Chapter 26: Octo Expansion Part 3

Octo, Part 3 is the twenty-sixth chapter of the Splatoon manga. It was first released on 2018-08-10.

Plot
Eight is thinking about the Octoling Girl he keeps remembering so much, but he puts that aside for now and continues to find the last remaining Thang with Goggles, Headphones and Bobble. They immediately find Specs in the metro, and the group decides to split and clear various tests. Goggles, Specs and Eight go to the Ballercise Station, eventually clearing it, and the group finds the fourth and last thang. The Telephone opens the door of what seems to be the exit of the Deepsea Metro, but it was soon revealed to be a trap. Pearl and Marina realized that it was a blender as soon as it was activated, and the Telephone plans to use the Blue Team, Eight and Cap'n Cuttlefish as the ingredients for its goal. Before the blender can reach to them, Rider crashes through the ceiling and destroy the blender. He was there because of Cap'n Cuttlefish instructing Pearl and Marina to contact him, who also provided him with the cape. This resulted in Eight fully remembering about what happened before he ended up in the Deepsea Metro: He was chasing after the Kamabo Corporation to save the Octoling Girl, who is considered to be his teammate. He wants to find her, and the Blue Team follows him to escape through various phases. Cap'n Cuttlefish and Rider decides to stay to clean up the mess, but they are immediately attacked by the Telephone. While escaping, the Blue Team realizes that they forgot to bring their weapons, but Eight repaired four weapons in the meantime for them to use: Goggles and Headphones receive their main weapons, the Splattershot and Splat Charger respectively, while Specs receives the Undercover Brella and Bobble receives the Tri-Slosher. They later reach to the Spinal Phase. The elevator stops working, and they find Cap'n Cuttlefish and Eight's teammate tied up. Out of nowhere, the ropes tie Headphones, Specs and Bobble as well. Goggles and Eight, being the only ones free from the ropes, face against a partially sanitized Rider.
