i am going insane. been scrounging for all the new bancalawalker splatband lore. and now, there is exactly ONE character i know absolutely nothing about. and it's TOSH. why is the universe so cruel to me
@KitanoStan LMAO yeah, diss-pair are the other ones i don't get used to. for the most part i'm fine with the localized names, but diss-pair still throws me off to this day
@KitanoStan damn, sorry about that. at this point it might just be better to wait -- i'm not adding much bancalawalker information yet until i have reliable translations for all of them, mostly just unknown instruments, species, and names in the case of riot act
@KitanoStan like Oonie also took some getting used to but she's a character i think about frequently enough that at this point i've fully adjusted to it
@KitanoStan LMAO yeah, zuzu is one of the localized names i still haven't gotten used to. kind of in that awkward spot of "she's a character i've thought about enough that i'm used to her old name, but not one enough that her localized name has caught on for me yet"
@rassicas do we have a known species for tosh? i feel like they've kind of been a point of Who The Hell Knows for so long that i'd love to get some closure there
@KitanoStan it seems to update around christmas, since it did in 2022 (that's when we got the english names) and 2023 (that's when we got the splatoon 3 bands that existed at the time)
so maybe before too long???
@KitanoStan my favorite members of ink theory have changed a lot over time. early on it was kitamura and maya, after a while it moved to yoko and karen, but i think these days it's probably oonie (who's always been Up There for sure)
sorry zuzu
@KitanoStan i got into splatoon literally the day after the first run of the chicken vs. egg splatfest (i thought it'd run for 48 hours, but i missed it completely)
very quickly i became a devoted fan of ink theory and i've kinda just stuck with them since
@rassicas i bring this up because kitamura, who was generically listed as a sea urchin in haikarawalker, was given a more specific species this go around. curious if more out there inkling designs like mizo and keaton have specific species in mind
@rassicas it IS interesting getting confirmation that certain inklings/octolings are explicitly different species of squid and octopus, since i don't think that's something we really had any evidence of before. curious if this might retroactively apply to characters from previous games...
