who needs to be able to remember important school stuff when i can fill my brain up with sploon lore
Sacrifice has been done
Exactly
I’ve won but at what cost lol
"important" skills that you will never use in reality
@@TribitFanOpex and what if somebody is like say all the splatoon lore or die
I’d like to mention for the parental advisory warning question that pearl literally has a song called “#$@%* dudes be #$@%* sleepin” so yeah, swearing is canon
Its a banger tho
because of the number of symbols I like to call it “bitch dudes be bitch sleepin'” I wonder if Inklings have the same swear words but with different meanings, I mean other human culture things have made it into the Splatoon world like music and cereal and peace signs.

@@bye7522 😡😤😤WHY DO YOU HAVE A BAD WORD?
9:23 I personally think that Inkling/Octoling hobbies are just one's personal preferences, just like how it is with us. Some Inklings/Octolings might like video games, while others might like sports (other than Turf War), dancing, art, exercising, or any combination of those plus more. Heck, there might even be some Inklings/Octolings that DON'T like Turf war.
I love the idea of an inkling/octoling painter.
@@sealedtugboat9965 yeah imagine going into their room and then there just being ink everywhere..actually does paint even exist? ink is sorta just like paint here-but I guess since ink goes away in different tempatures you'd just have to have a ac in your room or something. oh also paint probably does exist I've never played the games yet but I remember seeing places in splatoon with paint on them and i think its paint since it doesn't go away
@@NIGHTBLOODUSAGI there’s likely some form of paint since ink dissolves over time, also there’s a song called paint scraper I’m pretty sure
Spoon?
5:14 I had my own theory on this!
Respawn pads, aside from being a video game mechanic to literally respawn, is a beacon for the inkling or octoling to have a definitive safe area to rush back to reform into their normal size.
Their souls that fly off when splatted are still the inkling or octoling itself, but is a defense mechanism developed so that they can essentially fly themselves back to a safer area and respawn. I’m following this “flying” logic along the reasoning of the Japanese Flying squid and how it can spread its fins to create lift in the air (or in game super jumping).
Anyways, in normal games, your inkling soul floats up and back to spawn. In both story modes, when fighting a boss battle, Octo samurai for this example will try and respawn into his own mobile spawn point, but ultimately just explodes presumably because agent 4 and agent 8 already slapped him around enough and damaged the spawn point so bad.
I should probably expand on Toni Kensa and Marie's relationship:
In the Splatoon 2 art book, it is shown that the Kensaki family emblem (the one Toni Kensa is a part of) in embroidered on Marie's kimono, and the Octo Canyon armor has the Toni Kensa logo on it as well. While their relationship is never explicitly stated, we can assume that they're related due to this.
1:17 Lol I always imagine myself the teams meet up and decide what colour their ink is gonna be. Sounds a bit childish, I know, but it's a bit like sports, you get to hear what colour outfit you're gonna wear before a match begins so yeah
I think when it comes to Tartar being alive, we could take a page from the manga. After the explosion, Marina takes its "corpse" with her, saying something along the lines of "I hope you can see the difference someday" regarding Humanity and Inklings/Octarians. It's implied that Marina might have tried fixing it in the manga, and while the canon is a bit different compared to the game canon, I think they left that question open so that they can bring them back if they have more ideas.
wait, do you mean the corocoro manga or is there another?
If you're referring to the corocoro manga I'm pretty sure that's non-canon? I've never read it tho.
@@ChampionMahina I stated that the canon is different than the main games, but has some similarities/parallels. I think its the CoroCoro one.
@@kayo6689 there is a second manga, but Im refering to the coro coro one specifically
@@Typi ohhhhh, that makes sense given the hero mode arc
For the ink color changing, I think maybe they can change their colors at will whenever they feel like it, but that would leave a few plot holes to be answered. And for the record, I don’t know if this is canon, but in a 2018 concert video, pearl and marina can be seen changing their ink colors in plain sight.
Here’s the link >> ruclips.net/video/TV0E_T-8LWc/видео.html (the transformation starts at 13:00)
Pretty sure in like one of the 2014 (I think??) splatoon directs it says that Inklings can change their appearance at will. This is purely memory based so I could be wrong lol.
@@sokka605 i think that might have just been referring to their ability to change skin/eye colors. I feel like the ink is a separate thing
Well, the manga straight up says they learn it in school iirc
In my personal opinion i think that in turf wars they change their ink color when they enter the base for the first time so they can make the teams, and maybe they can change their ink color with some product but i don't think they can change it naturally. Maybe just their "birth color" or something but no idea.
I mean theoretically the inkling / octoling hair colour thing may not be entirely hormonal since there was canonically an inkling with rainbow hair at one point, and it's a little hard to see but in the splat 3 trailers some inklings have a slight tint of a second colour on their hair as well, so the hair colour(s) could be maintained with enough concentration, like a skill that you can get better at over time.
