splatoon 3 Imagines an alternate world where sea creatures instead of mammals took over the land. The game is set in a post-postapocalyptic world where humanity has been wiped out and sentient marine life has taken its place. The series’ signature character, an inkling, can be in the form of both a child and a squid. However, there are a few exceptions concerning the sport, including Lil Judd, a cat who helps referee your matches. But now, speculation has been clouded over the adorable fuzzball as new information emerges. splatoon 3,
Although the Splatoon series is primarily known for being a competitive online shooter, the developers manage to pack in extensive lore around the day-to-day competitions. They do this by having a very strong single-player campaign with a story, and giving players the chance to discover collectibles, like scrolls, that reveal more about the game’s world. That’s where Lil Judd comes in.
Lil Judd is a cat character introduced in splatoon 2, He has an ornate reputation and has been known to be bitter about being second only to Judd. In splatoon 3, you can collect a sunken scroll that shows the process of cloning Lil Judd from Jude. They both look exactly alike, sporting a cute bow-tie color as a pattern on their fur. The only difference is that Li’l Judd’s hair is a little less clean, his eyes are a bit dotted, and he’s shorter than Judd. Together they serve as judges for your competitive matches in Splatoon. And, well, we have reasons to believe that Lil Judd is evil.

After defeating the single-player campaign of splatoon 3Lil Judd’s character model undergoes a questionable transformation. After you beat the game, he starts wearing the headset. And this small detail could be the key to uncovering his potentially nefarious intentions.
In the Splatoon universe, players can participate in a game mode called Salmon Run, where players take a shady temporary job collecting a valuable resource called Power Eggs for a company called Grizzo Industries. As you play, you are guided through the headset by an anonymous voice. At the end of splatoon 3 We meet Grizzko’s owner, a giant bear named Mr. Grizz who seeks revenge and reclaims the land with mammals. Turns out he’s the biggest villain in the game. If you successfully complete the campaign, our fearless hero foils his plans and we see Mr. Gryz exploding.
All the signs point towards the complete destruction of Bigg Boss. However, Grizzo Industries is still around and kicking in after you beat the solo campaign. This leads to a question: Who is driving Grizzo and talking to you through the headset? Now fans think it’s Li’l Judd because he wears the headset after defeating Mr.

It all makes sense considering Li’l Judd’s overall demeanor. In the world of sports, it is a well known fact that Lil Judd does not like Judd. and nintendo even confirmed That Li’l Judd has an “in-fur-aurity” complex with Judd, because he’s just a replica of the real deal. In addition, in splatoon 3The opposing team is always shown to you as the “bad boy” and Lil Judd always represents them. Plus, he’s a mammal, so it makes sense that he might have some malice toward marine life, as does Mr.
However, there are some twists in the case against Lil Judd. The main sound we hear in the headset is of course the sound of Grizz. We hear him at the end of the game and the same thing happens during the salmon run, and the distorted voice in the headset doesn’t change after the solo campaign. So it’s possible it’s just a slight inconsistency between the story and the match mode. But we may have to wait for a new Splatoon game or DLC to see if this particular plot line gets addressed further.
