Most likely looking too far into this but.. you ever look at Squidbeak’s ink colors?
In the first game we have og agent three with green ink, which is also commonly used to represent inklings/squids in official arts as well as the Race War.
For octolings/octopi, they are usually depicted with red or pink inks. Warm or inverse colors, essentially.
For agent four, their ink is usually a yellow-orange color in official art (+section one), but section two onwards they have all cool colors. Also, when it comes to fighting Octavio (+the last section), they choose the color green. But why would they change their color to that in the most important parts of that game? Why not use yellow-orange like they are usually depicted with? More on this later.
Octo Expansion comes around, and we see agent eight with pink ink, as expected for an octoling. Agent three is also seen with their green ink from the first game. But, during the inner three fight, they’re orange instead. This could just be a reference to the first game’s colors as eight has blue, but what if it’s more?
Now let’s look at the third game. New agent three with yellow ink. Close to green, but a warm color like red… or pink.
What I’m trying to get at is, what if these colors are meant to symbolize Squidbeak’s change in heart? Originally they were meant to exterminate Octarians, but now they are working together to (presumably) bring peace to both species and promote unity. To show this, their ink colors move away from the infamous green to a more “neutral” color. Which has a chance of implying that:
three being orange in the inner fight might mean that any hate they could have had for eight is resolved, and that fight is more for the fun of it than hate for each other
four possibly had a more positive idea of octolings until section two, where they no longer had warm colors. Possibly because of the scrolls and hypnotized Callie. The final stages could have too been the last straw leading them to change all the way to green
Just somethin’ to think about.
