Also something had to slip and in this case it was the special only on 2 weapons. Inkjet seems pretty obviously based off jetpacks but if anyone has extra details about it, feel free to mention in the replies. Comments have pointed out the back looks like a coffee machine, and inkjet is named after a printer type.
Also yes Reefslider is an Akira slide.
The propane tank on Hydra could actually be a fire extinguisher, in the French localisation, the weapon is called "Extinteur" a pun on "Extincteur" aka a fire extinguisher and "tinter" aka tint aka painter. That would push the fire fighting theme further
If I recall correctly, there are parts on the back of the inkjet that look like a coffee machine?
I think its already known, but inkjet is also named after a type of printer.
parts of the inkjet look like an electric coffee grinder (on the backpack portion) following up more coffee related themes like the espresso spawners, hero mode kettles, and the coffee dispenser for mode select in the lobby
Another point for Bamboozler is that its partially based off the M14 rifle. It's use in lore is similar to the use of the M14 IRL. The iron sights it has are pretty much the same as the iron sights on the M14. The full name of the bamboozler is, "Bamboozler 14 mk I" and the 14 comes from the M14, and you could argue the mk I comes from the upgraded form of the M14, the MK14
This video is the reason why I love Splatoon's Unique weapon choices. They aren't normal, they're goofy, casual items that are tuned to be "weapons"
This design is also ripe for new ideas and wild stuff, like my friend and I we thought of a new splatling inspired by a teapot, which would fire off a really straight flurry similar to the stingray with high dps. It's so fun to come up with new ideas lmao.
Edit: I forgot to put the design inspiration lol
Reminds me of KND’s (kids next door) 2x4 technology.
@@SansioKongCountry
Let me think of a design…
A Splataneel (the name could improve)
A splatana with a crazy fast swiping speed that has high damage, but is only good for close range. It’ll have long thin blades angled facing back.
Obviously inspired by an eel
I have the idea of a brush-type weapon based on a motorcycle, with the “tip” of the brush literally being the front wheel
I think it'd be funny if there was a Trident weapon class, but the vanilla one is essentially just a fork (maybe the second version could be a pitchfork or spork)
Actually I would say that crab tank makes me think about bakugan, a toy which is a sphere but could change into an animal if contacted to metal.
Also for angle shooter. Although it does reference a marker pen, it is more likely to be based on "Magic ink" produced by Teranishi Chemical.
It also looks like a crash test dummy given its appearance
Oh shit we've got a bakugan and a beyblade special.
when I was young, I'd steal my brother's Bakugan and try to figure out how to return them to their spherical shape... Ah, the satisfaction of doing it and then placing it on the fridge.
Wait you’re meant to use metal? I always threw them at the ground to open them
One more thing about the Grizzco Stringer: the nozzles resemble the shape of the Big Dipper constellation when aiming, which is part of the Ursa Major constellation - also known as the Big Bear
Aaaaaaaah 😂
God i love details that splatoon makes that are so nitty gritty
*ROAR* yep thats a big bear
Oh my god that’s so smart 😭
God, now that's a spectacular hidden detail! Bless the devs
Also for Dapple Dualies, I believe they’re a reference to the dappling technique in art, which can be performed by flicking a toothbrush covered in paint. That’s also why their alternative kit had Nouveau in the name, as all the art inspired weapons have Nouveau in their name (Tri Slosh, Inkbrush, Octobrush, Ballpoint)
Yep! The art weapons have Nouveau kits because the in game company that designed them, Nouveau, is primarily an art supplies company
@@LiliumOrientalis Ooooh neat! 😊
Is incredible the way every weapon brand (and gear brand too) has a lore of what they create, Nouveau creates art supplies, Custom focuses on industrial supplies (gas tanks, drills, etc), Neo has more of an everyday items catalog (pen sharpeners andhair driers) , and I can't really explain what Deco focuses on but I'll say it's more of an not-so everyday items but not-so industrial supplies.
And then there's our beloved Toni Kensa just being elegant and fancy
@@PixelCollie Not sure if you already knew, but the Snipewriter is actually a Nouveau weapon, so I'm like 90% sure it will.
@@sillykola50 the splatana stamper and angle shooter are also nouveau items, you can tell because nouveau has a triangle shaped logo on all of their weapons
12:10 Given how quick and blink you'll miss it the explanation big bubbler was I'd like to state more details of it. It's a Beyblade launcher, more specifically a Right Spin Light Launcher sold and used at the beginning years of the Burst iteration. And instead of a Beyblade it launches a twirl fan which are known to have less descent than a normal one.
