So, it's 2017 or 2015 and you go in the story mode to fight bosses. But you hear screaming before or after the boss fight. Are those the OE test subjects screaming for help? I need someone's input!
#Are the test subjects from OE screaming from getting blended?

it is entirely up to speculation!!
I highly doubt they really thought that far ahead to OE back in S1, nor does seemingly anyone on staff know besides whoever was in charge of making the soundscape in the first place.
From a Eurogamer interview with S1’s co-director, Tsubasa Takaguchi:
There's one mystery that's been baffling players since Splatoon's release: upon completing the game, and defeating its challenging final boss, those that stick around can hear distant, tortured screams. What on earth could it mean? Sakaguchi is just as puzzled as everyone else. “It's the first time I've heard this! I was the one who was in charge of the mechanics and the effects for the final boss. Towards the end, though, I was running out of time so I was asking the staff around me to do things for me - like the staff credits and many other things. Maybe it's a curse from those other staff. The final boss was one of the last things that we were working on. We were all high on adrenaline. Maybe there's some element of that in there, of that energy in there. Once I go back to Japan, I'll play it and have a look.”
Believe and speculate all you wish about this track, but to be honest it’s perfectly possible it’s merely some unsettling ambience a sound designer made for kicks

Thanks for the information, Vic! I really needed it.

It’s the sounds of splatoon fans after there wasn’t a side order trailer in the direct.

True!!!
tight hatch
it's the sound of linguists tearing their hair out as they put more thought into squid language than the developers did

I want it to be something stupid
Like octarians cutting off their limbs to have a child
The bossfight is over “The Child Making Pit” where octarian couples go to slice off eachothers tentacles to create a child, and the screams are screams of pain, and adrenaline, as they fight over who must sacrifice a limb with comically large scissors

oh god what did I just read
