What Would Happen If An Inkling Dipped Their Finger In Water? #splatoon3 #shorts

If an inkling dipped their finger in water.. would they dissolve and splat or would they be ok?

Spoilers: Absolutely nothing.
Inklings and Octolings only dissolve when they fall into a huge body of water, where there is more water than the ink in their body.
For example, if they fall into the ocean, the ratio of water vs ink is like 99.99 to 0.001, so they dissolve. But if they just dip a finger in water, its harmless.
How else would they drink soda and juice, which is just water with additives and fruit?

considering that they swim a bit before splattering when falling into water.

i can imagine they have SOME resistance.

but what i actually think would happen is kinda hard to describe.

the part that got wet would be semi dissolved and be in a slimey state of the ink.

I think it’s similar to an oil in an emulsion, if there’s barely any water they don’t get broken apart, but if enough water coats them they start getting split up and dissolving

[SnaksiXD]

I think inklings work in a way which allows their bodies to merge and absorb small amounts of water, like a glass of it. When they're introduced to a large body of water, their body cannot absorb it which results in their body trying to spread it's molecules across the entire surface area in the efforts of absorbing it, which their bodies can't handle, causing them to be splatted.

Inkfish skin is so thin that the pressure from falling into or being submerged into water that's more than knee deep will result in their skin literally imploding from the pressure. The skin is so thin in order to allow them to transform between swim form and human form. (as confirmed by a dev interview awhile back)

So no, nothing will happen if one dips their fingers or even hand in a glass of water. They may feel a bit more pressure than, say, we would, but it wouldnt dissolve them or do anything of that sorts

They would be fine as in grizzco salmon runs inklings can dip their feet in water before eventually drowning

[cam_the_speedrunner]

In the splatoon 1 story mode it states that they can't swim because of their large heads and skinny bodies, making it impossible to float. There is nothing special about water, except that inklings don't float.

In Salmon Run, you can actually dip your feet in water, so they should be able to survive, if they dip their hands in water.

If they were splatted or fell into water, where would they respawn or would they respawn? Like outside of matches

[Tempest]

I have been avoiding this short for a long time because I was expecting an extremely graphic depiction of an inkling having their finger dissolved down to the bone. I am pleasantly un-mortified.

Bro talks like an angel
That's kind of adorable ngl

[sebastianthedemiboy]

This is confirmed by Judd, they simply can’t swim, touching water is okay, which is how they’re clean

[derpycows]

Since they hold themselves together with ink, I assumed they dissolve when the amount of water (or other liquid) is enough to "disturb" the ink concentration. So a few fingers isn't an issue, but falling into a pool of water is.

[rayplaysgamesrpg]

One of my friends theorized actually it's not based on how much water covers their body. Rather it's based on the water density.

Inklings can drink water, and they shower too according to Marie. What my friend theorizes is if the water is fresh water, for say drinking water, showers, and sinks, they can survive. However, if the water has too much density, especially containing salt, they would dissolve. Pools and fountains are known for using chlorine to disinfect, which happens to contain sodium chloride.

[asimplehuman.]

They can only dissolve in large amounts of SALT water. So this explains why there are swimsuits in splatoon, as Marie and Callie recall an embarrassing role in an advertisement.

I always imagined that inklings splat when they touch water during turf battles due to their equipment, not because of their biology.

[budderguy]

I feel like their ink based bodies can tolerate small amounts of water, but too much disrupts their biology too significantly. I think of it more like hot sauce. The body can tolerate a fair bit before you regret ever taking that first bite.

Inklings are not hurt by water itself, they are just unable to swim in it and get overhydrated when they enter in contact with water this is all due to SALT.
inklings are adapted to a high osmotic pressure environiment created by their own ink which is rich in Sodium, this keeps their squishy structure in a constant balance of water and electrolites, but when they enter a low osmotic pressure environiment like regular or salt water their cells get bloated with water molecules and they take cellular damage.
a little water wouldn't hurt them (like we see in game) but prolonged exposure to it and specially swimming in it would cause more serious damage although not as instant as we see in game.
this is the exact same reason why we can't put salt water fish in freshwater environiments.

TLDR inklings absorb and release salt constantly from both their ink and their environiment, if you put them in water it would not kill them immediately but they wouldn't be able to swim in it, just like how a human has an easier time floating in salty water compared to freshwater

Cotton candy effect: they hand dissolves and slowly spreads but doesn’t dissolve the whole inkling

[dragonweirdocreap]

My head cannon is just that they disolve when they are in ink producing mode to use ink weapons.