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM BEYBLADE
@@meta4240 SAME MAN I HAVE ONE OF THOSE ITS ALMOST A ONE TO ONE REPLICA
also you are very wise in the ways of engineering
it could be based on those toys you launch into the air with the little launchers thats actually so cool
YES! THANK GOD IM NOT THE ONLY FAN WHO SAW THIS DETAIL!
I love to think when the humans went extinct the Inklings found all the stuff left behind and just converted them into weapons. It’s probably outright mentioned and canon in game in one of the sunken scrolls or something but I don’t remember.
i believe it is
yep yep
Actually it’s probably a mix of that and the fact that many weapon brands are actually other manufacturers cashing in on the turf war trend. For example Nouveau is an art supply manufacturer so all of their weapons are based on art supplies.
Also it could be more that they based them on the original stuff they found, combined with the (spoilers for 3)
'Dream' they inherited from humans that made them gravitate to more human-ish stuff
Yes
My favorite part about the REEF LUX is just that it's based off of a childhood drink
My favorite part is all the wepon are super serious stuff while the specials are goofy kids things
It's not for kids though?
This the first time im hearing that its for your stomach, i used to just drink it as a nice snack as a kid
@@lorenzoniccoli99ln Think they just mean they hears of it most when they were a child, like me
Not only is splatoon a unique game but the weapons are unique too, also both the flingza and squeezer are made by the same brand thus both having a long range and short range function, and the middle of the splat bomb is actually a fish bag
I wonder if bp is also made by the same company
Ballpoint is made by nouveau. For every weapon except splat, the name that appears in their alt kit is the company that made it. splat weapons like the mini splatling and the splattershot use clothing brands instead (except for the jr. which uses the name custom because of a mistranslation)
@Megami wait what's the cjr called in Japanese?
@@neru8104 Maple Shooter. It's a reference to the maple leaf, a symbol used to designate different types of drivers in Japan. A green/yellow maple leaf indicates a student driver, while a red/orange leaf indicates and elderly driver. The green/yellow maple leaf has evolved to become a generally recognize symbol of "novice."
@Megami ahh ok. I don't think it's really a mistranslation as much as it is NOA not knowing what else to call it. Since in the US at least, those symbols don't really exist, so calling it something that references maple leaves wouldn't make sense here (also bc Canada has a lot of maple leaf stuff so it'd just get confused with "Canadian jr" probably) so custom was probably the best they could do while making it make sense. Also before splatoon I had no idea those "beginner" symbols even existed and what the squid version was so
One of my favorite 'references' is that when you dodge roll with the dualies squelchers, your inkling/octoling holds them together in the shape of the Dual Squelcher from Splatoon 1
You can even hear it click together and click apart when you use it.
@@Betsy7Cat i'd been wondering what those sounds were! thats so neat
The Bamboozler is actually based off a classic squirt gun, where you have to first suck up water from the front by pulling on the handle. You push forward on the handle in order to squirt a single shot of water at a target. Kind of like those little water droppers you find in science labs.
Also the iron sights (especially the front sight post) are based on the sights used on older AR-15s, minus the carry handle
i also thou gn t squiffer was based on a fishing rod too
i think another fun thing to mention abt squeezer is its shooting modes. i really like how when it’s in painting mode, the range gradually decreases just like how a champagne bottle will pop out and shoot a bunch of champagne and then die down
or maybe the first shot is simulating the cork being shot out
I don't think its champagne. The wrapper on the bottle looks like the sort of thing you'd see on a condiment or maybe something like soy sauce or vinegar.
@@ASpaceOstrich they literally say in the video it's a champagne bottle. also things can look similar but it's a lot more likely that the squeezer is based on a champagne bottle due to its design And painting mode
@@guilhermecardoso2365 That's exactly what it does. It's why the first shot of the Squeezer has pinpoint accuracy, because it's the cork of the bottle.
The Hero Shot was based on the P90 in Splatoon 2, but it's not based on a specific gun with its 3 design. The .52 and .96 Gal are also based on a Milkor MGL grenade launcher, just using a water cooler jug instead of a cylinder. The Tetra Dualies are also based on double-barrel derringer pistols.
