In the Spañish version Grizz says "I was stuck in the past....Unable to accept the new future" which hits a lot harder then what he says in the English version of the game
For people (including Jay) who've finished story mode, if you're still wondering who now runs Grizzco, you'll notice that Grizzco now has a new statue in replace of the old one and Lil' Judd now has a headset. It is now rumored that Lil' Judd is now running the pre-recorded messages of Salmon Run.
waiiiit a minute...lil'judd just appeared in splatoon 2 right? and he's fuzzier than Judd, could be be made from the furry ooze? Or if not, somehow be on Mr.Grizz's side, would explain why he's continuing salmon run, as technically there's no need for golden eggs anymore, unless, he is his successor? He IS a mammal. :o
I mean we know that lil judd is still trying to kill judd (my reaction when I unlocked that sunken scroll:aww how cute he’s still trying kill him.that’s adorable-) so I guess he is making money on the side to do so
@@LycanMOON WAIT HE IS??? bruh I had no idea wtf. guess I need to pay more attention to the scrolls🫠 thats quite interesting honestly, does it say why?
@@PurpleKrystie He hates how he's just seen as something thats meant to be the exact same as judd, so in order to be his own person, he wants to end regular judd.
@@PurpleKrystie It basically says that he's a backup incase something went wrong with Judd's cyrosleep. Lil judd knows this and basically has an inferiority complex.
To be honest... The fact that most of us theorised that mr griss is the final boss & in the end it turns out to be true feels like a sweet treat & the inkantation remix is sick
The definition of deep cut is literally “A thing that true fans would understand” (well something like that) and that’s just one part of the game that makes it so special Calamari inkantation 3mix and wave goodbye make me cry everytime,I’ll miss this if we truly never get a 4th game
@@LycanMOON With how well Splatoon 3 sold (literally broke the record in Japan for opening weekend sales, including huge series like Dragon Quest), there's no way this is the last Splatoon game. It's the last in the current trilogy's storyline, but no way Nintendo won't continue to capitalize on its popularity.
Honestly i loved the reason why tartar was dissapointed. The AI didn't seem to realize that turf wars were just friendly battles in the end. The first alterna log seems to imply that humanity perished in a nuclear war, so it just saw this "new civilization" just making the same errors as humans, fighting for no reason, and not wanting to see another enormous war (and possibly being destroyed in it), it decided that it'll destroy them itself, because they weren't worth redeeming.
@@_piranha In Tartar’s defense, the Great Turf War was a legitimate war over land. For a time, he’s completely justified in thinking that this new species is no better than humanity.
@@_piranhaits kinda weird because tartar didnt even do anything close to its purpose. it just started having an ego. many of the things it points out about the inklings and octolings “imperfections” are the things we did.
fun fact! after beating the story mode, Mr. Grizz's phone speaker thingy is replaced with one of hugefry eating a bear, instead of the bear eating a salmon also the zapfish has one hair on its head now
@@bloodorange7428 i feel like the final splatoon game will have a story of trying to replace the zapfish as a source of power due to its repeated abuse
Unless he's part of the dlc! I'm personally betting on that, there feels like a lot of things in story mode left specifically vague so we can explore it later, like what octavio was up to before/after.
I’m glad we got to be on the same side. Octavio is unironically one of my favorite characters, so not having to pound him into the ground again (minus the misunderstanding at the start of 3) and getting to drive his mech was a treat
If you think about it, Cuttlefish and Agent 3 were mentioned in Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode, and Octo Expansion would proceed to follow their story (well, Agent 8’s story, but they were there too). I’m thinking we’ll be seeing what Octavio was doing behind the scenes in the DLC.
I think so too, I mean SOMETHING’s going on with the zap fish. They keep mentioning how it looks different after each story. And they’re right, it seems to be getting smaller and smaller, I wonder what it’s about
Another reason I also believe that this isn’t the end for splatoon is because I don’t think Nintendo would just throw away such a good idea and IP permanently. There’s gonna be something more
19:25 Tartar didn’t necessarily want humans or mammals, he just wanted the ultimate life form bc he thought inklings and octolings weren’t good enough. Whereas mr grizz wants specifically mammals
Yeah, Tartar is disappointed that inklings and octolings are pretty much just amphibious humans society-wise. In some ways, he was a counterpoint to Grizz's ideas.
