* Commander Tartar's directive is to coat the entire Earth with its very own mush, then how would it destroy the entire population of Inkopolis? It's been shown that even to Agent 8 [[note]] albeit not when the Escape Sequence or Final Boss occurs [[/note]] the sanitized ink still can respawn those who have been splatted, so what is stopping from one just respawning? Especially considering all spawn points in Inkopolis and Octo Valley/Canyon have fields that block ink. So unless Tartar was planning on constantly barraging Inkopolis for years on end, this plan is half-baked at best. At the most, it'd just turn Inkopolis into a wasteland but not an absolutely uninhabitable one.
** Spawn Points probably have a maximum amount of Inklings/Octolings that can fit on it, with anyone else getting shoved out of the ink-blocking field by sheer volume, where they'd land in the sanitized ink. I doubt that anyone would have time to acclimatize to the ink either, given that. Or it's just GameplayAndStorySegregation, [[WatsonianVersusDoylist either one]].
** Alternatively, NILS' cannon could have destroyed the spawn points through brute force.
* How is Tartar's NILS going to take care of the still-aquatic creatures like Jellyfish and Salmonids? No ink, not even the one used in Octo Expansion can exist in water.

* The fact that Inklings mistake Octolings for members of their own species despite their different tentacle and eyemasks may seem to be a bit of an over-exaggeration of their unintelligence. However, looking at Inkling designs from the Splatoon Bands shows that a lot of them have their own unique eyemask and tentacle designs, a few caused by mutations. It's likely that Inklings simply believe Octolings are just fellow squids with unusual tentacle and eyemask mutations.

* In Octo Expansion, the prize you get from defeating the BonusBoss, Agent 8's memory of Agent 3, is a hairpin that grants the ability Special Charge Up. At first this seems kind of a random reward for beating such a difficult boss, especially considering that Special Charge Up isn't even generally considered that good of an ability. Until you realize it's probably related to how Agent 3 was spamming out Specials at an impossibly high rate for the whole fight.

* You may notice that in the Tartar boss fight that you aren't directly shooting at him nor are you trying to destroy the statue at first but rather covering it in ink by using Marina's suction bombs. It seems unusual at first until you realize that it's the objective to winning a Turf War. To put it more lightly, the Squidbeak Splatoon are trying to keep their turf from being claimed by the enemy.

\n!FridgeLogic* Think back to the chat logs from the Octo Expansion; Pearl and Marina first met on Mount Nantai. Marina was going through a very dark time in her life, and was climbing a mountain. [[DrivenToSuicide It isn't hard to put two-and-two together.]] [[labelnote:note]]If that weren't enough, there's a waterfall very close to Mount Nantai known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegon_Falls Kegon Falls]]. It's famous in Japanese culture for being the location philosophy student Misao Fujimura left a farewell poem before committing suicide, and is unfortunately a very common spot for despairing teenagers to take their own lives due to the Werther effect.[[/labelnote]]
* This maybe should go under a different trope, but, Marie and Callie is a pun on calamari, right? So what is Pearl and Marina? Marina means harbor, so it could be seen as pearl and har- OH GOD IT’S PEARL HARBOR.

As noted in the fanon page, the "Octolings also come from tentacles" thing seems to have been mostly retconned; among other things, Diss-Pair's DJ is outright stated to have parents (plural).


** In the lore it's mentioned that Octolings occasionally donate tentacles that grow into other Octolings. The details are vague so we don't know the full extent of how that works, but it also leaves open the idea that Marina doesn't ''have'' a family to spend the holidays with even in Octo Valley, and Pearl is genuinely the only "family" she has.