I would also like to add that the flingza roller is designed after a fountain pen specifically
Actually the Hero Shot in 3 might be a reference to the HK G11
czcams.com/video/QGKcvM2Hh4g/video.html
@@RockyRockthrow Huh, when I drew it, I turned it into a 9mm handgun.
The Nozzlenoses are also revolvers. They're the closest in shape to a real gun, save for the aforementioned second model Hero Shot.
It DOES
I think the Crab Tank is based on toys that curl up into a ball, since it's able to curl up into a perfect sphere
You're right, it's definitely inspired by Bakugan to some degree
Some other little bonus details I think are fun:
The Aerosprays names, the MG, RG, and PG, are references to Gundam Force figurines, which are referred to in various "grades" based on scale. MG = Master Grade, 1:100 models, RG = Real Grade, 1:144 models, and PG = Perfect Grade: 1:60 models. As for why there's a Gundam reference there, well, customizing those models using paint from an airbrush a a pretty popular thing in the Gundam fandom especially over in Japan. Over here the in the west, we do the same, though it's more popular with Warhammer 40K models to my knowledge.
While the N-Zap '85 references the NES Zapper's original release in 1985. They were released again with a new orange colour in 1989, hence the name N-Zap '89. The N-Zap '83 refers not to an actual NES Zapper, but rather the release date of the original Famicom, which was in 1983. Its look is also themed after the Famicom's gold and red colouring.
Specifically the Ballpoint Splatling is a reference to a specific variety of ballpoint pen which contains multiple different colours of ink. They're very popular with kids.
The reason the Tetra Dualies are based off shoes is because they're manufactured by Tentatek, the clothing brand, which mainly sells shoes (though they have some clothes and headgear as well like all clothing brands.) Notably Tentatek doesn't make the Tentatek Splattershot, it's just a sponsored collab with the weapon brand, Splat.
Also, the Tetra Dualies are based off of an actual pistol with two barrels, that was popular because of it's small size. The twin barrels mean that you could slot two bullets at the same time and have them oriented in a vertical manner, unlike revolvers which need a bit of horizontal space as well, meaning it was thin, easy to conceal, and gave you a back-up shot if the first didn't work according to plan. It was apparently very popular with women too, as an added fun fact
I always assumed thats what the Ballpoint was based on. It simply being a ballpoint pen never sat right with me, it always felt off. I think that's why! I used to have one of those as a kid which explains why it looked familiar
I don't know if anyone else has thought of it, but it seems the splat bomb also resembles a common egg drop technique
oh my god it does, i’d never thought of that before.
Bit late but yeah the triangles are just stable and sound so if you were to toss something and not want the insides to break (like if you were doing an egg drop, or throwing a bomb :O ) then that’s the shape you would go for
1:28 I don't think the gun is intended to resemble the P90 anymore, or at least the resemblance is much clearer in the Hero Shot Splatoon 2 model
Yeah to me it looks more like a Magpul FMG-9 but without the stock.
It kinda looks more like a tazer
the fact that the Splatoon 2 Hero Shot is LITERALLY JUST A P90 is dumb in my opinion
Fun fact: the tetra dualies are not just based off of the shoes, the gun is also based off of a 45-70 derringer survival gun, it has two chambers and the gun has 2 separate mini ink tanks in each dualie
My favourite reference is the Squeezer, because its unique firing mode is based on the fact that if you open a bottle of champagne (which is carbonated) that you've shaken too long, the pressure from the carbonated gas can cause the cork to pop out and fly a little bit, and then the drink sprays out, which explains the Squeezer's firing modes: You get one strong, long range, accurate shot, and then the rest of your shooting is just ink fizzing out in a cone.
I like that the Sloshing Machine has a little coin slot on it because it makes it more like a washing machine you see at a laundromat since they're coin operated
Pfffffft imagine having to carry a bunch of coins each match to operate it 😂
I think those things on the grizzco stamper are copper coils used to create magnetic force, that's why they glow hot and rev up even harder. It still has the pill vials but in the hilt of the blade
I think its supposed to be honey cuz hes a bear
One of my favorite parts about the Tetra Dualies is that they're the only weapon in the game to not be produced by a weapons manufacturer. Instead, they're made by Tentatek, a clothing brand most known for its footwear, hence the shoe-inspired design on the weapon.
