A thing you didn’t mention was that Mr. Grizz actually did survive the explosion. If you watch the credits and look closely, you can see him floating around, still alive. I feel like this has to be a hint at his return in some form, since if they wanted to get rid of him, it would’ve made more sense to just not show him again, but this was done intentionally. People are already speculating that Lil’ Judd took over Grizzco, so maybe Mr. Grizz may have a supportive role if he comes back.

[@aidan6358]

True that

[@cheeseitpuffsthe4orthandahalf]

I think there’s a possibility mr grizz is actually dead, because floating through space is not something you need life for

1. it said that bear #3 was the only survivor 2. if you look at the other alterna logs, then you can deduce that they used the crystallized ink that the scientists were working on

[@weirdalexander8193]

It also said that the crystals both store and project desires. You want more mammals? Here you go Ted :-)

[@Aidea._.]

The crystals were also what accelerated the evolution of sea life, reflecting humanity in the creatures the squids and octos that consumed the crystals in the ruins of Alterna

[@toadbackflip_2687]

no??? did you play the fucking game it literally makes no sense that bear #3 was the only survivor

[@iwatchyotube]

The reason Cuttlefish is forced into a squid form and all dried up is because when Agent 3 is listening into the Radio Transmissions between Mr. Grizz, and Cuttlefish is because Mr. Grizz states that Cuttlefish’s Brain is exactly what he needed.. Before cutting out. Which is most likely Cuttlefish is laying there lifeless.

[@AlunKahul]

My favorite Easter egg is that Big Man’s Fight is actually a reference to Super Mario Sunshine. In Sunshine you fight a Shadowy Manta Ray that splits in half and leaves ink trails right behind just like Big Man. The name for the boss is even “The Manta Storm” and Big man’s boss intro calls him “The Hype Manta Storm”.

[@scrippscrapp]

That's the first thing I thought of when fighting him I'm glad I'm not alone

[@joaneminxy]

You forgot one thing, Li'l Judd. Li'l Judd gains a headset after beating the game for unknown reasons. People believe it has to do with Grizz Co but it still remains a mystery. Not having the Judd's in the story mode Titled "Return Of The Mammalians" just makes me believe Li'l Judd will reveal his backstabbing plan in the DLC.

So with Little Buddy/Smallfry after rewatching the transformation scenes a lot because I loved it so much, it hit me. I think the reason he transforms is the same reason that Mr. Grizz is a GIANT bear. (since he was presumably a normal sized bear before). Little Buddy has been spending the entire story eating those fuzz balls. Those fuzzballs were made by mr grizz combining those crystal things with his fur. So Little buddy basically has a lot of those crystal things inside him. Similar to how they reacted to the wishes of the humans and then reacted to the wishes of Mr. Grizz I think now after all the fuzz balls he ate, they're reacting to Little Buddies desire to save the earth/fight Mr. Grizz/be a big boy (whatever motivated him) Edit: my above explanation does not take away from the fact the calamari Inkantation was 100% involved. I didn't mention it cuz I assumed it was a given. I just think the song + the fuzzballs is what lead to the perfect combination of events that led to the creation of hugefry. I think the crystals resonated with the song and hopes of little buddy and all marine life.

[@MutedAndReported3032]

The Calamari Inkantation as well, cause we know this song has special properties.

[@alexwixom4599]

That's a perfect explanation, although I personally believe singing the calamari incantation was part of the process.

[@WoopsieWooper]

@@alexwixom4599 oh 100% the calamari inkantation was a very important part of the process as it has been in all 3 games. The transformation would have never happened without it. I just didn't mention it because when I typed it I had already considered it a given since the transformation happens right as the song starts. I edited my comment to include that the song was also involved

[@cristinagomez3283]

Theories as to how Cap'n cuttlefish got revived: Cap'n cuttlefish isn't an inkling, and as such, can survive water. Inkling tears aren't actually water. Dehydrated inklings can be rehydrated with water, and brought back. Also, the saddest part of the ending was Mr grizz saying "you will not receive severance pay."

[@tamanakio7552]

Inkling or not, he IS a living creature. They ALL need water.

