their music must have to fit certain guidelines to be broadcasted. In fact, those guidelines might be based off of Octavio's tracks since he is their dictator.
18:38 "i'd love to have this kind of music in the game" well... now we have it in splatoon 3!!! C side has the song "paintscraper" which sounds very metal xD
I wonder how that splatoon 1 blue haired idol is doing
Wow! I can't believe I was mentioned by rassicas!! Thanks so much!
I love the attention to detail that Nintendo put into Splatoon music, from the bands to the songs and everything in between. I only wish that they would make this information more accessible for Splatoon fans and players...
Which is why I'm ecstatic that this channel exists and that you started this series! So many inklings would be in the dark without you!
Thanks again!
(Also 888th like... Coincidence? I think not!)
14:04 lol imagine if those records were a important war plans or people calling for help that would never come
Finally the based trilogy is complete.
Yes
this aged like milk
We now have splatoon 3
I thought I was a big splatoon fan until I found your channel lmao i LOVE these lore videos they always give me so much inspiration to do art and comics. I can literally listen to you talk about the history of a poster in inkopolis or smth like that for hours and wouldn't get bored.
I HAVE A THEORY ON SQUID SQUAD! You know how the Splatoon 3 trailer has one of their songs? I think they get back together. Their music would totally fit the chaos theme.
You called it!
17:52
*_i fell in love-_*
I just remembered that splatoon 3 is a thing and that there will be new music............WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(side order speculation, so maybe don't look if you don't want to be spoiled): after the trailer, i'm really expecting paul to show up sometime during the DLC.
they hinted at dedf1sh and marina performing together in the past, and that was apparently true, pretty simply: the two go "way back". so i don't think the paul-dedf1sh connection is just a rumor either
paul and dedf1sh sharing that symbol on their hats is already interesting. but what really seals it for me is that, that symbol also appears on the weird machine at the end of the new trailer. so it's definitely gonna be expanded on, i think
I was waiting for this! Dedf1sh is my favorite splatoon character/song maker and eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sashimori on finding Paul: this our son now
Great video!!!
I hope that maybe in the next game we could see these bands perform for splatfest instead of just the same song every single time or maybe they could even air new songs during splatfests
I actually love marina being in the backstories of so many other octoling musicians. You can really see her building a community, finding people with similar experiences, etc. It's super sweet!
This was a great miniseries! It was neat to learn more about the Low Water Party and about the Corocoro trailer music. Keep up the great work, and I can’t wait to see more from you in the future!
sashimori was my number one favorite band because of entropical, now i love them more knowing they use human voices to make music-
Ahh I see, hidden Pokémon origin lore.
Really interesting though
Seeing that DJ Octavio Collabs with Callie probably without using Mind control is actually pretty wholesome.
And now we have Side Order
Imagine kicking out your old band member only for her to become more popular than you.
BABE WAKE UP NEW SPLATOON LORE VIDEO
Well then. Splatoon's bands have more lore than most series I watch. I could see a whole story surrounding the bands tbh, and I'd watch/play it. I was gonna make a comic about them too, but oh god there's a lot of bands.
is no one gonna talk about what the music was during the train scene in the splatoon 3 trailer? It could be a new band/artist or a hint to the new popstars!
Omg guys, I've just practicaly finished the game, plus Octo Expansion, and know I can understant and watch all of these funny and interesting Splatoon videos. I really like your channel! The videos are great!
20:50 this reminds of that one skit i heard on a robert glasper tape where the guy introducing the band said this about the dj: “oh, he’s the nastiest dj in the world!... but he dresses horribly. that boy got on some weed pants, and shoes to match!”
For the First Emperor Gear Set ad I think that song sounds like a remix of Metalopod by Squid Squad. The drums sound similar and it would explain why the vocals sound like Ikkan
i dont think it's a remix, the instruments and "lyrics" are different. i think its a separate song
@@rassicas Possibly, it might be one of those situations where I hear it because I’m looking for it
Honestly, these videos are easy to put on as background.
I don’t play Splatoon anymore (at least, not as much as I would like to), but just hearing you talk about random lore for half an hour helps me get a lot of things done. Thanks.
Love this series! how about maybe videos about the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or DJ Octavio? They all probably have some obscure lore that not many people know about lol
you may be surprised to learn that there isnt really much obscure lore on the idols, probably because theyre so popular! people have dug up p much all there is on them. that and because im honestly not as invested in the idols compared to much of the fanbase, dont expect me to make a video on them anytime soon. if i make a video about them then maybe itd be about my experience seeing them live LOL. real life splatoon lore.
however, ive had a rough idea for an octavio video but not sure when or even if i'll do it. theres not too much info on him either.
FOR THE SASHIMORI FISH WITH SMALL HANDS HE COULD USE HIS TAIL!! ITS A THEORY I JUST THOUGHT OF
Oh man just thought of something! Imagine if in Splatoon 3 then introduce us to a 5 member band called Marooned 5 (a play of word on Maroon 5)
6:37 I never thought Marina was apart of turquoise october since the jingle that their songs share s apart of DJ Octavio's theme which would imply that the jingle would probably be something common place, and the whole thing of he demo having the same lyrics would probably come down to them having limited resources (Or sounds to use) when it comes to music so most songs would consistently use familiar sounds to one another.
I think it would be actually super cool if a few band members could be on some lines in the deep sea metro as an Easter egg
one thing thats kinda fishy though (No pun intended) is the fact that the duo shown 20:30 look very similar to a certain duo we know. Something tells me that might be blood relatives.
Think about it for a second:
one had a high voice and the other was more of a whisper... almost the same as Callie and Marie where Callie was high and very energetic while Marie's was lower and much more softer.
