Quotes
| “ | SRL Musicology here, pumped to reveal a new Chirpy Chips single and music video! Yeah, Ballistics and Fashion Desk and pretty much everyone else is yelling that this is actually the Chill Season trailer (coming 12/1, BTW), but we're focused on the retro synth chiptune bassline! | ” |

Trivia
- This is the first season to not debut any new rollers.
- This is the first season to have a majority of its new weapons be exclusive to Splatoon 3.
- Additionally, the only new weapons to receive the new specials were those returning from previous games.
- This season's catalog is the first to feature a gear trio which does not constitute a full outfit.
- It instead consists of a piece of headgear, the Vintage Biker Cap, and two pieces of clothing, the Deepsea Tangle Top and Annaki Tuff Duffel.
- Unlike other seasons, where their thumbnails depict their respective promotional artworks, this is the first season where the YouTube thumbnail depicts a different background; in this case, Chirpy Chips hanging out in Hotlantis.
