Finally someone acknowledges the slowed, calmer rendition of City of Color present in Maritime Memory instead of calling Maritime Memory "slow Calimari Inkantation"🙏 Seriously why do people think that? it's sampled for like 15s in the song
@@sherbertshortkake6649 there’s also a video that contains the onward motif and everywhere it appears, which might be the source too. (I didn’t find rassicas until after i found the video im talking about.)
when you shoot marina's hyperbombs in the octo expansion final boss, the noise they make while exploding is also taken from the beginning of colour pulse
I believe there’s like a “things are going wrong” motif, which plays when the blender is starting up, the bad endings of OE and 3, and the song the Fish Sticks sing, though I could’ve been imagining things
@@Wasarety I once heard someone say it was Happy Little Workers with a ton of notes missing, which is kind of believable at certain parts of the bad ending theme.
Such a good video! Also confirms why Shooting Starfish is one of the best Splatoon 2 songs if it’s got the reversed Calamari Inkantation. I really loved hearing all the references in Octo Expansion when I played it. 💕
the octo 8 step motif is also used in salmon run as the jingle that the scrapper’s shield plays! this is probably because it’s octarian tech - it’s actually a modified version of the shields that shielded octarians use
Not sure if it’s intentional or a coincidence but I’m pretty sure there’s a reference to #19 bless in The Plan as well during the Shark Bytes portion. That brassy crescendo with an instant release appears in both. It’s my head canon that Dedf1sh is the one responsible for the song despite it mainly using motifs from Off The Hook.
I love it when game franchises use leitmotifs in thier soundtracks! Amazing video, really helpful for keeping track of them all. I was a bit surprised to find how many I hadn't recognized!
you forgot the bad ending jingle from octo expansion, you can hear it in different occasions in the game , like when tartar builds his blender or when you're on the tower in the tower control level in octo expansio, btw great vid
Finally someone talks about the songs in playing faintly in the square!! I thought I was goin crazy for a while cause ive literally seen nobody talk about it, i thought it was such a neat little detail.
3:20 For Coulor Pulse, there's also the Octo Expansion bad ending if you fail to stop tartar, a cutscene of inkopolice cover in sanitized ink with the creepy version of Color Pulse plays.
I love these kinds of videos so much! Also, pretty sure City of Colours' melody is used in the instrumental of Spicy Calamari Inkantation as well And THANK YOU for acknowledging City of Colour in Maritime Memory. People keep calling it "Slow Calamari Inkantation", when really the main part of Maritime Memory is just "Slow City of Colours" xD
This is seriously SUCH a cool video, they way you play the part, and transition into the other songs and sounds that contain it, it really makes it easy to understand and catch on immediately! Splatoon music is so layered, with many of them calling back to other related songs, it's really cool! Onward has been one of my favorite motifs since the first game, it's crazy seeing how many other songs have the same situation going on! ^^
You forgot, In Inkopolis Plaza when the train arrives you can hear it play Calamari Inkantation. And in Salmon run when you break the Scrappers box thing it plays this 1:11
I’ve always loved the leitmotifs in this series, but I didn’t know there were so many! I also love the editing on how you go from the original into the other version (like tide goes out) I’m ready for the Splatoon 3 one once we get the song names!
Not sure how confident I am on this, but one of Shiver's verses in Fins in the Air (right before the chorus) sounds exactly like one of Marina's verses in Color Pulse. Also don't forget the Anarchy Rainbow leitmotifs thay smother the Calamari Inkantation 3MIX (including the solo numbers), and the Calamari Inkantation portion of Wave Goodbye. Also the song that plays when you first meet the Squid Sisters.
Awesome video, would love to see a followup for Splatoon 3. Also you missed the scrapper's dazed jingle for Octo Eight Step. I believe the connection being that the scrapper' s shield is made from discarded Octarian technology.
I just realized that the boss theme from splatoon 2 (Octarmaments) uses the “Octo-legged advance” leitmotif in several parts. It’s more clear on phases 2 and 3.
Why do I think this is so awesome? It's really so exciting, thank you for doing this. It's great to see that there's a large part of the community that cares about this stuff.
My god. This is bringing back octo expansion and story mode memories. And splatfests too. I can’t play splatfests because they’re over and I have no friends to play splatoon 2 private battles with. So all I’ve got is memories now. Good few years of my life were with this game and now it’s pretty much over. Making me sad cause now I realize I’m getting older. Thanks Nintendo.
i grew out my hear just long enough so i could sneak my airpods and have a "the plan" quietly playing on low in my maths gcse exam. it just a hype song. i got my hair cut after exams back to normal lol. it could also be a stretch but in "the plan" there's 2 seconds of music which sounds kind of a leitmotif to dj octavio. just a stretch
You also missed the Scrapper's little jingle (when you break its shield) being another rendition of the onward leitmotif. And also, I don't know if this was intentional, but I was hoping that you would do Happy Little Workers since that's sort of become a thing.
