"Salmonids are not afraid of death." is such a raw sentence I swear.
Has the same energy as "Starscream, a known racist-"
lol

raw fish eh?
Much like real spawning salmon.
Added: Their death help feed the young.
"I think the theory that Mr. Grizz is an actual mammalian bear that eats golden eggs is just... dumb"
*Splatoon 3 has entered the chat*
Yeaa
It was crazy
Well he wasn’t eating them at least
@@strangeworld9376 we’d all prefer that, wouldn’t we?
This part of the video aged like milk
it’s still a little dumb lol
About the pet salmonid in Splatoon 3, NO. It's not a pet at all... It's a BUDDY. He's just following us trough our adventure.
*bro calm down its a game i dont care if salmon is pet i just like having salmon with me*

he shall cheer for you while you battle
THE NEW TRAILER
@@anhilo9716 i have an salmon pet in annimal crossing
damn considering the splatoon 3 trailer i guess the chaos ending really shook up how inklings and salmonids culturally perceive each other. i'd like to believe the smallfry is like a 50 yr old war veteran who regrets not letting himself get eaten during the great squid war and the inkling is just "hee hoo funny fish guy"
i think the small fry arent babies, theyre just... young. like the inklings are ingame! which would make steel heads...
Sadly Smallfry were confirmed to be juvenile salmonids.
@@TheRealDismantler i mean, who knows how long Salmonids live? It could be that they live so long 50 years really is young, for them.
@@oranplan1630 I mean they migrate every 70 years so who knows
@@TheRealDismantler sadly?
I'd much prefer thinking that my Little Buddy could become a big fearsome salmonid that fight alongside me rather than staying as a comical partner all the way through
"Some smallfry can pilot flying technology"
The flyfish: *aggressive button mashing*
"According to the Grizzco handbook 🤓"
Thats actually what they do to keep flying. Lol
At 5:02 it was mentioned that the Salmonoids can literally become a part of a Griller and doing so is the ultimate honor. Flash forward to Splatoon 3 and if you clip the camera into a stunned Griller, you can see actual, modeled vegetables floating alongside some Chum in a pool of their ink inside! Crazy attention to detail.
This was the case in 2 as well. You could see the chums spinning inside
splatoon’s world is always a bit darker than i think it is! seriously great video! thank you
Ironically, Splatoon 2 isn't censored, but the characters in the english version are infinitely more violent. In the japanese version, it's all sweet and wholesome all the time. We can't let kids see cool kids complimenting each other, but keep the green octopus puree
This is an awesome video
Only a BIT?
Reminds me of Kirby
@@abra_escaped red eyes splitting blood goes wroooom
“The theory mr.grizz is an actual bear is dumb”….. well that didn’t age well .

I think they meant the part about Grizz EATING the golden eggs was dumb. In the next statement, they speculate that Grizz is probably using them to power something BIG instead, which was correct tbh
@Dragonrider13025 he uses it for the ooze
@@Lost_souls_of_the_night the main threat of the story, yes.
Fun fact: in the PNW (where I grew up), native culture surrounding salmon is that you have to return their bodies to the streams and rivers so they can reincarnate in big ol' cycle of life! So it's similar to real life beliefs
Wow sometimes you don’t really think twice about a design... I had no idea what the Griller was, but it’s obvious now... it’s a fucking grill, and the Salmonids are literally being grilled I guess, so what’s with the stream of ink then? Is that like... fish oil? For gameplay purposes the Salmonids have to leave ink, but fish don’t really make INK, do they?
The octarians have more advanced tech so of course the Flooders are robots, but the Griller contains living beings so... is the stream of ink actually their body fluids being leaked out because the grill is crushing them? Hmmm
Whatever the case... I just find that so disturbing
YES I also do think the "ink" is like a weird fish oil and not actual ink! From the interview I remember something like "the part that produces ink is a machine" in reference to like the steel eels and stuff so maybe they're borrowing some mass ink producing technology as well from the octarians? The cooked Salmonid getting their bodies pressed for ink does sound pretty brutal. And I mean... When you cook meat it lets off oil, wonder if it's a mix of all of those things 🤔🤔🤔
@@rassicas *I don't know about the griller specifically, but iirc the Steelhead's "explosive mucus" fills the bomb on its head. Although the book saying that it's explosive sounds like it's different than other Salmonid ink, it's functionally the same so.
