What your Splatoon 3 Locker is REALLY for

The plot twist is she pocketed it afterwards :o
Support me on Ko-fi so I can upload more frequently!

Took a detour from the Blender animation I'm working on to make this short & silly thing ^^ The Splatoon 3 Direct introduced trading cards & lockers; I'm sure that for some of us, that awoke some buried school flashbacks, haha

I probably don't need a disclaimer, but I'll put one here anyway to say that I don't have anything against card collectors lol. My oldest brother has the complete set of 151 original Japanese Pokemon cards & it's one of the coolest things I've ever laid eyes on tbh

And of course, do not shove people into lockers IRL w/o their consent!

I can’t wait to see lockers that are filled to the brim with duplicates of a single item. Like a locker completely filled with shovels

[shokotwokawa]

With how canonically aggressive inklings are they’d totally do this

[ASquared]

Sheldon, pulling out the Custom Rainmaker: “Pro tip- Don’t bully your arms dealer.”

[BlueLeef]

Serves him right, he doesn't even have the ultra rare gold foiled "Big-Shot" salmonid card. The nerve of some nerds...

[nathanbermudez]

Can't wait to make my locker completely empty except a poorly drawn sign that says "get in"

[starpower]

Sheldon is the literal embodiment of "🤓"

When everyone was saying they wanted Apartment rooms to decorate in Splatoon 3, I knew that from a logical stand-point that that wasn't gonna happen.
I mean, having your own apartment room to decorate would've been cool and all, but I knew that there were many reasons why they weren't gonna add them.
HOWEVER, getting customizable lockers is something I didn't see coming and I quite like it.

Edit: Why does Sheldon scream in auto-tune at the end?

[oofrxz]

What if they released merch of the idols in-game, like imagine if I could have a locker filled to the BRIM with big man t-shirts, because that sounds literally amazing. Also, the art was great in this video! I really like the artstyle :)

[ajdude]

The voice acting on this is perfect, especially the little scream at the end.

[Ceeington]

I’m gonna try to make my locker look like there’s been a murder, step 1 is getting that shovel I saw in the direct

[imreallybadatnamingthings]

We need more animations of Sheldon being shoved into lockers.

When I clicked on this video, I thought it was going to be New Agent 3 opening the locker, seeing Inner Agent 3 glaring back at them comically contorted to fit inside, and silently closing the door and walking away.

[creeperswitchgaming]

Wait, is he holding it with his bare hands? He's gonna it's ruin its PSA value!

[Kbmands]

Ooooh, that’d actually be sick if we can put Table Turf Battle cards into our lockers.

The only reason Sheldon hasn’t been entirely ostracized by the inklings is that he’s an arms dealer. If he didn’t sell any of them weapons they would have immediately duct taped him to the inside of his shell and then to a wall.

[xana]

Careful, that man's a weapons dealer. I wouldn't wanna piss off his "friends."

[gaminggeckos]

Love how the punchline is IMMEDIATELY clear within the first second of the video (I’m not being sarcastic, it’s pretty funny how it works like that).
Like, I see the thumbnail and the title, and think “Oh, is there possibly gonna be some extra feature?” Then I click on it, see Shelldon being a nerd, and within just a single second, think “oh no”

[Akechi_Komaeda]

Remember, lockers are here to *bully*

[macd-man]

I thought it was for underground trading. Rare ink colors sell like hotcakes on the Splatsville black market

[skrub_king]

I bet he doesn't even have the Ultra Rare Platinum Octobomber card
