He's a clone

Mad woman.

I have a theory. The sea urchin guy from splat 1 is Grizz. We dont know what his new business is but we do know that Grizzco came out of nowhere at the same time. That's just guessing, but it's my theory
So we can all agree that Mr. Grizz is gonna be the antagonist of the next game right?
you can see Spyke in a Cafe in the square
Judd could've killed and eaten all of these characters if they had been in an unevolved state like in his time. They're mostly too big for him to attack now but let's just they should probably keep him away from the squib babies.
Lil Judd was born to be entertainment for Judd if he got board. That's literally his while existence in Just doesn't even seem to care about him.
I know, hes using Grizz as a mouthpiece
REPLICAAAAAAAAAAAT
Haven't played in a while, do we finally get to wear clout goggles like Bisk
(((jellys)))
I just want Grizz to be an actual bear
What is this mess of an image even trying to convey?
>Judds reaction to everyone is "yum"
Wrong. They're mixing things from before S2 and during and it makes it sound that way. They're also using the wrong portrait. It's an S2 image but they use a non S2 Callie portrait. It's a lazy image. Misrepresenting Callie as usual.
He's a cat surrounded by fish people, why wouldn't he
So like a human surrounded by burger people. Wait, that's just an american vacation.
Judd is Fucked up
Okay I'll admit as a burger myself, that got a chuckle out of me.
If fucking love 8
I want to marry Agent 8
>you will never take your octoling wife out for a fancy night out
end it
Why can't you buy the stupid Octoling girl Amiibo separately...
I don't wanna spend 40 bucks on it
you can, they are sold separately in japan, just look it up on ebay
>Marina has been celebrating your test clears with samples from OtH's new single
That's just adorable as fuck.
Bomb Rush Blush feat. DJ Octavio had samples from the finished level jingle from the base game too, nice to see them continuing that idea
Huh, I always figured those parts were meant to reference I am Octavio, but that makes sense, too.
>why, yes, I exclusively play goo tuber how did you know ?
I thought it was implying that callie tried to hear octavio out before getting hypnoshade'd
Eh now that you mention it, that's probably why it's in there, but it might have started out as the stage clear theme and then been worked into I am octavio, then from that into bomb rush blush
>Why yes I exclusively play dualies, how did you know?
I still have no idea what Agent 3 was doing the whole time during Octo expansion and why Tartar sent her collect thangs when he already had lotsa blenders and could have just sanitised her any time
blessed image
No actually when the fuck did this happen
>huh?
>salmonids sees us as intruders
I meant agent 8 by "her"
Agent 3 was probably on recon or something
I doubt even that happened since he was supposed to be locked up.
World Turf War between Octarian loyalists, Grizzco, Salmonids, Kamabo corp, and the Squidbeak Splatoon
but she had the kamaco corp thingie and the employee version even implying (s)he was already sort of brainwahsed and doing things for Tartar
They three feed him.
the whole point of having 8 collect the thangs was to prove to tartar that she was a fine specimen, fine enough to blend up; he returns the thangs back to their places when a test subject is blended up
Agent 3 got separated from Agent 8 and Captain Cuttlefish so she was gathering intel on her own while trying to locate them and she ultimately arrived in the nick of time.
Commander Tartar sends people to collect the pieces of the blender in order to test them and see if they're worth blending to use their juices as the primordial soup to cover Inkopolis in and create better creatures from since he was disappointed with the Inklings.
Sometime between 1 and 2, Judd's cryopod activated again and spat out a clone. This was explained in the sunken scrolls found in splatoon 2's campaign
Is this official lore?
you hear over the radio the exact moment when tartar splats her with the sanitized goo through Cap'n Cuttlefish's radio
How she got they employee thingy idk
Some of it doesn't make sense so maybe maybe not. I don't think they care enough to have "official lore." They just put out whatever.
JP version calls Octavio "The so-called boss" even.