I literally cried during the credits 😭 just the realization that this thing that’s been in my life for SEVEN years is finally over. This amazing story that I’ve been so into since I was 10. It’s crazy I love splatoon so much. Such a big impact on me.
@@Mikefilms419 no I mean it’s thought this is the end of the story that’s going on right now. The games aren’t over but I heard this is maybe the end of the story trilogy
In an interview for Splatoon 2, it was insinuated that Grizz doesn't even watch us work half the time and a lot of the commentary we hear from him during our shifts were pre recorded. Now that he's gone after the story mode, it's insinuated that Lil Judd has taken over because he now has a headset and the best statue has changed, and he's just playing those pre recorded messages. And another detail on Ark Polaris' map - as well as those signs in English warning of bears, you can find bear tracks! We know now those belong to Grizz.
Regarding that final log For the record, giving an animal fur does *not* make it a mammal. If that ooze REALLY DOES make anything it touches a mammal specifically, then that would mean all their organs and the structure of their bodies change too.

Basically, there’s a sunken scroll which shows that after inklings evolved into their current forms, there was a giant flood that almost destroyed the world again, but 3 lights appeared and united to stop the flood.
Dj octavio, the squid sisters and deep cut just casually going back in time to sing calamari inkantation 3mix and it got engraved on the inkling's mind for the rest of eternity
idk if anyone mentioned this already, but I like how when you beat the story mode, Mr. Grizz's statue changes to a bear being eaten by a salmon, very fun detail
A few little details that are left after completing the story! 1) After beating the story mode, Lil Judd now has a new headpiece! This doesn't appear until after you beat the story mode, and since Splatoon 2 implied that all of Mr Grizz's lines from Salmon Run are pre-recorded, it's implied that Lil Judd has taken over Grizz Co. Industries... 2) You never got to see it, but SmallFry will actually start singing the Calamari Inkantation if you stand next to the Squid Sisters down in Alterna for a bit! How cute! And 3) The Mr. Grizz statue in the Salmon Run Office changes from a bear holding a fish in his mouth, to a giant fish holding a bear in its mouth!
In case anyone is wondering, it's said in a Splatoon 2 developer magazine interview that it's very likely that the Grizz we talk to on the radio is a pre-recorded message. At least it explains all his repeating dialog.
Tbh I feel bad for Mr. Grizz. Imagine going away for a while (in this case around 12000 years) falling asleep, and waking up to see that everything you know and love is gone. I would want revenge, too. Also even though this will never be an in-game thing, I hope Octavio and Cuttlefish are homies again. And I also hope everyone learned their lesson about conflict between inklings and octolings :/
I mean cuttlefish says post game that he’s surprised that Octavio’s not half-bad so I guess there’s some of that, although it’d be great to see them interact in the DLC
3 things change after beating the story mode, deep cut now remembers you and wil give you a more entouchiastic wave and the grizco statue now features a salmon eating a bear instead of the reverse, but more interestingly ittle jud has a mysterious ear peace And judging from his card deck in table turf he might just have takig over grizco
"That might be the most convoluted way to solve that puzzle" I literally just damaged tanked through the flooders because I didn't realize that smallfry could stun them lmao. You probably did the intended strat.
It is the intented strat. There’s fences for the rolling bomb thingy. And the boxes are there to stop you from just walking across cause you need smallfry for the boxes.
Since we see Octavio's spaceship not having any heat shields which implies means that Earths atmosphere has become less dense. Which means it has less of a drag effect on aircraft/spacecraft. Using this information, its safe to assume that Ark Polaris crashed into Earth with a very high velocity. Meaning, that if there are any Human survivors they must be badly injured.
@@cptnkaladin Oh i seem to have forgotten about that. Look on the bright side of things. The landing module in the map "Ruins of Ark Polaris" seems to have no water damage. It also seems pretty intact implying it was either landed or discoverd. If it was landed they wouldnt need much fuel to resist gravity since there is not much friction with such a thin atmosphere.
