Marina:I went to Mount Nantai every day for a week, just hoping you would show up again.

Other:

• Pearl is portrayed as very handsome and knowledgeable, similar to shōjo love interests when drawn by Marina (Dear Pearl Manga)

•A large amount of sparkles and flower petals are present in almost every panel that features Pearl that Marina Draws (Dear Pearl Manga)

•At the end of the manga, it is revealed that Marina is writing a confession letter to Pearl, which likely contains the title in its greeting. Alternatively, the manga as a whole may be intended as a love letter to Pearl (Dear Pearl Manga)

•Marina: "[she is] so small...but [she is] so big." In the panels showing the letter that Marina is writing, she muses about wanting to shout out "these feelings [for Pearl]"(Dear Pearl Manga)

•In the Japanese version of the Splatoon Base website, Marina was labeled as a "maiden in love" in her feelings towards Pearl (Dear Pearl Manga)

•They both refer to each other by nicknames such as “Pearlie” and “Rina”

•Hisashi Nogami stated that the final Splatfest was not based on Pearl vs. Marina because unlike the Squid Sisters, who had a form of a rivalry between them, Off the Hook is based on Pearl and Marina being together, with their bond being the strongest part of them.

•in Side Order, where Marina frequently uses heart emojis when speaking about Pearl in her dev diaries and compares herself to a "storybook princess" at the top of a tower who "brave Pearl" must rescue.

•after hearing the Squid Sisters sing the Calamari Inkantation. According to witnesses, her only comment was "This changes everything." She escaped to Mount Nantai, even though she didn't know a word of the Inkling language. While there, she met an Inkling named Pearl, who was practicing singing. Growing on each other, Pearl then taught Marina about Inkling culture and customs. After this, Marina came back to Mount Nantai every day for two weeks, hoping to find Pearl again. When she did, she showed Pearl her musical abilities through her demo of Ebb & Flow and Pearl immediately agreed to them starting a band that they decided to call Off the Hook. (Splatoon 2 DLC Octo Expansion chat logs)

•When discussing with Cuttlefish about Marina's technological achievements, Pearl finally discovered her history as a member of the Octarian army, and despite being deeply shocked, she promised to remain friends with her. (Splatoon 2 DLC Octo Expansion chat logs)

This is just the text based evidence. Tumblr has a ten image limit so I plan to attach those in a different post. I am making this for those who try to deny the queer aspect of Pearl and Marina’s relationship. Please feel free to DM or reblog with additional evidence that can be added, and if possible please attach the source. They will be added if I can validate the information as authentic.

Delving into Pearl and Marina’s relationship

After seeing the new trailer for Splatoon 3’s DLC, Side Order, which seems to focus on Off the Hook, I wanted to make a quick recap of their relationship up until now.

The idol duo Off the Hook consists of its two members, Pearl and Marina. Pearl being the more outgoing inkling rapper of the group and Marina being a clever octoling DJ.

Firstly, their base designs make it clear that they are supposed to be opposites. Marina being tall and having big ears and Pearl being shorter than the average inkling and having small ears, would be one example of this. Another would be their clothing. Whereas Pearl wears a white dress with golden accents, Marina mainly wears black clothing with silver details. Unlike the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook’s idol outfits only match in certain aspects, like their boots and zippers, yet they still look like a cohesive duo despite that. The most prominent opposite would be the fact that Pearl is an inkling and Marina is an octoling, however. Also keep in mind that Marina was one of the first octolings coming to the surface after she heard the Calamari Inkantation.

You first encounter Off the Hook in game during their stage announcements*, where you learn small bits about their personality. Here you see how they mock each other in a playful way, but are still supportive of one another as friends. It also highlights how close they are, as they know a lot about each other and seem to spend a lot of time together.

