Suffer No Fools is a song performed by Off the Hook and Fire & Ice as "Off the Hook VS Fire & Ice". It plays during Splatfest events since Fresh Season 2024, starting with Lightly Salted vs. Consommé vs. Salted Seaweed and Drums vs. Guitar vs. Keyboard.
Description
Suffer No Fools is a rap battle between Off the Hook and Fire & Ice. It starts with a sung introduction from Marina and Pearl, followed by a rapped part from Pearl, who repeatedly interrupts Frye from talking. After Frye takes her turn, she and Pearl diss each other until the chorus, which is a reprise of the introduction. After the chorus, Shiver goes against Marina singing in her usual enka style and giving her backhanded compliments in a stereotypical Kyoto fashion, which Marina fails to understand as such, replying with earnest thanks. The two continue singing until Pearl interrupts them, reprising the chorus again.

Quotes
“ | A new song featuring Off the Hook & Fire & Ice, "Suffer No Fools" drops as Splatfest battle music! When Frye heard Off the Hook was having their 1st Splatsville concert, she got mad! Ignoring the starstruck Big Man, Frye & Shiver went to Off the Hook's green room for some words! |

“ | This off-the-cuff battle came about when Frye demanded to know, "You think you can play OUR town without going through us?!" Pearl retorted with, "If you got something to say, say it on stage!" No Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass necessary for this taste of Off the Hook! |

Trivia
- Suffer No Fools can be considered a parallel to Liquid Sunshine, as both are collaborations between another idol group and one or more members of Deep Cut, the latter of which are performing under pseudonyms (except in certain East Asian languages).
- Suffer No Fools, Big Betrayal, and DJ Octavio's rendition of Bomb Rush Blush are the only songs in the Splatoon series to have officially translated lyrics.
- However, Suffer No Fools and Big Betrayal have known parts of their lyrics translations as seen in their respective music videos, while the translation of the lyrics to DJ Octavio's rendition of Bomb Rush Blush is unknown.
- In the music video, Marina's bracelet can be seen on her right wrist during the chorus, but on her left when she goes against Shiver.
- In the Japanese artwork for the music video, Pearl's teeth are incorrectly depicted as if they were like those of a regular Inkling, with two fangs on the sides rather than one in the center top of her mouth; this feature was corrected in the international artwork.
- The inside of Marina's mouth is also colored seafoam green instead of the usual red; since it has been maintained in all localizations of the video, this could have possibly been a stylistic choice.
Etymology
"Suffer No Fools" is a derivation of the idiom "suffer fools gladly", often used in the negative as a derision of those one perceives as stupid.

Translation notes
- ↑ Sung simultaneously with Marina's line
- ↑ This along with the previous line is a play on the proverb "Träume sind Schäume" ("dreams are foam"), meaning an unlikely dream.
- ↑ "蛮殻" can also be translated as "Anarchy".
- ↑ Frye and Shiver's names are written in kanji, as they are written as real given names, instead of in katakana, as in-game.