One thing I think I will miss after splatoon 3, is probably mr.grizz himself. Idk, he's just so cuddly and polite in that weirdly backhanded polite soulless corporate way. Plus I like that the art team made him a literal giant teddy bear. I just can't find him menacing like that, I want a plush of the guy
I cried at the end cause these games bring me so much joy. It was great to see all these stories come together and I can’t wait for the eventual DLC. BOOYAH to all
I’ve been so excited to see Jay’s reaction to the final boss and After Altera!! The whole end sequence really made this game feel like the last in the series and what a great ending it is
I collected everything before the final level so I read all the scrolls and I got goosebumps when Shiver and Frye mentioned the lights that consumed the great disaster when Lil Buddy was transforming, cause I immediately thought back to the scroll about the great flood that got stopped by the giant lights and was like "IT WAS PROBABLY A SALMONID THAT STOPPED THE DISASTER" It was cool how having that info affected that moment for me and made me glad I got everything this time Also Tartar was made (By the professor before he passed due to the first nuke disaster that wiped out most of humanity) to pass on humanities knowledge to the next sentient species that appeared on Earth, but after seeing Inklings and Octolings go through turf wars and their focus on fashion, decided that they weren't worthy of the knowledge and wanted to get rid of them, taking the best of them and turning them into a weird dna goo to make a new species that he thought would be deserving of what was left of humanities knowledge to them instead Mr Grizz on the other hand, after seeing that sea creatures were now the main species on earth after waking up again, thought that this wasn't right and wanted to make mammals the number 1 species on land again. So he takes the knowledge and crystals from Alterna (Leftover from humans) and using his own fur and golden eggs for production, makes fuzzy ooze to turn everyone into mammals, back to what he believed how Earth was meant to be (Judd was cryogenically frozen and given something that basically made him immortal by the professor, and Lil Judd is a clone that was set to be created after Judd woke up so he wouldn't be lonely, sorrowfully Lil Judd knows he is a clone and hates the original Judd)
i hope the DLC dwells into how Octavio created their machine as after the first confrontation hes gone from the story till the very end, it would be nice to see how he acted after his lost and how he learned that their land was in danger. also, i love he says "OUR" not "MY" to show hes on our side for real for once.
I really hope the dlc has more octavio, he’s still my fave character in the main series and I just want to see more love of him in general!!! also alterna was so interesting and the lore was so much fun to read (and explain to my poor family members who just want to know why theres squid kids 😭😭)
The slowed down Grizzco jungle at the start, warped and blown out to specifically make the sound both too "warm" and giving it a fuzzy sound overlay. The audio engineering at Nintendo know how to make a nerd gal swoon. XD This is just pointing it out for people who didn't notice it too.
After completing Hero Mode, going to Grizzco has something new! The Bear holding a Salmon statue has been replaced with a Salmon holding a Bead statue. Also when playing online, Lil Judd now has a headset/earpiece on at all times. It’s implied that HE took over Grizzco. Also when playing salmon run now it’s still Grizz’s voice. It’s implied that what you’re hearing is either TTS or everything is pre recorded.
Tartar's sanitation is different from Grizz's Fuzzification. Tartar believed the inklings and octolings were too stupid to be even be worth wasting the professor's advice on, advice that was meant to help the next intelligent life not make the same mistakes as humans. Instead, he decided to make his own superior race by blending octolings that passed his tests, the sanitized octolings. Grizz is different. He's trying to use the fuzzy ooze to make the marine-life-based lifeforms into mammals, which is implied by the existence of the fuzzy octarians. Personally, my belief is that it doesn't work out the way Grizz wants it to, and instead we get the "full body beard" that Cuttlefish explains to us. I don't think Grizz was trying to kill all marine life, I think he was just trying to use the Fuzzy Ooze to turn all marine life into mammals, mostly out of isolation. Kind of easy to be sympathetic for him if you ask me. Also, considering that the inklings and octolings are pseudo-immortal (resurrection through ink submersion), this might be the best way to incapacitate an inkling, considering they can phase through objects. Irrelevant, but interesting.
My favorite detail is that when u go back to salmon run the mr grizz statue is replaced by one of hugefry. It’s so cuteeee I love all the little details!!!
been waiting for this, I’ve enjoyed this entire playthrough and I’m excited to see your reaction to the final boss edit: I’m glad I’m not the only one who went insane with that final boss. what a great ending
Hey Jay!! I don’t know if you know this but after you complete the story mode you can see Mr. Grizz’s statue changes from the bear eating the fish to the huge smallfry eating a bear! It’s like when little buddy and him were fighting showing that the good guys won! Cool little Easter egg im not sure many people have noticed, but it’s a nice detail they added. Much love!!
This is great, Jay! I had an amazing time watching this. The story mode was.. wel, amazing. It really warms my heart, thank you too for playing such a huge role in the Splatoon community (along with MANY other content creators)! Hopefully the game and community continues to grow as a whole. Thank you, truly. Thank you everyone for this journey, thank you for helping build this community.
