The swear word hidden within Splatoon
Вставка

- Splatoon is one of Nintendo's most popular series - it's family-friendly, colourful and fun! Except, HIDDEN within Splatoon 2 is a secret swear word! One of the game's developers hid this secret profanity inside the game, and for years nobody noticed it. But 5 years later, this secret was discovered. Let's talk about the swear word hidden within Splatoon!
- Rassicas’ excellent Splatoon language video!

* IMPORTANT!!! *
If you didn't see, I put out a survey of the best and worst SONIC games last week!
SURVEY HERE: forms.gle/Dur7tpK4xEFTxQJM7
So far the poll has about 800 responses, it would be great if we could get it up to 1000!
(You might remember I already did a Sonic poll, but before I could make the actual video a new Sonic game came out, so I decided to re-do the poll!)
Thanks,
- Thomas
this will be awesome
I'd love to participate, but I don't think my input would be of use considering I've played about 2 sonic the hedgehog games.
Can you upload video of Kirby voice actors please?
XD
I started and I don’t know sonic cd and shadows
honestly it's more suprising hearing you say it than it being in splatoon
It's also common knowledge among hardcore Splatoon fans that a character even swears in the game.
Exactly
@@Vyz3r "What the f***?" -frye
Oh and theres that one popular octo expansion song kinda sus
Edit: you prob were talking about pearl, just realized
EXACTLY
when did he say it
It's kinda insane how big this discovery got, it's so funny to imagine what the designer at Nintendo would think about this if they saw this online lol
I also like how this is now our legacy as Splatoon Lore and script nerds
Ah hey Ardnin thanks for checking out the video!! Your and Rassicas' work on deciphering Splatoon's various scripts is really incredible!
i love ur channel lol
@@ThomasGameDocswas that video of yours of Mario’s voice coming from a stuttering comedian a true story that happened with Charles Martinet? Was Charles hiding that secret for real?
I wonder how the dev that snuck that in felt when this got uncovered to the public
i wonder too...
imagine if this was a coincedence
Probably a lot better than the editors and higher ups that it got past haha
Pride and fear, simultaneously
@@canalso5806Given the concept art version clearly mentions it translating to "you suck", I doubt this change was coincidental.
The feeling of finding the word "fuck" in a beloved nintendo game is a high I'll be chasing for the rest of my life
Thanks for reaching out to me for this video! May the knowledge of Jelfonzo's Tuesday shirt spread ever further.
You'll probably never see this but when i recently watched your splatoon iceberg vid it made love the game sm more as a newbie
New Side Order theory for you to research: Pearl says fuck.
Who asked
@@volt42renever asked
You know what this video needs, a live reaction from Frye who has a voice sample that is pretty much her going "What ze fuck?!"
🤣🤣
And Frye’s VA also knows English. lol
EXACTLY what I was thinking
It weirdly fits her character to impulsively drop an F bomb on a live recording. Like Idk we should let her say it
I think it is, cuz there is a voice filter that makes you sound like an inkling. Maybe it actually was "what zeh f*ck" But they slapped on the filter and maxed out the filter
Funny thing: The discovery happened mere hours before Splatoon 3’s release date was revealed
They tried to distract us…
i love that "jelfonzo fuck you shirt tuesdays" are just a thing the splatoon community has embraced
Honestly makes sense for the Splatoon world’s punk culture
I knew ‘booyah’ was more than it seemed
Booyah you
Go booyah yourself
Pearl screaming booyah at tartar makes more sense
Bys
Booyah bomb ???
Meanwhile pearl has an old screemo music track where some part was bleeped out, implying she canonically swore.
mochasumi in the chat at 8:21 is me! Watching this unfold in real time was insane. Honestly kind of surprised they didn’t rush an update to remove it or something, as that feels like something nintendo would do. Great video that breaks it down nicely for those who aren’t as deep into the lore!
Nice!
That is so cooooooooooooooool
and they even kept it in splat3 lol such legends
As a splatoon fan,it was a wild time when this discovery was made
It's now kind of the communities little fun fact whenever someone joins
Pearl also swears, so there's that.
