Shiver “What's your favorite Chocolate? Dark, milk, or white?”	Frye “YOOOOOO! Is this because Team Sweet just rocked everyone's taste buds?”
Shiver “Not so fast! Dark Chocolate is the best. It's rich and sublime instead of just...sweet.”
	Frye “JUST sweet? How dare you. Milk chocolate's perfectly balanced! So mellow and creamy.”
	Big Man “Ay! (If we're talking creamy, don't forget the velvety goodness of white chocolate!)”
	Frye “Ugh! Why can't we pick more than one? This is torture! I QUIT!”
Shiver “Whoa, calm down. We're talking about chocolate. It's yummy! It's the best!”
Shiver “And the best part of chocolate is the cacao, right? So dark chocolate easily wins.”
Shiver “And while other chocolates are mere trifles, dark chocolate has anti...somethings.”
Shiver “I don't remember what, but dark chocolate is good, so whatever it's against is bad.”	Frye “Is that how science works?! I'd say all that dark chocolate had poisoned your brain.”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay! (I believe in you, Shiver! It's not too late to turn from the dark side!)”
Shiver “Hmph. I thought I was onto something there and about to win you two over...”
	Big Man “Ay. (Back to chocolate... White chocolate is so smooth. Like a gentle wave of flavor!)”
	Big Man “Ay? (And did you know they use it to make other chocolate flavors, like matcha?)”
Frye “Ooo, I love me some matcha. I guess white chocolate is actually pretty legit!”
Frye “Awww, but I like everything about chocolate. The smell, the sweetness, the creaminess...”	Big Man “Ay? (So, which one of those is most important to you?)”
Frye “All of them. That's why milk chocolate is the best!”
Frye “Don't you see? Milk chocolate is the perfect blend of all of chocolate's best qualities!”
Shiver “We're never going to agree on this.”	Big Man “Ay? Ay? Ay! (Us? Disagree? I'm shocked!)”
Shiver “Let's up the stakes. Losers have to get the winner their choice of chocolate. Deal?”
Frye “Fine by me. I'll be the one getting all that sweet, sweet chocolate!”
	Big Man “Ay! Ay... (Or it could be me! Just saying...)”

	Big Man “Ay! (White Chocolate glides to victory!)”
Shiver “Whaaat?! Run those numbers again!”	Frye “Gyaaah! I was sure we'd win, I could taste it!”
	Big Man “Ay! (Thanks, fellow white-chocolate fans! You flowed as smooth as cocoa butter!)”
Shiver “Hmph. Team Dark Chocolate proved their worth well enough. I can't say i'm bitter.”	Frye “Team Milk Chocolate was looking pretty sweet out there too!”
	Big Man “Ay? Ay? (You remember the deal, right? The losers buy chocolate for the winner?)”
Shiver “Ughhh, twist my tentacles, why don't you.”
Shiver “It's not as if we don't give each other chocolate this time every year anyway.”	Frye “Hey, yeah! What makes this different from every other time I get Big Man chocolate?”
	Big Man “Aaay... (Uh, Frye, I HOPE it's different from the chocolate you gave me last year.)”
Frye “You mean the chocolate-covered onion?”
Shiver “There's a chocolate-fondue place nearby that'll let you bring anything. Shall we?”	Big Man “A-ay?! (If I give you both chocolate too, can we eat something normal for once?!)”

