It's not that surprising. Pearl's a very straightforward person, and Marina's a nerd.

Remember that Marina is also Team Fantasy. She likes fantastical stuff like magic and dragons, and RPG fits in her alley.

Pearl is more akin to physical activities and its implied that knights are something she would do as a child playing outdoors. Also, knights are easier as a concept compared to mages, which requires a lot of geek knowledge to master the spells.

Piranha Pit has been taken out of the Clam Blitz rotation because the combination of mode and stage is causing the game to crash.

Hey! Free drink tokens and a Splatfest tee in the same day. Tomorrow I can spend all day getting ability chunks.

I notice that Judd's reaction to all sea life is "Yum." And I recall that funny 4-Koma comic strip where an Inkling states Judd is the judge of Turf War matches because he wants to have the freshest squid to eat (and apparently that's true considering that he tricks a squid to go into a boiling pot).

Suddenly, Judd doesn't seem benevolent as he appears.

Note that C. Q. has no actual connections. Because everyone is exploded.

Also, this confirms that the Squid Sisters (or at least Marie) and Off the Hook have played together at least once.

Also, Marina is Agent 8's role model. Dawww...

And Agent 8 considers Pearl to be some kind of grand-role model. Double dawww.

Dataminers have found that Off the Hook's casual models (the clothes they wear in Octo Expansion content) have had news animations added to them, likely pointing to a Splatfest with them wearing them.

I'm pretty sure it is. Look up something like "squid sisters off the hook concert live" and it should pop up.

FUN SPLATOON FACTS: If you voted for Wizards, you made a terrible mistake. Expect your only victories to be against other wizards, which will be 99% of your battles. You will lose 75% of the actual Knight battles you make.

Has the splatfest already started and is there a ridiculous imbalance of wizards to knights?

If you consider "there may be enough people on team Knight to actually field a full squad" to be an imbalance, then yes. tongue
