The Splatoon Conspiracy Theory Iceberg Explained

- So a long time ago I made a video covering Sack Squid's Splatoon iceberg around the time I first started my UA-cam Channel. I wanted to briefly go back to doing something I did back in my early days. So, I made this Splatoon Conspiracy Theory iceberg about lore conspiracy's from scratch and this video to break down the iceberg. So here is The Splatoon Conspiracy Theory Iceberg!

Why is it always so hard for most of the splatoon community to understand that agent 8 is named agent 8 because she is subject 10008, but cap’n cuttlefish just named her agent 8 because he thought 10008 is “a beak full”
Plus the whole 8 = Octo. Octopuses have 8 arms, yadda yadda thing.
Yeah, but I do think that she could still be the 8th agent, and pearl and marina could possibly be agents 5 and 6
@@sylent1 Marina and Pearl don’t even know what the Squidbeak Splatoon is
I always thought the “octoling screaming” noises always sounded more like just machinery, like boilers letting off steam and other machines making parts for weapons. The alternative is so grimdark that I can’t help but disagree and just think that it’s the sounds of octarian society, there are houses located directly under most of the boss stages
Blender starts with a VVVVVVVVVVV noise along with a gargle voice
I can’t help to disagree to your disagree
Why are people screaming then
I always thought it was ships fleeing the area.
@@henrycarr8714 yeah, it does sound like clunking at first, if it were only clunking they could be right, but there’s DEFINITELY screams
If Inkopolis is set in Japan, and you can see splatsville from Octo canyon, and the eifle tower is upside-down in the splatlands, this basically confirms that the splatlands are set in Hong Kong. Tianducheng is a resort near Hong Kong that has a fake eifle tower, which would explain the random eifle tower in the splatlands, and why the splatlands can be seen from Octo Canyon.
Also the blatantly obvious fact that Splatsvile’s architecture is exactly like Hong Kong’s.
Yeah, the buildings have way too many air conditioners
@@Eternal-pj8zh ive been to china and hong kong for vacations and the air conditioners.... man.... i just knew it was hong kong inspired. you cant miss the air conditioners. 😭😭
also i would like to add that theres a city in hong kong named kowleen wallled city and its been dubbed "city of anarchy"
with the whole "anarchy" thing in splatoon 3 i think they had kowleen walled city as like, a more specific reference location which i think is neat
@@ramiel6367 Yeah, and a few other things I'd like to note:
>> The planes, whilst they have appeared in both Inkopolis Square and Plaza, fly here a lot lower than usual, almost as if they're close to landing nearby. That perhaps is a nod to the now-closed Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, which was placed as such that planes had to pull a low, swinging right-hand turn into the field on a path that took them right over KWC.
Here's three videos of what I'm talking about:
1. from the ground: ua-cam.com/video/OtnL4KYVtDE/v-deo.html
2. from onboard: ua-cam.com/video/MVb6x8eYCO8/v-deo.html
3. from cockpit view: ua-cam.com/video/CJxbPY9uc5s/v-deo.html
>> This brings me to how the buildings in Splatsville, at least the area we are allowed to explore, seem to be much shorter than buildings in surrounding areas. This mirrors Hong Kong again, because with Kai Tak Airport in the way, and 747s frequenting the field, building codes were established in order to keep the approach path clear into the airport, so many buildings were limited in height. Many were limited to, at most, 6 stories tall, and what do we see in Splatsville? Buildings only as tall as 6 stories.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the extra points I've added.
Oh my god this makes way more sense than having the Splatlands set solely -- if at all -- in Japan!
Another dead giveaway is if you look at the official map, it oddly enough resembles Port Shelter and Tai Poi Hoi quite abit! Not exactly, but if you remember the flood + the fact that that region in Asia sees ALOT earthquakes its incredibly possibly that the land was indeed altered to the extent thst you see in the official map
the picture of callie marie and pearl with the caption “wheres marina?” was actually just a christmas photo where marina was taking the picture. the official splatoon tumblr has the second photo which is a photo from another view of marina taking the picture of callie marie and pearl :)
Oh my goodness MIKUDAYO?!?
The SRL being canon within splatoon has even more proof than what you pointed out! There's the SRL coat from grizzco, and all the grizzco gear (except for the online jersey) seems to be based on company uniforms and work wear in-universe. The biggest nail in the coffin? Look at deca tower. There's a pink billboard with a logo that looks like a globe with text that seems to read "squid" underneath. That's the Squid research lab's logo!
