Join the Discord :) discord.com/invite/Q4qZR86FUn Also i want to clear up something I got wrong. This obviously doesn't retract from the tragedy that is TarTar, but he didnt blend 10000 Octolings. For one Isopadre (who he is isnt important) is said to have gone through the trials and escaped successfully, meaning it wasnt just Octolings (hes a fucking isopod, this game is LITTERED with puns like this). More importantly, i LITERALLY say in the video that he first tested them to see if they were worthy of being apart of the Blended Ink, meaning not everyone was worthy of being blended. It could be argued that he blended them anyway and just disposed of the waste, but I think the more likely answer is that he would just simply sanitize the unworthy ones. Also i accidentally cut a line out of the video that I wanted to share. Deadf1sh willingly became sanitized so they could let go of their fears and doubts, allowing them to put all of their focus into making music. Thank for read, love you

That's not even the worst part about Sanitization. I don't remember whether this was said in an interview or in game, but I'm pretty sure that the reason sanitization turns someone green is because you extract the memories and desire of a person, turn them into physical form, extract the consciousness, then make a new body *out of the blended ink* and place what's left of the consciousness in there. That's why they're green. The form just resembles what they used to look like. But that's also why the green effect isn't reversed after you gain your memories (like we saw with Acht regaining memory and still not going back to normal.) sanitization is terrifying. E for everyone does not always mean for kids.

The octarian technology also gets very dark. The octoweapon you showed; the Octo Oven? Well it used to be an industrial grade oven, but it launched bread out so hard they went 'well, we can make this a weapon' and baked actual Octarians into the bread to be utilized. Biotech is pivotal to how the Octarians survived being forced underground, and even if the octarians in question might have been okay with it, it is super messed up when you think about it. The Duality of splatoon's light hearted aesthetic coupled with it's deeply terrifying subject matter is a boomerang that keeps hitting me in the face.

Yep. _Insert something about Salmonid culture glorifying not just dying in battle, but being cooked and eaten as a respectable way to go out here_

I have been part of the splatoon lore community for a while now so I’m just going to help clear a few smaller things up for people and patch a plot hole or two in the story. 1. While the splatoon 1 lore comic is pretty useful for gathering some idea of some of the story before humans went into the underground domes, it is very outdated and the information in it could be entirely wrong at this point in the story. But Splatoon 3 clarifies what actually caused the mass extinction event with the Alterna Logs. While there still probably was a raging war humanity got destroyed more by a collection of bad timing with natural disasters including various intense volcanic eruptions along side serous sea level increases. 2. The reason why the Alternan’s chose a rocket to escape to the surface and not just use the tunnels out is that that was a product of Nintendo of America changing parts of the lore when translating it. In the original Japanese version the goal was to y’know actually go to space with the Spirit Lifter and not just see the surface. 3. While it is true that the Inklings and Octarians have a modern day feud it is another Nintendo of America translation that led to the feud being related to race. The actual reason for the ongoing feud is much more Interesting. It is all related to the idea of two rival nations giving propaganda to their people to dehumanize each other. While both ways each of them use propaganda differ with DJ Octavio being much more intense with having diagrams depicting inklings as mindless savage animals in classrooms, while Inklings have Octarains losing the war because of their inferior number of limbs. 4. This one is a bit nickpicky but Tartar’s goal with the N.I.L.S. Statue wasn’t to control all of Inkopolis but to eradicate all sentient marine life using the DNA of the best test subjects who would be a « Primordial ooze in which a ultimate life form would emerge ». 5. The blended Octolings and various other sea creatures aren’t actually used to sanitize the Octarains but instead as I said before, used to make the Primordial Ooze. They use a special sanitized ink to remove the soul of the Octarain and then they fill it with a replacement that then controls what the Octarain does. Sorta like how we clean bacteria to insert our own DNA to control the bacteria. Btw this isn’t to say this video is bad, I actually enjoyed it a lot! I just always like to clarify some lore details because there is so much lore misinformation in the splatoon details that it’s always good to inform people ‘bout the proper lore. Thanks for making this and getting the lore side of splatoon out there more!

I would just like to mention that while there were 10,008 applicants to Tartar's trials, only those who passed the required amount of trials and found "worthy" were blended. An example of an applicant who wasn't found worthy and is still alive and now chilling in Inkopolis square in Splatoon 3 is Iso Padre. Only a fraction of applicants were found worthy and blended.

I adore that Splatoon has slowly revealed it's darkness hiding under the bright and colorful exterior with each passing main line game, like the devs are slowly peeling back how deep this rabbit hole goes knowing that they've already got ya from how unassuming the surface of the franchise looks.

