The crack in the dome is how you access Alterna from the crater, and is there from the beginning. The rocket would theoretically cause MUCH more damage despite us never actually seeing that, whether before or after completing Story Mode.

[@Erlow]

During the scene where you see the rocket take off, it **seems** like there's a large circular hole to let it through

[@hatbox_ghost981]

Thank you lol! I was just coming to comment this

[@YesterdaysMinder]

@@Erlow Extracting the variant model of the dome used in the launch cutscene confirms this, there's a circular hatch model added near the top roughly above the rocket. This hatch presumably leads to the big shaft you fall down after fighting Octavio, and by extension the surface.

[@Null82085]

@@YesterdaysMinder no that shafts was made specifically for the rocket in the first ever launch, the glitched purple hole is where you fell, it was smashed open by Grizz and caused damage to the dome, hence the purple glitchy affect

[@Electron86]

But didnt we fall through the big vault hatch that broke?

The "gang going hunting" is the ORIGINAL Squidbeak Platoon. That's Captian Cuttlefish in his prime. The image was originally a sunken scroll from Splatoon(2).

[@weebsquit347]

Splatoon is one of those games where going out of bounds is an experience. It gives more life to this world. It's very fun and interesting to see. Hope we get a part 2 for all the stages and stuff that eventually comes out.

[@oceanprince3147]

You actually get to see the top of Hammerhead Bridge! If the intro cutscene for a Hammerhead match takes too long (due to communication issues) the camera will pan up over the bridge itself and let us take a look at it. I have a clip of it when it happened to me during a Splatfest battle.

This picture was also a Sunken Scroll in the first game.

[@megametexe5129]

1:42 One other thing of note about that texture. The stage on the screen they’re talking about is muscle forge fitness. What is significant about this is it is a stage that isn’t currently in the game.

[@StuffsFluff]

I have a theory that's a way older build of the deep cut studio, since the map being showcased is a splat 2 map and is not in the game yet. Also I'd like to note the background of the older build, instead of papercut outs, its like a balcony view of the turf war tower or it could just be a really detailed set piece.

Obsessive Splatoon Fan things: 1:42 Musselforge Fitness from Splatoon 2! Doubt this means it's returning though, most likely just a placeholder 4:26 You can unlock splat and curling bombs and bring them into this fight--but what's interesting is these are the non-hero versions of the models which DO go unused for this particular level! 5:10 As someone else pointed out you can see this bridge for a brief second during the opening... You should have shown the NILS statue from Octo Expansion up close though!! Probably one of my favorite details is that it's just chilling in the water of this map. 6:00 Cool leftover from splatoon 1 where he's just wearing the poncho-esque garb. Maybe you can see into his shirt from certain angles? 6:52 Intersting-- the new model seems to be based on the player octolings with the 3d mask? Also, the eye color seems to be from multiplayer as well. 7:18 Sigh. That's Sunken scroll #15 from Splatoon 1 featuring the ORIGINAL Squidbeak Splatoon during the great turf war! You can see Young Cuttlefish, Judd, and Sheldon's Grandfather.

The animated intro looks incredible. The art style and posing and everything manages to fit within Splatoon's vibes.

[@MartinDerTolle]

5:15 you do actually see the bridge from the top very briefly when the match starts. When a player DCs right at the start of a match you get to see the top of the bridge for a little longer :)

[@burgerwithcurlyfries]

Cap'n Cuttlefish's torso is likely modeled because it was visible in his outfits from Splatoon 1 & 2. I assume some of the models are just edited from game to game as opposed to being completely reworked.

[@Awesome_Dawson_Films_Official]

How was it visible in 2?

Shesez hasn't played the first game enough if he doesn't recognized the original Squidbeak Splatoon from 100 years ago! The character that looks like Sheldon in the photo is actually his grandfather, Ammoses Shellendorf.

[@thelostmessenger]

Right, I was thinking the same thing

[@clappytriofan2098]

Yeah lol there was a couple of things that his missed throughout the video

[@91yugo77]

6:55 that's interesting, in Splatoon 1 and 2 they used to have eyes that only them had, now they have the eyes from the playable octolings

[@ocfos88]

The crack in the dome is explained in the logs you unlock during the story mode. They aren't where the rocket leaves, nor where the player enters - They're what caused the inhabitants to die, apparently.

