Splatoon Manga's Headcannon by Goggles-Kun Inkling (talk) 23:16, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
It might be a strange headcannon, but the manga has Inklings wearing hats to tell who they are (example: Goggles wearing Pilot Goggles). Even when they turn into squids, they have their hats on, execpt shrunken in size to fit the squid!

Oh no! Talk pages should not be used like this!

Translator note
hello, this is Vectorcest. first of all, thanks for putting my translations on here! second, i just want to address two things.
 * 1) misnumbering the issues was kind of an accident, it was hard to tell that the first issue (now known as issue #0 as seen in the character profiles in volume 1) when i started translating, so i started with Issue 2 to be safe and it has kind of stuck that way. once the translation is finished i'll fix it all up.
 * 2) about Bobble-chan - translating her name that way was not a mistake. "Knit Cap-chan" is too clunky to use in dialogue, and also, the bobble hat is not named "knit cap" in EITHER English nor Japanese. so for the sake of my sanity and dialogue flow, i changed her name to Bobble-chan. think of it like localization.

thanks again! --Vectorcest (talk) 08:26, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

OK
 * 1) We all make mistakes! It's ok!
 * 2) Sorry for the misunderstanding on why you called Knit Cap "Bobble-Chan". There are other people who actually renamed her Bobble-Chan, supprisingly, like ezokko.
 * 3) about Volume 1 - will you please translate all of it? It seems kinda like a challenge, but hey, what do I know?

Your welcome! 11:42, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

I look ridiculously suprised.

New Issue Alert
Hi! I'm a bit new, but I discovered that Corocoro now has a new issue loosely based on the premise, and characters, of Splatoon 2 seen here (Japanese), but still features the same Team Blue as the main characters. Just so you guys keep note. Thanks! - Andalusio
 * I ALREADY KNEW THAT!!! 11:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, cool! Just wanted to make sure that we were all in the same page, since some webpages that mentioned the English translations didn't mention the newest edition. - Andalusio
 * Also a few errors:


 * You kinda said Blue Team as "Team Blue," or switched Blue and Team around.
 * You must do sigs with for tildes! ~
 * Thanks again though. 14:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Internet phobia
Is this section really necessary? It talks way too heavily about a relatively small portion of the fandom IMO, and doesn't serve much other purpose. Naked Goggles could maybe be reworked, but the other stuff isn't highly significant, at least on the level of Woomy or Splat Tim. 04:11, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. This section isn't really needed.--Snowwarrior92 07:03, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I've removed it; besides, they were using the term "phobia" wrong as well. --Splatzoner (talk) 15:18, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No, this is related to splatoon, it literally is a whole manga about it (sorry if this is not what you are talking about). Flamescope (talk) 18:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * ignore me. sorry! Flamescope (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Scanslation links
Why are there links to an illegal scanslation here? Especially considering this series has been officially licensed for an English release and has had two volumes released already. --Morgil (talk) 23:10, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The article was probably written before any officially licensed release. Official release info should definitely replace info about where to find fan versions. Heddy (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Add french release date?
I just want to ask, if everyone finds ok, that I could add the release dates for the French version of the manga (I added already german version) User:OctoBox (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Organization and page title suggestion
It doesn't make much sense to have only content for the "Splatoon era" in the main article, while hiding content for the "Splatoon 2 era" in a separate article. More fair names for the articles could be "Splatoon (manga)" and "List of chapters in Splatoon". The main article should just be an overview, not containing all that chapter specific info. This would fix the problem of the plot section in the main article currently featuring only info from the "Splatoon era", by moving any specific info to the chapter list article and replacing it with an overview of the plot from various arcs.

The "Splatoon (manga)" could look similar this (example link). It could contain an overview of the entire manga, not just the first few volumes. This would be much more fair.

