    For those who didn’t notice, the store manager for the locker items is Harmony, a character that has actually been somewhat present before in the series. She’s part of the musical band known as Chirpy Chips that plays all sorts of battle music in Splatoon 2. If you look it up, she’s right there on the album cover!

    I love how the splatoon colour themes are based on complimentary colours (opposite colours), for example…
    Splatoon 1 - orange and blue
    Splatoon 2 - pink a green
    Splatoon 3 - yellow and purple
    Some of the colours are slight variations such as pink, it’s meant to be red but pinks a good substitute

    • @toastedfish4045
      @toastedfish4045 Год назад +26

      splatoon 2 and 3 seem to have color themes based on the last splatfest of the previous game since 1 ended w callie vs marie(pink and green) and 2 ended with chaos vs order(yellow and blue-purple)
      its kind of like how the last splatfest affects the next game since we spend more time with marie in 2 and there's a chaotic city/tone to 3
