Splatoon Side Order - Asynchronous Rondo's Singing

Playing some of this boss's voice clips in order results in a tortured rendition of Ebb & Flow.

[@kiricappuchin]

On the normal speed, it creeps me out, like listening to the cries of a miserable animal. On 2x speed though, it sounds like me trying to hit the high notes of Ebb & Flow in the shower.

[@PomLamb]

To me it sounded like the ramblings of a drunken inkling stumbling out the club hammered out of their mind.

[@BranJohn98]

Oh this is absolutely hilarious actually The fact that she's still mostly hitting the notes until the end makes it even funnier

[@mystrenula3911]

Until it starts screaming

[@deefelloff]

I have this headcanon theory type thing that the bosses are all parts of Eight's unwanted memories. Parallel Canon are the judgemental inklings or Squidbeak Splatoon members. Pinging Miracle are the bad memories of the octoweapons or the eight ball. And the Asynchronous Rondo are the bad memories and trauma that eight has about fighting through the Deapsea Metro. I don't know if anything here really holds water, but that's how it feels like to me.

[@cringeopedia]

Nice headcanon/theory!

[@randomperson11111123]

Asynchronous Rondo is the blender, clearly.

Creepy pasta theory about this, it’s dead octolings who were forced to fuse together (like the cluster from Steven universe) and while they may have lost their minds they still remember ebb and flow from inkopolis square and it’s the only calming memory they have so they keep singing it

[@downbeatdialga1341]

I know it’s just a machine in Marina’s virtual reality, but for it to screech Ebb & Flow of all songs, it’s like it’s crying out for Marina-its mother-to put it out of its misery under Order’s control. I’ve come to view Ebb & Flow (and by extension, Fly Octo Fly) as a really special song to Pearl & Marina. For Marina, it was initially just a demo to help her break away from Octavio and the sanitization of the Deep Sea Metro. It was a fervent prayer for a better life on the surface, acceptance of Octolings; it’s a song of liberation. So for that same song to be what this boss is wailing, it’s like it’s calling out for Marina to liberate it from Order’s control, even if that freedom only comes with death. Least that’s how I view it anyway

[@dianaaggron134]