Though Off the Hook doesn’t play a major role in the base game, they really have a chance to shine in the Octo Expansion DLC. Most of their characterization here is done through chat rooms* that add a lot of personality as well as some more information regarding their relationship. While still joking and mocking each other, they also frequently compliment and show admiration for the other. For instance, when Marina calls Pearl “srsly the coolest” (Session 3), as well as Pearl considering Marina “one of the best people [she knows]” (Session 6). On some occasions, their close bond is even displayed through pictures, like when Pearl shares a photo of Marina napping on a Pearl pillow. But even in more serious moments like when Pearl learns of Marina’s past, she still decides to trust her and even goes as far as to threaten Craig Cuttlefish. Marina is also incredibly grateful to Pearl and thanks her when she assures Marina that she will still be accepted in Inkopolis.

Off the Hooks’ admiration for each other is also clearly displayed in their backstory. Though Pearl probably was the first inkling she encountered on the surface, Marina had a “feeling about [her]” (session 8) and asked her to form a band after only meeting a few times prior on Mount Nantai. She even went as far as to go to the Mountain for a whole week in hopes of seeing Pearl again. Later on, Pearl taught Marina “everything [she] needed to know” (Session 8) and is still extremely thankful to her.

By the time the player reaches the final boss of Octo Expansion, they finally meet Off the Hook in person. Though the player’s time with them is cut short due to the looming battle, their characteristics still shine through. Marina clearly idolizes Pearl, as seen in her drawing during the explanation of the fight. After defeating the NILS statue, Marina immediately rushes to hug Pearl, which clearly indicates how important Pearl is to her.

Furthermore, the Final Splatfest really illustrates their bond well. The new special shifty station “MC. Princess Diaries” or also known as “Dear Senpai” in the Japanese version depicts Marina’s admiration for Pearl again. Senpai describes an upperclassman mentoring an underclassman in Japan. As Pearl taught Marina everything about Inkopolis, she can be considered an upperclassman to Marina. Additionally, Marina is the one responsible for building the shifty station, which in this case is in the image of the Octo Expansions final boss, so we can assume the title reflects her standpoint. Marina clearly has a deep affection towards Pearl and cherishes her. I’d also like to add that the title almost sounds like the beginning of a letter, like Marina having learned everything there is to know and now saying farewell, which might have something to do with Side Order (I might be reading too much into this, though). Perhaps it could also reflect a love letter written for Pearl. In addition, Pearl could also consider Marina an upperclassman to her, as she taught Pearl a lot about music, such as meter and rhythm.

During the Final Splatfests announcement, Marina voices her concerns about Off the Hook breaking apart. Lines such as “Off the Hook means everything to me! It's all I have in this world...” show clearly how grateful she is to have met Pearl. Yet, Pearl also reassures her by stating that Marina has “WAAAY more going for [her] than just Off the Hook.”, displaying Pearl’s trust in her.

After the Final Fest reached its conclusion, the results were announced. Pearl begins by describing the time she has spent with Marina as “the best years of [her] life” which worries Marina, as she believes Off the Hook is going to break up. But to everyone’s relieve, Pearl just wants the duo to break into new genres of music as they “take over the world” together. After promising that they are going to stay together, Pearl reassures Marina, that she loves her, really conveying the close bond they have. This part of the dialogue wouldn’t have changed if Team Order had won, highlighting its importance. Besides, we can still see them making music together with the band Damp Socks in Splatoon 3.

Lastly, I want to talk about some media outside the games. In an Octotune interview with Pearl, she states that meeting Marina is the best gift she has ever received, signaling how she cherishes Marina and how much the time they have spent together means to her. Furthermore, the Splatoon manga includes a short shōjo manga (a type of manga targeted towards teen girls) addressed to Pearl called “Dear Pearl” where Pearl is drawn in a very idolized style, similar to shōjo love interests, as well. The last panel of the manga depicts a love letter addressed to Pearl. In the Japanese version, the manga ends with Marina dreaming about shouting out "these feelings [for Pearl]" through a megaphone. Similarly, the relationship between Pearl and Marina is described as ”Marina, let's make the whole world ours!" - "Yes, Pearl-senpai!” in the official Splatoon 2 character chart. In another official relationship chart, Marina is described as a “maiden in love” with Pearl’s description stating “it is me”, implying Marina has romantic feelings for Pearl.