Just finished binging this, this was an insanely fun series and it was great to hear your thoughts on the lore and stuff too!! I was feeling real down before I started watching so thank you!
Yeah, honestly the hero gear upgrades make a HUGE difference. I wanted to beat every level with every weapon, without upgrading any of my gear. And it took hours for me to beat that level with zero upgrades, but as soon as I upgraded everything, I beat it in 15 minutes.
@@babywizard9027 hard disagree, I played with all upgrades and the first and last sections alone took me like an hour combined. I think you're just good at the game lmao
Thank you so much for this playthrough! It genuinely was such a joy to watch. I couldn’t stop smiling while you were getting to the very end. There were so many perfect parts. Also holy you’re a god for finishing the special level that quickly. You didn’t even die during the second part. You were absolutely fighting for your life and won. Looking forward to the DLC playthrough!
50:00 I made the same mistake and had it play in my head. *New Agent 3 thinks about what would happen if the ooze hits Earth, then gets on their game face and defeats Mr. Grizz* I swear I missed the part about flying forward but it was an awesome fight. Loved going out to space.
13:14 It's funny because if I recall correctly trolling is a fishing term, so they didn't even have to do that. Also, feelsbadman when they jossed my Grizz headcanon
Seeing this series. You are one of the few ones who really reminded to change the aspect of the Captain (even use the Male Captain) in all the videos about the story mode is always the Female one because no one knew the drawing of the beginning.
Awesome video. Ever since episode 1, i had been waiting for you to complete it so i can see your reactions to things like mr grizz and dead cuttlefish! :D
For people wondering about cuttlefish, that is just what happens to any inkling when they’re completely dried out, give him a few sodas and he’ll be back to normal
Power eggs contain power. To power the ship. Gold eggs have more power. And Zapfish have ALOT of power... And also Captain Cuttlefish. I MEAN Ex-Captain Cuttlefish lost the crystals that made him become human-like. And since Agent 3's tears had the micro crystals, Craig was ressurrected.
As someone from Florida who has actually been there and been the closest you can be to a rocket before it can go up, I can say that they nailed the slightly queasy, mysterious disbelief.
okay I got to be 110% real with you now that I've almost watched the entire video the fact that you got through so much of this game for the secret final level on your first try honestly mildly upsets me like I know you're way more skilled player than I am but the fact you didn't even struggle at all on the rail level you barely struggled on the parkour level which to be fair I barely struggled on that one but the fact you beat the inkling girl squad without spamming specials like they do by collecting the cans on your second try like gg man
Actually tar tar was created by a human to warn the next intelligent life to not make the same mistakes humanity made but when his days of waiting finally came too an end he grew disgusted at how the inklings and octolings started minor wars over fashion statements (what he didn’t realize was humanity was similar but worse) so he created a new prime directive for himself wipe out all inklings and octolings all life for another new race to become dominant and redo his previous prime directive then
12:03 Nope. You had that gear in the beginning of the episode and in the previous episodes too because 3 of the upgrades can give you 1 part of the old hero gear back.
1:17:21 I did it first try too, I took an hour long break after the first bit I shut up and did it, the surprising part is I hated all the target levels
Just watching the last kettle made my blood pressure skyrocket. If I ever get past the first stage, I’m gonna need to remember to take breaks cause WOOO THATS STRESSFUL
Some tips I learned while playing the secret kettle- to balance on the pillars that move, squid spurge is super helpful for that. Just time your jumps right or just fall off the side It took me like 2 hours of attempting and I finally did it but that was super helpful for me That and inking the platforms that move at high speeds in the water cause the ink doesn’t go away when they go back underwater. Helped me with how fast they were moving lol
Jay this series is so good! I live in Britain so when it's 7:00pm for us I'm eagerly waiting for the next video to come out! I hope you enjoy splatoon 3 as much as I have so far.🐙🦑
When Deep Cut first showed up when I was playing through, I got excited thinking there would be a boss fight against all 3 of them at once, similarly to The 3 Mage Sisters. Maybe in the DLC?

idk if anyone mentioned this already, but I like how when you beat the story mode, Mr. Grizz's statue changes to a bear being eaten by a salmon, very fun detail
A few little details that are left after completing the story!
1) After beating the story mode, Lil Judd now has a new headpiece! This doesn't appear until after you beat the story mode, and since Splatoon 2 implied that all of Mr Grizz's lines from Salmon Run are pre-recorded, it's implied that Lil Judd has taken over Grizz Co. Industries...
