Emotes are animations performed by the player character when winning a battle in Splatoon 3. Most of them are obtained through the catalog at Hotlantis.

List of emotes

Start

The player starts with the emote Flip Out. It changes depending on the current weapon type the player is holding, making up a total of eleven variations.

Splatfest

The icon of the unobtainable Win TriCol emote.

There are two special emotes performed under certain conditions during a Splatfest. The first emote, named Win TriCol, is performed after a Tricolor Turf War, when the attacking team wins: the winners who covered the most turf perform their chosen emote, while the other attacking team nods with crossed arms.

The second emote is performed when a team wins a 100x or 333x Battle. The animation starts with the players doing a little dance before pointing a finger up in the air (at which point the tip of it shines briefly); the whole team then looks at each other, and it ends with every member striking a different pose.