*Therefore, Salmonid ink is mucus, just as cephalopod ink is. Though this begs the question- are Salmonid actually mostly or entirely made of ink the same way Inklings/Octolings are, since the Griller produces ink from being... well, grilled? Maws being able to disappear under the ink suggests this.
*Them transitioning to ink-based lifeforms would provide incentive for them to want to be on land so badly.
*Edit: In hindsight it says saliva. However, saliva has mucus in it?
@@prinxen1733 i don't think they could be made *mostly* of the same "ink" substance as inklings just because they can survive underwater unlike inklings, who just explode un contact with it.
i could see it being a substance similar enough to ink that doesn't disolve on water or maybe even octarian technology that allows them to no be as soluble.
@@estebanco6937 *I'm guessing they're not an ink-based lifeform yet, and that the majority of the species is only in a transitional stage, but anything you said also works
@@rassicas it is possible that the “ink” could be the juices that meat usually drip when grilled
Now that Splatoon 3 has been announced, I feel weird about having a pet “adult” salmonid. Can’t wait to give it an unnecessarily long name though.
The Salmonoid in Splatoon 3 is not a pet tho.
Tinzhira, partner of the squid
Little Buddy, not pet. A true compatriot, bond by blood to overcome all obstacles in a way that transcends the capabilities of even the loyalest pet.
Anyway someone's gonna eat your little buddy and you're going to be so mad
@@Gloomdrake You shut your mouth right now
Kojake is not a pet. And the japanese tweet introducing Kojake states he is a juvenile salmonid.
I think Splatoon 3 will expand on Salmonid stuff, since the player character is shown to have a smallfry who is their pet/friend in the trailer
More of a friend, it's weird seeing them as "pets" since they have the same intelectual power as an inkling.
@@brinst_ar Yeah true, and the game does call it your "little buddy"
@@Blue_Anzu but don’t forget the smallfry is an adult too
@@brinst_ar well one of the leaked images (which might be false so take this with a grain of salt) shows the inkling with a salmonid on a leash.
considering the game's lore it would be hilariously dark, but possible that inklings are starting an in-universe slave trade with salmonids as the product
i mean they are already fine with stealing their golden eggs which clearly have moving and living salmon thingies inside of them,so who's to say they aren't ok with owning salmonids?
@@howdyimhowdy the only image with a salmonoid in a leash that is real is the official one. And yeah, they probably used it to evade having to model a whole new pet for the inkling girl.
YES I also had the theory that golden eggs are an insanely powerful source of energy, that or they're literally gold and mr grizz is processing them to get richer, either way he's hoarding resources. I always saw mr grizz as a capitalist and after this video 'eat the rich' hits differently lmao
Gamer tip: pocket one of them golden eggs when your doing a shift, trust me, you can power ur game boy for like
IDK a long time? XD
+ : low electricity bill.
I think it's pretty obvious he's using them to create superweapons
You even use his supercharged weapons in salmon runs sometimes. The grizzco weapons have heavy references to the golden eggs as a core of their design.
it would certainly explain why they continue attacking instead of periodically
I kinda think the fact inklings are dumb is why they still use capitalism as the way their society functions..... even though it failed so bad humans did self extinction
Knowing they "aren't afraid of death" makes me want a inkling-like salmonid even more while also making me want that less
Kinda how I originally felt about playable octolings to be honest.
Read the comic (sorry forgot the name but its one of the hero mode ost clapho something)
@@simeonrice6047 well at least for the octolings, they made sense. octopods are cephalopods, like squid, & octolings already existed even before splatoon 2, let alone the octo expansion DLC
for the salmonids, they're goddamn fish... they have fucking bones, so they wouldn't be able to transform.. & it would be tiktaalik all over again.
We'll something that somehow keeps Inklings ability to morph themselves with ink, and Salmons being Muscly creatures with bones, is intersting Deal.
