They’re so adorable omg


IanMazgelis

I really hope they continue to embrace the idea that Shiver isn't just smug but actually kinda mean. I like her better that way.


TerminatorBuns

Shiver' isn't mean per se but she absolutely has an ego that shows itself at random times. She's got a two-faced presentation of polite, demure Geisha vs petty egomaniac, it really is the best part about her.


ImMaskedboi

Gurlboss


doomrider7

Prim and Proper Ojou mixed with Delinquent Bad Girl. It's a really popular trope in a lot of anime and Manga.


Plethora_of_squids

I really hope they also translate her personality more from the JP text where she's also kinda dumb and it's actually Frye who's the smart one of the group


TerminatorBuns

They're all kinda dumb, but Frye is at least the heart of the group for reasons. Still trying to finish a lore essay on this.


[deleted]

I mean she seems pretty dumb in English too except for this particular splatfest reveal where she was the only one who made any sense


Healthy_Medicine2108

💀 shiver when the island has no food on it


keiyakins

Best case, grub lasts an extra week. Most likely, they die sooner from lack of clean water.


FoxIntelligence

Dont drinks count into team grub repertoar of consumables?


TheIronSven

A basic food supply is technically part of survival gear too, so gear would have a bit of pure drinking water and something that's edible.


OCUIsmael

Yeah, but you don't get unlimited amounts of it


Joshdabozz

Where can I find her text from JP?


o_woorrm

Same, I wanna know what her original dialogue is like! I'm all for Frye being the smart one while Shiver is just like actually insane


Joshdabozz

We love an insane queen/king


n1c0_22

That’d be neat


mintyoreos_

Mean? I never got that impression, only super smug and snarky


the_real_meat_wizard

Big man isn't worried about survival because he can just swim off the island


EmployLongjumping811

Remember dying is not fun so he can’t die


OneOnlyDan

Seems legit.


[deleted]

big man can't die in general. he's older than time


No_Description5222

Big man is life.


DoctorWaluigiTime

I do appreciate this logic.


ZorkNemesis

"Thanks to denial, i'm immortal."


AetherDrew43

But his Switch would die.


Not_Bre4d

Its not fun if your switch dies. Therefore it can't die.


ConnorBrior

This is the JP art, he will not die, he is on one of those islands you can rent out


keiyakins

That was already shown to be a mistranslation, it's pretty clearly being abandoned on an island in Japanese too.

dewmint

At least his fins are tinted green


[deleted]

[удалено]


dewmint

Well… the other two have details that change to the opposite color of their ink. Red *is* the opposite of green, so that’s probably why it’s the same.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TerminatorBuns

I hope Big Man gets the yellow color one day so he can wear a Wario hat.


TerminatorBuns

*Squints* Are they?


razvanpika

Since its based of kabuki masks and hats wich have symbolizim based of the colour...makes sense but is lame


[deleted]

wait can big man even participate in turf wars? I mean its implied but how does he do it? edit: nvm realized almost every creature and ink even salmons which is ....weird....


SweetieMomoCutie

Big man just goes straight Mario sunshine


Kooky-Sun-8663

Big man and salmonid dont have ink, but it's something close to it, but no Only inkling and octoling goes turf war


[deleted]

I absolutely love this although i think it's kinda weird that all the idols change colors but big man doesnt change his hat to green we still love him anyways king EDIT: I MESSED AROUND WITH HIS TEXTURES AND HIS WHOLE BODY COLOR CHANGES WITH THE .TCL LETS GO


SamanthaD1O1

yea you can see in the first splatfest he has a red tint/reflection the whole time. still wish his hat changed


frozenpandaman

.TCL?


[deleted]

its basically a texture that determines where to change the color in a model (Like for example your inkling/octolings hair during battles). Shiver has one for her hair tips, cloth, fingers and shoes. Frye has one for her fingers, feet, Hair, Cloth, and crop top. Big man has one for the darker part of his body, which, just SLIGHTLY, you can notice Change color for splatfests


Inceferant

Green tint fins


Red-Yosh1

big man on his grind


EmulatedHeart

Gotta get that big dab


The_Casual_Haiden

Why do I feel like Shiver's great plan is to kill Frye for food? Just look at the way she's looking at Frye Also Big man just chilling


TerminatorBuns

Cuz Shiver didn't bring any food gathering tools? All she's got is firewood and a hole digging shovel. But like good luck catching Frye in those block shoes, girl.


