[@iris1568]

If Splatoon was made for 16+, I think Salmon Run would have looked as dark as this. Imagine in Overtime it's not normal Salmonids who are coming after you, no.. it's the mutated bodies of Octolings and Inklings who ended up lost at sea who follow you around trying to get help or to drag you into the sea as well to become one of them, the mutated salmonid Octoling/Inkling zombies

[@Chaosbean-1443]

Oh man, this makes the idea of salmonlings terrifying. Honestly, salmonlings being mutated abomintions makes much more sense then them just existing soley because they would be a cool player character.

[@urielgonzalez2882]

I honestly feel they would be Just the most illegal And deformed breed of Warrior salmonids, Having long flat fins for limbs ( Example the Spongebob background fish maybe ) And a humanoid body With still intact salmonid heads instead of well, Humanoid or inkling And Octoling heads

[@SomeAutomaton]

If you look at the horrorboros you can see that they have two yellow antenna like things on their head, and if you look at Kaia you I’ll see she has two yellow hair things. I think Kaia was mutated into the horrorboros and you can still see where her hair used to be.

Idk why but the phrase “manual pharynx splitting” reminded me of a sea creature called the sarcastic fringehead, which can unhinge its jaw, I know jaw isn’t the same as pharynx, but it was just something to note

bro thats so sad though imagine being thrown/falling off a boat then being trapped in a ball with water that literally MELTS YOUR BODY and all you can do is sit there whilst your insides just dissapear thats so sad to think about

[@strangeactuallylegume]

It’s interesting that she could have been turned into a Horrorboros, because the Horrorboros sounds very different from the other two Big Run bosses. The Cohozuna sounds like your typical roar, and Joe sounds like a rock and roll yell, but still kind of a roar. The Horrorboros though… it sounds like agonized screaming, or something (or someone) in pain. If Kaia truly has been mutated into a Horrorboros, then maybe those screams are her writhing in agony, even after her presumably dying due to the experimentation… a chilling thought.

[@sprucebadger8229]

I mean "long live [name]" is usually attached to a king, and the horrorboros is considered a king salmonid... Your theory could very well hold water, with such thing as a video titled "long live kaia shirui"

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

I mean it has Horror in the name... so it makes sense

[@railfanmaximstill7279]

25:04 it is very possible this is how Marie found out about Mr Grizz being pure evil and then got confirmation when he stole the great zapfish. It's very possible Marie was hiding the fact that she knew Mr Grizz was behind the zapfish's disappearance and didn't tell Captain Cuttlefish or Agent 3

Or maybe it was intentional to say that someone was wrong... Something more than just her death...

[@gabrielvillanueva6394]

so it was (possibly) Grizzco’s fault all along? They just use youth inklings as their workers just to make a profit and without admitting their biggest secrets to the public? Even tried covering up the actual reality of the missing inkling despite being obvious that she’s dead already?

[@AverageTeenageYoutuber]

Idea: king salmonids are actually created by grizzco, and the reason they’re so rare is that they need YOU to collect the golden eggs for the process that transforms inklings and octolings into these hybrid creatures

[@thegameplayers494]

[@leochaichana7649]

17:14: at this moment i don't know if it's kaia's friends or some random inklings or octolings or something whatever it is, in this scene we heard that she was being punched by someone, and then put her into the baller then throw it into the sea and flow away. I don't know, but if you had heard this scene, here is my theory, the theory is that she knows what's going on about kaia's missing, but someone in her team either is two or Ren or someone else? Idk, shut her down and then throw her into the sea, it's like they are trying to cover the case, by throwing her into the sea and pretend that nothing is going on, they are trying to cover it, and they knew what are they doing, by throwing her into the sea alone because she knows too much, they are the part of the crime scene of grizzco industries and it is mess up!! So, how do you think about my theory?

[@G-force_GD]

20:02 an example of this was the last words recorded on the CVR (cockpit voice recorder) of PSA flight 182, which were “mom, I love ya.” Spoken by the captain.