And the list article would be like (example link) and contain any info that isn't suitable for the main overview article. Heddy (talk) 20:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

I would like to add that this article is the top Google search result for "Splatoon manga". People are seeing this article before they see the publisher's official website! We should make it look good, not arbitrarily hiding content behind another article just because the characters started wearing Splatoon 2 gear! Heddy (talk) 21:05, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

RLY? Woomy1 (talk) 19:45, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

OMG you're right Woomy1 (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

this page has spoilers
i live in the USA, so this has a lot of spoilers. can we make special links that say that it has spoilers and send you to a page that shows what it is? plz Woomy1 (talk) 19:42, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Funny you say that, as the wiki has just recently come to a conclusion to remove all spoiler warnings, if you don't want to be spoiled, than simply don't visit the page. KA467 (talk) 21:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

anime, please!
people have been recently releasing anime versions of the manga on youtube. can we put a mark if the manga has a youtube anime? (all i know of for that is vol. 1) Woomy1 (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Official Translated Names of the Spy Gear
Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure where I wanted to bring this up. I didn't want to do this on EVERY Spy Gear-related... Well, gear. It appears Volume 7 is now out in English by VIZ Media but of course I don't have it, I just browse over the internet. One thing I'm bringing in here is the official translated names of the Spy Gear. I did not want to rename them (I don't think I can either way, though?) if I don't know every officially translated name of the set, otherwise it wouldn't be right for some to have those translated names and some that don't! Due to this, can anyone who actually has that volume confirm all of its translated names? I only know Spy Specs, Spy Bobble Hat and Spy Suit. Fairy27 (talk) 10:35, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Volume pages
Should we make pages for each of the manga volumes that lists the events and characters of said chapter? 14:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Spanish Version
Hi! I see that the Spanish version of the manga is not included, this is published by Norma Editorial, for example publishes one of the 2 in spanish versions of the manga "Pokémon Adventures", has also published translations of Nintendo manuals.

You can see the manga on their website, i can also find it on amazon, ect.

For now I'm still looking for manga.

They have published up to volume 11...

--Sasha V. (talk) 20:33, 20 December 2021 (UTC)


 * It is mentioned in the intro and in the release dates of each volume. Feel free to add any missing information, thank you for contributing. Shahar (talk) 22:17, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

School Cardigan Team
Should we add the School Cardigan team as a page? They're not very prevalent characters, but I just feel like we should if Team Inkfall and Team Iromaki Rangers are on the wiki too. :/ ArivakiVA (talk) 17:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I also think we should just add less prevalent characters in general. I dunno, just an idea. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:00, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at the manga section in book 4, (which for me at least was first introduced) no character have been added, yet(?), but that would be TBD. I'll dig a little deeper for Team School Cardigan if you'd like Chrome Wolf🐺) ([User talk:Chrome Wolf|🎙). 11:59, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You 100% should! Inkipedia strives to have totally correct and available information, so if it's not there, add it!
 * Thanks, Xandpochondria S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 12:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks guys! I'll see what I can do. And I'd appreciate the help @Chrome Wolf🐺. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png (talk)

Missing images!
I was looking through the manga characters and their wiki pages, and I noticed that there are only some characters that have the sketches Hinodeya posted of them on Twitter on their pages. There's generally a lot of photos that Hinodeya posted, so could someone help me upload all of them from Twitter to their respective pages? Thank you! ArivakiVA  19:19, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I've added 5 files to that. I can't seem to find any more, so I think that's it. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf ChromeWolf logo.jpg (🎙, 🗂). 22:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

ages in the splatoon manga
hi everyone, i don't usually like to complain about stuff publicly, but i'd like to discuss this as i don't want this part of the site to crash and burn like the coroika wiki did.

the ages put into some of the character profiles are  not canon . notley in team blue's info pages, it states that they are currently 21 in the splatlands series. they are not 21. team blue aren't adults who can legally drink alcohol or rent cars. why are we saying that they're 21? i can agree that they do look like 16 year olds, but that's just my opinion. it's not canon nor was this ever confirmed??

if everyone could agree to just put "at least fourteen" on every page and just that, i think that would be better than just outright stating that team blue is 21. because they're just not. the splatoon manga does not go by splatoons time passage, seeing as goggles can't really be in two places at once when it came to the octo expansion and hero mode 2 arcs.

please stop saying that team blue are 21, and don't add things to pages that aren't true.

thanks!

Vincentmethinks (talk) 04:46, 12 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This has already been discussed. Basically, it is canon that 7 years passed between the Splatoon 1 era and the Splatoon 3 era. Since Team Blue and other manga characters would have to be at least 14 during the Splatoon 1 era to participate in turf wars, they have to be at least 21 in the Splatoon 3 era. The Splatoon manga does not follow the same order of events as the Splatoon games, that does not mean that the passage of time has been altered. 14:12, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
