Therefore, if they can cover it with ink, with the help of her Hyperbombs that Agent 8 has to manually detonate, then the statue will stop charging and Pearl can finish it off with a "Hypersonic Battlecry" to destroy it. After Agent 8 detonates all the Hyperbombs, the statue attempts to fire anyway, prompting Pearl to activate a giant [[Killer Wail]] stylized with her colors and crown. As the statue fires, Pearl lets out a giant [[Signal|Booyah]] and battles with the statue's blast before pushing it back and destroying the statue with pink ink. As the statue collapses into the sea, Pearl and Marina celebrate and watch the credits with their allies. | ||

— Off the Hook's catchphrase
| ||
Off the Hook (テンタクルズ Tentacles) is a pop idol duo based in Inkopolis Square consisting of Pearl and Marina. They take over the Squid Sisters' duties from the first game as the hostesses of Inkopolis News at the start of the game, as well as Splatfest events.
Music
- Main article: Music
Octo Expansion
When the game starts up the first time in the 3.1.0. update, Pearl will put an Inkopolis Fashion Focus about a trend of "squidkids with weird hairstyles", which are actually Octolings. As the broadcast ends, Pearl says that that was the only best thing so she will probably never do it again.
Off the Hook makes an appearance throughout the Octo Expansion, helping Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish by giving advice and commentary on Agent 8's tests. They meet the duo after Agent 8 passes Fake Plastic Station through Cap'n Cuttlefish's walkie-talkie, as they were on Mount Nantai where the signal was the strongest. Pearl and Marina call themselves by their usernames, MC.Princess and DJ_Hyperfresh, respectively. If Agent 8 loses all of their lives in a test at least twice, Marina will offer to use Agent 8's test data and hack the Kamabo Corporation's database to trick the test into thinking Agent 8 passed. If Agent 8 has less than 2000 CQ Points to do so, Pearl will take money from her dad's wallet to be transferred into CQ Points, after which Cap'n Cuttlefish can be talked to to pay the points back.
After Agent 8 collects all four thangs, Marina discovers they make a blender and the Telephone that had them find the thangs intends on blending Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish. Before it can do so, however, Marina activates Agent 8's CQ-80's distress signal, summoning Agent 3 and breaking the blender and phone in the nick of time. Marina then tells Agent 8 that they can escape through the hole Agent 3 made. As Agent 8 escapes the facility, Off the Hook shows up with a fleet of helicopters to pick them up along with Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 3.
As Pearl raps with Cap'n Cuttlefish, the platform Agent 8 was on rises up and turns out to be a huge statue of a human, with the Telephone, now known as Commander Tartar, intending on destroying all Inklings and Octolings with his blast of primordial ooze. Marina analyzes the statue and discovers that the statue is charging up by sunlight. Therefore, if they can cover it with ink, with the help of her Hyperbombs that Agent 8 has to manually detonate, then the statue will stop charging and Pearl can finish it off with a "Hypersonic Battlecry" to destroy it. After Agent 8 detonates all the Hyperbombs, the statue attempts to fire anyway, prompting Pearl to activate a giant Killer Wail stylized with her colors and crown. As the statue fires, Pearl lets out a giant Booyah and battles with the statue's blast before pushing it back and destroying the statue with pink ink. As the statue collapses into the sea, Pearl and Marina celebrate and watch the credits with their allies.

In an interview with Famitsu, Toru Minegishi says that this is because Marina sings in a different in-universe language.[5] This is consistent with DJ Octavio's in-game text and some of Marina's own text during Inkopolis News, making it seem her text is said part in Inkling language, and part in Octarian.
- Pearl and Marina's outfits in the Octo Expansion resemble those worn by late rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, respectively.

- The Octo Expansion also reveals that until the events of the Expansion, Pearl was unaware of Marina's true nature as a former member of the Octarian army. After being informed by Cap'n Cuttlefish, she remains protective of her bandmate, and reassures Marina that everyone will still love her.
- The opening banter for the Squid vs. Octopus Splatfest still has Pearl unaware of Marina's true nature, suggesting that the Splatfest takes place before (or concurrently with) the Expansion's events. The "Bonus Track" chat log in the Octo Expansion reveals that Pearl had pulled an all-nighter for "the Splatfest" not long ago, supporting this theory.
- It could also mean she is feigning ignorance for Marina's sake.

- When Off the Hook perform their catchphrase and pose in-game, it sounds exactly like they are saying their catchphrase in Japanese (Nuritakūru... Tentakuru!!).
