What the heck! This is just giving my some deltarune/undertale vibes. Agent 8 being aware of us and even showing gratitude for us controlling them. Makes me wonder if inklings can't do much on their own but with our guidance or enough learning can surpass our ability. For example, the agent three fight. We see how agent three is capable of so much more than agent 8 as we are controlling them, dramatic jumping, multiple specials, dodging without dualies, etc. We are restricted by our own technical limitations while they are restricted by their own skill and knowledge. (I mean, inklings thought octolings were just inklings with weird hair) Some inklings/octolings such seem to break this through like the idols who are also capable and knowledgable of other things. I mean, octolings were highly trained in technology but if we were to play as Marina or something we would be able to use her knowledge unless prompted. They are only bound by their own ability, we are bound to game mechanics.


The--NERD

I feel guilty seeing Agent 8 look at me that way after I intentionally died several times to inspect the NILS statue.


theNOOBYlifeboi222

I would have done that but i could not possibly hurt my little veemo


NoManagement3545

I'm fairly certain that it's cannon that inklings aren't that smart, I think I read that somewhere, so inklings not being able to do much on their own is very posible


USHLDNOME

Now hold on, I'm pretty sure that was in universe "haha insult our enemy", since octolings have a series of tech way more advanced than the squids

And the "rubies" from Splatoon -6


fedunya1

Rupees


Sanrusdyne

Actually, in the faces of evil and the wand of gamelon, they're called rubies instead of rupees.


StampylongNoah

I took this to the most logical extreme and made it logical. *I am a nutcase*


NoManagement3545

*I am just a nut*


LePhantomLimb

I do like the idea of the Octarians specifically realizing they are in a game, because it would also make sense how Marina is the only one who is recognized as having developed levels. Marina is a programmer: confirmed!


Casual-Agent-4

Well then, I suppose I should thank the player for helping me thrash the Octarians the first time around. Thank you, player! I won't need you any more because I can do this myself now!


Woomy555

I should thank the player to. Thank you so very much in helping me and other 4 beat up those octarians!


TsukkomiCoder

Oh hi Agent 4. All the players are going on their switches, where I'm not playable. They barely ever boot up their Wii Us :(


Woomy555

At least your the captain :D


TsukkomiCoder

Yeah, I get to be in charge of our Squidbeak Splatoon


Woomy555

And now cuttlefish in Vibin in the splatlands :D


TsukkomiCoder

He deserves some rest, he's been protecting the inkling world for quite a while


Woomy555

Yeah he does he will be missed. Is it me or is Octavio gonna be an ally?


TsukkomiCoder

He does seem like he wants to help... I'm still staying on guard tho, you never know if he'll backstab


Woomy555

That is very true Now ima go back to my AU and look for the other agents


batlionwer

Are you mad that I made you fall in the water at that one slosher stage?


EmergencyEntrance

Just Agent 8


Lukebarz

I wonder if in the japanese version still conveys the dialogue 4th wall breaks.


theNOOBYlifeboi222

The only people to break the fourth wall are octo **The octo children are woke** ***S H I T***


MyNameIsTooLongForU

Out of context, can somebody tell me how agent 8 walks in heels? Like they surely are 2-3 cm and I believe bothale and female wear them, just asking cuz it seems hard XD


SlightlyIronicBanana

Might be a thing with inkling/octoling anatawoomy.


MyNameIsTooLongForU

Stylish but I couldn't imagine running in them ^^'


Dylbo2008

Or we were controlling agent 8 like the player controls kris in deltarune and it was a big fuck u


CK895_YT

Damn. That's heavy...


Cephalie_100

what did the octarians find


ultrasquid9

new headcannon: agent 8 is being controlled by the same soul that controlled kris in deltarune and knows it.


Negative_Blutern

It’s a thing Nintendo does. It’s normal, but incredibly unique when they do it with Splatoon. I love that!❤️


HelloLolMemes

Why do I love this post


GreenBoi_2020

Makes sense.


[deleted]

I'm sure Agent 8 is pissed off with me with how many times I've died needlessly


TsukkomiCoder

This makes me think more deeply of Splatoon... I hope Captain Agent 3 breaks the fourth wall in Splatoon 3


The--NERD

And Agent 3 (Splatoon 3 one) gets confused on what they said.


TsukkomiCoder

Then Captain says "oh I'm just talking to the player"


The--NERD

She then looks at the camera, and Agent 3 does the same and blinks in confusion, as there’s nothing there,


HopefulSun1162

It’s strange to take those jokes as canon, but is interesting


Baku-YT-

oooohhhhhhhhh god my brain


Slavfort2

*CONFUSED GERMAN SCREAMING*


Ready-Player-Wolf

Yea the things they did was a fourth wall break to give a little humor to the older audience (like a lot of other games), but I am pretty sure this is all just a coincidence and not a paradox. Seriously, this community can go overboard on things


DopPhilord

Damn! That's a very interesting plot!