Same facial masks
Similar hair shades, white and black (yes i know the white isn't completely white.)
Cuttlefish family appearances, same as Callie and Marie (even though it isn't entirely confirmed if they're full inklings or cuttlefish or a mix of both.)
Marie and Callie's parents don't go fully in depth on appearances or lifestyle or personality, leaving a lot of speculation.
Am I the only one who sees this pattern here?
Great series :D I love learning more about the bands and musical artists of the splatoon world
and with this this great series is over
thank you so much for making these all three episodes were awesome to watch, fantastic work!
I would love a bonus episode covering some of the communities fanmade bands and idol groups
20:23 left is very cute!
I just wanna mention that one logo that looks like a spoof of metallicas, it showed up on a shirt and im pretty sure some ads or whatever in blackbelly skatepark
(Splatallica, if you will)
oh yeah, that logo! I doubt it'll happen, but would be nice to get more info on that.
It is apparently confirmed (Or something that was on the Splatoon wiki) that during the events before Octo Expansion, agent 3 took up being a DJ and they were the one to do a 8 hour DJ battle with Marina. Also the "6000000000" people that came was probably just the about of people that were there total. maybe part of the crowd left and new ones came in to watch.
The first part was on the wiki and probably true because I don't think any other squid has the Splatoon 1 hero headset, but I'm not so sure about the 6000000000 part, that was just my theory.
Overall, great video! Your videos are great to listen to and you definitely put a lot of work with the 3 videos and the translations.
im not quite sure what youre getting at here, because i do mention in this video DJ sango is agent 3 and did the DJ battle with marina. the info is sourced from haikara walker, a japanese-only splatoon artbook, and translated by fans like clanfearrunt and myself, which then gets put on the wiki by others. so its true.
as for the 60 million/billion inkopolis residents, even if not at once, its still a concerningly large amount of people! too many!
anyways, glad you enjoy my videos!
@@rassicas Oh my bad, from the video it sounded like you weren't sure, my bad ('-
I really enjoyed this series! Your passion really shows, been loving your content since I found your channel. Keep it up!
20:22 I like to think that these two are Callie and Marie's parents, with the white-haired one being Marie's mom and the black-haired one being Callie's mom. That’s just personal headcanon, however. (Though that would also mean that they’re Craig's kids, and with the last name “Cuttlefush”, it kinda makes sense.)
For those of y'all that don't know, Marie's favorite band is Chirpy Chips.
This series was so good! I love finding out this obscure lore about Splatoon bands!
Really hoping we get even more neat stuff like this in Splatoon 3, although I have no doubt we will.
that airplane part actively assassinated me
Finally, someone else who knows about the CoroCoro Music!!!!
(The Mech gear song is a bop btw
After you get all the information for the splatoon 3 Bands can you please title it 4/3 and continue this way?
ok THAT would be funny. i was actually thinking about not announcing when ill make a part 4, with the only indicator being that one day, the titles of the band series will be /4 instead of /3
I know the chances are none existant but it would be cool if the musicians with no music were to be in Splatoon 3. Your Splatoon vids makes me think and I love that! Great job!!
DISSPAIR BEST BOYS. DISSPAIR BEST BOYS. DISSPAIR BEST BOYS. DISSPAIR BEST BOYS.
I know I'm 2 years late to this, but, I do really like the idea of agent 3 getting into DJing, because like you mentioned, there seems to be very strong ties between DJing and octarians (probably cause their society is so tech focused), so the former top agent and current captain of the new squidbeak splatoon, an organization focused on fighting the Octarian army, taking up a form of music so heavily tied to octarian culture sort of feels like a great symbolic way to represent this new era of Inklings and Octolings living together
I imagine that Pearl and Carla still talk.
Rassicas: The same motif that appears in Eight Legged Advance and Octo-Eight Step.
Me: And in I Am Octavio, and in Octarmaments, and in Octavio’s mix of Bomb Rush Blush, and in Tidal Rush, and in Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape, and every single time you beat a hero mode level, and…
I'm pretty sure the first corocoro song could have just been thrown out because one of the vocals can pretty easily be misheard as "fuck"
RUclips DIDN’T TELL ME THIS WAS PREMIERING ARE YOU KIDDING ME
4:44 an interesting thing that may or may not be intentional is that turquoise inverted results in a color very similar to octarian ink, and given the colors of sanitized Octarian, it does have some interesting implications
I come from the future (thanks, algorithm, I discovered this channel the other day from looking up the Splatune soundtracks) to say they foreshadowed Side Order for 14:20 lol
I have several fan-idols that I’ve made over the years, but I’ll talk about Zen here since he aligns more with the Splatoon timeline than Out of the Blue, my other band, who live in a alternate universe where Sealings (my term for all Splatoon species) developed alongside humans and live peacefully underground.
Anyway, who is Zen? Zen is a blind Octoling who’s eyes were disintegrated after an accident that took place days before he left the Octarian Army with his surviving sister (he and three others broke their brainwashing in Splatoon 1, but didn’t have anywhere to go so they stayed in the army together and became as close as family). He later picked up violin and started singing, gaining the name “the Blind Beacon” (he made his real stage name Beacon) for being one of a few Octolings paving the way for more Octarian music in the future. His music varies a bit depending on what it’s used for (battle, studying, etc.) and what message he wants to convey, his sound is also influenced a bit by Octarian music and Calamari Inkantation as a sort of tribute to his family. Zen later moved to Splatsville, after another accident took his sister, with his trans Inkling friend, soon boyfriend, Bluebird and his mom. Zen spends his free time trying out new cords, playing Turf War, and hanging out with his boyfriend.
Sorry this was long...
