The Lore of the Splatoon Bands (Part 4/4)

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Dawg C-Side is FERAL, those drunk Squeets must have been high-profile drama for months

[@RapidProbably]

Laughing at the word squeet. It’s such a silly word!

[@breachboii]

LMAO do you think in-universe they’re considered a “problematic” band??

[@mccalliesterrrr]

@@breachboii in-universe, it's probably controversial to admit you listen to them to the point as soon as you say you like a song from them, the room goes silent and everybody just looks at you weird. It doesn't even matter if you pirate their music, you're getting judged. 😭

[@luc1d_ismyname]

I would like to see Beika play the ukulele.......

[@xraenon1664]

The funny thing is can definitely see them in current day Twitter. God knows I’ve definitely seen just as unhinged post from some pseudo-celebrities on the past

[@Typi]

Chirpy Chips is probably the most disfunctional band at face value, but somehow is the only band between all three games that have consistantly been popular and not broken up or changed members. Just a buncha friends vibing and making stuff when they feel like it.

[@shannotic]

that’s why they’re so good lol !!

[@keynanmartinez]

No kidding

[@ezekieldawson1265]

To the point,I like it.

[@Wallis_2001]

The fact that Beika got ratio’d on socials is so funny because you know someone at Nintendo HQ sat down and deliberately chose those numbers. It’s a small detail that works so well to show how controversial C-Side is in-universe. I love this so much.

[@springfaux6991]

Hypothetically baker could've gotten the entirety of c-side cancelled because of how hammered they were and had balls bigger than their brain

[@MikeyInsanity]

Pearl spending 200 million to make clothes out of a space suit is "Yep, that sounds like the kind of thing she'd do."

[@Limomon]

That transition from the Game Theory bit into Ink Theory was absolutely genius

[@1unar_eclipse]

Why can't we have those kinds of outfits in-game >:(

[@OriginalGameteer]

Jessika quickly became one of my favorite characters the instant I saw her

[@sapphiresupernova]

Ngl I thought it was Callie at first

[@lrgogo1517]

I was gonna say the woomified "QRTs" meme was funny, because it implies that the weird mascot character who may or may not be related to the amusement park is derived from some cartoon series, and that they starred in some sort of Squid _Kingdom Hearts._ But then I checked Inkipedia to figure out whether it has a name, and it turns out (1) his name is 'Fresh Fish' (2) he _is_ in fact the mascot of Wahoo World (3) he's been in multiple (presumably animated) films (4) he plays a supporting role in a modern video game with a main theme composed by a popular band (Off The Hook). *Good cod, there already **_is_** a Squid Kingdom Hearts.*

[@blackberrynina999]

[@Cypherlord]

Hey you can pass it off as marine biology if you can make a good enough argument

[@SmileOmega1]

15:46 something about there being a mistranslation underneath the phrase "Polish isn't everything" is so funny to me.

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

Pearl being like "nah were going to the moon" and then getting an authentic astronaut jacket made is the most Pearl thing Ive ever heard 😂 I love hearing the story of all the band members!!! Look forward to learning whatever we can about the new bands coming in future updates as well!

[@riji_monogatari]

It's worth mentioning as well that the Happy Little Workers motif is also in the five "rocket" OSTs that play as you are ascending the rocket. On the Splatune 3 official CD it's called "Thrilling Corporate News". The tune plays with rocket sounds and humans in the background as if it's a recording. I think this and the title further imply the motif was definitely involved with the humans in alterna in some capacity (which is pretty chilling lol).

[@RyleyPetell]

Oh boy, I can’t wait to learn more about my favorite band, Hightide Era, surely something new happened over the past 2 years!

[@ameliawillars]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@SapphireRose0205]

I always guessed that they're called Damp Socks feat. Off The Hook because it relates to Wet Floor. You got wet floors, you get damp socks. Could also be something about their "busy vacation", walking around the world means your feet sweat a lot, right? or maybe these new members are 'dipping their toes' into professional music performance

[@SasukaRH]

i just realised orion's shirt is pink floyd lmao. I guess pink floyd'd music outlasted humanity

[@MicrowavedGoods]

I can't wait for part 5! One little detail i've already noticed: you mention how it seems like Kiki left C-Side at one point and then rejoined. Well in the album art for the new band, Riot Act, there's Kiki, standing alongside the other members of the band. It's so cool the amount of detail they put into these fictional squid bands.