Wait what about the Tentatek splattershot? Or did this comment come out before the weapon was relased
12:57 I get it, but I wish you'd shown what the actual Ink Storm object looks like. To me, it kind of looks like a nuclear bomb, which is supported by how it shoots up, leaving a trail behind, and makes a cloud, kind of like a mushroom cloud.
On inkepidia it says its based off some kind of animal I don't remember which one exactly
@@ink3487I'm assuming you're talking about this quote from the Ink Storm page:
"The throwable capsule is based on a sea hare, a mollusk known for releasing clouds of ink when disturbed."
1:28 splatoon devs are so clever, I noticed while playing the story mode that the moai statues looked 3D printed. Seeing the hero shot replica have printer filament makes so much sense
tf are you the Eye of Sauron.
The Nautilus is also based on hand-cranked craft drills such as the model made by Fiskars. The Luna Blaster is also based on certain kinds of vintage hair salon dryers. The Tri-Stringer is based specifically on bow-fishing equipment (yes, that's a thing!) and both stringers are partly based on NERF bows. The Tri-Stringer is also built more like a traditional/target longbow with stabilizers while the REEF-LUX is based on compound bows.
found the comment pointing out the reef-lux is a compound bow! my girl scout childhood came in handy haha
The company that makes the Tri Stringer used to make fishing equipment iirc
For the Splat Charger, I think with the pump on the back it's meant to resemble one of those water guns that you push on the pump to release air from within the tube, then dip in the water so when you pull the pump back the gun fills with water. Since the entire splat weapon series (splattershot, Nova, Jr) seem to be based around water guns, I think the charger is meant to be one of the pump/tube water guns.
Also, besides just being a ball toss, the Wave Breaker reminds me in shape and structure of badminton shuttlecock, as well as the name literally being the same as those star shaped wave breakers commonly used on Japanese shorelines
A note about the dapple dualies is they’re called that because dappling is a meathkf in art of using tooth brushes to fling paint at your canvas, usually to make stars and the like. It’s why it has the nouveau alt kit.. I also always thought the bloblobber was one of those like foot sauna things you soak your feet in to help you relax.
Just a little extra detail for Range Blaster, the spraycan on the back is slightly larger with a little yellow ring around it. This resembles an "extra value!" tagline commonly found on these enlarged cans such as on pringles for example.
Since names where mentioned for a couple weapons, the brushes in japanese are named after artists, with Inkbrush being Pablo (Picasso) and Octobrush being Hokusai (Katsushika)
It's probably been said by now, but the exterior of the Grizzco Splatana is a centrifuge, which is used in medical testing, fitting with the medical theme of Grizzco supplies. I would wager this also hints at the possible nature of some story and lore details about Grizzco and their functions.
I love the weapon designs for Splatoon, so glad someone finally made a video on it!! :) One extra detail about the Big Swig-the roller itself is a paper towel roll! (you can see the texture better if you run out of ink)
It looks more like those old rubber pencil grips to me! It even squashes/stretches like them between when you're holding it and actively using it :D
(plus it also has the little spot thats ususally the brand name carved into it!)
I think it's a paper straw
The Aerospray airbrush reference goes even deeper with the titles for each aerospray (MG, RG, PG) being references to one of Japans favorite pass times: model kit building. The titles themselves referencing Gundam model kits specifically and their scales of Master Grade, Real Grade, and Perfect Grade. So far the kits even match their respective grades quality: the MG is fairly solid(detailed sturdy inner frame) with a good sub and while not the highest quality special(less surface detail) it has plenty of it while the RG has an extremely good special (extreme surface detail) but is pretty fragile(small delicate inner frames) due to a weak sub. If the trend continues the PG will have both an *excellent* sub and special (incredible surface/inner frame detail and sturdy frame) but have a big BIG special cost(perfect grades are really big and expensive)
YO WHAT I BUILD GUNPLA how did I not notice this 🫠
as an addendum I don't know what nickname people came up with for the aerospray PG in S2 but if my prediction is true it better be called the perfect aerospray this time
About the Ballpoint, it’s worth mentioning that it’s based specifically off of a MULTICOLOR pen, in which each color has to get its own ink cartridge with its own ball-point applicator. The levers on the original push their respectively colored ink cartridge forward and out the hole at the front, and only one can poke out at a time. Pushing another forward will cause the first to snap back into the housing under spring load.