2) You never got to see it, but SmallFry will actually start singing the Calamari Inkantation if you stand next to the Squid Sisters down in Alterna for a bit! How cute!
And 3) The Mr. Grizz statue in the Salmon Run Office changes from a bear holding a fish in his mouth, to a giant fish holding a bear in its mouth!
Another detail is that he has a Salmonid themed Tableturf deck.
small fry sang the song even before finishing the story btw
In case anyone is wondering, it's said in a Splatoon 2 developer magazine interview that it's very likely that the Grizz we talk to on the radio is a pre-recorded message. At least it explains all his repeating dialog.
Well the way he talk is like tartar , so it's not suprise that he become the next boss ?
It also explains why you still hear Mr. Grizz in Salmon Run after beating story mode. Mr. Grizz no longer runs Grizzco so Lil Judd does instead.
Then I wonder who is doing the pay raise and cuts 🤔
@@mysryuza Lil' Judd or some automated system probably.
Tbh I feel bad for Mr. Grizz. Imagine going away for a while (in this case around 12000 years) falling asleep, and waking up to see that everything you know and love is gone. I would want revenge, too.
Also even though this will never be an in-game thing, I hope Octavio and Cuttlefish are homies again. And I also hope everyone learned their lesson about conflict between inklings and octolings :/
I mean cuttlefish says post game that he’s surprised that Octavio’s not half-bad so I guess there’s some of that, although it’d be great to see them interact in the DLC
I wonder how mr.grizz survived the flood
Did he hide in the volcano?
@@LycanMOON He was in space.
Yall forgeting something, he was conscious during those 12000 years
Even though I doubt it would happen, that would be amazing. Tbh I just want to see those two ancient artifacts to dab eachother up.
3 things change after beating the story mode, deep cut now remembers you and wil give you a more entouchiastic wave and the grizco statue now features a salmon eating a bear instead of the reverse, but more interestingly ittle jud has a mysterious ear peace
And judging from his card deck in table turf he might just have takig over grizco
It makes sense, one of the last two mammals and he's way more cutthroat than Judd Classic. A worthy sucessor. Plus most cats love fish.
"That might be the most convoluted way to solve that puzzle"
I literally just damaged tanked through the flooders because I didn't realize that smallfry could stun them lmao. You probably did the intended strat.
i stunned the flooder and hopped through the enemy ink LMAO
It is the intented strat. There’s fences for the rolling bomb thingy. And the boxes are there to stop you from just walking across cause you need smallfry for the boxes.
Since we see Octavio's spaceship not having any heat shields which implies means that Earths atmosphere has become less dense. Which means it has less of a drag effect on aircraft/spacecraft. Using this information, its safe to assume that Ark Polaris crashed into Earth with a very high velocity. Meaning, that if there are any Human survivors they must be badly injured.
The last Alerna Log specifically says "Reentry was not kind to its inhabitants-all perished, save one. Bear #03 [...] survived."
@@cptnkaladin Oh i seem to have forgotten about that. Look on the bright side of things. The landing module in the map "Ruins of Ark Polaris" seems to have no water damage. It also seems pretty intact implying it was either landed or discoverd. If it was landed they wouldnt need much fuel to resist gravity since there is not much friction with such a thin atmosphere.
I would want to know their secret to survival if they did live through that
Your laugh at Grizz's last line got me🤣
Oh hey Tomota! Fancy seeing you here
One thing I think I will miss after splatoon 3, is probably mr.grizz himself. Idk, he's just so cuddly and polite in that weirdly backhanded polite soulless corporate way. Plus I like that the art team made him a literal giant teddy bear. I just can't find him menacing like that, I want a plush of the guy
Same
Ahahah so do I. He’s like that giant teddy bear meme, super cute
"Mom says it's my turn with the golden Eggs"
I love his dumbass sm I'm the same
I cried at the end cause these games bring me so much joy. It was great to see all these stories come together and I can’t wait for the eventual DLC. BOOYAH to all
I think it’s so cute and sad how Cuttlefish’s “death” made Agent 3 cry. 🥲
I’ve been so excited to see Jay’s reaction to the final boss and After Altera!! The whole end sequence really made this game feel like the last in the series and what a great ending it is
33:17 omfg, that distressed voice from cap’n cuttlefish gave me chills.