[@Octoptic0n]

It's mentioned as well that Kiki started Riot Act as a side project

[@ghd2966]

10:50 I The way this line was delivered, it felt like you could hear Rassicas clenching their fist whilst trying to play it off as if its okay.

I initially thought Tao Blu was possibly fried, which is probably not the case, but I like the Irony of a practice done on food being preformed on one of the most deadly animals out there.

[@tikitak7672]

You know what I want? Another splatoon concert, except it’s not just preformed by the idols. You know when the other game’s songs are played between idol songs they play gameplay songs? I wanna see band members preform that. Like 3D models and mocap, the whole shebang. Yeah it’ll be expensive because they’d have to make whole new assets for one instance only which is why they won’t do that. But still it’s such a cool thing to think about.

[@sophont_sea_anemone]

OH MY COD I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOREVERRRR I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO SEE C-SIDE OR THE CHIRPY CHIPS ACTUALLY PREFORM LIVE😭😭

I really hope we get to see more band characters in person in the future. It didn't take long after splatoon 3 coming out for harmony to become my favorite character, plus we get to see deadfish in side order, i think its really cool.

[@Kevinblue035]

a while back i made a splatoon OC who's lore was that he moved to the splatlands and styled himself as a nasty punk rocker because he became obsessed with c-side, and even gave himself a spikey beard because he thought walter looked so cool finding out they're really Like That in canon just makes it fit so much more lmao

[@Calo-Mari]

Sad about the lack of information on the human bands in Alterna, I have been trying to crack the code on the meanings of their names for a bit now so I was hopeful that you would have had more luck. Anyways, great video as always!

[@beth5627]

I love how diverse the Splatoon devs went with the species of these bandmates, they are really creative and shows that there are way more species in the Splatoon universe than we see, it fills the world so to say

[@faroshscale]

absolutely obsessed with Aquasonic. one of the best songs in the series easily

[@spooner8168]

In regards to Tao Blu's hair, I remember seeing that a new trend in splatoon 3 was inklings/octolings deep frying their hair to give it that crustiness. Im assuming tao blu decided to hop on the trend.

[@marcosp.3496]

This is why I love Splatoon, they could have just played generic background music, but here I am watching a half hour video about its characters Pd: Excellent video, and thanks for the Spanish subtitles

23:10 mimicry could also potentially be one person mimicking other people since all the band mates look to have the same basic outline. Or maybe it’s just a pair of quintuplets who knows.

[@Synthbug]

LOVED THIS VIDEO !! Lots of fun info in ur vids every time and i love all the explanation behind the etymology of their names !! And that info about H2Whoa being made possible by the script decipherers like you is so fitting!! ALSO YIPPIE NEW SPLATBAND DROPPED SO SOON AFTER THIS VIDEO CAME OUT!!! Thats more content for whenever u feel like doing part 5 :D excited to get to know more about O.C.K./riot act as time goes on‼️

[@sethfeldpausch4337]

I swear, of ALL video game worlds, Splatoon has the most cohesive and well realized one! The fact that every item has a brand and every song has a band, and all these things have lore tied to them is insane! What's crazier is that the average player misses most of this very realistic sounding lore! The fact that Nintendo recreated the confrontational vibe of Twitter, within the Splatoon world just to display how fictional bands have beef with each other, is absolutely NUTS and it adds so much character!

[@tacosunbirth]

11:37 There's the fan translated names, then the Japanese names translated to English, but unless I am mistaken, you didn't show the official localized names of Omega-3, which I was expecting to see how similar they were to the fan-translated names. Other than that nitpick of mine (that could just be me misunderstanding the part of the video about my beloved Salmonid lore), Great stuff as always Rassicas, glad to see a new vid from ya :)

[@rassicas]

you are mistaken, those are the official localized names shown below the fan translated names ! you can check splatoon base to see for yourself.

[@BlobRoss_splat]

Ok theory time! Could Deadfish have came up with their name because of Harmony’s fish that is dying, if you look at it it could be represented by the circle with 3 dots and the drips could be like sad tears or something. Like Deadfish was into ChirpyChirps and used an iconic part of their image as the inspiration for their name. So it’s not a brand yet but like a possible branding for DF.

[@Isnortlexapro]
