Takotsubo Heartbeat - Splatoon Fan-Made Animatic (Multi-Sub)

This is a 22-minute animatic inspired by the events that happen between the video games Splatoon 1 and 2.
In the games, Marina leaves her oppressive underground home for the surface world of freedom and music. I wanted to explore what it means to leave one's home behind: Why would someone choose to leave or not? What struggles would they face and who would be hurt?
Using the Splatoon 2 development artwork for "beta" Pearl as a jumping point, I imagined what Marina's childhood friend would be like. Her name is Sunny, and serves as a foil to Marina.
The title of this short is named after takotsubo, the name for both an octopus trap and the "broken heart" syndrome, a weakening of the heart.
Age Rating: recommended 10+ for mild violence.

I love how the umbrella was used in the story. Pearl's bodyguard first offered it to Marina when they found her as a sign of trust and friendship, and in the battle it was used as a way to protect pearl from sunny's missiles.

@@musicaman8683 Yes. This should be even more clear, if you played the Splatoon games in the original japanese language, where it was made abundantly clear. But that fact was Lost in Translation, as Treehouse decided not to be very faithful to the original and decided to push the narrative that Inklings are good and Octarians are evil. In fact, a lot of personalities were changed in the translation too. Which came back to haunt them later when Octo Expansion became a thing. And so they had to course correct. Of course, unless you paid close attention, you'd never catch that Pearl and Marina had their dialogue-texts slightly altered in later patches.

@@memescoffee3173 If I had to find where to chronologically place the events of this story in the main canon, I think Sunny and Marina could have met after Acht and Marina got separated when the later was assigned to an elite unit and Acht as a security member. In this story, it looks like both Marina and Sunny were on different units, but they met because they both liked music and were doing some kind of "community service" (Sunny mentioned that she hadn't done any combat training, unlike Marina), maybe they knew each other for not too long before Marina escaped, but they became close friends in a short time. I also think that Acht and Sunny couldn't have met after Marina escaped because Sunny was quickly assigned to combat training as Marina's replacement and Acht, although they knew about the mess caused by Marina's escape, abandoned their duty to become a full-time DJ in an underground club, getting sanitized not too long after Octavio got defeated by Agent 3. At the time when Sunny and Marina fought, Acht was already DJ'ing at Kamabo Co.

By just playing splatoon, a lot of people are driven to the conclusion that "squids are good and fun! Octarians are evil and strict!" But the true lore of the game shows us that both sides are just fighting for themselves, to protect who they are and how they live. This animatic showing the world from an octarian perspective was so AMAZING and something I wish was more prevalent in the world of splatoon.

@reina_harhar7815 Год назад

Dang. Just thinking about the pain Sunny felt when Marina crawled to Pearl's side. She was thinking that she had been compromised and brainwashed but after the battle when she saw the earphones thinking that her being "brainwashed" is over she witnessed how Marina went to Pearl's side and Sunny finally knowing the truth. Marina wasn't brainwashed. She actually chose to stay and live with the inkling's side. Just thinking about how a friend finally found their own path and has joined and is living with the "enemies" is just... Ouch...

@frownyclowny6955 2 месяца назад

Honestly I prefer the perspective that she didn’t understand, because then her response to the devotion Marina had to Pearl and the inklings when she thought they took Marina from her. Heart-wrenching. She came so far to get her friend back but every inch feels like a canyon, so maybe she finally gave up?

@MasterEm243 Год назад

I love how Pearl takes Marina's hand in order to help Marina, then at the end, Marina takes Pearl's hand in order to help Pearl. At 2:10 you can even see Sunny and Marina holding hands as they both play the same tune. It's sort of like in the end, both Marina and Sunny are out of tune. Marina sees both sides of the world and has her choices, while Sunny only sees her side of the world. Since Marina has held both Pearl and Sunny's hands, the ending feels more metaphorical.

In her eyes, it looks like the inkling brainwashed Marina. I can't blame her because this is how Octavio portrayed them to the octarians, I hope she's not gone, I really like her a lot. I wonder if her eye piece has some kind of recording function in it. I want to see Marina's parent reaction to this. I like how you portrayed them taking the zapfish back and Marina's breaking out of the octarians' mindset. This is truly a work of art, so emotional. I hope there are more animatics of this AU.

This needs way more views, such a good take on her backstory and such a good way to implement Pearl’s beta design into the canon. I was so worried for Champ, and seeing Sunny’s side of the story and how she’s convinced on rescuing someone who doesnt need rescuing.. The whole thing had me at the edge of my seat, and the ending left me with so many questions!! I love it

@CraftingGummi Год назад

I’ve been writing a Splatoon story for a while now. It’s similar to the games, with a few extra characters and events, but not too much. And this, this has totally influenced it. I had to have Agent 3 return a few Zapfish to the Octarians just so I didn’t feel guilty, and that’s really a testament to how freaking influential this video is.