[@leonardoalves7198]

Cap'n Cuttlefish isn't a Cuttlefish despite his name, he's an inkling just like Callie and Marie Inklings and octolings still need water to survive

[@themushroominside6540]

Inklings arent allergic to water its just that too much water can make them pop, I like to think of them as liquid filled membranes that swell up due to osmosis, with water wanting to enter the body rather than exit, this also in turn dilutes the ink they are comprised of and cause them to burst when surrounded by water. This is why i think rain is a relative non issue for them unless they get stuck in a typhoon or flood, though that begs the question why they have an entire water park resort.

[@young_G_glitch]

Whatever they do, I just hope they don't end up rehashing Octo Expansion again. The rocket section is just a bad bootleg of the Kamabo Corp escape, and the actual style of levels (which btw were painfully short an unfulfilling) was just Octo Expansion 2 Electric Boogaloo.

[@theburg3286]

I think that maybe it isn't all sad: the lore stuff says how it was a human essence imposed on the squids and octopuses (I think), so basically it is human essence in squids, so they live on in some way.

Pretty sure inklings don’t just die when they touch water, they need water to survive, as seen with Cuttlefish before the final boss. They probably die when submerged in too much water. The new captain (old Agent 3) “reviving” Cuttlefish implies that he wasn’t actually dead, but dehydrated as Callie states. Yes, this is stupid and yes, you can reply with ”🤓”

Ok so here’s my theory. Mr grizz is still alive and I’m pretty sure we all know that at this point and it’s hinted that lil Judd took over salmon run. But the big runs still happen which I feel like people are forgetting about. I think Mr grizz is still helping to do salmon run but in a good way to help the salmon not invade inkopolis and kill them all and I don’t think he’s evil as he has accepted the world will not become all mammals at the end of the boss fight. And for those wondering, the power eggs are probably now used to power inkopolis

[@serpentmaster1323]

I think the return of the mammalians lore is so interesting. At first I didn’t like the thought that the squid’s evolution was sped up because of the hopes and dreams of the dead humans. But it’s kind of poetic and symbolic of real evolution. When the age of reptiles was over, mamals filled in the leftover niche. Squidkids just filled in the leftover niche of a civilization. Return of the mamalians strait up says the mammalians may be gone but their essence is still here. Just like the dolphins filled in for the ichthyosaurs and the birds filled in the terasaurs. But there is one ‘mamalian’ left kinda. 1 the great zapfish clearly contacted some fuzzy ooze and survived. And ORCA while not an organic being is a whale- an aquatic mamal. It makes me wonder if return of the mammalians isn’t complete yet, if ORCA will find a way to regenerate whales to live with the inkling and octolings.

He also has a full Salmon Run-themed deck of cards in Tableturf battles. Also, if I’m not wrong, one of the sunken scrolls says that lil Judd harbors a hatred or resentment for either Judd, Inklings/Octarians or at least his position in life.

[@an_earthling03]

If you looked at the credits you would have seen Mr. Grizz floating around in space probably shifting the salmon run shifts

If Mr. Grizz comes back i hope he realizes he cant defeat us and just runs his business like that: a business. Without a secret plot behind it.

[@dinokid1011]

Mr grizz is alive in some form due to him being able to breathe in space and also being seen floating in scape with his eyes open as one commenter stated

[@Aisenhelm]

At this point I think Grizzco will become a energy supplier, we know that the golden eggs hold power witch is why grizz was collecting them first until he though of stealing the zap fish so I think grizzco will still be around probably under a different name. We still know that the octolings are still struggling with power, then theirs that eerie comment that deep cut said about the zap fish looking different could mean that the zap fish itself is losing it power? but that's just a theory.

[@iaminpain1716]

Something of note: Mr grizz said that he wouldn't underestimate the squidbeak spaltoon leader AGAIN, meaning that not only does he know who cuttlefish is, but also has probably foughten him in close combat (or as close as bear and a military leader can get) but cuttlefish is now not only no longer the captain, but he is also a smelly old man, meaning the Mr.grizz fuzzball discovery was founded while cuttlefish was at his prime AND that the crystals had somehow granted him immortality including a substance that can turn living creatures into mammals

In 3 it talks about how they made it and what its used for and 5 it talks about how this liquid effectively accelerated the Squid, Octopuses, and many different sea creatures' evolution by influencing their impulses to the point where they effectively forced many *many* generations of lives that would normally take much longer than 3k+ years (since only 5k years had passed since Alterna's Collapse and there would still need to be some time in order to cause such changes and to also traverse the world by land with a body not perfectly suited for walking yet so I'll say they left after 3k years of evolution) in order to satiate this impulse to walk on earth's surface.

octolings and Inklings don't die when they touch water. they just can't swim, the dissolve is just a game play mechanic or maybe a Defensive measure so they can revive on dry land.