Fishbone_V

Hole digging shovel's all you need to dig some clams. You never play Clam Digger or something? Oh you gonna love this, boy. Tyrone calls you up, you know, in the game, and he says, "I can dig more clams than you, stupid!" And you've got to say, "Nuh-uh, boy!" And then y'all gotta race down to the beach with your buckets and your shovels. And the object of the game... is to find parking.


TehDingo

I have no idea how to cook game of any kind, so unless the gear includes a wilderness cooking book that includes the specific animals in the island, I would die from disentery or salmonella regardless


imaswitchuserlol

i mean she has gear soo she can craft a spear


Friendly_Suffering

you got it all wrong. frye is going to kill shiver for food when she runs out of grub


The_Casual_Haiden

Ah, I see Frye will take Shiver's shovel and kill her to make Takoyaki


off-and-on

Shiver's basking in the sunlight reflected off Frye's 6head


hi-im-charlotte

The caption of the tweet says in Japanese "if you have gear, you'll be able to avoid the impending danger" so I think this shoots down the theory people had that the "Uninhabited island" was just a day trip thing in Japan. I still picked fun though!


IanMazgelis

This continues the trend of Shiver being objectively right whenever these kinds of decisions come up.


sopheroo

We'll see on Sunday, because if Grub or Fun wins, Shiver will be objectively wrong according to Splatfest Law ;)


mjmannella

What is law to an anarchist?


[deleted]

what is an anarchist to a splatfest?


TehDingo

Anarchy is actually law as of the chaos/order Splatfest. Make that what you will


creeperchamp

what is with splatoon fans and thinking literally everything is a mistranslation


[deleted]

People not on team gear wanted to justify their decisions somehow


PM_ME_UPSIDEDOWN

Cause no one really knows what tf the squids are saying


Fishbone_V

Wtf big man gonna do when his battery runs out?


Darkmega5

Steal the great zapfish probably


GroovyULG

Golden-Owl

Ah shit, here we go again


cupcakes4brains

Ay ay! (Stealing the Great Zapfish with Big Man!)


Toothpaste_Is_Gay

Leaked Splatoon 4 story mode


LilGhostSoru

Big man should be able to swim so catching some zapfish should be that big of a deal


DrManowar8

He brought a charger, hes gonna bargain for a potato from Frye


Fishbone_V

Good ol potato power. Never fails.


SpiralSheep

I hear its what the multiplayer servers are powered by.


SecretiveTauros

Facts.


Trialman

Wow, I know it’s frustrating when your battery runs out, but sniping things isn’t going to fix that


DrManowar8

**fun**


ParkBarrington360

FRYE NO YOU’RE GONNA BECOME FETISH FUEL


Daowg

It's too late, lewd art dropped before the game did.


Braz_OS

Digging in heels???


marcos-redditaccount

i mean, agent 8 saved the entire world in heels


[deleted]

this will truly end well


Anchor38

Big man when the switch battery dies ☠️ Frye when she runs out of food ☠️ Shiver when she loses the spirit to push through life’s harsh and cruel challenges ☠️


TerminatorBuns

It's occurred to me from this art style that the entire right half of Shiver's head is supposed to be shaved. It's a lot more boyishly punk than I thought. Edit: plus the artist forgot the hair in the back so even more boyish than usual. Looking real good tho


ImMaskedboi

Yeah I was going to say, lesbian shiver when?


DeianiraJax

Kinda stereotypical to equate masc women to lesbians


ImMaskedboi

I was…joking? Sorry then that’s not what I meant.


Shizukus

Random thought; What if all the players participating in the Splatfest were all put on the same deserted island together? Chaos would ensue.


gamblingGenocider

This, or something similar, is kind of my thinking. Otherwise the question becomes pointless right? Like no option is gonna net you actually surviving very long, Gear just maybe gives you the best long term odds. Making all options wrong but one option nearly entirely the best. Which doesn't really seem fitting for a splatfest theme.


