Genocide twice

[@Zilear]

The fact that Mr. Grizz spent 12,000 years fully conscious with nobody’s company but his own is so sad. Loneliness and the sorrow of discovering that all mammals have perished corrupted him so much he tried to bring them back, even if it meant committing genocide. But in the end, he accepted that the era of mammals is over and accepted his fate.

[@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712]

I guess he try to gone full Tartar, is because he suffer the similar thing as Tartar. Loneliness really can corrupts the minds isn’t it ? And now, I wonder if the next final boss is gonna be birds, insects or other creatures.

[@LordSiravant]

The funny thing is that, in the end he was wrong. He isn't the only mammal left. If only he had encountered the Judds, he might not have turned out this way.

[@Zilear]

@@LordSiravant Judd and Lil Judd are now the only true mammals in the world. I’m hoping that Judd will be alright because rumor has it, Lil Judd resents him

Well dang when you put it like that I do feel bad for him. I hope maybe he'll meet Judd and see he's not the last mammal

[@laplongejunior]

@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 Tartar wasn't corrupted by loneliness, but by bad morals. He was evil to the core. There's a reason he's shown dying while Grizz is "merely" exiled in Space. Grizz was a way more sneaky opponent, but with the limited ressources he had it was partially sensible and it is even implied he was manipulated by the Goo during the boss fight. Tartar's only instruction was to find the successor of humanity, and pass it knowledge. Being in the unexpected case of finding two dominent species, he decided to wait to determine which one was worthy (Strike one : he could've given knowledge to BOTH) Then he decided that constant fighting and discriminating people over minor cosmetic differences was unworthy of humanity's knowledge (Strike two : maybe he should've read an history book?) And, as a result, the OBVIOUSLY sensible solution was to create a new race to replace the other two ones. Tartar genuinely wanted to bring destruction to fulfill his moral viewpoint about what deserves to live. Put blundly, Tartar saw himself as a God of pure moral who would never stop. Grizz, on the other hand, saw something opposite to the "natural order" *that we witnessed*. He was gifted with knowledge in a cryo sleep accident, and contrary to Tartar he has a limited life. Distraught to discover he is the only survivor of his entire specie and animal group, destiny gave him access to the remnants of humanity. From there the power of fixing what he considered a problem was given to him by the cristals, that had imprinted the desires of humanity, including the desire of expanding the territory. Grizz wanted to recreate life that was lost, and to manage it (maybe affected by the Goo's desire of expansion?) had to target the entire Earth. Put blundly, Grizz saw himself as a tool, Humanity's last chance to undo their errors. He was misaimed sure, but he had a genuine intent.

Perhaps the next Splatoon villains could be other new sea creatures, then birds, insects, and lastly survived or/and mutated humans. Edit: For the non human animals for the new villains, I personally recommend python, tiger, elephant, polar bear, vulture, eagle, komodo dragon, spider and rhinoceros beetle.

[@laplongejunior]

@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 "and lastly survived or/and mutated humans" According to the logs, humans had a very narrow chance of surviving, and the remaining survivors on Earth wiped themselves out in Alterna when the rocket damaged the cavern.

[@normanred9212]

@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 I'd say insects would be the best choice, or reptiles, or something original

[@normanred9212]

Don't forget that Craig and Octavio were old friends before the war. From everything Octavio has seen through the series, he has witnessed and felt how he and his Octoling brethren reacted to the Calamari Inkantation(an ancient magical song, most likely written by their gods), how hundreds if not thousands or more of his kind were awakened from the oppressive Octarian society, many of them fleeing to Inkopolis and other Inkling areas for refuge and safety. How it happened again in Splatoon 2, how many of his kind were taken by Tartar and grounded to goo and reforged. He has seen how his Octoling kind welcomed back and integrated to Inkling society, as many were over 100 years ago. Not to say that all Octolings and Inklings are friendly(we don't know much about the entire world, could even be enemy Inklings out there). But he knows his kind are once again friends and allies of the Inklings for the most part. I think he knows there ARE worse enemies out there than the rival Inklings(who are the first born)

Commander Tartar and his Blender and Blender Deathray: A human trying to preserve their knowledge for a future species, ends up killing over 10000 sentient creatures and using their remains to create a zombified army Grizz; Humans try to preserve some animal life and end up having one survive for 12000 years while concious and lonely, driving it to commit genocide to try and recreate the world it once knew Even the octolings and inklings and their giant turfwar can be linked to humans, being that they were driven to seek the surface because of their origins (the crystals in alterna which were filled with hopes and feelings of humans to go to the surface) so the octarians would want to try to go to the surface, and fight to do so

Dj Ocatavio helping us actually surprised me seeing as how he was the villain twice. But im glad he did cuz he really hyped the final boss fight

I don't know why, but the first songs of Mr. Grizz sounded like a Circus, or am I the only one?

Yeah idk why

Its seems a remix from salmon run theme but i don't know which one and what it is name of the theme..

like when you just enter the salmon run lobby

[@MusSupremeJAR03]

You know, I've been reading your comments, and it's true, the instruments and rhythm are very identical to the music of Salmon Run with the music of the Final Boss (especially with the Theme of "Happy Little Workers" that uses a kind of remix for the Final Boss)

[@BillyFlower-d7r]

Mr grizz's real name is djungelskog

[@strife2746]

Aw, man. I was really betting on the theory that he was the last remaining human.

