It's definitely the Grizzco Roller, which was already datamined. A Grizzco Splatling was never datamined. Also, the first ever Golden/all Grizzco rotation on Bonerattle is live right now! Don't miss out on that hot action this weekend!
Great to be back here, but, uhm guys? We NEED to talk about SashiMori's new songs, specifically Seacourse. Maybe I'm going crazy, but the vocals sound a lot, lot like Vocaloid to me. Like, to the point where I thought I clicked on a Vocaloid song by accident. Is it a speach synthesyser the band made? Or did the find recordings of Voclaoid? I need to know if Splatsune Miku is Canon!!!
@BingleyBongley Short answer: They don't have a vocalist, so they use remixed voices from other groups, most likely human. I can give you the long lore-filled answer if you'd like, as well!
@BingleyBongley OK, here we go:
SashiMori had a lead vocalist, but due to stylistic differences the group broke up for a time before reforming with their vocalist replaced by a 12-year-old Octoling named Paul (the one in your PFP). Now, rather than having actual lyrics, they took recordings from an ancient species (i.e. humans) and had Paul splice them in. Now, as to who their vocalist was, it's speculated to be Pearl, but Nogami specifically said that that could be "left to your imagination," so not canon, but not wrong, either. Also, in Amalgamania, there is a censorship bleep. There are three possible reasons for this:
1. One of Frye's voice clips sounds like "What the f***" to English speakers, so it's reasoned that one of the human lines sounded like an Inkling cuss word, and was thus bleeped out.
2. The bleep was a part of the recording and Paul kept it for stylistic purposes.
3 (the funny option). Paul heard an English cuss word and thought "Maybe the humans will listen to this music, better bleep this out." This is obviously not canonically possible, but it is funny to imagine.
One more thing: it is unconfirmed, but many speculate that Acht and Paul are cousins. This is because:
1. They have similar ink colors (at least pre-Acht's sanitization).
2. They both only have 3 tentacles (as seen in Paul's S2 artwork).
3. They both have the same hat featuring a stylized octopus (also seen in Paul's S2 artwork).
@CaleBoi25 WOW! Thanks! It's awesome how much lore they added even though they didn't have to. But, this got me thinking, do all bands have lore like this? Or is this special to Sashimori? I'd love to learn more about some of the bands! (not c-side, NOT C-SIDE)
@BingleyBongley Yes, there is a good bit of lore about everything in Splatoon. I know you said
(not c-side, NOT C-SIDE)
but the first thing to come to mind is that Kiki from C-Side also started Riot Act. All the bands have these tidbits! Even the Story Mode bands like Free Association and Octoplush! The main reason I know so much about it is
1. I am obsessed
2. My friend, known online as MagicalGirlFia, speaks Japanese and often translates interviews and such containing lore.
@CaleBoi25 Wow, cool! Great to know that I have someone to ask random lore questions to now! Sorry in advance (they'll come when you least expect it XD)
SUMMERFEST OUT OF NOWHERE HOLY MOLY
Well this more or less seems to concretely confirm that Splatfests are going to be continuing for a good while longer than many thought, right? Why else would they implement an entirely new Special Splatfest AND a new system revolving around 10x, 100x and 333x battes and Conch Shells?
which just raises even more questions over what the hell this shot at the end of Sizzle 2024's trailer is all about XD
Nice to see another special Splatfest and I like the sound of those changes (mirror matches aren't completely useless). Both FrostyFest and SpringFest were announced 2 months before happening so this Summer Nights event sounds like July timing, perhaps coinciding with the 7th anniversary of Splatoon 2.
It'll be very interesting to see what comes of all of this. I highly doubt Nintendo would want to do their June Direct very close to all the other events like Summer Game Fest and Xbox showcase which would mean Splatoon 3 presence in the Direct can't be June Splatfest, Summer Nights is already announced so it's not that either but FinalFest would probably distract from Summer Nights.
What I hope it means is that Splatoon 3 support is continuing beyond the 2 year promise made in August 2022.
I never spent my silver scales in Salmon Run this season. I wonder if we'll get any new SR suits this Sizzle season?
edit: Actually, I don't think I've spent any scales on anything this season. I think I have 1,750 orange scales. And I think I have 35-40, possibly 50, gold scales.
