Template:InfoboxCharacter Deep Cut is a band in Splatoon 3. It is a trio composed of an Octoling named Shiver, an Inkling named Frye, and a manta ray[1] named Big Man. According to Shiver, their role as an idol band is just a "day job" and they moonlight as bandits.
They are the hosts of Anarchy Splatcast, the news show of Splatsville, and also host Splatfests, with Frye, Shiver, and Big Man each representing one of the three teams in every Splatfest, fulfilling the roles of the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook from the previous Splatoon games. During broadcasts, Shiver and Frye take seats on cushions on the ground on the left and face the audience, while Big Man holds a large TV on the right on which news announcements appear, also facing the audience. They can be found to the left of the Battle Lobby Tower in Splatoon 3.
Anarchy Rainbow, Now or Never!, and Calamari Inkantation 3MIX are currently Deep Cut's only known named songs. There are four more songs by them, two Splatfest battle songs and two Return of the Mammalians songs, but they are not yet named.
Return of the Mammalians
Deep Cut appears as minor antagonists in Return of the Mammalians, warning the New Squidbeak Splatoon that Alterna is theirs to plunder and challenging them to battle when they refuse to leave. Frye, Shiver, and Big Man are thus fought as the bosses of the second, fourth, and sixth Sites, respectively.
After all three of its members are defeated and they are promised ownership of the "treasure" they were looking for (in fact a broken radio transmitter), Deep Cut assists the New Squidbeak Splatoon in stopping Mr. Grizz's plan to cover the world in Fuzzy Ooze.
Quotes
“ | With that sorted, we'll put our beakers and graph paper away so we can OBSESS over Deep Cut! Shiver the shark tamer, Frye the eel master, and Big Man the dancing manta... WOW. We're already huge fans, and we can't wait to see what they're going to bring to future Splatfests. | ” |
