Every Onward! Leitmotif in the Splatoon 3: SideOrder OST 

If you listen to the demo version of Ebb & Flow, Marina ends it with the Onward motif. My theory is, raised as an Octarian soldier, without thinking she included it; "that's just what music is like." In turn, Order had the same subconscious urge as their creator.

The onward motif is jus so iconic I wouldn’t be surprised if other game osts references it

I really like how most of these instances are a lot less "in your face" than usual. The motif is usually emphasized whenever it occurs, but here it's just a part of the melody.

Was wondering where the onwards lightmotif showed up in side order, thanks!

i think there is one in 2ouvenir too!

Heheh, thanks for this. Neat thing seeing that when an octoling composes music alone it is very likely to include the octarian leitmotif. Good thing seeing it more it 3, as I think the only time that there was in 3 was in music of the crater.

THANK YOU finally someone notices the first one in c0ld st0rage

ONWARD MY BELOVED

0:57 I thought it was about to play Toreador March 😭

the onward leitmotif is also heard in “2ouvenir” (very briefly but just listen for the “1-2 1-2-3”)

the elevator music is a slow rendition of the onward motif

How and where did you get second phase of c0ld st0rage???

I wouldn't really count C0ld St0rage as since it a few notes off from the full Onward! leitmotif Edit: Nevermind, the Onward leitmotif shows up later in the song