[@NeoMagicStar]

I remember seeing a few theories around while reading dumb youtube comment sections about King Salmonid's being formerly other creatures, like Inkfish. When you mentioned it in this video, I just had to stop and remember that. When thinking about it, something like this always seems to scare me most. Loss of humanity is one of my favorite topics to explore in fiction and horror specifically, as it just tickles a little part of my brain that gives me all these wacky and weird ideas to ponder on. Something like this would be an interesting route to take for this series, and I'm looking forward to see if Jerm does take this pathway. Anyways, amazing analysis! Still freaking love the Grizzco Tapes. Can't wait to see more on this!

8:56 The picture kinda looks like a cropped photo of an inkling tentacle when they are in they’re squid form

[@nineCryptids]

The phrase “I’m Re- 2’s friend” kinda implies 2 *is* Ren imo. Like they were gonna say “I’m Ren’s friend”

[@jaunb_uwhwhw]

That would imply that there would be another person on Kaia's team as he said Ren and 2 and Barge and Kaia, and 2 is Ren, it would also amply that the new person had tried to keep Ren's identity unknown from the detective. Would Ren have something to do with the new missing person or Kaia?

[@rootbeerguy690]

​@@jaunb_uwhwhw Something I saw in the comments of tape 4 suggests Ren, AKA 2, was the Inkling interrogated by Grizzco at the beginning of the series, noted by how he references a 'he' falling into the water, referring to the other person that got lost in the storm surge and not Kaia, since Kaia's a girl. As for Barge, I personally think that's just the name given to the unit on the return ship, since the Chinook unit would likely be communicating with them about Kaia's disappearance, that's how I see it tho

[@domhawj1509]

“decayreturndecayreturn” really helps as to what is happening to kaia, because this could me she has already been mutated before. especially the birth date. 12/06/13XX can tell us she has probably been mutated so many times before, cause i don’t believe an inkling/octoling can live that long.

[@Numberonecatlover777]

it could have been a different crew/crew member in reference to the body found in the egg basket, which means there was probably another incident they just cleared up.

[@drendereye1629]

[@Foxyexe143]

It probably is

[@dairyblitz]

23:28 i think that Warabi actually was going to call 2 Ren, seeing as how he says "I'm Re- 2s friend", the statement "I'm Ren's friend" would make more sense grammatically. also as Warabi seems way more laid back with giving information, it wouldn't make sense for him to be a former Grizzco worker as there are very strict NDAs and Grizzco keeps an eye on fired employees

[@i8chocolatecake995]

23:31 that sounds more like he was referring to 2 as Ren, rather than himself, but thats just my take on that line

[@LumaKiyo]

I had a thought. The co-worker that was threatened had been told to have been missing TEAMMATES. The plural, not the singular. So Kaia wasn't the only one who went missing. Like you had said in the video, her story covered up the baller story, and my original thought was that the teammate in the baller had been rescued. But when I looked at a certain image (21:01), you can see a silhouette of the worker's hat. There was no inkling. It's likely that the worker in the baller had died.

[@ejm1225]

It probably would have been scarier if the baller was also filled with suspiciously murky water.

[@Squid_Salad]

in the game, mr grizz wanted the eggs to build a rocket to bring mammals back on top after he saw everything being ruled by marine life (he gets stopped but im assuming this is before the canon story event happened)

[@Mr_Puzzlez]

The cry to her mother made me almost cry since the mothers love is the most comforting thing ever, it helps you relax in certain situations like those. It made me pretty sad :-(

[@pennycat6317]

I'm gonna sound mighty dumb here but it'd weirdly make a lotta sense for Mr Grizz to speak human English. Also whilst it's canon Salmonids are a natural species, the idea of just a buncha them being experiments is terrifying

[@EVILSoapMan]

Why am I starting to feel like kaia's meant to be the little buddy from storymode? (The little smallfry partner in splatoon 3 whos also the cutest fucking thing ever made)

[@jojytheboos]

the inkling/octoling screaming for his mom and shit send chills down my spine

[@Christian-ll1hq]

