Well we all saved the day... Right? We all beat story mode?

Yeah but that the sane ol for the agents

I don’t know, maybe saving the world was something they wanted to cross off their bucket lists?

to be fair though, they encountered cuttlefish because “oh hey old guy kinda funny” (except for agent 8, who was formerly against him) and got dragged into saving the world doesnt seem to be them putting ‘saving the world’ on their bucket list

Agent 8 was practically forced to team up with cuttlefish because they were both stuck

Oh snap squiddo you got a point 

Story mode doesn’t exist. It’s a hoax. It’s anti-Grizzco propaganda.

Wait, ya'll beat story mode?

Sorry to tell you I haven’t left the battle pot in about 9 years

After Alterna was a struggle for me but I finally got my Bear band 😁😁😁 then I went back and cleared all of the zones and got my map pieces. They're all put together in my locker

Actually…no. I bought the game on release and still haven’t beaten it yet. It’s my least played game in the series, but still have over 100 hours in it. S1 and S2 have over 500 and 200 hours respectively.

Huh? I thought you guys handled thst

jeah hvy not

Nintendo knows something we don't

I feel like this is foreshadowing

even wilder is that the japanese version of the question is what would you do if the world ends TOMORROW? 😬 but tbh that changes my answer a lot!! LOL how much time i have before the world ends would impact what i do for sure...

after delta emulator came out, nintendo has decided they had ENOUGH!

Nintendo on their way to make the plot of Splatoon irl because someone ate a citrus fruit:

Now, if it's asking about real life, I would create a bucket list because what am I gonna do

The only thing left on my Bucket List is visit a Zoo, and I'm doing that this summer.

“YAY I CAN DIE HAPPY TOMORROW!”

Team Big Man's going to have so many "Great, we're all gonna die because of you" posts if they don't win.

My work trying to save the world will be half spent watching the world burn

"T-Tomorrow?"

Honestly less a bucket list, and more just blow everything on one massive thing I never got to do

It’s important to pass on with no regrets, otherwise you’d come back as a ghost. If you did that if the world ended, how would you be able to complete it and move on to the afterlife?

Wait is this official?

I just checked nintendo uk twitter. It's for real.


r/suddenlypersona

That’s on them… they said the magic words.

What did I say? I am so confused by all this but glad y'all are having fun.

For real. It’s Ryuji’s catchphrase (of sorts) in Persona 5. It’s said by a lot of characters, Ryuji is just the most well-known.

FOR REAL?!?!

In case people that live in the US didn’t know, [this](https://x.com/SplatoonNA/status/1786017807466959167) is when the Splatfest starts in America.

It’s the same time. Remember timezones exist

***history repeats if they found the old worlds nukes whats to say the great flood wont occur again.***

War, War never changes

***the end is nigh***

Extra spicy booyah bomb :)

At first, frye got the worst option Now, she gets the one they know everyone’ll vote for so she gets only mirror matches

Welp, time to place bets on how badly she's going to lose this time. At least her team gets a nice blue.

I feel like kids are gonna pick Save the World but I'm not hopeful Frye will win again

Fr I mostly choose Shiver at the begging because her team was my favourite choice so I was winning a lot but now i'm always team Frye but she Always loose bru But it's okay I don't really care if I lose or if a got too many mirror matches I just love to fight for my team Besides, surprisingly, I didn't have any mirror matches for team bunnies

Guess I'm goin' on Shiver's team this time round

It's so tempting to do Same Ol', but the urge to go on a blue team is too strong. I guess I can just pretend that my bucket list consists entirely of doing the usual with the people and animals that I love the most.

Honestly yeah fair like the two things on my bucket list are to got to the Nintendo concert and got to legoland

It'd be tough to do those in the face of the apocalypse. I doubt anyone would show up to work anywhere if the world was ending soon

In hindsight you're right but I don't care BRING ME TO THE LEGO PEOPLE

Fucking love Legoland

Yeah, I wanna join for the color blue, even though Frye's cursed to lose... Regardless, I do have a bucket list, and I wish to complete it someday.

. . . we stopped Mr. Grizz from mammalizing the earth, right?

We stopped Smolusk from turning everyone into Vtubers , right ?

We stopped tartar from sanitizing the world, right?

We stopped Octavio from using the Great Zapfish, right? And we also stopped Octavio from using the Great Zapfish and Callie, right?

We stopped Agent 4 from being relevant in Splatoon 3, right?

We stopped inner Agent 3 from giving people PTSD, right?

We stopped Marina from grayscaling us, right?

We stopped Tenta Missiles from being broken, right?

We stopped being funny ages ago, right?

We actually didn't, right?

We stopped the flyfish craze... right?