Omg Rassicas I love you and your content, I’m even starting a channel soon called anonymous octoling, and my oc is the narrator!
First of all, the screams were never "confirmed" to be octolings dying, they actually confirmed they had no idea what the sound was and that an unknown dev put it in there. Second, they can't be dying octolings being blended up because you can hear the sounds in octo expansion, and you're the only octoling there.
Honestly I just think the deep sea metro isn't anywhere near the octarian underground, but if those sounds are octolings, then it's probably got something to do with the great octo weapons. If you don't know, the tentacle in the great octo weapons is an octoling gone through some process to make it the way it is. This info is found in one of the sunken scrolls in splatoon 2, though it is a little vague, one of the mem cakes in octo expansion makes it a clearer, even going as far to say that agent 8 themself fears that it could have happened to them.
There are 10.007 applicant's for the deepsea metro before agent 8, not all off them have died, most of them gave up. But some of them found all 4 thangs, but they were blended up before they could reach the promised land. You can hear their screams in the blender scene or you can search up "splatoon 2 blender completed". And yes the devs did say that they didn't even know that the sounds were in the game. I'm just saying that there might've been octolings before agent 8.
Came back to mention that Splatoon in space did eventually happen 💀
Now that splatoon 3 is out he ain’t wrong about space. Kinda.
I’ve never really believed those boss battle sounds were from the octo expansion. I always kinda figured that it was octoling machinery collapsing in on itself, maybe crushing some octos in the process, they do have a whole energy crisis ya know?
The idea that the screams are from the deep-sea-metro is false because they are canonically confirmed to be super far away from each other
Inkopolis is on the coast, Metro underwater, Octo Valley more mainland (behind Inkopolis)
So it's basically about the energy crisis.
Did you forget about the fact that the SRL coat is in the game? Either the SRL is canon or clothing isn’t canon
theory:srl is canon but not the form we know,srl posts aren't but the srl is canon as a scientific corporation making new gear and specials and stuff
I think that marina isn't a war criminal after the inklings realize that octolings are being mind controlled, and don't have any power over their own actions, which is why the the federal bureau of inkling hasn't knocked in her door yet
Ok people, my theory on the sunken scrolls is this:
There are Octoling spies in Inkopolis. A) They have to have scouts to know what they are dealing with, they didn't steal the zapfish without knowing where it was and stuff. B) When you wear the Octoling goggles/glasses, you actually are under Octarian control. C) Octolings easily blend into inklings, as shown by fashion focus.
So what if the Octoling spies wrote down reports on Inkling society and sent them to the Octarian realm whete they ate shipped in the crates they are found in. Also there was a tentakook with one, so Idk maybe tentakooks deliver them or something.
Either way, I'm 90% certain that the Sunken Scrolls werr written by Octarians. What about the final secret scroll? That was DEFINITELY written by Octarians!!
9:07 (the theory tartar is alive)
Actually! In the manga, the end of volume 7 we can see Marina putting him somewhere in Mt. Nantai. Now I forget if he speaks or not but we definitely know he's still alive as he's seen again...
...tho do take that with a grain of salt since the manga is known to be not exactly cannon😅
Finally a iceberg without creepy music
The octoling screams sound like when the train pulls up in the beginning, and when the screaming happens it sounds like the screaming/cheering when the blender is completely built.
You forgot to mention the second half of the mind control theory.
It's thought that regular Octarians are mind controlled through Turquiose October's music (especially in Splat 2 where Callie sings backwards) and that Octolings are the only ones that need glasses.
Note that A) We still haven't seen normal Octarians in Inkopolis (???) and B) some Octarians wear eyewear I'm pretty sure (Octocommander, etc.).
this comment is old af but i'll do anything to protect my bbg from the "he's controlling his people" misconception so, nuh uh!! in splat1 credits you can see male agent 1 wearing the octoleet goggles and next to him there is an octoling without them holding her hand out to him, as if he stole them off of her and she wants them back. if the glasses were indeed similiar to callies, the octoling would've snapped out of the mind control and definitely not want them back, proving that they definitely aren't mind controlled
@@certifiedmonsterfucker Yarr, I've learned all this since then, but thanks a ton for adding the correction to this old comment!
