YOU'RE A KID NOW YOU'RE A SQUID NOW YOU'RE A KID YO-

From Greater Inkopolis comes H2Whoa, with some refreshing BGM for battles! Despite having just formed, this band has already attracted tons of attention. The rock-loving youths of the Splatlands are puzzled, but can't hide their interest, saying "The pretentious lyrics and visuals are kinda annoying, but the candidness of it is fresh."

ハイカラ地方出身、H2Whoa（エイチツーウォー）の爽やかなナンバーがバトルBGMに加わるぞ。 結成間もないが既に注目を集めている話題のユニットだ。 ラウドロックを好むバンカラの若者たちも「スカした歌詞とビジュアルがなんか鼻につくが、正直そこがイカす」と、戸惑いつつも興味を隠せない様子だ。

One radio station in Splatsville gave one of their songs a heavy amount of play, and H2Whoa began to garner attention. Time to introduce, that song, called "Aquasonic". Cool down from a scorching battle with those husky and transparent vocals and synths, and a rhythm that speeds like a gushing stream of water!

バンカラ街のあるラジオ局が彼らの曲をヘビーローテーションし、H2Whoaは注目を集めるようになった。 その曲「Aquasonic」をご紹介しよう。 迸る水流のようなスピード感のリズム、ハスキーかつ透明感のあるボーカルとシンセに乗って、灼けつくバトルを涼やかにこなそう！

In the first game we have og agent three with green ink, which is also commonly used to represent inklings/squids in official arts as well as the Race War.

For octolings/octopi, they are usually depicted with red or pink inks. Warm or inverse colors, essentially.

For agent four, their ink is usually a yellow-orange color in official art (+section one), but section two onwards they have all cool colors. Also, when it comes to fighting Octavio (+the last section), they choose the color green. But why would they change their color to that in the most important parts of that game? Why not use yellow-orange like they are usually depicted with? More on this later.

Octo Expansion comes around, and we see agent eight with pink ink, as expected for an octoling. Agent three is also seen with their green ink from the first game. But, during the inner three fight, they’re orange instead. This could just be a reference to the first game’s colors as eight has blue, but what if it’s more?

Now let’s look at the third game. New agent three with yellow ink. Close to green, but a warm color like red… or pink.

What I’m trying to get at is, what if these colors are meant to symbolize Squidbeak’s change in heart? Originally they were meant to exterminate Octarians, but now they are working together to (presumably) bring peace to both species and promote unity. To show this, their ink colors move away from the infamous green to a more “neutral” color. Which has a chance of implying that:

three being orange in the inner fight might mean that any hate they could have had for eight is resolved, and that fight is more for the fun of it than hate for each other

four possibly had a more positive idea of octolings until section two, where they no longer had warm colors. Possibly because of the scrolls and hypnotized Callie. The final stages could have too been the last straw leading them to change all the way to green
