I think when it comes to water it only kills inklings/octolings if their like entire body is fully submerged in it, so like a shower wouldn’t kill em but like maybe taking a bath in a bathtub would idk
a personal hc of mine is that it has to be a BIG body of water, to get splatted, depending on your species 😭 so baths or showers or drinking is fine and pools even, but things like the sea would probably splat most inkfish !!
do cephalopods even sweat anyways? they would still get stinky eventually but i dont think they’d need to shower as often 😭 unless its mentioned in some random line in a news segment that they do. it probably is isnt it
I’ve been told that inklings/octolings can touch water, but not huge bodies of water?? I’m not sure if that’s true but if it is, then it’s safe to say they can probably take showers. (Idk how Agent 3 is holding up though..)
How the hair works is kinda just simply answered based on the fact that they can transform? Like, they do it all the time, switching between humanoid and squid form. They literally are able to completely change their forms, so just slightly changing their hairstyles isn't really a problem. That's why they're also able to change their hairstyle, eye color, and skin color whenever they want. The real problem is for some of the hairstyles like pigtails, bowl cut, or other ones like that. The older hairstyles were cool because they were just the limbs styled into hairstyles. But then you have all the hairstyles where they're just straight up cut across/through a tentacle? Completely mangled limbs? Burnt/fried limbs? These ones that suck that go against that design philosophy.
I think I have a theory about why inks/octs can't swim. I think that there is a rule that swimming on water is not allowed in battles. You can swim or drink water outside of battles, but you can't in battles. Maybe inks/octs are coated with something that dissolves with water from spawning machines, in case if they are cheating.
Here is my question: Do inklings and octolings go to school? I know there are stages like Inkblot Art Academy, but you just see jellyfish. However, Marina said she graduated from there and someone she knows goes there and makes all her big zipper tops. I am just so confused.
They do go to school, Go to my video called “Where is Agent 4 in splatoon 3?” It shows that inklings and octolings go to school but it’s a choice and they don’t take it seriously.
The hairstyles being made of the remaining 4 or 6 tentacles has already been explained in the comments but the water thing was partially explained in a dev interview a few years back. Basically, inkfish have really thin skin that both allows them to shapeshift and means they absorb water really easily. That's why standing in water dissolves them. Marie does mention in Splatoon 2 that there's definitely some way of inkfish taking like a shower or something (shower's definitely the safest option because it's not submerging you, and they do struggle for a bit when they fall in water so there's some resistance to it) but otherwise we're not sure how it works. Guess we need a slice of life game
1. Splatoon battles are loud, but skilled players can even pick up on enemies using ninja squid. 2. Inklings have 10 limbs, so they have 6 tentacles for hair, and octolings have 8 limbs, so they have 4 tentacles/arms for hair. 3. They need to be submerged in water around the waistline. Don't believe me? Try it out in Salmon Run. Plus, Agent 3 sheds a tear when Cuttlefish becomes dehydrated by Mr. Grizz, showing that they can produce other fluids besides ink, like water. So, yeah, they can probably take showers just fine, but baths... no?
1: I meant lore wise (even though it kinda makes sense.) 2: do they gain limbs when they grow up? (The inkling girl default hairstyle is the hairstyle they grow up with, also the Afro has no tentacles so that is kinda contradicting.) 3: showers, but no baths. Makes sense.
@VectoB I thought the afro was heat treated to 'melt' the tentacles together. For other tentacles, I think its because their hair is mostly ink. Also, the two tentacles are 6 total because 2 are in the front while 4 are in the back. I don't know why the soldier octolings have such big hair, but maybe heat causes the hair to expand? Or they're wearing wigs, lol.
Going through every piece of dialogue/lore through the series, the issue with water is obviously made a bit harder to understand based on Splatoon lore being very flip-floppy where it changes on a dime and they sometimes try to explain something that's just a gameplay mechanic, but from all the in-game dialogue and everything, the deal with water seems to be that it doesn't kill Cephalopods, but Cephalopods are completely incapable of swimming in water.
Ik one consistency with (almost) all of the hair is the tentacles!! Iirc, all of the inkling hairstyles have 6 tentacles, and all of the octolings have 4. Sometimes they’re just rly small, like how the default inkling hairstyles have the 4 lil swooshes in the back. Side note: Ik some styles have played around with straight up cutting the tentacles, and ik there’s some in the artbook where inklings fry their hair. Nothin much to add to that I just think it’s neat As for the water, my personal hc is that they have to be fully submerged to disintegrate. Tho honestly they might not need to shower as much if their bodies keep reforming at the respawn pads lol
my idea for the showers thing is that fresh water doesnt affect them its only if theyre in a body of water theyll sink bc ink is probably denser than water but salt water will dissolve them or something it may not make complete sense but it makes sense to me 😭
inkling hair = 6 tentacles (always count the smaller parts of the hair) octoling hair = 4 tentacles (i dont know how the afro is put together don't ask me)
Probably similar to Salmon/Salmonoids, they (manta) mutated, from the nukes + crystals, into also developing a form of "ink". It's probably not the same as Inklings and Octolings, but Big Man is not the only non-cephalopod creature to be confirmed to have a form of ink/participate in ink sports.
@@BK2410 From a game standpoint: It's harder to fight a boss that's immune to your only way of attack without it being justified as the final boss fight. It doesn't really make sense but it's probably not INK. It's probably a substance similar to ink. (Like the Salmonoids, Sanitized ink, or Mr. Grizz's 'ink') ..I don't think its exactly explained, but for the gameplay itself its probably just to make it a more fair fight. (It's also a reference to super mario sunshine!)
Also, whether or not Inklings and Octolings truly need any hygiene is questionable, since the agent 3 hygiene line is only in the English version and not in the original Japanese text if I recall correctly.
Need as in, while I don't doubt that maybe they picked up human hygiene habits like bathing regularly, there is a possibility that they usually do not necessarily need to. Though, I can imagine Salmon run shifts don't exactly make you smell pleasant...
I WISH WE GOT MORE OCTO HAIRS AND LIKE AN OPTION TO MAKE THE HAIR FROM OFFICIAL ART 8 (the down octo hair i dont remember what its called) LIKE THE ENEMY OCTOLINGS, also BRING BACK THE DAMN BALLER splatoon 4 better be better bc WE NEED COLORED FINGERTIPS AND MORE CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS. idek ab the bathing part bc we all know that marie has said that 3's hygiene is ass so i wonder how the acc shower is it like ink mixed w water but barely any? idk
@@VectoB fr like they allergic to everything man bc how else r they gonna take showers if we've seen in turf/ranked or wtv that the ink sticks.. also yeah man like that third new octo hair scary asf LMAO nintendo better come up with some answers
@@darkspine6710 ehh not really, (imo) bc we've seen in s/o how eights fingertips look, which were colored and shes a normal octoling/an octoling we can dress as so it wouldnt look TOO weird but like i said js my opinion lol, i figured it would be a nice touch to add for anyone who does want it
But then Marie would say that 3’s hygiene is TRASH! Plus there were some Cephalopods seen in swim suits. I don’t know. 🤷🏾 They do shower in the manga though so I hope that helps

