I was originally gonna talk about the splatoon lore, but it would’ve made this video too long. Y’all don’t expect me to dub every single detail of the single player right? 💀
Nah but Cuttlefish in Octo Expansion going, "I don't see race," after he's been sending teenage blenders to absolutely unmake Octarian society is some wild shit
Splatoon is a deeply political game which canonically takes place after World War Five. A write-up by yours truly (This is all canon lore from the games, Miiverse interviews with developers, as well as Japan-exclusive manga magazines and manga strips form video game magazines): Some time in the future, after many civil wars and five world wars, someone launched a nuclear warhead at the south pole. This melted all ice, flooding the entire world and killing almost all humans. The remaining ones were scientists and lucky ones, who found refuge in a large volcano crater, which they called 'Alterna'. There, they built research facilities to hopefully figure out how to live on earth again. Due to the world being flooded, they conducted a lot of research on ocean creatures, especially squids and octopi. They found that the ink of squids and octopi could be crystalized, and when it was, it had telepathic properties, being able to read and store the desires and dreams of people. At some point, the people of Alterna built spacecraft to research space colonization, launching an automated ship, the Polaris Ark, to the edge of the Sol system, with gene-manipulated animals on board for research purposes. Finally, they figured out how to see the sky again, trying to escape in a rocket of their own. During the launch, a chain reaction with the ink crystals occurred, destroying it, the Alterna facilities and killing all humans. In the process, squids and octopi that had been kept in laboratories were freed and were exposed to the crystals. They caused rapid genetic mutation, with them evolving at absurd speeds. Later, the oceans receded, allowing access to land again. The squids and octopi rapidly evolved to land-based creatures and took no time to become people with an advanced society and build cities out of the ruins of human civilization, calling themselves 'Inklings' and 'Octarians'. In an ancient ruin, some Inkling researcher tripped over a power cord, deactivating a machine that turned out to be a cryogenic pod. In it was a cat, which had been kept frozen by its former owner, a human scientist, who had hoped for his beloved cat to have a world to live in, if he couldn't. Later, another pod with a clone of Judd the Cat was also discovered. Decades before the events of Splatoon 1, the oceans began rising again. The Inklings and Octarians, now land-based creatures, ran out of territory and fought over liveable space in the Great Turf War. Captain Cuttlefish, Judd the Cat and the grandfather of Arty Shellendorfer fought in the war in the 'Squidbeak Splatoon'. During the war, the Octarians turned into a dictatorship under the charismatic DJ Octavio, who invested in weapons research and the training of elite soldiers. One of those soldiers was a brilliant young girl called Marina Ida, who rose through the training at Slimeskin Garrison like a rocket, becoming a valuable combat engineer who designed the horrific Great Octoweapons. The Inklings won the war, banishing the Octarians to underground facilities illuminated by artificial skies on monitors, and claiming a power source, the Great Zapfish, for their city of Inkopolis. Upset, DJ Octavio turned to scheming, at some point stealing the Great Zapfish. To retrieve it, Captain Cuttlefish recruited a young Inkling, Agent 3, into the Squidbeak Splatoon, in which his nieces Callie and Marie, the 'Squid Sisters', were Agents 1 and 2. Agent 3 beat Octavio and reclaimed the Great Zapfish. At that time, Marina Ida had risen to Octavio's Wasabi Supply Unit at age 16, and went MIA that same year. She, like many other Octarians, had heard the Calamari Inkantation performed by the Squid Sisters during Agent 3's battle with Octavio, and it changed her, making her no longer believe Octavio's propaganda. Terrified and feeling guilty for the things she'd done, especially the Great Octoweapons, she fled. At some point, she arrived at a mountain, where she met Pearl Houzuki, an Inkling woman who had been building a musical career for years. As a child, she'd competed in the first annual Inkopolis song contest, but came in second after Squid Sisters Callie and Marie when her metal screams blew out the speakers. While incapable of the Octarian language, Pearl bonded with Marina over a demo of a song she'd composed, and they quickly became friends. Pearl taught Marina the Inkling language and they formed a band, ‘Off the Hook’, finding wide success and love for each other. At that time, on the edge of the Sol system, the Polaris Ark was hit by debris, destroying its computer and killing all animals on board, except Bear 03, who had been manipulated to have sapience and extreme intelligence. He managed to fly the Polaris Ark back to Earth, where he was enraged to see that no more mammals existed. He arrived in Alterna, and found old human research in the ruins, and continued it. He found that, by adding his own fur and golden Salmonid eggs, the ink crystals could be used to gruesomely mutate any creature into a mammal. Naming himself Mr. Grizz, he founded the company GrizzCo to undermine Inkling society, in order to get them to attack Salmonids during their mating ritual, the Salmon Run, and steal their golden eggs for cheap payment, which he would