Whether you ship them or not, you cannot deny that they don’t have a lot of respect and adoration for each other. Their relationship is really sweet, and I can’t wait to see how Side Order will develop it further. Their ink colors really became something special after being mixed together.

Stay fresh and thank you for reading!

“It's you and me against the universe, 'Rina!”

(Also, I tried to keep this as neutral as possible, but those two are definitely in a relationship)

*Here’s some stage announcements as examples:

Port Mackerel:

Pearl : Marina! What's the appeal of using a brella on this stage?

Marina : Protecting my precious Pearlie at all costs!

Wahoo World:

Pearl : Remember when we rode the roller coaster for six hours straight?

Marina : That was nothing compared to the eight hours we spent on the Death Drop!

Pearl : Yo, at night, the Ferris wheel's all... like...sparkly and junk.

Marina : You're so adorable, Pearl.

The Reef:

Pearl : Look at me! I'm Marina! BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Marina : Ahaha! Yeah, that's so me!

Pearl : My best friend took me to this amazing cake shop in The Reef the other day!

Marina : But I don't remember going to a cake shop...

Snapper Canal:

Pearl : I've been here before. A boy from school brought me when I was a kid...

Marina : REALLY?! Was it a date? A battle? Spill it, Pearlie!

Kelp Dome:

Pearl : I bet you looooove all the weird machinery here, don't you, Marina?

Marina : Is it that obvious?!

Pearl : Yo, I'll splat a dude with attitude, I don't carrot all like rabbit food!

Marina : OHHHHHHHHHHHH! Best rapper alive.

New Albacore Hotel:

Pearl : Remember that time you tried to drown me here? Good times.

Marina : For the last time, I was trying to help you get to the floating stage!

Manta Maria:

Pearl : Let's sail across the seas and make our debut in the new world!

Marina : OK, but only if you learn how to at least say hi in another language first.

Pearl : The ocean is breathtaking, yo... I wonder if there are any little fishies around.

Marina : Fishies? Aww! Pearl, you're so cute...

Moray Towers:

Pearl : Hey! How come I always have to talk first when we announce the stages?

Marina : To set up the punch line, of course! How else am I supposed to poke fun at you?

Arowana Mall:

Pearl : The shops here sell different stuff than the ones in The Reef. I love it!

Marina : I know! It's so cool you found a place that carries XXXS-size shirts!

*Some examples from the chat rooms:

Session 3:

MC.Princess > Yo how do I make the chat window full screen? DJ_Hyperfresh > Alt-F4 ■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has left the chatroom. DJ_Hyperfresh > Can't believe that actually worked...

DJ_Hyperfresh > Don't tell her I said this, but Pearl is srsly the coolest.

Session 6:

MC.Princess > So you probably can't tell but just between you and me, Marina's kind of a weirdo. She's like freakishly tall and way to smart for her own good MC.Princess > just the other day she built an entire battle stage all by herself. It had huge floating rocks and everything. Crazy right?

MC.Princess > WHAT. Nah, Marina would never design something like that CraigCuttlefish > its right there in the file MC.Princess > now that you mention it, Marina IS totally obsessed with machines. And she's definitely the hardest working person i know

MC.Princess > Right?! She might have some skeletons in her closet, but who doesn't am i right? Marina is one of the best people i know. CraigCuttlefish > i guess shes okay for an octo MC.Princess > I swear, cuttlefish. If you try to splat Marina I WILL CUT A FISH. U GOT THAT?

Session 7:

DJ_Hyperfresh > Do you think I'll still be welcome in Inkopolis? Once everyone knows I'm an Octoling? MC.Princess > ARE YOU KIDDING? Of course you will! everyone loves you! DJ_Hyperfresh > Thanks, Pearlie. ;__;

Session 8:

DJ_Hyperfresh > That makes sense. You've got a knack for teaching. ♪

DJ_Hyperfresh > Haha, remember when we first met, Pearl? I had just come to the surface, and I didn't understand Inkopolis at all. You taught me everything I needed to know.