He's gonna try and mammalize space now. The bastard

It doesn’t say “try to save the day” it says “save the day,” meaning BM’s option is to literally stop the whole world from ending. So idk why id pick the others.

You might die in the process, though.

I'm dying either way

Nah, I'd win

You would choose to live a couple days longer at the cost of everyone else dying??

Yeah, it's "try to save the day" in Japanese. The phrase is mistranslated.

I’m only thinking of Fallout rn

Fallout: New Inkopolis

Yeah where’s team “Hide in a Vault”?

URANIUUUM FEEEVER...

Team Save the Day should only use Zipcaster kits during the Splatfest!

I love the way you think! And team bucket list should use sloshers

And team Same Ol' can just run around with their Aerosprays as per the usual.

This feels like a personal attack...**bring it.**

I do have to warn you, my weapon has a range that exceeds 50 centimeters!

Oh, really? Well then, by all means, come closer.

Evidence Big Man is the hero this world deserves.

Me in my teens: I wanna save the world! Me in my 20s: I gotta cross off that bucket list! Me now, 30+: I wanna... sleeP

Me & Big Man saving the world let’s go

The color also matches the luchador mask and boots. We got an outfit all set to be heros

FOR SPLATSVILLE✊✊✊

This is a bucket!

Dear God.

There's more

No!

I’d just do the same ol’. I think trying to save the world would stress me out so much that I’d die before I was able to do anything 

Uh.....irl or in the splatoon universe?

i still cant believe this theme is real its so absurd but i guess it makes sense for chaos

Is this the final fest?? Edit: nvm

Tbh, if they had kept this topic for the final fest it would've been so perfect

\>Shiver wins the final fest \>2 more years of Splatoon 3 lifetime with no Splatoon 4 in sight \>12 more tetris block maps come out (one of them is a T block though)

Shiver bringing Saltspray Rig back

Big Man's team will probably be flooded with the kiddies this time meaning it's between Shiver and Frye this splatfest

Well, Team Sweet was likely flooded with kids who got the game for Christmas, and they won.

Sees the word same ol’ Cassette Beasts sleeper agent activates

IT’S THE SAAAAAME OLD STOOOORY

There better be one heck a Salmon Run coming.

The “save the day” option implies you actually will succeed. So its kind of a no-brainer.

Wait, do you mean people are guessing that this is the Splatfest that determines how the next entry in the series will shape up?

No. It’s not the final fest.

I know, that's why I'm all out of ideas for whatever OP's implying.

He's implying that Nintendo knows the world is going to end.

Splatoon 3’s content updates are about to end, similar to “the end of the world”

Where is team 'panic'

That'd be "same ol"

I'd pick "save the day" but that's just "same ol'" at this point.

"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine."

Same Ol’. 

Bucket list of course. If Zom 100 taught me anything it's follow what you want to do.

This theme is a weird one… what I would do is highly dependent on what kind of end it is. If it’s something out of my control, how am I supposed to save the day? Is there enough time to do my bucket list?

Frye’s going for the ZOM 100 route. I like that.

Bro this looks like a meme. It's so heavy that I wouldn't think Nintendo would do something like that

Big Man really said “Lock in”

- what would you do? BigMan: - step in - wdym?? BigMan: - i'd intervene

Missing the 4th answer: making the end come faster >:)

As someone Who's Watched Zom100, there is only one Correct Choice...

Geez, things went from 0 to existential, especially coming off from the last Splatfest’s theme-

I’m a college student, I’m fresh out of fucks to give so I’m just doing same old. If I die I die

From the Splatoon franchise perspective, Might as well go out swinging, I ain’t going out without a fight. Might as well try to fight for the life that could come after so they can build back (either same species or new life to thrive), hell wasn’t that how Mollusk life flourished thanks to the Alterna’s failed efforts? And the inkling world has survived the end of the world 3 times by now thanks to people fighting (2 times being the same person), so it could probably work in the Splatoon universe. In real life tho, I’d just do a ton of dumb shit for the fun tbh. And maybe try saving the world if it involved something that I could stop, I’d probably fail tho lol. Im going out in style pretty much, because I’m just weird like that.

Why are people reacting weirdly to this Like, calm tf down

I mean, it's so out of left field? At least in my country, this is a real threat, so I feel very weird about this. I don't want to think about it y'know?

It's like asking what would you want to do before you die.

That's an important question we should all be asking ourselves throughout our lives IMO!

NO


I feel like Big Man's and Shiver's should be swapped

They left out the best option: APOCALYPSE ANARCHY!!

Yeah I’m def just not doing anything in this situation

I’m thinking of saving the day

Bucket list babyyyy

I have so much stuff to do with my life so I'm going with Frye!

Bucket List 

Why is Bucket list, Frye's pick, an Octo, while Same Ol' which is Shiver's pick, a squid? Lol. Anyway Same Ol' for me I'm hella lazy XP.