I collected everything before the final level so I read all the scrolls and I got goosebumps when Shiver and Frye mentioned the lights that consumed the great disaster when Lil Buddy was transforming, cause I immediately thought back to the scroll about the great flood that got stopped by the giant lights and was like "IT WAS PROBABLY A SALMONID THAT STOPPED THE DISASTER" It was cool how having that info affected that moment for me and made me glad I got everything this time
Also Tartar was made (By the professor before he passed due to the first nuke disaster that wiped out most of humanity) to pass on humanities knowledge to the next sentient species that appeared on Earth, but after seeing Inklings and Octolings go through turf wars and their focus on fashion, decided that they weren't worthy of the knowledge and wanted to get rid of them, taking the best of them and turning them into a weird dna goo to make a new species that he thought would be deserving of what was left of humanities knowledge to them instead
Mr Grizz on the other hand, after seeing that sea creatures were now the main species on earth after waking up again, thought that this wasn't right and wanted to make mammals the number 1 species on land again. So he takes the knowledge and crystals from Alterna (Leftover from humans) and using his own fur and golden eggs for production, makes fuzzy ooze to turn everyone into mammals, back to what he believed how Earth was meant to be
(Judd was cryogenically frozen and given something that basically made him immortal by the professor, and Lil Judd is a clone that was set to be created after Judd woke up so he wouldn't be lonely, sorrowfully Lil Judd knows he is a clone and hates the original Judd)
4:34 had me dying of laughter Big Man is a legend
i hope the DLC dwells into how Octavio created their machine as after the first confrontation hes gone from the story till the very end, it would be nice to see how he acted after his lost and how he learned that their land was in danger. also, i love he says "OUR" not "MY" to show hes on our side for real for once.
I really hope the dlc has more octavio, he’s still my fave character in the main series and I just want to see more love of him in general!!! also alterna was so interesting and the lore was so much fun to read (and explain to my poor family members who just want to know why theres squid kids 😭😭)
And have 4 and 8. Also if the dlc is a mean while then we might get a third race
@@Gamemaster-64 I think those two won’t be in dlc, especially 8 who just wants to live a normal life after octo expansion
@@agxnt_3 I don’t know about 4 but I think 8 has a good chance of being in the DLC.
came here RUNNING. i really want to see your reaction to the ending lol. enjoyed this series a lot [:
The slowed down Grizzco jungle at the start, warped and blown out to specifically make the sound both too "warm" and giving it a fuzzy sound overlay. The audio engineering at Nintendo know how to make a nerd gal swoon. XD This is just pointing it out for people who didn't notice it too.
mr. grizz's "come here... SO I CAN BREAK YOU" line is actually quite terrifying
Who knew that Jaymoji’s entire album was actually just a prophetic vision about the splatoon 3 story mode
Had to Dash here for the finale, Now it's time to re watch this while playing along
Same
After completing Hero Mode, going to Grizzco has something new! The Bear holding a Salmon statue has been replaced with a Salmon holding a Bead statue. Also when playing online, Lil Judd now has a headset/earpiece on at all times. It’s implied that HE took over Grizzco. Also when playing salmon run now it’s still Grizz’s voice. It’s implied that what you’re hearing is either TTS or everything is pre recorded.
Also if you play Tableturf against Lil Judd he has a Salmon Run themed deck
Tartar's sanitation is different from Grizz's Fuzzification. Tartar believed the inklings and octolings were too stupid to be even be worth wasting the professor's advice on, advice that was meant to help the next intelligent life not make the same mistakes as humans. Instead, he decided to make his own superior race by blending octolings that passed his tests, the sanitized octolings.
Grizz is different. He's trying to use the fuzzy ooze to make the marine-life-based lifeforms into mammals, which is implied by the existence of the fuzzy octarians. Personally, my belief is that it doesn't work out the way Grizz wants it to, and instead we get the "full body beard" that Cuttlefish explains to us. I don't think Grizz was trying to kill all marine life, I think he was just trying to use the Fuzzy Ooze to turn all marine life into mammals, mostly out of isolation. Kind of easy to be sympathetic for him if you ask me.
Also, considering that the inklings and octolings are pseudo-immortal (resurrection through ink submersion), this might be the best way to incapacitate an inkling, considering they can phase through objects. Irrelevant, but interesting.
