Following on from the news that the Octo Expansion DLC for Splatoon 2 is now available for free as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, Nintendo has issued a "vibe check" to fill players in on the relationships, grudges, crushes, and, er, edibility (?) of all of the game's characters. Look, it's best if you just take a peep for yourself:
So, now we know that Callie and Marie miss each other, Craymond is a "weird little dude", and Jelfonso thinks you're a peasant. Will that make you better at Splatoon 2? No, probably not. But at least you won't commit any social faux-pas when you're invited to the next Squid Ball, which is far more important.
Does this count as Crab News? Even though it's a Friday??? Let us know which "vibe" matches your own in the comments!

Woah, that is really in-depth. Good stuff, though
It never clicked until just now, but they were totally setting up Mr. Grizz in Splatoon 2 as foreshadowing for this game, weren't they? He must be one of the last mammals along with Judd. I imagine he'll play a prominent role in the story and we'll finally get to see his face. Maybe he's the main antagonist this time around. Bears eat fish, after all. If Nintendo doesn't go this route, I'll be pretty disappointed.
Didn't Nintendo post this years ago?
This chart is pretty old, actually. I think they first revealed it in 2019 because of FinalFest. It shouldn’t surprise me that they’ve rereleased it, though.
As somebody who hasn't played any Splatoon, I can confirm that I know, er, somehow even less about its characters after reading this???
Every game should have an org chart, just as every business should have ink fuelled turf wars.
C.Q. Cumber is the true neutral of the Splatoon universe.
Stuff like this shows how insanely detailed Splatoon as a world is. They didn't need to make something like this. Yet they did, and it's honestly why I've fallen in love with this series. Hopefully 3 brings more of that sweet juicy lore to the table, especially with how they seem to be setting up something surrounding the Judds, those two are so interesting (poor Lil' Judd's going through an existential crisis).
Team Pearl forever
Love how C.Q. Cumber has zero allegiance. And Agent 8's description being "Heard that one song" is priceless.
I can relate to how Marie feels if you talk too much to her before a mission.
As a teacher, I sometimes I feel my pupils don't understand what I say.
Super cool chart!
Thank you much for sharing Ms. Gray and Nintendo Life!
@MsJubilee Yep, they had. In their tumblr to be precise:

It was also a MyNintendo reward for a while (the page is still up):

@NerdyBoutKirby y'know, I had an inkling it might be old (and that someone would call me out for it!) But sometimes it's the end of a work week, and it's Friday, and you want to just write something quick and fun ☺️
Pearl is the only one using an active voice, with "off to rule the world" being something that is going to happen, not something that has happened already.
Agent 8 was drawn in MS paint for some reason.
If I'm guessing, they are both clues. I think Pearl is just re-enforcing the influence they are going to have in 3, and Agent 8 will be joining off the Hook or some other role that puts her front and centre, so that's not what she looks like now. The bad art points to that being an "old" head shot.
I first saw this a while ago, but I have just noticed that Judd has all these arrows that say "Yum...". Does Judd want to eat them? That is concerning. Maybe they seem like seafood to him still!