Haya “Wat is de lekkerste chocolade? Puur, melk of wit?” (What's your favorite chocolate? Dark, milk or white?)	Muriël “YOOOO! Die overwinning van Team Zoet smaakt naar meer, zo te zien! Goed thema!” (YOOOO! That victory of Team Sweet tastes like more, by the looks of it! Good theme!)
Haya “Niet zo snel. Pure chocolade is de beste! Rijk en subtiel, en meer dan alleen zoetigheid.” (Not so fast. Dark chocolate is the best! Rich and subtle, and more than just sweetness.)
	Muriël “ALLEEN zoetigheid? Hoe durf je! Melkchocolade is in balans! Zoet, vol, romig...” (JUST sweetness? How dare you! Milk chocolate is balanced! Sweet, tasteful, creamy...)
	Ray “Ay! Ay! (Maar nog niet zo zoet en romig als witte chocolade! Dat smelt op je tong!)” (Ay! Ay! (But not nearly as sweet and creamy as white chocolate! That melts on your tongue!))
	Muriël “Bah, mogen we er echt maar eentje kiezen? Dat is een kwelling. Ik doe niet mee!” (Bah, can we really only choose one? That's torment. I'm not participating!)
Haya “Kom, Muriël. Niet zuur gaan lopen doen als het om zoiets heerlijks als chocolade gaat.” (Come on, Frye. Don't get all sour now when it comes to something as delicious as chocolate.)
Haya “En het belangrijkste aan chocolade is de cacao, toch? Dus puur wint. Sowieso.” (And the most essential thing about chocolate is cocoa, isn't it? So dark chocolate wins. Undoubtedly.)
Haya “En andere chocolade is maar snoepgoed, maar puur heeft anti... antidingesstoffen.” (And other chocolates are merely confectionery, but dark chocolate has anti... anti-thingamajig substances.)
Haya “Puur is goed voor je, dus de rest is slecht. Dat zegt de wetenschap.” (Dark chocolate is good for you, so all the rest is bad. That's what science says.)	Muriël “Die antidingesstoffen zijn je naar het hoofd gestegen, geloof ik! Dit klinkt als pure onzin!” (I believe those anti-thingamajig substances have gone to your head! This sounds like pure nonsense!)
	Ray “Ay. Ay. (Rustig aan, Haya. Dat soort bittere waarheden moet je wat zoeter brengen.)” (Ay. Ay. (Easy there, Shiver. Those kinds of bitter truths have to be brought a bit sweeter.))
Haya “Bah! Jullie zijn zo flauw als die mierzoete romige chocolade van jullie.” (Bah! You folks are as tasteless as that cloyingly sweet creamy chocolate of yours.)
	Ray “Ay! Ay! (Mmm! Mierzoete, romige witte chocolade! Alsof je snoezigheid kan eten!)” (Ay! Ay! (Mmm! Cloyingly sweet, creamy white chocolate! It's as if you could eat adorableness!))
	Ray “Ay! Ay! Ay! (En de smaken die ze erdoorheen mengen! Groene thee! Aardbei!)” (Ay! Ay! Ay! (And the flavors they mix it with! Matcha! Strawberry!))
Muriël “Ooo, aarbei maakt me altijd blij! Misschien is witte chocolade toch de beste keuze...” (Oooh, strawberry always makes me merry! Maybe white chocolate is the best choice after all...)
Muriël “Hm, maar ik houd van ALLES aan chocolade. De geur, de zoetigheid, de romigheid...” (Hm, but I love EVERYTHING about chocolate. The smell, the sweetness, the creaminess...)	Ray “Ay? (En welke daarvan vind je het belangrijkste?)” (Ay? (And which of those do you find most important?))
Muriël “Nou, alles! Daarom is melkchocolade ook zo ontzettend de beste!” (Well, everything! That's why milk chocolate is so incredibly the best!)
Muriël “Melkchocolade is de perfecte mix van alles wat er lekker is aan chocolade!” (Milk chocolate is the perfect mix of everything that makes chocolate tasty!)
Haya “Hier gaan we het niet over eens worden...” (We're not going to agree on this...)	Ray “Ay! Ay? Ay! (Nou zeg! Wij het niet eens? Wie had dat ooit verwacht!)” (Ay! Ay? Ay! (Hey now! We not going to agree? Who would have ever expected that!))
Haya “Laten we er om wedden. De verliezers kopen chocolade naar keuze voor de winnaar.” (Let's bet on it. The losers buy chocolate of their choice for the winner.)
Muriël “Ik vind het best. Ik kijk nu al uit naar mijn stapel hemels zoete melkchocolade!” (I don't mind. I am already looking forward to my pile of heavenly sweet milk chocolate!)
	Ray “Ay... Ay? (Hm... Is dat wel gezond, na al die zoetigheid van het vorige Splatfest?)” (Ay... Ay? (Hm... Is that even healthy, after all that sweetness of the previous Splatfest?))

