@@lordlawrence9781 watch as they combine the TV show lore, except that a year in the Mushroom Kingdom is a few years in the real world, so when Mario and Luigi decide to finally revisit their original home, they walk right smack into World War III.
You skipped over the fact that the Splatfests are selected by an old fax machine printing stuff. This is of course thought by the squids to be messages from god
And they're actually messages from human arguments reflected back in space. Which means that the Splatoon game series is canon in the Splatooniverse. (But then again, the Sunken Scroll of a human fossil with the janky-ass player 2 couch co-op setup from Splatoon 1 basically confirmed it.)
DJ Octavio doesn't actually brainwash his troops. Judging from the DJ Octavio stickers on Marina's laptop, she still holds him in high regards. The Calamari Incantation more so opens the mind, causing octolings to reconsider fighting the inklings.
yeah, this for the most part is a good video that I think could really help some people get into the series, but there are some very obvious inaccuracies in here. It seems to me that they made a bunch of assumptions regarding the lore and just decided to present them as fact. Like the octarians being the ones to put up the sky-projecting screens around their domes (more likely the humans, but I suppose we don't technically know for sure) or Cuttlefish ordering Agent 3 to attack Agent 8 (iirc it's not even stated if he was present during 3 and 8's initial fight)
@@arktya considering Cuttlefish says "this fight isn't over" when Agent 8 wakes up, and how Inner Agent 3 is 8 doing mental exercise on how to beat them, I think those two did fought. 3 didn't go all out though, because 8 was humming that heavenly melody. I could be wrong, been awhile since I watched the Octo Expansion Cutscenes so I could be wrong.
Yeah, Octavio just uses a bunch of propoganda to make all of his troops militaristically obedient. Same thing with the "hypno shades" put on Callie, they made her obedient, not hypnotized, an issue on the translation department's part.
PLEASE NOTE: The part about the Octoling's being hypnotised is actuly completly false, there goggles/shades are actully only optic inhancemints such as thermal vision and targeting (Well... exsept for Callie, that part is partly true, she was talked into putting on the shades after hanging out with octavio for an exstended period of time) ALSO: Tartar never built NILS, he just repurpesd it for his own gouls.
To any non Splatoon fans wondering if he was making a joke about lil Judd wanting to kill and take the place of normal Judd, he wasn't kidding. That shit is CANNON!!!
Not necessarily murder, the squid research lab just said Lil Judd is waiting like a bloodthirsty tiger for his moment to replace Judd. It may include murder, but his main goal is to get Judd’s job, because he knows he is just a clone and believes he’s inferior.
@@anaoamal8792 Judd is apparently immortal because of a immortality drug injected before he was frozen. He may still die from other things but dosent seem like he can die from age
The phone using eco-friendly solar panels actually makes a lot of sense considering that it's original purpose was to make the world a better place for other organisms, that's the entire reason it built NILS in the first place!
@@kaiburtenshaw2837 Tartar isnt necessarily trying to destroy them, he is making them perfect, or at least his twisted perception of perfection. Basically everyone was gonna get sanitized. Sanitization restricts the subjects freedom heavily so they cant make any mistakes, so theoretically it makes them perfect. They dont think or have their own opinions is just a hivemind.
Apparently, as inklings grow old, they go through a process called sun-drying, where they loose their ink to live longer, and I think Octavio got permanently stuck in his octo form
A part of me likes to think Octavio pumped himself full of ink to prevent himself from getting shriveled up, only to get stuck in octo form because he's too inked up to turn human. Either that or it's the wasabi.
fun fact: octavio is in his octopus form all the time so that he lives older. same thing with cuttlefish. he stays in that humanoid form to make sure he doesn't get too old too quick another fun fact: the inklings actually do think that octolings are inklings with weird hairstyles. in the news, the first time you see on the news pearl says something about marina looking strange and just supposed that marina was an inkling that had a strange hairstyle
One tiny objection to the lore: the only actual shades that have been comfirmed to be brainwashing was Callie's hypnoshades. There is actually no evidence for all the rest of the shades to actually be hypnoshades. Also, you don't exactly need hypnoshades to hypnotise people when you got propaganda! All we do know about all the other cool sunglasses is that they have some kind of interface that might help in battle
I can't believe I see people on twitter saying the Octolings were mind controlled, because with just a little sense, you'd realize that they have lived underground for... a long ass time?? They know nothing of the Inklings or anything, WHY would they need to be mind controlled?? it's literally their home. And then they distinct the difference between 'Octarians' and 'Octolings' as if Octarians [in this context, they mean the non-humanoids] are the bad ones and Octolings are the ones that were mindcontrolled the whole time like... the ENG translations for this game makes me feel crazy cuz it causes misinterpretations like this.