4:40 THANK YOU for this!! The Thang Jingle editing was a little choppy but still I never would have noticed this otherwise, the way you edited it made it so clear
The TEST PASSED! jingle is also present in Spicy calamari Inkantation I think (around 01:01 in the youtube uploads) It's easier to hear with headphone but they sound extremely similiar
2 things i noticed that weren't in the video - on the mc princess diaries stage marina's hyperbombs play the first note of color pulse when exploding (same instrument used) -in the shark bytes section of the plan, there's a really soft piano that plays splattack
One you missed for the splattack part is there is a very faint motif playing in the back of the track "the plan" during the part with the shark bytes motif. Its very very hard to hear so you gotta listen very closely.
A theorist actually acknowledged and identified the notes before the Octo songs as a scale, so it might be an Octarian thing? A callback or easter egg the Nintendo musicians added?
Actually, when your in the subways station, the calamari incantation doesent play untill youre farther into the dlc. The reason for the calamari incantation is agent 8 dreaming about all the fun and happiness she’ll\he’ll get when she get when they make it to the surface.
1:11 THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS. ITS BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE FOR YEARS. WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNN??? Also there’s a few other songs with the Leitmotif (octarmaments etc.)
I think it’s a bit odd how maritime memory is basically a song about all the memories, a song that has leitmotifs of all other important songs, but is not in the last game with squid sisters
Hey wasarety, i think there’s an Easter egg in the first and also now third game. When the train parks in Inkopolis the jellyfish play the notes for calamari inkantation

Updated video here!! ruclips.net/video/G2sslqYNpx4/видео.htmlsi=Urzatx2VbcqAARDD
Splatoon’s music composers really said “Yeah, Calamari Inkantation is perfect, we gotta keep using this”
Its the Second most iconic splatoon Song after splattack
They aren’t wrong.
Finally someone acknowledges the slowed, calmer rendition of City of Color present in Maritime Memory instead of calling Maritime Memory "slow Calimari Inkantation"🙏 Seriously why do people think that? it's sampled for like 15s in the song
i know maritme memory as a city of color remix lol
I always thought Maritime Memory was just slowed City of Color lmao
@@r4ls3i7 same basically
homie whoever you met was clearly wrong
Literally everyone I met has acknowledged that its a slowed down version of city of colour
I find it so cute that the actual bomb launcher special in splatoon 2 plays the jingle for bomb rush blush while it's active
Same!!
I spent six years of my life listening to Maritime Memory, without knowing Splattack was sampled in the song. The more you know.
The scrapper also emits the onward motif when you hit him enough to stop him
You won't understand the significance of me replying to you, but
Did you get this from rassicas' band lore video?
@@sherbertshortkake6649 there’s also a video that contains the onward motif and everywhere it appears, which might be the source too. (I didn’t find rassicas until after i found the video im talking about.)
@@FrTdude I know. It's nothing important...
@@sherbertshortkake6649 no actually I watched a video that compiled all the instances of the onward motif specifically.
@@seamuskills Ah, ok! Thanks!
The tower jingle in the Octo Expansion has the same notes as Completion (when you head into the blender)
Oooh I didn't realise! :o I might remake the video once splat 3 comes out and add that ^^ thanks!
@@Wasarety do that!!!!! it’d be very cool!!!!
O ok
@@Wasarety please remake the video!
@@edgyone2273 look at the pinned comment
Can we agree that the music for the end of Octo expansion is probably the best game ending music
Conclusion is so H Y P E
every single song from the oe conclusion is great
Now its gotta compeat with In filtration, hide and sleek and smeared canvace.
not anymore :)
i love leitmotifs for some reason
I also do lmao, i like noticing leitmotifs in everything
They scratch ur brain just right
IKR!!!! THEY’RE JUST SO AWESOME
same omfg
when you shoot marina's hyperbombs in the octo expansion final boss, the noise they make while exploding is also taken from the beginning of colour pulse
I love how calamari inkantation and the squid sisters have an everlasting affect on the game and it's soundtrack
I believe there’s like a “things are going wrong” motif, which plays when the blender is starting up, the bad endings of OE and 3, and the song the Fish Sticks sing, though I could’ve been imagining things
I tried to recognize any leitmotif on 3's bad ending but I couldn't hear anything :(
@@Wasarety It’s really discordant, but when you speed it up it sounds kinda familiar to me, I can swear I’ve heard it before somewhere
i thought i recognized the fish sticks song ! thanks for reminding me lmao
@@Wasarety I once heard someone say it was Happy Little Workers with a ton of notes missing, which is kind of believable at certain parts of the bad ending theme.