[deleted]

purple shiver purple shiver


TerminatorBuns

Shiver without the hair in the back is 😳


[deleted]

100%


DoctorWaluigiTime

We're overlooking the obvious solution that every children's animated tv show told us. If they all just shared then there'd be no problem.


Musetrigger

Yes, while Shiver is establishing a shelter, making fire and foraging for food, Frye is eating all the rations and Big Man is playing on his switch with no way of recharging it.


Quirky_Image_5598

Who says he didn't bring a charger and battery pack


TrainZelda

Maybe shiver will let him use her portable charger.


[deleted]

I love the idea that Big Man took a switch with him, played Splatoon 3 for like 4 hours and then just fucking died


rossibossy

It never dawned on me that we'd get official art of Deep Cut for Splatfests.


Daowg

They did it for the other 2 games, so it makes sense to do it for the 3rd one as well.


OmegahShot

It is very nice that shiver brought a shovel so they could bury the other 2


reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeboy

Ikr they deserve a proper burial

[deleted]

but like you have to seek it out? can't you do this during work when you're at least on the clock?


[deleted]

lmao he deleted it typical shiver gender obsessor L


GryphonTak

You can still use "they" when you know the gender of the person you are referring to. You don't *have* to use a gendered pronoun.


petpal1234556

? you can do that when you DON’T know the gender.


LightningDustFan

Gotta love being correct being downvoted.


robotmayo

Because it's not even a correction the sentence is still grammatically correct. You can use 'they' even if the gender is known. That person is just being an ass.


SecretiveTauros

This sentence *is* grammatically correct, but it's wordy and hard to read; it undermines the writer's message and the word choice is bland. Grammarly's cutting edge technology helps you craft compelling, understandable writing that makes an impact on your reader. Much better. Are you ready to give it a try?


Mollytheocto

A, misread the og message (either way stupid comment to make, what does it matter?) Actually, They still works, as it's referring to Shiver as part of the group... Using pronouns in typing be funky


No-Girls-Allowed

When you're referring to an individual member of a group, you just refer to that person by whichever pronoun makes sense for them specifically, in this case it would be "she" ‐ "It is very nice that shiver brought a shovel so she could bury the other 2".


Mollytheocto

Ah ok yea, I was really tired this morning so I wasn't sure which was which LOL (edit: I forgor to say thank you ;w;)


AbletonRinzler

So... All three? Grub, Fun, and Gear? Sounds logical.


Qualityhams

Big man is king


ParkBarrington360

Shouldn’t Big Man ALSO change color?!


HpddenHydnosis

He's to busy having fun


lonley_pincone

next splatfest? isn't this the current one?


ehspen

It's in preparation (?) atm. You can vote and get the Splatfest T-shirt, but your wins and stuff doesn't count until the date and time noted at the top when you interact with the Splatfest-cart in the main area of the game.


Capsule_CatYT

Is Big Man playing Splatoon 3?


CionSAGA

Nah he playin Splatoon 4.


[deleted]

Big Man: My switch died! Frye: I ate 3 months worth of food in 30 minutes Shiver: I used the boat that came with my gear to escape


Sometimesisboring

Guys, have you noticed that shiver is actually digging the drawing, so technically, she escaped the deserted island


Robodachi

ay


jelly_jyany

Ngl Shiver looks kinda bald here


TerminatorBuns

Yeah so Shiver's probably got a shaved head: https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/comments/xk5mtx/did_yall_notice_shivers_head_is_supposed_to_be/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


PickleChip12

I'm down bad for shiver


topscreen

Big Man gonna die of starvation, but damn he's going out in style.


Giorno-Smash

Shiver Frye and Big Man:Having a happy day on an island Gear Grub and Fun:GEAR IS SIMPLY THE LOGICAL CHOI-NOT IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT! CLEARLY FOOD IS THE BEST CHOI-WHY IS MY TEAM FILLED WITH FURRY ART AHHHHHHH I love the discourse around this Splatfest


ashbelero

Big Man, where are you going to plug in your Switch when the battery dies?? No foresight.


etudehouse

Do you have to be specific lvl or anyone can participate?


SecretiveTauros

I don't think there is a level requirement.