later use to turn all Inklings and Octarians into mammals. A bit later, underneath Inkopolis, after a battle with Agent 3, an amnesiac Octarian awoke in an old facility called the Deep Sea Metro. Met with Captain Cuttlefish, who had been abducted there and who proposed a truce in order to escape, the Octarian found an old telephone which sprung to life. It called them 'Subject 10008', which Captain Cuttlefish shorted to Agent 8, and told them about how they needed to gather five "things", in order to build an elevator that would take them to "the promised land". It turned out that this elevator was actually a blender, and the telephone was Commander Tartar, an insane AI, made by the same human researcher who had cryogenically frozen Judd. Underground, Tartar had lured Octarians into his facility and either 'sanitized' them, which stripped them of their free will, or killed and ground them into tartar sauce. Tartar's plan was to use the tartar sauce to destroy Inkopolis by shooting it from a cannon, which he'd built into an old statue of a human, as he despised Inkling society for supposedly having taken the land which belongs to humans. Agent 3 had tried to stop this, but had encountered Agent 8, and in their ensuing battle, had gotten lost in the facility, while Agent 8 had fallen unconscious and lost their memory. Agent 8, Captain Cuttlefish and Off the Hook stopped Tartar and destroyed the cannon and statue. In seeing Agent 8's heroics, and in Pearl finding out from Captain Cuttlefish that Marina, whom she'd assumed to have been a tall Inkling, was an Octarian, Inkling society became more accepting of Octarians. Later, Mr. Grizz had built himself an army of Mammalians, but was ultimately stopped by Retired Agents 1, 2 and 3, as well as a newly recruited Agent 3, Captain Cuttlefish and the popular musical trio of the Splatsville district of the barren Splatlands, 'Deep Cut', consisting of Shiver, Frye and Big Man. Meanwhile, Pearl and Marina went on a world tour, but Marina came under extreme stress as she worked on it and a software project of hers at the same time. After what had happened in the Deep Sea Metro, she'd met an old friend of hers from Slimeskin Garrison, Ahato Mizuki. Having been a very self-doubting person, Ahato had volunteered to be sanitized by Tartar, so she could fully concentrate on the music she was passionate about. In having been exposed to the ink crystals that contained her desires and dreams, Ahato's sanitization had been reversed and she had regained her free will. Finding out about this, Marina realized that if Ahato could be freed from sanitization, maybe all other Octarians trapped in the Deep Sea Metro could, too. She collected the crystals that had been accumulated down there, but noticed that she had no way of knowing whose desires and dreams were whose. To try and catalog this, Marina programmed a virtual reality program during their world tour. Having stored digitized versions of the ink crystals as 'Memory Chips', the program, which she had dubbed 'Memverse', could be connected to any Inkling's or Octoling's brain, and have them complete a series of virtual reality tests, which would allow the program to attribute the right Memory Chip to the user, in order to enable Marina to reverse their sanitization. While preparing for her and Pearl's performances, Marina left an unfinished build of Memverse running to rifle through the data. However, out of the data, a pattern emerged, creating an Artificial Intelligence that called itself 'Order'. Taking on the form of a giant octopus, the 'Overlorder', and going through the Memory Chips, it decided that Inkling and Octarian society was too chaotic. It tapped into the Splatnet and spread itself across it, taking control over an increasing number of people's SquidPhones. It used these SquidPhones to give off a series of cognitohazardous audiovisual patterns, which allowed Order to read and essentially download the victims' minds, turning them catatonic and trapping their consciousnesses in the Memverse. One victim was Agent 8, who met Pearl, Marina and Ahato Mizuki, who called herself 'Acht', inside the Memverse, and who then battled up the 'Spire of Order'. It consisted of the tests Marina had devised, repurposed by Order. Every time Agent 8 failed on their ascent, the Spire of Order restructured itself, until Agent 8 had collected enough Memory Chips to battle their way to the top and defeat the Overlorder. Agent 8, Pearl, Marina and Acht escaped, and Order lost its power, turning into 'Smollusk'.
I kinda find it funny how they waited til Agent 3 turned 18 to make them the new Captain. Probably for the best tho cause of how Marie is. Craig knew what he was doing.
Also on a more serious note most of the Octolings that escaped didn't even make it to safety. Either a bear got them or they were dragged underground and exploited by a phone.
Splatoon 3 takes five years after splatoon 2 and Captain 3 is 21 in splatoon 3 and doing the math Capt 3 would be 16 by the time of Splatoon 2 subtract 2 for agent 4 making them 14 year's old yeah Marie on Dr disrespect type sh- and the developers are correct
Bro be like us Captain Cuttlefish a squid or a cuttlefish. Why is the voices so good tooooo. Captain Cuttlefish also has the greatest hat ever what are you talking about. Can I have a shoutout??

Maybe I’ll make a video on that though and break it into parts.

SEE I KNEW MARIE WAS AT THE DIDDY PARTY
I caught her in 4k
Damn this is so sad smh I wasn't expecting to see her on that list 😔
AIN'T PARTY LIKE THE SQUIDDY PARTY