I think I'll wait until we know all of splat 3 song names before remaking this video
why did it recommend this to the day you commented ??
@@tacotate137 This video blew up recently for some reason so I made that comment LOL
Is Ebb and Flow in the square at the end instead of Colour Pulse? I can't hear CP but can definitely hear EaF. Unless they have the same "melody" idk
@@jammychoo read da description
@@thecubularemperor ah ok😅
You can actually hear a very faint part of Splattack during the Shark Bytes segment of The Plan! That song really is everywhere lmao
what part of splattack is it? because I've been trying to hear it but I can't D:
@@Wasarety Really hard to describe in words but it's like the main chorus part? again it's super faint
3:54 those transitions between songs tho 😳
Damn, it feels so good.
Such a good video! Also confirms why Shooting Starfish is one of the best Splatoon 2 songs if it’s got the reversed Calamari Inkantation. I really loved hearing all the references in Octo Expansion when I played it. 💕

omg I didn't realize before :O
0:44 wow I honestly didn’t knew about this one
Also i think calamari inkantation leitmotif also plays in fresh start, it is the track in the center
This is actually really cool! I hope they add more of these hidden throwbacks and references in the music for Splatoon 3!
You can actually hear the fly octo fly lemotif (or at least a similar/base version) in the background of the spicy calamari incantation!
Why is this music already becoming nostalgic 🥲
okay but the transition at 3:52 gorgeous??? imma need to whip up a full vers for myself 👀
One of the leitmotifs for Color Pulse is the bad ending theme to Octo Expansion. It's the same except slowed and made creepier.
I love it when game franchises use leitmotifs in thier soundtracks! Amazing video, really helpful for keeping track of them all. I was a bit surprised to find how many I hadn't recognized!
The fact that marítime memory has many samples from other iconic songs makes it hurt even more
you forgot the bad ending jingle from octo expansion, you can hear it in different occasions in the game , like when tartar builds his blender or when you're on the tower in the tower control level in octo expansio, btw great vid
You should update this for Splatoon 3 because City of Color, Splattack!, Onward, and Calimari Inkantation are definitely back
Also the Octarian jingle is used in the scrapper horns
Finally someone talks about the songs in playing faintly in the square!! I thought I was goin crazy for a while cause ive literally seen nobody talk about it, i thought it was such a neat little detail.
I really like how you use each game’s respective fonts to differentiate which songs came from which game
I’ve always loved the leitmotifs of splatoon, co catchy!
In Spicy Calamari Inkantation we can hear the notes of City of Color !
3:20
For Coulor Pulse, there's also the Octo Expansion bad ending if you fail to stop tartar, a cutscene of inkopolice cover in sanitized ink with the creepy version of Color Pulse plays.
I love these kinds of videos so much!
Also, pretty sure City of Colours' melody is used in the instrumental of Spicy Calamari Inkantation as well
And THANK YOU for acknowledging City of Colour in Maritime Memory. People keep calling it "Slow Calamari Inkantation", when really the main part of Maritime Memory is just "Slow City of Colours" xD

Also the song that plays when you first meet the Squid Sisters.
The beeps from the Scrapper after being hit are also using the octarian leitmotif.
YOU PUT SO MUCH WORK IN THIS THIS IS AMAZING!!! I love the creativity and duality in Splatoon music so much 😭😭
4:41 God do I love the jingle with vocals
0:16 there is also a part in “Spicy Calamari Inkentation” that look like this song
Awesome video, would love to see a followup for Splatoon 3.
Also you missed the scrapper's dazed jingle for Octo Eight Step. I believe the connection being that the scrapper' s shield is made from discarded Octarian technology.
I just realized that the boss theme from splatoon 2 (Octarmaments) uses the “Octo-legged advance” leitmotif in several parts. It’s more clear on phases 2 and 3.
the reversed references are so WEIRD
i love it
😋
the "onward" tune is also in the little salmon run scrapper melody
Why do I think this is so awesome? It's really so exciting, thank you for doing this. It's great to see that there's a large part of the community that cares about this stuff.
I was not ready for that transition at 4:41
The Tower Jingle when it’s going “backwards” sounds like Tide Goes Out rhythm
My god. This is bringing back octo expansion and story mode memories. And splatfests too. I can’t play splatfests because they’re over and I have no friends to play splatoon 2 private battles with. So all I’ve got is memories now. Good few years of my life were with this game and now it’s pretty much over. Making me sad cause now I realize I’m getting older. Thanks Nintendo.

2:29 that’s so clever!
You also missed the Scrapper's little jingle (when you break its shield) being another rendition of the onward leitmotif.
And also, I don't know if this was intentional, but I was hoping that you would do Happy Little Workers since that's sort of become a thing.