To be precise, someone tripped over the electric cable of the cryopod and when it got connected again, the pod created a clone, Lil Judd. It is explained that the human scientist who froze Judd set the pod up to create a clone so that Judd wouldn't feel lonely if he was the last living being upon waking up.
I don't know what's cuter, boy 3 and girl 8, or girl 3 and boy 8.
based dualiebro dabbing on shitty mist users
Tartar was looking for the best lifeforms to be blended into his primordial ooze, so not just anyone would've been blended. Applicants who failed to collect the four thangs would've simply been sanitized and repurposed to work in the test facility as obstacles for new applicants until their eventual deaths at the hands of some hotshot squid/octo. Agent 3 separately was making their own way through the facility downward, trying to reach Cuttlefish. Marina's SOS finally got the location signal to that squid and they were able to reach the location in time.
boy 3 and girl 8
I have to say boy 3 and girl 8 simply because veemo
Agent 3 and 8 work for me in any combination of genders.
Girl 3 and Girl 8
I guess I can agree but only if Agent 4 is a girl, too.
This could be a political cartoon
As long as there's veemo, I approve
Splatoon 2's story and the Octo Expansion happen around the same time.
This.
Octo Expansion is the mission Cuttlefish is on that is mentioned in the Splatoon 2 SP
Your waifu is not only evil, but also a big dumb and a slut.
Can't beat octodick
Nothing beats the octodick
You're not only too stupid to understand the plot of a kid's game but are also an obvious troll and degenerate. You're an unsightly shitstain on this community and probably irl as well.
COPE
Please be nice to Callie
Callie is too pure for this world
I see, I see...
So what this is saying is that Marina was made for human dick, right?
BIG
FLOPPERS
What, no. It doesn't even say anything about humans.
Nah I'm pretty sure I saw a part confirming that. Just squint.
Wow, so she WAS made for human dick. Fascinating.
Are Inklings tsundere for Octolings?
I prefer yandere
And 8 either wants to fuck Marina or wants to kill, skin and become Marina
>that fucking face
Why is it that every game nowadays has such massive convoluted lore?
It's not that convoluted, pretty straightforward for both games
Octo expand dong
What's convoluted about it?
Marina is for Pearl
They'll just let a human join in if one appears
cute
i see a splatoon thread and want to say hi to calliefriends, and all i see is people being rude to the muffin. it's post splatoon 2 release all over again
I can't fucking stop laughing
It's just one shitlord really. They're powerless in the wake of Calliefriend unity.
cute calliefriend!
Is this official? It's weirding me out how close it is to the usual fan depictions of the agents - skilled and jaded / cynical but kind of pretentious Agent 3, polite, wide-eyed and in awe of Agent 3 Agent 8, more normal "youth of today" Agent 4. Usually when a fan-characterized almost-blank-slate starts getting clear official character traits it's more in the vein of ACTUALLY NITORI WAS AN ASSHOLE JEW ALL ALONG.
Nice to see you too!
how are you today friend?
As subtle as it is, 8 has some really great characterization
FAKER
>Calliefriends
The mem cakes were great, probably the most original way of giving a voiceless PC a personality I've seen
My favourite was the key mem cake:
"Beneath a summer sky I walk,
Through valley, plain, and back again,
Dreaming of what you might unlock. "
>calls someone shitlord
Nice try Tumblr.
Otherwise yes. I want to breed best squid.
>yfw you will never date Marie
>ywn give callie and marie a big hug
She's definitively the heartbreaker type that will use you as her plaything until she gets bored
Not great. I'm behind on sleep and this old garbage being dragged up again by Nintendo puts me in a bad mood. Especially in such a misleading way. I might play splatfest with friends later. I don't think I'll have the energy to make a top 100 push which requires you to hard carry randoms for many games. Maybe I will near the end. Knights btw
oh man, sorry to hear that calliefriend, if you have the time, take a nap before the splatfest starts so you might have a little more energy to work with
I always like the Splatoon doujins where everyone is super into the yuri stuff
Yuri is great and all, but nothing beats good old fashioned straightness
I'll try and thanks
Is it really that unbelievable that resedent Dum Squid fell for the old "I'm a changed man! Let me out so I can do good for the world" bit? Though, it is contradictory to the artbook, where Callie got hypnotized because Octavio swapped her shades for his.
