Part 2!! It sounds Amazing!! ✨ I love all of the leitmotifs! The opening and the beat of Octoling Rendezvous, then opening beat for the Calamari Inkantation 3mix, then of course the chorus AND the verse of Calamari inkantation! I love how you made the notes sound like ones in Octoling Rendezvous, and there are parts from the actual Octoling Rendezvous in here! And you even added references to Ech0 0nslaught… And then the radio sounds from calamari inkantation, AND you added City of Color, like in the Spicy Calamari Inkantation!! All of the little details are amazing!! I especially love the Onward leitmotif, because almost every boss fight in Side Order has this reference! Did I also hear a reference to C0ld Storage at 1:35?! And 1:49 ?! Also, the sort of shouting at 1:52 reminds me of how in several squid sisters songs (such as City of Color and Ink me Up) they shout “Hey!Hey!Hey!” The amount of detail is this is SO cool and I loved trying to find the leitmotifs in here! In addition, the video was cool and I liked watching the videos on the screens turn on and off! Oh no, I’ve typed a paragraph haha…

Inner Agent 4 is potential trauma I didn't know the fandom could unlock

This vid gave 4 more screen time than splatoon did

You know, it probably wasn't the intention with the art, but I feel that darkness could be a really cool mechanic for this theoretical fight. The arena itself is pitch black, only having your ink and the enemy's eyes producing light. The boss itself differentiates from inner agent 3 by being a lot more tricky and phase oriented. While the lights are out, Agent 404 (as I dubbed this boss) isn't actually in the arena, instead having 4 respawning copies that shift between trying to kill you and covering your ink to darken the arena. They wouldn't be super smart or difficult to kill, but are constantly respawning and hard to spot. In splatoon 2, octoling stages task you to destroy spotlights to free zapfish. In this case its the opposite, you have to find and turn on generators in the darkness. Once all 4 or 5 generators are turned on (probably by shooting them like the escort towers) the lights turn on and 404's shadow clones disappear, having you fight the real deal. The process resetting after each phase, but throwing a new twist every time. Probably wouldn't be as brutal of a fight as 3, but I think would be a cool unique battle with its own references to splatoon 2's campaign.

'Defeating memories that never happened' is a statement that goes insanely hard ngl

WE WON, SPLATOON FANS

banger also the morse code at 0:36 translates to HELPME (it was a pain to manually transcribe it)

One word: Fresh

god this actually just sounds like we’re nothing but another octoling in agent 4’s way you captured that perfectly

She’s just standing there….MENACINGLY!

i like how all the screens in the back show agent 4 gameplay, then the bottom right for the entire video is just girl power station

PUTTING THIS BANGER ON MY PLAYLIST LET'S FUCKING GOOO-

I love all the leitmotifs/references to other Splatoon songs used here. In the order they appeared: 0:00 Octoling Rendezvous intro, main rhythm/instrumentation references song throughout 0:03 Calamari Inkantation 3MIX intro 0:08 Calamari Inkantation leitmotif 0:41 Calamari Inkantation verse 0:51 Onward leitmotif 1:10 Ech0 0nslaught leitmotif 1:14 City of Colour leitmotif 1:25 C0ld St0rage leitmotif Also, given the context of the Calamari Inkantation, its presence in a simulation of what if the Octarians won makes it feel less like the liberating, positive force it is in the Splatoon series. It feels more like a protest, an active rebellion from the Inklings who - in this simulation - would have been oppressed just as the Octarians were. A rebellion crushed by the ruling Octarians, as their leitmotifs frequently interrupt or play over the inkling leitmotifs.

Splatoon if the Octolings won the Great Turf War

Agent 4 better return in some form for splatoon 4. I mean it's literally in the name.

Thank you for doing Agent 4 justice, the Agent 4 fandom won’t forget you :3

dropping bangers like a pencil main dropping coolers

Imagine how cool this would be as an Agent 8 boss theme, the song of her soldier days combining with the song that set her free from them

bro thought he could sneak in girl power station and thought we wouldn't notice (all jokes aside this is a certified banger, keep cooking bro 🔥)

I love the idea of inner agent 4 as much as anyone else, but I am kind of glad it’s not a thing in game 1: side order wasn’t trying to be a complete repeat of Octo expansion. Doing the same secret final boss, even if it had some twists in the fight itself, would’ve just been repetitive. 2: be honest. Do you *really* want to go through that agony a second time? 3: we already have an inner agent 3 in splatoon 3. It’s called After Alterna. 4: with agent 4’s limited role in side order, it wouldn’t have made much sense for them to suddenly turn up as a secret final boss, unlike agent 3 where they’re referenced throughout the whole story. Not saying I _enjoy_ 4’s limited role in side order, but unless you wanna rewrite the story, I don’t see how it really fits together. But hey, who needs real dark souls-level boss fights when you have fanmade boss tunes?