My favorite detail is that when u go back to salmon run the mr grizz statue is replaced by one of hugefry. It’s so cuteeee I love all the little details!!!
i like how he did after alterna in just one go and did stage 4 like it was the tutorial level of alterna
been waiting for this, I’ve enjoyed this entire playthrough and I’m excited to see your reaction to the final boss
edit: I’m glad I’m not the only one who went insane with that final boss. what a great ending
I had some issues but they were mostly resolved by treating the fight as an endurance battle
Is nobody gonna talk about how Jay completed the second phase of After Alterna on his first attempt?
Took me hours to beat that one!
I can’t beat it😭 Ive tried it so many times but I’m just not good at all of the jumping and stuff
Skill issue
@@bingusbongus3109 beat the phase after second try, I ain’t got no issue
@@bingusbongus3109 lol I mean yea I never said it wasn’t
@@karmesteymusic u said it took you hours to beat it 🤨
Hey Jay!! I don’t know if you know this but after you complete the story mode you can see Mr. Grizz’s statue changes from the bear eating the fish to the huge smallfry eating a bear! It’s like when little buddy and him were fighting showing that the good guys won! Cool little Easter egg im not sure many people have noticed, but it’s a nice detail they added. Much love!!
the difference between grizz and and tartar's plans was grizz tried to bring mammals back, tartar tried to reset all life and start from scratch
14:09 I listened to your album thanks to this video and I LOVE it cant wait to hear more
On the ride part I could hear alpharad saying “worst class am I right?” In my head
This is great, Jay! I had an amazing time watching this. The story mode was.. wel, amazing. It really warms my heart, thank you too for playing such a huge role in the Splatoon community (along with MANY other content creators)! Hopefully the game and community continues to grow as a whole. Thank you, truly. Thank you everyone for this journey, thank you for helping build this community.
I spent hours on after Alterna and Jaymoji just comes over and does it in one sitting, bravo.
Just finished binging this, this was an insanely fun series and it was great to hear your thoughts on the lore and stuff too!! I was feeling real down before I started watching so thank you!
Octo expansion: oh just skip it ye ye
Splaoon 3: SALMON BTCH DO UR DAM JOBBB JUST EAT THE MASSIVE FUZZBALL
I Thought The Secret Level Would Take You ALOT Longer, Great Job, Jay!
Yeah, honestly the hero gear upgrades make a HUGE difference.
I wanted to beat every level with every weapon, without upgrading any of my gear.
And it took hours for me to beat that level with zero upgrades, but as soon as I upgraded everything, I beat it in 15 minutes.
@@babywizard9027 Yeah, It Really Does, I Couldn’t Beat The Secret Level Until I Got Every Single Upgrade 😂
@@babywizard9027 hard disagree, I played with all upgrades and the first and last sections alone took me like an hour combined. I think you're just good at the game lmao
Thank you so much for this playthrough! It genuinely was such a joy to watch. I couldn’t stop smiling while you were getting to the very end. There were so many perfect parts. Also holy you’re a god for finishing the special level that quickly. You didn’t even die during the second part. You were absolutely fighting for your life and won. Looking forward to the DLC playthrough!
Yooo lets go. Ive been sick during this series and i want to thank you for providing entertainment. Youre the best :)
Hope your feeling much better
@@roy43222 thanks man
"space... the final PPBBTBTBTBTBBBBBBT" got me really good im ngl
38:23 is just so unnecessarily raw and i love it
50:00 I made the same mistake and had it play in my head.
*New Agent 3 thinks about what would happen if the ooze hits Earth, then gets on their game face and defeats Mr. Grizz*
I swear I missed the part about flying forward but it was an awesome fight. Loved going out to space.
“He’s protected under my dreads.”
Good job Jay.
For context, the golden eggs were used to make the fuzzy ooze we saw through the game
Love that when you beat the story mode the radio in the grizz station changes to bigbuddy defeating Grizz. Amazing detail!
13:14
It's funny because if I recall correctly trolling is a fishing term, so they didn't even have to do that.
Also, feelsbadman when they jossed my Grizz headcanon
34:16 the mysic sounds like the grizco jingle
Seeing this series. You are one of the few ones who really reminded to change the aspect of the Captain (even use the Male Captain) in all the videos about the story mode is always the Female one because no one knew the drawing of the beginning.
when big man walked up to me the at the end, at first i was like “..do i ride big man?” till nope AIRHORN AIRHORN SPACE TIME
the relative ease in which you completed after alterna is insane to me
The first time I did the boss I didn't know I had to move either, then I got to see that horrendous bad ending. God 😭
Awesome video. Ever since episode 1, i had been waiting for you to complete it so i can see your reactions to things like mr grizz and dead cuttlefish! :D
For people wondering about cuttlefish, that is just what happens to any inkling when they’re completely dried out, give him a few sodas and he’ll be back to normal
Time to spam some tacticooler
Eventually, Mr Grizz stopped thinking.