Callie is intelligent, delete your account
of course! I hope your day gets better!
that's not hard to believe it's just unsubstantiated and contradicts previous material.
you have a good one as well, friend
>massive
Yes
>convoluted
No you want some out there Lore go to Mario and Kirby. Splatoon lore is simple and right there.
>Splatoon lore is simple and right there.
And not all that well thought out.
What do you mean by that user. The sea levels rose killing us off, the squids evolved to take over with other sea life following suit. The Octoling and Inklings took similar forms of Ink and race war over the surface. Octolings are only recently in the Inklings own version of current year environment being welcomed back to the surface via a literal underground railway
How is that not well thought out?
I think it will definitively be revealed in future titles that ink- and octolings are actually genetically engineered humans that were made to be able to live in the world after kevin costner came and made waterworld
The director already denied that humans had anything to do with the evolution of inkings
Reminder that in all multiplayer matches, inklings shoot to kill. It's okay though because kettles are around to reanimate.
How exactly does Sqiud society work? Where are all the adults? Are the adults also splatting all the time? Do they look any differently from the kids? None of the idols do in height and even the Captain isn't all that taller. Do they have turf wars in the office or at the construction site? How does getting splatted and respawning work? Are the little squids that emgere when you got splatted the actual squids and octos? Can you use currency earned from games in places other than the plaza? If yes, how is this economy stable? Why work anything else, if you can just have fun earning money in something that your slightly ADHD riddled society was seemingly made for? Why is there an Egyptian sarcophagus at the Shellendorf Museum? Did the squids just emulate humans? If yes, how did they find the information to imitate it? Yet alone understand it? Why do squids implode in water? If not, what makes them splat? How is clothing remembered when shifting forms, and does it have to be fished out when falling into water?
Whhhhhyyyyyy
>Sea waters rose up, so the survivors created genetically altered humans who dissolve in water
No, that's dumb
Of course,he is just mr.grizz after all.He even has samon bones in his fishbowl
I still think they will retcon it
based on splicing DNA from sea creatures with human DNA, except maybe it didn't have the desired effect
Most of these really aren't problems with the lore though, a lot of them can be handwaved by inkopolis plaza just being the place where teenagers hang out.
Adults really don't need to be seen for this kind of entertainment.
And unanswered questions are only problems if they raise issues with other elements at a fundamental level, the fact that everything outside of Salmon run is basically just tennagers having a good time hides a lot about the world.
According to a dev interview, jellys are the "sponsors" of the inkling society and handle a lot
>adults are keeping the society up by having jobs, you play as the teenagers doing things that are cool with teenagers
> Theres turf wars everywhere, but theyre mostly used when theres an argument as opposed to fun.
> getting splatted has no canonical reason
>economy is all over the place, but you use the same currency in between the games and grizzco meaning they use the same currency everywhere. but the turf wars are probably pennies compared to real jobs
> Squids canonicly mimicked the humans or atleast the ruins they left behind. its why everything seems a bit human but still off. They only had archeological things to base it on so most of it is wild guesses.
>Squids are made of ink, thus they implode in water.
The lore is created after the gameplay, but they are, at best, wild ideas thrown in for fun and some semblance of context and background, but they are not set in stone.
(((sponsors)))
The mem cake poems really remind me of William Murdoch, and especially The Metal Glen (which was a parody of him, but whatever). They both have the same otherworldly feel from both being written in trochaic tetrameter. I wonder if the localizers were inspired by that, especially considering the similar setting to RubyQuest of escaping a fucked-up underwater research facility:
>A world of men and man's design
>A place where God's light would not shine
>A Hell of steel beneath the brine
>Where misery's echoes boomed.
