That's not even the worst part about Sanitization. I don't remember whether this was said in an interview or in game, but I'm pretty sure that the reason sanitization turns someone green is because you extract the memories and desire of a person, turn them into physical form, extract the consciousness, then make a new body *out of the blended ink* and place what's left of the consciousness in there. That's why they're green. The form just resembles what they used to look like. But that's also why the green effect isn't reversed after you gain your memories (like we saw with Acht regaining memory and still not going back to normal.) sanitization is terrifying. E for everyone does not always mean for kids.

The octarian technology also gets very dark. The octoweapon you showed; the Octo Oven? Well it used to be an industrial grade oven, but it launched bread out so hard they went 'well, we can make this a weapon' and baked actual Octarians into the bread to be utilized. Biotech is pivotal to how the Octarians survived being forced underground, and even if the octarians in question might have been okay with it, it is super messed up when you think about it. The Duality of splatoon's light hearted aesthetic coupled with it's deeply terrifying subject matter is a boomerang that keeps hitting me in the face.

Just to clarify: Humanity in Splatoon world didn't go extinct because of ocean levels rising, that was explained in Splatoon 1's guide, but in Splatoon 3 is revealed that the global scale conflict triggered a lot of natural disasters besides the increase in the ocean levels, like volcano eruptions, massive earthquakes, high pollution levels, diseases and so on. Even if the ice in both Earth poles melted, it's not enough water to flood even half of the Earth's surface. I think that's why Nintendo changed the story about humanity's extintion.

I have been part of the splatoon lore community for a while now so I’m just going to help clear a few smaller things up for people and patch a plot hole or two in the story. 1. While the splatoon 1 lore comic is pretty useful for gathering some idea of some of the story before humans went into the underground domes, it is very outdated and the information in it could be entirely wrong at this point in the story. But Splatoon 3 clarifies what actually caused the mass extinction event with the Alterna Logs. While there still probably was a raging war humanity got destroyed more by a collection of bad timing with natural disasters including various intense volcanic eruptions along side serous sea level increases. 2. The reason why the Alternan’s chose a rocket to escape to the surface and not just use the tunnels out is that that was a product of Nintendo of America changing parts of the lore when translating it. In the original Japanese version the goal was to y’know actually go to space with the Spirit Lifter and not just see the surface. 3. While it is true that the Inklings and Octarians have a modern day feud it is another Nintendo of America translation that led to the feud being related to race. The actual reason for the ongoing feud is much more Interesting. It is all related to the idea of two rival nations giving propaganda to their people to dehumanize each other. While both ways each of them use propaganda differ with DJ Octavio being much more intense with having diagrams depicting inklings as mindless savage animals in classrooms, while Inklings have Octarains losing the war because of their inferior number of limbs. 4. This one is a bit nickpicky but Tartar’s goal with the N.I.L.S. Statue wasn’t to control all of Inkopolis but to eradicate all sentient marine life using the DNA of the best test subjects who would be a « Primordial ooze in which a ultimate life form would emerge ». 5. The blended Octolings and various other sea creatures aren’t actually used to sanitize the Octarains but instead as I said before, used to make the Primordial Ooze. They use a special sanitized ink to remove the soul of the Octarain and then they fill it with a replacement that then controls what the Octarain does. Sorta like how we clean bacteria to insert our own DNA to control the bacteria. Btw this isn’t to say this video is bad, I actually enjoyed it a lot! I just always like to clarify some lore details because there is so much lore misinformation in the splatoon details that it’s always good to inform people ‘bout the proper lore. Thanks for making this and getting the lore side of splatoon out there more!

I think it's cute. But just because I like the idea of them being gay doesn't mean they are gay, there are only hints of them being gay due to the dialogue in Side Order, which can easily be interpreted as them being close friends as well. Basically, you don't have to like a person's opinion, but there is no reason to blame people for making things gay when they aren't making things gay.

I think the Octolings/Octarians stayed underground at least semi-willingly after the Great Turf War because of DJ Octavio's brainwashing or whatever it is he's up to. The Octolings who ended up in the Metro are most likely ones who heard the Calamari Inkantation during Splatoon 1's final boss fight(and potentially Splatoon 2's depending on the timeline for when Octo Expansion happens) and became curious about the surface, eventually looking for ways to escape and winding up in the Metro. So they literally just wanted freedom after being exposed to a world they were conditioned to hate and then got turned into goop instead. also 4:06 ive never watched neon genesis evangelion but my brain has decided that those things are squid evas

Small correction-the Octarians aren't brainwashed! At least, not in the same way Callie was. While they have been fed anti-Inkling propaganda, they're not under any actual mind control-it's moreso just another example of how militarized Octarian society really is rather than any kind of villainous plot.

Comments by someone who likes this franchise a Very Regular Amount, mostly to add information to people who don't know the lore 0:07 I say it's still marketed more like a casual experience (kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2aZnZRorrOqpZI). Japan's market is just more into quirky unconventional stuff I believe 0:51 There were *at least* 5 world wars (to my memory) 4:34 I believe this is to reflect real-life inkfish being cannibals. They eat the not-sapient, less evolved species if that somehow eases your consciousness 6:34 cough cough after alterna cough 6:52 Sanitized ink is made for the giant laser statue, Tartar's goal was to make the "perfect lifeform" out from the most intelligent test subjects somehow. It also can make Sanitized Octarians, and presumably sanitize other species 8:02 Agent 8 was actually subject 10008, so at least that many people were tested, but not necessarily accepted into being blended. Octarians weren't the only species to go through the trials, as Iso Padre (giant isopod) was also a former test subject Feel free to make corrections or add tidbits of your own

Join the Discord :) discord.com/invite/Q4qZR86FUn Also i want to clear up something I got wrong. This obviously doesn't retract from the tragedy that is TarTar, but he didnt blend 10000 Octolings. For one Isopadre (who he is isnt important) is said to have gone through the trials and escaped successfully, meaning it wasnt just Octolings (hes a fucking isopod, this game is LITTERED with puns like this). More importantly, i LITERALLY say in the video that he first tested them to see if they were worthy of being apart of the Blended Ink, meaning not everyone was worthy of being blended. It could be argued that he blended them anyway and just disposed of the waste, but I think the more likely answer is that he would just simply sanitize the unworthy ones. Also i accidentally cut a line out of the video that I wanted to share. Deadf1sh willingly became sanitized so they could let go of their fears and doubts, allowing them to put all of their focus into making music. Thank for read, love you

What I think is interesting, is that the turf war (the war, not the sport) stuff only occurred in the Inkopolis area. Only the Octarians in Inkopolis were forced underground. Octolings like Shiver’s ancestors weren’t involved, or atleast weren’t forced below ground.
