Splatoon Theory - SOMETHING is Wrong with Earth's Magnetic Fields.

[@catcocomics1601]

fun fact, the magnetic polar reversals of Earth happen roughly every 12000 years. Just as Splatoon is likely going through one or about to go through one, we now are on the verge of experiencing one ourselves.

[@acenerd2278]

exact date please?

@@acenerd2278 we don't know when it's going to happen until it happens, though we do know we're well enough over-due for one.

YES! I think i forgot to mention that piece of info in the video, but the fact were supposedly long overdue for a reversal is one of the reasons why I came up with this theory!

[@Spletz]

Actually according to NASA it happens every 200,000-300,00 years

Geomagnetic reversals are really interesting and kinda terrifying. Some scientific papers explore the idea of past extinctions being linked to the weakening (or total disappearance) of the magnetic fields.

Sorry this is late y’all but here are some studies on the topic (KZbin is weird with links so I’ll post names and authors, you should be able to look them up): • “Consequences of Very Small Planetary Magnetic Moments” by Billy Mccormac and John Evans • "Magnetic Polarity Transitions and Biospheric Effects" by Karl-Heinz Glassmeir • "Influence of the Earth's Core on the Origin and Evolution of Life" by Robert Uffen There are more but I can’t find them right now, although these three cover the basics from what I’ve read.

after staying away from splatoon for a bit, seeing the splatoon 3 trailer dragged me back into the fandom. i remember obsessing over octoling hypnotism and octoling lore and stuff like that, wheeze

[@karlapinkie7697]

A very interesting topic to bring up around the lore of splatoon, anyone else would probably brush it off their shoulder. Great video! *baby wail*

[@bluebirbjayy]

Well, we do know that us, the stupid humans, nuked a polar cap before the events of splatoon, so I wouldn't be suprise if something got messed up thanks to the act of stupidity.

The magnetic fields are formed through earths core spinning. So I don't know what your talking about.

i actually did think about why Moe, Craymond and the Great Zapfish can effectively levitate and fly, and i attributed it to "weird magnetic evolution," especially since the zapfish is a zappy boy obviously it doesn't explain the other two but i can dream! im really excited to see this come together! (quick edit because i forgot an entire word!)

The whole space time thing might have been to explain how you can do the octo expansion after the main story mode when canonically they happen at the same time, because it happens when you main inkling listens to the subway

[@Shrezin]

it's also to explain the surreal environments with stuff floating in the void of every level

[@blu_aaa]

I actually never thought this was really reverent when I first heard about this via the game texts which only references this problem very breifly before just forgetting about it entirely. But i'm rlly glad you spoke about it here and I'll def keep up with your splatoon lore content, its really interesting :o

[@WingedSupernova]

I wonder if Mr. Grizz will be the main antagonist of Splatoon 3 and utilize the golden eggs and electromagnetic fields to open some sort of portal. If so, we're going to have a really weird final boss fight.

[@UltravioletNomad]

I'm sure you're already having idea about this, but its just a fun coincidence the Splatoon 3 reveal happened not long after you posted this. I think the theory geo magnetic reversal is good. I personally also feel there's reason to believe that the shores are beginning to recede along with a lot of the other enviromental changes that have happened since mollusk civilization took to dry land. Its worth noting that fair number of environmental conditions come together to form a temperate climate that helped mammalian life flourish and helped us as humans reach prominence. It might be fair to assume that sapient mollusk life also exist as it does in splatoon for a fair set of conditions that made it preferable and or necesary to live on land. Said conditions could be the change of tides, drastic change of sea temperature, change in magnetic poles, you name it. They could have been effects that made it harder to live on sea, or positive effects that gave them more options to live on land. Outside of the potential of outside interference, changes in Salmon Migration could be any number of thing. As your theory call into question the focus of magnetic fields as they relate to salmon run and mollusk biology, I would also question the mechanics of the changing tide levels during matches, and how that could relate aswell. Now seeing the reveal trailer, with a focus on this barren wasteland outside of the city, I'm left wondering if some of this was underwater at some point, long before mollusk claimed dry land.

[@drnarwhal2888]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the tides are receding in Splatoon 3

[@Dinomatrix21]

Maybe the magnetic force in octo expansion is how agent 8 goes back in time to try the last level again, since they actually die outside of the test track, and since it supposedly distorts spacetime.

[@ThGunk]

hmmm maybe idk if it's that majoy though, i think canonically agent 8 just lives and the player just sucks if they die idk

[@CrimsonGrowlithe]

What if the reasons the humans fired at the Arctic was because of the poles shifting, knocking the warhead off course.