DJ_Hyperfresh > I went to Mount Nantai every day for a week, just hoping you would show up again.

MC.Princess > LOL Marina I just remembered you made that entire demo using that half-busted keyboard you had. But somehow the hook was still dope

DJ_Hyperfresh > I was shocked the first time I heard you rap. I thought for sure you were gonna be wack tbh, but once you started spittin I was like, "dang, this munchkin got bars."

DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, I know we talk a lot of smack on the show and all, but I just wanted to say thanks. For everything.

Octotune interview:

Q17: What is the best gift you have ever received? Pearl: The chance to meet Marina.

I got an idea, Yuu gets sent to the sports devision of their company for a bit because of someone going on like maternity leave or something. Yuu thinks that it’ll be a nice little vacation from constant kidnappings, but no turns out Charon wanted to interrupt the broadcast of the latest magishift game with his overwatch stream, and ortho shows up and yoinks Yuu back to the Charon’s lair so they have a firsthand account on how good Charon is at overwatch and how e-sports deserves their own channel.

Then the next week King and Octo dealer “team” up to flood the stadium, mainly because it’s Kings least favorite team and Octo dealer wanted to advertise a new underwater themed restaurant and poor Yuu just wants a break from all of this water when Royal flush dumps a load of stolen tea into the flooded stadium, because why not.

And when Yuu is sent to write an article on a archery tournament, funded by the famous Vil schoenheit who Yuu has a seat next to and Vil’s been such a sweetheart to them, offering water and a shade umbrella. The Huntsman shows up, smokes the competition and tries to pull a Robin Hood and get a kiss from Yuu for his victory, which vil calls security and huntsman decides to get his kiss later and flees.

Then later Viper takes the sports news office hostage for a bit, something about the Asim family’s magishift team playing today , Yuu becomes Vipers secretary for a bit, being forced to write the negotiation emails while Viper is sitting next to them resting his head on their shoulder, of course someone took a photo of them sitting like that and for the next few weeks, viper got his all his plans ruined by the others.

And on the last day of working in the sports sector, Tsunotaro just had to show up and take Yuu away, demanding attention because he hasn’t seen his favorite reporter in a few months, dragging them off to some abandoned building to tour, picking them bridal style after awhile and after mentioning how they seem a bit lighter than usual, dragging Yuu out to an expensive restaurant to eat and dropping Yuu off at their apartment afterwards like a gentleman.

At least Yuu got paid well after all of this and got some time off (basing that off that sport newscaster and reporters get paid a bit more compared to investigative reporters were I’m from)

Thank you for the ask, dear anon!

Yuu didn’t think it would be an easy few weeks, per say. They know the basic rules of most sports, but not enough about the more intricate details to really feel confident about reporting on them.

But Yuna-san told them it would mean a pay raise while they did it and Yukari-senpai seemed really happy when they agreed to cover for her maternity leave so she could go be with her wife and their new baby boy. How bad could it be?

Yuu should have never asked that question.

The first days of the first week gives them hope, is the sad thing.

They study up so they can accurately report on who scored higher than who in what sport, and what that means for each team in the long run. By the third day, of the largest basketball game the city has hosted in a while, between the home boys and the favorites of the national league, Yuu’s almost feeling confident about their ability to report on it.

Which is exactly when Hermes breaks into the press box to kidnap them halfway through the first set.

They try explaining to him on the way to Charon’s lair why this time it really is important that he takes them back, even appealing to Charon himself once they arrive at his lair.

Unfortunately, Yuu has managed to hit on one of Idia’s bugbears—that anyone could enjoy a dirty, sweaty, “real” sport over the obviously superior E-sports that the net has to offer! He’s a finalist in the first ever Herowatch 2 tournament after the developers shut down the first Herowatch’s servers, but does any of that get mentioned on the news?! No!