The really funny thing about the Super Soaker CPS 2000, the thing the Pro is based off of, is a very powerful water gun with the caveat of ALSO having poor ammo management.
I’ve also seen triangular wet floor signs, and always figured Splat Bombs were roundabout references to those. To be sure, you should be cautious where you’re standing around BOTH.
As someone who's grandfather was a ship worker, he recognized the propeller on the torpedo immediately. The three blade propeller is optimal for traveling at sea.
13:40 splatbomb could also reference those competitions where people try to make a structure out of straws, sticks and other materials for an egg to survive a fall. Most of them end up like piramids with softeners on the edges, just like splatbombs
killer wails functional design is also potentially a reference to "psycho bits" or "fin funnels" from the gundam universe that long story short are basically self proppeled space laser guns that special people can control with their mind while piloting a mobile suit. If the devs decide to just upgrade from gundam kits to full gundam refernce with an aerospray kit or any other weapon this is likely the special it will get along with a "nu" title
I like to believe that a lot of the weapons are the result of finding "human relics" and, since the Inklings aren't the brightest bunch and Turf War is so ingrained into their daily life style, they assumed these must have been ancient weaponry for human Turf Wars. It would also explain why most of the older weapons are based on painting tools or weaponry (Since they'd need to have been developed for the Great Turf War) while more recent additions are more everyday items, when they're being developed for sport.
I always thought the Luna Blaster was based off of Lazer Guns you’d see at neon-light laser tag arenas
My friend made a super cool observation and it's that it kinda resembles a water molecule, feeding into the science-y design and also why is it so strong (water kills inklings and yada yada)
I would say the reason that the blaster has an open section is a reference to the rat rod, which is a subculture of hotrodding. They tend to take the tops and sides off of the fronts of builds leaving only the grill and headlights. The exposed pipes on both blasters are also a reference to hotrodders using external exhaust piping.
I also have some personal ideas as to the inspirations behind some elements, so here they are! The Crab Tank may be based off of Bakugan and subsequent magnet-triggered pop-open toys! The way it pops up and opens from its rolling state definitely reminds me of them! Also the Big Swig Roller has a giant bendy straw holding up the roller sponge! The way the ink flows down on the Splash Wall and the way the "arms" are modeled makes me think of irrigation tubing, which is held by plastic parts and irrigates plants from holes along its length!
The Splat Bomb's square pyramid design is actually a really nice detail. The design makes it so that when the bomb impacts the ground a lot of that force will go into the tubes around the sides instead of directly into the ink bag in the middle, keeping it from bursting prematurely. I'm pretty sure a pyramid type design is actually used in egg dropping competitions to keep the egg safe.
1:46 him referring to the handle on the squeezer as a wooden pocket knife just made me realise that the handles more likely just one of those bottle openers
10:07 fun fact! The internal rainmaker name is Shachihoko so that makes total sense to me
I think the Luna blaster is meant to have 50s/60s vibes since people were obsessed with futuristic designs and the space race would have been going on.
While it's not necessarily important in regards to the design, I think it's also interesting to note that the three Aerospray kits (MG, RG, PG) are all references to different plastic model series by Bandai. The MG is Master Grade, the RG is Real Grade, and the PG is Perfect Grade. The name coincides with the main method of painting model kits being an airbrush, with the Japanese name even being the Pro-Modeller.
Suprised you didn't mention on the dapple dualies that toothbrushes are sometimes used as painting tools. Often the brush of it is flicked to get a certain splatter effect
I actually think the Rapid Blasters are, or at least were, based on nail guns. They're hard to pin down (ironically), but if you look at different models of framing nail guns you can see they have the same aggressively flared tips that the Rapids have - it would also explain their Splatoon 1 and 2 designs, which were a lot less smooth and didn't have the same orange tip. That being said, it's entirely possible that the reason for their Splatoon 3 redesigns was to play into the nerf/airsoft theming mentioned in this video, since that's a lot more identifiable and they did always seem a little out-of-place otherwise.
This video is literally the most original video I’ve ever see. And even with a collab with Nin10doland. Keep it working, Chara!
11:26 I think the ‘vials’ on the grizzco splatana are actually copper coils (aka electromagnets) which combined make for a big electric engine
They are, the vials are on the handal
For the hero shot, its only the S2 version that is a P90. also unlike what COD would have you think its actually a PDW(Aka SMG with slightly bigger bullet). the S3 version appears to be a Heckler and Koch G11 assault rifle. great video though:)
Edit: its Koch not Goch, silly me
The P90 in fact fires much smaller bullets than most SMGs, at significantly higher velocity.