It's giving me headechnce to make any sense, how is Maw able to go under the ink? it's has small Length Like 1 centimeter.
@@alexcat6685 yeah there's a LOT of inconsistency with the splatoon lore, physics in general, & evolution in general
how & why did cephalopods fill the niche left open from the extinction of humans? let alone in only a few thousand years?
Noted, I will now be naming my salmonid OC “that fucker down the street who stole my chocolate bar once”
Yes
Dam that clan got Beef.
HONESTLY....... i love the small obscure details of splatoon, it gives the otherwise bright and loud game this slight darker undertone, it's so cool even if i do feel just a little bad for slaughtering hundreds of salmonids now lol,, you're truly doing the fandom a service by bringing all this info to light thank u for ur blessing 👌
salmonids being the only creature seen to use ink that isn't ink-based biologically is interesting as hell
I'm guessing it's fish oil
I always thought that it was just really dirty sludge-water XD Then the maws can swim in it because its using the Octarian technology that allows the snorkel Octarians to go in the ink
It's their mucus, not ink
@@WiretheAlligator that makes sense
I have a weirdly specific headcannon:
based on there designs, outfits, music, and overall aesthetic, I like to imagine that, (if the game had actual voice acting) they would have sort of, deep south hillbilly swamp voices. the best example I can think of is the swamp folk from Fallout 3.
"YALL COMIN' IN MAH HOUSE
ON MAH BREE'IN SEASON
STEAL *MY* EGGS
ON GAWD ILL END YOU"
Yes
I think my favorite take on "Salmonlings" is the one featured in the comic Cephaloparade by HorseFeathers. They're called Evolved Salmonids and are basically the result of Octarian genetic experiments. They're like merpeople, with a humanoid top and a tail on the bottom, and they don't transform. You can find a good comic dub of it on UA-cam by yume's studio.
You’re right, that is a reasonably good execution. Sounds like an interesting read, too.
7:41
*nervously laughs in a Post-Spaltoon 3 world*
‘We wont see any salmonids in inkopolis square.’
Lil’ buddy: 👁👄👁
To be fair... the Splatlands are supposedly pretty far away from Inkopolis. We may not even see it in 3
big run:
Fortunately, with hindsight, he is an exception among exceptions.
7:30 WELL ACTULLY ABOUT THAT
I pretty sure she's reffering tot he eating of it than him being bear which can possible.
"please squid girl let me go I have a dog And 3 kids"
"I'm naming you Gonzalo"
"let me go please i need to get milk squid girl have mercy on me"
"you're my friend now we're having soft tacos later,"
In the reveal trailer for Splatoon 3 the Inkling at the beginning has what seems to be a Salmonlid as a pet. I want to know how and why. I hope the Salmonlid and Inkling are just friends traveling together or something.
Me too
Or it’s a child and it’s a baby leash
I don't think it's a pet, more of a friend
Emergency food.
@@kanenanda3300 is this a genshin impact reference
@@ChaoticMushy Yes.
9:05 finally someone who agrees with me on this. I honestly think only cephalopods have evolved the shifting trait ya know?
We are legit getting a smallfry for a pet in splatoon 3
Friend
an ally

Imagine a flyfish in multiplayer
little buddy isn't a pet man
he's just your buddy
Sir. I'd like my gold star please for the viewing pleasure of listening to this video.

THE PET ONE DIDNT AGE WELL AT ALL

Lil buddy ain’t a pet he a buddy
I mean, chaos reigned so, maybe laws weren't enforced/things incredibly changed over time
@@kingcobra8738 Yeah, hell probably be more of an ally then a pet judging by his name.
NOPE
I honestly like the idea on the salmonid on a leash picture , in the sense of befriending a salmonid and not having it as a pet , just imagine having a salmonid friend , and while people say that "but salmonids can eat inklings " your dog/cat can eat you too , yet we have them as pets , it would be easyer to have a salmonid friend since its a more sentient creature so it would likely know how to do things by itself unlike a pet so it would be easy to live with one , althought the hard part would be to befriend one
Man's really trying to explain slavery 💀
@@WizardOfHomelessPeople100 looking back on this coment , i may or may not have been high as a kite lol
Your good lmao. I was just having fun
Basically remove the leash and were cool.