The sheer amount of work, I am in awe. Thanks
4:40 THANK YOU for this!! The Thang Jingle editing was a little choppy but still I never would have noticed this otherwise, the way you edited it made it so clear
4:42 why does that actually go hard
THE EBB AND FLOW TRANSITION NEEDS A WHOLE MASHUP ???
Don't forget that one of the new lobby themes has the melody of Tide Goes Out!
omg I thought about it as well but I don't know if it's intentional or a big coincidence
@@Wasarety It's wayy too obvious to not be intentional. I wonder if it means anything though...
I never realized the Thang jingle was included too
Whoa! I love "Shooting Starfish" and had no idea it used a bunch of reversed samples. That's super rad!
3:30 I knew I had heard that melody before but I just couldn’t put my finger on it! Now I can die peacefully knowing this..
#8 Regret has Calamari Inkantation in the background at around half speed.
Omg you can totally make the onward motive sound like "I am Octavio"
I never noticed shark bytes in the plan before I thought I noticed them all before haha
I don't know if everyone noticed that, but I found City of Color in Spicy Calamary Inkantation
Hey, It is really hard to notice at first but in spicy calamari inkantation in 1:00 you can hear fly octo fly
Wow! I didn't know you could hear Calamari Inkantation in the grizzco ad, and fly Octo fly at the same time!
The Splatoon 1 musics are just Nostalgic, I don't know why but it brings back memory.
I loved how all the music fits into each other in octo expansion.
It literally feels like Nintendo ran out of music ideas and clicked the reverse button-
because there is definitely a reverse button that just makes music
Definitely
i actually realized like a week before seeing this that city of color was also in maritime memory and i was like _wait._
splatoon music is something that can be so personal and emotional and symbolic. this shit FUCKS
Omg now I can't help but hear the references
The TEST PASSED! jingle is also present in Spicy calamari Inkantation I think (around 01:01 in the youtube uploads) It's easier to hear with headphone but they sound extremely similiar
2 things i noticed that weren't in the video
- on the mc princess diaries stage marina's hyperbombs play the first note of color pulse when exploding (same instrument used)

kinda sad they dropped splattack as the main leitmotif of the game itself.
A theorist actually acknowledged and identified the notes before the Octo songs as a scale, so it might be an Octarian thing? A callback or easter egg the Nintendo musicians added?
4:04 i hear the "octo-legged advance" leitmotif
You can also hear a little calamari incantation jingle when the train arrives in inkopolis plaza in splat 1 and splat 3 dlc
Actually, when your in the subways station, the calamari incantation doesent play untill youre farther into the dlc. The reason for the calamari incantation is agent 8 dreaming about all the fun and happiness she’ll\he’ll get when she get when they make it to the surface.
A better word for “dreaming” is hallucinating.
the onward! motif is also used in octarmaments at two different parts
in splatoon 3,crater eighter's routine has the onward leitmotif
I was just looking for something like this yesterday!
THE TEST PASSED TO FLY OCTO FLY TRANSITION WAS SO COD DAMN SMOOTH
yay! finally, a video covering all the leitmotif uses! :D
Actuly the test passed music is part of ebb and flow too
Splattack is also in The Plan (1:04, listen *very* carefully)
also during the commander Tartar fight, when the hyperbombs explode you can hear the first synth chords to Color Pulse!
For onward: the scrappers honking noise also uses the leitmotif
1:11 THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS. ITS BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE FOR YEARS. WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNN??? Also there’s a few other songs with the Leitmotif (octarmaments etc.)
Octo eight step references the Onward melody, not the other way around
(its cause its also in other songs too)
Also ‘the plan’ has splattack thrown in there around the part with shark bytes. Tho its hard to hear, it’s definitely there
help I can't hear it Dx
The jungle That plays when you get one of the thangs references edd and flow (octo)
Calamari Inkantation kinda does sound like beginning of Bomb Rush Blush
I have no idea if this counts, but I remember if you stood around the train long enough in splatoon (1) you'd hear a calamari inkantation jingle.
I think it’s a bit odd how maritime memory is basically a song about all the memories, a song that has leitmotifs of all other important songs, but is not in the last game with squid sisters
The music when you fail the final part of Octo Expansion is a slow, distorted version of Color Pulse too iirc
Here are some others:
-Onwards theme on the scrapper
-City of colour in spicy calamari Inkantation
Fun addition: "Contraband" by Oblique Occasions, a cool Vaporwave/BarberBeats artist.
Hey wasarety, i think there’s an Easter egg in the first and also now third game. When the train parks in Inkopolis the jellyfish play the notes for calamari inkantation
5:15 the 8-bit/chiptune part in the background kind of sounds like Splattack