I love the leitmotif integration! You did an amazing job making this sound like something you’d hear in game, to the point that you could convince someone that an inner agent 4 boss is hidden in Splat 3 somewhere.

after a long wait, the splatoon song of the century is complete.

This sounds amazing! I love the Calamari Inkantation leitmotifs :)

OH MY GOD….. A SIDE ORDER REWRITE NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND INCLUDE THIS THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING THE MUSIC BANGS SO MUCH ANHAJKEKHAHIEHIE

1:23 Yeeeesssss!! I don't know if you were always going to put "Onward" in there, but thank you for doing it. This came out really nice. Congratulations on it :)

I really wish this was real. Agent 4 deserves a return, this theme perfectly encapsulates potential resentment from her being left behind. If we did have a Inner Agent 4 fight, this is the theme I'd pick for it, good work man! 🔥

I would crusade to have an inner Agent 4 fight.

This goes insanely hard

YOO ITS AN INNER AGENT ME

We making it out of side order with this one

THE LEITMOTIFS ARE EVERYTHING

This could have been so fun and such a nice battle instead of just the parallel canon fight.

0:08 - 0:36 is probably my favorite part, the dueling of octoling rendezvous and calamari inkantation lemotifs just sounds amazing!

I LOVE MY CALIMARI INKANTAION MOTIFS!!!!

I absolutely love Splatoon music and this is Splatoon music so I love it Also the thumbnail made it kind of look like an fnf mod

THIS IS SO FRESH!!! I love agent 4 sm thank you for ur service

didnt think we'd get a full version!!! good stuff!! been listening to the original since you dropped it!

Idea if this was an actual boss: (this takes a few ideas from another comment) The entire arena is pitch black, excluding your ink, and the enemies eyes. Agent 404 isn’t actually in the arena, they are spectating, with 4 shadow clones in their stead. The clones are about as smart as the octolings from story mode. There would be 4 power rerouters, their location shown by spotlights above them. The clones die immediately as they touch the light, but they can still shoot through the light. As the phase progresses, and your reroute more power, the spotlights become dimmer, their radius decreasing and the clones only taking damage over time while inside. Once all 4 rerouters have been activated, floodlights would fill the arena with light, instakilling all clones, and forcing 404 to fight. During phase 2 and 3, 404 will provide suppressive fire, via specials. Once you beat agent 404 3 times, All the power rerouters will shut down, having all the floodlights shut down, forcing you to fight 404 and their clones, in the pitch black night. Oh, and all the clones infinitely respawn. Have fun!

[ NO PEARL DRONE ] [ NO SPECIALS ] [ NO HACKS ] [ NO COLOR CHIPS ] Once the group reached the top floor of the Spire of Order after finally reaching the top with Eight’s Pallet, they found Smollusk to be MIA, in his place however there stood a lone figure in the darkness only illuminated by the screens which lit up all around them. Marina: PEARL! Are you okay?! Pearl: “Yeah I’m fine ‘Rina, that thing, whatever it is wouldn’t even wait for me to stop moving, it just shot me out of the air. Pearl: “What even is that anyway? It looks and acts like those strange guys we fought earlier, but something’s… off…?” Marina: “I don’t know, I’m looking through the data but none of this makes any sense.” Marina: “It just keeps repeating the number 4 on loop.” Marina: “I’m sorry Eight, but there isn’t anything I can do for you here, you’re just going to have to get through this on your own.” Marina: “Huh? I know expression on your face… you’ve dealt with something similar in the past?” Marina: “In that case, go get ‘em!” Pearl: “We believe in you Eight, go wreck some halibut!” Marina: (Eight is shaking, I hope this turns out alright.)

You cooked so hard you did an amazing job!! You’re incredibly talented

AGENT 4 FANS EATING TONITE!!!!!

this is the best song ive ever heard

What the Music for the Parallel Canon Bossfight should have been. The Music we got is pretty cool too but a Octoling Rendezvous Remix would have gone so hard

this has no business slapping this hard??!!! LIKE HELLO??!!?

DUDE THIS IS SICK!

it can be assumed that this is supposed to be the opposite of octoling rendezvous, and since the calamari inkantation motifs were the main focus of the song, it would be interesting if octoling rendezvous could be considered a "hellish" melody bc the calamari inkantation is constantly referred to as "the heavenly melody". ik its not canon but just a random thought i had :3

AGAHGSH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A VERSION OF OCTO REN LIKE THIS

I actually gasped when the city of colour tune turned into the octarian jingle at like 1:23

Now we just need it going for half an hour.

wtf why does this give me chills but overall it's really good i like it, it genuinely sounds like an official splatoon song

YOU DID IT YOU DID IT i love you and this so much

I haven't heard a fansong this good since Altertale's Dynami v2 dropped 7 years ago.

