History Heartwarming / Splatoon2

* Hero Mode's final boss: Marie starts singing a TriumphantReprise of "[[https://youtu.be/fmoLeGjlHbw Tide Goes Out]]" to snap Callie out of hypnosis, and after successfully breaking her of the brainwashing, the two finally sing a new version of "[[https://youtu.be/-i9GTp3Mp30?t=21m22s Calamari Inkantation]]" after two years of being separated. Even after all is said and done, Marie is clearly grateful that Agent 4 helped her find her cousin. This continues in "Fresh Start", which does include the girls singing their solo hits, but then they start singing ''each other's'' solo hits, making the already-comforting song all the sweeter.

** After Team Chaos's victory, Marina is still convinced that Pearl aims to break the duo up and is panicking at the thought, before Pearl cuts her off and says she meant "break into new genres of music," and once again reaffirming (after a quick joke about getting a solo career) that she ''never'' plans on breaking up with the Octoling, causing Marina to cry TearsOfJoy.

* Marie can be seen enjoying Off the Hook's concert from over her manhole at the end of the Splatoon 2 Direct, so it seems there's no animosity between the Squid Sisters and their Inkopolis Square counterparts. (She does think the Sisters' catchphrase is better, though.)

* Off the Hook's live hologram concert, akin to the one The Squid Sisters did previously, was adorable and awesome at the same time. Midway through, Callie & Marie show up to sing Fresh Start and Spicy Calamari Inkantation as well. Not to mention Marina almost {{squee}}ing at the end where ''all four'' got to do the Splatfest version of "Now or Never!"

** The footage from the Octo Expansion Trailer shows Agent 8's wonder and delight at discovering the bright and colourful Inkopolis Square.
** We also see that Capt'n Cuttlefish is helping out Agent 8, which helps put to rest claims that he's racist against the Octarians.

--> '''Pearl''': ''Oh... Well, uh...''\\
'''Marina''': ''That's great, Pearl. I'm glad your family makes you happy.''\\
'''Pearl''': ''And you know what, Marina? You and me? We're Off the Hook! We're totally family!''\\
'''Marina''': ''Awwwww. In that case, I'm going Team Family too! Sorry, everyone. Pearl and I have both chosen Team Family, so... THE SPLATFEST IS CANCELED!''\\
'''Pearl''': ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]''\\
'''Marina''': ''[[StatusQuoIsGod Just messin'. TEAM FAMILY IS GOING DOWN!]]''

--> '''Pearl''': 'Rina, do you remember why we started Off The Hook in the first place?\\
'''Pearl''': We were sick of hearing the same stale top-20 songs on repeat EVERY DAY.\\
'''Pearl''': We promised that we'd never stop shaking things up. That we'd never conform.\\
'''Marina''': Yeah, but Pearl... Remember what YOU said when we first got together?\\
'''Marina''': You said that our ink colors aren't special on their own.\\
'''Marina''': That they don't become special until you mix them together to create new colors.\\
'''Marina''': And that gave me hope during a dark time in my life.\\
'''Marina''': Off The Hook means everything to me! It's all I have in this world...

---> '''Pearl''': You have WAAAY more going for you than just Off The Hook.\\
'''Pearl''': For one, the fans like you more than they like me. I've seen the Internet.\\
'''Pearl''': And all the other [=DJs=] worship you. Plus Eight and Cap'n Whatshisface.

* If you were someone who was really sad to see Marina's rather realistic outburst at Pearl during her 3rd consecutive loss in the Fork vs Spoon Splatfest (or just a Marina fan in general), seeing Marina's recent near-constant victories in the Clout era (having only lost 4 Splatfests so far across all regions since the Clout-based scoring system was integrated) is an absolute delight to see, especially considering how horrible her luck was in the West before that point.

--->'''Pearl''': Marina! What's the appeal of using the brella on this stage?\\

---> '''Cuttlefish''': I guess shes OK for an octo\\

---> '''Pearl''': ''Oh... Well, uh...''\\

** After Team Chaos's victory, Marina's panic at Pearl seemingly breaking them up is cut short when Pearl says she meant "break into new genres of music," and once again reaffirms that they'll never break up, causing Marina to cry TearsOfJoy.

** Datamined text for the "Order wins" scenario reveals that Marina simply wishes for a world where everyone respects one another, regardless of differences, and that she's willing to accept Off The Hook breaking up if that's what Pearl wants. Again, Pearl reiterates that she ''won't'' be doing that.

--> '''Pearl''': You have WAAAY more going for you than just Off The Hook.\\

--> '''Marina''': Pearl... I... I... I'm so happy right now... *sob*\\

'''Pearl:''' You ever just feel like...something big is coming? It's almost like...the end is near. \\

* After the results of the June 2019 Splatfest (Unicorn vs. Narwhal) are announced (Narwhal won), Marina and Pearl allude to ''Splatoon 2''[='=]s final Splatfest, reaffirming that no matter what, they'll always have each other[[note]]Remember: This is quite likely ''not'' just for show, as established in ''Octo Expansion'' where the friendship is shown to be genuine[[/note]].:

* During the announcement of Frosty Fest (Family vs Friends), Pearl realizes that she might have hurt Marina's feelings after gushing of how holidays are great with family ([[HarsherInHindsight since as an Octoling defector, Marina has no family to celebrate the holidays with]]), and then quickly tells Marina that Off the Hook is a family to her. Marina is delighted by this, and declares to choose Team Family as well, meaning that [[LikeYoudReallyDoIt Splatfest is cancelled]]. Of course, the last part is [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments a joke on Marina's part.]]

'''Marina''': ''Just messin'. TEAM FAMILY IS GOING DOWN!''

* In North America, Marina has a [[MemeticLoser reputation]] of [[ButtMonkey losing Splatfest after Splatfest]], but in the September 21-22, 2018 Splatfest (Retro vs. Modern, with Marina representing Modern), she ''[[ThrowTheDogABone finally won]]''.
