The reason they evolved into bipeds that can switch between forms was because a nuclear bomb was launched at a base in Antarctic during WWV (World War 5), melting all of the ice there, causing tsunamis and flooding. The acidity of sea water was now that of tomato juice, so cephalopods decided to NOT die and evolved to live on land, giving them a natural weakness to water.

I know this is an old video, but it is actually explained in the game that the society the the inklings live in, is after all humans had been wiped out. That automatically makes it so they are more squid than kid. Just proving your theory correct.
but there's one thing, *PRIMATES!* Primates have a relative high inteligence, and the squids to turn into humans would like *NEED BILLIONS OF YEARS* and to humans die soo easy like that doens't make sense, is more likely the coastal country's & islands would be wiped out but the Humans would still relatively still alive.
after the announcement of splatoon 3, there have been many map changes, one of the ones I found was on the map with the ship, it says: "see you in splatlands, 2022" you can find this on one of the many flags on the ship. maybe we can figure out the story behind why the world is so scorched and broken in the trailer before the game is released.
Here's a challenge Matpat, can you explain the paranormal activities that happen in the mushroom kingdom (aka: boos and ghosts). What dies to become boos? Why does Mario always enter every mansion he runs into? And most importantly, where do these mansions come from?
I’m praying and begging that MatPat makes another Splatoon 3 theory now that we’ve got two new games and a story mode that practically tells us the answer to this video
I know he wanted to prove it with science but the thing is he didn't even mention the scroll making it look like 1. Nobody else has found it and 2. Like he figured out all these hidden Easter eggs even though there's a scroll.

The actual lore is explained in the "The Art of Splatoon: The book with splattitude" shows that on page 313 it says the world ended due to somebody launching a nuclear missile at the South Pole, as seen here "During the last war, someone from somewhere launched a nuclear warhead into the South Pole." The reasoning behind that is because there were 3 more world wars and on the fifth one is when humanity went extinct as shown earlier on the same page.

Jensaw101 well the English thing is that it SHOULD br octopodes however people just pick and choose when they want to follow the rules we have been using or not
+lordmew5 That may be the case -- if we want to decide that rules arbitrarily chosen by the Greeks are better than rules arbitrarily chosen by the English -- but it doesn't change the fact that he edited that clip in a manipulative way to change what the expert was saying.
Fair enough. Although that people needed to actively seek out the correct conjugation after the fact (at least, as claimed by the editor in the video he linked), leads me to question if using an English conjugation wouldn't have been sufficient.
After beating Splatoon 3, which is YEARS later than this video was posted, MatPat is correct, squids evolved into squid kids from human desire and genetic experiments
I know this is before Splatoon 2 but in the single player campaign if you listen to Marie in the car wash level she is quoted saying “Well, we don’t have any bones,” YOUR WELCOME FOR ACTUALLY LISTENING TO MARIE
TinyCelebiGamer LVL 14 Of Beakers Depot of Splatoon 2 in the sniper lvl going up that parking lot, about to get to the very top Marie says "Surprised you haven't broken any bones! Well, we don't have any bones so forget it"
Sky The Dragon Umm, I saw it too and MatPat also found other evidence that they have no bones so could you shut the hell up?? You are REALLY annoying. Plus, who doesn't listen to Marie? She has a lot to say, dammit.
The first game literally says that the Inklings don't have bones. Sunken Scroll #5. It also says that Inklings evolved from Squids that adapted to living on land. Sunken Scroll #10. Wait... what was the point of this video again?
id love to see tom revisit this game series sometime, the lore has expanded insanely from what was available when this video came out. even a brief recap of the lore would be amazing, like what matpat did with shorts wars
I come from the land of the future with Splatoon 2 having been released for the Nintendo switch with a wuote from marina, “this really gets my ink pumping.”
Matpat: "Do you even dictionary, bro?" Me: Actually, "octopodes" is not technically an official English word. It originated from people who thought the word was Greek derived, and no one uses it anymore. The official word to describe the plural of octopus is just "octopuses". Also, "octopi" is basically the same thing as "octopodes"; it's not technically correct.
Chadley Burns In Super Smash Bros Ultimate theirs and Easter egg called “Palutena’s Guidance” where pit gets help from Palutena in the fight, if you fight an inkling, it confirms it’s a squid.
@@kavneetgill8789 Except it's from Hal Laboratory. The same people who created Kirby. Plus Smash is not considered a canon game in any timeline, except Kirby's.
An easy and simple way to figure this out is one sunken scroll has an evolution chart of the inklings. They may have turned to human lookalikes but they are still squid
This theory also makes sense as kids would have no reason to become like squids, which aren’t as good as kids, but squids would need to become like people in order to really survive, and therefore makes this theory even more realistic
Splatoon 3 confirmed that the inklings and octolings had rapidly accelerated human-themed evolution because of crystals, (look up the alterna logs for elaboration). Inkling is a species of squid that can transform into a humanoid squid. They moved on to land after all of the humans died in a flood caused by themselves.
*Game Theory Are you a kid or a squid? -Splatoon SOLVED* *Clicks on video* Mat pat: Both. *Video ends* Me: that is the best theory I've ever heard I'm not even kidding I though that's what the video was gonna be XD
As a biochemist when Mat Pat said 'when our DNA gets copied there is a lot of junk in it' I shed a single tear. My man has no respect for intron functionality and the benefits of having more regulation by alternative splicing :(
Squid and kid its a play on words Squ (from squid) id (from kid) Squid :O K (from kid) id (from squid) No need for that 14 minute video its a 1 minute ;D
matt: using science to prove that inklings are squids nintendo: releases official artwork showing that inklings are born as squids anyway and only gain control of a humanoid figure at the age of 14 matt: years of training wasted!
After beating Splatoon 3, which is YEARS later than this video was posted, MatPat is correct, squids evolved into squid kids from human desire and genetic experiments
Not for exactly the right reason tho, its not their rng editing or whatever that allowed them to evolve quickly, its the weird human mind reading crystals in the water, well, and maybe a little bit of the rna thing

