big mans doesnt go off because he dropped it in ink so the fuse was extinguished, which i thought was pretty funny. so he just stomped on it to set it off.
I love how shiver summons a giant ass shark and fry makes a tornado of inky eels to the heavens to help agent 3 go to space. And big man is like “here’s a space hat :3!”
I'm happy Callie and Marie kept showing up for the stories! And they even close out the trilogy with one of their songs! They always make me nostalgic for Splatoon 1 (which is so a bizarre thing to say considering it doesn't feel THAT old but its almost 10 years ago)
Octarians and Inklings united against the mammalian menace. And even in 2, Calamari Inkantation had some power over DJ Octavio. This time, instead of fighting it, he's vibing to it.
That reminds me, in Splatoon 2’s story mode, Callie and Marie have some extra dialogue about Grizzco. Marie states that it’s pretty sketchy where the golden eggs go when collected. Nintendo was planning this. For a long time
Well it seems the dots are connecting. And it all started when we all played Salmon Run for the first time and met Mr. Grizz's bear like radio. To think he was an actual bear. The universe has blown my mind.
Tbh, I think Frye has the coolest fight despite being the earliest. Shiver is a close second. They both have pretty great tension. Big man's is a really cool reference, but it's a little slow paced
agreed, frye's is by far the coolest. with the eels all roaring, how many she controls, and how she's goofing off to show she doesn't really think of you as a threat without being too silly, versus shiver's constant puns. plus the fact we see say less eels than sharks in media and i really wish big man's fight had more to it than the reference, it would've been cool to see how a creature without ink could fight.
It's insane to know Deep Cut were challenging Callie and Marie into getting the treasure! Also am surprised Mr. Grizz was the antagonist, had a feeling it was coming; now this question: Who'll run Grizzco? What will the Inklings and Octolings do against major Salmonid attacks?
It's implied that the "Mr. Grizz" bossing us about in the field is just a set of prerecorded lines that play depending on the situation, such as a Cohozuna attack or a particularly incompetent crew failing to get a single egg. Grizz may be dead, but the "answering machine" setup he has going will continue running Grizzco.
"Booyah!" Probably the first and last time we hear/see the new Capitan (aka Agent 3 from Splatoon 1s story mode) say something even if it was just one word (unless the paid DLC planning to come god know when proves me wrong) Let that sINK in. 42:45
And it isn't even a Textbox, but an Emote, any Player could use(I Mean, Captain/OG 3 was the Splatoon 1 Player...). But the DLC teased something about Off the Hook... Maybe we can see what happens to Agent 4. Also My Idea for the Plot: Marina actually still wants a World of Order and used a Clone to Disguise herself as the Band Member we've seen in the Teaser. Now it's Up to New 3, Agent 4 and Pearl to stop her.
Hopefully when nintendo releases its new console (god knows when), Splatoon 4 will be one of the release games and that all agents 1 through 8 will be back, and hopefully splatoon 4 won't take place many years later, but 2-3 years later after the end of splatoon 3
Can anyone agree Splatoon 3 is better waiting for than FNaF security breach? Anyways, I'm happy about how Splatoon 3 went! Especially the story mode 16:16 Big Man became the new Phantom Manta from Super Mario sunshine 11:16 Shiver looks very cute with the tongue out
I am so happy that squid sisters can be with us during the whole game. Their new song is so touch and I don't know whether this is the last game they appear.
I thought Grizz might be the main villain ever since the Fuzzy Ink was shown It also helps that he's a genocidal maniac (murdering Salmanoids and abducting their children)
@@F1areon Well where are the eggs going then? I feel like the DLCs gotta adress this. Mr. Grizz is litterally lifelessly drifting in space, i doubt hes in much of a state to run a company lol
The fact Frye Controls Many Eels and Shiver Controls a fucken god damn shark makes them even more badass. Also there just treasures hunters so technically there not bad guys, just that were all after the same thing. Just a battle to see who claims first dibs in a god old battle. As for big man... his boss fight is so easy.... kinda makes me feel bad just for defeating him. But he gives us a fancy gear and moral support. Honestly these characters gives us an idea what they can do if fan decides to make fan stories of how they obtain there power and how each of them meet up. Over rall the fact we fight Mr. Gizzs in the final tells us all these times we fish for those power eggs where just a scheme to power up a damn rocket, though I'm not sure how he's gonna do it since well what he's gonna do, Ink Nuke it? Besides I don't think we see the last of Mr. Gizz yet or maybe he is. It's just werid for him to be killed off in space since he's a giant bear. Anyways can't wait for the DLC for off the Hook! Maybe we can see humans!
well the alterna log states how the last human died so I'm afraid there aren't humans anymore and I can't think about what more lores can be added for the DLC but indeed I think off the hook will probably get a role in the DLC, along with agent 4 and 8 too