Idia decides to rectify this clear mistake by taking the entire basketball stadium hostage, using his drones to forcibly clear the court so he can use the space to stream his e-tournament for the audience’s enjoyment! Surely, with Yuu commentating over this, he’ll be able to wake up so many of these sheeple to how much better e-sports are!!

It takes five hours for Herowatch 2 to let him get to the main menu, only for it to boot him from his team and cause an automatic disqualification in the first minute of the match.

There’s the sound of a controller being thrown against a wall and Yuu and Ortho awkwardly attempting to comfort the supervillain.

Yuu is thinking that at least basketball isn’t as major a sport in the city as Magift. It still doesn’t instill them with confidence when they’re told in week 2 that they’ll need to report on a major Magift playoffs game.

They at least won’t be one of the main people reporting on it—that’s reserved for the big national stations, with professional sports reporters who do this as a career. Yuu will just be down in the press box, scribbling notes for reporting on the game afterwards.

Which, given it’s perfect view of the field and not of the stands, is why they don’t notice the slouching and upright vendors who’ve been handing out free sodas and water to all the fans until it’s too late.

Even as they catch a glimpse and realization dawns, there’s a crackle of static as the announcers’ voices suddenly cut off, replaced with King’s dulcet tones dismissing the game as a wash because he dislikes one of the teams. A chill goes down Yuu’s spine as they hear him go, “maybe you herbivores would understand if it was more literal, yeah?”

Which is when salt water begins bursting from every entrance to the stadium.

The press box is glass, and the door seems to be an airtight fire door of some kind, but Yuu can’t help crying out in horror as the water level rises above the heads of all the fans and players—!

Which is when a scuffle comes over the loudspeakers and Leviathan’s slick voice announces that all the drinks the fans were provided with free of charge and the water the players have been hydrating themselves with were dosed with the same serum that allows tourists to the Coral Sea to breathe underwater.

Yuu watches, nonplussed, as Jade and Floyd in their natural forms place a device down in the middle of the field that somehow unfolds to a full-scale bar, complete with freestanding tables and stools. Azul only gets part of the way through his explanation of his new Monstro Lounge location before Leona steals the microphone back out of boredom, and a scuffle ensues.

All the while, Yuu’s attention is suddenly caught by something dropping through the open top of the stadium, which then begins leeching a brown color into the surrounding water…

Royal is screeching. That tea was meant for the audience and the players to drink, in accordance with Rule 523: Exertions other than crocket must be sated with oolong tea! Now the tea can’t even be drunk, it’s all salty and ruined!

It takes a very, very long time for the stadium to be drained, and Yuu has a migraine pounding behind their eyes from the supervillain’s squabbling by the time they get home.

After this debacle, the option to just write an article on an upcoming archery tournament is practically a relief.

Even more so when it turns out Vil Schoenheit is there. The actor tells them that he’s there to support one of his juniors, and Yuu’s pleasantly surprised to see Epel in the line up, looking like he’s not about to go all evil magical boy for once, actually excited to compete and show off his physical prowess.

Yuu graciously accepts Vil’s offer to sit in his box with him, so they can cheer Epel on together (they privately rationalize it as payment for not letting the actor know his “junior” is actually a supervillain’s minion). It’s nice, getting to chat generally while complimenting or lightly joking about the efforts of each of the participants.

And then the masked archer appears on the field in a plume of violet smoke.

It’s the Huntsman. It’s very obviously the Huntsman, even before his voice praising the beauté of the efforts of the previous archers rings out.

He casually nocks several arrows in rapid succession and lets fly a string of bulls-eyes on every target as he strolls across the field towards Vil’s box.

Yuu’s already standing, with one arm thrown out to shield Vil by the time the Huntsman leans against it, smiling winningly up at them and saying, “Traditionally, it is custom for les plus beaux du monde to give un ‘tit bisou to the vainqueur, n’est pas, Trickester?”

Yuu’s saved from doing much more than stuttering as they fluster by Poison Apple appearing from nowhere (re: Epel’s dressing room) and attempt to drop kick the Huntsman’s head. From there, it devolves into an all out brawl between the two minions.

