Theory: Splatoon's story modes are inherently inspired by Metal Gear
WALL OF TEXT WARNING:
Point 1: Agent 3 is the equivalent of Solid Snake.
-Protagonist of first game, important to the next ones
-Hired by some people
-Fight and destroy Weapons of Destruction (Octoweapons/Metal Gears)
-Fight Final Mecha that big baddie is controlling (Metal Gear REX, Octobot King; Liquid Snake, Octavio)
-Said Big Baddie is of the same bloodline (Liquid Snake, also a clone of Big Boss like Solid Snake)/Animal Group (Octavio, a cephalopod)
Octavio is hence the equivalent of Liquid Snake, the Octobot King being Metal Gear REX.
Point 2: Captain Cuttlefish is the equivalent of Big Boss/Nαked Snake.
-First Captain/First Snake
-Presumed deαd by end of ROTM/Metal Gear saga, but:
-Cuttlefish is found dehydrated/"dead" but then is revived by Captain 3's tears
-Snake goes to Big Boss' grave at the end of MGS4, but then sees the alive Big Boss beside him
-Cuttlefish "hires" and trains Agent 3, Big Boss trains Solid Snake in CQC combat
-Cuttlefish is same species as 3, Solid Snake is clone of Big Boss
Point 3: Agent 8 is the equivalent of Raiden/Jack the Ripper
-Main Game Plot involves Agent 3/Solid Snake
-Born a child soldier (Jack)/Octarian Soldier (8), and finding freedom at some point in time.
-Captured by someone at some point in time (Commander Tartar/Solidus Snake) who they kill at the end of their game
-Had an old name (Jack, 8's pre-amnesia name is unknown), given new one by mentor character (Raiden is named so by Snake, Cuttlefish assigns Agent 8 with that title)
-Fight Big Thing With Laser near/by the end of their game (NILS Statue, has Ink Laser, Metal Gear RAY [MGS2], has Hydraulic Cutter)
-Will most likely not hesitate to KΙLL
Tartar is hence the equivalent of Solidus Snake aka George Sears, the NILS Statue being MGS2's Metal Gear RAY.
Point 4: Return of the Mammalians is the equivalent of Metal Gear Solid 4.
-Final game story-wise with their respective character groups
-Characters from all around the series
-ROTM would have featured Agents 4 and 8, and does feature Callie, Marie, Cuttlefish, and Octavio as major parts of the story…
-…just as MGS4 involves many characters from the other Metal Gear Solid games, such as Revolver Ocelot & Liquid Snake (As Liquid Ocelot), Raiden, and Big Boss
-With new characters as well (Deep Cut, MGS4's side characters)
-Pilot old enemy thing to defeat big enemy
-Solid Snake (with Otacon) pilots the Metal Gear REX to defeat Liquid Ocelot's Metal Gear RAY
-New Agent 3 (with Octavio) pilots the Octobot King L3.Gs to defeat Mr. Grizz, the final big bad
Therefore, we can assume (as it's not out yet) that Side Order will be the equivalent of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
-Involves major character(s) from past game, those being Off the Hook, and MGRR being Raiden's post-MGS4 spinoff story
-Protagonist is presumably Agent 8, who we've established is the equivalent of Raiden.
-Protagonist Octoling (8) is wearing a new outfit, as in MGR after the prologue Raiden has a new cyborg body
-Will more than likely touch on some darker themes as Octo Expansion did (while all of Metal Gear is pretty dark)
-What's presumed to be a new Octoshot in trailer art, like how Raiden has a new High Frequency Blade with his new cyborg body
-Even though Raiden's always wielded an HF Blade, it's just a new version, like how Agent 8 has always had an Octo Shot, this is presumably a new version
-Might also have to do with the Octoling themselves as there are flashback-like images in the trailer, and MGR also has Raiden question his own philosophies

School presented me with the topic "Failure" and I give them this
(Yes I know the goop coming from the sky isn't accurate n' only in Splat 3, I just wanted to make it more dramatic somehow)
