What's up with Marine Mammals in Splatoon? 

Same with the line just before: "what if there were mammals launched into space"

20:26 aged just as well too

Aged perfectly

EXCELLENT point

And they were roommates

You can be rich and still live in an apartment with a landlord.

@@joeyjose727 omg they were roommates

historians will say they were good friends

All mammals may be gone in the Splatoon world but CAPITALISM PERSSITS

That's cool, housing probably is handled by the private sector then.

Guess whats more terrifying that also means taxes exist in the splatoon world

Tom Nook decides to cross over into Splatoon, breaking all lore and reasoning just to get your rent payment

…

Yes yes, apparently the squid on the logo of enperry has a bite in it, and that bite is supposed to be from a whale!

@@rassicas Oh that’s super cool! I never actually noticed that, now I’ll have to look up the enperry logo

@@chrometheraptor did you look up the enperry logo

@@callie_calamari it. it has been sixth months. I assume yes?

exactly what I thought too!

Could also be interpreted as Marina just calling her landlord old.

Maybe Pearl should have reacted to “My landlord is a narwhal” all surprised like “really?!” and Marina could’ve silently looked at the camera (well, with a “…” dialogue box). Then it would show us that narwhals are known to be extinct and deepen the culture too. Have a great day/night, Jesus loves you ❤️

thisss

@Pokedude True, unless her landlord was THAT bad XD

You mean like when Marina says she believes in Narwhals? Maybe her dialogue would be better viewed as saying her Landlord is a secret agent. Which would explain Pearl calling her crazy.

Whale watching on a whole new level. Have a great day/night, Jesus loves you ❤️

💀

"Squid cheese" and "Organic ink butter"

Oh, like, Soya milk or something.

Mmmhmm yummy

This is my kingdom come-

I imagine them like the megafauna, they are hella old and extinct, but we do know how they were because our species was alive during that time, seeing and drawing them and the future generations. We still think sabertooths and mammoths are cool as hell, so they must think that too

im expecting the splatoon team to take a more bizarre route if we get an explanation, but i genuinely like this reasoning as a more realistic take on it!!!

And then there are birds.

@@StoryTeller796 birds can fly to avoid the rising water levels and can hold on to driftwood they find

@@nyxie8799 Yes, though technically aren't they mammals? Or are they something else that I forgot about? Avians?

@@StoryTeller796 birds are archossaurs. They split from reptiles 230 millions of years ago. They are decents of diapsid reptiles and not sinapsids like Mammels.

PFFFFF

plot twist: rassicas was told about the storyline and they were hinting at it casually

From what I found, it isn't that they believed Octarians were extinct, it's that they don't believe Octarians are real. The same way that Marina talks about how she wishes humans were real, despite also stating that human bones can be found anywhere. Not that she wishes humans were alive, but that they were real. This is especially important because Octo Expansion did change some dialogue for Off the Hook, but not that line. And in Octo Expansion, Cuttlefish seeing the human statue says that the humans are extinct, meaning there is a difference between being real and being alive.

@@justinalicea1590 ive been looking a lot at JP octo expansion dialogue, and found its not that they dont think octarians are real, or extinct like i incorrectly stated way back in the iceberg video, its that they thought they went super far away! marina saying she wishes humans were real is a joke in reference to an old splatoon miiverse post of "i wish squids were real," so thats localization only.

@@justinalicea1590 The "I wish humans were real" was a joke line, referencing an old splatoon miiverse post that said "I wish squids were real"

@@rassicas omg thats amazing

hello fantroll

mmm hamsuck

I'm glad we're at least past the era of text quirks

if I had a proper fantroll I'd come up with a quirk I guess

Marine mammals need air more than sea creatures do :/c

And pigeons!

there also might be soya milk and maybe almond milk as well

Hmmmmm which to buy? Soy or Discus or pigeon MILK?

What about laboratori Milk you know with Bacteria

Whoa, arapaimas look cool. Since discus “milk” doesn’t look milky, if the milk in the cereal is an actual animal product then it’s probably arapaima milk. Thanks for sharing the cool facts! Have a great day/night whoever reads this, Jesus loves you ❤️

It would be soooo cool

it's more POST-post apocalypse, cuz the apocalypse is stated to have happened forever ago, and there's like a genuine actual society with what seems to be some form of government hanging around, so... not really a post-apocalypse at that point.

"If there's no milk, how pancake?"

YES LMAOOOOOO

maybe he lives in a paddling pool lol

Maybe Marina is the crazy one, and is hallucinating Narwhals existing, even though they died off thousands of years ago.

