Sheldon's Introduction The Wasabi Splattershot is a Splattershot set featuring a few key adjustments by yours truly! The main weapon is pretty much the same as before, but Splat Bombs really amp up its frontline capability.

Trivia

• The European Nintendo Direct incorrectly showed the Wasabi Splattershot's special weapon as the Inkzooka instead of the Inkstrike. That would not be allowed, because the Inkzooka had already been taken by the Tentatek Splattershot.
• This weapon was absent from Splatoon 2, likely in favor of the Kensa Splattershot being the new third variant of the Splattershot.
  • However, Splatoon 3 would later add in a new variant of the Tentatek Splattershot that featured Splat Bombs and the Triple Inkstrike, making it a successor to the Wasabi Splattershot's toolset.

Etymology

Wasabi Splattershot is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat) and Shot. It also has the word Wasabi as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot and the Tentatek Splattershot. The word Wasabi most likely refers to its color scheme.

Its Japanese name, スプラシューターワサビ Supurashūtā Wasabi, is a combination of either Splat or Splash, and Shooter. It contains the word "Wasabi" for the same reasons as its English name.
