I was replaying the story mode of Splatoon 3 with my partner and they had a theory that the octarians we fight might be the last of Octavio’s troops.
Since they said that it hasn’t left my head. It just makes sense. Most of his troops have dealt with agents 3 and 4, those who heard the inkcantation have wandered off into the metro which seems to be connected to octo canyon or octo valley, maybe both and ended up satanized, and now they’ve been furried.
Octavio doesn’t seem like he’d normally leave his post unless absolutely necessary so him tracking down Cuttlefish to find out what happened to his people means he didn’t really have much left. He was desperate.