Power eggs contain power. To power the ship. Gold eggs have more power. And Zapfish have ALOT of power... And also Captain Cuttlefish. I MEAN Ex-Captain Cuttlefish lost the crystals that made him become human-like. And since Agent 3's tears had the micro crystals, Craig was ressurrected.
Yoooo I just realized that the music that plays when small fry transforms is the same music from the final boss in splatoon 1 when you fight octavio
As someone from Florida who has actually been there and been the closest you can be to a rocket before it can go up, I can say that they nailed the slightly queasy, mysterious disbelief.
okay I got to be 110% real with you now that I've almost watched the entire video the fact that you got through so much of this game for the secret final level on your first try honestly mildly upsets me like I know you're way more skilled player than I am but the fact you didn't even struggle at all on the rail level you barely struggled on the parkour level which to be fair I barely struggled on that one but the fact you beat the inkling girl squad without spamming specials like they do by collecting the cans on your second try like gg man
I loved this series, it motivated me to go to school this week knowing that when I get home, I can watch this amazing series. Ty
LET'S GOOOO I COMPLETED THE SECRET LEVEL WHILE LISTENING TO JAY AS BACKGROUND NOISE!!!
So, we aren't gonna talk about how the Captain looked like they went Super Saiyan?
Hey the sort of screaming/bad sounds you hear in between phases when you hear cuttlefish and Grizz talking is the grizzco theme
Actually tar tar was created by a human to warn the next intelligent life to not make the same mistakes humanity made but when his days of waiting finally came too an end he grew disgusted at how the inklings and octolings started minor wars over fashion statements (what he didn’t realize was humanity was similar but worse) so he created a new prime directive for himself wipe out all inklings and octolings all life for another new race to become dominant and redo his previous prime directive then
So tartar became true artificial intelligence cause he can rewrite his own code
12:03 Nope.
You had that gear in the beginning of the episode and in the previous episodes too because 3 of the upgrades can give you 1 part of the old hero gear back.
1:17:21 I did it first try too, I took an hour long break after the first bit I shut up and did it, the surprising part is I hated all the target levels
Just watching the last kettle made my blood pressure skyrocket. If I ever get past the first stage, I’m gonna need to remember to take breaks cause WOOO THATS STRESSFUL
It was so stressful, it took me over an hour 😅
Some tips I learned while playing the secret kettle- to balance on the pillars that move, squid spurge is super helpful for that. Just time your jumps right or just fall off the side It took me like 2 hours of attempting and I finally did it but that was super helpful for me
That and inking the platforms that move at high speeds in the water cause the ink doesn’t go away when they go back underwater. Helped me with how fast they were moving lol
Also I am shook he did most of that level in one go
I failed for like an hour on the first half lol
The others weren’t as bad but oml
Finally the moment we've been waiting for
Jay this series is so good! I live in Britain so when it's 7:00pm for us I'm eagerly waiting for the next video to come out! I hope you enjoy splatoon 3 as much as I have so far.🐙🦑
2:10 anyone notice the captain fucking dying in the background when they first saw this scene? i did! i cracked up!
Cant wait for "A normal Day in Splatoon 3"
I just realize that the music at the start is a really slowed down Grizzco theme. I bet it's the same throughout
Jay is one of the only men about which I can think "so this is X-rank" and _"this_ is X-rank?" in no more than a fraction of a second
After you beat single player, Lil Judd will be seen wearing a headset. That implies that he runs Grizzco now
Very well done Jason Emoticon. You crushed that bonus level
When Deep Cut first showed up when I was playing through, I got excited thinking there would be a boss fight against all 3 of them at once, similarly to The 3 Mage Sisters.
Maybe in the DLC?
loved this series so much I was just as excited as jay through everything omg the story mode was absolutely amazing tbh and like everything just makes so much sense and octavio helping was just so amazing and bigfry omg 😭😭 I love splatoon
the game over for losing to Grizz is genuinely terrifying to see.
3:06 why does it sound like Frye likes to swear, listen for wtf.
No joke it’s in her voice list