I'm guessing Nintendo made Cap Agent 3 say Booyah! for her since we did play as her in the first game. But it is funny to see an inkling we played as become a character in Hero Mode.
they use booyah because its a reference to the fact that all splatoon protags are mute and dont actually speak. not to mention that its _specifically_ splatoon 1's booyah emote to really drive the nail home.
Ill say my favorite boss was the deep cut they really want the treasure this time dj octavio didn't got the zapfish that surprised me!frye brought back octostomo with eels shiver has a big shark! And big is the boss of super mario sunshine mr grizz from salmon run is a fat bear and told of to get the golden eggs all the time to take over the world! Also I love how deep cut blow their selfs with bomb. Also this is the first time DJ octavio help us with the zapfish.poor agent 3 captain he or she had to run so fast.also its the first time we soo agent 3 captain cry and everyone except new agent 3
I figured there was going to be something bear related, but I didn't think he would actually be a bear. Nintendo instead makes him look absolutely disturbing and adorable at the same time. At least he's not a robot.
Am i the only one who Noticed Deep Cut's ink has their logo in it? Its most noticable in Big Man's battle but im pretty sure you could notice it with Shiver and Frye too
@@mariolover1926 no problem! My parents think the shops that did sell the copy's will have to pay a big sum because early release is only for Nintendo partners like RUclipsrs
Poor Cuttlefish really got the short end of the stick here. Dehydrated to the point of nearly dying and suffering what was essentially a devolution since he now looks like a normal squid with his eyes and facial hair (and we don’t know if he’ll be restored)
He kinda deserves it for being terrible as a whole to the octarians but then again he could probably just rehydrate since the tear brought him back to life
The Fact that Big Man and the Phantamanta are basically the same fight, is probably going to cause people to theorize that Big Man was actually that boss in Sunshine. We have no idea WHERE Phantamanta comes from, it appears out of nowhere. But, this explains a lot. Mario takes places Millenia after Splatoon 3 and Big Man was compliant with Bowser. Who would've seen Big Man referencing a 20 YEAR OLD BOSS FIGHT from 2002?
I'm pretty sure the big man fight is a reference to super Mario Sunshine. At the hotel in super Mario Sunshine one level is a giant ray shadow and the "ink" is the same color in the game and in splatoon
Love how Frye, as far as I can tell, was the only one to throw a smoke bomb successfully- Shiver drops hers, and Big Man's doesn't go off right away
big mans doesnt go off because he dropped it in ink so the fuse was extinguished, which i thought was pretty funny. so he just stomped on it to set it off.
I think that she accidentally threw it into her respawn thingy and she went flying XD
I love how Dj Octavio went from the main villain and final boss kidnapping and hypnotizing people to the first boss in the game
And a final ally too.
Fr
It’s nice of him to change sides even for the fate of their planet
The last shall be first and the first shall be last
I really like how he's specifically the first boss it really sets the tone for the rest of the story mode
I love how Big Man's Boss Fight is the Manta Storm stage in Super Mario Sunshine. AWESOME!
Thank you I was thinking the exact same thing
I just typed that ! Like, the moment I saw it ! Awesome !
@@Gazing-09 Wow
The fight itself though is rather lackluster, but still more interesting than most of the fights from the original game.
lol
42:44 Captain 3 just saying "Booyah!" Just makes me WHEEZE OF LAUGHTER.
And it’s funny, cause she can’t speak
The deep cut and squid sisters collaboration really stunning!
Squid sisters>>
and Octavio in the 3mix
The deep sisters
The squid cut
I love how shiver summons a giant ass shark and fry makes a tornado of inky eels to the heavens to help agent 3 go to space.
And big man is like “here’s a space hat :3!”
I found it kinda wholesome and funny that Big man just gave a space hat 😃
@@beccabunnybazooka3478 Same!
It kind of reminds me of Alex’s glass helmet, from Minecraft Story Mode. And I kind of laughed a little bit
Don't forget the random horns that play out of nowhere when Big Man shows up.

Nintendo was planning this. For a long time
is Splatoon 3 better than Dragon Ball FighterZ?
I knew Mr. Grizz was someone shady, but I never thought he end up being the final boss here in Splatsville.
AND HE REALLY IS AN ACTUAL BEAR OMG
Well it seems the dots are connecting. And it all started when we all played Salmon Run for the first time and met Mr. Grizz's bear like radio. To think he was an actual bear. The universe has blown my mind.
And that he’s actually a fluffy giant bear. Funny to imagine a creature like that can create a industry of his own.
@techabz I swear look at that head. 😆
One more fact: he is the 3 Ursone anomaly…. There is more 2 to deal with

It also helps that he's a genocidal maniac (murdering Salmanoids and abducting their children)
For once, DJ Octavio is not the main antagonist.

crying rn. Tbh,the game is very beatiful,specially the story and characters.Im gonna miss so badly the splatoon 1 and 2 memories.
I was not expecting a Super Mario Sunshine reference; it was quite the turn!

because thats literally what it is. its a direct throwback to the manta fight with the same exact gimmick and dual ink color.
