Bwaahhhhh get agent Four'd!
So i know i already did a question but you responded so good tho the last one and i can't resist so what would Splatoon 1 squidbeak splatoon think about the new Splatoon 3 (especially about octavio and lots of octos being part of it)
Sorry if it's so long🥲
im curious to know if you mean the new squidbeak splatoon from splat 1 (consisting of cap'n cuttlefish, agent 3, callie, and marie) or the original squidbeak splatoon so I'll give you my thoughts for both!
splat 1's NSS wouldn't feel too different I don't think, Cuttlefish is the one who would have to adjust the most since hes old and very clearly is still a little stuck in the old ways of the world, so the addition of octolings would throw him off. Especially if this is pre-final boss fight when the calamari inkantation is played to the octarians, since that was when the movement of octolings reintegrating into inkling society started, and in the octo expansion cuttlefish is only fine with octolings if they've shown to be fans of the inkantation ("no fan of the inkantation is a foe of mine, i don't see species.") but I honestly think three, callie, and marie don't really care about octolings joining the NSS. they're all young and don't really get the whole great turf war ideology anymore so why would there really be a problem with having octolings on the team?
However having OCTAVIO join them even just temporarily for the splat 3 final boss,,,, I think they would all be apprehensive about that. past agent three would be like "so I fought this guy for him to just join the good side in the end? i did this for nothing???"
Past Callie and Marie would be confused as to why he's helping them, again if this is pre-final boss they wouldn't understand his reasoning for wanting to help, and of course this is pre splat 2 so the callie kidnapping incident hasn't happened yet. basically what I'm trying to say is past callie and marie don't understand why octavio is here in splat 3.
As for the original Squidbeak Splatoon, again Cuttlefish would be shocked as to why the "enemy" is a part of the NSS when the reason for the SS existing was to fight the octarians. The other members of the original SS are Shellendorf, who is related to Sheldon of Ammo Knights, Judd the cat, and two unnamed inklings. Shellendorf we don't really know much about, his backstory isn't really revealed to us so I'm not sure how he would feel seeing the NSS be so diverse. I think he might have been a more peaceful minded guy so perhaps he would see the unity between species as a good thing? who knows! Judd was also suspected to only be a part of the SS because he liked to judge things, he didn't really serve a purpose on the team besides... idk being a cat? sleeping? making biscuits?? so I don't think he really cares At All about the inkling vs octoling thing.
Overall the theme is really just seeing how a person changes overtime, cuttlefish went from being the captain of a team who fought against the octarians to a kind old man who is starting to accept the world for how it has changed. and he himself has changed too, he doesn't think all octolings are the enemy anymore, he even has befriended some and worked with them. Octavio went from being a controlling dictator to a shameful outcast who regrets the pain he caused from trying to prove octarians were the superior society. Agent 3 went from being a rookie teenage turf war battler to Captain 3 of the NSS who has the most experience on the team and is crazy good at what they do.
Everyone has experienced change in some way, and if their past selves met their future selves, they wouldn't understand why things turned out the way they did because they haven't lived through that experience yet. They might even think "there's no way I'll turn out like that" until they go through something that makes them see things from another perspective, and it changes their mind. there's a reason why the NSS doesn't look the same as the original SS did, different people have different skill sets that are useful to the team and the type of threats they experience in modern day are different than those of the great turf war's time. as society changes and evolves, so must the New Squidbeak Splatoon.