@satannstuff the bullet is smaller in diameter, but the case length and overall cartridge length is longer than most traditional rimless pistol cartridges
@@sharkwaffle1582 Well yes, they have to put the propellant needed to make it go fast *somewhere* so the case is longer but you're not exactly shooting people with whole cartridges now are you?
@satannstuff Well obviously not. I will admit I phrased it a little weirdly
I kinda wish you went into how the crab tank could possibly have been inspired by Bakugan with how it can curl into a ball, that's one detail I never hear people talk about. It could just be a coincidence but the vibes really are there
5:52 Hydra Splatlings: I bring pro-PAIN and pro-PAIN accessories
6:39 Splat Dualies are paintball markers, complete with CO2 tanks. ✌️
14:05 I remember going to an aquarium one time and thinking “oh damn an autobomb”
5:47 - I can agree that the hydra splatling is a firefighter reference with the firefighter hose and fire hydrant. If you ever looked, you can see on the side of the weapon some symbols, some of them looked like warnings, such as "Flammable", things like this are also seen on propane tanks. Thought that little addition was neat.
I love how many of the weapons have very clear inspirations (down to even specific models for some of the splattershots) then the splat charger and mini splatling are just "yeah these are guns made into water guns"
4:57 I knew this since my mom has a bucket exactly like the Tri-Slosher, it even has the same color scheme and around the same size!
5:46 hydra is actually called “firefighter splatling” In French.
This is really cool! Never knew this game had so many details and references like this!!
I've Waited for this video for so Long
Cool part about the stringers I just noticed is that Tri is based off of a long bow and Reef-lux off of a compound bow. Compound bows have wheels and pulleys to make the string easier to pull, which is a cool reason to why it charges and fires faster!
Great video, I think the only reference missed is the Crab Tank which is just a crab shaped Bakugan
4:15 it's called the snipewriter *5H* which means it's based on a 5h pencil, not a #2 pencil (or a 2b pencil) that's also why it's tan colored, as non-2b pencils tend to be that color
Also the 5H could also mean 5 hits like how many shots it takes
Idk if anyone else caught it, but the grizz brella HAS and umbrella in the front. Its tiny! and I believe they’re based off the ones you put in drinks/desserts for decor.
I always thought the blaster was based off drums.
Each shot begins with a bass drum (the bigger drum with the pedal) and ends with a snare drum blast or a clap sound.
Wii Music also has the same flame pattern on the Rock drum set, and the weapon front looks kinda like a drum
12:04 I've seen people say the slide that Reefslider does is a reference to the Akira bike slide.
The end where the inkling turns is definitely a reference
11:40 why was there a poop sound?😂
I love seeing the weapon references and sharing them with friends, but I had no idea of just how much detail a single weapon could have.
Amazing video as always, I admire all the research, it definitely paid off!
so glad I found this videos, most weapons I knew the inspiration off, but other weapons like the sploosh o matici had know idea but now thankfully i know.
keep up the great videos
One weapon I always wish they would make is a water flosser. I even had the idea that It could be like a jet squelcher with a thin but long trail (possibly even thinner and longer then squelch), with the caveat that it has a high fire rate but low single bullet damage, making it EXTREMELY good at poking and making it a "get outta here" tool, but bad at actual slaying at a range.
12:26 Fun fact: The Ball of the Wave Breaker has a Glittery Lollipop texture because some Pop and Catch toys came with Lollipops inside their handles.
two of my favorite splatoon youtubers collabing??? dream come true
Very interesting to hear about all the references. A lot of thought went into this. Cool video!
Wow, this actually blew me away. I was expecting the video to basically be "water gun, pencil, bathtub, paintbrush, windshield wiper..." but I ended up learning so much about the weapons. I feel dumb for never noticing a ton of these details. I love that they turned recognizable things into weapons; not only does it make sense for a silly post-apocalyptic world, but it's SO creative.
Neat thing about the Dapple Dualies, it's also a reference to a painting technique that uses toothbrush and creates an effect called dapples. This fits with it's in universe manufacturer being Nouveau, who are notable for making weapons based on art supplies.
I'm not sure if the branded version of weapons are made by those companies or rather made in collaboration with said companies. The second makes more sense since there's a ton of kensa versions in 2 yet that brand hasn't been part of the original creation of all of them obviously.