Jensaw101 well the English thing is that it SHOULD br octopodes however people just pick and choose when they want to follow the rules we have been using or not
+lordmew5 That may be the case -- if we want to decide that rules arbitrarily chosen by the Greeks are better than rules arbitrarily chosen by the English -- but it doesn't change the fact that he edited that clip in a manipulative way to change what the expert was saying.
Jensaw101 i am not saying the greek version is in anyway better but it didn't maje any sense to take a wordans not take its plural form with it
Fair enough. Although that people needed to actively seek out the correct conjugation after the fact (at least, as claimed by the editor in the video he linked), leads me to question if using an English conjugation wouldn't have been sufficient.
After beating Splatoon 3, which is YEARS later than this video was posted, MatPat is correct, squids evolved into squid kids from human desire and genetic experiments

I know this is before Splatoon 2 but in the single player campaign if you listen to Marie in the car wash level she is quoted saying “Well, we don’t have any bones,” YOUR WELCOME FOR ACTUALLY LISTENING TO MARIE
Sky The Dragon In Splatoon 2, she say "don't break any bones...oh wait we don't have them" in one of the missions.
TinyCelebiGamer LVL 14 Of Beakers Depot of Splatoon 2 in the sniper lvl going up that parking lot, about to get to the very top Marie says "Surprised you haven't broken any bones! Well, we don't have any bones so forget it"
Sky The Dragon Umm, I saw it too and MatPat also found other evidence that they have no bones so could you shut the hell up?? You are REALLY annoying. Plus, who doesn't listen to Marie? She has a lot to say, dammit.
The first game literally says that the Inklings don't have bones. Sunken Scroll #5.
It also says that Inklings evolved from Squids that adapted to living on land. Sunken Scroll #10.
Wait... what was the point of this video again?
StuffAboutSandwiches to see if inklings are kid or squids
id love to see tom revisit this game series sometime, the lore has expanded insanely from what was available when this video came out. even a brief recap of the lore would be amazing, like what matpat did with shorts wars
When we play splatoon, we roll kids into their own pile of blood and squid flesh
Smith Peter But it is also rolling kids into puddles of ammunition
I come from the land of the future with Splatoon 2 having been released for the Nintendo switch with a wuote from marina, “this really gets my ink pumping.”