That space theory is really holding up with that spaceship at the end of Splatoon 3 trailer
20:58 I know you probably said it this way for the sake of simplicity, but I wanted to clarify that there are no such things as "less evolved animals", there are animals that just evolved differently. Like, monkeys aren't less evolved than humans, they evolved in different way than us
Well, maybe on the “MK Ultra” theory, it mimics real octopi. Real octopus can rapidly change colors to fit within their environment. I feel as though the Octolings managed to map this process onto technology to create hypnosis shades to hypnotize their people.
Maybe the (possible) moon colony is the squid research lab. Idk I just thought of that

11:25 I hate fr🤢nce so knowing that it's destroyed in splat 3 gives me happiness I cannot describe
Lmao i live in france
While TarTar may be indeed based on the professor’s brain, most people agree he turned to genocide in Octo expansion due to witnessing Inklings and Octolings “Making the same mistakes” that humans did long ago, holding conflicts over “trivial things” and lableing the people of inkopolis as a failure
Couple of things on the Bible references.
A) I'm like 90% certain it's just Revelation (without the s).
B) It's Mad-eye, ai = eye in Japanese and Hebrew as far as I am concerned.
C) It actually sorta reads like Revelation and other Bible prophecy too... That sunken scroll does puzzle me.
We have already seen the Salmonid, so where are these 7 smoke rings?????
Seven smoke rings? Don’t salmoniod fry and cook themselves? The smokeyard? Salmonids cooking themselves every seventy years at salmon smokeyard?

Appreciation is immeasurable.
Many thanks.
@@sherbertshortkake6649 you are so welcome!
@@sherbertshortkake6649 I also can’t believe that someone responds to my comments!
@@Jerry_fromwork Yeah it isn't super common...
I do my best.
With the whole “Splatoon is canon to Splatoon” theory, that would basically make Splatoon the Inklings’ Call of Duty, yeah.
1:42 there are actually two images to that one, Marina is taking the photo
The main singer of Squid Squad is Ikkan.... And we love Ikkan.... Worship Ikkan.....
My headcanon is that Sheldon is Agent 5, and Pearl & Marina are 6 and 7, the professor experimented on animals like Judd (giving him special abilities like powerful eyesight and a "svelte" body as Callie described it once) which must have been discomforting in some way, hence why he apologizes to Judd in the Splatoon 2 sunken scrolls, Mr. Grizz is legitimately a bear and was given abilities like speech via being an animal that the professor experimented on, Tartar is still alive since he said "professor, our reunion beckons" at the end of Octo Expansion, Judd is more powerful than he lets on, and his frequent napping is just a cover, and that in Splatoon 3, "Agent 9" is living in a mad max-type of world by virtue of Team Chaos winning Final Fest.
6:16
But you just said that the only language that could be considered canon is Japanese. ',:r
I want to see a villain team-up between DJ Octavio and Commander Tartar. Octavio would love to sanitize his minions and would also love Tartar's contemporary speech mode, and Tartar would love octarian Society, because it's the opposite of inkling society. Maybe they could turn the NIHLS statue into a giant robot.
This sounds so cool!! I'd love to see this happen but damn in splatoon 3 after the whole team up with DJ OCTAVIO AND THE SQUIDBEAK SPLATOON, i doubt this would happen but seeing your comment literally opens possibilities
im veeery late but, nuh uh tartar hates every single marine organism that has evolved from how he remembers it because they're just super silly and remember, he wanted to sanitize the whole world with zero exceptions (not to mention not every single octarian/ octoling is apart of octavios army, shiver for example is from the splatlands and she grew up in there so shes not nor she ever was apart of the army) + octavio would HATEEEE that idea. when his army got kidnapped by grizz he made a whole ass mech and flew to the crater (approx ~170km) just to try and find them. despite all of the misconception about him brainwashing his people (which he didnt do) he cares about them a lot and would despise tartar for blending their corpses to zombify other troops
The octarians arent actually under mind control! It's more that they're close minded and always taught that inklings were bad, the goggles are used to help them aim better (I think) and the shades have a UI to help!
I know I'm like 7 months late to this video but I remember the dev interview where they talk about Octarian music makes it sound a lot more like it's used to boost their morale and not straight up brainwash them like they did for Callie
On a similar note, I also remember another dev interview where someone said they had no idea the boss room screams were even in the game, so I don't think it's confirmed that they're dying/blended octolings by any means
great video as always:D
question though, if you have a splatoon persona, would you be interested in having sprites? i think those would be really cool and fitting on your videos ^^
Do you draw sprites?