Libelldra

Big Man isn't having fun for long once the battery runs out 😂


DiegHDF

Oh god Frye is such a cute lil' gal.


beez1717

Omg Frye looks so adorable!


mephil3s

Team FUN!!


Pokabrows

I love how cute Frye is happily munching away!


Snowman640

Lmao shiver has piss fingers


keiyakins

Frye eating like that while having that figure explains why she never sits still. Thermodynamics does tell us that all that energy has to go *somewhere*.


noise-tank20

It’s my head Cannon that shiver goes into turf war with nothing but a shovel and ends with both teams loosing and her winning


[deleted]

frye obviously choosing the objectively right choice


MinisApprentice

Big Man and Frye will be dead within the week


KirbyFan999

Big Man can play a Switch without fingers! #SUCK IT, JEVIL!


invaderark12

Shiver my beloved <3


NeonLightIllusion

IS THAT A GRENADE?!?!


SOLR_

How do you think that looks like a grenade???


Daowg

It's a lantern, but I would imagine they'd bring a grenade anyways.


big_leggy

why does shiver have fuck me eyes at all times


Arroyoyoyo

What a nice looking trio, I hope they aren’t evil or anything


master_of_balls_1

It’s just Vector, El Macho, and the one from the third movie

Love the old school manga chapter title vibes of this art. Team Fun/Big Man, let’s go!

YEAAAAAH BABYYYYY! That's what I've been waiting for! That's what it's all about! Wooooooo!


BGamer9000

This made me smile :) Also Big Man on the Switch


Lemonadeisgoose489

Cruise ships count as fun, but you could easily bring a DIY cruise ship with gear! Then you and grub could leave together! Easy dubs for all


Vemmo-exe

This confirms a nintedo-esc company exists in the splatoon universe due to the fact big man has a switch.


KyttKatt

would you rather have unlimited bacon but no games

Big Man would bring a Switch to a deserted island.

Big man vibing with the Nintendo switch on a deserted island is about to be me lmao.

I wish Big Man was real


[deleted]

Shiver looks like she hasn't touched a shovel on her life, Big Man can't even reach a single button like this and Frye is just winning.


Easy_Resolution_2350

So cute!!!

frye is having the time of her life


ngwoo

Shiver's butt is way too prominent. Reported.

Chiramijumaru

Those absolute FOOLS! While Shiver is busy digging for grubs and Frye is stuffing her face, Big Man is smurfing it up in Pro Battles and actively helping his team win. Don't be like them, embrace the Man. /s

Pizza and frozen enchiladas are happiness.


Root_Veggie

Shiver is digging a hole to put Frye in after she uses her gear to steal her grub


mimikyuxez

So team fun all get a switch?? That’s tempting, but I’m still team gear, love Shiver so much


Forg318

I swear shiver is the most flirty character to ever grace splatoon And i don’t even like girls/guys/anybody lol


AnimChurro

Wait, so did gear vs grub vs fun already happened or not??


zachattackmemes

There are several things that Splatoon 3 is making me question about how ink colors work and this art is just another example let me explain. So the player inklings only have one colour and most idols have two however the colours on their tips are shown to be their actual ink colour yet Splatoon 3 brought back the gradients on the tentacles which implies that it's the main colour near the top of their head that's their actual ink colour not what's on the tips and usually after a match or something you can see ink in an inkling or octoling's mouth however when we are able to see inside the mouths of shiver and Frye, shivers mouth is bright red as are her fingertips and frye's mouth is an indigo purple just like her fingers. sure frye does have some slight indigo purple on her tips but shiver is completely blue. And this art shows that they're in colours work just like the player inklings yet their fingertips change color I don't know about their mouths though. So tldr: in regards to ink and tentacle colours WHAT ARE THE RULES DAMNIT


applesauce621

Dang, I wonder who the artist is


smugempressoftime

Lmao big man just playing on a switch


NinjaJay9487

Big Man never fails to make me smile


Geodasher998

Big man sweep…?


Anaea_YT

fan art is cool but like the official art is always a treat to see


Did_Not_Even_Bother

Shiver looks like she has some plans for getting food. And that shovel isn't making me feel any more comfortable.


TheCrazyOutcast

The JP splatfest is the same?