Since like its said around 10:12
The splatoon 3 trailer: legit having your first friend as a small fry. (Edit: OMG thanks for 206 likes) ((edit number two: OMG iDK HOW YALL CAN DO YOU TY FOR 370 LIKES))
My aunt plays a lot of salmon run and when she heard that I swear she didn’t rage quit so fast in her life
YES I NOW
Splatoon 3 does seem to be set on the outskirts of society.
Rebellious Chads.
How do you edit
Chaos reigned and so the old laws were cast away.
10:45 maybe the salmonoid just has a humiliation kink?
Thanks, i hate it
@@Amongusaurus Yeah sometimes i don't think before i post
Yes
I’d also like to bring up that the Grillers also have Octarian tracking technology but yeah I don’t really like salmonlings either
I always forget about that, it's just like the flooders!
Yeah, I dislike the salmons too. Rip and tear until it's done
but what about lil’ buddy (yes ik this was made before then lol)
No, I take back what I said. Doom is temporary, illegal salmonoid immigration is eternal
@@ikilledtvguy check my latest vid! I talk about little buddy and tie it back to stuff I speculated here.
LOTS to take in from this... personally i always saw the salmonids as kinda smart yet mindless since you could easily point a weapon at them and they wouldn just keep moving towards you but always had that feeling in the back of my head that there was more to them. Especially considering the whole circle of life and honor thing they got going on. It's kinda nuts. Looking death straight in the face with no fear.
I can't wait to have a smallfry buddy in Splatoon 3 :)
This is a huge speculation but... I think that the golden salmon eggs ARE going to be a plot point in Splatoon 3 because of the lil buddy. Why else would we have a lil salmonid friend?
I am BETTING we will get golden egg info finally! I've been feeling certain that the fact that we aren't told what golden eggs are for is because its going to have plot relevance. Mr. Grizz being a final boss or orchestrating some evil things in Splatoon 3 is something I would love to see.
@@rassicas *looks to the ending of splatoon 3 story mode*
@@rassicas that aged well
FINALLY SOME MORE INFO god I love the salmonids, and this made me love them more. They’re just a really refreshing addition to the world. I have been looking for a channel like this for a while, so glad I stumbled upon this!
Damn this made me realise that in the mothership wave the hele helmets have the golden eggs in them which should confirm they can be used as a power source, but maybe they just have the golden eggs in the helmet as a light and it's powered by something else
“Personally I think the theory that Mr. Grizz is an actual mammalian bear who eats the golden eggs is uh… dumb.”
WELL DO I AND PROBABLY A FEW HUNDRED OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SOME NEWS THAT YOU’VE LIKELY ALREADY HEARD FOR YOU!
Thank you for teaching me that salmonids don't fear death and are canonically okay with their flesh being sold for inkling consumption. You've definitely earned my subscription.
The crazy thing about this video is that it basically predicted the entire plot of Splatoon 3.
" i personally think mr grizz being a real mammalian bear eating the golden eggs is uh.. dumb.
splatoon 3 : well yes but actually no
7:45 surprisingly accurate
Lore: it's illegal :)
Splatoon 3: *There is no law!!!*
cant believe how accurate you were with predictions for splat 3, grizz and the eggs as energy source. keep up the good work!!
7:34 uhhhhhhh
5:09 The words “Salmonids are not afraid of death” sends shivers down my spine
THERES MULTIPLE CLONES OF SHIVER??
@@agent.gent. join the shiver collective
7:20 you got that completely correct! In fact, in splatoon 3
-- Spoilers --
The eggs are used to power a giant rocket into space so Mr. Grizzo can coat the world in goo fuzz. That's why he hired the player to collect the golden eggs
That part when you said that the golden eggs were used as a source of energy was spot on, now that the splatoon 3 story mode is out
"the devs are likely saving this as a plot point of splatoon 3 or something" THEY PREDIFCTED SPLATOON 3 LMAOOO
Ever since S3’s release, I’ve rewatched this and laughed at how many correct guesses were made in this video.
finding out that your fanon salmonid society and lore match up with the canon is the best feeling ever
6:15 The developers DID reveal what Golden Eggs do in Splatoon 3. I love that you just guessed that a year ago.