[@tbjoshua8941]

Well maybe just maybe a human can be in the dlc

[@ziimulhah3223]

I like that he's not. Even with his goal being to bring back mammals, and humans by extent, him being a bear hammers in the fact that the age of humans is done, they're gone forever.

That's what they all say

My favorite line: "Ah, a setback. But this is a GROWTH INDUSTRY!"

[@moonheadhead1341]

This boss fight is awesome, the only thing I wish is that it had implications for salmon run, perhaps a new boss/disembodied voice of grizz co

[@Nahobinoah]

Apparently the Mr grizz in salmon run is an automated voice

[@badopinionssquid1735]

His statue changes, if that helps at all

[@wallystogner90]

I saw another comment suggest lil Judd is now the voice of grizzco as he wears a headset after you beat hero mode

[@motorwayt-s628]

The real question is what’ll happen to salmon run in the future? (Spoilers) It’s revealed in the secret log how the golden eggs were used to make the fuzzy goo and with mr grizz out of the way what will be the purpose of the company

[@personmchuman3367]

@@motorwayt-s628 To destroy salmonids, I’d guess. If left unchecked, they’re actually incredibly dangerous to the inklings’ and octolings’ societies. I don’t think golden eggs would be needed anymore though (unless they take them to destroy them).

[@somegem6344]

The music is terrifying. I love it

[@BlooperTyphoon]

Agreed. It IS terrifying, especially during Mr. Grizz's appearance and when his name pops up. Scary!

[@CrimsoNoobie64]

The amount of past splatoon game references in this game was lovely

[@malo3798]

is it weird that my favorite part of this entire fight is phase 3? before octavio shows up and before calamari inkantation plays? the music is so good and it lasts for such a short amount of time

[@firephoenix7788]

15:46 Quick question, what is stopping Octavio from taking over after Agent 3 dies? I mean, Agent 3 was hopping into the cockpit to steer the machine, and in a cutscene, you can see that Octavio is in the cockpit. So, nothing should be stopping Octavio from taking over the controls. (Also, another question, how do the enemies damage you while you are in the hatch when the enemies are outside the hatch?)

[@lalalandthinkr]

i have the same question abt the enemies damage while in hatch 😭 like how did that even happen. i kid u not the amount of times i screamed “how does that work??!?!” when an enemy pops up mid shooting a fuzzball

[@jacobgonzalez1386]

Octavio is currently live-mixing the heavenly melody. I assume that if he stops, Hugefry looses his powerup.

[@Jm-ki4su]

Grizzco fears the salmonid army. After you beat story mode, you can see the Grizzco radio has changed from a bear eating a salmon, to a salmon eating the bear.

[@SuperSavageBros64]

I do like how mr. Grizz is literally an actual bear.

[@kingomnom8317]

I like how the three lights are Dj octavio,the player and Smallfry

[@TarotistPlagueDoctor]

Agent 3: Are you a care bear? :""v Mr. Grizz: I'm an intensive care bear! >:v

[@KE-yq2eg]

I laughed my ass off when smallfry became all sparkly and turned into a Salmon God.

[@General_C]

I don't think Grizz considered that all that ooze growing on the planet would *probably* fuck it up beyond repair.

[@sunsetlover123-y7c]

I'm not a Splatoon fan. But god that finale gave me goosebumps. You saving the world alongside the first villain, accompanied by the kickass music that may invoke a sense of nostalgia for others...I think I might be a fan now.

[@GigaLem]

My reaction to this finale was as follows "When did Splatoon become Sonic Adventure 2?"

[@amyburnett8760]

Any day now the bear memes will be popping up. I think…

[@emiliomurkmere]

i honest to god never expected mr grizz to actually be a bear

[@dxrkerrxses]

I was so sad when I read the Alterna logs and found out Grizz's backstory. But it all added up. When you played Salmon run it was all planned, if you looked carefully on Art Polaris there were signs that said, "NO BEARS ALLOWED IN THIS AREA", his name is "Mr. Grizz" his last statue was a bear, and now just before the final boss Captain said, "Keep your paws off me!" You can tell im obsessed.

[@slice8fcake]

This is the weirdest game ending yet.

[@maimaiiolivia2711]

0:42 love seeing the captain coming but tired

[@SnipeMD]

Fun Fact: if you return to the Salmon Run lobby after beating the campaign, the little statue of Mr. Grizz with the small fish in his mouth will be changed to a statue of Little Buddy with a small Mr. Grizz in its mouth.

[@defierofdeath2463]

Gotta love the Salmon Run lobby music being remixed into some sort of boss theme during the rocket section. I thought that was really creative!

[@lilyaka9194]

THE INTERNET WAS RIGHT! HE IS EVIL

[@eddpumpkinboi4652]

I like how after beating mr grizz his statue becomes big fry eating his bear statue instead of him eating a salmon

i'm a grown ass man in my 30s and i'm pissing myself with laughter at a giant animated bear's "business speak."

[@ExGanonMain]

Admit it. We all died in the final battle and then won. Also Mr. Grizz reminds me of Senator Armstrong doing whatever he can in the name of business

"You will not receive severance paaaaayyyy...." *Explodes* Sorry but I find this funny since he refuses to be defeated without getting one last taunt in XD Almost reminds me of Jim Carrey shouting "Later Hater!" in the second Sonic movie.