At this point it seems that Splatoon 3 is not post apocalyptical (unless your talking about the original human apocalypse). Rather, the world was *always* like this and we're just finally seeing more of it. I suspect if Order had won we'd be back in some high-class city like Inkopolis rather then the seemingly low-class Splatsville.
I get why that's never going to be the case but I wish that we could get two Splatoon 3 games (so, basically using the Pokémon game formula) with them being called "Splatoon 3: Chaos" and Splatoon 3: Order" (with the "Chaos"-version being about atleast 5% more developed as that would be the "main version" for obvious reasons).
@@NZsaltz Because that seems like what a game company would do (atleast it seems like that to me but yeah, doing that'd be a bit dumb when I think about it for a second but it's not like Nintendo hasn't ripped others off and while it wasn't in terms of video-gaming stuff they actually made a rip-off of physical plastic Lego once Lego's patent on that had run out for the first time and while that wasn't a rip-off according to the law during the period of time between Lego's patent running out and them renewing it because of how that specific stuff works that didn't make it any less of a Lego rip-off once the patent was renewed) and it seems like they'd do so to me to "encourage" people to buy the "canonical" version of the game as the "Chaos"-version would technically be the "canonical" version of the story while what happens in the "Order"-version would be like some kind of alternate universe and it's not necessarily like an alternate universe version of something is as developed as or more developed than whatever it's an alternate universe version of. I do realize that that would be a bad excuse (as Nintendo themselves could take the "It's not necessarily like an alternate universe version of something is as developed as or more developed than whatever it's an alternate universe version of." bit and use that as an excuse as to why the "Order"-version of Splatoon 3 is subjectively worse than the "Chaos"-version) but hey, it is what it is.
There’s actually one major event in the splatoon timeline which you forgot to include in this video: The Callie vs. Marie splatfest. This was the final splatfest hosted in the splatoon 1 era and is pretty much the reason many of splatoon 2’s events even happened. The tl:dr version of if goes like this: Marie won, squid sisters split due to peer pressure (no pun intended) callie went on holiday, marie started a talk show, off the hook picked up where the squid sisters left off.
You forgot the part that because one of the first Splatfests was themed after Transformers, Splatoon canonically exists in the Transformers Aligned universe.
All the TV shows, movies, games etc that exist in our universe existed before human were extinct in the splatoon universe. Even the splatoon games are part of the splatoon universe. The idols ( Callie, Marie, Pearl and Marina ) can break the 4th wall, so they know what SpongeBob, Transformers and TMNT are because they have visited our universe.
this is a good video, but a small note: octolings and octarians arent mind controlled by octavio. hearing the calamari inkantation more inspires them to leave the underground. callie IS mind controlled though
SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! 13:12 he literally predicted the ending right there 1.) he was correct about the fuzz being Mr. Grizz's fur 2.) Mr. Grizz does infact eat salmon/salmonids/golden eggs 3.) "salmon can eat bears" little buddy becomes large buddy and bites at Mr.Grizz
The polls were used to ultimately create Splatoon 3 so that Splatoon 3, in theory, would appeal to most players. The best example is the Chaos or Order one.
You forgot to mention that the scientist gave Judd an immortality drug. As well as the fact that he built the pod specifically for Judd. Also the scientist made the pod able to clone Judd so that he wouldn’t be lonely. How sweet
Forgot the part where in the final splatfest of Splatoon 1 caused tension between the 2 squid sisters causing them to disband hence how Callie was left vulnerable to getting caught by Octavio
@@rohanrodrigues7115 actually they do. It could be argued that it's different timeliness but it's suggested to be in the same timeline. Course the games don't really call back to past ones that much so making a persona series recap still wouldn't matter much.
1. Agent 8 has number 8 because she/ he is test subject 10,008 of tartars tests 2. Tartar doesn’t just mix random people he mix people wich are the best AKA can get all 4 fangs to then use them to senitize octoling and octarians as we see in all of the levels
It still grinds my gears whenever someone pronounces Marie as “Mary,” even though the official pronunciation (according to the Splatoon Directs) is “muh-ree.” Either way though, she is still best girl.
this video is so excellently made! i came back to this video because i have friends who are getting splatoon3 without knowing anything about the previous games and are interested in the setting! really love how well summarized you covered the stories with a proper timeline. thank you!! looking forward on your thoughts with 3!
