The Captain was the original Agent 3 actually. They were the playable character in Splatoon 1’s Single player and appeared in Splatoon 2’s DLC campaign, Octo Expansion

[@Xman_0613]

Speaking of Octo expansion, the levels in story mode are molded after what the Octo expansion levels were which was tests that sometimes have instant fail conditions.

[@hansleano6629]

@@ultragamer8816 there's still a diffrence when your flicking. Flicking is better when in enemy territory because paints further away from you so you can quickly form a trail to swim in (safer than rolling). Rolling is very situational only done after missing the target with a flick at close range. Flick and immediatley start rolling cuz doing another flick might give opponent time to react cuz of wind up.

[@prof.laytonfan764]

@@gameb9oy The inklings and octarians got along pretty well back then. They only fought because there wasn’t much land left after the flood. But yeah the war led to Cuttlefish being a bit racist towards octarians.

[@swagblu4727]

idk about this game but back in splatoon 2 the chat logs between pearl, Marina, and cuddlefish in octo expansion were actually changed in English to have cuddlefish say like racist things to octarians. The same can be said for Marie in splatoon 2's story mode she has a lot of mean and harsh remarks towards octarians that aren't present in the JPN version. I think this game's translations are accurate, but needless to say the english translations aren't always accurate to the source material and a lot of characters differ from their JPN versions quite a bit.

[@gameb9oy]

@@swagblu4727 while I don’t doubt that is true, I’ve also heard that a lot of times translators will change some lines to get across the impact a line is supposed to have, like certain insults in Japanese might seem like nothing in English.

[@Typi]

4:06 That's... actually right. Octarians can reproduce via severing their own tentacles. Octolings are the most advanced, which each less Tentacle, intelligence decreases. The basic Grunt Octarians and Octoballs are the among the lowest tier intelect wise, but are still sentient. Their faces are formed from the suckers on the tentacle.

[@shadow-faye]

Octolings arent made by cutting off tentacles but the other octarians are

[@Typi]

@@shadow-faye I am aware, I was just saying they were the most advanced in terms of Intelect

[@joshualeespiny7172]

4:05 the Octarians are a race of octopus that include the Octarian soldiers and both playable and non-playable Octolings. The Octolings are their original form, and are much like Inklings anatomy-wise, while the octotroopers and the other non-humanoid enemies in story mode are severed Octoling arms that were given sentience (don't ask me how)

[@tackey8632]

It’s implied that the tentacles are autonomous because they’re octopi. Octopi have large amounts of neurons in their tentacles, effectively giving them minds of their own, even when severed. However, they’re not using the full brainpower of the whole being, meaning rank and file Octarians are pretty dim bulbs.

Fun Fact: In the first Splatoon, there was a SpongeBob vs Patrick Splatfest. And then there was a Pokémon Red vs Blue Splatfest. And then in Splatoon 2, there was a Ninja Turtles Splatfest. You missed out a lot, Choc.

[@gameb9oy]

Also, the games even mildly give lore as to why in universe the inklings and octolings know about that stuff. They have mild idolization of what is still known about humanity and are super into their own pop culture, so it makes sense they’d be interested in the pop culture of humanity

[@Bilore46]

Love you vids and super stoked your continuing with Splatoon! I can not wait until you get to the 6th world, I literally had a stroke when I got to there. Tip from someone who has finished it, you can 100% each hub area without beating the story, you just have to use Howard(good name) as your bloodhound to sniff up the treasure anchors(those metal fan things with the red lights on them). On your map it will have some parts highlighted green and that will give you the general location of what you need to find. Last thing, make sure you take a look at all of the lore you get, especially the logs, they are pretty interesting.

[@aedaniammx7559]

You may or may not have been able to figure this out, but DJ Octavio was the final boss/main antagonist of the first two games’ Hero Modes, so seeing him as the first boss and immediately out of the running for main antagonist was pretty big for veterans. Think the intro to Super Mario RPG

Choc, the reason you don’t shoot at the ground to cover turf is because your horizontal shots drip ink as they travel, so you cover a wider are by looking forward and not down. Plus, you don’t have to look all the way back up to hit enemies; you’re already looking at them.

Know I’m late but painting is a main focus, but you generally paint better if you aim straight instead of at the ground, because you paint further, covering more ground. And your prepared for a fight as you are able to see around you better.

In case you're wondering about the Octarians, their lore is that they reproduce by being the tentacles cut off of other Octarians. Sometimes they end up being capable of growing more or becoming an Octoling. The more tentacles, the smarter. It's like if you cut off an arm and it grew a face

4:00 Real life octopodes technically have 9 brains, as their tentacles not only contain heir own sets of neurons, but can act independently of one another. If a tentacle is removed, prior to death, it will continue to search for food and try to return it to a non-existent beak. This phenomenon was the basis behind most Octarians, including the tentacles found operating the various Octarian war machnies.

[@ultragamer8816]

Fun fact: a bear without teeth is a gummy bear

[@SnakeEyesOfficial42]

Ok. Lore dump. The octarians are severed tentacles from octolings that gain sentience, similar to how starfish regenerate. Capp’n and DJ Octavio are veterans of The Great Turf War, a war between inklings and the octarians over dwindling land. Capp’n is also Callie and Marie’s grandfather. Also having a lot of your color is definitely not a bad thing. It offers mobility, as you are much faster in squid form than humanoid.