BRO YOU COOKED THE HELL OUTA THIS HOLY CRAP!!!! AMAZING STUFF

This is the best splatoon fan song EVER. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Man this is so cool! Time to listen to this on loop for the next 5 days XD

OMG HE DID IT CHAT!!!! ITS DONE!! AND ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

It's one thing to fight against a squad of Inklings being commanded by a rogue AI. It's another thing to fight against an Agent who's taken down groups of Octolings by themselves.

WE WON! TIME TO LOOP THIS FOR HOURS.

this is so cool!!! keep up the great work!!

This is fire, great job on this! (This is going in my music playlist XD)

Im so happy that this video is popping off man

YESSS IT'S OUTTTT THANK YOUUU

Straight onto the splatoon playlist it goes! Thanks for making a full version 🎉

this song makes me uncomfortable but I like it it reminds me of all those time I had to go through the courses fighting the octolings I always hated those courses it puts a sense of fear and nostalgia in me

This is stunning!!! You did such a good job with this

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY, As someone who started with splatoon 2, this means alot to me to hear and see, :D

AIYHFHHH IM GOING INSANE THIS IS SOOOOOO AWRSOME IM ACTUALLY FILLED WITH SO MUCH WHIMSY

Patience was key, thank you for cookin’

Inner agent 4 have PTSD mode

YESSSSSSSS!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSS!!! BOOYAHHHHHHH 🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑

YESSSSSS I was playing the sample on LOOP

god i love this so much

HELLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHH THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FORRRRRRR

This is an absolute banger

Tbh parallel canon is my favorite boss in side order. (Mainly because it’s in my opinion the easiest and most accessible by all the main weapons. Least favorite by far is asynchronous rondo because it a. Favors weapons with longer range and b. Somehow manages to show up every time I play roller.)

This goes so hard actually

BRO COOKED US A 4 COURSE MEAL

OMG THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER WOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWW THIS IS SO COOL NEW SUB EEEEEEEE

Can I ask for a half hour of this beautiful jam?

I wish this was actually in side order it’s so good!

This is an absolute bop bro

Come to think of it, Agent 4 really is the strongest agent of them all, heck, maybe even the best and most underrated character of all time.

This is amazing i love it so much

This is AWESOME, commenting to boost

I like to think the one screen at the bottom playing octo expansion girl power station is Agent 4’s burning jealousy for Agent 8 that they pushed down

yoooo its finally done!!

I have this on loop rn

I LOVE IT!!Soo many splatoon music references will you make more?

YEAHH SO FRESHHH IS THIS ON SPOTIFY I NEED TO ADD IT TO MY PLAYLIST RN

I almost forgot for a hot second Agent 4 and Neo Agent 3 are like the biggest outliers in Splatoon, they're the only agents who are just random civilians who got dragged into some pretty fucked up stuff.

THIS IS SUCH A BOP we goin back into the domes with this one /j

That is super awesome!

I HAVE A A FEELING AGENTS 4 WOULD COME BACK IN SPLATOON 4...

this is amazing

I waited so long🥲

Finally, the full version! I LOVE THIS!! Also, this finally proves that im stonger than Inner Agent 3, and slightly stonger than Agent 8… …because i. AM… …AGENT 4.

Y’know it’s funny to think about, but Agent 4 was kind of inconsequential in the long run. Had they failed in saving Callie, do you know what would have happened? Agent 3 and Capn’ Cuttlefish would return from the events of Octo Expansion which happen concurrently with the events of Hero Mode, but it wouldn’t just be them it would also be Off the Hook and Agent 8, if they found out Callie and possibly Marie were both kidnapped and being kind controlled by DJ Octavio, they would probably head to deal with that immediately. The Squid Sisters being Marina’s oshis and the sole reason the Octarians began to leave, there is no question the lot of them would head off to save her. And unlike in Hero Mode where we have to bust in through the front door as it where, Marina used to be a high ranking member of the military, if anyone knows back doors into the main dome, it would probably be her. Octavio is more than just fucked here, so despite everything Callie was always going to be alright, I mean Sheldon and Marie are both smart enough to know that leaving a message for the currently out members of the Squidbeak Splatoon for when they return should something happen, or should they be gone at the time, that would probably be a smart idea. Especially for Sheldon, he would no doubt have one of his drones carry the message to the base if something happened, which in this hypothetical something did happen.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE RN

YESS A FULL VERSION

here we are
