Splatoon series really needed a high quality timeline video with in-depth research, didn't spread misconceptions, and referenced JP sources outside the game to get the full picture of the game's world and characters. This is it. 100% has my stamp of approval, def give it a watch twitter.com/JEXST4/status/…

Why does Octavio always stay in octopus form? this age-old splatoon lore mystery finally has an official answer: he was injured.
funny thing is, this was in what was supposed to be a "review" section of splatoon's story in the October 2018 issue of Nintendo Dream magazine.

From the pre-order page for Splatune 3 on ebten:
"Special features include a chat about music between Marie, Marina, and Big Man, tweets from C-Side bass vocalist Beika, and an article about the secrets of the hit band, Front Roe."
so Beika is their name! (and has a deep voice)

years before inkopolis plaza, the tutorial area of splatoon 2 in the backstreets of inkopolis square was the hub of the city's fashion culture.
the first firefin brand shirts were sold here by artists named Saygo and a75ching.
a75ching has also designed the logo for squidforce. twitter.com/Splatfacts/sta…

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! A new Splatoon lore video has finally come.
This was a collaboration with my friend @ardnin_, months in the making. It's about the Inkling language and how we deciphered it!
Out now for patreon patrons, and for everyone else...tomorrow!
16
THE LOCALIZED NAMES FOR THE SPLATBAND MEMBERS???? ACTUALLY REAL NOW???
17
The strap on the headlamp of the Salmon Run slopsuits contains a secret message:
CONTACT UR PEOPLE TO RESCUE YOU FROM THEM
TURTLE HELM PROTECTS YOU FROM ALL ATTACKS
18
How was the Inkling language made? How famous are the Squid Sisters in the Inkling world (in S1)? Why do Inklings die in water?
All this and more is covered in this 2015 Splatoon developer interview that went untranslated until now.
see the replies for a link to the translation!

I saw a few lines of Big Run news dialogue that were raising concern, namely about those implying salmonids were just dumb animals so.... ENG vs JP
20
those eggs had places to be (not the basket) #Splatoon3 #NintendoSwitch
21
if anyone for some reason doubted that the salmon filets in makomart really were salmonid meat or their whole thing about not fearing death...behold: twitter.com/Timtams_art/st…

im surprised "inkfish" never really caught on in the english-speaking splatoon community as a shorthand for "inklings and octolings," akin to "イカタコ" in JP. usually i see "cephalings" or "cephalopods" which still have a lot of letters
"inkfish" even gets used in game by flow
23
LMAOOO jp comments pointing out that the last kanji in 発射 (firing) and the first one in 精度 (precision) when put together, as they are here, read as 射精 (ejaculation) twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…
24
the way i was psychic for drawing this 3 years ago twitter.com/rassicas/statu…
25
id like more of the JP side of the splatoon community to be aware of how thoroughly the inkling language has been deciphered by those on the english speaking side (because it is a cool thing!)