>And all around her there were others
>Beasts like her, all sisters, brothers,
>Locked up, all, with one another,
>In deep sea-dark, entombed.
Daisy Quest when
Alright let's get nuts user, don't mind me correcting your typos
>How exactly does Squid society work?
Same way ours does
>Where are all the adults?
Doing adult things
>Are the adults also splatting all the time?
Probably not.
>Do they look any differently from the kids?
Yes we have an artbook and secret scroll that answer that
>None of the idols do in height and even the Captain isn't all that taller.
Cap is an old man and the Idols minus Pearl are taller than you
>Do they have turf wars in the office or at the construction site?
Much like most events in our time there is probably paperwork and boring behind the scenes stuff that gets them started.
>How does getting splatted and respawning work?
I assume that it works like Slimes in most RPGs and have a core.
>Are the little squids that emerge when you got splatted the actual squids and octos?
I assume so
>Can you use currency earned from games in places other than the plaza?
I don't see why not
>If yes, how is this economy stable?
I don't know how is ours stable with Twitch thots getting money from playing vidya
>Why work anything else, if you can just have fun earning money in something that your slightly ADHD riddled society was seemingly made for?
Some people might not like Turf wars and getting let down by a shitty team
>Why is there an Egyptian sarcophagus at the Shellendorf Museum?
It belongs in a museum user. Squidiana Jones says so
>Did the squids just emulate humans?
Probably
>If yes, how did they find the information to imitate it, yet alone understand it?
The same way we figure out old stuff from study
>Why do squids implode in water? If not, what makes them splat?
Does Ink and Water mix user?
>How is clothing remembered when shifting forms, and does it have to be fished out when falling into water?
I think Nogami answered this somewhere but I forget what he said.
They're really more like Keurigs.
>Can you use currency earned from games in places other than the plaza?
I figure that's just an abstraction for the sake of gameplay. In "reality", you're not walking into a skyscraper lobby and getting teleported to a match, you're just fucking around with your friends in the back streets like a human adolescent playing football with his mates in a field somewhere, and betting amongst yourselves who wins or getting pocket money in between games or whatever.
They could also be more like arcade tokens, especially since they aren't paid out in Salmon Run, which is supposed to be a "real" summer job for teens

This game
Splatfest soon, brothers.

>Flow/Murch /ss/
Oh my
I guess, but then the whole setup just feels contrived. Even in a society that's all about having fun, you don't need an elaborate government-administered tokens-and-rewards system to incentivize kids to fuck around playing games with each other, they do that on their own. It's like how every fantasy anime these days can't just have characters that exist in and adventure through their world naturally, there has to be a special Adventurer's Guild™ organization they have to jointhat gives out Quests™ on little pieces of paper and administers the entire thing for no fucking reason.
How is Celtic Rock even a thing

So you’re either showing off skin or showing off shape, wearing pants normally does neither
Only slightly related but I think that Shark dude should be played by Nick Frost in Splatoon: The Movie. I don't know why, they just look alike to me.
>Discussing lore of a game for 6 years old game
SEETHING
I love this. Poor Lil Judd gets so lil characterization in-game, and for his first major official description to be so existential and pained.
Uhhh... cope
I'm okay with never seeing him in person, but yeah he's a bear in my head. He wants the salmon themselves but also knows inkopolis needs the eggs, so it's the perfect cover for him.
Do you think the work crews meet him directly or is he always below decks on the boat?
Best fuckin song. That whole final sequence gave me chills, from the turf war intro to pearls atomic killer wail.

Not just bar fights, she's fighting the singer of the same band. If the Bottom Feeders were real I'd be going to all their shows.
Completely missed that, even better.