And spoiler:
Mr Grizz IS a real mammalian Bear, and he uses the eggs for something that needs alot of energy.
Now that Splatoon 3 has come out
Your speculation about Grizz was pretty on point.
7:40 With Splatoon 3's context. Spoiler for anyone who hasn't played story mode.
I think that Mr. Grizz probably did eat a few eggs here or there, but mostly gathered them up to power up the rocket and to power up the thingy that let him turn sea creatures into mammals.
(SPOILERS FOR S3 STORY MODE)
I thought lil buddy was just journeying with us to find their spawning grounds. That when we reached space and lil buddy glow floated up they found home.
Because they could never find their true spawning ground, they chose to maul a bear to death and became apart of the universe itself.
That's my headcannon, and I cried bc I thought they were dead before they jumped back into my arms. Love you lil bud, you're still stardust, life, and death to me < 3.
10:26 Possibly that Salmonid and the inking got freaky.
Or, on a more serious note, there could be some nuanced stuff like needing a license to bring a Salmonid into their country as part of a refugee program. Which could be in part of how some individual Salmonids may not align with the philosophical beliefs of the Salmonids' common belief. Thus straying away and seeking refuge, but needing to be supervised by an inkling, in a different country can be a good answer as well.
Then again, that is just brainstorming up ideas. Likely, like you said, it's just something the devs slapped together than to put work into modeling a pet more aligned in the Splatoon lore.
7:31 lol that aged well
"I think the theory that Mr. Grizz is an actual mammalian bear who eats the eggs is dumb"
I feel so bad for you now
9:58 "We probably aren't going to see salmonids in inkopolis"
big run ensues
Hold on, the golden eggs may be raised in order to be used as little buddies? Like, they’re being domesticated to work beside the inklings and octolings.
"Mr Grizz being an actual bear is dumb" "he's not eating them, but using them for something else" I love these comments coming here after splat 3
And so here we are, 2021, and it's been confirmed we get a lil' salmon I'd buddy in splat 3! No idea where it's gonna go, but hey, I can't wait for it.
Your comments about Grizzco are delicious in September of the year 2022
Little buddy Smallfry is a COMPANION, not a pet, and based on the new sunken scrolls they're a Smallfry that got separated from their school and probably would've died if they hadn't met and befriended Agent 3. Not a pet. a buddy.
10:15 don't worry he's just got a humiliation fetish
i love how much this person predicted
This video is a year old but this has inspired me to make a salmonaid maws boss oc in the future. His name will be "greatest pogger of the deep sea; apprentice of Jerma"
Hey, I just made a dumb theory about Golden Eggs: Mr. Grizz is actually Tartar and he's using the eggs to power NILS (I know, I know, he charges absorbing sunlight but you know, something THIS big can't be powered ONLY by sunlight)
Alternatively, tartar survived (how would an advanced ai be housed in a 50's payphone) and now that he no longer has his big death laser, he has to clear out the world with good old-fashioned fire and sword. Could explain how chaos happened, if just an ungodly horde of sanitized octarians suddenly appeared.
9:57 Now, how does this line feel with the Splatoon 3 reveal trailer?
yea... mr grizz is actually a bear... but he uses them to make goo so-
Salmon run, a game mode so iconic that it got a parody mention in a Team Fortress 2 Mann vs Machine mission.
Excellent work! Came here from your Splatoon Iceberg tweet and I look forward to seeing your video on that!
In the first minute and 34 seconds you've already earned my respect and the title of CEO of Splatoon lore
"i think taht mister grizz being a real grizly bear and eating the golden eggs is kinda dumb" oooooooooh. if only she knew. IF ONLY SHE KNEW
It's so fascinating, having stumbled across this video and all the speculation about golden eggs, given the info that we get from Splatoon 3's story mode.