@@AAZ-yu5ss Or she is just joking.

I hate to bring up the shallow theory of "it's for entertainment so it's fake," but, given that Marina and Pearl live together (as an earlier comment stated), it's entirely possible the "narwhal landlord" thing was just a bit for the cameras. Just some "we don't know how to set up saying this stuff about narwhals, so Marina, why don't you pretend you pay one rent! It's not like they know you live with Pearl anyway!" Given the Octo Expansion retcons Marina's early localization personality as being an act, it's not out of the realm of possibility for them to fudge things for the camera.

Could be a reference to real life where many still think narwhals are fantasy animals like unicorns

NAHHHHHHHH WTF THATS CREEPY HOW ACCURATE THIS IS

@@minou2980 FR

@@minou2980 TRUE💀💀💀

I think it's more likely that Lil' Judd is behind it, considering he's implied to be evil

Technically we saw them in the single player trailer but it was an art piece so your theory still stands, maybe it could be a missing persons thing, sort of like what happened when you had to find agent 3 in octo expansion, just without the customisation

What I wanna know is how they're in a completely different city every game so far.

@@LylaDagger Well, Inkopolis Square isn’t too far from Inkopolis Plaza (you can see the tower in the distance at the back right side of the map) so really the Splatlands are the farthest we’ve gone, and considering this comment you replied to, I don’t think Judd and Lil Judd made it.

well that aged badly

That’s sounds decently sensible but won’t the lack of oxygen affect Judd and lil Judd too maybe even affecting the octolings and inklings that could also breath oxygen? Perhaps the octolings and inklings don’t breath oxygen and Judd and Lil Judd use respirators that mountaineers use.

@@fancyb.p.6122 All animals breathe oxygen, it's just a result of simple respiration. Clearly, we see trees in Splatoon, and many kinds of land plants from our time are stated to exist, so it's likely that they made a resurgence after the extinction of mammals. Given the fact that there aren't a lot of ways to kill off all the algae on earth short of completely demolishing the oceans, (which would have killed off all the sea life), so this theory, while interesting, still leaves a lot of things unexplained.

Not only is there a ton of greenery, many forms of aquatic plants would likely thrive in the splatoon world, so the oxygen difference probably would not be enough.

@@woomy2343you’re making an assumption that because there is oxygen then inklings and octolings must breath oxygen like real world animals. They don’t have to breath oxygen. Unless I’ve missed some confirmation on what they breath in which case I would love to see it.

@@fancyb.p.6122 they evolved from squids and are thus animals. Also, you're forgetting that there are other animals that live in the world of splatoon that do exist in real life. Birds, fish, and turtles are just a few.

I've noticed that Nintendo developers usually use open wording like that in interviews, probably to avoid writing themselves into a corner when they need to retcon something.

Woah, that’s a really smart theory! :00

wait what-

NOA really tried to cover their ass for that mistake in the OE dialogue by having pearl say that 'it was just jokes.' but yeah, JP makes it more clear, pearl Definitely didn't know marina was an octoling!

@@rassicas Well, I mean, that too is kinda confusing too. How did she not know Marina was an Octoling. It isn't something you can hide like how a Wizard can hide their magic from others, because she is one outside and magic is inside. She must have invented a whole series of cover stories, which in the end probably should've had Pearl break away from Marina. This isn't like the TV show Merlin where Arthur is an idiot who has grown overly attached to Merlin, no, there has to be some psychological reason for why Pearl hangs around Marina so much. She must have never bought Marina's stories in the first place or she can't bear the thought of losing Marina because of either School Trouble's (it is a whole running gag that Pearl is too short, so she could've been bullied because of that) or because of family troubles (Money can't buy you love) and she has grown too clingy around Marina. There could be hundreds of other reasons why they hang out together, from Pearl having an entire villain arc viewing her as a cheap source of revenue for her talents (she did have some bratty tendencies in some of her dialog) to her just appreciating and sitting back in awe at her technological imagination (She constantly says that she has never seened most of the things that Marina has built). Heck, perhaps all of these happened as her character developed, we will probably never know since we know that they didn't focus on the Squid Sisters, Captain Cuttlefish, DJ Octavio etc for lore reasons due to budgeting and expectations for the series' success. So, we will probably have to wait a long while before we get something more in depth for how and why, and I definitely don't want something short-term gap fill because they have been performing together for long enough that there has to be something between them that they haven't revealed to us.