I remember when it was discovered and freaking out LMAO
Pearl literally has a song in Octo Expansion called “F******* dudes be f******* sleeping”
Splatoon has perhaps my favorite in-universe fashion sense of any canon. This just serves to cement that.
I hope we get this shirt somehow in 3, even if the text’s changed or removed. It just looks nice and its reputation alone precedes it.
The thing this video taught me the most is why there is a profanity toggle on the Inkipedia.
I was told it was all gibberish! I wonder what else is hidden around the games
Well, it isn't particularly hidden, but Pearl has a song called Fuckin Dudes Be Fuckin Sleepin. The title is censored in-game, though lol
Also, in the Japanese lyrics of Big Betrayal, when confronting Big Man about his collaboration with the Squid Sisters, Frye says, "You think we're gonna believe that shit?!"
There's also a lot of memes and speculation around Nasty Majesty being about pussy and Shark Bytes being at least in part about Marina witnessing people get killed in cold blood, or being made to do it herself by other members of Octarian society.
This is the T-shirt Nintendo employees wear whenever they update their competitive tournaments guidelines.
"There's profanity in Splatoon"
Me, who knows way too much about the series: "Jelfonzo's shirt, isn't it?"
Considering his niche fashionista personality, I took it as the character ironically wearing those shirts sold in foreign languages to people for aesthetics that have hidden messages.
Like when you see Westerners with tattoos in South Asian scripts they don't actually know for fashion, or shirts in Japan with confusing or inappropriate phrases printed in English for fashion. Except Jelfonzo knows what it says and finds it funny.
Tldr; Jellyfish in Splatoon are probably very fluent in memes
It's kinda wild seeing the shirt design I made (as in, the vector trace of the shirt from the game that cowfish13 used for their shirt) show up in a Thomas Game Docs video.
Frye saying "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?"
(Lowkey true why does she lose so much. She has like no chance.)
she says that so many times lol
"JELFONZO WOULD NEVER SAY THAT!!"
"that's why it's on a shirt"
I always knew something is up with Inkling Boy when he says "Ngyes"
lol😂
Inkling Boy has the pass though, so he's ok
In the Splatoon universe, you can switch between races, so he should be fine
I did not expect a Splatoon Thomas Game Docs video today, but I’m loving it. Amazing content, I’ve been watching you for a while now!
I wonder what PEGI or the ESRB would have to say about this... 🤔
"online interactions not rated by the ESRB."
I guess PEGI might not care about unreadable text. But ESRB is very picky about content that doesn't even get used, so they might care.
@@metayoshi1712 That sentence means "things players do, make or say is beyond what ESRB can rate". But local content actually part of the game (even if you need internet to access it) will still be rated. Jelfonso is rated by ESRB.
Otherwise all online-only games would be rated E for "doesn't contain any content that isn't online interactions".
If the ESRB actually cared, it'd be the Hot Coffee incident all over again...
I already knew this story and yet there were details I didn't know, like the guy wearing it in a tournament, this was very in depth and great to let people outside the fandom get to know about it!
I mean to be fair, Nintendo allows several crossovers with Sonic despite that the Sonic cast are not above swearing.
Yes there are Shadow and Knuckles, but even Eggman and Sonic himself have used profanity.
i saw this a couple years back on rassicas's channel, great to see this being mentioned again
Love how you implemented the videos topic into your intro by encoding the channel name in spatoon characters. Idk why but I really appreciate details like this.
I haven’t been involved in the Splatoon community for awhile, can’t believe I missed this storyline
Update!
Side Order spoiler here as well,
Completing Side Order's campaign for the first time unlocks Inkopolis Square, Jelfonzo remaining with his store. And the shirt remains, just on a different day now. (i dont remember what day it was)
"I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline" got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice. The swear word episodes you do are some of my favorite. My gf speaks Spanish and when you did the video on the swear words in the Spanish localized games she gasps. She couldn't believe those words got in there by accident.
2:56 Don’t forget about Frye’s “WYF?”
