Trivia

 * In both games, this weapon was released to coincide with the Japanese tradition of kakizome ("first writing"), which is when one writes their first calligraphy of the year. SplatoonJP's Tweet on the weapon's release in acknowledges this, jokingly telling players to have their "first inking."
 * In Splatoon 2, this weapon is tied with the Neo Sploosh-o-matic and H-3 Nozzlenose for the cheapest Tenta Missiles in the game with 170p.

Etymology
Octobrush is a combination of octo (Latin for "eight"; likely referring the octopus-shaped ink reservoir) and brush. The suffix Nouveau is used to differentiate it from the Octobrush and might also referring the Art Nouveau. This trait is shared among the other alternate sets of the Nouveau brand.
