Salmon Run is a brand new mode in Splatoon 2, and it has many secrets.
For instance: Salmonids, and their mysteries, and Mr Grizz,
a very enigmatic character sending us to work for him...
Many details remain untold and they are now often theorised.
Where do Salmonids come from? Who is Mr Grizz?
Why do we have to collect eggs? As you can see, many questions come to mind,
and we are going to highlight some details in order to find answers in this video.
First, let's talk about the origin of Salmonids.
Let's take a closer look at scroll 17 in Splatoon 2 :
[reading the French translation of the parchment]
[The following part deals with specific translations from French to English]
[Major Pagrus is the French name of Madai here]
As you may know, in the English version, this scroll is not "Major Pagrus's memoirs",
but you can read "The Book of Madai",
Madai is a biblical figure actually, he is said to Noah's descendant.
Moreover, Madai is the Japanese name of a kind of fish, so in English
it is actually a play on words mixing Splatoon's own aquatic world and
a little touch of religion in this scroll.
This fish name, Madai, becomes
Major Pagrus in French, and this name is the one used at the bottom
of the French version of the scroll.
[Litterally] Major Pagrus's Memoirs, Chapter 10.
So, the French translation sounds more like a manual of war rather than a biblical book,
but the play on words is actually pretty cool, only because of the translation.
The word "major" in French does not sound biblical, but in English, this scroll
has heavy religious references, and represents Salmonids coming out of the ocean, and
it seems like the seven circles in the sky are a biblical reference to the Seven Seals of Revelation,
And the two characters in the foreground may be a reference
to Adam and Eve, both casted out of the Garden of Eden, as depicted on a fresco by Masaccio.
We also had other references to Adam and Eve in the first Splatoon scrolls.
Anyway, here, with this biblical tone, Salmonids appear as some apocalyptic danger
and the two human characters are in fact Inklings chased away from their own paradise.
This is actually quite a mysterious scroll and it seems to give us the origins of
Salmonids like a divine arrival, which may only be some
gods' will to end the world as it is, nothing more.
However, historically, religious texts tend to find answers
to unsolved questions.
The true explanation may only be evolution, the same evolution that
made Inklings and Octarians come out of water.
Well, about the Octarians, we know that an alliance between Octarians
and Salmonids has been made.
It is said in the game manual, in the Salmon Run section.
You can read that Salmonids acquired the technology enabling them to build
gushers after meeting with the Octarians.
Indeed, the gushers in Goldie Seeking look like the same gushers
as the ones in the Octarian world, in the solo campaign.
An alliance between the two peoples known as our enemy is
pretty curious.
Indeed, we know that the Octarians are fond of science and biology.
We may think that Salmonids were created by the Octarians, but
that would be in contradiction with scroll 18, in which you can see salmons
in the Middle Ages, and also with scroll 17 actually, from earlier,
which gives the impression of being even older.
What is called "Middle Ages" in scroll 18 is not our real world Middle Ages but
Inklings' Middle Ages, that is to say an ancient time between
the rising sea levels and the actual events of the game.
This scroll also deals with the migration of salmons, which occurs once every 70 years,
and this explains why we didn't have Salmon Run available in
the first Splatoon, because the 70 year period wasn't over yet.
In order to stay true to this fact, Salmon Run shouldn't be available
in a third Splatoon game if its timeline is set some years after Splatoon 2.
About the Octarians, there is another peculiar detail: you know, the orange
eggs picked during a Salmon Run round are the same as the ones
you collect during the solo campaign in the Octarian world.
Why is that so? Well, one possible explanation would be that
the Octarians themselves go on a salmon hunt in order to collect
some eggs.
During the story mode, collecting eggs throughout the campaign enables us
to unlock and upgrade weapons, so this may be
some sort of raw material that enables Inklings and Octarians to improve their technologies,
especially weaponry.
Zapfishes are for electricity, and the eggs for technological improvement.
Anyway, this theory is possible.
To end this video, i'd like to talk about Mr Grizz again.
In a previous video, I presented you a theory about Mr Grizz,
feel free to see it now, if you haven't yet [The video is translated]
In this one, I'm going to give you three other theories in order to answer the good old question:
Who is he?
In Splatoon 2, the only one character missing, thus very important
in Splatoon 1, is Cap'n Cuttlefish.
We are told in the story mode, especially in scroll 25, that Cuttlefish
went on an investigation with Agent 3, somewhere he calls "the cape".
We can see a very enigmatic see map, as well as a fishing lure,
so these two details are closely related to fishes, hence
to Salmon Run.
And what if Cuttlefish was in fact Mr Grizz
who went on an investigation on Salmonids, and had open a shop in Inkopolis in order to
send some Inklings to collect eggs so that he can study
Salmonids?
All of this remains shady, we don't know that much about
this investigation.
Maybe it has nothing to do with Salmon Run.
Even if it did, it doesn't mean that Cuttlefish is
in fact Mr Grizz.
Anyway, this is still an option.
The second theory I want to talk about is the following:
Mr Girzz
is in fact an Octarian.
As we could see, the Octarians use fish eggs for their business.
You can find eggs all around their world during the solo campaign.
So if there are eggs in their world, it means that they have to get them somewhere, right?
What if they were in fact using Inklings in order to do their dirty work,
and Mr Grizz
was in fact an Octarian, hidden in the Inkling world? What if he was recruiting
on a regular basis in order to fill his pockets with fish eggs, and
bringing them back ro rhe Octarian world.
We saw earlier that there is a link between the Octarians and Salmonids, so...
It is a serious option to assume that Mr Grizz
is in fact an Octarian.
And to finish this video, I am going to give you a third theory, a little bit
excentric, but nonetheless pretty clever: what if Mr Grizz
was not a bear but a Sperm Whale, or any sort of whale?
Let me explain.
First, we know that Inklings know about whales.
We can see a whale skeleton in The Shellendorf Institute.
We can also see some on posters in MakoMart. Even the logo itself of the
supermarket depicts a whale.
So whales are part of the Splatoon universe, or at least, they existed at some point
et the Inklings are very well aware of what they are.
Why would Mr Grizz be a whale, then, may you wonder.
Or even a sperm whale, specifically? Well, you have to know that
sperm whales produce some substance called in French "ambre gris".
It is produced in the digestive system of the sperm whales, hypothetically after being wounded
by the giant squids' beaks after being swallowed by the whale.
So, sometimes fishermen found some ambergris,
and this substance is often used in chemistry, or perfumery,
for instance.
Well, as you can see, there is already some kind of connection between
squids and sperm whales, with the ambergris.
Well, in fact, that's not all, because in English, it is called
"ambergris".
And even though the writing and the pronunciation are slightly different,
we can see some hidden message appear.
Which is: AM BER GRIS, which sounds literraly the same as : I AM BEAR GRIZZ.
So we're moving from sperm whales to ambergris, to finally end up with
am ber gris, which litterally means: I am bear Grizz.
I think this theory is pretty innovative.
Is it pure language coincidence? Or is it a true will from Nintendo developpers
to convey a message? We may never know.
Anyway, Mr Grizz's identity
remains unknown for now.
We may wait and hope for little more information with a next update or even
in a next Splatoon game.
As for Salmonids, same hopes.
For now, it is still blurry.
I hope this video gave you some key clue to find answers to these questions,
and I hope you enjoyed it.
It you did, feel free to let everyone know by liking, commenting and sharing the video.
EvilSquid speaking, see you soon in a next video,
Bye!