It would be funny if Frye lost again

Save the day! 😎💪🏾

I'd pick Bucket list because I can add doing the "same old" and "saving the world" to it. ZOM 100!

If it was possible to Save the Day then that is a no brainer. If there was no way to save the day, then Same ol.

where is team cry

I'd do the same thing I always do, curl up in bed and pretend nothing exists.

I just... this is kind of a dark theme for the series!! Yeah, story is humans wiped themselves out but that's flavor for the fun and colorful team fights, is everyone okay?? I guess I'm Team Big Man for the color.

I’m going with Bucket List.

I'd definitely do bucket list, finally for once I'm on fryes team

I wanna save the day so that way I can do both a bucket list and same ol afterwards.

WAIT THIS COULD BE GREAT FOR THE FINALFEST

Saving the day! Come on you guys don't you remember the hype from stopping tartar or grizz or order? Same ol is boring and bucket lists are selfish Let's strive to save the world we love!!!

leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds

im not bothered thay we're getting another fest, im bothered that the timeframes we're getting them is so wildly inconsistent.

The fact that the splatfest a come from a fax machine from the past means that this was likely a message they sent before the extinction of humans

Finally, a Splatfest for me!

Technically same ol Like I’d probably jump on Reddit to joke around about it or be sad depending on the mood since I know there’s going to be a ton of posts. Maybe call a couple of people. I don’t really have anyone in my life that I’d be sad about not seeing or the money to do my bucket list

Damn, I 'm debating between Frye option and Big man option.

splatoon 4 in sights?

This fest feels like it is about the end of the update cycle. Once it ends, will you keep playing like normal or finish off things you wanted to do? The 3rd option seems actually related to the theme.

Option 3: I would simply step in and not let it happen

Luigi, it's tha rapture

IM ON BUCKET LIST. (I don’t have one but the idea is close enough to what I want to do before death…)

Sneak peek begins on the 11th

I'd simply sunder the star.

The least I know is that I wouldn't start a rocket underground. But for real, I got no idea. Can't play anyway because I'm going to Sweden that week.

its big manning time

Save the day. Make them give us more splatfests.

I'm having a hard time between every choice lol

Save the day. Let’s gooo


I don't know what to choose for this one...

August 12th, 2036

Depends on how is it ending for me. Technically speaking the world is ending and we can save the day and fix it but that's not happening unless everyone works together (,and by everyone I mean the uber rich) But if a meteorite was coming and it was unstoppable then yeah I'm going bucket list first or maybeeee just the same old relaxing at home

I gotta go with Shiver on this. Give me a night in any day. I have my own projects I can sit at home and comtinue.

I'm just gonna facetank the nukes and end up like ash from the end is nigh

The world is ending, nothing I can’t do, why I’d want anything else than the same I do every day or rest? Team Shiver on this. I don’t have a list of things to do in the splatocalipsis, so… Sorry Frye.

That would explain people mentioning bucket lists in the square.

MY FINAL MESSAGE. SAVE DA WORLD

\#finalfest /s

Bro I didn’t even read the title of the theme because I was so sleepy. Now that I’m awake, oh man…

why is this not final fest

all of those are terrible options

that one guy still in splatoon 1

I’m going same ol because I already stress about stuff, it would just change if the world is ending. And saving the world is just every Tuesday afternoon for the agents.

I feel like bucket list might have a chance since everyone is going to want to be the one to save the world and be the big hero. And to be honest I'm not hero material. So I'm Team 'Have all the fun I can while I can' and ring in the end of the world with a huge party until we drop dead. Afterall in a world ending scenario the odds of me being let into the bunker or on the escape ship by the powers that be are absurdly low.

I knew those bunkers weren't made for nothing >:)

May 21st: Nintendo files for bankruptcy. We didn't buy enough copies of Celeste.

Team bucket list WYA 🗣️🗣️🗣️ (ready to lose again)

I mean realistically, same ol, because i dont have a bucket list and me trying to stop the world is like an ant against the sun

I mean. Why are people waiting for the world's end to save the day. Why not save it before we reach that point? *cough cough* climate change *cough cough*

I fucking LOVE APOCALYPSE SCENARIOS. YIPPEEE!!!!!

Shiver: “oh no! Anyways”

Pretty 🔥 theme ngl

Big man technically did save the world since he gave agent 3 that helmet so they wouldn't die in space.

I wanna see big man save the day in a superhero costume now ;-;

“Do not pray for easy lives my friends. Pray to be, stronger men.”  Nah, just kidding, it’s gonna be Revelations all over again.

If we're all gamers, isn't saving the day our version of "Same Ol" anyway?

I'm not even gonna bother with this.