As Frye would say: WHAT ZE FU-
4:19 "I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline"
i think my favorite example of spoken splatoon words sounding like english is pearl saying "hello" at the switzerland live concert at the start of color pulse. like it's not even from the games but it's such a cute little detail that she says hello at the only concert that was in English.
Theres more swear words hidden in splatoon like in octo expansion, in on of the audio chat logs pearl gets censored a ton and fry literally says what the fuck which is funny even if it doesn't mean that.
Either way its crazy to see something go from a large community meme to now people who barly play this game are gonna know now. This game has a ton or lore and it feels like most people who know of splatoon dont know that and see it as a childish braindead shooter when like its not and has a ton of complexity to the game and lore.
"i would like to sleep but i am working on a deadline"
i might be too used to the Alterna font
4:19 It says, "I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline" 😂
I have a baaaaad feeling someone got quietly fired over this
Fun-fact: In Splatoon 3, Frye has a chance to say something in gibberish that sounds like "what the fuck?"
I like the idea that it was intentionally placed there knowing that people would eventually decode it, and It's Nintendo explicitly saying "f*ck you" directly to those people overanalyzing their games!
Thomas: *Does this t shirt*
Me: does a jelfonzo doing middle finger and he’s t shirt saying “Fuck you” 💀
Oh this is so easy to understand lol 4:20 “I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline”.
I was one of the first people to make a physical version of the shirt using squidhominid’s vector, the post I made about it attracted tons of scam bots with fake listings for the shirt, it was wild lol
Given it's a Nintendo game, this is super hilarious.
truee, they were known to have only made kid friendly games in the past. Now they have splatoon as a new IP along with having the bayonetta franchise exclusive to nintendo systems since the Wii U was made.
lets not forget that jelonzo t-shirt also fuck you tuesdays and “fuck you tuesdays” as well 😭😭
This moment really unfolded last Easter. I was about to road trip back home from the coast, and decided to check what’s the buzz on Twitter (back when Twitter meant something). And this was when I saw the birth of the Tuesday Jelonzo’s t-shirt. Need I say, you had to be there to see it unfold! The Easter gift that keeps on giving!
4:20 I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline?
wait I already know this, I think I have a splatoon addiction
Oh that one you wrote is surprisingly readable. "i would like to sleep but i am editing in a deadline" very nice
jelfonzo does seem like he'd wear an offensive t shirt without knowning the meaning
There I am gary, there I am ! 8:25
Still remember this day actual comedy lmaoooo, I'll never forget the day
Great video!
without even watching the video yet, is it fuck you tuesday
IT WAS FUCK YOU TUESDAY LETS GOOOO
I love it when jelfonzo says f you to me WHERE IS HIS IP ADDRESS
4:20 "I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline" 😭😭😭😔
Fun Fact:
The 3rd bathroom is for team bigman
I love how long it took you to make a video about it. Like a year plus.
Did you know in Splatoon 2 there was a song of pearl absolutely singing totally fire tunes that don’t burn my ears to hell while swearing with it being obviously censored…
the shirt is in splatoon 3 now
funny as it is, i always would look at splatoon billboards or even just the "words" themselves and i would always imagine every single word to be a sexual word, or a swear word, i thought it was funny, never thought it was real tho
This is so cool, thank you for the video and especially all the translations!
Couldn't Rasika have just changed the Switch's internal clock to be on a Tuesday?
*Only the diehard splatoon fans* would be aware about this info, anyone casually playing the game wouldn't have known that *(it must be a secret).* I honestly don't mind this, since *I wouldn't go this far* to translate the text of someone's outfit.🤣
Can't believe Nintendo kept it even in Splatoon 3 lol.
4:18 "I would like to sleep but I am editing on a deadline" I think your editors are trying to tell you something
HAHA! I LOVE SEEING SPLATOON LORE BEING EXPLAINED BY A UA-camR I ENJOY VERY MUCH THAT ISN'T EXCLUSIVELY A SPLATOON CHANNEL!!!!
4:20 I hope you got that well deserved sleep after the deadline
That's hilarious. Props to whoever snuck that one in
I remember watching this unfold on twitter it was hilarious!! This video was great it fed my splatoon lore loving brain lol
If they saw the tweet
Nintendo: *_screams inside_*
The genderless bathroom makes sense... I don't think jellyfish have a sex or a gender lol
no but there are more species than the jellyfish. such as... inklings and octolings...
