Trivia

 * The European Nintendo Direct incorrectly showed the Wasabi Splattershot's special weapon as the Inkzooka instead of the Inkstrike.
 * This weapon was absent from Splatoon 2, likely in favor of the Kensa Splattershot being the new third variant of the Splattershot.
 * However, Splatoon 3 would later add in a new variant of the Tentatek Splattershot that featured Splat Bombs and the Triple Inkstrike, making it a successor to the Wasabi Splattershot's toolset.

Etymology
Wasabi Splattershot is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat) and Shot. It also has the word Wasabi as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot and the Tentatek Splattershot. The word Wasabi most likely refers to its color scheme.

Its Japanese name, スプラシューターワサビ Supurashūtā Wasabi, is a combination of either Splat or Splash, and Shooter. It contains the word "Wasabi" for the same reasons as its English name.