@@rizirone i do yes! :)
@@hao00478 My twitter DMs are open if you wanna talk commissions
22:17 I don't think that "time paradox" is a right word to use here. I guess what you meant is that, Splatoon universe human era was an exact copy of the real world which would mean that in the Splatoon universe, Splatoon video-game series was a prophecy about the future Inkling society. By definition, paradox is a "seemingly absurd or contradictory statement" and there's no such thing here
i think the splatoon game is like a sports game like how we have football becus the inklings play terf war or rainmaker as a game not the actual terf war
What if the moon is the place you'll be at if team order won???
For the all are cuttlefish, Callie & marrie. ok they are cuttlefish. Pearl and marina? No...
while i watched the screeching after bosses i had siren drills on and honestly, it was terrifing
With Tartar being the Professor I highly doubt that that is the case currently.
I can see Nintendo like, uploading the professor's conciousness into Tartar, especially considering how much attention he gets and that they probably don't want a live human in Splatoon.
I imagine he'll have some failsafe where if Tartar fails the command the Professor warns the inklings or something.
Also I wouldn't call Tartar racisy exactly... Psychotic, yes, but he lecture's the Inklings and Octolings about fighting over menial differences between themselves.
In the bossbattle audio clip, near the beginning I could hear train noises, which helps more.
For the space colony theory...
If Splatoon takes place on earth, then it's possible that marking on the moon is something the humans did long ago. If we put a footprint on the moon, then surely we can somehow make another mark as well? If that's not the case, maybe it's some sort of mountain that formed after a really long time.
19:42 I’m pretty sure that there are fish that we have in real life in splatoon and that the fish on land are like people but their are still many fish underwater like the ones that we have today
Tartar talks about the professer in the third person, so I don't think that Tartar is the professer's consciousness
4:23
Then nogami just said fuck the Nintendo direct for 2015 splatoon because INKLINGS HAVE TO BE 14 TO BE THEIR HUMANOID FORM. AND SINCE,THE INKLINGS IN SPLATOON 2 ARE 12,THEY'D BE 2 STAGES DOWN..
The inklings in splatoon 2 are 14. Time passes normally in splatoon. Splatoon 1 inklings are 16 at the start of splatoon 2
@@rizirone ahhhhhh okay
I'm just dumb then
About Splatsville being visible from Octo Canyon. In Suction-Cup Lookout, Marie can be seen looking at the city wondering which city it is.
It's not Inkopolis since in Tentakeel Outpost she recognizes Deca Tower. Thus it could be Splatsville.
It's very obvious now that Save Our Salmons was our first teaser for Splatoon 3, given the plot of story mode. Frankly, I think that if not for Covid, we'd have gotten that first Splatoon 3 trailer during E3 2020 instead of Feb 2021, and the game itself in Fall 2021 or Winter 2022.
"Children recycling" is gonna make me lose it lmao
When it comes to the Splatoon game in the Splatoon universe, I sorta just like to think it’s kinda how we humans have FIFA/NBA, and also that some inklings for one reason or another don’t actually want to participate in the Turf wars just as some humans don’t actually want to participate in soccer or football matches, and that in the universe, they get to play as famous Turf war participants , idk I just think it’s funny
Squids and octupi cannot change their gender my guy. Those are frogs.
Yeah. Male octopi will make themselves appear female to distract competition, but they don't actually change gender.
Maybe the splatoon merch is for another thing called splatoon. Maybe it’s a coincidence. Having a Wii U may just be a coincidence. But HeY! THaTs jUSt A tHEoRy. A GamE ThEORy!
my favorite thing about splatoon lore is guessing which ones are actually important and what's just viddy game nonsense
hey can u make some sorta video about the Splatoon's manga? the manga has lore, but the manga's lore isn't canon to the games lore. its good anyway
"lead singer of squid squad" (vocals are blatantly ikkan's, and not ichiya's)
I'm not totally sure if this is a translation mistake or it's just not included in splatoon, but when you first go to Spike in splatoon 1 he tells you he can remove / renew abilities on youf gear if you trade him shells. He then adds that the eats them and uses the shells to modify your gear.
