stuff about Power, Sharkilz's trident on Ocean SMP

[from November 12, 2025]

OBVIOUSLY naming the trident "Power" is because it makes Sharkilz more powerful (go figure). But the way that there was a flashback to first meeting Sour right before naming the trident makes me think that he named the trident for something more. Something like the fact that Sour gave him the power to defeat the Fire Clan by giving him the stolen items. Plus, when Sharkilz got his hands on the trident as Sour was being held hostage, that's when he did everything in his power to not only defeat the clan but to save Sour. (And then he proceeds to kill Sour and take all the loot for himself, against his own will (but it was also very much for his own will))

Just rewatched ep2 and I love the symbolism with the trident Power. Every moment that power is mentioned, Power is shown. Being put into an environment where his Power is at a disadvantage, Sharkilz shows vulnerability. He has a physical disadvantage due to the trident not working well in the snowfall. He has a numerical disadvantage, having to fight alone against Dolphin and Sorta. He has a mental disadvantage; he doesn't know what he's truly doing out here. He shows his vulnerability throughout these Frozen Lands because he is stuck. Frozen. He's the "lost island". He's alone. And his want for Power becomes more and more scrambled as he stays here. He did his best to uphold his facade of wanting Power when talking to Dany, yet when Dolphin and Sharkilz stood there in the middle of nowhere, armorless, he couldn't hold back. Dolphin provided relatability and understanding, something that Sharkilz hadn't experienced yet as far as the viewer knows. He still tries to grasp onto the Power because that was all he knew how to follow. After fighting Loppezz, he tells her, "If that trident is important to you, you should keep it." And this plays an important role at the end of the video where Sharkilz lets go on his trident. He lets go of Power. He realized that Power wasn't important to him. He didn't need it.

Little (big) thing I just noticed about ocean smp ep 3 is the exchange in Power. Sharkilz realizes that Power is a gift, so he utilizes it in his fight with Swizu. Swizu, who has never seen someone use a trident before, finds that to be cheating. After some talk and understanding, Swizu realizes there's nothing inherently wrong with having Power. He sees how Sharkilz looks at the trident. When Sharkilz and Swizu defeat Rejoice, Sharkilz hands Swizu the trident, allowing Swizu to have utilize the Power as a gift as well. Swizu gets to embrace it just as how Sharkilz is embracing it. Additionally, this is also a character development for Sharkilz, who at the beginning of the episode was very needy about the trident. Now, he's starting to understand that he can also share that Power with others.

There's a bit of this "switch-up" between Sharkilz and SourSplash. At the beginning of the episode, Sharkilz wants to give Sour an explanation, but Sour doesn't want to listen. By the end of it, Sour wants an explanation (a real one) from Sharkilz but Shark is unable to say much.

Sharkilz starts learning how to love his gifts, such as Power, at the academy. He gains the confidence to find and talk to Sour again after spending time with Swizu, yet he doesn't expect to immediately be found by SourSplash. When they reunite, Sour goes in with the idea that he could just quickly take out Shark and send him to the Loop. Shark tries to talk to him because it's what he's been striving to do for the past month or so. When Sour stops fighting for the first time, he realizes that he can't quickly kill Sharkilz as he hoped. The realizes the bitterness and anger can now really be heard from his voice as he talks about his experience in the Loop.

Sharkilz's first thought is to give him an explanation over an apology.

As Sour unleashes more and more of his anger onto Sharkilz throughout the episode, Shark loses his confidence, his ability, to really explain anything to Sour. He shrinks back and is unable to give Sour an answer that would satisfy him, becoming sorrowful and fearful of what he has done and might do again. He gives Power up to SourSplash because he is afraid of it (rather than just feeling lost) and he feels burdened by its existence. That Power is what got him here.

[and then Sharkilz gave up his Power to SourSplash, being left with absolutely nothing to him name - a lower low than in episode 2]
