Inklinda no Gaiden: Teaser Trailer #1

***
My BFF (Best Frenemone Forever) is on an assignment SO top-secret that even SHE doesn’t know about it…

Squilma: Aight, you halibut-munchers, it’s just you and you and me…

Alpha and Beta stare at Squilma.

Alpha: Uh… RUDE!

Beta: She has a point, actually.

Alpha: Heheheh… “point”.

My BGF (Best Guy Friend) was saved from a fate worse than splatting, only to wind up in a DIFFERENT fate worse than splatting…

Harmony: Uh… does he, like, do that often?

Octanner: Yeah, just give him a minute or eight.

“Inklein”: [{Whaddaya expect?! This is a SUPER-RARE, mint-in-box, Sardinium Edition Meta-Squidkid figure, Goober! Can’t I have just THREE hours to drool over it, for fresh’s sake?!}]

Harmony: No! Not on the Zapfish plushes!

Octanner facepalms.

And my GBF (Goobery Boyfriend) can’t be within 3.8 cal-ometres of his GFF (Molinkular Inkling Doppelganger… okay, that one’s a stretch) without both their plot-convenient hyperpowers from destabilising the space-time cont-ink-uum…

Inkroy: -“Total Party Splat.”

Inklein: Silly Inkroy! This scene is from the Squidkid Saga Super-Shorts! Silly Ikayaki, hahaha!

Inklinda: Just… study your spellbook, sweetie.

Inklein: Oh, okay then!

Inklein picks up a book entitled “Player’s Handbook” and reads it upside-down.

So now, Octanner and I are on our way to Splatsville in order to-

Octanner: Hey, hey! Save SOME of the deets for, like, later or whatever, Lee!

Inklinda: Oh… sorry, haha.

“Inklein”: [{Silly Lindie, hahaha!}]

Inklinda: Wait… did you SERIOUSLY buy that stupid piece of shiny plastic, Fish-Breath?!

“Inklein”: [{Hey! I EARNT this fair and square!}]

Inklinda: That’s NOT what bothers me, Inkle-butt!

“Inklein”: [{Then what’s the probl-}]

Octanner: You removed it from the packaging and destroyed its collector value as a result.

“Inklein”: [{So? It’s a toy! It was born to be played with!}]

Inklinda: You don’t even have HANDS, Dumdum! AND you’re, like, two inches tall! How can you possibly PLAY with it?!

“Inklein”: [{Well, it’s a MECHA, so I can pilot it as a true-to-scale sized Squidkid. See?}]

”Inklein” leaps into the cockpit.

“Inklein”: [{“Never fear, Inkopolis! Squidkid is here to save you from Grilly the Salmonid!”}]

”Inklein” begins making garbled PEW-PEW-PEW sounds.

Inklinda: THIS isn’t gonna end well…

Inklein: [{Uh… I seem to be stuck in this thing… a little help?}]

The toy suddenly falls, pinning “Inklein” to the floor.

Octanner: You okay?

“Inklein”: [{Aw… the flashing light antenna fell off…}]

Inklinda: …or whatever.

The Squidkid Saga Trilogy all comes together full circle in… Inklinda no Gaiden: The Story Splatinues!

Inklinda’s voice: Actually, it’s just “Inklinda no Gaiden”…

Squika’s voice: What?! But threequels with long titles are SOOOOOOOO much better!

Squilma’s voice: I KNEW the Author shouldn’t have hired you as Creative Producer, Squeirdo…

Squigley’s voice: What? No, he didn’t!

Squilma’s voice: Squika! You LIED to me?!

Squika’s voice: Gotta go!

Squika super jumps away (apparently).

“Inklein”’s voice: [{Classic Squeaky, hahaha!}]

COMING SOON!

Next up, we have stills of the lead cast, including FIVE fan favourites from all three past chapters, one of whom is a full cast member for the very first time!

Let’s dive in…

***
Inklinda

Now going by gender neutral pronouns, a sea-quence of events in Octanner no Monogatari leads Inklinda Squatson to relocate to the roving city of Splatsville, located in the Splatlands, alongside a few of their bestest friends (and Ally). But could an impromptu trip down a nondescript drain lead to them fulfilling a prophecy they’ve unknowingly avoided since Ally-Squinn no Shinwa?

***
Octanner

The newly-renamed-ish Octanner Merryman is the core reason for the group’s departure from Inkopolis, leading to a long-distance brothership with his other self, Squigley. What secrets and new experiences await in Splatsville, and how is the intrepid Wayo connected with the Chronicuttle?

***
Jax

That’s right: Inklein’s real name is Jackson Inklébut (INK-lay-boo), or “Jax” for short. But something seems… off about him, and not in the normal-for-him way. Just what the fresh is up with him?!

***
Octobel

Restored once more to her natural Vemo self, Octobel DiGiaki (dih-YA-kee) is less interested in the “antics” that her friends enjoy so much, instead preferring to take on a more chillaxed vibe and lifestyle, including the hit cray-ze of Tableturf Battle.

***
Ally-Squinn

The newly-promoted Capt. Ally-Squinn Maki of the New Squidbeak Splatoon is here too, though TECHNICALLY she’s kinda busy with some other side project that isn’t canonical to Splatoon 3 (those familiar with her chapter may be able to guess).