[@mikedrxp]

The superconducting quantum interference device actually being called SQUID is the most perfect thing I've heard all year

[@NXTangl]

I mean, it's pretty much this or Splatoon somehow develops into the One Piece earth. Especially given that One Piece's erratic electromagnetic fields are known to be correlated with the weirdness found on Grand Line islands. They do already have Fishmen.

[@Everettalla]

My big theory is that all inklings live on a supercontinent with little islands peppered around a short radius of the supercontinent. Similar to Asia, most cities are on the coast, and the splatlands are in the middle of the supercontinent. There’s probably more sizable ‘island’ on the other side of the planet in this universe that Inklings just haven’t discovered yet. Also bold of Nintendo to put like icebergs and stuff in the return of the mammalians trailer, I feel like they would’ve all melted by now.

[@hesiod_delta9209]

Marina's spacetime distortion comment likely relates to a real theoretical concept: the alcubierre drive. Essentially, the front-mounted electromagnets produce a mass-energy density force, producing gravitation, which opposes an anti-gravitational force mounted on the back. I'll spare you the details of relativity and point you to some great presentations of the subject, the ScienceClic relativity playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raPamHygd7qMjMU

[@KristarkTravis11813]

Can you say a shorter version

[@quep1]

i guess not@@KristarkTravis11813

[@theplaguegamer6216]

My theory is that during Octo Expansion the facility is close to the earths core and the closer you get to the core more powerful magnetic fields become also, keep in mind the Earth's magnetic field about one one billionth the power of a fridge magnet the magnet on your fridge is stronger than the earth by a billion times the fact the inklings is by extension octolings can sense a field that small is amazing I believe that octarian technology although considerably advanced is nowhere near the level that we possessed and that whatever software she's using to scan it's far weaker than any conventional method we would have.

[@mozarteanchaos]

scientists seem to like making weird/funny acronyms, so the SQUID being named that might just be a little joke

[@rassicas]

im well aware of that. It's just a matter of "did splatoon devs incorporate this joke that some scientists made? Or is it just a funny coincidence I found"

[@mozarteanchaos]

@@rassicas ohh, gotcha

[@Kyzoren]

About not having Octarian lore, we actually do, or at least a significant morsel; One of the Sunken Scrolls depict DJ Octavio getting "essence" of some kind siphoned from him, and it becoming a Octarian... I believe this is what Marie (best waifu) meant when she says "I believe Octarians shouldn't have rights" in the story mode of S2 (I think it was 2), It wasn't racism, she says this because it's true; she knows they're clones/homunculus of Octavio... This also goes along with actual Squid/Octo biology, of their arms being able to act on their own when separated from the main body...

While the whole magnetic thing only has three appearances in the shape of bare text inGame, it does sound like something that could have been either really well foreshadowed by the Squid Lab... ...

Damn man, you might be just a kid but your theory are some next level that other theorist didn't able to think about it! That magnetic thingy is very complex yet interesting! Definitely looking forward for your Splatoon theory and i'm subscribing. And also yeah, step aside matpat. It's also interesting that maybe, the humans was killed WAY before the mass flood, because of the cosmic radiation caused during the Geomagnetic Reversal. And the flood is not as big as everyone though it.. (Also i've found that maybe Matpat didn't quite interested in splatoon lore, since there is only one splatoon video of his. For splatoon theory I prever Lockstin & Gnoggin)

[@rassicas]

LOL I'm almost 22 years old so I'm pretty sure I'm not a kid anymore, but thank you! And yes!!! Maybe that radiation helped kill off not only humans, but other mammals like dolphins and rats that one would expect to have survived the great flood? (I agree, lockstin & gnoggin make much better researched stuff for splatoon! fun fact, their splatoon 3 prediction video uses several of my old translations from the second artbook as well as my translation of a developer's interview... and I'm not credited for my work. I'm still a bit salty about it lol)

[@bengoodwin2141]

Geomagnetic reversals are usually not that big of a deal. They would throw off compasses and organisms with magnetoreception, but besides that they wouldn't do much on their own. However, some fictional technology specifically designed to use magnetic forces could be affected by it indirectly I suppose.

[@aiaikawa4012]

Three years later this is still unanswered but since they have teased about it again, I think it will eventually be addressed. Maybe we'll.... Have to wait for splatoon 4 though...........

Now they have! Suddenly Grizzco on official social media has mentioned some magnetic field still lingering after the end of the BIG Big Run, implying that a big run has something to do with strong magnetic fields.