Just to clarify: Humanity in Splatoon world didn't go extinct because of ocean levels rising, that was explained in Splatoon 1's guide, but in Splatoon 3 is revealed that the global scale conflict triggered a lot of natural disasters besides the increase in the ocean levels, like volcano eruptions, massive earthquakes, high pollution levels, diseases and so on. Even if the ice in both Earth poles melted, it's not enough water to flood even half of the Earth's surface. I think that's why Nintendo changed the story about humanity's extintion.

I think the Octolings/Octarians stayed underground at least semi-willingly after the Great Turf War because of DJ Octavio's brainwashing or whatever it is he's up to. The Octolings who ended up in the Metro are most likely ones who heard the Calamari Inkantation during Splatoon 1's final boss fight(and potentially Splatoon 2's depending on the timeline for when Octo Expansion happens) and became curious about the surface, eventually looking for ways to escape and winding up in the Metro. So they literally just wanted freedom after being exposed to a world they were conditioned to hate and then got turned into goop instead. also 4:06 ive never watched neon genesis evangelion but my brain has decided that those things are squid evas

It also can make Sanitized Octarians, and presumably sanitize other species 8:02 Agent 8 was actually subject 10008, so at least that many people were tested, but not necessarily accepted into being blended.

Fire in the hole

When the “scientist” trailer of the first game came out, I thought it was a species made by humanity. But after I learned the lore, maybe a year later, I know better now

As someone who started with Splatoon 3, Splatoon lore is a dark mindfuck that's for sure Pokemon can get super dark with the manga and lore implications, but splatoon takes it to a new level of dark

i thought this video was really long but its so short good job!!!

1:20 "Then the human quickly built an ark- wait wrong lore" That got my cracking up!

I thought about this topic a lot to as playing Splatoon 3 more even though I’m not a huge Splatoon fan looking at the backstory files that you get from the missions you realize how much darker the whole story can get

“This is Nintendo’s darkest franchise” Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid, like 3 Pokémon Generations.

As someone who dont know anything about splatoon this sure was a suprise. I need to play it now.

If you do more dark Nintendo lore, I'd be more engaged as I'm into that but loving your commentary and editing lol

6:34 but it was really fan and then once you get all the skills that you learn from it, it’s even more fun

Oh yeah I agree, Octo expansion was awesome

need more vids like this on my feed.

There will never be another game experience like the one that Splatoon 2 octo expansion gave me, the ending the song that played Edd & Flow is soo nostalgic to me love the splatoon lore ❤

I love the edit in the beginning with the inkling falling

Thank you so much for making this video. this is both nintendos darkest and most underrated series (in the states) and it needs to be spread badly

Banger video 🗿

Holy shit this video is fucking fire 🔥 please make more of this 😭

Do more splatoon lore, this is great, just subscribed

when i was a kid i always wanted to play splatoon but i never could bc well, wii u was kinda expensive for my family, some years ago i finally bought the switch and then my aunt bought me splatoon 3, i swear to god that this was the best shit that has ever happened to me

Splatoon, the only franchise where race wars are not only perfectly acceptable, but *expected* And where everyone throws a party over it

Great video!

This video was amazing. We need more splatoon lore covered by this guy!!!

6:36 I totally agree. I still have nightmares about some level, and the Agent 3 second fight

I love how all theres all this information showing how incredibly dark this game can be. And it barely scratch the surface of the iceberg. Its crazy how deep the lore is. (Shout out to the Rassicas iceberg video)

Loved the video!

What ?

4:30 "they made music" *proceeds to show 2 of the most well-known octarian music makers albums*

Bro forgot Louie from Pikmin 💀 NOW that is scary... 😰

What people think of Splatoon lore is: 😊😊😊 Splatoon lore: 💀💀💀💀💀

There's a few mistakes like the route the inklings and octolings used to escape alterna, when they escape through a hole made by the explosion of the reactor that killed the humans, and also the lack of Mr Grizzy lore but essentially its everything yeah

Splatoon 🤝 Mother/earthbound Having the darkest story with colorful and funny gameplay

4.08 1 thing to add to the great Turf War. 😅 The inklings just won because the octoling used cables to power their weapons( yk, great octoweapons and stuff) and someone tripped over the wire and accidentlly cut off all of the power of the octarians. 😐 (At least that's what probably happened, based on sunken scolls.) That was also how Lil'Judd was created(but you didn't mention 'em here sooo.. ) But that's deeper and minor lore, which takes way longer to explain than 10 minutes(trust me. I watched a 4 h video to understand EVERYTHING), so I don't blame you! Amazing video btw!

I started with Splatoon 2 as the 2nd game I ever got for my switch, got way more out of it then Pokken Tournament DX, that's for sure. Splatoon is awesome, if you haven't played it before, I'd recommend checking it out

Right dude, I didn't get to talk about it in the video because it wasn't the point but mechanically splatoon is a masterpiece