Im not sure if this is related, but I’ve always theorized that the King Salmonid’s are mutated and modified versions of some Boss Salmonid’s, perhaps some of the Salmonid’s have noticed the inklings and octolings ability to (sometimes) work together to deal massive damage to enemies, so maybe they tried replicating that same destructive ability, then decided to harvest some of the inklings and octolings organs (if they have any), and somehow observe their memories, surgically implant the brains of the inklings or octolings into the Boss Salmonid’s before they become King Salmonid’s, but all they end up with are Salmonid’s that, while do produce the results they wanted, are in constant pain, which may explain the reason why they have horrifying screams

Here’s an idea, what if Grizzco is experimenting and mutating inklings and octolings into mammal like beings? We know that’s what Mr. Grizz was planning to do in Splatoon 3, trying to bring back the mammals as the dominant species of earth again, maybe this was before Mr. Grizz started using the fuzzy ooze?

[@haydenweir4452]

Ok now here me out I have a theory here , what if kaia was kidnapped by a salmonoid that had the fur goo on it and it dragged her into the see and she mutated into one of those fur things or she was injected with something that when she gets in contact with water the salmonoid part of her which was injected fully takes over just like the fur goo/ ink

[@2tontyler]

They’re really making analog horror out of anything these days. Wouldn’t surprise me if one day we get a Bob’s Burgers or Cookie Run analog horror.

[@rootbeerguy690]

To give my own theory on what's happening here, I think the big experiment Grizzco is perpetrating is a mutation given to the Salmonids in order for them to produce more Golden Eggs, but it had an unforseen effect, with the mutated Salmonids being able to infect other living beings with that mutation, with Kaia being a victim of that process, turning her into some twisted amalgamation, potentially with the goal of spawning more Salmonids to further advance to the mainland. As for Ren, 2, & Barge, I think Ren, 2, and the Inkling interrogated by Grizzco in Volume 2 are the same person, given the consistent nervousness and shock because of what he saw and the strict secrecy Grizzco has put on him as per company rules, meanwhile I believe Barge is just the other unit on the return ship, meaning we still have two of the four Chinook Unit members unnamed, the other survivor besides Ren, and the Inkling that was lost in the storm surge and left adrift in a Baller

[@engineeermaybegaming8029]

The fact the grizzco tapes are based on players falling into the water after a shift end, being "left behind", gives me a theory on what the idea of the mutation comes from In splatoon 3, several pools are made to farm scales such as OctoleetFarmingYT. To farm scales, one has to be on a full team and throw 5 games to fill up the salmometer to encounter king salmonids more easily, this is called "king throwing", so what if this volume is based on king throwing where grizzco employees are being sacrificed into the water to create king salmonids to get more scales? To be fair it's also explained in game that scales are very precious ressources, maybe more precious than golden eggs? And don't forget that all salmonids we see in game are fishes, yet they produce ink..

I feel like you came to the wrong conclusion regarding the police interview. With Warabi's near-slip-up, almost saying the name Ren, it seems obvious that they were forgetting to use 2's codename, and that Ren is 2. Since 2 says they were fired from Grizzco, and wanted to speak through a middleman to avoid persecution, it feels like a strange decision to have that middleman be a fellow coworker who was also there during the incident. sorry if i worded this poorly btw, i'm bad at constructing my thoughts into arguments

27:00 Maybe the reason the family is convinced Kaia is dead is because a decoy body was recovered as a cover-up for the muttation? I wouldn't put it past Grizzco in this series to take a lookalike, kill her, and use her as false evidence. For the different pronouns: Maybe Kaia is gender nonconforming. And finally: Perhaps the reason Kaia's case is the one with the most publicity is either because: -Grizzco has been finding teenagers with no families to use this on and miscalculated about Kaia -Perhaps Kaia is just the most convenient rallying-point, the most interesting missing person, the one everyone agrees did nothing to deserve this. The media is focusing on her and kind of skimming over the other victims because she's likeable/a bit of a symbol for all of them/interesting.