[@someweirdo428]

I thought it looked more like a glitch than a crack

[@elli_senfsaat]

The crack is from Agent 3 falling to Alterna in the beginning of story mode. The dome of the original Alterna broke, killing its inhabitants, yes. But it was rebuild by Grizz, thus the crack we see is new

[@mariko_dx]

@@elli_senfsaat what? Agent 3 literally fell through the "main entrance".

[@scribblecloud]

nono that 'crack' was WAY bigger, it literally says all of the screens shattered, and it also says that mr grizz rebuilt them, which is why most of them work again in storymode. It is where the player enters

[@scribblecloud]

@@thegoldendiamond6762 why and why

[@HyperMario64]

8:05 is an excellent example of how to deal with complexity in software engineering while keeping a good amount of features. Having a visible and invisible track section is an unnecessary complex implementation (which can be prone to bugs and make performance unstable), instead simply bending the track around at the ends to loop back into itself is a clever way to deal with this. This may look weird, but all the train does is follow the track. They made it fully continuous. Very elegant.

[@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6314]

The world building in this series is immaculate

[@brandonl.7068]

So, the Jukebox found underneath the lobby (1:03) ended up being a spoiler of what is going to come in the next Splatoon 3 update just that in a "beta" form, very interesting 👀

[@bendy_bone]

6:01 his torso being molded is for when he and sh octavio have a 20 minute sex cutscene it’s a secret tho so don’t tell

[@an-ei]

Omigosh, thank you for covering this game! It's really amazing the level of detail and hidden objects there are where people would never be able to see them.

[@BoundaryBreak]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@chibz1790]

7:18 a part of me dies when someone tries to guess what something is in the game despite it literally being spelled out for everyone

[@skelyz]

Literally 😭 in splat 2 it says about the warrr

[@lotel5865]

The word appears at 2:15 resembles "ぼけて" which translates to "play the fool/make a joke", so the latter guess seems to be right.

[@lotel5865]

Adding to this, the comedy style: ぼけ&ツッコミ(one makes a silly joke, the other reacts critically) originates from Kansai region, which is regarded as the model of Splatoon3's city.

[@Archi_Teck]

5:05 it's actually the crack from when you first fall through the dome I think

[@dark_horizon706]

Yeah it’s always there l saw it the second l got to alterna

[@kiwi__1011]

2:43 it’s crazy how they put all this detail into something you’ll probably never notice

[@GnarlyBreak]

Update on 1:00 : The jukebox was work in progress and is now in the game and functioning

[@MagicalGirlFia]

10:21 O c t a v i u s

[@elliot_rat]

this gave me a conniption on god

[@omegaSomeone]

I think it’s his name in Italian and German. Not sure though. Edit: I checked on inkipedia, and it’s only his name in Italian.

[@Valdraya]

the text on the cue card almost definitely says ぼけて (bokete - 'act dumb', or 'say something silly'). you can see the ぼ (bo) is written with the left and right radicals (kanji components) the wrong way around but with the dakuten (vocal modifier sound, looks a bit like " ) in the right place, and the て (te) is written more like the equivalent katakana テ instead of the expected hiragana. you can see it's being aimed more towards frye because if they were a manzai (japanese comedy duo) act she would definitely be the boke (funny man) to shiver's tsukkomi (straight man).

[@victorpena8356]

the glimpse of the animator's studio shocked me What wonderful details, I had no idea it existed.

[@ARDIZsq]

Some things I'd like to add. The jukebox is called "Obj_LobbyMusicSelector," which when paired with WHERE it's found indicates that this Jukebox was meant to allow players to change the music in the Lobby. The Fuzzy Ooze Inkling thing could have been shown off MUCH better if you used an actual model viewer. The models are VERY easy to find online and using something like Blender would allow people to see better how the fuzz effect was created, mostly for those with little to no knowledge on 3D modeling.

[@teajai45]

I'm late in my response to your comment, but I don't think showing off the Fuzzy Ooze Inkling in a model viewer would've been viable. The hair cards are rendered in-engine with a shader (as is all of the fuzzy ooze and mammalian characters, including Mr. Grizz), so the Fuzzy Ooze Inkling's fur would appear _smooth_ in external model viewing software. You'd have to reconstruct the effect from scratch, and by that point it'd go from showing off how Nintendo achieved the effect to demonstrating how to replicate it. Seems like there have been some attempts at cracking how to render the fur shaders accurately in Blender (i.e. the SquidNodes plugin), but I haven't found any public releases for any of this stuff yet.