Now I’m imagining sea creatures trying to reach the surface to breathe while the water rises above them and the sonic drowning music plays

LITERALLY LIKE WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS 6 MONTHS AGO, THE SPLATOON FANDOM KNEW

Well I would think at least some records survived from the human age. Maybe they found some ancient artistic renditions or data stored somewhere. Or like some kid's plastic animals toy set, because plastic takes Forrrreeevvvveeeerrrrr to break down, especially if it was sheltered from the elements or just buried somewhere.

dinosaurs were 65000000 years ago, mammals in splatoon were 12000 there could be pictures of sea mammals that survived that long

Also, they could have mummified remains which would be more likely to contain pigment

The sunken scrolls have some surviving pictures from the human era, and Splatfests come from a human fax machine, so we can assume that some human media was left intact. Also we can see from a sunken scroll with a Wii U and the fact that Tartar has been around for 12,00 years as proof that some computers may have survived with salvageable data

The Future is Wild

I loved The Future is Wild. The cartoon on Discovery Kids was also p good. Billiam made a retrospective here on youtube

The Future Is Wild is a prequel to Splatoon, I tell you!

So why is the Japanese localization - and worse, Japanese supplementary material - special? It's still a localization even if it's the one most of the devs play.

@@keiyakins I'm not getting what you mean.

Right😭

@@happybirthdayjon :(

I mean Splatoon is still a game for children, so I assume the ones asking those questions aren’t that old

@@DanParre sadly no some people think bats are bird not mammals

Inklings/octos have boobs so.... maybe they drink their own supply? ...ew.

Well technically not IN the world anymore

@@minafrog Technically... yes, though he is still alive. (as seen in the credits)

@@commanderblackheart5856 no he is dead that is just a nice decoration for the credits

yeeeeeeeah….. about that ,

@@sbubbt2318 I know god damn it I know. I totally forgot about this idea and this would have been better tbh. Still an awful ending

most large whales eat plankton from near the surface

Their food isn't really gonna be closer to the bottom of the ocean than any fish

Walrus/seals (one of them, not sure) do go to the bottom to search for clams.

Plus master mega

@@9esperr6sucks9 sharks are fish

I literally made a disclaimer about if grizz is a bear at the start of the video

@@rassicas i mean less of a disclaimer and more of a mention of him and im sayin that this video is wrong now because of splat 3 and i got this video recommended to me literally minutes after i beat the story mode and saw grizz

Rassicas goes by they/them btw

@@paperaleks4896 oh my bad, thank you for letting me know!

YES !!!

It's a good idea honestly but that scenario would also lead to the extinction of birds which we see still alive in game

@@plompedu I mean I feel that the utter lack of land as the flooding was implied to cause would too, it is also possible that birds are just drones in lore like that one bs conspiracy theory

While you may be right about the air part, water is incredibly good at resisting radiation. You can swim in a pool with radioactive material and be completely healthy.

@@sherbertshortkake6649 i Feel like this would depend heavily on the quantity of radioactive material released by the warhead and whatever else is destroyed by the subsequent flood. While the sudden increase in volume of water would definitely add a lot more for it to absorb I do still feel like the warhead and whatever other radioactive substances that would be absorbed by the flood would be enough to hold at least minor radioactive qualities, at least for a little while. While water is definitely a good absorber of radiation, we are also talking about a warhead that destroyed an entire continent, which would need to be 30.8x10^9 times stronger than the standard nuclear warhead (or that same number in individual bombs but in lore it was only one). However this is assuming 100% efficiency so it could be much more. That’s a much larger and much more powerful explosive than what we have, and would likely release significantly more radiation. Overall we are discussing something that would require significantly more math on a level way to advanced for me to have even an atom of hope of completing, and all things considered, I don’t think that we know enough to even be able to find out which of us is right, but it is an interesting thing to debate over. Source for math about the nuclear warhead: www.quora.com/How-many-nukes-would-it-take-to-melt-all-the-ice-in-Antarctica

Human relics seem more likely to me. Humanity would want to leave behind notes on the way we understood our own world- we already have the Svalbard Global Seed Bank and the Voyager Golden Record for example. After many world wars and with catastrophe looming over all life on earth, I think humanity would probably try to preserve some knowledge for future intelligent life. Through the course of time these documents may have been damaged, but some knowledge could probably be gleaned from the surviving parts inklings were able to find.

Edit: at 15:00 the comic there is the one I’m speaking of

Ofc I have nothing to back this up so it’s more or less a head cannon :)

Maybe it is kinda like "boomer" for us?
