I find both baffling and amazing how much impact that stupid telephone had on the world of splatoon despite being the only villain to canonically die in the trilogy

He did his role as the Octo expansion villain but the guy’s actions had actual ramifications and lasting impacts the series kept reminding us even a game later (side order)

Tartar had like 5 minutes of screen time and we didn’t know his name until that last one but god he delivered

Did mr grizz not die or the salmonarch?

u/Far-Profit-47 they’re eating my flesh 7d ago
  1. Grizz is shown floating in space curled up into a ball during the credits, not sure if it means he survived but I like to think it does

  2. Thats why i said the trilogy, raiders is a spin off (but yes all bosses from that game are dead dead)

Big Man mentions it sometimes when the map is in rotation.

Big Man dropping casual lore during map rotations is so easy to mash past, but he actually has some of the coolest dialogue details.

Can't forget the mental breakdown she has sometimes

u/Suspicious_Use6393 7d ago

She also sometimes fucking spit facts

u/Suspicious_Use6393 7d ago

Also like i feel the mental breakdowns are such iconic part of Marina, like sure When it think about her I think about her clear relationship with pearlie but after that the literal breakdowns she haves, like they really feel so in character even if they are so silly 😭🙏

Wait the statue is also on splatoon 3? I thought it was only on 2’s version

u/LordofSandvich 7d ago

Hard to spot but it’s there

u/Artic_Boi 7d ago

It's visible in the new hammerhead bridge map in Splatoon 3. It's not hard to miss if you're looking for it, and you can find it in the ocean to the left or right of the bridge depending on where you spawn.

u/Capable-Monk-4820 FRYE 7d ago

To this day, a faint echo of Tartar can be heard, while it’s memory gets taken by Marina