[@pokegirl1799]

bro... ...Marina literally said in Splatoon 2 during one of the announcements that "water is deadly to us." And the context was Pearl saying "Remember to drink up, gotta stay hydrated!" with her response being "that sounds well and good... until you remember that water is deadly to us"

Fun fact after the story mode when you go to salon run the statue turns into a samon holding a bear

[@ronanhayes5813]

You should do a video of a possible return of the humans and how this would affect the story and gameplay as ink can't really effect them

[@sealover7134]

It says in the logs humans went completely extinct. After Alterna's collapse and crash landing of the Ark Polaris, I think it is safe to assume Humans are gone.

[@ronanhayes5813]

I know that I just thought that different groups of humans did something similar but just got lucky but I can understand your point

[@Miguel-iv5ft]

@@sealover7134 Remember this, humans were at war before the calamity, so there is a possibility that some humans are still alive.

[@sealover7134]

@@Miguel-iv5ft Oh I know about the war, but those Orca logs managed to record the launch of the Ark Polaris--which launched roughly before Alterna was established (as far as we know anyway). If there had been other survivors, wouldn't the log have also recorded them as well?

[@Miguel-iv5ft]

​@@sealover7134 The ark was launched after the hour 00:00 (The nuclear bomb) so it probably that the sides of the war not share their info about their own "Alterna". Anyway, we would need more info about the last human war, and how advance was the humans in this universe.

After you beat the story the bear statue canges into a seal statue in the salmon run lobby. So salmon run might be under new management.

[@young_G_glitch]

the grizco music remixes were so banging honestly and i think mr grizz is still alive cause salmon run after the game is completed he is still talking in salmon run

[@supercat765]

7:00 Mr.Grizz finding "Crystalized liquid spread all over the walls" I am sure that is just the liquid crystal that makes the sky in alterna. And is the same stuff that is the main component of Inkling Ink. basically he came into contact with the raw mutigenic Psychic Technicolor liquid goop.

[@randontimberwolf4007]

Mr. Grizz is still alive, the explosion severally damaged him but if you look at the debris during the credits he's not dead. his eyes are still glowing and full of life. He's just left to float endlessly in space

[@joshsanchez9793]

11:10 I remember that the song is a sacred and that was what powered up lil buddy. I think thats the lure

[@zkosmith1662]

People who played Splatoon 2 only: hopefully mr grizz is not a bear. People who only played this one: guys I think he is a bear. People who played both: Now I feel like a idiot

[@TastyCookies69]

You forgot the bad ending if you run out of time at the end you get a special cinematic.

[@Icecreampizzaa]

Agent 3 landed perfectly on the rocket Smallfry: Ow ow ow augh.. pefect landing :)

[@ogibbou5876]

I'm not 100% sure that I'm right but at the beginning of the campaign Mr Grizz actually grabs captain cuttlefish and drags him down after the octavio fight which is just a really cool detail

[@alicelee4113]

Mr. Grizz is actually alive. you can see him floating around the planet in space for a small time before he floats offscreen.

[@Da_speaka_wit_da_bread]

Lil fry just straight up goes super saiyan

[@goopyaxolotl9849]

I just noticed that in Splatoon two Pearl comments on how the great zap fish looks smaller than she thought and in Splatoon three shiver also comments that it looks a little different

[@yaoimafia]

my theory is that lil judd is actually the new mr grizz, in tableturf he has a deck themed to salmonids and its stated that he hates judd and plans to kill him since hes jealous of him, so maybe the dlc will expand upon this

[@monroerobbins7551]

Honestly, I thought out of anything, I didn’t expect Mr. Grizz to just… be a bear. A really fat bear, but a bear none the less. I dunno why, but I didn’t expect it to be so straightforward, lol.
