So I read some of the Splatoon manga... 

Duh! You need the ability buffs!

You're telling me pickled plums survived mass extinction

​​​@@LongDeadArtistNature pick(l)ed only the best food for the Inkling world!

​@@LongDeadArtistYeah. After all, the lore said that all MAMMALS went extinct, it didn't say anything about plants or other fauna.

@@averagetemp3014 I mean, it flooded so I assumed so

it definitely has a story!

its so!! i also love how its REALLY. i love the manga of all time.

I love the parts of it that happen. Truly a manga that i have read

Also I’m pretty sure that it’s for kids of all genders also the amount of nude/bottomless inklings may make you think otherwise. Also I’m 99% certain that Sankichi has a VERY specific kink I’m not gonna make assumptions just hunches.

@@zachattack1279 corocoro has a specific target audience, sorry. it has since.... Forever. regardless of who is actually reading it, its aimed at boys so throughout all of corocoro theres a lot of that kind of humor. fart jokes piss jokes nude jokes etc, even the pokemon manga has a few because it also comes from it thats just how it is

@@poisonandsteel1719 anyone can laugh at fart and piss jokes and what I was referring to about the nudity was that you might think it’s was made for adults with a humiliation kink and not kids. I was referring to the age of the audience not the gender of the audience. Also totally spies smashes this manga in terms of being kids media with a concerning amount of fetish material.

@@zachattack1279 accusing hinodeya of putting fetish content in a kid's manga over what is normal humor for corocoro, the kind of things mangakas are TOLD to put in by corocoro, is actually gross and i hope you do something better with your life instead of accusing someone of that with no bases

@@poisonandsteel1719 I wasn’t being serious you just seem to have no sense of humour. Although there is still that possibility that someone higher up at corocoro has these kinks. Also the amount of nude/bottomless cephalopods in the manga just reminds me of the amount of foot stuff in Dan shnider shows and he turned out to be a pedophile with a foot fetish.

I mean it'll be sure to distract them

I just bought two of the shirts. Great quality! Although everybody asks me what the Zinc shirt says...

i only have a marie plush on my windowsill that I picked up at Barnes and Noble for sploon merch. the plushies are silly but i don't care because marie's my favorite character

I would so love to work on a project like that if we could find artists for it.

aww, i could totally see there being a scene where specs is taking notes. curious, the rest of blue team checks his phone/laptop to see who he's taking notes from, and it's just multiple videos from gem, chara, dude, etc haha granted, hinodeya's jpn, so chances are that it's going to be references to notable jpn splatubers, not westerners :')

You're looking for the fanfic scene. There's some really good stuff over there. And also some tire fires written by literal middle schoolers but hey, writing garbage is an important step to writing non-garbage, and they seem to be having fun.

I actually dress up as some of the characters and like to build the gear for the weapon they use!

I mean, some mistakes here- this was already into the Splatoon 2 tournament, skull is a dude, and he’s certainly not teamed with rider, but I agree, that is one of my fav scenes, both for character and for actual talk of the game strats

that would be soo cool! reading the whole progression of the story modes would be awesome and they could even put marina in the splatoon 1 story since she was there. missed opportunities...

I mean. It'd be basically the same, assuming it was still running in Corocoro. They have a pretty narrow target demographic, and sadly it shows.

Plus, the new characters they do introduce are fun! Even Tri-Sunglasses, a completely original character, is just a guy who finds it fun to see other teams thrive, and didn't want to miss out on battling the best 8 of Splatsville. The manga may suck, but at least it has it's good parts and slightly in-depth characters. A true guilty pleasure of mine ngl.

i mean a decent amount of the characters, especcially in 2's "adaptation", are actually just the promo characters, the entirety of team gloves are the original promo characters for 2

I don't think gear abilities were established in the manga.

@@fuhkishoga5130 Gear abilities in particular weren't, but we do learn that Gear can "wear out" which is interesting.

I will say my kids gameplay had dropped massively when he got into them because it was all about copying the manga and trying the tactics in there and only wearing character outfits.

I've always wanted a splatoon anime, but after seeing the manga and how "poorly written" it is from a character standpoint (I've seen singular panel meme comics with more characterization and potent character arcs than the entirety of what I've read of the manga) I'd prefer if we just got a splatoon movie instead. Both would preferrably be in the classic splatoon 2D style, obviously stylized a bit less for easier animation, but I know for a fact it'd be weird "high definition" 3D models instead of normal inkling models. Maybe one day we'll get a serious spinoff or short series like we got for Legends Arceus about the three hero modes... A guy can dream eh?