Theres an inkling with rainbow hair? Who?
@@stagthebag I don't entirely remember where I saw it now but i'm almost positive it might have been in the manga
Rainbow hair i think is one of the band members has 4 large tentacles, each one with a different color and the gradient in 3 is a returning feature from 1
there's that inkling from one of the bands who has rainbow hair because of a genetical condition or something, but they still exist it wasn't like at one point they just disappeared from the face if the earth
So in the lore (at least if I remember correctly) it is mentioned that human bones are common finds, so does this mean that other human artifacts would be common finds too? And I guess to expand on that, does that mean that an inkling or octoling could have found human weapons and maybe even used them?
They have found other thing of humans
For example, the clash blaster has some crayons on it.
The sniper weapon could have been repurposed cus the bullet didn’t do any thing to the inklings. They are mostly ink condensed right?
Hey, maybe their society is so similar to ours because they based it off human ruins! I mean, that would explain why every single weapon is based off a human object
Probably... if they cant restore them
Was hoping you'd mention the jellyfish hive mind caste. They make up probably 80% of all actual work in the economy. Inklings seem to have a luxurious and hedonistic lifestyle and that they have the option to work or not because of this. Kinda analogous to automation in real life.
My head canon, and this should definitely be real, is that the inklings and octolings have a default ink color that they could change if they wanted to
About the ink colour, we see Pearl and Marina change ink colour in the live irl concerts, where their tentacles get a glitching effect, turn white and change to the new colour, which implies that its controlled by will
My request in the post was for a further insight on Inkling and Octoling biology, thanks for clearing a few things up. I can't wait for Inkling/Octoling souls and Inkling Polotics!
My headcanon for Octavio never changing forms is that is has something to do with how his tentacles are used to operate the other bosses. Or it's maybe he's doing some sort of life-preserving technique like Cuttlefish. Also I assumed we only see him in his octoling form, not his human form
Splatoon lore boiiiis! Always fun and interesting to find out and theorise more stuff about such an in-depth series! :)
Also, I was wondering, do Inklings die/get splatted if they drink water? Or can they drink it normally? Or only diluted? It's just an interesting question to think about.
They drink it and also take gentle showers in it.
this is just a hc but i think that they only die if they inhale water
When announ cing maps (I think specifically Starfish Mainstage), Pearl says something along the lines of "Remember to hydrate between battles". Meanwhile, Marina says "That sounds like good advice until you remember water is lethal to us", so it's therefore lethal to them in every form
I think it's only if they are submerged, like a shower is fine cause it's just sprinkles and even a bath is fine as long as it isn't too much water, but like, if they drink water repeatedly it would be too much probably. just my hc
*Why do inklings die in water?*
Inklings evolved from the ocean which is *salt* water. Most stages in game contain *fresh* water. As a salt water creature they cannot live in fresh water and will die of *Water Intoxication.* With the stages that *do* posses salt water there are death barriers preventing you from touching it in the first place.
*What about salmon run?*
Salmon are salt water creatures too but they migrate upstream (*fresh water*) to spawn. And salmon run takes place during their spawning.
*Can fresh water reservoirs be that big?*
As a matter of fact yes. Above the state of Ohio lies Lake Erie which is so huge you can’t see the other side.
*Anything to prove this?*
In octo expansion after you beat the game, you can look through the hole a *certain someone* made. Through that hole you can see what appears to be a layer of water, meaning they are *under* the water. Also the place is called Deep *Sea* Metro. This concludes my scientific analogy of a kids game.
"So they can just do it whenever they want, its just an ability they have to change skin color"
Wait so Marina just wants to be different then, huh
Inner agent 3 is so powerful because they removed their special limiter, proven by dialogue.
I love splatoon loreeeeee
Although I do have one suspicion about adult /older inklings/octolings in the splatoon 3 trailer there is an inkling with half dried tentacles, I believe I heard somewhere that octolings/inklings tentacles dry as they get older or something? I don’t know if this is correct or incorrect. Can someone tell me?
Yes! Though it isnt a natural process, its something they do by choice. "Sundrying" is a method that inklings use to prolong their life by drying out their ink, Cap'n Cuttlefish does this which is why he appears crusty and without an ink colour. I think the new hairstyle is likely them drying the tips of the hair specifically for the style of it, or perhaps it could be due to the hot weather out there!
I see, thanks!
@@Hario338 cap'n crustlefish
I imagine with the ink color changing thing inkos and octos have “dominant colors” or basically their default at birth. Maybe it’s genetic? I dunno. But they can change their ink color temporarily by going through some kind of shower before super jumping towards their spawn. And just like the ink on the stage that evaporates after awhile, so does the temporary ink color.
i learned this in school, octopus have the abilty to change their color, to blend in to their enviroment. i dont know how squids can change color tho.