Vil Schoenheit luckily has a cool head on his shoulders and nerves of steel, because he’s very quick to direct security to take care of the villains and evacuate alongside Yuu, while not looking more than mildly annoyed all the while.

(Poison Queen is seething. It seems both his minions will be needing as lesson in manners and who exactly is allowed to ask for kisses from whom later.)

They’ve learned enough from all this to be preemptively wary when they’re told they’ll be reporting on another Magift game from the studio the next week.

Even though it’s a small game this time, between two local college teams, their heart sinks faster when they hear one of the Asim children is on the more prestigious team, which has also has the Asim Conglomerate sponsoring it and most of the advertisers who are being featured during the breaks.

It’s hardly a surprise when several of the interns and sound crew begin acting strangely, before taking their colleagues hostage alongside some disguised Scarabia minions and shutting off the room from the rest of the building so Snake Charmer and Water Boy can come waltzing in.

Yuu is pretty much resigned to it when the supervillain effectively deputizes them during the broadcast to write hostage negotiation emails that mainly consist of the Asim family signing all the revenue their advertising companies earn over to Snake Charmer.

Water Boy has taken over the actually reporting bit of the broadcast, which seems to have devolved into airing all the embarrassing things the Asim kid on the team used to do when he was little, though how he got that information, Yuu has no idea.

As the day goes on, Snake Charmer seems to have decided that his ideal seating position is stealing Yuu’s chair and pulling them into his lap, hooking his chin over their shoulder as he dictates threats and demands, occasionally dragging his knuckles or splaying a hand over their vulnerable stomach, delighting in the way it makes Yuu jump.

Of course, Snake Charmer seems to have forgotten that the cameras are still rolling. (Jamil will maintain after weeks of sabotaged schemes that it was worth it.)

By the time they reach the end of their tenure, Yuu’s exhausted.

They really don’t put up much of a fight when Malleus appears as they’re walking from the bus stop and scoops them up.

Malleus, noting this odd compliance without even a hint of banter, and how they look worryingly drawn and haggard, decides to cut their building tour short so he can ensure his child of man gets some good (if shockingly expensive) food into them and sees them home for a good night’s sleep.

Yuu, unheeding of the fact that it is two in the afternoon, immediately collapses into bed.

Grim finds them there and curls up on their face to sleep as well.

With octo mermaid child Mc placed in their dorm

Scenarios and imagines, headcanons 1

Ceremony scenarios 1

Azul

. You appeared in an unknown place out of no where so you were freaking

. You were inking everywhere and crying

. Azul was confused when he saw you what’s a child doing at the nrc

. All the people and the combination of how scary everything was for you ran away to hide somewhere

. Since you were placed in azuls dorm you were his responsibility

. He thought it would be a bad idea for tweels to get you right now because that would probably scare you more

. Finding you wasn’t hard you literally left a trail of ink behind you

. You were hiding in a pot in the lunch rooms kitchen

. You were really distressed you were crying hoping Azul would go away

. He noticed the movement from the pot

. Honestly you kind of reminded him of him when he was a child hiding in pots and inking a lot

. Azul : I know your in their come out the ceremony is still going on

Azul : stop ignoring me you will find listening to me will keep you safe

. He was getting tired of this but he knew if he tried to remove the pot you would ink him

. Azul decided the best way to handle this was a peace offering

. That usually did get him out of his pot when he was younger

. He had a conch shell in his pocket and offered it to her and it worked

Jade

. He really scared you and you were already frightened

. You ran away leaving ink everywhere and you were crying

. Azul tasked jade with retreaving you Azul didn’t take into account jade is jade and he’s definitely gonna to mess with you before bringing you back

. Also jade doesn’t has as much experience with kids compared to the other parts of the trio

. Jade was pretty excited to catch you since the ceremony was getting boring for him

. You were hiding in a pot in the kitchen

. You were praying he didn’t find you

. He knew where you were but it would be no fun catching you immediately