Rizirone: the games are in the game it’s a prophecy Me: the soundtrack could be music played during the actual turf wars and the games could be a way to tell the story of splatoons world
I think inkfish lay 1-2 big eggs instead of a bunch of small eggs. As a species gets bigger and/or more predatory, they tend to have less offspring at a time because their chances of survival are much higher
Actually Ichiya is the lead singer of Squid Squad and Ikkan the bas player does also some vocals which were heard in the gear trailer
Maybe the professors mind is inside tartar and maybe being alone for thousands of years turned him insane and that’s why he’s so against inklings because he misses humans and just wants them back.
the professor is alive, in the manga he gets into a cryo pod like judd so maybe it washed up somewhere else??
I think they will only inkling and octoling because both of them have Sam e point is that in real life octopus and squid can spread ink
what if it's not the Eiffel tower we saw but tokyo tower, they look kinda similar and it would explain the hydrothermal vents
Fun fact there is another Eiffel Tower in the Gobi desert so the splatlands could be there.
17:46
well, this sure did age.
not sure how its possible but out of everything that couldve happened, this one kinda did.
My first thought was Splatoon 3: Lost in Las Vegas, but someone said there’s ALSO an Eiffel Tower somewhere in China
the octoling-grinding only occurs in the deepsea metro, ued to make primordial ooze used by tartar. as far as i know, we dont actually know anything about the boss battle screams in regular story mode!
Yooooo the switch pro got announced get ready for Rizi to analyze 30 secs of Splatoon 3 gampley in a 10 minute video!!
You know the vibes😎
@@rizirone lol
This is great content keep going!

6-Marina
7-Sheldon?
Hey riz they did a splatoon 3 gameplay scene on the OLED switch
when you beat a boss in Splatoon 1or2, they explode in your color ink and fill the screen, but when you beat tar tar, this doesn't happen, it simply fades to white... meaning his death is never confirmed
something that really irks me is people assuming there should be agents 5/6/7, considering there's no agent 8 (or rather, they're not an agent.) it's just shorthand cuttlefish came up with for test subject 10008.
22:54
Since we never see any in-universe gameplay from their splatoon, there's no way to confirm that it's the same game that we're playing. This could be an entirely different game just with the same name. Because this is a universe of inklings/octos it's very plausible to have inklings/squids on the covers of things in-universe with zero relation to the game that we know and tolerate
If tartar is alive maybe he could be the main antagonist for splatoon 3
You know, ypthat pet squid sounded kinda nice…..
squid research lab is professor: that's my theory
24:41
I mean sure there’s also the whole promotional shirt THAT SAYS SPLATOON but yeah
Time to binge rizirone videos whilst playing acnh
The where’s Marina post is simple. She was just taking the photo!
Perhaps if team order had won we'd have Splatoon 3 in space.
in splatoon 3 werde going to see a splatoon 4 logo in game maybe
I subscribe where's my squid
Marina is gone because she was bored and went to play some Splatoon
If the Eiffel Tower could be thrown upside down do you really think it would still be in Paris?
Transition music?
I think a lot of people forget that agent 8 is a nickname, not the actual agent number so the octoling you play as is probably agent 5 or something
(This could be wrong btw)
I don’t know if that would make Marina a War criminal because she was mind controlled at that time and was forced to make the flooders for the Octo Army, it would make Octavio a war criminal since he’s the boss of all Octos, not Marina.
Maybe Splatoon 3 's dlc would answer to why Marina vanished
When I watched this, it was blurry so when I looked at Maria's name in the beginning, I thought it said Mario lol
So splatoon is a prophecy? Cool
Splatoon lore is fucking dark dude
Boom. 1000th Like lol
I really enjoyed the video btw
actually agent 4 would be younger than 3 lmao, the player characters seem to always be 14 when you play them, but theres a 2 year time skip between splatoon 1 and 2 lol
11:18 theres a photo of callie and marie with the effiel tower un the background (upright)
Bruh why are the octoling screams so disturbing?
WHERE IN OCTO CANYON IS THAT AND DOES MARIE ACTUALLY SAY THAT?!
The reason that the Eiffel tower is there is because there is a second of a clip in the story splatoon 3 trailer which shows an inkling holding onto a tree while the area around it is flooding.
I think agent 5 is Sheldon and agent 6 and 7 is pearl and marina
i hope the antagonist wont be octavio again.
Things not in the Japanese version are still canonical. For instance, Pearl has referred to the European gherkin splatfest in Japanese material.
SRL is canon because their labcoat is in the game as gear
