[@CaitlinKoi]

Thank you so much for reaching out to me on this! The video is AMAZING! 😍 Yes, all Splatoon lyrics are gibberish. I believe this was done for two reasons, one to make localization in different countries easier, and two the fact that Splatoon is a post-human Earth where languages of today probably would not still exist, especially with characters that evolved from cephalopods rather than primates. I would like to point out the katakana/hiragana difference of Pearl and Marina's lyrics can't be seen in the screencaps in the video since that's the romaji version, and like I said the phonemic inventories of both syllabaries are the same (they make the same sounds with different symbols) so the difference can't be seen in the romanization.

[@Sunflower41XD]

25:48 since this was also in splatoon 1, part of me thinks its less of an octo expansion thing and we're actually hearing the failing infrastructure and damage that's caused from the octarians loss of energy and since we're taking back the zapfish and fighting bosses, they're quickly losing more power

My theory on the tree in Spike's scheme is that it's not a tree, it's a mushroom cloud. The mushroom cloud is just a metaphor for making the prices of the sea-snails go sky-high. Then, he makes money off of using his monopoly on sea-snails to sell them to other urchins or just anyone who wants them. After that, he searches for new locations to run his scam when he eventually gets found out using his laptop. From there, he offers services in exchange for sea-snails, and the cycle continues.

No worries, I think I should be able to find it though

fun fact: there are 2 unused enemies named hammer guy and wrench guy there is no image of what it looks like but all we know its just a text in the files of the game

[@ThePotionMaster413]

My theory is that in Splatoon 1, the Octoling goggles did not have mind controlling capabilities; more likely, Octolings were simply oblivious to Inkling life, and only saw them as oppressors. If anything, I believe pure patriotism to the Octarian cause is what kept Octoling armies around. However, after the Calamari Inkantation first played and Octolings became dissatisfied with working under the Octarian regime, DJ Octavio most likely implemented the hypnoshades into the uniform of any remaining Octolings to keep them in control. As well, I believe any and all Octolings that didn’t make it to Inkopolis in time were hypnoshaded and sent back into the military, to be obedient to Octavio once again... This is just a theory though.

I have to say that another intrepretation for the post-boss screams exist is that it's the octarian cities starting to crush on the peoples without the energy left (the music on the radio that you heard most of the time is just here to cover these sounds) it was a famous theory in the splatoon 1 era en i think it's still work

I doubt all the test subjects were blended. I remember hearing that a lot of test subjects just dropped out and didn't complete it. I'm sure he still got tons of blended creatures but most definitely not all of them.

[@ad240p]

Yeah, considering Iso Padre was a test subject who failed

[@splatts7943]

It seems to be implied that only the test subjects who succeeded (supposedly gathered 4 thangs, considering the amount of blenders on NILS' cannon) were blended. ("Tartar: From the best and brightest test subjects, I created a sludge of Supreme DNA. A primordial ooze from which the ultimate lifeform will emerge.")

48:33 In the french version of the game, they are called "Tentacools" which is very similar to the word "tentacules" (tentacles).

[@jamalsiddiqi8632]

I don't think the character customization in octo expansion is anywhere, the whole character customization in octo expansion could just be agent 8 remembering what they look like because agent 8 did lose they're memories

[@lunatpr5594]

I honestly kinda prefer the octoling Pearl to the final version we got. I think her design looks a lot cuter that way. Edit: I can't believe we in the West missed out on the contest winner at 22:35. It looks so sick. I hope something like it is in Splatoon 3.

I have a theory a bit like the the mind control glasses. Remember the item you could get for free from marina by downloading an item pack themed around the last splatefest? it looked like a helmet except it had a glowing screen on the front. I think that if marina won, she could've mind controlled everyone.

[@aurk9956]

[@meggy1162]

I know this was from a year ago but I wanted to share since this is very exciting for me, splatoon text actually is decipherable! Rassicas and several others have been hard at work deciphering the different splatoon scripts (they even have names for each script) and a lot of them have been cracked. We've been able to translate some things because of it, including the creation process of the great octoweapons!

[@Sunflower41XD]

Woah! that's pretty cool

[@DJParticle]

Splatfests were scored differently in Splatoon 1, since there were only 2 categories: popularity and battle tally (there was no separate tally for team play) The formula was the pop percentage + 6 x the win percentage, for a total of 700 distributed points between the teams. Marie won 360-340

[@Sunflower41XD]

Weird, I wonder why it's noted as 3 to 0 then if there were 2 categories?

[@TotherKoala]

Octoling goggles are NOT mind-control systems. In the credits, one of the pictures depict Agent 3 wearing the goggles and messing around, completely of their own free will, while an octoling asks for them back in an irritated manner. Then again, with Octavio defeated, the mind-control may have stopped working. WHO KNOWS

[@Sporkmo]

Just revisiting this before watching part 2, and I've gotta say the animations in this are immaculate. Every one is on point and so well done

[@ayzolt404]

I always thought that the OE customization screen was when your Octoling was born, since it kinda looks like the giant testing tubes you see in movies (while typing this out I realize how crazy this sounds but idk)

[@SpicyInk]

24:40 I was earing this in a dark room and I was going like: oh hello Mr demon!

[@ClearCubess]

The way "katakana" was pronounced KILLED me lmao. As for Marina's dialogue being written in katakana it's likely to imply Marina is a "foreigner" in Inkopolis. Makes sense as she's an Octoling. In Japanese they will transcribe text or dialogue completely in Katakana over Hiragana to imply it's their second language. Yes, Katakana is primarily used for loanwords but in media it can be used to imply they aren't as familiar with the language.

[@Sunflower41XD]

Hell yeah you're right on the money with what you said. Also I just pronounced the word like Google translate said to do 😭