[@ddt3d617]

4:55 the dome breakthrough texture is used in game, you can see it in the main hub world. Also, the skybox is the hub world skybox but pink, also the hole in the skybox is always there

[@smolenbyy]

That is so cool that the juke box was already there before the dlc

[@yggdrasilsaltar]

splatoon games always have alot of stuff that players cant see that helps so much with world building (all of the stages in splatoon 1 were interconnected) and im glad they went out of the way to do stuff like this

[@xlplus]

I remember watching Splatoon 1s boundary break episode back in middle school, now I’ve graduated and even more hype seeing this get posted! I would love if you went back and did splatoon 2, especially Octo expansion!

[@PastelSolar]

That is so cool that you could see the jukebox before and it was added to the game later. I loved seeing the art that isn't displayed normally that is so cute

[@matthewmega4066]

7:22 that’s actually a picture from the great turf war! It’s used in both splatoon 1 and 2 aswell

[@tandem2003]

9:35 something also cool i noticed about this as a splatoon 1 veteran is that originally it used to turn the players and weapons invisible that were on the map as the game ended but an update came out that kinda broke this

[@mimi.sues.]

Is nobody talking about that animated intro?? It looks absolutely amazing!! 🔥

[@CYBERR0CKS]

The reason the top of hammerhead bridge might be fully modeled could be because Nintendo knew we could see it the first 1 or 2 frames at the beginning of the match as your player loads into the spawner. But knowing nintendo and this game, it's probably pure coincidence. The enemy octolings eyes under the goggles are actually a customizable option for your player which is the watermelon eyes near the bottom Shivers eye under the peekaboo can actually be visible in normal game if you view her from the side at splatfests when she dances The "gang out hunting" in ammo knights is the original squidbeak splatoon with sheldons cousin shellendorf and a younger captain cuttlefish

[@tray6662]

I wish squids were real

[@Keychan64]

I wish marina is real

[@ichinosenatsuki9335]

The sign that the jellyfish director is holding does look like 「ぼけテ」 which means roughly 'be funny' or 'crack a joke', so the second suggestion would likely be correct.

[@JPEGRUBYSOUL]

5:11 it would be cool if in the next episode we could see the statue from octoexpansion in the distance from up close

[@DangerDurians]

It would be cool to see this revisited during a splatfest As a bunch of the closed doors in the hub open up to jellyfish food stalls

[@theawsomecheese9714]

7:18 The newspaper is actually showing the original members of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the Great Turf War, the members being Sheldon’s grandfather, Captain Cuttlefish when he was young, Judd, and one of the Inklings fighting with them

2:35 oh the spooky inkling painting from splat 2 is back now in more detail Shesez we need more of this when the major updates come out (im really curious on how inkopolis and splatville look like on Hammerhead bridge as well as the NILS statue i wonder if it was just pulled straight from Splat 2, speaking of splat 2 one of the splatfest stages MC. princess diaries (Dear Senpai in JP) takes place somewhere under hammerhead bridge since the NILS statue was also one of the main points of the stage too)

[@kbhasi]

(1:05) Months after uploading this video, some fans pointed out that the jukebox will likely appear in the (as of posting this comment) Fresh Season update! (1:41) That looks like it was from a beta build of the game before the development team decided to change the screen image. (3:23) I'm thinking it was a placeholder or placement marker.

[@xraenon1664]

I’m pretty sure someone else already pointed this out, but one of the pictures in Ammo Knights (Sheldon’s store) is actually taken from one of the Sunken Sea Scrolls of the previous games. The Sea Scrolls are hidden collectibles that offer more lore and world building when found, and this particular one shows the first Squidbeak Splatoon, the predecessor to the New Squidbeak Splatoon that the player joins in the story mode. Ammoses Shellendorf, Sheldon’s grandfather, was part of this unit.

[@lucaspikula4953]

the bridge is modeled because images of it get used as artwork cuttlefish is likely modeled under his shirt due to splatoon 1, where he had no shirt and just the old rag he wore that picture of a gang "going hunting" was a picture of cuttlefish with shellendorf and other inkling soldiers during the great turf war.
