If inklings being splatted pretty much means they D I E, how does the respawn point bring them back? Furthermore, how the heck did they pull it off?
#Respawn Points

I’m going to assume that Inklings and Octolings are somehow linked to the Spawn Point so that soul thing that comes out when you die is kind of magnetized back to to spawn point, and activating Checkpoints moves the link to the checkpoint.
My question is does it continuously follow the age of the inkling or does it bring them back to the age they were when they touched it? And if it’s the ladder does that mean immortality is real?
vernal bobcat
how do they even get their gear/clothes back
you can see them explode and leave their stuff behind when they get splatted
warm bramble
Maybe part of the respawn process is getting the clothes the spawn point was activated with or they’re just made of Ink?
warm bramble
The made of Ink Part is coming from dropping your weapons when getting a new weapon/rainmaker in Splatoon 2 Hero Mode

The respawn point is just a small locker room so you gotta grab all your stuff before going back to the fight

But then shouldn't you be able to pull an overwatch and switch weapons?

That’s why it takes so long to respawn

That’d probably be annoying to deal with in the game and in lore, imagine some guy coming out starting out with a Tri-Stringer then switching out to Ballpoint, then Splattershot, Then Tetra, and then continuously switching after every death
Would be the most confusing thing to watch or play against, so they probably limit them to 1 weapon

Like, in lore they’d have a rule against more than 1 weapon wouldn’t they?
vernal bobcat
why wouldn't there be one

Who knows, maybe they don’t have any rules for Turf War and Inklings are just really nice. Hell they donate so much that they get free shirts because the gov’t has a surplus of ‘em

there's probably some dude out there that goes around carrying an entire armory into battles and using all the weapons
they most definitely were on naughty from that one spla1oon fest

Pfft

It gives you an extra main, sub, and special in a can
vernal bobcat
instead of diabetes in a can
they just put in an arsenal rivalling the US defense budget

Modifying weapons is illegal in the Splat universe sooo…
Grizzco weapons? Illegal

what's made of ink?
what about little buddy when in swim form, i picture that he is just inside the head, somewhere
untold saffron
Probably not
Death is a big part of their culture, so I don’t see them respawning
Though I wouldn’t count out their potential to, but they would probably choose not to if given that choice
warm bramble
Imagine a Salmon run where they just pull out a spawnpoint and it’s endless waves of steelheads
untold saffron
Steelheads I could handle
Endless waves of Flyfish, Stingers, Big Shots and Drizzlers on the other hand…

Imagine a spawn point malfunctioning and spitting you out, naked

"Gameplay bullshit I guess"
Bu yeah, would like some science behind that, since I know the splatoon 2 spawn pads used high pressure ink to respawn.

Yeah fair

Maybe it’s like a small ink tank similar to a Air tank on a paintball gun? Instead it’s full of ink

I think maybe the respawn points give another stable body of ink for the soul to use
like getting splatted just makes your ink body too unstable and thus explode
like maybe what seperates ink that can be used for a body and ink thats on the ground is pressure or smth
slate spoke
Id say, everything a inkling/octoling has is made from ink in some form or another, just the clothes and weapon being a hardened variant, and when splatted these things just slowly dissolve instead of just exploding, and the respawn point regenerating everything, thats why it takes so long.
And every time you activate a checkpoint/get ready for a fight the checkpoint/respawn station just remembers everything your clothing is and what attributes it had.
But thats just a theory from my side

there is most certainly rules, remember the grizz co weapons from splatoon 2 that are literally stated to be illegal

See it doesn’t take that long to do the respawning itself, just for the soul to get there, if you notice in the animation it takes less than a second to respawn after the soul enters the spawn point
ripe sierra
The "soul", I'd say, is like the strictly vital parts of an Inkling, in a semi-gaseous state that can be picked up by spawn points.

My theory is:
To regain clothes/weapons: Stolen Octo Tech. Really is the only logical answer.
For ink/octolings, their entire body is the ink, and their “soul” is their true body, || Imagine Cuttlefish’s new form, but without being all dried up. ||