Frye “Wat anders dan die in chocolade gedompelde ui? Wat dan? Witlof in witte chocolade?” (Something other than the chocolate-dipped onion? Like what? Belgian endive in white chocolate?)
Shiver “Er is hier een chocoladefonduezaak in de buurt waar alles mag! Spruitjes in choco!” (There's a chocolate fondue place in the neighborhood here where anything goes! Brussels sprouts in choco!)	Big Man “A-Ay?! (A-Als we het bij normale chocolade houden, dan koop ik ook voor jullie, oké?!)” (A-ay?! (I-If we stick to regular chocolate, I'll buy some for you folks too, okay?!))

Кулла «Какой шоколад круче всех? Горький, молочный или белый?» (Which chocolate is the coolest of all? Bitter, milk or white?)	Мурия «Йо-о-о! Эту тему выбрали потому, что моя команда «Сладенькое» победила?» (Yo-o-o! This theme was chosen because my team «A little sweet» won?)
Кулла «На сладком свет клином не сошелся! Горький шоколад не зря так называется...» (Sweet isn't the only thing in the world! Bitter chocolate isn't called like that for nothing...)
	Мурия «Ой, да кому эта горькая гадость нужна! Молочный такой нежный и сладкий...» (Oh, who even needs this bitter muck? Milk chocolate is so tender and sweet...)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (А белый, между прочим, еще нежнее и слаще!)» (Ay! (By the way, white chocolate is even more tender and sweet!))
	Мурия «Гр-р-р! А больше одного точно нельзя выбрать? Нет? Ну все, я не участвую...» (Gr-r-r! Are you sure you can't choose more than one? No? That's it, I don't participate...)
Кулла «Спокойно! Выдыхай, расслабься, подумай о шоколаде! Самое важное лакомство же!» (Calm down! Breathe, relax, think about chocolate! It's the most important treat after all!)
Кулла «А что самое важное в самом шоколаде? Какао! А значит, горький круче всех!» (And what's the most important thing in chocolate itself? Cacao! Which means, bitter chocolate is the coolest of all!)
Кулла «К тому же, горький шоколад - не только вкусняшка, он еще и анти... чего-то там!» (Besides, bitter chocolate isn't just a treat, it's also an anti... something!)
Кулла «Сейчас не припомню, но горький шоколад точно только с плохим может бороться!» (I can't remember just now, but bitter chocolate can only fight something bad!)	Мурия «М-да, логика железная! Кулла, у тебя точно интоксикация от всей этой горечи!» (What a flawless logic! Shiver, you definitely have intoxication from all this bitterness!)
Кулла «Ну вот, а как все хорошо начиналось. Я уж думала, что смогу вас переубедить...» (Come on, it all started so well... I thought I could convince you...)	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик! (Да нет же, Кулла, я тогда сказал «Не бросай фантик!», а не «анти»!)» (Ay! Ay! (Oh no, Shiver, I said «Don't drop the candy wrapper!», not «anti»!))
Notes: Big Man's joke is based on the words фантик fantik (candy wrapper) and анти anti (anti) sounding similar to each other in Russian.
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Вернемся к теме! Белый шоколад – как элегантная волна вкуса!)» (Ay! (Back to the topic! White chocolate is like an elegant wave of taste!))
	Биг Ман «Ик! (А еще из него делают другие сорта шоколада, например маття!)» (Ay! (They also make other types of chocolate out of it, matcha for example!))
	Мурия «О, этот мне нравится! Похоже, что белый шоколад и правда не так плох!» (Oh, I like that one! Looks like white chocolate really isn't that bad!)
Мурия «В общем, мне главное – чтобы шоколад был мягкий, сладкий и вкусно пах!» (In general, the main thing for me is that the chocolate should be soft, sweet and smell delicious!)	Биг Ман «Ик? (А все-таки, что важнее всего?)» (Ay? (And yet, what matters most?))
	Мурия «Все важно! Поэтому молочный и круче всех – он идеально сбалансирован!» (Everything matters! That's why milk chocolate is the coolest of all – it's perfectly balanced!)
	Мурия «Ведь и ежу понятно: он сочетает лучшие качества всех шоколадов!» (After all, it's a no-brainer: it combines the best qualities of all chocolates!)
Кулла «Сдается мне, что мы снова ни к чему не придем...» (It seems to me that we won't come to anything again ...)	Биг Ман «Ик... Ик! Ик! (Да перестань, мы каждый раз отлично договариваемся!)» (Ay... Ay! Ay! (Oh come on, we reach an excellent agreement every time!))
Кулла «Давайте лучше так договоримся: кто победит, тот получает от проигравших свой любимый шоколад!» (Let's better agree on this: whoever wins gets their favorite chocolate from the losers!)
	Мурия «Запросто! Мне как раз снова сладкого захотелось!» (Easy! I just wanted something sweet again!)
	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик... (Мне тоже. Вот видите, договорились же!)» (Ay! Ay... (Me too. You see, we agreed!))
Кулла «Это вроде все, что вам нужно знать. Не забудьте проголосовать!» (Looks like that's all you need to know. Don't forget to vote!)	Биг Ман «Ик! Ик. (Не забудьте про Сплатфест-майку! Проголосуйте и зайдите в меню «Снаряжение».)» (Ay! Ay. (And don't forget about the Splatfest Tee! Vote and check the «Equip» menu.))