@@1lillbluepikmin I think the main character living a sort of double life like normal agent 3 does would be cool, with the other members of the team eventually becoming agents 4 and neo 3, with an octoling representing (and possibly being) agent 8. If it was set solely in S3, then yeah I could see that working, but if it's meant to follow the manga and take place all through the series then It would be cool to have every major player character represented AND to see them experience the story modes in real time (albeit tweaked to fit an anime setting, so shorter side-stories rather than full season-long campaigns)

Yea her name is Braid not Headphones as he refers her as. She’s one of my favorites ^-^

Haven't read the Splatsville ones yet, but I can confirm they lose in volume 2 and a couple times in volume 16 (though most of those are offscreen, just stating they lost)

Thank you for sharing that, I also take the game more seriously (tho there’s no comp scene in my region, sadge) and it’s good to hear I’m not the only one to like it for just being fun despite that. Thanks for pointing those things about later parts out. And yah, it’s honestly impressive for something made by 1 person.

In the Ranked arc I remember Red Sole jumping off the stage with the Rainmaker to reset it

@@agentblackbird9435 yeah!! That was a really cool thing for them to add in. Honestly everything they did to show strategies in the ranked arc was really cool.

lowkey ranked arc sometimes pisses me off, like.... vintage ABSOLUTELY could've survived goggles' final splashdown by just hiding behind the tower pillar

I have multiple corrections onscreen addressing this

@@SquidSchool Whoops did not see that. Just a listening viewer here

What RU-vid analysis or article did you take that opinion from

@@plompedu I can’t tell if you are joking or seriously believe anyone besides me would be insane enough to compare the win loss ratio of two characters from different card game animes during a discussion about splatoon.

@@HazzyBoe Half joking, didn't even realize that only a minority cares for more than one TCG, I feel stupid now

@@plompedu I am sure there are plenty of people who care, but I doubt they would be looking at win percentages to make a comparison as I did.

Reminds me of Pokemon too

There are official English translations for the 16 volumes that encompass Splatoon 1 and Splatoon 2, so currently fan-translations are in progress for the mangas encompassing Splatoon 3.

As a fellow aspiring writer I 100% agree

literally splatoon vocaloids omg

As a fanfic writer of these characters myself, I 100% agree. I personally love coming up with headcannons like how their childhood was like! To let myself ramble, I personally like to headcannon Army as an Octoling who started off undercover. Which explains why he's military based (especially as a drill sergeant). We never see him without his beret, which means we never see his "hair." I'm not sure where, but I remember reading somewhere that Inklings can only tell the difference from Octolings by thier tentacles and eyes (might've been in the Octo Expansion by Captain Cuttlefish). Army also knows how makeup works, it's stated in the manga that he applies his own face paint. All he would have to do is draw a face mask on and he'd look like an Inkling! Then there's the the clothes he wears. The parka has a purple octoling on it, in the same shape as Justice (Vol.13), who *is* an Octoling. And In the Chaos V. Order splatfest, Army chooses Order and tells Hivemind that he, "Can not accept a world without free will." And wouldn't you know it, that sounds like somthing Octoling underground would have experienced with Tartar down there and sanitizing Octolings. Onto Army's parents, it's stated from the manga that he comes from rich parents. We're never told where that wealth came from, but I imagine his parents must've been important Octoling generals who get paid greatly for thier service. So my idea is: His parents left the underground with him when he was young. With the money they earned from thier service, Army was able to live an upper class lifestyle, but still held onto admiration of the military (either by the propaganda spread there, or from his parents being generals). His parents wanted him to experience a life they couldn't have, and started disguising him as an Inkling, saying that he should NEVER reveal he's an Octoling to others, knowing Octolings are discriminated against (taking place during Splatoon 1 where Octolings weren't playable). Army grows up and finally realizes how awful the underground really was. He also grows up with the fear of being discovered as an Octoling. If he ever where to be discovered, it would be around the start of Vol.3, where they all head to Inkopolis Square and Army sees Marina, an Octoling who's freely walking around and no one really cares. His beret would fall off during the S4's battle with Emperor, and he'd run off in a panic thinking the rest of the S4 members will hate him. They find him and tell him it's alright, that he is still Army, the same strategist, the same person who keeps them in working order, and the only one who really knows how to cook, and that him being an Octoling means nothing. I just love all these characters so much! They have so much potential for readers and writers to imagine them differently. And thanks for reading all of this if you did ❤ (P.s. Yes, almost every character has an in depth look into thier past. Just ask me about Emperor, I dare you)

@@LordyWordy Wow, this is... amazing. I personally don't have too many headcannons about them, but I did make a mafia AU about the characters from the Splatoon Manga. It was really fun trying to use these characters in a grittier and bloodier (inkier?) environment, and it was really fun to pull off. Having the S4 was also perfect, since they were really easy to make into assassins. If you want to read it, I can link it here, though I don't know how well links work on RU-vid comments.

