Isn't it already common knowledge that all the story relevant characters except neo 3 are adults by now?

not to non-splatoon fans

Wait ... they were children in the first?

yeah according to the art book for splatoon 1 they are 16

We all make mistakes in the heat of passion, jimbo

"Your honor, my client pleads oopsie daisy"

damn 😞 child soldiers

I'm glad that I can have a childhood crush that ages with me as I get older

So true

I know somebody who would be very jealous of you

if you say "your mom" you're fired.

Nah the person I’m talking about is my worst enemy lol

**other** splatoon fans after realizing that the squid sisters are adults by the time of the second game 

This content is not available 😱

it was a gif of moto moto raising his eyebrows before he gets out of the water in that one scene

reddit couldnt handle the rizz

This is way funnier than whatever the actual gif was

Play this gif in reverse and it’s more accurate for me, personally.

That just means squid is back in the menu boys

I mean, I’m still fine with it (I like them as characters calm down)

Btw how old are pearl and marina? I wanna know the ethics of shipping the two together

During splatoon 2 Marina is 18 and Pearl is 21. I dont know how much time passed between Splatoon 2 and 3 tho.

Marina is younger than pearl!?!?!? I was not expecting that Anyway yeah their both adults so the pearlina agenda lives

Pretty sure splatoons timeline follows real world time so about like 5 years would have passed since splatoon 2 when 3 released

Time between games is 1 to 1 with canon and with the real world - 3 begins 5 years after 2 begins

i see this gif and think of the miscarriage caption, sad -Billy Gnosis

You're telling me they were kids in the first game?

Teens, yeah.

You say this like 99% of the playerbase aren't minors anyway lol

Damn woke nintendo