@@sillyman2 The inkling and octollings have genders given the character select so probably the one in the middle is for the species that don't like what the original commenter said
@@Mario497 welp splatoon 3 has been pretty ' ' genderless' ', theres no gender select at all bc u can use any hairstyle, u can wear whatever u want, the gear have both equipable women and men style, there's a lot of things showing that splatoon 3 is way way way more inclusive than other games and it isn't forced or done in a wrong way
@@kayleuwu2238 There are genders in Splatoon 3, the first option allows you to select genders for 2 of the playable species in the game. Hence the 2 options for the 2 species. The hair style not being non-exclusive doesn't mean there are not genders, it just makes customising your character easier with more options and flexibility.
With hylian text it kinda looks like English, with this I think they just gave each character the letter they wanted too to make a swear word, and try to cancel Nintendo…
Happy to see another great video :)
7:00 this song is really interesting, and actually tells us about the process of how they make the game and interviews with the creators
This basically shows various concept artwork and rejected designs such as weapon designs, and character designs before the game launch
I love Splatoon even more now
It's so weird seeing a calendar not starting on Monday, and marking the third day (Wednesday) and calling it Tuesday. Cultural differences.
“WHAT THE F**K!?!?” -Fry
FINALLY ANOTHER SPLATOON VIDEO BY THOMAS
THIS NEED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN THIS IS ONLY THE FOURTH-
Nintendo we found your secret
4:20 "i would like to sleep but i am working on a deadline"
Honestly, a shirt litterally just saying "Fuck you" on it is the exact sorta thing you would expect to see at hot topic so if Jelfonzo's shop is equivalent to Hot topic, i can completely believe this.
Bro took a 10 second “fun fact” and stretched it into a 13 minute video
leave him alone, he's probably starving and needs engagement to keep himself afloat
@@Barveth she
Sometimes when saying this way, it sometimes sounds like they're saying "this way" or in salmon run, when crying out for help they sometimes scream what sounds like "help me!"
I'm not usually a betting man.
But I'll bet on this one.
I'm 1:03 in and, if this video is about the hidden swear word on Jelfonso's shirt in Splatoon 2, I'm cutting of my right leg.
Did you survive?
@@past3lgh0st Yeah. I wasnt actually gonna do it.
But it is about Jelfonsos shirt, so my bet was somewhat right.
The gender neutral bathroom is cool and make sense since plenty of the species in Splatoon are asexual like the jellyfish who are everywhere
I am here to update everyone that since Inkopolis Square was added to Splatoon 3, Jelfonzo F-You T-shirt Tuesday has been moved to Saturday, but it continues.
Thank you Nintendo for at least letting us have this 😂
Has someone made any of the Splatoon scripts into actual fonts available to the public? I would love that!
anyone else who watches rasaicas read the title and instantly know what it was about lmao?
Awesome video!
If i had a nickel every time there's a cuss word in a kid-friendly game franchise, I would have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice, right?
I swear every game franchise has a swear somewhere in it
I feel like the bubble script would be, like the jellies written language and the first language deciphered would be inkling or octoling or smthn
"I would like to sleep but i am working on a deadline" is pretty clear at just a glance. Looks like the word, even if the letters themselves dont look like the letters. Hard to explain!
I’m remember when I was a kid and I decoded a few words in the original splatoon and people said I was making it up and that I was stupid but that was in 2016 I think I may have been one of the first decoders’s of course they were words that looks a lot like English like the Nintendo in the squid jump arcade game
Yeah, for me it was the splatfest shirts that made it obvious. Just back then we didn't have as many text samples to help decode
I always thought that when inklings activated ink armor, it sounded like they were saying "Ink armor!" Don't know if that was intended
Thomases voice and editing is underrated...
i love your videos!
Honestly, I want there to be MORE swears in Splatoon. It's one of my top 3 favorite Nintendo franchises, and I feel like swearing kind of fits in with the punk vibes of the world.