@@teaganpatel3790 I might've already read your work! By chance, is it called "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"?

I make fan comics sometimes and tbh I want to make a fan comic with team school girl cardigan in it with someone calling them girls in an encouraging way despite knowing about what happened in the battle with rider? Maybe Jessika from the band yoko and the gold bazookas... I'll have to wait until I'm faster about making these comics to commit to something like that. lol

There are some lore based comics and other stuff like the squidsister stories/art books that are sorta outside the games. With how seamless cross media is nowadays I get if you don’t consider them separate.

@@samuelturner6076 and I get that but even so outside of the squidsister stories pretty much none of them actually are able to feature any narrative material, just lore by the devs, and with manga being a storytelling medium I do wish it maybe could have gotten treatment similar to the pokemon manga for example but cannon, or at least mostly lore accurate

@@certifiedtrash3152 100% fair. If we do get a Splatoon anime I’d like it if it was a lore accurate, story based affair.

i’m honestly kind of tired of the whole “lore” thing splatoon has been doing especially with 3 pretty much making no sense and having literal magic in it and not explaining anything (per usual) the splatoon manga is meant to appeal to little kids and focuses more on the slice of life aspect rather than the “serious” stuff. it’s a standalone thing that also rarely connects with the main series so who cares lmao

@@yggdrasilsaltar have you bothered to read the pokemon manga, which was my primary example. I don't want it to just be lore lore lore like fnaf or something, but just to be a fun serialised manga that can tell its own story and do its own thing while either adding to or adapting aspects of the story modes every now and again depending on if you want to go the cannon or non cannon route, as even ignoring the lore splatoon has such an interesting world and we don't see almost any of it besides maps and whatever slice each games' lobby shows

tbh s4's team (especially in sp1at era)'s pretty decent, and x-blood's comp would be better if it weren't for bloblobber

Yea, I remember there was a scene that they lost to skull and then asked for a rematch

Small correction the tristringer is not headphones

I meeeeaaaan, while there’s a little leap in logic: why would any of the s+’ers be just playin turf if they’re rank players? Makes it seem like ranks just work differently in this universe… Whilst that’s all a thing… this still makes the most sense to me: rider notes right to goggles that he believes goggles “might actually be stronger than an S4”, and blue’s results would suggest, even against emperor, their skills are actually above the rest. people might not like it, but it’s clearly so, due to them practising so hard together before chapter one, and all their experience built up from the first few battles. In fact, eight/hachi asks how they can be bad ranked when their so strong, and the response is they’re ridiculous, which would explain it if they were playing solo, again reinforcing your point. TLDR your theory simply works from every angle. Probably coulda just said that, but I love team blue so I just wanted to do it.

also the art in that one is way uglier /hj

Glad to see even people who don’t like it overall still agree who the best character is.

I agree with the last paragraph, I kinda just stopped being intrigued bc rider isn’t there tbh

I mean, they could do that in the games, just when we don't know

Clearly you’ve forgotten what happened with Frye

Young problematic Pearl: Hold my diss track

@@lucomc32607 what za f*ck?

Pearl canonically swears, because of course she does

I say animate your own stories, but in the manga style?

(Dang, longer than I expected 😶…)

No but legit, the could make a Splatoon anime so easily and I’d eat it up in a heartbeat. Heck the Splatoon 2 Ver 3.0 trailer is literally an anime OP.

personally, i find it helpful to use other weapons a bit just to get a feel for how they work. its really useful to have first hand experience in their weaknesses and strengths. you'll learn how to fight a specific weapon through the ppl that splat you, noting their approaches and applying it to your own strategy. you'll also see what benefit the weapon, so you know which situations to prevent / avoid etc. i guess this can also be achieved by playing against the weapon a lot, paying attention to how you get splatted / how you splat them, tho i dont think that works well without a partner.
