The whole thing is that they cannot swim and if they are in a body of water with more water than themselves, they are fine touching it, just no pools 😅
Do they actually in universe dissolve or just drown? I feel like it's said they can't swim, but that info would be irrelevant if just being in water literally melted them alive, right? Aren't there swimming pools and showers and whatnot in this world?
Maybe inklings and octolings are capable of rescaling their height, because they're mostly ink Squid size would be consistent with reality and the human skeleton and Judd support this
Well Nintendo probably didn't think anyone would go out of bonus and just picked the sizes randomly plus the buildings could have been here since the humans so I'd probably guess is the average height of a 14 year old human
I think if a inkling or octoling would choose a colour they'd be immune to ink of that colour but any different colours will damage the skin and burst the sad guy
I have a small theory(i might be wrong but still): what if the inklings and octolings can't touch salt water. Like we can see they still drink juice soda and stuff,1 time Marien said she want to take a cold shower,and in splatoon 2 when we defeted agent 3 she/he didn't splat but got knock out
I know that we don't see eights face, but... we do see her arms and neck, so we do know that lore accurate eight is white. I just thought I'd point that out. Edit: also, In my opinion, I think eight is a female, as in every splatoon game trailer, the main character is always shown of as a female, and the same goes for octo expansion, and side order.
If they get in a big body of water, it will be more than the ink they have in themselves so that’s why they can drink stuff from Shawn and marigold and then get the effects for the battle
Inklings are a perfekt Civilization they dont need "laws" they Just try to have fun and make everyone Happy they dont have Police because noone does Bad things
Well they seem like devil fruit user in one piece I mean they can handle rain a shower and even the bath but if you take them to a pool they will only walk on the pool floor What I'm trying to say is that both can't swim but don't die when touching water