MatPat is the type of person who sees a slogan for a game and ask "Is anyone gonna make a theory about that?" and not wait for an answer.

ALL PRAISE THE HELIX! FOREVER ITS RAIN! PRAISE THE SQUID!
Matpat: "Do you even dictionary, bro?"
Me: Actually, "octopodes" is not technically an official English word. It originated from people who thought the word was Greek derived, and no one uses it anymore. The official word to describe the plural of octopus is just "octopuses". Also, "octopi" is basically the same thing as "octopodes"; it's not technically correct.
*IMPORTANT UPDATE*
*PALUTENA'S GUIDENCE FOR THE INKLING CONFIRMS THIS THEORY IN SMASH ULTIMATE GOOD JOB MATPAT YOU DID IT*
Chadley Burns In Super Smash Bros Ultimate theirs and Easter egg called “Palutena’s Guidance” where pit gets help from Palutena in the fight, if you fight an inkling, it confirms it’s a squid.

Didn’t the sunken scrolls already said that the squids evolved,
oh shiz thats true
OMG YES IT DID LE GASP
So we already knew this before he made this but his videos are funny UwU
Can't tell if the comment above me is ironic or not but it actually gives me suicidal thoughts.
@@carlosjovel85 considering their name, i believe it isn't ironic :^(
Octodad makes so much sense now
Laser Squid111 I was thinking about that too!
Finally. The war is over. :' )
An easy and simple way to figure this out is one sunken scroll has an evolution chart of the inklings. They may have turned to human lookalikes but they are still squid
Snapshot 2015 Yep, it specifically says: Bones: None! And high pressure, high capacity ink sacs.
Snapshot 2015 all of his work GONE
😎
Good point Snapshot 2015
Snapshot 2015 that's just a chart of them growing up from birth to age 14
This theory also makes sense as kids would have no reason to become like squids, which aren’t as good as kids, but squids would need to become like people in order to really survive, and therefore makes this theory even more realistic
Splatoon: are you a squid or a kid?
Me: IM HUNGYY BABEY!!!
“To Kid, Or to Squid,”
“That is the question”
MatPat 2017
He could have skipped all of this because in one of the sunken scrolls in the first game, the scroll show that squids had evolve into Inklings.
Content
Splatoon 3 confirmed that the inklings and octolings had rapidly accelerated human-themed evolution because of crystals, (look up the alterna logs for elaboration). Inkling is a species of squid that can transform into a humanoid squid. They moved on to land after all of the humans died in a flood caused by themselves.

Johnny Townsend you are right
As a biochemist when Mat Pat said 'when our DNA gets copied there is a lot of junk in it' I shed a single tear. My man has no respect for intron functionality and the benefits of having more regulation by alternative splicing :(
Finally someone who understands this aswell!
MLG Jesus wait introns are actually used for something?

As an American highschool student I can very firmly state that I can't conceive a single reason he'd mention all that. Sorry bro.
+Cynist yeah exactly he basically uses science for dummies
Developers: Uhhhhhh i didnt want my game to go here
MatPat would've flipped his lid doing a Pikmin Theory considering the Post Apocalypse Story of Distant Planet.
Well. Splatoon 2 pretty much confirms that humanity disappeared at least 1200 years ago.

No they have two

matt: using science to prove that inklings are squids
nintendo: releases official artwork showing that inklings are born as squids anyway and only gain control of a humanoid figure at the age of 14

Marie in splatoon 2 said “surprised you didn’t break any bones. Well squids don’t have any bones soooooooooo”
After beating Splatoon 3, which is YEARS later than this video was posted, MatPat is correct, squids evolved into squid kids from human desire and genetic experiments
legit when I first read that bit of lore my first thought was “matpat was right!”
Not for exactly the right reason tho, its not their rng editing or whatever that allowed them to evolve quickly, its the weird human mind reading crystals in the water, well, and maybe a little bit of the rna thing
big nuke went boom, fishies are now not fishies
@@squiffurthewolf6276 it is possible the crystals manipulated the squid rna to make them more human
I thought there was no end and you just shoot others