A friend recommended me your channel recently and I made a playlist to binge all splatoon videos. I just watched this first one and I already love it. I've never really come across splatoon lore channels
Ya know, despite the Salmonid’s having big hillbilly energy, I find it really cool that they have the cultural mindset they do. It’s interesting and keeps them for just being hillbilly fish stand-ins
I think that Mr. Grizz is actually a greedy octarian leader and hires you to get golden eggs for him to build more octarian stuff, because the salmonids won't trade them. So basically, if the inklings and octolings stopped working for Grizzco, the octarian menace would get super weak without their golden eggs which they secretly use to build their big, strong, boss machines.
So uh.
About Mr. Grizz and those Golden Eggs.
I mean he’s not eating them
@@bluerious5475 I mean he is absorbing them though and thats basically eating
Now that splatoon 3 is out and having beat Story mode I think it's very clear that Mr. Griz used the Golden eggs to power the rocket
As a Splatoon fanatic, when you first start playing you think of it as a bright colorful goofy game, but the amount of lore involved it amazing
I hope in splatoon 4 or a dlc, we will be able to explore an actual salmonid society that is fully separated from inklings and see what the salmon think of the whole conflict.
Me who seen splatoon 3 trailer and knows for a fact there is a possibility that salmoned and inklings can be friends
...ya know the fact that we’re gonna have a pet small fry in splatoon 3 leaves me very confused because of this video like they’re very clearly intelligent so like...did our little Buddy WANT to be our pet? Or is the small fry not our pet at all? Are they our friend? Can they do things for us in the story mode????
I assume Grizz is gonna be the antagonist and we'll be supporting the Salmonids somehow. If Little Buddy ends up leading us to some deserted location, that's a prime spot for a shady business to be based.
well it's called little 'buddy', not pet. He's just following us through the trailer. We didn't even touching him.
@@MegaNarwhalGuy wow that aged well
“Inklings and salmonid can’t be friends.”
Splatoon 3 trailer: are you sure about that?
Flyfish: I use missiles
Steelhead: I throw bombs
Drizzler: I rain down ink
Stinger: I use a laser
Maws: _e a t_
griller: heck yeah! death
holy shit they called it!! I'm not spoiling anything about 3 but wow you were spot on
7:28 really hits different after completing Splatoon 3's story mode
4:09 this is actually true for real salmon, I live in an area where salmon come by often, and there's an area called the locks (its kind of like a dam) but once every year salmon swim up the dam just to get back to where they were to lay their eggs. Just like how you stated they are willing to kill anything including each other in order to get back there. Except that our salmon dont arm themselves in cooking utensils to fight each other, they just like push and shove each other.
the theory about spawning/ocean salmonids looking different is actually most likely true. in the trailer when we get a close up view of the small fry buddy, you can see that not only is its top beak-shaped mouth lip thing gray (similar to that of an ocean salmon) but its hazmat suit thing is also gray instead of yellow. both of these are bright colors dulled down to a grayer color, meaning that the small fry isn't in a spawning stage (yet)
Being a salmon run player and hearing " *Salmonoids are NOT afraid of death* " gave me chills....
So this is going off memory but I remember in Splatoon 1 in inkopolis news for saltspray rig calie or marie mention something about how seagulls attack them? Or something about how salted squid is a delecicy (God I can't spell that word) in some restaurants? Like I said this is purely from memory but the whole food chain idea made me think of it
A thing I have heard, is that the golden eggs are used by Grizz for energy, but they hatch into salmonids that have a good chance to become boss salmonids, like steelheads having explosive saliva, scrapers being smart, or rarely, they hatch in to goldies, which are acctualy what lay the golden eggs, they are just given to other boss salmonids to protect, since the goldies trust them. THIS IS ALL SPECULATION THOUGH.
this is so awesome....i always loved Salmonids and this brings me so much information i never wouldve have found without you! lets just say i have more respect for them now
9:57 "So yeah, we're probably not going to see Salmonoids walking around Inkopolis any time soon." Well, I guess Splatsville is technically a different place, but that still did not age well. (thank you for these videos, this information would likely remain inaccessible to English fans if not for your efforts).
Please do more splatoon lore videos! I don't really see anyone else doing so...
thanks for the effort of translatic everything and putting it so nice together!
10:05 obviously, it's a kink thing.
I've loved salmonids since day one and this video makes me happy to see