@@Lulink013 There's a big difference here. Kensa is a fashion company that got big enough to collaborate with weapons companies. Stuff like nouveau and foil are just weapons companies, so they specifically made the art supplies weapons and foil weapons (squeezer/flingza) respectively.
@@Lulink013 Third kits (Sheldons Picks/Kensa Collection) are always brand collaborations. Second kits depend on the original manufacturer. Splat branded weapons (the Splattershots, Splat Charger, Splat Roller, basically anything with the Splat prefix except the Brella) all have brand collaborations as their second kits, while other weapon brands (like Custom, Neo, Sorella, Nouveau, Foil, Deco) produce the second kits on their own.
In spite of its name, the Custom Splattershot Jr is not produced by Custom. That's a localisation change. The original names are "Fresh Leaves Shooter" and "Autumn Leaves Shooter" in reference to stickers placed on the cars of new and elderly drivers, respectively.
7:23 that's not a regular blaster that's the old range blaster lol.
its been too long since the old model editing mistake sorry
@@ProChara maybe you unconsciously didn't show the new blaster because it looks awful.
I have been waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint. Good stuff to both you and the guest
This was the type of Collab I didn't know I needed until I saw this video
7:50 SQUID LAUNCHERRR OH YES
8:18
Finally
A splatoon weapon with an N-Strike barrel lug
reeflux is also based on a knot assist used in fishing, fitting with the theme of the stringers being based on fishing tools, and splat dualies really remind me of the bop it! toys for some reason
ultra stamp also has a balloon pump on the back
This was an amazing vid Chara and Nin10, great collab and hope we get more amazing vids with you two! :D
6:19 bottom right. Just take a look 😅
Zipcaster could also be partially based on Luffy from One Piece. He can stretch his arms out like zipcaster and in one of the zipcaster levels in the singleplayer (I think its the one you use octobrush in), theres a ton of boxes behind the goal which give you 56 power egg in total. In japanese this can be read as go-mu which is probably a reference to Luffy as he gains his stretching powers from the gomu gomu no mi (or gum gum fruit in english)
This video was great! So many that i didn't know about
I also remember that Zipcaster could be in reference to something else but i understand why it wasn't in the final video lmao
Ok I never thought about the weapons like this, especially the squeezer one, pretty interesting video
The squeezer is completely the most obvious one in the game lmao
3:52 Isn’t his cane actually just his old Bamboozler
Can't believe he didn't mention how the luna blaster is also based on water molecules
Is it?
@@agent3689 yeah, the main body is the oxygen molecule and the 2 little orbs that stick out are the hydrogen molecules
@@RByers404 Oh my god.
I always thought it was just an oddly shaped hair dryer.
Goes to show how unique our individual imagination can be.
Not only is the explosher based on a type of heater, but when you hold it, it actually creates the wavy hot air effect in front of it, which is another super cool detail.
Another thing I notice on the carbon roller is that it has a shield behind the roller, much like the shields over bicycle wheels that prevent them from splashing you if you go over a puddle. No other roller has that shield.
The end of the splat roller has a coil that looks like the inside coil of one of those squeezing hand exercise things
Great video. I always loved the squiffer design the fact that it has cleaning bottle as the ink reservoir was always funny to me. I can’t wait to see more weapon designs in the future it’s something I’ve always liked .
14:57 The toxic mist is actually toxic because it principaly contains sweat from the inkling/octoling that uses it. Just imagine painting calmly and then you are surrounded by a massive cloud that smells like athlete armpit 💀
So basically, a Vaporized sweat bomb. 💀
3:46 O M G
🤯🤯🤯
7:14 Personally I always thought of that one scene towards the end of Johnny English Reborn, what with how flimsy it is. Though they haven't given it Tenta Missiles yet...
Another thing about the Big Bubbler the little propeller on it that shoots the top part up is actually a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's early prototypes for a flying machine most notably the spiral fin propeller
6:07 no its based off of the heavy from tf2
I'd love to see more videos like this! I'd be nice to see where the inspiration for other things come from, like bosses and character names.
Nice video! I really enjoyed that. Thanks Chara and Nin10doland!
I’ve always liked this aspect of the Splatoon series. It’s about time someone made a video covering it!
FUNNY SQUID GAME THE GOATS!!