@DittoMewmew 9 месяцев назад

i remember in the splatoon manga, after the main character saves all the zapfish, he decided to share some of them with the octarians so they still had working electricity

@BasedMamaJames617 Год назад

Sunny's death floored me in grief, death is not a thing you see in the Splatoon world besides the display of human bones and mummified squid in the Sunken Sea scrolls and Tartar blowing up in Octo Expansion, even Cuttlefish copped out in his disney like revival. I'm pretty sure Marina knows she helped kill her sister, and if she ever meets Champ one day in Inkopolis how will she tell him what happened to her? Overall this is one of the best animations of any game or show I've seen, it's incredible how long it is too, you had to put so much work to make it this great. Last, I like the battle dress Sunny has, what was the inspiration behind its design?

@stupjam3378 Год назад

Sunny's battle dress is inspired heavily by Freesia from Jubei-chan! I am thinking about a commentary to explain more. thank you!

@ItzPaydayFellas Год назад

But during octo expansion, its revealed that tartar probably has the blood of thousands of octolings on his hands, or wires. There are many sugarcoated examples of death but most go over people´s heads. Like the fuzzy octolings (which become former versions of themselves, since the ooze "parasite" takes over their bodies for eternity, or the fact that octolings in the deep sea metro when outside of tests are unanchored to any respawn points, therefore them being blended is a death sentence, and its forgetting the ones that get sanitized, which is basically zombification. although they dont die fisically, they die mentally (ex. dedf1sh)

@BasedMamaJames617 Год назад

@@ItzPaydayFellas I never realized that Octoling death in the Deep Sea Metro could be permanent till recently, kinda scary actually. Knew about the blending, but didn't know it was possible since they had no respawn point outisde a test station like you mentioned. I've been trying to find info about the furry octolings and whether they temporarily or permanently changed, could you tell me where you got your info? I do agree with you first statement, death is there but to me it's still rather subtle and not outright shown (though almost shown when Agent 8 and Cuttlefish were about to be made into a smoothie, they didn't know better so they can get a pass for being naive).

@ItzPaydayFellas Год назад

@@BasedMamaJames617 i get info from sunken scrolls, texts(O.R.C.A.), messages (octo expansion's text logs) and magazines (translations) In this case it's a mix of observing worldbuilding and gameplay mechanics (specifically things like the hero mode respawn mechanics where agents 3/4 probably die when the respawn anchor turns off, as The Game says that You got splatted, and in splatoon 2, it says R.I.P. And seeing how the agents react like if agents 3/4 gave up, it would probably be like a branching universe. While something like octo expansion and the return of mamallians, the respawns are infinite to avoid losing a possible mold to use. While in splatoon 3, the levels probably hve a respawn somewhere inside the kettles, as O.R.C.A. has no reason to kill You. (And might actually be helping You , since orca might have stopped the great flood, since alterna was probably flooded after humans died. As orca might recognize inklings as inhabitants, and help them. Since orca was active at the start of the cephalopod era Another thing i noticed is that snaitization is very similar to pickling Which is the process of replacing the líquid of a (most common) pickle, which is mostly líquid. This could be how fuzzy octolings and sanitized octolings are Made. Since it's shown in both the octo expansion artbooks and somewhat in the character cretaor of the octo expansion that the octolings are submerged in sanitized ink, which is (i assume) Made from the dead bodies of the top testers. Tl:dr Spawnpoints from hero mode is My source, and octolings are brined into other ink colours, might be explained in side order

@BasedMamaJames617 Год назад

@@ItzPaydayFellas You have an eye for detail, your explanation for how death works in Splatoon was really thorough and I liked it. Might get Hiakara Walker to see more info about Octo Expansion since it sounds cool. As for the pickling process of the Octolings, seems very plausible on how they got turned in Sanitized and Fuzzied Octolings. Speaking of Deadf1sh, apparently her autograph is also on the outside wall of Hotlantis, so most likely she escaped the Deep Sea Metro and is doing her best to live a normal life. No better place to do that than in Splatville, hope we see her in Side Order!

@adzukibean2190 Год назад

This has so much more nuance about the world building that the games ever had. This is what it’s like living in a totalitarian society. You have your own way of life sure, but influence from the outside is unacceptable. They treated media and music from the squids as if it were a disease that SHOULD NOT reach or influence the octolings. There is literally propaganda in the sky. And in the the children’s books. Propaganda that demonstrates “the importance of everyone doing Thier part in a nation to defeat the evil foreigners and hold dominance.” This is genuinely amazing, and it parallels to a lot of places like North Korea, who don’t let its citizens consume foreign media either.