I like how this beautifully animated recap of the previous Splatoon games connects the events of their Story Modes, especially foreshadowing the beginning of Octo Expansion.
The lore of this universe is hilarious. How incredible. Amazing drawings, but there was a missed opportunity to make a “Predator” reference at the handshake scene between Cuddlefish and Octavio.
You skipped the part where Marie's solo career took off after a Splatfest chose her over her sister and that's why Callie was vulnerable to being abducted by DJ Octavio. (Also that DJ Octavio holds the Guinness record for being a victim of 'Stop Hitting Yourself'.)
Well it wasn't just Marie's solo career, Callies did as well, resulting in both became so busy they couldn't spend time with each other. Octavio probably sensed Callie's loneliness and manipulated her to "hear him out".
the amount of inaccuracies in this gives me physical pain such as the brainwashing goggles being theory that is very unlikely and how lil judd was actually made by the scientist as a failsafe in case normal judd didnt survive
I’ve always really liked the design of the character but online multiplayer only game aren’t really the kind of game I enjoy so that was a really interesting video to watch!
9:00 to clarify there was a wierd telephone that told them agent 8 was actually "applicant 10,008". Many people forget this detail and skim over the lore and wonder who agent 7 is yet we never reached that number in the first place. Edit: nobody said this but pearl and Marina are not agents 5 and 6 it was never stated or hinted at in the entire trilogy (so far. Idk I haven't played Splatoon 3's dlc) Oh yeah also you forgot to mention that pearl and Marina were there. Thank you for listening to my nit-pick.
That’d hold more weight if the specific ink weapons weren’t Inkadia’s own high-velocity munitions. I suspect the existence of Spawn Points have something to do with the sport’s popularity.
I LITERALLY JUST REALIZED Y CALLIE SEEMED SO DEPRESSED BEFORE SHE GOT MIND CONTROLLED BEFORE SPLATOON 2!!! Account to Chase’s explanation of splatfests…since Callie lost, she was legally marked as worse than Marrie!…bit harsh now that I think of it.
Forgot about 80% of the story cause I haven’t played them for ages but I wanted to remind myself before the 3rd game came out. This was very helpful thank you
The most terrifying part is definitely the "blending" one. I only played Splatoon one and had no idea about all this story afterthought. It is pretty ridiculous or hilarious so to say. What a great video though!
I'm gonna ignore the minor lore inaccuracies because this is good animation I've got my eyes on you, chase. You cannot hide, the lore gang is after you. You better not mispronounce marie again
Wait, when u fight dj octavio the second time, callie says “give them some calamari” or something idk the exact words. Then marie says “ohh i just realized, thats our names, but this isnt the time to be realizing this. Idk its just a theory and i will still call Marie Marie.
Thanks for making this you explained everything in a good and understandable fashion. I also like that everything is cartoon it really gives the video that extra charm.
3:07 It could be refrencing that the inkling either 1. Had better small arms or 2. had raided and shut down a crucial facility of the mechanized octo army.
The series I would love to see covered is any of the monster hunter games. I don't know if all the games share the same timeline/universe but picking 1 or 2 of the games which are closely related could be interesting. (monster hunter freedom unite would be cool)
That would really be great. I picked up Monster Hunter Stories 2, and I'm mostly just figuring out what's up with the setting for context clues. All of the monster hunter lore videos I've found have been "here's the environmental storytelling of a specific monster". The wiki is more concerned with tactics than lore
I think I know why mind control keeps being used in Splatoon! It's time for a biology lesson: Cephalopods have special skin cells called chromatophores which can change color. Normally they're used for active camouflage, but cuttlefish use them to hunt by flashing patterns to hypnotize prey. You should look up a video of it in action because it's really neat to see!
As far as i know the Octolings aren´t actually Mindcontroled by Octavio. They just get told since their birth that the Inklings are bad. The music of the squid sisters had many Octolings question this. Also some of the sunken scrolls are Octarian propaganda.
@Pink bunnE even thoug the ones from the second game look very simmilar to Callies glasses they are not the same. She probably influenced some of their gear and culture. This could be proven by the fact that some parts of Callies songs are played backwarts in the songs of turquoise october (the fictional band that made the single player soundtrack). The googles from the first game are probably just gear. I also want to say that this theory is not my own. I just like it.
@@burnttoast.2017 Probably just a design choice by Nintendo. As far as I know there is not a lot of in game proof for the pro Mind control theory. But at this point it´s just saying "I like the theory more because..." If you think otherwise I can´t do much about it and thats ok.