	Биг Ман «Ик! (Команда «Белый шоколад» победила!)» (Ay! (Team «White chocolate» won!))
Кулла «Что-о-о?! Кто-то напутал цифры!» (Wha-a-at?! Someone messed up the numbers!)	Мурия «Эх! Я была так уверена, что моя команда победит!» (Oh! I was so sure that my team will win!)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Спасибо, команда! Противники вынуждены были выкинуть белый флаг!)» (Ay! (Thank you team! The opponents were forced to throw out the white flag!))
Кулла «Хм. Команда «Горький шоколад» заставила соперников пролить немало горьких слез.» (Hm. Team «Bitter chocolate» made the opponents shed many bitter tears.)	Мурия «Команда «Молочный шоколад» – тоже не молокоеды какие! Было круто!» (Team «Milk chocolate» are also not some milk eaters! It was cool!)
Notes: The word молокоеды molokoyedy (milk eaters) is a Russian meaning for "mammalians" and is used here instead of a word молокосос molokosos (sucker, or literally, milk sucker).
	Биг Ман «Ик? Ик? (Уговор помните? Проигравшие покупают шоколад для победителя!)» (Ay? Ay? (Do you remember the deal? Losers buy chocolate for the winner!))
Кулла «Эх, щупальце меня укуси... Ладно..» (Ah, bloody tentacle... Alright...)
Кулла «Да мы и так друг другу шоколад каждый год дарим. У нас же традиция, помните?» (We give each other chocolate every year anyway. This is our tradition, remember?)	Мурия «И то верно! Я ведь и так Биг Ману каждый год шоколад покупаю!» (And that is true! I do buy Big Man chocolate every year anyway!)
	Биг Ман «Ик... (Э, Мурия, надеюсь, сейчас ты мне не как в прошлый год подаришь?)» (Ay... (Wait, Frye, I hope you won't give me the same one like last year?))
	Мурия «Хм? А, ты про шоколадный кускус?» (Hm? Ah, you mean the chocolate couscous?)
Кулла «Кстати, тут рядом ресторан с шоколадным фонтаном. Там и не такое есть. Айда?» (By the way, there's a restaurant with a chocolate fountain nearby. And they have even more than that. Shall we?)	Биг Ман «И-ик?! (А давайте я отдам вам шоколадки, но мы поедим что-нибудь нормальное?!)» (A-ay?! (Maybe I should give you the chocolates, but we will eat something normal instead?!))

Trivia

• This Splatfest happened near Valentine's Day, which is often celebrated by giving chocolates to loved ones.
• This was the second Splatfest in Splatoon 3 to have a food theme, with Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour being the first.
  • Some previous Splatoon 3 Splatfests have had food-themed options.
• As evidenced by the announcement dialogue, this Splatfest's theme seems to be a result of Team Sweet winning. However, the events of the Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour Splatfest were not originally referenced in the Japanese dialogue.
• The visual bug wherein Octolings appeared to have Inkling eyes and ears if they boarded a Splatfest Float persists from the last Splatfest event. This glitch was patched out in version 3.0.0.
• During Tricolor Battles, in the bar depicting turf percentages, Team Dark Chocolate's color was completely black, unlike the ink color. This was likely done to in order to look like the color of real-life dark chocolate, to match the colors of milk and white chocolate.
• This was the first Splatfest in Splatoon 3 to have entirely unique colors, featuring only one returning color being Blue.