@totallynotaferret Год назад

i could've sworn this was some 3-year old animatic that ingrained itself into the community and was like a rite of passage but no. this is only a few weeks old. good job dude! (Personal note: I hope Inkopolis has respawn points inside it.)

@marmelade8331 Год назад

This is absolutely everything. I have a feeling you understand the world of splatoon better than many other people. You portrayed the octarians beautifully, how they're just trying to survive and defend themselves. This important point in marinas life, where she heard the music, is done wonderfully. This is a piece of art. Beautiful, unique, heartbreaking.

@starlightrai Год назад

I love the details in this. Like how Sunny’s mole isn’t actually real -> mirroring marina and the book. And how Sunny stops having a mole after Marina runs away. I also love how Marina made many mistakes but she’s treated like a flawed protagonist because we already know her and root for her. It’s a sad story but beautiful. I really enjoyed how you added a new layer to marina and the original pearl concept.

@allergyjelly Год назад

@aurawarrior1367 Год назад

This was amazing! I love how you incorporated pearl’s original octoling design as a separate character! It’s really interesting to see the events of splatoon 1’s hero mode from the octarian’s point of view. I admit that Nintendo’s worldbuilding with splatoon can be a little frustrating at times (especially since we still don’t have any details on what exactly happened between Octavio and Cap’n cuttlefish besides infering on being forced apart in a war, and Nintendo also glossing over how inklings really kinda screwed the octarian’s over. I get Nintendo would be kinda of scared to villainize the Species that’s basically the main face of the IP, but still). But the lack of the more “detailed” worldbuilding gives creators a lot of creative leeway to make masterpieces like this! Also the sequence where marina was listening to the calamari inkantation, that was like, Disney level choreography! (Also marina talking to Judd kinda felt like an old anime scene, I don’t know why)

@stupjam3378 Год назад

I feel like Nintendo has all the pieces for a great story internally decided, they are just holding back. The Judd scene was totally 'inspired' by Muta in the Cat Returns! The first city chase scene. Thank you!

@uncleben726 Год назад

I love how ambiguous both sides feel in this interpretation of the inkling-octoling conflict. It really makes you question which side is brainwashing who, what's the truth, what's propaganda, etc. Maybe its BOTH sides who are shady, or maybe they are both just doing what's best for their own people. It's really all a matter of perspective, and that is masterfully done in this story. Excellent work!

@insanity2896 Год назад

God this was beautiful. I have some ideas for a potential part 2 where Pearl and Marina wake up in the hospital and Marina has to deal with the blowback( because finding two celebrities unconscious and injured in the middle of the road is bound to be all over the internet) as well as grappling with both her decisions that led up to that fight with Sunny , and dealing with them now. How come every decision she made for herself had to result in someone she cared about getting hurt? Would she ever truly be free of her past? She knew she was a fugitive, and if Octocity wanted her back, this wouldn't be the last time they try something like this. How would she explain what happened to Pearl and the squidizens of Inkopolis? Was it even safe to be around Pearl anymore, in case something like this happened again? Marina couldn't stand the thought of Pearl being thrust into danger without her by her side to protect her or even worse, being squidnapped as leverage to get to Marina. It scared her even more knowing that her people were not above that. She thought she wanted a life with freedom, fame, and a newfound relationship, but she never imagined any of this. She felt surrounded and yet felt so alone. These are just my ideas of what could happen after the fact, please take it with a grain of salt.

@jackgruw7290 Год назад

As much as I love seeing marina in this fanfic backstory, let's not forget the whole thing that we get to see the octarian society in their struggles, loved that inklings have their moments as well but not as the major thing in the story despite the original context is here, since we already seen it endlessly...much. but besides that, this story felt realistic in it's own unique factors, really makes you wish that Nintendo will give us a show with it like that ninjala game. Moreover, I REALLY love the inkling propaganda played a major role in this animation. It really shows that there really isn't an easy solution when it comes to freedom for the people, or one's self instead. The ironic thing here is that the inkantation is literally the song of the people, like all marine life including the octarians. But since it's treated as brainwashing since the king warped the whole thing, makes the stakes for both kinds all the more dire with this separation. Banter of old folks of you will. And the sad thing about sacrifice, is that you have to trade this happiness, with the new (old) one....the choice wasn't easy. Marina could go back to her old ways if she could, but chose the new one while of course trying to take one or two at least with her, but of course.... inevitability happened after all this time. Is it justified.....? Hard to say, like I said, it wasn't an easy choice to make to swap good and bad things in life for the better or worse. Hell, even if you choose to live up there, problems are still going even still. It's unavoidable to leave the past and it always follows no matter what, one thing cannot go away even if it's gone. There are always going to be new ordeals to deal with even after choosing to be free, freedom always comes with a price after all.😔