Well it is entirely true that we don't know how squid can change their color, take note that there's deep sea squids that actually use bioluminescent I think, so maybe that's behind it? Photophores is what ables them to glow so maybe they evolved to use that in the surface to change color
5:45 Correct me if I'm wrong, but not confirmed as far as I'm aware? All we know is that the Kensa family crest is embroidered on her kimono, which COULD mean they're related, but even if they are their relation is unknown. For all we know they could be siblings, he could be her uncle, etc.
7:45 There is a cute little comic in the splatoon 1 art book that shows an inkling vomiting into their ink tank when they are in their squid form while they are swimming in their own ink :)
I demand an episode 2
2:45 Not sure if this helps, but in the splatoon manga there are hints in the character descriptions that there are different socio economic classes. Army is said to be from a noble squid family. And in Laceless’s inkling almanac it is said he is the son of the gardener at Emperor and Prince’s household which not only tells us that Prince and Emperor’s family are rich enough to have a personal gardener but that yeah that Prince and Laceless more or less come from different socio economic backgrounds.
Edit: I just remembered that there’s a bunch of lines abt Pearl’s family being super duper rich, so wouldn’t that also imply that?
surprised rizi didn't comment on
#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin for the swearing thing.
I totally forgot about that one
I guess that the respawn machine plays some part in changing ink colour, or some technology, since it would make sense that ink colour is somewhat hereditary.
I'd like to think that they dont die but there soul just drifts along
4:29 “is anyone really dead in a Nintendo game?”
*sobs in botw*
There’s this one part in the splatoon manga where the four squids in team blue get assigned in a group when they were younger, and they get assigned blue group and get told to “change they’re colours to blue” although the splatoon manga is kinda known for not being cannon
Ok, so there are some questions I wish were answered, like what's deal with that Mount Nantai? Since I've heard many mentions about it in some other lore videos. And what does NILS in that statue's name means? (Unless it just means "annihilate" and i'm overthinking about it)
But anyways, that was a pretty cool vid, thanks for answering those questions
2:09 ah, Inkling reproduction happens when two Inklings who love each other very very much... come together with romantic intentions... AND F[really long bleep] and that is how Inklings reproduce.
i believe cannibalism happens in inkopolis often because squids and octopus in the real world are cannibals
Shoot! Should’ve subbed when I had the chance so I could ask. Oh well, I’ll just ask here then.
How do inklings get back to inkopolis after a match? Is there a teleporter in the spawn point that sends them back, or does something pick them up?
They will probably super jump,
In one of the new reports I remember one of them was complaining about the distance of their house than the other said to just super jump and it burns a lot of calories
Sometimes i always wonder imagine if humans can get sanitized i dont know if its possible but i was just thinking of it for a while now..
Unrelated but you’re insane with the dualie squelchers, just remember to utilize turret mode by shooting after rolling (deactivates if you move at all after rolling)
This is for 1:07 I think, About the hair color
This is to long so to shorten it out they change color when ever they want but it may need practice
Splatoon has a manga. In one of them there is a end part where the protagonist and his team meet for the first time as kid in daycare they are told to try and change colors. I think one of them had a hard time doing it so it may need practice
This may be in books 5-8
It’s in book 5, chapter named Blue Group
Manga isn’t canon tho
@@paperaleks4896 got any better ideas? All ears
Is ink armor some kind of skin secretion?
It reminds me alot towards waterphobic, a substance that completely blocks off water,so maybe using the special is needed to make a huge amount of the substance to block off enemy ink for a short duration
"Is anyone really dead in a Nintendo game?" Shh! Don't tell him about Paper Mario...
0:43 this looks like early shiver and frye designs
I think the reason their hair changes is bc they inject ink into their hair, whatever effect happens from that ink happens (like maybe a green hair being injected by purple gets like, really sick) they get splatted and respawned and the hair color changes to the correct color
6:08 okay when you said this i took it the wrong way
There was a video made about how inkling's bodies were formed and if they have bones. I don't remember who made it, but it vanished. It talked about the respawners and the inkling's souls. I'm trying to find it but no luck. Was that your video?
Splatoon 2 shop area is called the Galleria
I think changing color is really just annoying or inconvenient so they don't do it as much, because why would adrenaline turn you purple or green, I wouldn't think they're different dosages
7:25
It is *EXTRIMELY* important to note that they are atleast 18.
