Can you help us get it done?
The Parallel Canon is a boss featuring several mechanical humanoids in Splatoon 3: Side Order. They all mimic Agent 8, with similar outfits, weapons, and Pearl Drones.
Strategy
Parallel Canon is battled in a series of waves, with the exact number of foes per wave varying depending on whether it is fought on 10F or 20F.
- The first wave is 1 or 2 enemies.
- The second wave is 2 or 3 enemies.
- The third wave is 4 or 5 enemies.
Each of Parallel Canon's bodies may be equipped with any type of Main Weapon, and may enter the battlefield with a Triple Splashdown. They can also summon Jelleton reinforcements.
Their Drone locks onto the player at all times, making hiding from them ineffective.
Quotes
The following text is quoted from the Jelleton Field Guide.
Acht
"They're tough opponents who look...a lot like Eight. It goes past looks too. The more powered-up your Palette is, the more resourceful they get."
Marina
"Don't get caught in a pincer maneuver! Use the high ground in the middle to force one-on-one skirmishes.”
Pearl
"They can do Triple Splashdowns out of nowhere?! Where'd these biters learn THAT trick?"

Trivia
- The Parallel Canon bosses use distorted voice clips from Inklings, both male and female. Their swim forms also identically resemble squids with black ink.
- Despite ostensibly being enemies to Agent 8, the sounds produced by Parallel Canon are notably associated with teammates in standard gameplay: as they enter battle from their cage, they emit the same alert sound heard from allies Super Jumping to your position; and when they are splatted, they emit the voice clips allied Inklings use when they issue an "Ouch..." signal.
- In Smollusk’s top secret notes, it is implied that Agent 4 was transformed into a Parallel Canon. If the player has Splatoon 2 save data on their Switch, the main Parallel Canon will have the same hairstyle as Agent 4 in that file.
Etymology
The definition of canon in music composition terms is a technique where an instrument plays a melody, and different instruments copy the same melody afterwards. Parallel Canon possibly represents this by copying and imitating Agent 8.