To that I will retort with the inkstorm.

Callie and Marie have modeled swimwear before. Why tf did they even do that when the water kills them?
I don’t even know 😭🙏🏾
how do yall not know that they can be in water 😭😭😭 its proven in marina dev diary so i guess saltwater hurts not freshwater
@@kyuki1806 This was for Mahi Mahi Resort tho, which is salt water
In the splatoon comics it says they can go in water but just not swim
But at the same time idk how canon the comics are
The comics are probably something from a different timeline…idk?
I’ve been told that inklings/octolings can touch water, but not huge bodies of water?? I’m not sure if that’s true but if it is, then it’s safe to say they can probably take showers. (Idk how Agent 3 is holding up though..)
A shower (when you rinse yourself) covers your entire body with water. So I don’t know 🤷🏾

0:50 Echolocation was even used as a special in Splatoon 1, so that makes a lot of sense.
Wait really?
I didn’t really play splatoon 1, I just thought that inklings and octolings use echolocation while they swim.
@ Yeah, echolocator. It just tracked the entire enemy team.
1:27 first degree this is my favorite hair 🫠

*im pretty sure they only die when neck deep in water if that helps
My headcanon for the water thing is there's a mechanism in the ink tanks that prevents cheating by swimming in water to get around a map.
I discovered your channel last night and subscribed, but this channel is perfection
thank you! ❤

You already know 🗿
Dropping a comment, somebody remind me to come back to this sometime.
they could probably take showers since on one of the big run stages you spawn waist height in the water👍
Waist height is crazy, Mr. Grizz really be taking advantage of these Gullible ass Cephalopods 💀
Why Big Man swim in ink and he's literally a manta??
Probably similar to Salmon/Salmonoids, they (manta) mutated, from the nukes + crystals, into also developing a form of "ink". It's probably not the same as Inklings and Octolings, but Big Man is not the only non-cephalopod creature to be confirmed to have a form of ink/participate in ink sports.
@guyfriendirl why though.
It makes sense for the inklings and octolings but not for big man imo