In inkpedia there’s a explanation on how they reproduce (I think, read somewhere about this…)
Tbh i think how they change color is the same way real life squids and octopuses change color
I just came up with this
What if Octavio is the Last human they look so similar and what if he transformed into octavio himself
I dont know if you still do videos like these but i have a question. why do octarians have random patches of ink from one of the agents in their bases
octavio probably dont wants to show his body because hes old
Okey here, not sure if this ever get answered, but in the octo expansion, there's a sertain line where when you look up you can see the surface of the ocean. But if that implies we are under water then how are we surviving?
Inklings have three genders. Popstar, fashion and War.
Captian cuddlefish is literally an adult inkling
Splatsville Is Based On A City In Tokyo
Splatsvilles shoreline matches up with Nagoya and it’s not the Eiffel Tower it’s the Nagoya tv tower
Pretty sure that the Inklings we play as are adults. If i remember correctly when inklings get 14 they reach adulthood
Jesus so how old is capt cuttlefish, 40?
No 14 is when they gain control over switching between their humanoid and squid/Octo forms. It's like human puberty.
I honestly just think that inkling and octolings just take pills that change their ink color before every battle
Inklings aren't cannibalistic at all, cannibalism is when you eat your own species such as a human eating another human, but an inkling eating another undeveloped squid, unless it isn't another inkling, isn't cannibalism, even it is a subspecies
Cab inklings have kids
9:05 * S O C I E T Y *
Wait shouldn’t Callie and Marie BE cuttlefish. Like their the granddaughters of captain cuttlefish so they must be SOME part cuttlefish right?
You didn't really answer my question, I know they can change their skin whenever I just wanna know which one do they start of with when they are able to develop skin color and how so. Does it depend on their ink color they are born with, species, gender, parents, region, or is it random.
Edit: forget the part about when
As far as we know, we know nothing. All we know is that they begin without a skin tone as they're alot more squid shaped, then they slowly become more humanoid, before finally forming skin when they gain control of their forms at around 14. As for what determines their skin tone we dont really know, we havent seen many parental sets in-game, but we have seen Callie, Marie, and cuttlefish all having similar skin tones and Marina still using darker skin when she was younger.
If I had to theorise, I would say they likely can do whatever they want with it from the second their skin forms, usually choosing to have a similar tone to their family because of familiarity. Either that or its much like humans with it being determined by the parents (damn you, inconclusivity.)
i wonder if inklings drink ink like how us humans drink water (i dont know if this was in the video. i just started watching)
Kil
There is actually a quote in one of the artbooks I believe that states ink as harmless to drink like water, but nothing about them actively doing it.
Are there trans inklings/octolings?
Not that I know of but its entirely possible! (this is just a headcanon but) I would assume that since they can transform their bodies so much they can likely change their biological sex at will, just by reforming themselves with the opposite sex. And of course nothing is stopping an inkling or octoling from having surgery or simply presenting more like the opposite sex, much like humans do.
It is entirely possible, if they are able to change skin tone and hair color they can most likely Change their biological body
It's hard to confirm but alot of the in universe musicians are gender nonconforming and splatoon generally avoids gendered pronouns in alot of original japanese promo material so there are quite a few characters that folks have suspected are nb. It's def possible it's just a question if any known characters actually are.
I am awaiting a splatoon politics video
Isnt Octavio in Octo form because of the Ings age it become harder to maintain human form?
Then what about cuttlefish? I mean it's two different entire species so maybe both get different in their two forms. Either way Dj oct looks way more active then cuttlefish, it's either because oct is using his superior form and using all of it's benefits against the inklings or it could be that maintaining the human form takes too much to handle due to old aging, remember that both oct/ink human forms don't have bones but cartilage so maybe that's why
It’s cause his octoling form got a scar that forced him into his octopus 🐙 form 9:04
i dont know if you saw this but how does the ink get its colour
It's already stated that squids can produce ink but since evolution came along EVERYTHING changed in their biological bodys, they have ink sacs inside and when doing turf they can refill. Best answer from me is that evolution is what gave them different ink color
6:28 you forgot the font smh my head
WOW amazing vid
wheres my pork tenderlion????
inklings also have skin and mussles there not just ink
ok so no genders aren't in splatoon 3, you can either choose between the more masculine or feminine body types and then besides some minor clothing changes there's no difference
Where was the poll?
callie and marie actually are cuttlefish so not only are the not squid there also not sisters
No confirmation
@@NapaCat they have the ears of a cuttlefish and actually have a lot of differences there is a whole video on it but i don't remember by who
no, they're squids. and also, cuttlefish are considered squid in japan. that's it @@akawoomy_
7:06
this is a DISGUSTING amount of mpu to use on an octobrush
Yeah I was like "ay that line looking way too big then it needs to be" lol
What happenes when they drink water?
probably death
squid
10:24 man u dissapointed in ur team?
thought this was abt a developer interview but no, sadly this is highly inaccurate. no h8
How is it innaccurate? I understand why you might be dissapointed but I dont think he did a bad job at answering the questions.
